We may unironically get gender-bending. Deryl's most likely path to increased power is to do what his monster self did, and fuse with a chimera after letting them cultivate their power. However, he also said that after absorbing all his existing clones (which he has), his monster self's plan was to create a female clone and fuse with that. The Rebis is a hermaphrodite, after all. It's a symbol of alchemy's ability to unite the incomplete into a perfect whole, that it has both male and female characteristics. So it's entirely possible that we might get a female Deryl clone running around for a while, presumably with our Deryl controlling the body at all times due to not wanting to repeat what happened with his other proxies. Deryl having two bodies, one of which is female, may actually be what happens.
