I Shall Evolve Everything

A flame passes over my head as an illusion of a sword passes through me. There would have been no need for me to block the illusion but I needed to. The Kitsune that had cast the illusion was starting to grasp denial of reality, meaning that the sword could deal damage. Only for a second but that was all that was needed.

*CLANG*

A sword created by myself with denial of reality blocked the sword before I threw it to the Kitsune that had cast the illusion, knocking her out.

Their training was going well, although only one of them was able to control illusions to a level that I was satisfied with, others were still progressing well. Some had developed their power over fire while others had mastered their invisibility.

Even with this progress over their skills their overall combat power had grown more than their skills,.before, when I first started to train them they could not even last 10 seconds together against me, but now with more training they were able to last a whole minute.

Seeing as they were still at tier 5 even lasting that long against someone that was two tiers above them was considered good.

Even better was that I could see the illusionary fifth tail that signified that they were on the cusp of tier 4.

"That's enough" I called out.

With a sigh of relief the Kitsunes fell to the ground, transforming into their fox forms and falling asleep immediately. The exhaustion of fighting me getting to them.

I had mostly broken the habitual laziness from them but that was only when I was actively commanding them or I had them do something out of sight, other than that they kept their laziness.

…

I let them rest in their laziness for another hour before I woke them up again to start training. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

There was no rest for them. By the time that Darwin gets back the veil will no longer have much time left standing.

So even if I wanted to give them a break I could not, the enemies that we faced would be nothing against the forces of the middle realm.

…

I was given permission. No matter how dismissive it may have seemed I was given permission to research and create something of my own.

I was so excited, so happy. Ever since I was introduced to the world of technology by Delta it had overwhelmed all of my thoughts, nothing else was in my mind.

Uncovering the secrets of the physical realm was something I never knew that I would love so much but now that I was introduced to it, there was nothing on my mind but that.

Heading back to the research station after getting permission I started brainstorming.

To use the modification that I wanted for the gun the arm would need to be able to withstand immense force.

To do that I first thought of a brace but with not only the limited materials but my limited knowledge I had no way of knowing how to do that.

I tried anyway, there was no progress without failure. Taking the meager supplies that I had on my workbench I got to work.

…

First things first there was no need for whoever was using it to have a hand or even an arm. So what I would want to design was an arm that could withstand the immense force that would come from the pistol recoiling back onto the arm.

It would also need to have something that would stabilize the arm so that the person shooting could shoot accurately.

"OH!" I could do that, however as I was finalizing my thoughts I realized that I had shouted out loud. With an imperceptible blush I mutter "sorry" then get back to work.

What had caused me to shout was that I realized that I could just gauge out the person's eye then replace it with a targeting system and a better eye all at the same time. Sort of like Delta has.

But then I would need to partially gauge some of the brain out and replace it with a chip of some sort that could handle the calculations, even then that would have to be further connected to the spine so that the instructions could bypass the reflexes of the person using it.

…

Before I knew it I had used up all the paper that I had been allocated for blueprints.

With a frown I had to go over to Delta to ask for more blueprint paper.

"Show me" Delta was as succinct as ever but It didn't discourage me, the fact that Delta even trusted in me enough to know that I would have something brought a smile to my face.

With a beaming smile on my face I grab Delta's hand and pull her over to my workstation, showing her the blueprints for the enhancements that I had made to the human body.

"Good, but here the brain would be overloaded, the circuit would not properly take the information"

I blushed in embarrassment, to have a flaw found in my work so soon, it embarrassed me so much.

"Here, here, and here." Delta just kept on pointing out flaws that I had never even considered.

Tears started forming in the corner of my eyes, I had worked so hard but for it to be dismissed so easily hurt.

*Pat* *Pat*

I felt soft hands pat and caress my head. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

"You did good, don't let my criticisms overwhelm you" It was the kindest words that she had said to me.

I looked up into her monotone face, and saw a hint of kindness. I didn't know how I knew but I just knew that she hadn't meant it as an insult to me but for me to learn.

"Come with me" Delta ordered it didn't feel like a solid order, like the commanding ones that were harshly said to those below her but someone of equal standing.

"Your Lord is back, I'll introduce you."
