On the night of the day when Axel had his fight against Emma, Axel began to observe his world as soon as he got to his room to gain more information and try to find areas where he could make his world better.
The first thing that he saw was that the migration towards the new continent was almost over, and only the Guburg Village and a small part of the population of the other two tribes remained on the old landmass.
"Heaven, how is everything going? Have they managed to develop countermeasures against corruption? " Axel asked as he looked over his world.
"For now, the Guburg has been using their tattoos so they would get a corrupt one, and with it, they would be able to manipulate it and resist its effects up to a point. This has allowed them to gain control over most of the old continent as they don't have to care as much as the others about the corruption and have more freedom to act as they want." Heaven explained." Apart from that, it seems like the tree that you have selected to become the beacon of the world has developed some countermeasure by itself using heavenly energy, creating like this a new kind of energy."
"Really? That's pretty convenient. And I assume that humans have yet to find this new kind of energy, right?"
"That's correct. Until now, the new kind of energy has yet to expand beyond the central areas of the new continent."
"And couldn't we force the discovery of this energy?" I mean, we could make it artificially appear somewhere where humans can reach it easily and then send a message so someone goes over there and finds it, right?" Axel asked.
"It could be easily done if that's what you want."
"Great, then let's start with the preparations then."
After that, Axel began to observe the new continent, trying to find the perfect spot to place the new kind of energy, when he realized that he didn't even know what it did.
"Heaven, what are the new energy characteristics?"
"The function of the new energy is to stimulate the body to make it perform better than its usual performance. It could make someone faster, make its regeneration stronger, make it faster, or aid in eliminating external substances like poison or corruption. Besides all those things, it has also made some magical beasts increase their reproductive capacities, and some plants become more resilient to certain environments." Heaven explained.
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
"I see. Let's call it life-energy for now."
After obtaining all that information, Axel continued with his observation of the world, and in no time, he found the perfect spot to create an area with life-energy.
"I mean, a desert may be the complete opposite of life, but an oasis filled with plants and a few animals would be the perfect spot to find life-energy. Heaven, create an oasis in the middle of this desert and fill it with plants that can contain life-energy."
"As you wish."
Seconds after telling Heaven to create the oasis, water began to appear at a visible speed between a few dunes, and in less than an hour, plants were growing around it.
"Make it big; we don't want them to have a shortage of life-energy."
After seeing the oasis grow to a certain extent, Axel happily nodded and continued with the preparations of his plan.
'Ok, we have the surprise almost ready. Now we only need someone to discover it.' He thought.
Axel began to search across the new continent and the old one for someone in whom he saw potential.
For the next few days inside his world, he visited hundreds of people, and even though he found some that could be useful for his quest, he still felt like something was missing.
That was until he found out about the anticultist groups on the old continent. As soon as he became aware of their existence, he became a fan of their work. After all, they were working to keep his world free of corruption, so he felt like he was in debt to them.
'Well, technically it is also their world, so it makes sense for them to want to keep it clean.'
He continued observing them doing their job. He saw how they traveled to a swamp and how they cleverly reduced the number of enemies before entering it.
'Man, that joke sucks.' He thought while reading the word "justice" inscribed on Zack's long sword, even if a tiny smile appeared on his face.
After that, he continued observing.
He saw the fights and how Zack got his arm injured.
He saw how Zack struggled when he realized that he wouldn't be able to use his right arm to fight anymore.
He saw how Zack became tempted by the diary.
"Oh, no. You're fucking NOT joining the dark side. Heaven, send this man a message, so he goes to the new continent and finds the oasis. Don't tell him directly where to go. You know, make it a bit mysterious. Also, grant him a bit of heavenly-energy, and if he decides to refuse the quest and starts using corruption, release a heavenly tribulation on him."
"As you wish," Heaven replied.
'As far as I have seen, you look like a good guy, so I'm pretty sure that you are going to discard the idea of using corruption as soon as you get the message. I hope I'm not mistaken.'
