I Shall Evolve Everything

Chapter 146 Sneaky Sneaky

With a touch to the wall of the house it turned permeable as my hand fell through it, my body following through seconds after. Light hit my body as the morning shine broke through the trees and pierced my eyes.

Behind me I felt Tama's presence but a quick glance behind me showed nothing, it was most likely that Tama was following me invisible, her presence masked by the very realm itself. Though that didn't stop her presence from reaching my mind. It was instinctual, for some reason I knew where she was at all times.

Ignoring Tama, I look to my right where Aoif had commandeered my hand, taking it in her own, a smile playing on her lips. It was infectious, I couldn't help the same smile that appeared on mine as I felt the warmth of Aoif's hand.

To get to the elves camp it would take at least a day of running at full speed, something that I did not want to do at all, not only because of the distance but because of how much time away that would mean. Two whole days that I could be using to evolve things, or to upgrade the buildings around.

My eyes widened as my feet stopped, turning around and quickly walking back to the house.

I placed my hand upon it and instead of trying to enter it I commanded it to evolve.

…

A green light flashed twice, signifying the two evolutions that I had commanded it through.

The tree that had once towered above everything in the vicinity now seemed as if it pierced the very realm.

'Info' I commanded in my head bringing up the information that the system had on the house before me.

[Crowns house]

[Tier/Level: 3/9(can be evolved)]

[A nature aligned territory house that wards off hostiles with its great presence.]

"Hm…" I hum to myself, the description in front of me had not changed from the last time that I had evolved it, even though the presence that it exerted was much more potent than anything that the previous tree had. Even now, the tree exerted this indescribable pressure that I was sure would have killed me if I wasn't the owner of it.

Despite the grand change that had happened to the house I didn't dwell on it nor did I check the inside, instead I turned my back to it, heading in the direction of the research hall.

A warm hand grabbed onto my own following by my side.

…

With a push of my hands the door opened revealing the inside of the research hall and the disciples that were working on their own projects. I barely took notice of them, instead opting to walk past them working my way towards the warehouse to 'borrow' something. Technically it was Delta and Rhea's but Rhea was my own subordinate and I'm sure that Delta wouldn't mind if I took their spaceship for a joyride.

With Aoif at my side we reached the research hall and with a push of the doors they opened to reveal the jet that I wanted to take.

With Aoif still holding to my hand, I walked towards the jet, my hand reaching out to touch it trying to find anything that would allow for me to open it and climb inside.

"Darwin?" I heard behind me, a sneaky presence that I hadn't bothered to notice appeared next to me, whispering into my ear. It wasn't Aoif I noted, feeling her hand holding into mine, equally startled at the presence.

"Yes?" I asked, trying to look as inconspicuous as possible.

"Why are you touching my jet?" I finally turned my head to the side, my eyes reaching her own as she looked questioningly to me.

"Ahem…" I coughed into my fist, trying to buy time for an explanation but nothing came, my mind blanking for any explanation.

Finally I just sighed and told her the truth, that I had come to take the jet to the elves camp and fight them with Aoif.

With a sigh of her own she looked at me like I was stupid, "Do you know how to pilot it without causing time dilation?" Rhea began, "nevermind that do you even know how to pilot it?" Her eyes bore holes into my own, a chastising look on her face.

Sheepishly I smiled, shaking my head, embarrassed.

Next to me a sigh was heard, Aoif shaking her head in amusement, taking joy in the embarrassment that I felt. In the fact that I had been caught borrowing red handed.

"I can take you," Rhea smiled at me, her hand resting on some button on the bottom of the jet.

A hissing sound echoed out as some sort of ladder popped down from the jet allowing for us to climb into it.

"You coming?" Rhea questioned, already halfway into the jet, a mischievous smile on her face as she motioned for us to join her.

…

I looked around, taking note of all the furniture that sat around the cabin of the jet, it all looked so advanced. As if it was hundreds, maybe even thousands of years more advanced than the current standard of technology.

However I was broken out of my reverie at the technology of the ship as Rhea climbed up another ladder, leading to some place.

I followed, my feet silent as I climbed the ladder myself, behind me Aoif had opted to not follow. She sat on a sofa, some sort of harness on her.

I just shrugged and continued to follow Rhea into the next room.

…

I climbed into the cockpit, behind me Darwin was curiously looking at everything, though his eyes stopped on me, those grey orbs staring at the wires tendrils that connected to my arms.

Screens lit up in my vision hundreds of checks being gone through as I adjusted the output so that we would only go upwards of thousands of miles per hour.
