Once I reached the rise, I started to grow the tree right away since it would take the longest. I was going to try and make this one much taller than the ones back in the city, stretching almost one hundred and fifty feet in the air if I could get it there.
The problem that I was having was how long it was taking to grow. For a bit, the tree stretched upwards; the roots had to spread out farther.
This made everything after one hundred feet move at a snail's pace compared to the first two-thirds of the tree.
The uneasiness was getting a lot stronger now, and it seed to be constantly getting close, but I couldn't sense them with the tree yet.
In the anti, I started to look for bugs. I couldn't figure out how to activate my vision like Orphus had, and my scan didn't seem to pick up bugs without directly targeting them.
I hadn't really thought this through when I ca over there, though, considering it was the middle of November. Luckily, the growth from the trees and heat made the grass and plants grow, also waking up mostly insects from hibernation.
After about five minutes of walking in the tall grass, I had collected most of what I needed. The burrs, ticks, and skeeters stuck to right away, and I was able to scan them that way.
I had to go need the tree line of the pasture to find one of the spikey burr plants, but that was worth the look. I pulled the plant up right away and started to edit so of the spikey seed pods.
The first thing I did was make them a bit bigger and heavier, then make them grow much faster. I also put more seeds in each one and made the seed shells explode apart to spread them out.
The last thing that I changed was the number of burr seeds that it produced and how sticky it was. I made sure that both of those things were turned up to the max, making these the perfect traps to hold soone down.
Almost perfect, but anyone that could use fire would be an issue from almost anything that I made. I would just have to make them squirt water or sothing, and I could make the changes quickly without any effort.
I called about fifteen ticks to and made them hand-sized and indestructible. Well, to everything that I could, and gave them a stretching stomach.
These little flat softball science fiction creatures would be good at weakening strong foes fast. Each about to hold up to a mason jar worth of blood, and they would be tough to peel off.
If anyone did, and the head was left inside, they would get a super dose of Ly Disease, and that wasn't going to be fun for anyone involved. I would be able to cure them after, but it would hamper them drastically in battle.
I turned back to the tree, and it was only at one hundred and twenty feet in the air, but it had just picked up movent to the east. I opened my wings up and jumped into the air, flapping to raise higher, but I was able to see the creature at thirty feet.
"Woah! Is that Godzilla?!" I asked out loud as I stared at the thirty-foot-tall lizard.
It looked almost identical to the nuclear fallout lizard I had grown up watching fight other crazy monsters on VHS. This one was no three-hundred-footer like the King of Monsters, but that didn't make it look any less intimidating!
I really wasn't sure how I was supposed to fight sothing like that. If it was even a quarter as destructive as the real Godzilla, then I was going to have to lead it away from here.

Chelsea could see a massive tree growing in the distance, and her body started to transform on its own. There was nothing she could do to stop the AI from doing this, but now she was on a twenty-minute tir.
"Look, just try your best to kill him. If you win, you can do whatever you want, for the most part. I am still going to be forcing you to do things, but I can minimize the number of people you have to kill," Dathkar explained, but Chelsea didn't trust the voice in her head and for good reason.
Ever since the voice had appeared in her head, Chelsea's life had been full of death and destruction. There was nothing that this voice could say that would make her trust him, but now she could see a man in the distance.
This must be the Hero that she needed to kill or be killed by, but he looked like an angel to her. She didn't want to end his life, but at the sa ti, Chelsea didn't want to die either.
"Give it everything you have got. There is sothing wrong with this guy! I can sense Orphus with him, but I can't contact him! There is only one way sothing like that can happen, but there is no way that it is possible!" Dathkar complained, but Chelsea was ignoring him.
She had no ti to listen to the rambling AI now; the Hero was flying directly at her with great speed. Chelsea's body started to heat up, and she could feel the electricity crackling along the plates of her leathery back in anticipation.
The Hero tried to fly past her, but her body released a massive electricity discharge, scoring a direct hit on him. The Hero spiraled to the ground and smashed into it in a pile of snow but stood up like it was nothing, not a mark on him.
"Sorry, this doesn't look good! He must have already been in contact with the spirit of this planet. It should be too early for him, but we also made sure that he was the only Hero this ti! Looks like I am going to get to head back up to the Hive after all!" Dathkar explained.
