Evolution to GOD

Chapter 168: Lily’s past

“Shall we go?” Lily asked as her eyes were fixed on me.

I nodded. “Where are we going now?”

“We have to meet Alexandra. She is waiting for you,” Lily replied, and started walking.

My gaze was fixed on her for a second before I started following her and soon I caught up to her.

“How was the meeting?” She looked at me and asked.

“It was good. They were just discussing the matters of Prime Three.”

“Oh,” she replied and stared ahead.

I was expecting her to ask more questions about the meeting, but she did not. To be honest, I had little contact with Lily after I arrived at the facility. We just made fun of each other.

“Why did you come here?” I asked her. This question has bugged me for a long time.

She looked at me, “Of course, there are some reasons for me to come here. You are also one of them,”

I was surprised. Did she come here because of me? But she told me that I was one of the reasons. After arriving in this world, I have observed that women are more open to their feelings; they are not repulsive at the idea of a man having more than one woman. If they truly like a man, they would openly pursue it. 

I shook my head. I am overthinking the matters. She may have other reasons to come here.

“Don’t think too much. To tell you the truth, many things happened in my life. I was once the renowned star of the forces. Where ever I went and created a name for myself. But unfortunately, in one of my missions. I was ambushed, and it affected my powers and resulted in my retirement from the frontline. I was depressed. But after a while, I regained my senses and went back to the facility, and started working as a receptionist. You would think that since I have so much experience on the battlefield. I would have become an instructor. But I didn’t want to. I think you could have seen my parents in the city. I spent some time with them.”

She paused and looked at me, and then continued, “To tell you the truth. I was really happy with my life there in the facility. I didn’t have much of the pressure and I was able to spend some time with my family. But somewhere down in my heart, I wanted to get back on the frontier. Face those vile aliens. And my wish came true. During one of the raids. Forces have found the method to restore my powers. Since they knew my conditions, they contacted me to come back. This is the reason I am here in the facility.”

My brows were raised when I heard her words, but then I asked, “You told me that I was also one of the reasons you came here?” 

She nodded. “Yes, you are also one of the reasons. When I first met you in the facility, you created a long-lasting imprint on me and I wanted to have a deep relationship with you. And when I heard that you would be moving to the facility, I was really happy to see your progress. But somewhere in my heart. I wanted you to live in the facility so that we can spend some more time.”

She sighed. “You are really incredible. To think that you are now in a relationship with one of the demons of the Forces. I was quite shocked, but somehow I also felt admiration towards you. You don’t know, but many men tried to pursue Tanya. But no one succeeded.”

“Anyway, we have arrived.” She looked at me and said.

I was surprised. I turned around to see that we were standing in front of a room.

“Go inside,”

I knocked and stepped into the room and saw that Alexandra was sitting behind the desk. She turned to look at me and a smile formed on her face.

“I was waiting for you,”

I nodded and stepped into the room. Lily followed me and sat beside me.

“How was your experience?”

“Experience?” I asked, but soon I understood that she was asking me about the experience of the meeting.

“Quite good. I didn’t expect that there would be this many people for the Prime Three. But it makes things more interesting. But I have a question,”

Her brows were raised when she heard my words.

“Tell me?”

“I understand that you want people to lead the forces and all those people, especially worked at the frontier. Honestly, I don’t have any experience regarding fighting against those aliens on the battlefield. Why did these people choose me?”

She nodded with understanding. “You have shown remarkable progress in a short period of time. I told you before that these people have taken an interest in you. In the history of the forces, no one has shown this type of growth, and when they got to know that you have the potential to lead the forces in the future. They made special consideration for you. And today’s meeting was specially arranged for you.”

I nodded when I heard her words.

“You wanted to meet me?” I asked her again.

“Yes, you heard my father about leading the squad in the forces, right?” She looked at me and asked.

I nodded.

“Then you should also know about the seriousness, right?”

I nodded again.

“You should be prepared. Things would be serious in the future.” 

I could see the solemness in her tone. But I could understand her concern. My performance could determine my future.

Alexandra’s gaze shifted to Lily. “I think you have thought about it,”

“I understand,”

My brows were furrowed. I don’t know what they are talking about. My gaze shifted to Lily.

“It was Alexandra who told me to come back to headquarters,” Lily looked at me and said.

“Yes, it was me who told her to come back. She would be working under you.”

I was surprised when I heard her. Lily looked at me.

“It was because of you that I agreed with this mission. You don’t know, but I have volunteered to go under the experiment.”

“Experiment?” I asked, but then I remembered her words. She lost her powers and forces have found the method to restore her powers.

“You would be the first one for the experiment?” I asked her.

She nodded. “You don’t know, but I have suffered a lot when I lost my powers. But I accepted my life and settled in the facility. When they told me about the experiment, I was quite apprehensive. A part of my mind didn’t want to return to that chaotic life. But when Alexandra told me that, I would be assisting you in the future. I accepted the task.”

I was stunned. Because of me, she accepted to be the scapegoat for the forces. Whatever it may be. But she would be facing the risk of failure in the experiment.

I was stunned and quite moved. To think that she would be taking a huge risk because of me. I was flabbergasted.

I don’t know what good things I have done in the past to meet these people. To be honest, I didn’t expect that I would meet these many people who would be concerned about me.

And as if she understood my thoughts, she said, “Don’t think too much. There was one more reason that I agreed to undergo the experiment.”

“What is it?” I asked her. 

“To be honest, even though I was satisfied with my life in the facility. One part of my heart always craved for this life. After enjoying most of my life praising me for my performance in the field. I wanted to enjoy that thrill again. And when she told me that the forces had found a way to restore my power and would be assisting you in the future, I agreed.”

I nodded in understanding but still felt that she was sacrificing her life for me. She could stay back and spend the rest of her life peacefully. But I could also understand that she has lived her life in the midst of battles and after experiencing that life, it would be quite boring for her to live a plain life.

But suddenly, Alexandra’s voice drew my attention. 

“You should go and take a rest. I would meet you after some time.”

I nodded and stood up to leave the room. From her words, I understood that she would come and meet me after some time.

“Lily would guide you to your place,” Alexandra looked at me and said.

Lily also stood up and looked at me.

“Shall we go?”

I nodded and took one last look at Alexandra and left the room.

And as soon as I exited the room, I looked at Lily. “You shouldn’t have agreed to the experiment. What if something happened to you?”

But she shook her head and said.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Even though I would be the first one to undergo the experiment, it should be quite safe.”

I could see that she was quite resolute. I nodded and said.

“Shall we go?”
