Chapter 97: Evolution

Jake, after giving a cold command, went to Sophia's house, laying her on her bed. He then asked Nexus, "Why does her body feel hot?"

[Cause she is,] Nexus playfully replied.

Jake paused, absorbing Nexus's words.

[Ahem, I meant, she is undergoing evolution because of her release of the shackles that were binding her core, after she went berserk back there,] Nexus explained.

Jake nodded and then asked, "How much time would it take?"

[It depends on her condition. But...] Nexus paused.

"But what?" Jake inquired.

[You can help her,] Nexus replied.

"How?" Jake asked.

[You have to give her your Origin Core Essence, a small part,] Nexus said.

"My essence, huh? But wouldn't it damage me now?" Jake expressed his concern. "And I don't even have any Holy Dew now," he added.

[That's why I wasn't mentioning it,] Nexus said.

Jake sighed and asked, "Any other way?"
