The First Generation Part 2

I stare at the crowd of people that lingered around, trying to figure out what to do in the situation that they are in. I do not blame them for taking their time, but just staring at them has been boring to say the least.

"Original one, I hope that my performance was satisfactory for you" a root body that appeared behind me said. The root body had a serpentine-like tail where its leg was and had four wings made out of roots and petals. It had three flowers on its face and had a hole where its mouth should be that held several roots that were constantly rotating.

"You have not failed me Order" I said as I stared at the bowing root body that looked at me with happiness. I had created Order, or to the humans that were in the white room "System", after my awakening to be in charge of the castle and those who were going to live here when I was away. I looked back at the crowd of people, although I was not in the white room with them, I could still see them thanks to the many flowers that hid in the room. "A year has passed since my slumber" I said as I stared at the now darkened sky that showed many eyes looking down onto the world.

As I said before, a year has passed since I began my evolution. I supposed it was to be expected since the evolution I received was on par with evolutions that were close to servants of Gods and Demonic Gods. During the time of my slumber, the system took control and continued the process of creating the castle and increasing the amount of root creatures I had over my control. I was grateful for the system to take control of my body, but it caused me to miss so many important things.

These things include Green becoming a Demon Lord in the Demonic Realm and having control of the old insect hive that belonged to the previous Warriors that we fought. Yellow had entered a slumber that would last about ten years, which was understandable since supposedly she was becoming closer to her final evolution. If I'm honest I regret choosing a flower for my species since both Green and Yellow have amazing evolutionary paths and I don't, but I will make the most of what I have. Elizabeth and Byro are on break since there was a supposedly assassination attempt on several of the students that had potential to become a threat. So they both returned back to their homes. Oh speaking of Byro, Purple has evolved and is taking a two month slumber and also white is still the same species as last time.

"I might pay a visit to Green soon" I said as I walked away and entered the throne room of the castle. The throne room was an open area at the top of the castle that had dirt with flowers, grass, and trees growing on top of it, as to be expected of a castle made out of roots and flowers.

I placed my hand on the armrest of the throne that supplied an infinite amount of mana and stared at the seat of it. I soon turned around and sat onto the flower covered throne. I instantly felt the surge of mana entering my body.

Minutes had passed since I sat on the throne and yet I did not explode. The reason was quite simple, I was using a skill that I could constantly use and that cost tons of mana to use. That skill was [Flower Dimension] and [Root Creature]. The act was quite simple, I would constantly make tears in reality that lead to the Demonic Realm or control the things spare items that the Root creatures brought into this dimension, such as dirt blocks that I made float into the air and had hundreds of flowers bloom on them and had those flowers roots create a eye shape that constantly looked down onto the land of this world.

I did this so those that somehow managed to enter my dimension would realize that they made a grave mistake and leave. If they decided to continue roaming this land, then I could just easily seal and control the mana they had and blast them with the [Decay Beam] from the hundreds of flowers that bloomed on the giant floating eyes.

As for [Root Creatures], using it was quite simple. I would create the same old root creatures constantly and expand the army that I was forming. Was the act of constantly using [Flower Dimension] and [Root Creature] boring, yes. Was it worth it, absolutely since I have both skills maxed out.

Speaking of skills after I evolved I had gained a new title and a couple new skills.

I had leveled up by ten levels after my evolution and the new skills I had gained were quite helpful. heck I was using one right now. I look back at the white room that had several flowers producing a certain pollen.

The people inside the "white" room are not really in white room, but are actually in a room made out of roots. I wouldn't say that it was a big room, maybe able to fit about a hundred people or so. But I used the pollen to affect the person's perception of movement and space. So although the white room they see is big, in actuality the people are just a couple feet away from each other.

"What to do now" I said as I laid back on the throne and stared at the eye filled sky that was constantly moving thanks to me keeping them a float. I tap my finger on the arm rest of the throne for several minutes before thinking about visiting Green and see what he did during my slumber.

Just before I got up, I suddenly felt something tugging at me, wanting me to speak to it. I focused on the feeling and a couple seconds later I felt my consciousness moving somewhere. "Ah, I think I know what this is" I say as my consciousness leaves my root body and heads to what I think is going to happen.

