Chapter 46: Evolution II
Evolution is an act of heavenly defiance. It is not so simply achieved; it does not happen overnight nor does it happen without a warning. It is a hard-fought process that can only be achieved by reaching one's limits.
The chance to evolve only appears when the Life Essence, and level of a daemon reaches its highest rate. When it reaches that single point, the daemons will grow stronger and if met with some special occurrences, their path to evolution is going to be different than most.
However, what if heavens itself is beside that one daemon, telling it to evolve and reach their level. What if that was the case? Its fate is going to be at the top, and Lilith now sat in front of her current dwelling with her eyes closed.
She was mediating, and every single one of the LVL 40 Ogres, and Pixies of the village gathered to meditate under the moon with the Priestess.
The Ogres who has full fate with their Priestess meditated like it was normal. The Pixies however were still skeptical, because unlike the Ogres, they had yet to see the mystical power of evolution the Priestess supposedly has.
But the proof is Killa so they believed that what she is saying is true; or so they wish to believe that it is true. The Pixies are currently having blind fate on Lilith.
Lilith had her eyes closed and seemingly at peace without anything capable of disturbing her meditation. But not everything is as it seems.
'Alpha, have you completed the tracing of
===
[Yeah, I got it…pick your poison, I'll be modifying your body to match it.]
===
'Are you sure this is the strongest forms I can handle?'
[The ones in your matrix right now is one of the strongest daemons, and their bloodline is thick and strong so don't worry about it.]
—Two Horns—
Tri Horns
Tri Horn Apostle
Nature's Master
Elemental
Spirit Lord
—Thunder Clap Leopard—
Heavenly Lightning Treader
Tribulation Leopard
Demonic King Leopard
—Nightmare Salamander—
Cursed Purgatory Dragon
Lilith was ready to compliment Alpha for her work, but, something caught her attention.
'Cursed, really? You can't find anything that is now cursed? Didn't I tried to avoid the Cursed Ancient Dragon of the past? How come there's something like this appearing out of nowhere?'
[Hey, that's not my fault. The Nightmare Dragonkin and the Cursed Ancient Dragonkin is the descendants of this one, so, in all truthfulness, this is what you'll get no matter what form you picked.]
Lilith sighed, she couldn't believe that Alpha was doing her like this, it was undesirable to have shit like this happen to her, but she can only accept it after cursing fate and herself for a quite some time.
She's getting more aggravated the more she retained her meditation pose. It was kind of ironic. But when Lilith looked at it in other angles, the Cursed form may just hold a power that may prove fatal in the future, so, why not?
'It will turn my attributes from Poison to [Heaven's Bane], and my Dark Attribute to [Night Ruler] so, why not? And it's not like I have a choice anyway.'
With these thoughts emerging one after the other, it began her pursuit of the strongest evolutionary form she can find.
Starting with the Two Horns, where a lot of choices were presented, a lot of good perks showed. From the Elemental that promised to let her reach S-tier in elements, to Spirit Lord who will let her become a Spirit Emperor in the future.
All of these are good, but they have their drawbacks.
First, the Elemental are useless because S-tier is basically useless if she can evolve her elements. And Spirits is not what she wish to rule, Spirits are just considered as pseudo-daemon, a daemon will not follow a Spirit, an advisor maybe, but not an Empress.
So, she picked the Ogre Variant Tri Horn Apostle. The Tri Horn Apostle was a variant of Tri Horn which is also a variant for the Ogre race. She picked the most confusing of evolution tree and she was satisfied with it.
And as for the perks of choosing Tri Horn Apostle, her elements would undergo a massive change as they will also evolve. She is still unsure what they will turn into, but, she is sure that they will come out stronger than before. Also, the MAG stat will have +200 and some more other perks.
'This is the first time I am actually have a cheat.'
Lilith has a cheat on evolution, yes, but it is too much of a miser and doesn't let her evolve to the strongest and doesn't even make her stronger than her followers. The attributes of her followers are amazingly overpowered.
Sylva can control space, she can teleport around, her wind manipulation is top-notched and Dhampy's manipulation of the dead is something else as well. If those two tried, they can do almost anything.
Lilith could only sigh.
As for the Thunder Clap Leopard, she chose Tribulation Leopard for simple reasons of its Water and Lightning attributes gaining a new form. Lilith looked at her evolutions and thought one thing…
'Everything is changing, an evolution to all, hehehe.'
With Lilith finishing her pick of evolution, Lilith finally opened the path to a higher state of being.
[Two Horns –> Tri Horn Apostle, Thunder Clap Leopard –> Tribulation Leopard, Nightmare Dragonking –> Cursed Purgatory Dragon…initializing, confirmed…evolution shall now commence…you have three vouchers for quick evolution from the Goddess, do you want to use it? Use it, else it will turn useless.]
'Yes, use it.'
Thus, began her transformation. Lilith's body glowed a mysterious glow of blue to orange, and as Lilith's body is wrapped in these colors, those who had been meditating was astounded.
"It is starting!"
"What? The Priestess is Evolving?"
Many couldn't believe what they were seeing. Right in front of them was the miracle of the world. And as Lilith's body began to change, as the horns became three instead of two, as the yellow fur changed to azure, and as the Black Dragon stayed as the Black Dragon, Lilith's form changed quickly.
And as the light dissipated and Lilith appeared in front of everyone, she was no longer who she was before. As she slowly stood up, starting from the Tri Horn Apostle everything about her had changed and that sight had the jaws of many turn slack.
"Heh, this is quite good. Now, it is you guys' turn. But first, I will give you your names, any problem with that?"
"None, Priestess."
Everyone was drawn to Lilith and as she finished naming them and finished the process of evolution, the time was still only midnight.
And as midnight struck, Lilith stepped out of the village, their destination, the Section 5.
"It is time to hunt some humans."
An army of epic-tier daemons moved.
