Considering that we can always know how much corruption Mc has and that he is able to enter the trance in both his 2 and 3 evolution with no corruption at all i don't think this is the main factor, though it could be said that it makes the existing connection stronger (high corruption Mc can understand monsters better in general).15) I think the catalyst is corruption. Xanthe's formula is sterile and HERO members use the helmet to completely nullify corruption. Non HERO superhumans don't have that choice. Klaus was extremely concerned when MC evolved because he didn't recognize the post evolution trance. Considering that he had some connection to Xanthe, it's possible that he himself never experienced it because he used Xanthe's products.
That and the fact that the serum that Klaus use was a defect where it either wasn't as potent or that it increase the likely of a superhuman becoming a monster as Klaus was looking more monsteras as the fight drag own. Where he was growing horns, his teeth was becoming more shape and animalist, as well as his eyes and pupil looking more demonic, made me think that Xanthe purposely give Klaus the serum as test to see how it would respond to a superhuman evolving.Considering that we can always know how much corruption Mc has and that he is able to enter the trance in both his 2 and 3 evolution with no corruption at all i don't think this is the main factor, though it could be said that it makes the existing connection stronger (high corruption Mc can understand monsters better in general).
I think Klaus was worried because he didn't know much about evolutions in general, maybe he knew that the serum was able to make people evolve and outside from that there was a high chance of monsterfying, so when Mc started to act strange he assumed he was starting to become a monster.
MC's third evolution involved a lot of corruption because it was triggered by getting overloaded with unfiltered monster material. The second one though yes, can be achieved with no corruption and the result is the same.Considering that we can always know how much corruption Mc has and that he is able to enter the trance in both his 2 and 3 evolution with no corruption at all i don't think this is the main factor, though it could be said that it makes the existing connection stronger (high corruption Mc can understand monsters better in general).

You can still have zero corruption though, any corruption the game gives for that evolution is based on not wearing the helmet.MC's third evolution involved a lot of corruption because it was triggered by getting overloaded with unfiltered monster material.

Now that's 5 dimensional thinking or maybe i'm just drunk WOW first the child groomer on the grimdank got me like shittttttt wtf? But now this got me like wut? Maybe julie is the name of W.W Bully thats why he names 3 characters like that maybe W.W is a she and her name is ella that would explain why the cunt has more plot armor than a wuxia MC XDI found...something. Maybe. I don't know. You know the green-haired researcher that the MC impersonated in order to infiltrate HERO for Tiffany? Her name is Julie. "Well watch it douchebag! I'm a very important person you know!" she said at the time and I didn't think much more of her.
You know Christie's idiot friend who tried to bully Ella in St Artorius Middle School with green paint? The one who got to see what Ella really is. Her name was Julie. Christie says that Julie was livid when she started hanging out with Ella in both versions, but there's an additional line if you devour Christie (you monster): "We became close friends of after that, having a lot of fun, usually at Julie's expense..." The only difference I can see between what Christie tells you and the more "direct" method.
It's probably someone else. Not many people graduated that year, but there are only three named characters in that flashback and WW didn't have to give Julie a name.
Then in Dead End 37, while "Origin" is running wild, we hear a random "Julie! Watch out!" Assuming it's the green-haired girl and not a third Julie, what was she doing in the Battle of the Diamonds? Wasn't she a researcher?
I know that doesn't amount to much, but I keep wondering: how did Xanthe know what Ella's powers were like at Level 1?
Probably nothing, but possibly something. Thought I'd share.
You onto something there mah boi. Now she's just some ol minor character (for now) but if I remember right unlike most minor characters we see (be they male or female) she has a face that isn't obscured by a shadow of some sort. Why give her a more detailed face than usual for a minor character if not to bring her back later on. Now that's just goin off the face thing, could be wrong and weird just wanted to put more effort into a one off character.I found...something. Maybe. I don't know.

Xanthe could easily have been monitoring Ella, or they knew from Zack... The importance of that information is Ella has been on HERO's radar for a long time...I know that doesn't amount to much, but I keep wondering: how did Xanthe know what Ella's powers were like at Level 1?

I think it adds detail, I respect authors a hell of a lot more for referencing little detail wayyyy back so if I ever reread I can be like: "Oh shit! You didn't have to but that's cool you didn't forget about that character!" Regardless if it's major or not.You onto something there mah boi.

