BXBX NOVEL Chapter 109 Thanos, Tigra, And Atom
The first one I saw was the first one that had hatched, and now he was standing on his little body in a very human way; I could see a little furry sac confirming that it was a boy. Red smooth fur covered his body, but for some reason, his toes were all different colors.
"There is no way I can contain the powers of yours! You shall be Thanos with all the multicolored toes of power you possess!" I said, and a small giggle slipped out despite myself.
Activating my scan, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my bright eyes didn\'t frighten him in the slightest. Then he got comfortable with my left Jiggler and stayed there.

Not too shabby for a pet, and Thanos would be able to help protect me, but it was the size of a soft ball. So, I didn\'t really see it taking on a Predator in the near future, but the Cat Dragon was still adorable.
My chest was still burning, but now that they were mine, their claws were not doing damage to me anymore. I stroked Thanos\'s little soft back, and he settled back down and curled up like the others had already.
Next was the patient eater, and the first thing I noticed about the Cat Dragon was that she was a female once her leg was lifted. The conservative eater was now soft but not light blue.
"Tigra, my little blue tigress, but not really. Maybe the name doesn\'t completely suit your personality, but I like it," I said as Tigra curled up on top of my right Flesh Mountain, and I started to scan her.

[Explore] (Gene) Acquired!
A conservative little explorer? That was a good combo, and having a scout with me to relay ariel reports would be a great help whenever I got the chance to get out and actually explore.
I had been stuck inside the Hive almost since creation, and that wasn\'t what I wanted in my life, but I got why it was this way. The Predators were becoming a serious problem, and even with guards, there was a chance for failure if I couldn\'t defend myself.
These were things that I needed to be thinking about. My evolution was going to be coming up soon, and I needed to decide what way I was going to go, but I had one more pet to go.
The last was… my god, he is so fricken green! It was like he had been colored with a highlighter, and his fur was so bright against my skin it almost looked like he had a nuclear waste glow to his hair.
"What am I supposed to call you?" I asked, and the small Cat Dragon looked at me, and I shit you not, it shrugged.
I almost burst out laughing from the indifference I got from the little creature. The feeling said, whatever works is good, I don\'t care, and then the little critter tucked itself under my breast, and I started my scan.

[Ingenious] (Gene) Acquired!
Well, the Assistant skill looked interesting, but it had next to no information about it. Still, it was cool that the creature could help me, and all of my new cuties were going to be helpful, but this one was going to be interesting.
I had to give it to him; he wasn\'t concerned about the little things. I didn\'t check, but the way he sent the feeling told me it was a male. I would check later; for now, I would just let him sleep, and I would figure out a name.
Atom, that was it! Better than calling him Nuke, and the Cat Dragon seemed wise. Now, I was going to start going over some of the different ideas for my evolution.
I had to decide what I needed, but I needed to know how many choices I would have. Another thing that I needed to consider was reproduction, but there was research about Genome editing with two female eggs to create life.
*Poof*
"You will have eight gene slots, and they will change your very DNA. You will be much different than the others, and you will have to go through an incubation period, and you will go through your own evolution," Hilda explained to me as she appeared from her cloud.
"Eight? That\'s a lot of choices that I could pull from, but that also makes it a lot easier for me to choose. Do you have any suggestions? I know I am taking Mecha, Metal Grafting, Genome, and Dragon. These things should help me be able to protect myself, and I don\'t want you telling me that I don\'t need to be able to defend myself!" I said defiantly.
"No, you are right, and now more than ever with the Predators. I suggest the All-Seeing Gene and then two magics. Whichever choice will not give you the ability to cast spells or use the elements freely, but they will allow you to imbue things with the Spell Imbuer Gene," Hilda suggested, and I nodded my head.
"Thank you, now that is another thing that is out of the way. I will be able to get some rest now, and when I get up, we should be at the Trolls Village. Please wake me up just before we arrive; I want to be ready to go down and greet them in person," I said to Hilda as I stroked my cat dragons until I fell asleep.
