Chapter 26: Time acceleration.
Time acceleration.
Sure it was not the most preferred time travel or the beloved future sight. But at this moment, this power seemed to be more significant than the two.
With that mere thought in mind, Zenn immediately left the beach and went on to a more flat area.
As for the two goblins below, they were of course unable to reach their lord who was far above in he clouds. So they were forced to once again take long trip trying to catch up to their lord.
With the size of everything in the world, Zenn soon found a perfect place to plant some seed. After all, he did not think he could plant any in the beach. Even if Zenn was not knowledge about botany or plant like, he was pretty sure proper soil is necessary and not the bulky sand.
After Zenn reached the place, he immediately sat down. He then dug out a hole using his hands. Surprisingly though, it was pretty easy. The earth gave in the moment his finger were shoved into the ground.
As this was equally a test as well as a method to let him survive further in this world, Zenn did not make a single hole. He instead made five holes in total with different sizes. A pinkie sized, a finger size, all the way up to hand sized.
In his hand was five seeds. Using his size altering power, all the seed were soon with different sizes. Original sized all up to the biggest finger nail size. After that, he put all the differently size seed in their separate and appropriate sized holes.
After he was done, he went to the small sized hole and used time power for the first time. Zenn put his hands fowards and covered the hole with his hands. His eyes close and the knowledge in his head was spun.
And immediately as he did, Zenn felt a little push from his hands. What he felt from the push was a texture simillar to glass bowl that was constantly growing. So much so that Zenn could see what was below his hands.
And with the gap between his fingers, he saw It. It was very small and was almost unnoticeable, but as small as it may be it brimmed with life. Growing from the rough ground and defied its limitations and sprouted.
It was so small that in Zenn's eyes, it was a mere green tint on the brown earth. But it was this mere tint that sprouted life and vitality to the world. With each its breath it allowed another to breath it own. It may not be the source of life, but it is what supports it.
It was a plant.
Seeing its small green leaves spreading, Zenn felt like spitting out a poem. Sadly, he was not that literally learned.
The green colour and grew until it suddenly wilted...
"...?"
Zenn immediately stopped inputting time energy to the plant. He then immediately went closer and looked at the little plant in the ground. The plant was dark green and and looked sickly. It's only two leaves seemed to be falling and were drooping. The little stem on The other hand seemed to be closer to black than green.
"Why is it dying?"
Zenn scratched his head and wondered.
"Is because of viruses or is it that this isn't the right soil for the plant?"
Zenn squinted his eyes slightly and thought. Last he checked from Zuri, the water had been contaminated by Komoru, so could the virus or whatever he used be affecting the soil too? After all, the land looks so barren that it seemed suspicious.
'If its a soil problem...'
Then Zenn wouldn't know. After all, he was not a native resident of this world. Only Zuri and Ena would know such things. But Zenn had left them back at the beach when he hastility left. Should he go back?
'Wait a minute... if it was a problem with these two things then the plant shouldn't have grown in the first place. Since it grew first then died, then it must have lacked something...'
"Like water..." Zenn said.
But, where was he going to get water?
He looked around and all he could see was a seemingly barren world with nothing else but earth and rocks. And when he thought about It, the greatest source of water nearby would be none other than himself.
So Zenn had an idea.
'Would my bodily fluids work?'
It seemed like a great idea so he put it into motion. Building up his saliva, he spat on his hands. Because she has not drunk water for quite some time, he could not spit out as much as he would have preferred. But Zenn had an idea.
It was then that the space on top of his hands seemingly distorted. And soon, an overflowing amount of saliva covered Zenn's hands.
'It looked less disgusting in my head.'
Then, the creator lord poured his 'holy water' on the ground. With the soil now dampened, he put another tiny sees inside.
Then, a repeat of what happened a few minutes ago happened again. But this time, the tree was able to grow well.
Instead of dying out in its infant stage, it really grew till it looked like a proper plant. Then, Zenn stopped accelerating its time. This was because the soil had long dried out. Of course, because of the time acceleration, the soil dried in mere seconds.
Without waiting for the plant to dry out, Zenn fed it some more 'holy water.'
...
About an hour later, the two goblins finally cought up with their lord. They did not know why he suddenly ran off, but try were curious to know. The lord did not stop them from following him, so he should not be bothered by them.
But when they reached their lord, they never expected to see this.
Near their sitting lord, many trees of different size stood upright. Some looked normal but many were tens of meters.
What was most shocking was the 'little plant' that was at least 50 meters tall. Unlike the some few other plants around It, it was not fully grown. One could only wonder how big it actually could be if it fully grew.
