As if sensing what Oliver was about to do, several of his pets eagerly watched him, hoping to be the chosen one. His eyes swept over Kitty, Stonewing, and Clacian, but in his heart, the decision was already made. Kitty would be the one to evolve second.
Evolving Stonewing and Clacian would require far more Life Essence, and to fully fuse them, even more points would be necessary. With just over two thousand points of Life Essence on hand, he could barely afford to evolve Kitty and fill her fusion gauge. If he chose either Stonewing or Clacian, he might fall short.
Placing his hand on Kitty’s head, Oliver began channeling his Life Essence into her. Kitty seemed to understand what was happening, excitedly scratching at the ground with her claws. She suppressed her enthusiasm, knowing that if she moved too much, it might disturb the delicate flow of Oliver’s energy transfer.
