"Hmm? Have a baby? What?"
Little Ball looked at Moss in confusion, unable to understand what her master meant.
"That's right! Have a baby! No, according to the Slime way of putting it, it should be splitting!"
Moss clapped her hands together, tilted her head, and said with a smile.
The Slime race reproduced through fission, a common form of asexual reproduction!
"Splitting? Got it!"
Through her contract with Moss, Little Ball easily understood what she meant and happily jumped into the air!
But then Little Ball shook herself at Moss, and a confused voice followed.
"Little Ball can't."
"Oh, is that so..."
Moss said with some regret. She rubbed her chin and lowered her head, beginning to ponder.
Little Ball's panel also had no mention of splitting, which meant it truly couldn't do it.
But in theory, as long as it was a Slime, it should naturally be capable of splitting to reproduce.
However, Moss couldn't guarantee that!
During the period when she had been researching Slimes, she had observed Slimes splitting only a handful of times.
Moreover, based on her observations, the Slimes that split varied in size, basically ruling out size as the cause of Slime fission.
Then under what circumstances did Slimes split?
Moss slowly raised her head and looked at Little Ball. She already had an idea.
"...In other words, is it related to the amount of Mana Essence and the differences between individual Slimes?"
A creature's limit for withstanding Mana Essence continually increased as its rank rose. Once it reached its limit, excess Mana Essence would be expelled from its body!
This applied to humans and most monsters alike!
The reason she said "most" was that this world was too vast—so vast that even Moss couldn't comprehend it.
Who could say how many other
