Demon Cub Manufacturing

How did Abyss Demons in the Bottomless Abyss reproduce?

There were many ways.

Among them, the most orthodox method was undoubtedly the scheduled, fixed-location, yet variable-quantity mass production of Styx Riverside Nursery!

Wave after wave of Styx water simply rose and fell, and that was that!

The only problem was that survival rates were hard to predict.

Most newborns were still in egg form when they were eaten by the top students of their own cohort!

Even if they luckily broke free of their egg forms and became capable of running, jumping, and fighting, they would most likely still be eaten by their own kind along the riverbank.

A somewhat less conventional method was mass production by high-ranking Abyss Demons of the reproductive line. For the specifics, one could look to the Zerg for reference.

Of the Demon cubs produced this way, the vast majority could only spend their entire lives as laborers for the mother body!

An even more unconventional method was mating-based reproduction, like that of ordinary creatures, with output varying from high to low.

As for the most unconventional methods, there was fission-based reproduction—one becoming two, two becoming four, four becoming eight... There were also parasitic reproduction methods, demonic transformation reproduction methods... Those were rather difficult to describe.

In any case, the Bottomless Abyss was crawling with talent. Every one of them spoke so nicely—who knew what kind of mischief they could cook up...

The Demons of this plane, however, clearly were not as skilled at playing around or committing evil as that lot in the Bottomless Abyss.

As natural Lifeforms automatically condensed from Black Mana, one of this plane's Five-Color Mana types.

They basically had only two ways of increasing their population: mating-based reproduction and natural gestation.
