Few minutes later, Silas felt that his body recover to an extent. His body no longer ached as much as before and he also didn't feel the intense soreness he was feeling.
He slowly pushed himself up from the bed and sat down. He doesn't have enough strength to move around but he doesn't have to continuously lie down on the bed.
"That really did a number on me," Silas said as he clenched his fist lightly and loosened it.
[It did. If you hadn't gone through your first evolution metamorphosis, you would be dead by now. Even your Regeneration superpower would had not been able to help you,] The system said, surprising Silas.
"System, nice to hear from you. This is the first time you're talking without me asking a question," Silas said with a smile, bt8he didn't receive any response from the system.
Silas smiled when he saw this. The system has already told him that it won't respond to irrelevant questions, so he wasn't bothered by it's silence.
Since the system raised the issue about his evolution metamorphosis, he decided to ask a question that has been on his mind since he woke up.
"System, if I'm to go through the second evolution metamorphosis, how long would that take?" He asked.
[The duration isn't fixed. It all depends on your body and your genes.]
"I see..." Silas nodded slowly when he heard the system's response.
The reason why he asked is because he intends to go through another evolution metamorphosis, to increase his strength. But he doesn't want it to be as long as it was before.
With the way things are right now, he doesn't have the luxury of spending six months in the evolution capsule.
Two to three weeks is okay. A month or two is also manageable but anything more than that is too much.
Even though this is his thought, he knew that he has to increase his strength as soon as possible. The truth is that he wants to increase it before paying a visit to the Bureau and this is the reason he doesn't want it to take too long.
What Silas intends to do is to crush every single one of them without even giving them a chance to struggle.
He wouldn't want then to actively go into a dangerous situation but it would be best if they have sufficient strength to protect themselves in a difficult situation.
Silas understands that he won't always be there for them and this is the reason why he wants to do this.
"It would be best for them to take the GES but I don't think they can handle the complexity of being a Phenomenal. I also don't want to put them through the pain I went through," Silas said to himself as he continued to think about how to increase his family's strength.
He thought about it and in the end, he didn't know what decision to make.
"It would be best if I discuss it with them first. That way, I would understand how they feel about everything. I shouldn't go ahead and make a decision for them." Silas sighed and smiled.
His mind was still occupied with other things but he knew that there was nothing he could do about any of them as long as he's still weak, and unable to move.
He looked out the window and saw the beautiful night view of Los Angeles, the city of Angels.
He allowed himself a moment to enjoy the view without think of anything.
He was still looking out the window, when his door opened slightly and his date peeked his head inside.
"You're awake, son." He smiled in relief when he saw Silas.
Silas nodded and smiled at his father.
Chris opened the door wide and walked into the room with Kim rushing inside and to Silas' bed.
She hugged him and broke into tears.
"I'm glad you're already. I was really scared."
"It's okay. I'm fine now." Silas smiled as he caressed her back softly.
