Chapter 106 Mass Evolution (1)

"Off!" A stern voice that I almost didn't recognize as Melia echoed throughout the room.

Looking up I could see that Melia was pouting her body poised to leap onto me but stopped by Tama's tail.

I could feel the tension between them as they both glared at each other. However Tama had the upper hand seeing as she had already restrained Melia.

Their battle was over before it had even started.

"HAH!"

Reality proved me wrong with a smirk painting her face Melia snapped her finger. A startled yelp left Tama's mouth as both our eyes opened. The smirk that Melia held on her face widened as I saw Tama get teleported all around the house.

While this was happening I was picked up by Melia and placed in her lap.

A giggle escaped Melia's mouth as she taunted Tama, whose eyes narrowed as she barreled at Melia however before she could even get close she was teleported back.

"You're not going to get here~" Melia sang out a smirk ever present on her face as I was restrained in her lap.

I didn't care about how I was restrained though, instead I was wondering how Melia had done that, despite the low almost nonexistent combat power that Melia had she had managed to best Tama despite her efforts.

Looking at Tama I could see her focusing, a golden sheen of light surrounding her.

My eyes opened as I saw it, an almost invisible sheen of green light was suffusing Tama's form.

'The tree' I thought to myself, it had to be the tree. No wonder Melia had been able to do this, she had control of all the plants in my territory, the tree being one of them.

And with the control that the tree had over the inside of this pocket dimension if she controlled that she could control everything in here. It was like her own personal territory where everything would go her way.

"Enough" I quietly declare, both Tama and Melia stopping to look at me. "What are we going to do about the attackers?" I ask, looking at both of them.

"There is a great probability that our location has been compromised. The Gauls are a sort of hive minded race, it wouldn't surprise me if more were already on their way." Melia analyzes.

"You could start evolving everything around the territory, so far your talent has been underutilized a tad bit, Darwin" Tama respectfully suggests, adding onto Melia's own argument.

"You're right," I mutter, now that I thought of it, I truly have been underutilizing my talent. For what reason I don't know, maybe it was arrogance, maybe it was complacency, whatever it was, it stops now.

Standing up, I break the loose restraint that Melia had over me and walk over to Tama.

Without any input I knew that Tama would be fine with me doing anything to her, her blind loyalty to me was clear. However I was not going to take advantage of that, even if I knew the answer was yes I was going to make sure this was what she wanted.

"Do you want me to evolve you, Tama?" I question, although I knew the answer.

With a nod of her head as her answer I activate my talent.

'Evolve'

With a flash of light Tama was gone, replacing her was a screen showing the plane of evolution she had been sent to.

"Did you do this, Melia?" I question, before the screen was only visible in the corner of my eyes but now It was like a TV, the screen in front of me was both the size and shape of one. Even more, I knew instinctively that Melia could see it. Not just me like it had been the previous times.

A smile on her lips and a nod of her head were my answers.

I just frown, wondering just how much control over the territory Melia had.

…

Again I would evolve, the now familiar darkness overtook me. When I opened my eyes it wasn't to the desert that I would have expected but it was to something more fantastical.

Instead of the dry and arid desert land that I had grown accustomed to during my evolutions, I now saw a vibrant world filled with life.

There were no dry spots on the planet that I could see. It was a world filled with forests, plains, oceans, everything except dead land.

However I wasn't allowed to look at it for long as before I knew it I was being pulled down to the world. A heavy pressure descended on me as I got closer and closer.

Eventually, my feet felt land and the pressure covering my being was heavy enough that my knees buckled despite the great power that they hid.

With great difficulty I opened my eyes. What I saw stunned me enough to allow the pressure to take me to my knees.

All around me was life, however it wasn't that fact that shocked me to my knees. No it was because I could not feel any of their presences, not while I was focusing on resisting the heavy pressure that was upon me.

Even when I did focus on their presence I could feel the overwhelming strength that flowed through even the weakest of them. From what I felt, the giant bugs that were walking around, climbing the proportionally large trees, were at the very least tier 3 existences, something that was almost impossible to see on the realm that we inhabited.

Looking further I could sense the presence of thousands of these same bugs, though it seemed like they were the lowest on the food chain as before my eyes some large malformed creature walked up to the bug and before it could even act in defense was swallowed up, no resistance given.

'I need to get out of here' I thought to myself, although I doubt that the malformed creature could kill me, it at the very least would be a hard fought battle. There was no doubt that the creature was not the only one of its kind. If I were to engage in battle and be injured I would not even be able to escape the hordes of tier 3 bugs.

In all it was a lose lose situation if I did not flee. Not to even mention that was assuming that I was in peak condition which I was not, the pressure of the world not allowing me to exert most of my strength.

Taking that into account I would not even be able to kill those bugs.
