Chapter 426: A Closer Connection With Nature?

-----

Ervas felt a sudden and even greater connection with Nature.

Before acquiring these Skills, Ervas was able to connect his stream of consciousness and mana through Mana Control and Telepathy, which he also added into Psychokinesis.

Like his, he had managed to create a connection with the plants of the Devil Forest by constantly generating a cycle of transfer of mana and absorbing of it, like with every person later on, which he constantly and still does unconsciously, helping everyone generate large quantities of mana.

However, after traveling those six months, Ervas had to separate himself from those plants, and sadly his connection with them became dimmer…

But now, he suddenly regained it, stronger than ever.

Even more, he felt like he could make a connection directly into the souls of plants even the simple seaweed down below.

Although this might seem completely useless, if he managed to surround himself with these plants, he would be in a similar place to his own domain, he could control these plants and they could also supply him with life and mana.

Aside from this, Ervas had acquired the ability to create Nature and Manipulate it.

What did it mean by creating nature?

By spending millions of mana at once, he was able to generate plants out of thin air.

It would begin as a seed and then grow into an actual tree.

The more mana he poured, the bigger it would grow.

However, he realized that generating a simple tree with mana alone cost around 30 Million Mana, a ridiculous price.

In this world Gods were the only ones who could do such things as generating plants out of thin air, so what Ervas had accomplished was indeed amazingly fantastic already. However, he would need to increase his mastery over this power before being able to abuse it in any way.

But if he could employ it correctly… he could even fill desertic and arid places with plants of all types, bringing life to the world.

He had already even designed within his mind some kind of plant that could absorb the miasma of an area, cleansing the area… He knew about the place such as the Abyss Continent which was filled with deadly miasma, or the demon continents themselves which had a lot of miasma. If he could lower the increasingly high concentrations of miasma in those places, he could be slowly nourishing the world.

There were many ways to create plants, and Noah Ervas had the possibility of edit their creation and more.

Parasitic plants, plants that could produce specific types of fruit, plants with steel-like bark, and more.

Aside from these new abilities, there was the new refinement of his Mana into Divine Mana.

However, it was not as if he became a true God nor he was remotely comparable with Bestellen or something, but Divine Mana let Ervas refine his mana, so he needed lesser quantities to conjure that giant spell.

Alongside this, Divine Mana was not Divine Power, so he was not able to generate miracles like Gods were able to do, but the power of anything he used this refined type of mana with would an enhancement on its strength.

It was as if Ervas Mana had become richer in quality and better at efficiency, perhaps he would be able to discover more things as he developed the skill and used it in conjunction with Mana God.

And lastly, the biggest change within his soul was… the interior of it.

The vast white space had the void in the middle of it, a connection to the outer space of some sort.

This void had begun to expand, even more, covering all the white space with darkness and void!

Ervas did not felt any pain whatsoever, this wasn't anything bad per se, but it was a shocking change.

This internal space had now become a world of the void, and the void expanded enough to take all over it now!

There was now… no white space.

It was as if Ervas had an endless void space inside of him, but he did not really think about putting anyone inside of it, it seemed unstable compared to Veronica's Soul.

He really did not know what would really come out of this, but after a bit, a sudden flash of light happened, and the void world exploded.

"W-What?!"

Ervas saw with fear as an explosion that warped the very void of his soul happened!

However!

Suddenly, the explosion began to… eat itself!

It began to contract back… and silence once more took hold of this empty and void darkness.

However, a moment after, Noah felt a strange… thing right in the center of this void that connected to the outer space of whatever place he thought.

He saw… something similar to a crystal.

Completely black crystal.

The crystal began to beat as if it were a heart…

Ervas kept looking, but it seemed that everything had stopped for now.

This… he did not know what was happening anymore.

Appraisal really did not help with this at all.

Ervas wondered if he could enter the void now that it had simply taken over everything, but it seemed to not be possible, even if he threw his consciousness into it, there was a limited space within this void which he could not cross, so the stars and other faraway planets could only be seen but not reached.

Yet, this black crystal kept beating and slowly growing…

Ervas decided to leave this mystery for another day, as he wanted to see his Skill Tree again.

…

"Hm, I see… Alright, time to take at least the three first Abilities alongside the Dragon Bloodline one…" thought Ervas.

Noah suddenly felt as if the bloodline of the dragon rushed through his blood vessels, warming his entire body as if pure flames were flowing through it!

It was an exhilarating sensation like he had never felt!

He quickly delved into these abilities, finding out their effects.

You can inflict fear on those who have ill intentions against you. Alongside this, your growth greatly enhances.

…

Ervas glanced at the Abilities with intrigue.

Although they were nothing insane nor a Skill he could activate, they were more like passive skills that could activate after certain conditions, or simply abilities that let him do certain things if he wanted.

After getting these Abilities, he felt even better, in fact, he felt revitalized and as if he had grown in strength.

His muscle seemed to have strengthened at last despite him still being quite small, and his blood was rushing through his body and giving him a special type of warmth that felt very good.

Alongside this, his presence as a Champion gave him a little dignified appearance…

However, in reality, nothing much changed, and aside from these boosts, he was still the same good old Ervas.

He quickly joined with everyone else for the rest of the feast.
