Achilles was able to clearly read the reason why Rose's face turned red, and he laughed lightly as he did not go under the white dress shirt but over it, as there was a layer of clothing between his vines and her shirt.
The vine fabric spread past her shoulders and covered her chest entirely before it passed her midpoint and entirely covered her lower body, too.
And after that…this whole body suit of vines turned purple as it developed crystalline properties!
Rose's whole body looked like it became adorned in a sleek purple body suit that protected her entirely.
Achilles looked at his work as he nodded.
In here, there were the qualities of Vine Generation II, Crystal Manipulation II, Dermal Armor II, Flexibility II, Energy Conversion II, Regeneration II, Abnormal Endurance II, and Exoskeletal Armor!
"Your Natural Evolutius Suit…"
Rose blinked at his naming sense before she sighed with a smile.
"Yes, yes. My own Natural Evolutius Suit, thank you, Little Fatty. You don't need one?"
Did he not need something similar?
He smiled and shook his head at this as his skin already had those all those qualities…as well as the layers of thick muscles, vessels, and bones!
Every single part of him already had the terrifying qualities of the things he assimilated as it was the reason why he could do all the things he did.
Seeing his confident expression, Rose nodded as the two of them were ready.
Major David stared at the suit around Rose with shining eyes as he wasn't so shameless as to ask one for himself.
But if he was able to cover Eloise as well…
He looked at the girl he was training as he shook his head, the shaking around them becoming intense.
He didn't know just how many hundreds of Evolutius Beasts had gathered down below, but the Evolutius Energy Factor must have reached a critical amount as, at this moment, waves of purple light began to surge upwards.
Towards the ceiling of the Evolutius Catacombs right above them!
They watched this phenomenon with rapt attention as in the next second, the purple crystalline barrier that Achilles enacted began to open up above them.
The Crystal Vine Tower was raised at the very center of cavernous space as the point above was the one accumulating dense waves of purple light, this whole area becoming distorted as cracks began to spread around it!
Achilles looked at this with careful eyes as intuitively, he could sense the purple waves of energy gathering above.
What Major David knew to be the level of Evolutius Energy Factor.
But it felt far too familiar as if it were along the same lines as the purple seas of energy coursing throughout his body at this moment!
"It might take a minute or two as it gathers energy, be ready…."
Major David was tense as in his hands, a device was already in place to make a distress call.
Achilles only heard his voice in passing as he wanted to confirm something.
He tapped into the top of the Crystal Vine Tower that he just opened as he allowed a small portion of the dense purple waves of seas inside of him to leak out into the atmosphere.
The waves of purple light in the surroundings acted like they were supercharged, sparks flying as in the next moment….
The ceiling above them began to break.
Achilles hid his surprise as his heart beat loudly, thinking about the implications of this that were utterly wild!
If he was capable of aiding in the progression of a Leyline Fracture, could he also initiate one himself?
Not that he wanted to, but just a thought!
And if he could have the capability to call as many Evolutius Beasts to surge towards him, would this not make the task of assimilation incredibly easy?!
The Devil Crystal that Amos shattered.
He simply needed to get his hands on something like that.
This situation held a level of danger that he was mitigating, but there was still abundant opportunity to assimilate from it.
He looked down below as the ceiling above was cracking.
There were many Evolutius Beasts down there.
Many would have to rush through here to get out of the Evolutius Catacombs!
If he could take some down before they came to the surface above and assimilated their bodies and Evolutius Crystals even without anyone or cameras picking anything up…
His eyes flashed with purple brilliance.
As for how he could do this?
The Crystal Vine Tower…felt like an extension of his indestructible limbs that even the Evolutius Beasts could not break.
When all the vines that made it were unfolded and used to attack with bolts of lightning, poison, and sharp crystals…
It was a possibility that caused Achilles to look forward to as his heart felt a great need!
A need to assimilate as much as possible.
Amos was the first example.
And what Major David had said was another.
He said after all these years of peace, there had been undercurrents.
More powerful Evolutius Beasts rising, more Leyline Fractures, and the nail in the head were the so called words uttered by the First Transcendent Advanced Human.
If anything about them was true, those who were weak…would not have control of their lives at all.
He looked towards Rose.
He knew in his heart that even if she did not know it, this woman entirely had his heart in her palm.
She may not truly know how much she meant to him.
She may never know the extent of what he would do for her!
It scared him sometimes just how much his being was entrenched based on her as he really could not help it. When he had nothing to live for, she was there to make him feel alive.
He wanted to see her for the years to come. He wanted her to be safe and to be able to smile.
Against the threats of Advanced Humans and against the threats of Evolutius Beasts, and whatever else was coming from what the words of the First Transcendent Advanced Human stated.
To be able to protect her and make sure he was also alive to enjoy his time with her, he realized he would have to assimilate every single thing that he was able to and become powerful enough to the point that nobody could threaten Rose.
The ceiling above cracked.
His eyes shone decisively as he was ready!
Instantly, they felt a shocking suction force as if gravity was inverted, their bodies and the bodies of Evolutius Beasts down below starting to rise from this Cavernous Space and flowing upwards.
The four of them…were the first ones to fly upwards from this suction force as around them, they saw torn purple earth that led up a massive hole.
At the end of this hole was an expansive sky covered by a distant barrier of the Colony City of Neon.
It was the start of a Leyline Fracture.
And Achilles and Rose were literally at the center of it, their bodies being the first to surge out!
