This is wrong. We know from Ella telling us directly that there are requirements to reaching Level 5, and there is a good chance we might not meet those requirements, thus we would not be able to evolve except by the use of the serum.i see people talking about the "trials" and a "checklist" superhumans have to reach to be level five but i think everyone is confusing becoming level 5 with becoming a god/apostle's chosen. there are no "trials" or "steps" for level 5's that's what charecters like michael Alice the MC and jake have but that isn't connected to them being able to get to level 5. the main trio among the captains of Bernhardt Malik and Henry are noted to be different from the others and in Henry's case the reason is all but stated to be that he's like the MC and has another powerful entity inside him on top of being level 5 and while malik's unusually potent power is because he also unknowingly completed trials over his long life as a superhuman this is seemingly only the case for him and bernie not the other captains. with that being said i think it's entirely likely he could take Xanthe's serum to reach level five as that isn't the biggest milestone in the grand scheme of things: The MC harnessing the eye's power is the actual thing that will help him reach those higher tiers of power.
The trials are unrelated to evolving, but are optional bonuses that Apostles can offer superhumans. Pass the test, and gain a boost or a new ability, or something.
To our understanding, the requirements to being a Chosen are just, being sapient and being well liked by the apostle. Then you undergo a ritual that presumably makes you pure genetically of that line, while also weaving Chosenhood into your very existence.
