(The Next Day)
"So this is an evolution center."
Corey spoke in a low voice as he looked at a fully golden building that had a unique aesthetic design.
The building was high, but not too high, it was wide, but not too wide.
Corey didn't know how to explain the structure of the building, the building just seemed perfect and definitely out of this world.
As Corey was looking at the building which was the evolution center, he noticed something familiar at the top of the entrance to the building.
At the top of the entrance was a design of a black face with six pairs of eyes but had no mouth, nose and even ears.
'Wasn't that the face that appeared just before the apocalypse started?'
'I think the Universal System called it the All-Father?'
'And the All-Father is the Ancestor of The Supremes and is also on the same level as the Ancestor of Paragons.'
Corey thought with slightly furrowed brows and a few seconds later, he dismissed his thoughts and decided to focus on the most important thing, reaching tier 1 and getting stronger.
He walked towards the evolution center, and just as he was walking towards the evolution center, he saw a man in an armor that covered every part of his body including his head, sit in front of the entrance of the evolution center.
Knowing from Divine that the man was the guardian of the evolution center in the Outer Area and was also higher than tier 2, Corey ignored him and walked to the entrance of the evolution center.
As soon as he got close to the door, the door split open from the center and opened to opposite directions.
Corey glanced at the doors for a second before he walked inside with a calm expression.
As soon as he entered, the doors closed and the guardian looked at the closed doors for a few seconds before he retracted his gaze.
Meanwhile Corey as soon as he entered, looked around and just as he was looking around, various translucent screens popped in front of him.
[YOU ARE INSIDE AN EVOLUTION CENTER]
[CHECKING LEVEL]
[LEVEL IS SUFFICIENT FOR AN EVOLUTION]
[CHECKING RECORDS OF PLAYER, COREY ZANE TO DETERMINE SUITABLE CLASSES FOR A TIER UP]
[PLEASE WAIT]
[…]
Corey read the notifications and as he read them, he spoke softly.
"The old man told me this would happen, and…"
Corey paused then he looked around, and a few seconds after he did, he noticed the only object that was in the evolution center.
A large stony circular object that was on a metal tripod.
"A portal."
Corey seeing the object muttered.
"The old man said that after the Universal System has finished checking my records, which is simply the things I've done in the past, my physique, talent and so many other things, the portal in the evolution center would be turned on."
Corey muttered once again and then he looked at the portal.
"The old man also said it would be better for me if I bring out the blood of the Ancestor of Paragons before the Universal System finish checking my records."
Corey muttered once again, then he spread out his right hand and in the next second, the vial containing the Ancestor of Paragons blood appeared in his right palm.
Corey looked at the dark red grayish blood with intrigue and just as he was looking at it, something which he did not expect, happened.
Crack
A crack resounded loudly in the quiet space of the evolution center causing Corey's expression to change slightly.
With a confused expression, he looked at the vial which now had a crack and just as he was looking at it, another crack appeared on the vial, resounding in the quiet space of the evolution center.
Crack
Crack
Numerous cracks appeared on the vial and with a cautious and wary expression, Corey took some steps back and brought out the dual battle axes.
As for the reason why he didn't bring out the ancient spear even when he was in the evolution center which could be considered 'safe', was because Corey did not want to take any chances.
If there was a slight chance, a slight possibility that somebody from the Underworld could see his actions in the evolution center, then he would definitely not want to arouse dangerous interests and suspicions from the top people of the Underworld.
As for why he was not really worried about bringing out the blood in the Evolution Center?
It was because the old man, a tier 8 Paragon told him that bringing out the blood in the Evolution Center was absolutely safe.
So with his desire for more power, Corey decided to trust the old man since the old man had actually saved and helped him more than once.
A few seconds passed and in the next instant, the vial that was containing the drop of blood broke into pieces.
With furrowed brows, Corey looked at the drop of blood which was floating in the air and just when Corey was wondering what was going on, the dark red greyish blood began to spin.
At first, it was spinning slowly then after around five seconds passed, the blood started spinning at a speed that Corey could not follow anymore.
A few seconds passed and just as the blood starting spinning, something which Corey had never seen before in his entire life, happened right in front of him.
Around the spinning blood, the very air or to be more exact, the space around the blood started tearing apart.
More seconds passed and much to Corey's shock and intrigue, he looked at the torn space in front of him.
The blood which was previously spinning had vanished leaving behind this torn irregular space.
It looked like somebody cut a hole in a shirt, but this time, instead of a shirt, it was space, or at least he believed it was space, though he didn't know why.
Not bothering about the reason why he guessed that the blood tore apart space, Corey wondered if he should step into this torn space which just led into nothing but darkness from what he could see.
Sigh
Corey released a sigh and with a determined expression, he muttered.
"Mom, Dad, Anna… Grant me the strength not to fail."
And with those words spoken, Corey entered the torn space which was already closing itself.
