Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

The carnivorous plant-type monster found itself in a ridiculous situation. Its entire body was out in the open. It looked like a shriveled, deflated dick, one without might. Elliot, Freya, and Zerrick were staring at it in the same way it would stare at its meals.

"It comes as a surprise to me that you can even do that."

Zerrick had seen many abilities in his life, but he had not seen one like Elliot's, which allowed its user to conjure up almost everything.

Elliot grinned at him and said, "I can do a lot of other things with my superpower, so don't let yourself be surprised by me later."

"Alright, let's deal with it," Zerrick said as he raised his hand to kill the monster that Elliot had immobilized.

Before he could kill it, Elliot hurriedly flew up to him, stopped him from unleashing his killing move from his hand, and said, "I want to add it to my kill count, so I hope you can let me make the last attack to take it down permanently."

After hearing what Elliot said, Zerrick lowered his hand and looked at him with a slightly bewildered gaze before he said, "You have a weird hobby."

"It's not like I wanted it."

Destiny had forced on him the fate of a kill stealer. Only through making the last hit would he be able to extract the essence of life from his enemies. Otherwise, he wouldn't get it, let alone become stronger.

"Do it."

Zerrick wanted to save his strength, and if possible, he didn't want to make a move himself again and again. He was intent on reserving his power and energy for a potentially adverse situation that might or might not lead to the unsealing of the black calamity. The reason he attacked the plant-type monster lord was that it got on his nerves. It was as simple as that.

Elliot didn't waste a moment before ordering his giant fists to pound it to death. The golden hand holding the carnivorous plant-type monster lord balled into a fist, pressing its finger on its body, mashing it to the point that all the scales on its body shattered. Then, the hand opened and set it free. It dropped down as the figures of many giant hands crashing towards it reflected in its eyes.

Bam!

The sound of fist slamming and a crunchy plant and its sharp teeth shattering and getting crushed to pieces sounded below the sky as the wind spread it outwards, letting it reach everyone's heart.

[Ding! You've wholly and thoroughly plummeted the carnivorous plant-type monster lord to death. You've gained 100,000 units of the essence of life for killing it!]

The system prompt, which carried good news, sounded in Elliot's mind, and a pleasant smile popped up on his face.

The monster's remains fell to the ground with a loud thud, raising dust and whatnot. Elliot, who was flying next to Zerrick, looked down and saw something shiny in its remain. 'Hmm, what is that?' He failed to get a good look at it as a part of its body covered it.

'It looks like I need to pick it up to see what it is.'

Elliot descended from the sky and landed a step away from its corpse. He picked up the shiny stuff. It looked like a pike, but it shone in green and blue color occasionally. He looked at it with a scrutinizing gaze.

[Name: Assassin's Plant Golden Tooth]

[Item Type: Evolution material]

[Rank: 6th level]

[Detail:-

Whoever consumes it will gain A-rank supernatural cells. As a result, they will be able to manifest an A-ranked supernatural ability!]

"What is it?" Freya asked while pointing at the spike in Elliot's hand.

"It's an A-grade evolution material, and anyone who successfully digest it will gain an A-rank ability. Shockingly, we got it from killing a single monster. I remember having to invade a planet and kill several dozens of monster lords there to get a 5th level evolution material. After using that to become a king, I killed many but never got a 6th level evolution material. The one in his hand is a sixth-level plant-type one, an item too scarce. Although only those people who have no supernatural cells and those people who have plant-type and Dark-type supernatural cells can consume it, as far as I remember, it's still valuable enough for one to trade it with high-level civilizations for rights to mine meteorites."

Elliot had heard about the spirit race civilization selling rights to planets and meteorites, both barren and full of resources, in exchange for rare evolution materials. After mining these meteorites, a person may or may not get common or rare materials. It's a gain if a person gets the latter. But a loss if one obtains the former after wasting their efforts and money to mine meteorites. However, certain civilizations require both of them. A person can make a small to considerably massive profit by selling these materials to them.

However, he didn't think too much about it as he didn't have such rare evolution materials.

But now he had gotten his hands on one!

He had opened up a path to becoming a rightful ruler of a meteorite and maybe even a planet and also becoming a universal merchant!

Freya clapped her hand excitedly, saying, "Wow! What a lucky catch!"

Elliot looked at Zerrick and asked, "Do you mind if I keep it?"

Although there was politeness in his tone, his narrowed eyes were icy cold.

Zerrick understood at once what he was thinking. "Even if I do, you won't give it to me without a fight. Correct me If I am wrong." Elliot remained silent, not refuting him. He didn't want to give up on it; that was the truth. Zerrick was strong, and all, but the temptation of the rare evolution material and what it could bring him was so much that Elliot was willing to fight him to keep it. "I will take your silence as agreement to what I said. Since you have no intention of letting others take it, why even ask? Anyway, I am not planning to adopt anyone in my family, so I will never have a need for it. Keep it for yourself. It will just rot with me. I don't want to fight you for something useless to me. So you can have it for yourself.

"However, for the trouble I have gone through to beat some senses into it, I hope you can give it to someone who has the potential to reach the sublime level and not waste it on someone useless."

"Thanks."

"There was no need for that as you got it because you are capable enough."

If he could kill the latter with a swipe of a finger, he might have done it. But Elliot was obviously too strong, and messing with him would only waste his energy and power, which might give the followers of the black calamity a chance to overpower him, leading to a calamatical situation for him. Thus, he didn't dare to have a confrontation with Elliot and remained in a somewhat friendly, mostly neutral partnership with him.

Elliot gave him a nod and added, "I can't say for sure that I will use it like you want me to, but I promise I won't let it go to waste."

"You're too straightforward. Do you not fear that I will retaliate?"

"It's because I know you won't attack me that I am being honest with you."

Zerrick gave up without a fight, so Elliot thanked him and stored the evolution material in his spatial storage device.
