In ab, a group of scientists were seated around a table, that has an holographic image floating in front of them.


    "What''s your current progress on the Evolution Capsule, people?" One of them asked.


    "Good and bad at the same time. We were to build the Evolution Capsule but there''s a problem; we have to no way to get a material that''s strong enough for it in the real world," A man with the name tag, Daiki, said.


    "That''s not a problem. There''s an atomic printer avable and as long as you guys can research a way to create such material, then we can print it through the atomic printer," A youngdy sitting at the head of the table, said.


    One could see that the youngdy that has a whiteb coat worn over the nearly skimpy clothes she was wearing, is the one in charge of the meeting.


    The group of scientists seated around the table are those that were specifically chosen solely for the research and creation of the Evolution Capsule.


    "If that is true, then that''s one problem solved," Daiki replied.


    "What''s the second problem?" The youngdy asked curiousl, with her eyes narrowed slightly.


    Daiki looked at the youngdy for a moment and sighed.


    "The Evolution Capsule is meant to be a limit breaker on the evolutionary potential of a race. Though it sounds like a good thing, it alsoes with a lot of risk...," Daiki said and paused, as he waited for the youngdy to ask the question he wants her to ask.


    " And what are these risks?" The youngdy asked.


    Daiki nodded when he heard her question. He tapped on the table and the previous floating holographic image was reced with another.


    The holographic image now floating on the table, is that of the Evolution Capsule that Daiki and his team built.


    "Miss Luna, the risk we''re are talking about here are very severe. Before one can use the Evolution Capsule, one must have reached the absolute limit of their race''s allowed evolutionary potential and must, I must emphasize on the word must, Miss Luna. The user must be physically strong enough to handle the process or it would kill whoever it is."


    Daiki looked at Luna and waited to see what her reaction would be. He was disappointed and relieved at the same time when he saw that there was no change in her expression.


    It was the same cold and unreadable expression she always had and he sighed in relief.


    "Mr Daiki, how long did it your team topletely research and create the Evolution Capsule?" Luna asked, as her expression became colder than it already was.


    Daiki couldn''t help but shiver slightly when he heard Luna''s question. He felt that he was going to be in trouble if he doesn''t give her a satisfying reply.


    He was fully aware that Luna can''t do anything to him but he can help have this fear whenever he sees her. He knew the reason for it, as he always feels the same way whenever he''s summoned by his mother, but he knew that there''s still a very huge difference between his mother and Luna, and that difference has increasedtely.


    "Miss Luna, it took us 13 years toplete research on the Evolution Capsule and an additional 6 months to build it," Daiki replied, and lowered his head.


    "Your team used a total of 13 years and 6 months to research and build the Evolution Capsule. Mr Daiki, by your calctions, how long do you think it would take you to remove those risks?" Luna asked.


    "Miss Luna, if I''m to be optimistic... 100 years isn''t enough. Even a thousand years would see us make very little progress. We are talking about the evolutionary potential of a race here, and the evolutionary potential of a race is something that can''t be changed that easily. I''m sorry to say this but take us as examples, there''s no way we would be able to evolve more than we are allowed to.


    It''s not entirely impossible for a race to break the limit their evolutionary potential, but the risks involved is what makes it impossible."


    Daiki was done saying what he had to say and was waiting quietly and anxiously to hear what Luna would say.


    "So, what you mean is that the risks of death can''t be eliminated?" Luna asked, as she gazed at Daiki intensely.


    Luna''s gaze made Daiki to fidget on his seat and he felt very ufortable. It felt like the chair he was seated on, suddenly had multiple needles sticking out of it.


    He coughed lightly as he gathered hisposure, and looked at Luna.


    "Yes, Miss Luna. It''s impossible to eliminate the risk of death during the use of the Evolution Capsule."


    He secretly sighed in relief when he saw Luna nod and stood up from her seta.


    "I want your team and department to coborate with the relevant department involved in the research and creation of materials needed for the Evolution Capsule to be built in the real world. I want results on it in 8 months," Luna said, and disappeared from she stood.


    After she disappeared, everyone in theb let out a lengthy sigh of relief.


    "Thank you for your sacrifice, Mr Daiki," one of them said, as he patted Daiki lightly on his back.


    "It''s fine. As the leader of the team, it''s what I''m supposed to do...," Daiki said, as he kept on looking at where Luna disappeared from.


    "You guys noticed it, right?" He asked, not taking his eyes off the spot.


    A heavy silence descended in theb after Daiki asked the question.


    They noticed? Of course they did! The difference between the Miss Luna they knew and the Miss Luna that was in front of them was huge.


    The previous Luna they knew was cold but not as cold as the present. No, it would be more urate to say that the presence Luna had a very noble presence that made them respect her but the current one feels... alien...


    ****


    After Luna disappeared from the Evolution Capsule research and developmentb facility section of theb world, she appeared in another section of theb world.


    Inside a room, she looked at a group of people in whiteb coat standing around what looks like a self-loading concrete mixer, and was assessing it carefully.


    "Alright people, this is the moment of truth. Let''s know if ourst few months of sleepless nights paid off," One of them said.


    The next moment, a whirling sound was heard from the self-loading concrete mixer, and the rotating mixing drum started rotating slowly.


    The group of scientists waited with bated breath, as they anxiously watched the vehicle.


    Few minutester, the mixing drum stopped rotating and a slushing sound was heard from inside the mixing drum, and something poured out through the discharge chute.


    What poured out was a mixture that look very simr to a concrete.


    "Congrattions people, it worked!" The man said and the rest of them jumped up in happiness.


    The group of scientists standing in front of the self-loading concrete mixer are researcher that are in charge of incorporating the atomic printer into machine.


    From the results in front them, they seeded. They seeded in finding a way to also build the machine in the real world with already avable materials.


    Luna nodded and smiles when she saw this. She was very satisfied with the results that has been achieved by the research AIs in the simtedb world.


    So many things had been researched by them and results has been seen.


    When she saw that there was nothing else for her to do in theb world, she disconnected her digital consciousness from it.

    {Master, everything is ready. We can now start building the machines.} Luna said to Ss.


    She also gave him progress report on the Evolution Capsule research and development,band she told him about the risks involved.


    "It seems it''s the system''s motto is no pain, no gain. It''s all good though. At least it''s a good price to pay for my strength."


    Ss wasn''t bothered by the risks that Luna told him about, and he wasn''t scared by it.


    He knew that he has no choice. He either take his chances and risk it or he should just allow him to live 200 more years and die. Actually, he felt and he knew that the estimated 200 more years he has to live would most likely shorten if he doesn''t find a way to fix the issue with his body, as time goes on.


    Ss was also curious as to what it would feel like to break the limits of humanity''s evolutionary potential.


    What would be the results that he would see? Would he be able to achieve what humanity''s has always wanted? And that''s bing gods!


    Ss smiled wryly when he thought as he looks towards the future with curiosity.


    "It won''t be too long before I find out."
