Ding!

[The [Yggdrasil Spirit: Lv7] Skill has been activated!]

[You're channeling the power of your own Yggdrasil's Spirit.]

FLUOOSH!

The power of the Yggdrasil Spirit Skill activated, as I imbued its powers into the palm of my hand and quickly used them to create a Lesser Yggdrasil Seed like I had done before. This Skill was a multi-purpose Skill, capable of not only doing this, but also healing, creating plants for eating, defending, or attacking, and enhancing too.

And when I created a Lesser Yggdrasil Tree, it usually took a big chunk of my MP. However, this time I was going to make something much more complicated, let's call it a "Lesser Chaos Yggdrasil Seed".

Crack!

I took a small fragment off the Magic Crystal from the Abyssal Chaos Elder Dragon and then fused it with the still forming seed, while using Synthesis through the Alchemy Arts Skills to make sure the two components fused together.

FLAAAAAASH!

Ding!

[The power of the [Yggdrasil Spirit: Lv7] Skill is reacting!]

[The created [Lesser Yggdrasil Seed (B Grade)] has mutated and fused with the [Abyssal Chaos Elder Dragon Magic Crystal Fragment (S Grade)]!]

Both the purple-colored crystal fragment and the shiny seed merged together, forming a darker, sinister-looking seed, overflowing with both the power of Chaos and Life and Nature.

It was a similar composition to the plants in this jungle, so it seems I nailed it.

Ding!

[You've synthetized the [Lesser Chaos Yggdrasil Seed (A Grade)]!]

[Outstanding achievement! You've created another new Yggdrasil Plant.]

[The Cosmic Throne [Primordial Spirit Tree of Yggdrasil] is curious about what you've done.]

[She doesn't know if she should feel happy you've created this new child, or angry you've tainted her with the darkness of chaos, where all things end and begin.]

[Nonetheless, she is interested in this new child, and praises your creativity.]

[The Cosmic Throne [Primordial Spirit Tree of Yggdrasil] has gifted [Divine Soul Realm Fragment (S Grade)] x1!]

Wait, she gifted me something really weird! A Divine Soul Realm Fragment?! What is that even? Like a Divine Realm? Well, Divine Realms are inside the soul so they're technically Soul Realms… or is it?

My Divine Realm was left behind with Rimuru, Nesiphae, Brontes, and Zehe, so I've not been able to access it in this new body and soul.

But maybe with this…

Well, whatever the case, I'll concentrate in what I've done. Seems like the mother is happy so I might as well continue on my way.

"What has Kireina made?"

"It is some sort of seed?"

"Oh, a snack?"

Several children gathered around me, not as respectful as adults, they were very curious. I giggled at their curiosity, children had always been adorable and I simply can't get mad at them.

"It's not a snack, dears." I giggled. "This is a gift for your village. It will be your protector, your friend, and your sanctuary. I hope you take good care of her."

I planted the seed in the middle of the village, which was currently empty. I added some of that purple water from the river we found on our way here, and then imbued both Miasma, Chaos, Spirit Energy, and Life and Nature Mana into it.

FLUOOOOOSH!

The powers flowed like colorful rivers of energy, imbuing themselves into the soil and fusing with the seed instantly. I also constantly used some of the Agricultural Arts such as [Soil Enhancement] and [Plant Growth Acceleration] to make things develop even quicker.

RUMBLE!

The entire floor started to tremble. Some people panicked, as the chief came running to my side asking what I was doing.

"Kireina! What's the meaning of this?!" She asked.

"Sorry about the fuss, I am trying to grow a tree here. A big tree that can protect you and feed you well." I said with a smile.

"A-A tree?" She was rather surprised, until she finally saw it.

A tree whose branches were dark brown, and whose leaves were pink and purple started growing constantly into the skies. Tens of meters, dozens of meters, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, until it finally stopped at almost seventy meters of height.

It covered the skies beautifully, giving everyone some nice shade from the harsh sun of the desert. Despite this place being a jungle, it was still in the end of a arid desert, so the heat was very intense.

The leaves shone bright pink and purple, and even small cherry-like fruits popped up here and there. I picked up one and tasted it. It was sweet and slightly citric. There were also seeds, and red-colored chili-like fruits, which were spicy too. Lastly, purple apple-like fruits had a more plain and mild taste, and their texture was a lot like potatoes.

"T-These are edible fruits! And they're all amazing!" The chief said, devouring the fruits I gave to her. "Ah, this one is very hot, but I like the spiciness!"

"They're all edible!"

"Food!"

"A-And they're growing so fast too!"

"Woow!"

The children quickly got closer to the tree and then the rest of the tribe began to familiarize with it incredibly quickly. After a while, my friends were also glancing at it in admiration, and Yggdra seemed interested too.

"Mama! Are you going to give her a soul too?" Wondered Yggdra.

"Well she already has one, but indeed, I'll give her an Ego, if that's what you meant, dear." I gave her a head pat. "Alright Black, come here."

"Sigh… Am I your Ego Carrier or something?" He sighed.

"Well you store them so spit them out." I said with a giggle.

"UGH, here~" Black sighed, quickly taking out something from his own body, a large accumulation of Ego Fragments shining brightly.

I imbued it directly into the tree's bark, as it started fusing with it immediately after. An Ego was slowly being born, absorbing the tree's powers and also the energy of the entire jungle's surroundings.

But it wasn't just that, the tree absorbed several souls I saw flying around. Some of fallen demons of this tribe that had yet to pass away. They willingly merged with the tree's ego, as if they desired to protect their families even after their death…

FLAAAASH!

Ding!

[Congratulations! You've created a brand-new Ego!]