***

In a dark bricky room that had candled skulls and several skeletons hanging in cages, several dark hooded people with several markings running down their cloak could be seen huddling in a circle with several dead bodies laying on top of a bloody circle with several writings and images made out of blood.

Soon a man wearing the same dark cloak as the others and holding a book of some kind that had a sinister look to it soon walked forward. He soon raised both his hands into the air and shouted out, "we are all gathered tonight for the summoning of a mighty demon that will aid us in our grand plan! Those who do not want their souls to be tainted by such an act may leave now, but be warned that once you leave this room, you will no longer be one of us."

After a couple seconds and no one leaving the circle did the man open the sinister looking book. As he opened the book several of the candled skulls blew out. The man turned the page of the sinister book and soon the candles relit into a sinister looking flame, "oh great being that lives in the abyss, we beseech you to aid us in our conquest. We offer the bodies of pure maidens and the souls of those who dare attempt to stop us in our plan to..."

As the man continued talking, the blood circle that stood in front of him soon began to glow and small bits of droplets began to rise into the air. The room that everyone stood in soon began to become chilly and the dead bodies that were hanging inside of the cages soon began to convulse. Their eyes glowed a sinister red and their mouths began to speak in a language that was untranslatable and otherworldly.

The dead bodies that laid in the center of the bloody circle soon began to crack and crumble into one another. As this happened, the man who held the book continued to read even though blood began to come out of his eyes and nose, "the souls of the pure will be yours to taste and the souls of the foul shall be yours to defile! So we offer you these husks as a means to stay in our world and bypass the wary gaze of the Gods that fear your power! For your power is almighty and world covering, so we beseech you to aid us in our conquest!!!"

As the man shouted the last part out the corpses in the center finally stopped collapsing into one another and what stood in the middle was a single body covered in eyes, mouths, fingers, and hairs. The once lifeless eyes soon brightened with a crimson light and the many mouths sucked in a breath of life.

The mouths took a deep, bone chilling breath out and spoke "mortal who has called me, what is it you seek?"

The cloaked people, upon hearing the monstrosity in front of them speak, quickly bowed onto the floor. The only one who was still standing was the man who was holding the book. "Almighty being of the abyss we have summoned you into our world for your mighty power that can help aid us in our goal" the man said as he closed the book and as he did he suddenly coughed up blood.

Seeing this act, the Demon waited until the man recovered before speaking, "what is this goal you have summoned me for?" The man tucked the book into his cloak and said "our goal is to remind the horror of the great Demonic horde that plagued this land a hundred years ago and to remind them that we, the Demonic Cult, still live and thrive."

The Demon stared at the man for a bit before smiling, "your plan sounds like fun, but what do you offer in return for my aid?"

"We offer you a thousand souls of those we have captured and the souls of those that will fall in battle once our pact is made" the man said as he snapped his finger and several hooded people entered the room with several chained up people walking in a line. Some of the lines couldn't enter the room and stayed outside of the room.

The Demon stared at the many chained up men, women, and children that stared at it with fear. The Demon only smiled upon seeing their fear.

"I shall accept your offer" the Demon said as a contract suddenly appeared before the man. The man grabbed the piece of paper that was covered in blood and bits of flesh and read it for thirty or so seconds. Once he was done reading it the man grabbed a dagger from his cloak and cut the skin of his thumb before dropping a small bit of blood onto the paper. "The pact has been made" the man said as the contract soon burned up into a dark red flame.

"Then as agreed my army and I shall be yours to be called" the Demon said as it stared at the man with a sinister smile plastered on its face. The man looked at the Demon confused "what army, my lord?"

The Demon stared at the man for several seconds before a crack in space suddenly began to appear behind it. Seeing the cracking space, several of the hooded figures took a step back and pulled out blades or staffs. The man quickly raised his hands and the hooded figures stood still ready to attack.

Soon the crack shattered and what laid beyond made the man and the hooded figures open their eyes in awe and shock. For what lay beyond was rows and rows of creatures of different shapes and sizes, some as big as a regular man and others as big as mountains overlooking them.

"This army" the Demon said as the sight in the crack suddenly changed into that of a being sitting on a throne, overlooking them.
