V.63 Forgotten III

Lilly and Eve are looking at the crack in space. It is starting to stabilize now the rumbling and shaking have lessened, despite the crack getting larger the space inside Babel is getting stronger.

Lilly and Eve have no idea how the space inside Babel is getting stronger, but they assumed it has something to do with HOC.

Eve looked at the black cocoon if not for Arc being trapped inside the cocoon she would have asked Specter to beam them all up inside the ship. Probably the only one who was excited about this development is Lilly.

On the top floor of Babel, the situation is chaotic.

"Hurry batch four, prepare to transfer all your energy into Babel's core."

"I'm done I'm at my limit" one after another the paladin and priest started to pass out"

"More I can do more"

"If I stand out maybe the one of the bishop can notice me"

"F.u.c.k!! I'm done"

One after another the paladin and priest have started to pass out after transferring all their energy to the core. No one dares to play tricks save their energy. After all the two bishop who was overseeing the operation is the best in sensing energy. So if anyone dares to play tricks in this situation Death would be the best punishment they could receive.

The two bishops overseeing the situation continue to give the order. As well as to make sure there will be no mistake.

"Hurry!! Carry the one who passes out and send someone to carry them into the recovery area"

"Prepare the next group" The Bishop Shouted.

Low-level paladin can be seen carrying priests and giving them a potion to help them recover faster, they have low energy, so they were delegated as workers. Normally they will never do this kind of job they can just ask the slaves to do it for them. But this time around there were no slaves to help them with manual labor and the situation is so severe that even if they don't like it, they have no choice but to swallow it.

And looking at the exhausted high-ranking paladins and priests those low level paladins are happy to do the manual labor.

Gregor looks at the pope with worry in his eyes. The pope is so pale and blood can be seen all over his face. If not for the Bishops replenishing his blood and stamina he would look like a dried corpse now. The pope is starting to recover ever since the Bishops started healing and replenishing his stamina and blood. So he felt better compare to before where he looks like he can die at any moment. Not that he looks better he still looks like he can die anytime, but that was just outward appearance. Inside he is starting to recover after all being a pope means he was the strongest being in HOC. That was the most important qualification to become a Pope.

The good news is that they were able to stabilize the space inside Babel, he just doesn't know how long they will be able to reinforce it. And even if they somehow do it, will they survived the fight between the Forgotten and their mysterious enemy.

"Lilly no more playing around we need to protect Boss while fighting this big one." Eve looks at Lilly with a serious look on her face she knows Lilly has the tendency to play around with her enemies. But they just can't afford any mistake now. They are almost done with gathering all the relics all they need now is a little more time, and they can escape this place.

Lilly nodded. Suddenly lights gather into Lilly's body and Even can see the changes happening in Lilly. In just a few seconds Lilly changes her appearance from 5-7 years old into 12 or something years old.

If Arc sees her now he would be surprised. Eve just looks at Lilly without any emotion on her face, despite having come a long way when she first meets Arc. It's still far from being able to mimic real human emotion.

"Is that your battle form?"

"Battle form? Hmm..." Lilly has a confused look on her face but immediately smiles as she seems to understand what Eve meant.

"Hehe, that's right this is my battle form I grow bigger when I use more power." Lilly nodded her head to Eve with a huge smile on her face who looks very proud of her new look.

In fact, Lilly can still grow bigger if she wants to, but that will use more energy. Lilly has a huge amount of reserved energy, but that doesn't mean it is infinite. Lilly is a lot smarter than she looks she knows that once all her energy is depleted she won't be able to play outside anymore. So she tried to save as much as possible. To her the more energy she has the longer she can play outside.

Of course, Arc can always replenish her energy if needed, but she didn't know that.

Crack, Crack!!

More than half of the forgotten can already be seen. But Lilly and Eve didn't make any move because they didn't know what kind of effect it will do if they started fighting while a space crack is still active.

On the other hand. The forgotten finally able to put its head outside and when it sees Lilly a smile can be seen on its face.

If Arc can see it he will be creeped out by the smile of the forgotten. But Eve and Lilly have no reaction to it.

"This little one, why can I sense a familiar feeling from you? hmmm, but I can't remember why. Looks like my memory is still hazy, I wonder how long have I been asleep? But no matter this is going to be fun." He smiles when he sees Lilly he doesn't know why.

"What is going on?" Arc noticed that some of his blood is being extracted by Diablo he wasn't worried just surprise blood can be seen being extracted from the pores of his skin. It's not enough that it can be a danger to him, but the process fascinates him even more. He doesn't feel any pain or discomfort. In fact, he feels nothing it's like he was just watching some movies that no matter how bad it is inside the movie it will not affect him at all. That is how he feels. And despite having his blood being extracted he doesn't feel any pain or danger form it.

And that confuses him even more. "Can a machine have a heartbeat?" he mumbles to himself

"Lilly get ready"

"Finally I'm tired of waiting" Lilly smiles at Eve.

CRACK!! CRACK!!

After a few minutes, the forgotten was finally able to get out of the crack. And everyone can see the full splendor of the new Forgotten.

Gregor gulps with sweat coming down his face. As soon as the Forgotten manage to get out of the crack. His heartbeat slows down he feels like his body no longer belongs to him. And he wasn't the only one who feels it. Every HOC can feel it.

The Pope looks like a dead man but since the Forgotten manages to come out the space crack the space is starting to mend little by little.

There's barely any breath left on the pope no one knows if he will be able to survive. Especially since none of them can move their body on their own. They all feel like a puppet whose strings are being held firmly powerless to do anything.

The forgotten didn't do anything when it comes out. Nor did Lilly and Eve attack him. They wanted to buy as much time as possible for Arc and the rest to complete their objective.

The Forgotten looks at Lilly he didn't pay any attention to Eve. He looks at Lilly for a sometime seemingly contemplating on something then looks at the black ball of energy which fascinated him a bit.

He looks again at Lilly. "Were you the one who wakes me up?"
