After Axel gave the order, the excess energy that was being absorbed by the core after the modification of the rune came back to it. This time, instead of adding or modifying the lines of the rune, the energy began to wrap around the rune slot, creating a bright edge.
"Is it done? Won't it split up? Just like that?" Axel asked, surprised.
"Yes, it is done. The edge around the rune will force it to stay together while we feed it with energy." Heaven replied.
"Wow. I always expect complicated things when it comes to worldbuilding, but I guess sometimes the simplest solution is also the most effective." Axel said after observing the rune for a few seconds.
After the modifications to the cultivation add-on and forcing it to stay together, the core lost a lot of intensity, which meant that it had used a lot of its energy.
"Does the core have enough energy to create a new add-on?" Axel asked Heaven.
"Not right now, but if we resume the time, we could get enough in a few hours in the outside world."
"Well, I fixed the problem with the cultivation ranks, so I guess there is no reason to keep the world frozen," Axel replied.
After that, he was about to break his concentration when an idea crossed his mind.
"Heaven, you can control the new bloodline's function, right?"
"Yes, I can."
"Nice. And are you able to create new bloodlines from nothing?"
"Yes, I can do it."
"Ok. I want you to recreate the bloodline that the snake we have sent to fight in the tournament should have. Do you think you will be able to do it?"
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"Thanks to the changes you made to my add-on to be able to classify creatures inside the world, I have information about all the creatures that have lived since its creation, so with a bit of time, I should have it done," Heaven replied.
"Do it then. It would be sad if the world didn't see the first of its creatures that reached rank two. I think it deserves to at least have its descendants living inside the world again." Axel said.
"Technically, that magical beast already has offspring. It has given birth to exactly ninety-six individuals that are still alive." Heaven replied.
"What the hell? Really? Well, I don't mean its real descendants. What I want is its evolved form to exist inside the world and bring that new element with it." Axel said.
"I will start my work as soon as possible then."
"Perfect. When you finish, release a few weak specimens into the north ocean of Eden. Maybe they will become strong enough to change the area with their elements and create an artificial north pole." Axel said while laughing.
"As you order, Master."
After that, Axel broke his concentration and returned to the toilet.
When he opened his eyes, he looked at his phone and realized that he had been there for more than half an hour.
He left the bath as fast as he could and began to run across the fairgrounds until he reached the area where they celebrated the tournament.
As soon as he arrived, he saw his two friends standing by the side of a screen, looking at a battle between a martial artist made of ice and a cyberpunk samurai.
"Sorry for being so late. How's everything? Have you fought already? Have you won?" Axel began to ask his friend.
"I lost," Adam replied with a half smile." At this point, everyone had a rank two world, and two of them were friends, so they teamed up against the other participant and me. After a bit, our troops began to work together, but it was too late for us to turn the tables on them."
"That's pretty sad. But think about it. It could be worse. You could have lost in the first round like William." Axel said while bursting into laughter.
"Eh!" William shouted indignantly.
After that, the three friends continued looking at the tournament until it was over.
The winner was a teenager, around seventeen years old. When he was declared the winner, the organization gave him a medal and a microphone so he could say anything that he wanted. With a smile on his face, he began to shout at the microphone.
"I did it, guys! This victory goes to my group. Long live the "Black Demons of the Dark Seventh Hell!" the teenager shouted.
