First up are the treasures from that metal bull deity.

  It used two special orb items. The first was a one-use magnetic powerhouse—pretty much burned out in the fight, so it’s useless now.

  What really catches Oliver’s eye is the second item it left behind: an orb packed with countless metal primal runes.

  This thing’s the same type as a Chaos Ember.

  “The Law of Metal… my gem space might need something like this…” Oliver muses.

  If the gem space is gonna become a real universe, it can’t be without metal. Sure, his gem space already has soil, continents, and planets—but those continents? Basically zero ore.

  No ore, no metal—that’s not a complete world.

  So, Oliver tosses the metal rune orb, along with a few Chaos Embers, into the gem space.

  The Chaos Embers, naturally, can spark flames in the gem space. Oliver’s planning to use them to whip up a sun-like planet in there, pumping out heat.

  That heat’ll speed up the plant deities’ growth too. Sure, plant deities aren’t like the plants Oliver knew in his future life—they don’t need photosynthesis or anything.

  But he’s betting those embers’ll still do them good—least of all, they’ll help the gem space form a proper universe.

  On top of that, Oliver scored a ton of B- and A-tier items. On their own, they’re no big deal, but there’s so damn many—adding up to about 1.6 million Mandela Metal’s worth.

  What grabs his attention most is a blob of divine essence from the spider deity, laced with the Law of Slowness.

  If he can master that law, his strength’s going up another notch.

  “These deities were pretty broke—bunch of ‘em, and not one S-tier item,” Oliver’s a bit bummed.

  Good thing all the random junk together’s worth 1.6 million pounds of Mandela Metal—enough to trade for two, maybe three S-tier items.

  Worth noting, though: Oliver’s Bloodreaver? Even among S-tier gear, it’s a special weapon. 1.6 million pounds might not even snag one.

  With that in mind, Oliver projects his soul into the gem space.

  And holy hell—the gem space has changed big-time!

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Rumble, rumble!

  When Oliver chucked in the metal law orb, it started breaking down and melting on its own, turning into streams of liquid metal that flowed toward the continents and planets.

  That’s the Chaos Gem soaking up those metal laws.

  Right then, those continents and planets come alive—like giant beasts greedily gulping down the metal energy.

  In no time, the metal laws work a miracle on the gem space’s continents. The planets and continents get tougher, heavier—you can faintly see veins of ore forming underground.

  Iron ore, rare earths, gem mines, even Mandela Metal deposits!

  ‘Course, Mandela Metal’s a rare find in the chaos—super valuable. Even the naturally formed deposits in the gem space are tiny right now, maybe 100,000 pounds’ worth.

  But they’re still growing, and Oliver’s pleased as punch.

  It’s small now, but later? It’s like the gem space unlocked a passive money-dropping perk!

  And the metal laws blending into the gem space? The perks don’t stop there.

  “Master, it’s so weird—with these ore veins, we’re growing faster!” Ygg says, hyped but kinda confused.

  “Yeah, yeah, my growth speed’s up like thirty percent!” the star tree chimes in, pumped.

  “The more complete the world’s laws, the better it is for you guys. And the more you grow, the faster the gem space evolves…” Oliver nods.

  It’s a two-way street—both sides leveling up together!

  The plant deities don’t get the nuts and bolts, but Oliver does. It’s like plants in his future life needing fertilizer and specific trace elements.

  The metal primal rune merging into the gem space? That’s like adding those trace elements to the continents and soil.

  With that stuff, the plants grow faster.

  Oliver’s gaze shifts to the three Chaos Embers. The Chaos Embers don’t get digested right away in the gem space—they float midair, radiating intense heat.

  Oliver thinks it over and decides to speed things up. He grabs a small planet with his soul power and smashes it into the three Chaos Embers.

  Boom!

  A crazy explosion rings out. The planet catches fire instantly, blazing up in a few breaths.

  But that’s not enough. Oliver keeps pouring in soul power, forcing the fire runes from the Chaos Embers to spread and sink into every inch of the planet’s soil.

  A man-made sun’s taking shape.

  “So comfy!” the nearby plants can’t help shouting.

  Bathed in the glow of the fire law, the intense heat makes some plants cheer like kids.

  For a plant to grow right, it needs a lot—nutrient-rich soil, proper light, heat, and water.

  Right now, Oliver hasn’t cracked the water part, but he’s hooked them up with rich soil and plenty of heat.

  Sure, if they were regular plants, they’d have croaked from no water by now. But these are plant deities—gods don’t die that easy.

  Back in the chaos world, they grew fine with nothing at all—just way slower than in Oliver’s gem space, where they’re thriving and zooming up.

  “See that? This is why you stick with the master. Some of you questioned why I became his servant—now you get how right I was, huh?” Ygg waggles its branches, smug as hell, bragging to the other plants.

  “Yep, got it, boss! We’re with the master forever!” starlight grass, sakura sword tree, and the rest yell back, all super loyal vibes.

  Oliver’s raw power already blew their minds. Now, these gem space changes? They’re floored. They didn’t even know this stuff could supercharge their growth.

  And Oliver—this snake—just made it happen, pushing their growth into overdrive.

  This master’s just too damn awesome!
