Chapter 301: Split Evolution
The Princess was looking at the pool of blood in shock while the butler had woken up to only immediately faint again. The Emperor grunted in amusement. The High Priestess was the one to break the silence. "What did you mean by the Spectres being a species?"Her words caused the Emperor to jolt in his seat while Jace was expecting the question. The Princess pulled out of her shock, looked over at her father. While Astella made a facial expression that was more reminiscent of her making a mistake. The Emperor sighed after a moment, "just how it sounds. The nanomachines in our system were made to evolve the users into greater warriors. We had managed something similar a long time ago during the Grand Hexarian Empire with the Praetorians. But the Spectres were the next step on that path and only achievable when the users were young."
"So you created an entire species? How did you even manage that?" The princess asked in shock as she looked over at Jace.
"It was actually Spectre Jace who gave us the idea. He had shown exceptional abilities since he was young and those only further grew until he reached the peak human level. Then the system had him undergo a process to convert from a pure human into something that is called a Spectre." The Emperor explained, fully trusting the occupants of the room. "Actually that reminds me. How far along in the process are you Spectre Jace?"
Jace sighed as he had not checked the information himself in awhile. He looked into the open air and opened the nanosystem interface. He probably should have checked on it after his interaction with the Centuria but after the error message from the system he just set aside the thought of checking it.

Within the next day or so it would end up in neighboring systems and then farther. As Jace rode in the vehicle that drove them back to the docks he looked over at the High Priestess. The Princess had gone back under the protection of her own people as she sorted out the traitors that were trying to kill her. But the High Priestess was heading back to the Venture.
"I am sure you are aware. But now that the documents have been officially signed, the command the Emperor had over the Spectres has been transferred to you." Jace informed her as the vehicle slightly rocked. He was sitting in the front seat with the driver. While in the back seats were the High Priestess and Nila. The rest of his squad were in vehicles in front and behind them.
"Good, then I want you to apologize." The High Priestess looked toward him with a glare while Nila chuckled. They had been talking about the primitive nature of the vehicles.
"For what am I apologizing?" Jace asked as he turned lightly back. "Ma’am?"
"For being so rude the first time we met." The High Priestess reminded him.
"I apologize for being so rude the first time we met." Jace apologized, "but if a similar situation occurs again I will follow the same course of actions as I was following a specific set of orders." Jace reminded her, turning her triumphant smile into a frown.
She then sat back in her seat and mumbled. Jace just rolled his eyes and focused on the road ahead of them. Continuing to look for threats around them.
