I Shall Evolve Everything-Chapter 69 Advancement
With a flash we were back, it left a bitter taste in my mouth that we had to leave before we could gather any more useful intel.
However it would have been useless the middle realm was too big and if we had tried to cross into the utopia that we had seen it would have taken at least a week at the speed we were going.
That was time that we didn't have, time that would have been better put to use in preparations.
Before I could go back inside to rest for a second we were intercepted by Delta.
The odd thing was that Delta had with her one of Melia's subordinates that I had her teach. She seemed rather plain with black hair and brown eyes, nothing exceptional but she seemed to be smiling which added to her charm.
"This is…" Delta began before the girl interrupted her an eager grin on her face, "Rhea, I'm Rhea"
Though after introducing herself she quieted down like she didn't really have anything to say.
"Rhea has a lot of potential, she wanted me to introduce her." Delta said her monotone features not betraying any of the emotion that she held. It was obvious by the way that Delta had learned her name that this Rhea had potential and Delta's favor. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
After Delta had said her piece she handed me a blueprint which prompted a system notification to appear.
[Cybernetic Enhancement mk1]
[A blueprint that guides the user on how to enhance the human body with electronics, allowing for the enhancement of arm strength, a targeting system, and enhanced cognitive abilities]
The blueprint was amazing though I didn't know if we had the resources to allow us to even enhance one person.
The most advanced things we even have right now that we could make are the turrets but that was only because we had gotten lucky and found deposits of ores that would allow us to build them.
"Are we-"
"Yes, we have the materials for one person" before I could ask it was like Delta had already predicted what I would ask. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m
"On Rhea?" I asked.
"Yes" these enhancements would be useless to me but to Rhea would allow for her to improve upon her design and improve herself even further" Delta explained in the most words that I had ever heard her say.
There was one more question that I had though.
"If Rhea could improve on her enhancements what about you with enhancements much more superior to hers"
"I am however it would have taken years without the research building that you gave me" a breath, "Now it should only take months"
After that the conversation died down. Delta left to install the enhancements on Rhea and I finally was allowed to rest.
Aoif next to me had already fallen asleep, the exhaustion of the day hitting her hard. Looking at her sleeping form brought my own exhaustion upon me.
My eyes felt heavy and slowly they closed, my consciousness fading as I fell asleep.
…
The morning sun woke us up and it was then that I realized that we only had 3 days before the veil would fall.
With the new knowledge of the power of the middle realms I was in sort of a panic. I had thought that we had enough power to at least combat the middle realm but now I wasn't so sure.
Of course the common soldier could easily be killed but there were so many of them that we would be drowned by bodies before we could force a surrender. Even then I was sure that there were many elves and Gauls that had power equaling or even exceeding our own.
The best example of that would be that I had an ascended talent. That meant that there was a realm of power above tier one and it was most likely that they might even have an ascended which could obliterate us.
Thinking of this led me back to my talent. If I could frantically evolve everything in the territory we might actually have a chance. Just looking at Delta, if I evolved her we might even have a tier one that could defend us along with whatever technological advancement that she made in the process of evolving.
I didn't know for sure but seeing as evolutions catered for the individual Delta was most likely going to be evolved in a way that enhanced the technology inherent to her being.
…
It was with those thoughts that I found myself outside. The sounds of battle echoed in my ear as I watched Tama train her subordinates.
The way that they utilized their aether to create flames, illusions, and turn themselves invisible being engraved into my mind slowly as I watched on and on.
"Enough!" Tama yelled out and her subordinates fell to the ground, turning into cute foxes drenched in sweat, exhausted.
Looking at Tama I gesture for her to come over.
Walking over to me Tama sits next to the stump I was sitting on and before I could say anything she starts talking.
"My Lord, I believe that you should evolve them" Tama paused for a second gesturing at the Kitsunes all laid out sleeping, "It would bolster our fighting forces to a great degree."
"I can do that but before I want to evolve you again, seeing the forces of the middle realm, it seems that we are lacking in power"
"That sounds fine my Lord"
Tama current status -
[Species: Kitsune]
[Name: Tama]
[Tier/Level: 3/5(Can be evolved)]
[Skills: Solid Illusions*, Denial of Reality*]
[Solid Illusions: Tama has transcended normal Illusions allowing her to form tangible illusions that can do real damage.]
[Denial of Reality: Through tricking the world Tama can convince the world through illusions that her target never existed, erasing said target from existence.]
With Tama's agreement given I pull up her status before evolving her.
A green flash of light quickly fades out before again a small screen appears in my view signifying the start of Tama's evolution.
