Chapter 1010: First One, Then Two
The black glass all around the desert was glowing with light, with the luster of gold.
The members of Team Zenith spread their arms out and found themselves brimming with energy. Despite having maxed out their disaster gene fragments, they could feel that their cells were being nourished by some unknown energy, that their own status of life was increasing bit by bit.
Sun Mengmeng murmured to herself, "Is this the benefit of evolution that our captain was talking about?"
The members of Team Zenith raised their heads toward the sky as they watched the glowing dragon egg.
The draconian world was about to evolve into a superior world, and they had to stand guard to prevent any accidents from occurring.
In the scaleman world, the king who was once the ninth prince stood poised on stage. "The time that my master spoke of has come."
A dais had been built on the scaleman world, like the site of a gigantic altar. The kings and leaders of the nearby worlds had gathered around the altar, each bearing their world\'s proof of kingship.
Within the capital had gathered large numbers of scalemen and aliens from other worlds, all here to witness the evolution of the world.
One of the kings called out, "Your Majesty, it\'s time to begin."
The king of the scaleman world raised the proof of kingship he held high into the sky. A shining beam of light struck it, enveloping the entire world like the sun. The proof of kingship glowed with rainbow light; the proofs of kingship that the other kings of the realm held floated into the air.
The aliens all looked toward the sky as dozens of worlds appeared by the horizon, linking up with each other.
A pillar of rainbow light descended and covered up the king of the scaleman world. All the proofs of kingship transformed into orbs of light and rushed into the scaleman world\'s proof of kingship. The king howled as blinding light emanated from his body.
The will of the world was starting to merge with the other worlds, devouring their will and their power.
As more and more proofs of kingship merged, the king\'s strength grew rapidly.
The world\'s energy encapsulated the king, layer by layer, forming a gigantic egg. Composed of radiant light, it gave off a piercing light brighter than even the sun.
Runes danced over their vision as the world transformed. World after world merged into the scaleman world, forming a sympathetic link as light strobed in the sky.
The evolution of the world into a superior one would result in immense benefits to all the inhabitants of the world. Their talent and status of life would grow by leaps and bounds.
The aliens were growing stronger at a rate visible to the naked eye.
All manner of life benefited, even plants and herbs.
This was partially why the other worlds had been willing to join in the merger of the worlds. Their worlds had been invaded by the black spirits, and their worlds\' vitality had been taken from them. Nothing would grow; there would be nothing for them to eat.
For survival, they had entered into this pact with the scaleman world, willing to give up even their lands. Even so, their worlds\' drained vitality meant that they wouldn\'t be able to receive a significant boon from the evolution; they would be part of a superior world in name, though their environs might not differ much from a peak large world. It was even possible that their worlds didn\'t possess enough world\'s energy to allow for the evolution into a superior world.
The inclusion of the world\'s energy from the scaleman world, however, was enough to push things over the brink.
The aliens within and without the scaleman capital could all feel the burgeoning energy in the air.
The giant egg, composed of radiant light, gave off a piercing light brighter than even the sun.
Runes danced over their vision as the world transformed. World after world merged into the scaleman world, forming a sympathetic link as light strobed in the sky.

The aliens were growing stronger at a rate visible to the naked eye.
All manner of life benefited, even plants and herbs. They were shining with luster, glowing with radiance, across the mountains and the wilderness.
Ordinary spiritual herbs grew rare and potent. Some that would have to be cultivated for hundreds of years to reach maturity were maturing right then and there, developing hundreds of years within seconds.
All over the world, genetic lifeforms howled in excitement. Genetic lifeforms had gained the most from the world\'s evolution.
The hunting grounds that the king of the scaleman world had set up, accelerated in time by the world\'s energy that had been gathered there, drew in much of the rainbow energy of evolution.
Regular lifeforms were evolving into mutated-grade, mutated-grade into superior-grade, superior-grade into peak-grade, and some peak-grade lifeforms were even evolving into disaster-grade.
Only a few lifeforms managed the disaster-grade evolution, while others grew beyond peak-grade but without crossing the threshold. It was no problem for a superior world to harbor multiple disaster-grade lifeforms.
The kings of the realm who had entered into this pact looked at themselves in shocked surprise as they felt their magnified strength.
Their worlds linked together, forming the last step in the evolution.
He who had once been the crown prince, who now commanded the troops garrisoned in the city, ready to come to the defense of the scaleman king, gazed at the shining egg in the sky with a complicated look: three parts touched, three parts proud, one part resentful, one part envious, and two parts gratified. "Father, are you witnessing what\'s happening?"
His ninth brother had been recognized by all the nearby worlds and crowned king of them all. He had merged all those worlds and evolved the scaleman world into a superior world...
