Amelia was sitting alone inside her office with a grim expression.
She was angry, irritated and didn't know what to think.
The reason for that was that the hundreds of horns she collected were taken away by the higher-ups and she couldn't do anything against it.
She didn't see that coming...
She put weak people who she held in her palms in charge while she researched on the Paradise Virus when she took over the Volari Company after killing her father. But these supposed weak higher ups turned suddenly from worms into fierce tiger to bite her. All of them followed Professor Krychowiak's suggestion and turned into what they called an Omega Human.
They began to band together against her, growing stronger and spreading their influence through the organization.
She still held the majority of power and shares but they weren't weak and snatched her private stash of crystal horns under the pretend of "strengthening" the overall power of the Volari Company!
She had no good reason to refute them. She wanted to use the horns to complete her evolution...
'Something is wrong...' Thought Amelia, getting angrier every second.
She calmed slowly down, her eyes becoming frosty.
'I can play the game too!'
She had an idea, Gianluca would return today with a secret batch of horns. They should be enough to complete her evolution but she didn't trust the higher ups anymore.
'I need an ally, a strong one that can stop anyone from interfering with my coming evolution...' Amelia thought about it, Gianluca was strong and finished his evolution but...
'He is bound to the rules of our organisation...' The higher ups could barge in and take everything away again using the same excuse...
Only one person came to her mind but...'Would he help me?' Asked Amelia herself.
She sighed, looking determined as she entered the Pillar Space.
Benji in Wuppertal who was ready to have an exciting fight froze suddenly.
[Amelia is calling us, it feels urgent...] Said Adam.
Benji cursed, 'I don't have time for her, I'm about to have some fun!'
[I will talk to her while you fight them.]
'You can do that?' Asked Benji unsure if it was possible.
[It should be possible...]
Benji's dim left eye closed slowly and he felt like a part of him that was always there was missing.
'Adam?'
There came no reply and Benji scratches his head.
'He's gone.'
His focus turned back to Major Ernst and his goons.
Benji pushed the matter to the back of his mind, facing the enemy in front of him with a nasty smile.
Meanwhile inside the Pillar Space Adam opened his left eye.
["Why are you calling me Lilith?"] Asked Adam.
Lilith took a deep breath, creating an illusion of herself on the First Pillar.
Adam didn't feel any bad intention coming from the illusion, leaving it intact.
"Solomon, don't dispel the illusion please. This way the others won't be able to hear what we are talking." Spoke Lilith quickly.
Adam nodded, waiting for her to continue.
She was delighted that Adam let her speak, "I need your help with my evolution, can you protect me?"
Adam was stunned by her request.
["Why should I? What do I gain from it?"] Answered Adam with two questions.
Lilith was already prepared for it, "I offer you information. You should be having troubles keeping an eye on your territory right? I can offer you assistance from my drones."
Adam frowned, what she said was right. He had trouble spreading his puppets through all Germany and Austria. He had only roughly 20% of the lands under his eyes...
Her offer was good but he only needed time to enslave more puppets and let them spread through their territory.
["Your offer is good but not enough for me to make a personal trip to act as your personal bodyguard."] Answered Adam after some time.
Lilith's heart sank when she heard his answer.
"What else do you want?"
Adam had a playful smile on his face, [This chick is really desperate haha]
["Hmmm, how about you own me a favor?"] Suggested Adam suddenly.
"What kind of favor?" Asked Lilith carefully.
["Hahaha, I don't know yet. I will let you know in the future."] Spoke Adam with his playful smile growing larger.
Lilith observed Solomon in front of her, there was something different about him...
She noticed that only his left eye was open and the right eye was closed but she only guessed that he was probably doing other stuff outside...
"Fine! One favor and don't ask for the impossible." Said Lilith after thinking about it.
["Deal! Tell me where you are and I will come."] Adam was in a good mood, he really didn't know what kind of favor he wanted to make but having the best-connected person in the world owning them a favor was a good thing.
Lilith began to tell him the details...
Some of the other Pillars opened their eyes but closed them after realizing that there was nothing important going on.
Only the Doc frowned for a second before closing his eyes...
Back in Wuppertal...
Major Ernst slammed both palms on the street, many roots shoot out from his arms, penetrating the ground!
"Everyone attack him at the same time! Distract him!" Ordered the Major.
The soldiers didn't hesitate after hearing his order. They rushed towards Benji like they were on drugs.
Benji grew annoyed, he didn't want to bother himself with the weaker soldiers.
He stomped hard on the street, causing the whole area to tremble.
"Don't get in my why, have a nice time flying!" Said Benji as Grey Force Fields appeared on the sky, locking only into the soldiers.
The soldiers were flung up into the sky without being able to resist.
It scared the sh*t out of them when they suddenly were pulled up into the sky without fally back.
They could only helplessly drift through the air without control...
Major Ernst was shocked when he saw how easy Benji got rid of the people he carefully groomed!
He gritted his teeth in anger, urging more roots to penetrate the ground.
Benji jumped up when his instincts warned him.
Thick roots blasted through the street a second after he jumped up.
They grew fast, aiming to entrangle him like snakes.
Benji flew higher, thus avoiding the roots.
Major Ernst was dumbfounded, 'He can also fly? The heck?'
He lifted his palms from the ground, staring up at the floating Benji in the air like a venomous snake.
More and more roots came out of his body, entering the ground.
He was lifted up into the air by the growing roots until he reached the same height as Benji.
Benji only smiled at him, his force was already rampaging through his body, ready to erupt!
"Boy, you have no idea what you got yourself into!" Spat Major Ernst out.
Small earthquakes appeared in Wuppertal and everywhere around Benji shot all kinds of trees and flowers out of the ground.
Benji was impressed by the display of might from Major Ernst.
The huge trees took the form of over 20 meters tall golems while the flowers revealed sharp fangs and acid-filled bags!
He looked like a speck of dust in comparison to the army around him.
The people were running away, buildings were getting destroyed but the Major didn't give an sh*t!
Benji looked around, smiling back at the Major, what he didn't notice is that his left eye had opened a minute ago...
[Wow! I take him!]
'Huh?'
A blinding red light erupted from his left eye as it came to life...
