The Functions of the Speed-up Evolution

"*Sigh* Oh boy, this will be a long talk. Oh well... At least I'm finally free." Imuthis whispered.

(What did you say?)

"Nothing. Just listen carefully."

(Uhmm... okay.)

"So... Where do I start? Ah, Aight. *Ahem!*"

Clearing his non-existent throat Imuthis started explaining.

"I'll start when I was first awakened in this place.

The good thing about that when I just first awakened I immediately got this order in my head to prevent you from doing any reckless ideas.

It was the time where you we're surrounded by four guards, I help you clear your thoughts so that it helps ease your muscles a little to shoot the four with your gun like you are used to it.

I was quite surprised when you shoot those four accurately in their thighs not killing them for your first time."

(You could control my brain?)

"It's not a mind-control it's more like I can help you clear your thoughts. So don't raise your guard at me. Oy! Stop running away!"

Mike is about to run away as he senses danger but the scene ended in just a short moment.

"Back to the topic. Where was I? Oh right... Let's talk about the scene where you are in underwater with Lucas. I also talked to you back there, because you made me I also have most of your personality. I thought you we're gonna die so I talk to you that might as well save Lucas before your last breath.

I also felt guilty when most of the people in the lifeboat died because of our fault.

So, don't think about me controlling your body... that will never happen."

(... Not gonna lie if you said it with that kind of appearance like hell anyone would believe you.)

"You're truly harsh with your words, aren't you?"

(Aren't you the same?)

"I was made by you, idiot!"

"Anyway, *ahem* You know what happened after that so I'll change the topic."

('Kay.)

"Do you have any idea why you are in this place?"

(Uh...)

"This is place is also made by you."

(Huh?! Seriously?! Me?!)

"Yeah, Lucas did talked about the speed-up evolution but he didn't know most of it. How should I say this that you could understand... This is your evolution."

(???)

"This evolution is more than boosting your body but it changes your body into another level where a normal human cannot lay theirs upon. You already have this evolution when you are fourteen years old, it was kinda late compared to others like Leo, or Carlo."

(Leo and Carlo too!?)

"That's the reason y'all kidnapped in the first place. Not only them but all of you, well, I don't know about Ray tho. So, Lucas already did say this but I'll remind it to you again, the source of this phenomenon is... directly below us... The reason for the tentacle pulling you is still unclear to me so I don't have the answer in that aspect.

You can clearly feel that your evolution is speeding up every time you go deep.

Your swimming skills, your brain process speed, your immunity, your strength, your endurance, everything that you feel the power surging to your body is evolution."

(... That's a like a cheat power up from the video games...)

"I know right? Look how ridiculous the evolution that it created me. Well, most of the reason I was created because of your reason."

(My reason? I didn't even know that I created something like this. If I did, I should create a more pleasant character than you are.)

"Hoy! Don't regret it now! Even with your power, you can't create some stuff here accurately. I don't know why I'm made to be Imuthis I don't have that person's memories! yet I have his head appearance!"

(You're right, you are indeed ugly and scary.)

"*sigh* Alright, we are off the topic. Ahem, I already told you what's the evolution but that's only the basics of it.

When I was first awakened I already got this information in my head.

Evolution... like the word itself when all of the living creatures tried to survive in a harsh environment they will evolve to cover that weakness.

Snakes evolve to have venom.

Honeybadgers evolve to immune to venom.

Monkey evolve to climb.

Dolphins evolve to half-sleep state.

Human evolves to use tools.

That's evolution but the process takes millions of years.

But the power of this mysterious speed-up evolution ignores the time.

You and the people that got kidnapped except the adults are in a state of evolving.

The evolution that changes you at a super-fast pace is happening to your body right now...

....

..

The reason you can go this garbage void site because your body is drastically changing right now. You might change into a monster or stay on being human as you evolve, you might change into something powerful or change into a weak creature, no one could know... and that's the mystery of the speed-up evolution.

The evolution will be base on the environment and the speed of evolution will be faster as you get near the source, no one could predict what will happen everyone's body."

(Amazing... A-a... I'm speechless with such power inside of me....)

"Well you do and you will get stronger as you go deep so good news, there is a chance that you might survive. This might be the reason why you created me because you're hungry for knowledge."

(Woah... So it means... Aren't I a talent special person!?)

"HAHAHAHA! Don't get carried away yet, I saw Leo's evolution and he's ten times more amazing than you, He has the rawest potential than everyone in the ship you know?"

(You're kidding... and here I thought I was amazing myself...) dropping his knees to the ground he lost his will. After hearing that evolution that he has and immediately tell you that there is someone better than you, isn't that harsh?

Imuthis stares at Mike's back as he grins in excitement thinking; (Well, you are not bad yourself... To be able to survive in the deep waters even it's your first time in the ocean without knowledge and experience, you have great potential too but since it's fun I'm not tell you yet...)

As he stares at him his smile change into a serious one;

(... Back then when you are still not qualified to access me you forcefully open the chest that you could not normally open with just strength alone... Your mind is much mature than anyone in your age yet sometimes you act like a child.)

He only gives a thought not talking to Mike who is still can't accept that there is someone who is better than him.

The two talk to each other as they don't have much to do until Mike wakes up looking at himself surprise to his change of body.

"WHAT!? HAAAA!?!?"

***********************

Back then when Imuthis's chest was first time open.

He talks to Mike with a disappointing tone but he actually was terrified when Mike managed to open the chest even he's still not qualified.

As the chest is about to close, Imuthis whispers "This is not something I signed up to..." unconsciously blurting out his thought.
