Chapter 4 - Fasting Potion

Ebraham walked to the excess magic liquid and plunged his hand into it. Visible threads appeared around his hand and it spread to his body. They weaved among each other, creating a white robe.

Ebraham moved to his next agenda, which was to create Fasting Potion, a nutritious blend for the pregnant mother and her babies. A Fasting Potion was enough to support human nutrition consumption for one day while still feeling energized after. It was small, easy to carry and eliminated the need for excretion. A necessity during wartime, but Ebraham planned on using it in this situation.

Using his Domain, he had noted the location of each known plants and animals that were suitable for human consumption. Starting with plants, he dug out a sample of each plant along with its soil, while still remaining inside of the pillar.

'Domain' is a pinnacle magic technique for each Master featured by their specialty. A thunder element Master would normally have a 'Thunder Domain'. A wind element Magic Sword Master would probably have a 'Sword Storm Domain'. As a Master of Golem and Automata, Ebraham did not have a battle type Domain, instead he has Telekinesis Domain. It granted him ability to move anything within his Domain with his mind. It was especially useful when building things.

Ebraham went outside and stretch his hand forward.

"Lightspeed"

Blink.

Suddenly a variety of plants appeared in front of him in a neat line. They floated in the ball of barriers.

It was a displacement magic that transfer him at the speed of light. But combined with his Domain, he grasped something with telekinesis and moved it at light speed instead. The barrier was there to protect the item from the impact of moving at light speed.

He looked at a grass with yellow grain. It was ancestor rice. He had collected the whole soil as not to damage the root system.

Then he looked at another grass but with yellow kernel. It was ancestor wheat.

There were millets, corns, oats, cabbages, lettuces, sweet potatoes etc. All of these known edible plants were the inhabitant of blue planet. Although they were different from their modern counterparts, Ebraham could still deduced plants' identities. As for the ancient plants in fifth planet, he still needs some time to do an extensive study on them.

As for the animals, Ebraham only caught a few fish for protein and vitamin supply.

Ebraham modified the recipe of Fasting Potion into milder magical energy and higher nutrition. So that, the mother that was adapting to magical energy would not be affected and the babies that was growing more muscle would get enough nutrition.

After the Fasting Potion was completed, Ebraham fed it to the young woman.

While he was at it, he made a patient gown with Magic Thread from the excess magic liquid.

Unlike conjured magic that disappeared after some time the magic supply ended; magic liquid stayed in liquid state because magical energy stuck with each other in granular scale due to 'Mana Seed'. 'Mana Seed' was a gas particle that lingered at the surface of the ground and replenished the soil's magic level by precipitated the magical energy into magic liquid drops then seeped into the ground.

By manipulating the 'Mana Seed', magical energy could turn into liquid matter and even solid matter. So, clothes made by Magic Thread of magic liquid did not have concern that it would disappear after a period of time. There were other advantages like the clothes would not worn out or easier to enhanced but that would be discussed later.

Ebraham made a loose patient gown that was suitable for the young woman's growing stomach. The bulge was not that apparent as she was only one third of her term, but it will be bulging in the future. Ebraham changed the young woman into her patient gown and stored her belongings inside the chamber.

Ebraham walked out of the pillar and examined the structure of the pillar. With his body as reference, Ebraham came to a complete understanding of the pillar's size.

"This thing really is big huh."

Other than the central part that was needed for 'Celestial Vanguard: Vega', most of its structure was not that important. It could be minimized.

But thinking again, Ebraham decided to keep it as it is and change the inside of it instead.

Ebraham planned to carve a few halls in it and cultivate the plants that he collected. He could turn it into a greenhouse with controlled climate and temperature. He could breed them into high-yield corps that rivalled to its modern counterparts.

With a two kilometers wide and eight kilometers high sky-scraping pillar, Ebraham had plenty of available spaces to utilize into useful facilities. Not to mention the remaining 12km deep buried part of the pillar.

If that part was also utilized, including the necessary facilities, one pillar might able to support 50 million population with ease. That was at least the same number of populations of a small empire. Though it was just a hypothetical situation, that itself was already amazing.

However, Ebraham would first need to study about those plants in the wild. He even needs to study about the world and everything in it. There many things to discover and explore. He still had a long journey ahead of him.

Unknown to Ebraham, his decision to keep the pillar as it is was the greatest blessing to his growing empire in the future.

When Ebraham taught that he would finally have a chance for a breather, he noticed an aggressive behaviour from the ancient primordial beasts outside of the barrier.

These ancient primordial beasts were expelled hundreds of kilometers from their habitat when the 'Celestial Vanguard: Vega' was activated. The weaker beasts were terrified by such sudden strange phenomenon. But the stronger ancient primordial beasts were pissed by it.

That was especially so to the hegemon of the area. The biggest and strongest ancient primordial beast: a 200 meter long, five-meter diameter serpent-type ancient primordial beast. It also had the highest value in magical energy.

Ebraham decided to called the giant serpent-type ancient primordial beast Tenebrous Titanoboa because of its dark colour. Looking at its size, this Tenebrous Titanoboa could easily swallow an elephant whole as a snack. Other ten-meter ancient primordial beasts compared to it were like kids to the adult. If human joined in the comparison, they were like ants to the Tenebrous Titanoboa.

Its magical energy value was also much higher than Ancient Dragon, the apex predator of magical beast kingdom in Ebraham's previous world. So, he decided to categorized this ancient primordial beast as Beyond-Dragon-Level ancient primordial beast.

That was his early assessment of Tenebrous Titanoboa discounted the fact that physical capabilities, magic skills and special abilities were not included in his assessment.

Roar!

Tenebrous Titanoboa let out a deafening roar in aggressive manner. The roar carried a majestic pressure of a lord and petrified other ancient primordial beasts that heard it. The ancient primordial beasts hurriedly run away when they could control their body again.

Woosh!

Tenebrous Titanoboa turned and slithered towards the barrier almost at the speed of sound. Its size and weight did not hinder its movement at all, instead it carried mass of strong muscle and high magical energy improving its movement speed.

Bang!

The giant serpent loudly crashed into the barrier. Ten-meter-long cracks appeared like cobweb on the barrier because of the impact. Though the cracks immediately covered, it was apparent to how powerful Tenebrous Titanoboa was. Its casual batter had caused a Celestial-Class barrier to crack.
