Minerva returned to her pocket dimension, her mind buzzing with the possibilities this new ability presented. The small, malleable space responded to her very thoughts, shimmering with potential. She took a deep breath, feeling the unique energy that permeated this personal realm.

The time dilation effect was particularly intriguing. Minerva realized that she could spend hours, even days, training and developing her abilities while only a fraction of that time passed in the outside world. This would be crucial for her plans to master her newly unlocked cosmic powers without neglecting her duties as the ruler of the Khal'tor system.
She began by experimenting with the basic structure of the dimension, using her fledgling Galactic Floramancy to create a small garden of cosmic plants. As she focused her will, vibrant, otherworldly flora sprouted from the very fabric of the pocket dimension. Iridescent leaves unfurled, pulsing with energy, while crystalline flowers bloomed, their petals refracting light in impossible ways.
These plants thrived in the unique environment, their otherworldly properties providing Minerva with a source of energy and inspiration. She could feel her connection to them growing stronger with each passing moment, her Galactic Floramancy ability slowly but steadily improving.

As she worked, Minerva's mind raced with possibilities. She realized that the pocket dimension could be expanded and enriched by incorporating rare materials and energy sources. Each addition would not only increase the size and stability of the space but also enhance its capabilities, potentially allowing for even greater time dilation and more complex manipulations of reality within its borders.
Minerva set her sights on gathering these resources, knowing that each acquisition would bring her closer to creating a fully functional world within her pocket dimension. Her first target was a nearby asteroid field, rumored to contain energy crystals of immense power. These crystals, formed in the heart of dying stars, were said to hold enough energy to power entire civilizations.
Using her Multidimensional Tactics, Minerva devised a plan to retrieve the crystals. She dispatched a team of her most trusted advisors, equipping them with the best technology the Khal'tor system had to offer. As she coordinated the mission from within her pocket dimension, Minerva felt her strategic abilities sharpening, the complexities of multidimensional planning becoming clearer with each decision.

While her team was away, Minerva continued to train within the pocket dimension. She focused on her Cosmic Entomancy, gradually increasing the complexity and size of the swarms she could control. Starting with a handful of glowing, cosmic insects, she worked tirelessly to expand her influence. Soon, intricate patterns of bioluminescent swarms danced through the air, responding to her every thought and gesture.

Not content with mastering just one ability, Minerva turned her attention to her Celestial Botanics. She began synthesizing new remedies and potions from the plants she had cultivated, each concoction more potent than the last. The unique properties of the cosmic flora allowed her to create substances with effects that defied the laws of nature as she knew them.

As she worked, Minerva could feel her connection to the pocket dimension growing stronger. The space seemed to pulse in rhythm with her own heartbeat, responding to her emotions and desires. She realized that this realm was becoming an extension of herself, a physical manifestation of her growing cosmic power.
When her team finally returned with the energy crystals, Minerva was eager to integrate them into her pocket dimension. With careful precision, she placed the crystals at key points throughout the space, using her growing knowledge of cosmic energies to create a harmonious arrangement.
The effect was immediate and dramatic. The pocket dimension expanded, its borders pushing outward as if taking a deep breath. The air seemed to shimmer with increased energy, and Minerva could feel the very fabric of the space becoming more stable and responsive to her will.

Exhilarated by this success, Minerva's mind raced with possibilities. She began to plan even more ambitious expeditions, setting her sights on gathering rare herbs from the farthest reaches of the Khal'tor system, ancient artifacts rumored to hold incredible power, and even samples of exotic matter from the hearts of distant nebulae.
Each addition, she knew, would bring her closer to creating a fully functional world within her pocket dimension. She envisioned a realm where the laws of physics could be rewritten at will, where time flowed differently in various regions, and where she could simulate entire civilizations to test her strategies and hone her abilities as a ruler.
As she continued to experiment and expand her pocket dimension, Minerva also recognized its potential as a secret weapon. This hidden realm could serve as an undetectable base of operations, a place to retreat and recover if needed, or even a prison for her most dangerous enemies.
The possibilities seemed endless, limited only by her imagination and her ability to gather the necessary resources. Minerva smiled to herself, feeling a sense of excitement she hadn't experienced since her early days of discovering her powers. This pocket dimension was more than just a tool or a training ground—it was a key to unlocking her full potential as the Celestial Tyrant.
As she prepared to return to the outside world and face the challenges of ruling her growing empire, Minerva took one last look around her pocket dimension. The cosmic garden pulsed with life, the energy crystals hummed with power, and the very air seemed to crackle with possibility. This was just the beginning, she knew. With time, patience, and the right resources, this small pocket of reality would grow into something truly magnificent—a world of her own creation, a testament to her power and vision.
With renewed determination, Minerva stepped through the portal back into her palace. The Summit of Power awaited, and with it, the next step in her journey towards cosmic dominion. But now she had a secret advantage, a place where time was on her side and where the very laws of reality bent to her will. The age of the Celestial Tyrant had truly begun, and the universe would never be the same.
