There is one thing you overlooked. Ella is trying to make a superhuman with the proper traits, but they don't need to be a greater spawn or a spawn of one of the numbered.Sorry, I meant it took Ella almost a decade to go from Level 1 to Level 5. Still wrong, but less wrong. You're right about her age too. I checked the talk with Christie. 14-15 when her parents died and currently 21. Six or seven years with one syringe from infection to final evolution. My point stands though: do we have that kind of time?
Oh, I said earlier the only way I could see us escaping HERO was if something took out Deus or Nicoletta, without one of them helping us I should add*. I was just clarifying that I didn't actually think there was a chance of either of them dying. That's all. It wasn't directed at anything you said.
Most of Ella's plans are pretty high risk, but she doesn't seem to be that concerned about the MC turning on her. In the short-term--he's no threat. Long term? She doesn't think there is a long-term if the MC doesn't reach Level 3. He'll be dead.
Leaking our identity to push the MC towards HERO would definitely be a gamble. Leaving us to fight Kenny, raiding the research lab and releasing Valravn weren't exactly safe bets either. I think she's weighed the chance of betrayal against her belief that we're certain to die without another level. Natural evolution as our only option is just too unpredictable. If wanting it was enough, Ella wouldn't have needed the serum to reach Level 5. There's another way.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
While I don't know what her end-game is and I think Ella actually likes the MC, she has an ulterior motive to levelling us up.
Even if we were to turn on Ella, the geas should stop us from talking for a while. And if we have to evolve to break it? That works for her too.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
...Now that I think about it, why didn't the geas go off when we told Christie and Emily what we knew? Do we even know anything that would damage her operations? I just assumed we were under the same restriction Deryl was. A geas makes something forbidden, but Charlie might have prohibited something else.
Honestly, Deryl's clone might be more of a threat to her plans than we are. If he's geas-free and remembers what she wanted him to do, Ella is in deep shit if he passes that information along.
Ella made the MC first for that purpose, and later Jake, but she also turned the jocks James and Kenny into Minyak spawn to try to use them since she doesn't want to use the MC for her goal and she was skeptical that Jake would be suitable.
I also might have missed Michael being created for that goal, I don't remember that from the storyline. Do you know which part mentions Michael could also be used instead of the MC for Ella's plan?
