With the last traces of refinement settling in his core, Ace took a breath and stepped into the system space.
The familiar pull of weightlessness gripped him, his body drifting effortlessly between realms before landing in the heart of his domain.
The moment he arrived, his eyes swept over the area. The once-barren expanse had transformed into a well-organized settlement, with the Crystal Humans having fully integrated into their new environment.
At the center of it all, Lily stood, deep in conversation with a few familiar figures—Aqua, Yuu, Shane… and Rock?
Ace's gaze lingered on Yuu for a moment.
Yuu—the Divine Hoe—was a peculiar existence. He had named her himself, though its full capabilities remained unknown.
So far, Yuu had taken up residence in the herb garden, diligently tending to the plants with an almost obsessive focus.
Whatever its true potential was, Ace knew one thing: Yuu was far more than just a simple farming tool. The word divine was no joke!