1. I was wagering it was just due to influence. About the same way Dexter knows the MC's Dad. Of course they do, they are a RICH, SECRET, TOP OF THE LINE TECH company with an monopoly on SUPERPOWERS, why wouldn't they know about the Superhuman potentially involved in the slaughter of an ENTIRE Middle School Grad Ceremony or a shady guy that's poking his nose in everyone's business. Keep in mind this is the same group that made the world government bend over in less than a day.Xanthe could easily have been monitoring Ella, or they knew from Zack... The importance of that information is Ella has been on HERO's radar for a long time...
As for the Julie's : it could very well be one and the same person... But it could be just coincidence...
I think we should expect the possibility the St. Arturius Massacre is just a cover-up...
Only two surviving, Ella and Christie, so we only have her eyewitness report of what happened to Ella before...
We know MC does not remember how his eyes got scarred, we know Christie tells us what she remembers, her story is the same if we devour her... A superhuman that can change or erase memories isn't that far fetched...
Ella mentions somewhere she is "sort of" orphan too...
But until we get the complete story, it's just a lot speculation, the St. Arturius Massacre, MC's eyes and mother, Zack Zaman's team and their defeat, Ella and MC being the only 2 survivors of some group and Ella watching MC all these years. In some way they're connected, we just don't know how....
Is it really that surprising though? We know that those who survive the infection at younger ages are typically the most gifted and she's a spawn of the 3rd Apostle. Ella was turned at 14 and probably reached her 3rd Evolution by 15, if she progressed similarly to the MC. So some time passed that in the 6 years leading up to the start of the game she's reached level 4 and remained there. She's 21 currently, maybe about to be 22. When laid out like that, it's impressive but not shocking with what we know.1. I was wagering it was just due to influence. About the same way Dexter knows the MC's Dad.

3. Ya I'll bet Deryl's scrotum (cause I don't care about that) that upon our runaway we met up with Ella amongst HER also run away gap. I can't remember if we got the scars BEFORE or AFTER the run away. But if it's the former I wager it had something to do with how we found our Mom, and if it's the latter I wager it had something to do with Ella, maybe she did, or a monster attack, and she just wiped out memories of it. There's no telling what she could do at Lvl 4 but if at 3 like we are right now we can flood memories or even restore them without even having to touch our victims, who knows, it would explain why if we DID meet previously why we have no recollection. Just odd that she would kill us (actual beginning of our relation) if she was so invested in us (personally) at the "start" (gap) of our relationship...
4. I'm betting on:
-MC eyes: Monster attack (rather than Ella, not that it's impossible to be her, but those scars just seem very specific)
-The Massacre: Monster Attack (unless it was Ella vs another Superhuman potentially? I doubt it was JUST her killing all of them out of revenge and MISSING Julie. She seems above that and more goal oriented)
-MC Ella Connection: Month gap runaway orphanage (or she was just REALLLLLLY invested in us as a Superhuman candidate, but she's already mentioned we weren't on the top of her list. I have a feeling we are just a BACKUP for her plan in case she fails, which is why she's so adamant about training us personally rather than trying to manipulate us for a goal like Deryl or Jake, at least now; before I think we were just a vessel for maybe whatever she is summoning whether that be the Arbiter or not, but it still doesn't explain WHY she would do it, as I feel the Monsters aren't really here for our BEST INTERESTS).
Sidenote: How did Ella get SO STRONG SO FAST? If she really did get her powers amongst our matching Middle School days and it WASN'T a time travel replacement scenario; how on god's green earth did she obtain Lvl 4 in only a couple of years? I mean Bernhardt and Malik have been Lvl 5 for a while, but I don't think they've been that way for 80+ years, they are just that old, who knows when they ACTUALLY hit Lvl 5 within that range. Out of all the Superhumans we've seen, the only one with faster natural growth is us (doing it all within like 3 months? Maybe 2? To get to Lvl 3, sheesh) but Ella is on another level. The only downside is using the serum to get to 5, but from 1 to 4 in sayyy, 11 to 13 and what she's now 18 20? Not a lot of time at all consider some people spend their whole lives just trying to get to 3 alone...
Fuck I gotta pay attention, I totally forgot about Henri tho that's true he must REALLY have a deep connection with his Apostle source.Is it really that surprising though? We know that those who survive the infection at younger ages are typically the most gifted and she's a spawn of the 3rd Apostle. Ella was turned at 14 and probably reached her 3rd Evolution by 15, if she progressed similarly to the MC. So some time passed that in the 6 years leading up to the start of the game she's reached level 4 and remained there. She's 21 currently, maybe about to be 22. When laid out like that, it's impressive but not shocking with what we know.
She's also not exactly unique in that aspect, besides surviving the infection at a young age. Lexi, for example, was turned around the same time at 23 and became level 4 at an unknown amount of time before becoming level 5 at 28, currently. Both got infected 5 to 6 years ago(Ella 14 and Lexi 23) and both reached level 4, to now level 5, in that span of time(Ella 21 and Lexi 28 now).
The current ridiculous person is actually Henri, honestly. He skipped all the way to his 5th Evolution in a week on accident from level 1(?). We don't exactly know the time table from when he got infected to that event happening but we do know he reached it naturally and has been at it for some decades like Malik and Bernhardt.
All that said, MC's growth is still fast. It's been almost a year worth of time in game and he's already reached his 3rd level, though he did it "Artificially". With this update, we also learned that the 5th Evolution is extremely hard to reach naturally. Which would explain why everyone seems to get stuck at their 4th, and it keeps them there for years. Even Captains from HERO were stuck there until Xanthe developed the serum. That means people like Nyx, Zack and Lucius were level 4 for decades. Ella would've likely shared the same fate as well, if she didn't steal the serum.
So, while what Ella and the MC did was impressive, they're not the sole people progressing fast and it seems reasonable, in verse, when looking at characters like Lexi and so on.
