Don'T Go Beyond the Ocean, Part Ii

...“There they found a small Evenki village, settled down there, took the women as wives, True Man thought they would live there quietly, but very soon a strange fact they did find… “It seemed their genes were hyper-dominant, and as they wives gave them daughters and sons, they inherited their fathers’ great strength, not just a few, but every single one! “Ninety percent of their kids’ DNA were a copy of what their fathers had, that’s not how it works for the peasants, boys, a savage child is born half-and-half. “When True Man realized what his children were the calculus of his existence changed, if their children were Better humans too then they would not just survive, they would reign! “The first fathers took up multiple wives, had as many children as they could make, for twenty years grew their population, until at least a thousand they could claim. “Then True Man began expanding his land, with all the Betters they conquered freely, locals and police were no match for them, and corrupt was Russia’s military. “By the time that nation saw the true threat, the First Fathers has seized an army base, with peasants as fodder for their advance, they struck out and attacked all that they faced. “Before long they had seized nuclear arms, threatened destruction to all who’d resist, this made the response fractured, half-hearted, none of the peasants had known fear like this! “And where Betters went, they would take move wives, then give them children who were strong and proud, these Betters grew up to rule their home towns, loyalty to the True Man they avowed. “By the time he was sixty all Asia had been conquered, and lived under his rule, by seventy Europe had collapsed too, the whole world saw him as vicious and cruel. “Africa did not resist all that much, and when True Man had reached eighty years of age, he looked only forty, and could proclaim more than half the world did live by his say. “Old orders and nations lost to the winds, not realizing that they had helped his cause by schooling the people to obey the state, to just grumble and then accept the laws. “What was one tyrant compared to the next?
