Holy shit thanks for the double release today. Youre nuts

 

[whosaint]

Ah... Yesh...
It getting intense.

Thanks for the double updates

Edit: so... The next chapter is the last chapter huh?

 

[Yourself]

Now everything makes sense. Sishimoto the madman!

 

[criver]

@Yourself More like nothing makes sense. How does mixing up species with humans help for the preservation of the race? Seems like a needlessly convoluted plan just to make the plot "work".

 

[Laxius]

what an awesome sister.

 

[Norlamin]

Honestly, that entire explanation was bad ass. It's clearly cut short in certain areas due to the axe, but it's one of the better ones.

 

[bradek]

Where's the parasite?
I guess this is the most illogical a supercomputer can get.

 

[Yourself]

@criver Humans became too weak because of sitting in front of computers or the like. Their brains got bigger but their limbs withered. Their evolutionary cycle was approaching a dead end. Since there’s only 1 ancient human left, they couldn’t properly repopulate the species either. So they decided to recreate humanity at its peak through artificial evolution and make it so the new humans won’t suffer the same fate by having genes from every other successful species.

Well that's interesting. But it's probably for the best if Mitsuki's DNA is used as the template for males. After a few generations the resulting Human-Chimera hybrids will be pretty strong and resemble humans enough that the world would return to some stability.

Typo on page 19: "She is a psuedo-chimera combined....." >> "She is a pseudo-chimera combined....."

 

[NamelessTranslation]

@nutjob Thanks, fixed

 

[GuildMasterJin]

ah so that ram kid was messed up from the start

 

[criver]

@Yourself And the best way to do this, was to mix their DNA with creatures lower down the ladder of evolution, like flies? And then make a race to see who will reach destination X first, and decide what the best are based on that? I don't buy it, too irrational and stupid for supposedly being the plan of smart evolved humans. The author just didn't think this through.

 

[XL]

OoooOOoOOOO *mind blown*

 

[Liquidxlax]

That ain't a bad spin for a cancelled manga. It sucks it did get cancelled, but the art is fantastic. Wonder what would happen if Mitsuki entered, then every human could be anything they wanted and their intellect could become limitless in a sense due to the infinite possibilities of the body

 

[Homelander]

You go onee-chan and show us those sexy battle poses!

 

[Yourself]

@criver The new humans were already smart enough but what they lacked was a strong body to survive. So that's why Yaweh decided to add the DNA of the 'fittest specimens' to the human pool. If they could survive all those trials, then they'd most probably have what it takes.

 

[criver]

@Yourself You realize that some of the species they chose to "mix" in with, in the manga,have objectively inferior organs, right? Trust me, you do not want an insect's "eyeballs",
or any organs lower down the evolution chain for that matter. If the goal was indeed physical fitness, then gene engineering towards myostatin definiciency would have been more than enough (it's something we can do at this very moment, and which we sometimes employ on animals).
The premise and resolution is simply bs, the manga was enjoyable though.

 

[Yourself]

@criver Insects perhaps not but some crustaceans like the mantis shrimp have eyes far superior to humans. The latter for instance has a dozen of photoreceptor cells (vs 3 for humans) and can perceive both ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths in addition to the full visible light spectrum. Also, I'm sure the mangaka was planning to explore the concept in better depth and have a more conclusive resolution but it wouldn't be possible within the the few chapters he was given before the axe.
