Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

The two of us stared at each other for a while, but I really wasn't sure what else to say. The ball was in her court right now, but I did offer her my hand.

Victoria took it and then looked at the chest that I was still holding.

"Do you know what that is?" Victoria asked me after she got up, looking at the chest she was holding in one hand.

"No, but I won't say that it hasn't been one of my life's greatest curiosities. You never talk about it, and every time I have noticed, it has been closed. Do you want to talk about what is inside of there? We aren't in a rush right now," I explained, and Victoria looked away with a blush.

"It's just things of yours that you made for me," Victoria said quietly, and my eyes widened.

"Really? Do you think I can see?" I asked, very interested to see what was in here.

"Umm, Maybe do you think we could wait? I don't know if I am ready for you to see what's in there. I am really embarrassed about it...." Victoria said nervously, and I nodded.

My system had just finished collecting over three hundred different types of plants from the seed and growing plants. I was due for a severe Growth Spurt, but I was getting a message that worried me.

[WARNING: Mega Growth about to activate in 00:00:30s]

"Sure, I don't mind waiting, but I think I am actually going to need a minute to myself. Not really sure what's going to happen, so take this," I said, offering the chest that Victoria took.

"Are you going to be okay?!" Victoria asked as a tree grew up beside me and warped a root around me in preparation to throw me.

"Don't worry. I will come right back; I just am going to go through a big change! Sorry, got to go!" I explained but then was sent flying through the roof before Victoria could reply.

I was hurtled straight up in the air, and my body started to glow green. This was much different than the last time, but I wasn't sure what exactly was going to happen.

Then I felt a pulse rip through my body as I reached the peak of my arc, and then my body froze in the air. My arms and legs spread out to the side, and another pulse ripped through my body.

[Mega Growth Activated: Evergrowth Evolution Initiated!]

I screamed out in pain like I had never felt before as the skin of my back was torn open. Something was growing not only from my back but under my skin, tearing me apart.

I was slightly cognizant of the green light that pulsed out of me, but my mind was being consumed by the pain. I wanted to stop it, but something inside of me screamed for me to hold on to my sanity as the pain tried to tear it apart.

Then, everything went quiet, and the pain stopped. I was now gliding down through the air, feeling the wind flowing past my feathered wings.

My body was different now, and normal damage would no longer affect me; my body would repair too fast, but there was something even more remarkable that had happened. Trees were sprouting up all over the city below me.

I could feel the city below me now, and Great Trees were starting to grow up around major areas of the city. There were also other more miniature versions of them popping up to fill the spaces between them.

It was something magical to watch from up here, but I was sure that Victoria was worried about me. I had been worried about me, but the pain that had torn through my body was a distant memory, almost like it had never happened.

I pulled my wings tight to my body and let myself drop through the air. I could have flown down, but I could test that out at another time; the wings weren't going anywhere.

I should have crashed to the ground, but grass rose up and cushioned my landing, lowering me to the ground. I no longer needed to command anything; all life forms in the city were connected to me and now understood what they needed to do.

All the dogs, cats, and foxes in the city had evolved, and now we're helping anyone that needed it to get to the trees. From there, everyone would have access to the special rejuvenation baths.

Those that refused to heed my commands were already being driven to the outside edge of the city. Everything that I had been planning to do had been done all in one fell swoop, and even a barrier was slowly being erected to surround my Central Forest.

This was only the beginning, and now I had a greater understanding of what I was capable of. Still, this was just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.

The extent of my power was only a fraction of what it could grow to be, but that hardly seems conceivable considering the power I wielded now. There was also the reminder that the others would be getting stronger as well.

I couldn't relax just yet, but we were moving in the right direction. The biggest thing about this change has been releasing me from worrying about the people of this city.

Now I knew that everyone was being taken care of, and I could focus on moving forward to protect this world. The next step would be figuring out what kind of defense and warning systems we could get in place.

"Daniel! What happened to you?! You look like an angel now!" Victoria exclaimed as she ran over to me to hug me, then growling, "You stupid jerk!"

"Sorry, I couldn't help it, and now I am strong and can fly! Wanna come for a ride?" I asked with a smile as I hugged her back, my large white-feathered wings also encircling her.
