Chapter 601: Advances

He couldn't be blamed at all as he had definitely noticed how much more advanced Nicks territory was compared to the rest of the world. Hell many foreign powers who saw how things were going for the english isles started imitating Nick with some of their own people to great effect. For example there was now at least twelve different organizations like the adventurers guild that Nick started that operated nearly the same way. That didn't sound like a lot but keep in mind that most places around the globe have congregated into singular large entities instead of a bunch of small ones.-

Rather than dozens of small powers on each continent the vast majority of people everywhere all grouped up in "supercities" for safety whether they liked it or not. Death was a rather good motivator to unite for people after all. And that was what the rest of the land that had been taken back by the beasts and plantlife was , death. Everything was now much more powerful or dangerous for other reasons like magical toxins and diseases and even the plants that were once known to be safe for consumption were now questionable at best or inedible now.-

It wasn't ideal by any means but it was enough to survive and even thrive as Nick was always working on creating more fruit trees. The Zanpakuto really helped with the food as there was a few that had abilities to accelerate or enlarge plant growth. The most powerful of which was a weapon Zanpakuto however that turned the surrounding plantlife into the wielders absolute control. This meant that they could revert the previously edible plants back to that state which was a VERY valuable ability. Nick and the governing body of the territory all made sure that person was paid well for their services.-

This didn't mean that the person wasn't sent off to places that needed help with their food issues such as to Dumbledore and Flammel. It was rather funny how many people tried to poach the person from Nick while they were helping abroad but got harshly shot down with reality. The fact was that even getting a kings treatment was a fools bargain if it meant leaving Nicks territory. Even an idiot could see that the place wasn't just going to stagnate and let everywhere else catch up but was going to continue advancing further and further ahead of the rest.-

Even more so Hephaestus's status as a goddess was no longer a secret after Hestia and Zeus made it clear that the gods had returned. There was simply no reason why Nick or Hephaestus should keep it hidden at this point so she had been seen and felt within his territory. Despite this though it was obvious that the goddess was close to Nick as she rarely left the island for any reason besides to observe the Zanpakuto in action. With two powerhouses like that backing the territory and the great advancements it made it would be stupid to leave such a place.
