Within the ring world, Jack observed Luna sitting thoughtfully on a couch outside the villa, surrounded by brand items, gold, and diamond jewelry sent by him.
Upon seeing Jack in front of her, Luna jumped from the couch, hurriedly appearing beside him, and hugged him tightly. "Husband, you're back! Thankfully, you're fine."
Jack patted her head affectionately and kissed her. "Don't worry, nothing can happen to me. If I'm in danger, I can run away."
Luna nodded happily. Jack then added, "Wife, cook something for me. I'm hungry."
With a nod, Luna walked inside the castle. Jack glanced at the furniture and items outside the villa, including closed containers. "It seems Luna can't open those," he thought, shaking his head and waving his hands.
All the furniture and items were sent inside the castle, fully decorating it. Luna smiled, looking at the kitchen filled with a variety of ingredients, and happily started preparing lunch.
Jack stood beside the containers, inspecting and sending usable items one by one inside the castle. After a while, he nodded in satisfaction, closed the containers, and appeared beside the livestock and cubs. He observed cute sheep, goats, buffalo, chickens, ducks in their fences and offered them food. "Well, after raising you for a while, I'll leave you guys in the wild to multiply."
Looking at the green forests on his planet, Jack remarked, "It's still small. Around 4 kilometers of water, 6 kilometers of land, with almost 2 kilometers of forest area, and 1 kilometer of land area occupied by lakes and rivers."
Leaving 3 kilometers for living, Jack activated his abilities—Life, Wood, and Water. Instantly, tree saplings sprouted around the world, grass grew everywhere, even around the castle. The planet turned full green, surprising Jack. He sensed tea plants, cocoa, fruit trees, vegetables, vines, flowers, and even those hard-to-grow plants sprouting and growing.
After a while, Jack frowned, realizing the trees grew to only 1 meter and stopped. Taking a breath, he felt his energy exhausted.
"Well, I should replenish first and then grow them again."
"Husband, what happened? Why are there plants and grass growing everywhere?" Luna was confused, She was preparing lunch, while the world outside transformed, inexplicably,
Jack smiled, "I can control everything in this world easily, including time and the growth of all things."
"You're amazing," Luna exclaimed, looking at Jack with admiration.
"Come, lunch is ready," Luna said with a smile. Jack nodded and walked inside the castle with her. Looking at the simple dishes, he smiled and started eating. "Well, it's delicious."
"Thank you," Luna replied happily, started eating, then asked curiously, "How is the outside world now?"
Jack's expression became solemn as he shared the details of the end and his recent encounter.
"What if only 1 million humans out of billions survive, Husband? Nightwalkers are dangerous. Why don't we stay here permanently? Don't go out," Luna's face turned pale, expressing concern with worry-filled eyes.
Shaking his head, Jack replied solemnly, "No, I have to go. Although this is my exclusive world, our real living world is outside. Even if we stay here for life, we can't run away from that reality."
Luna nodded with a thoughtful face and then said solemnly, "But you must protect yourself outside. Run away if you encounter danger."
Jack smiled at her solemn reminder, nodded happily, and said, "Yes, Miss. Don't worry. Why don't you go out with me to see the destruction and chaos outside?"
Luna's face turned pale, and she shook her head. "I will not go. I like this world very much. I will help you manage inside; you can manage outside."
Jack was surprised. "Are you sure?"
Luna nodded and added, "I am weak, and I will become a burden for you outside. Also, I don't like fighting."
Jack nodded and then glanced in the direction outside through the castle window while drinking coffee.
Looking at the iron piece in his hand, he pondered, "There is a lot of iron in the outside world. I can extract iron from anywhere, buildings or even particles from the land to create an iron block with metal control."
Metal and Fire!
Jack modified the iron block into a few bullets filled with compressed fire energy inside, looking at ready 9mm bullets with limited compressed fire inside.
Filling them inside the magazine, he walked outside the villa, aimed at a target rock.
Boom!
The gun blasted in his hand, and iron pieces flew around, but the fire was contained in a limited place by Jack.
Looking at his intact hand, now with an attribute of 78, his body is 78 times tougher and stronger than ordinary humans. Such a blast can't damage his skin now; only a third-level Nightwalker can damage him.
Jack estimated he might be the only one with a 1 trillion strength attribute at the 10th level because of his ten times basic strength after baptism.
Every Evolver has different attributes from 1st to 10th level. A 10th level evolver and Nightwalker can destroy a 10,000-kilometer area instantly. That's why there were only 8 humans and 4 beasts, 4 Nightwalkers, 10th level evolver after seven years. Each race checks and balances each other; there may be hidden 10th level evolvers, but he didn't know.
1st to 3rd level evolver and Nightwalker use basic abilities, with damage range from 10 meters to 100 meters.
3rd to 6th level use medium abilities, with damage range from 100 meters to 1 km.
6th to 9th level use high abilities, with damage range from 1 km to 10 km.
10th level evolvers are different; all their abilities reach the top. For example, a simple fire ability will evolve into something like an inextinguishable Flame, Lightning Flame, etc., with unlimited firepower.
All abilities and damage range of 10th level evolvers are in the 100 to 10,000 km range, depending on what kind of ability they evolve. That's why they say no amount of 9th evolvers is enough for one 10th level evolver.
Jack was very envious of those 10th level evolvers; he would always think about his synthesis ability evolution after 10th level, but life played a game with him.
Jack sighed and shook his head, "Well, leave it alone. This time I will reach the 10th level at all costs." Looking at the gun in his hand, it started melting and repairing. After a while, an intact gun appeared in his hand.
Looking at the bullets filled with limited fire, "After trigger and pin strike, the bullet bursts inside the gun," Jack became thoughtful, thinking of pressure and limits.
"Which element combination can give me a perfect ammo?" Jack muttered. "Also, I should synthesize the next weapon for myself."
