A 'small' breakthrough

He activated [Absolute Time] and accelerated the time of the clothes and the remains, to the point that nothing was left but dust and ashes that quickly dispersed into the air and ground. He collected the red sphere as well as the elemental crystal.

It seems he has opened another avenue of possible profit: elemental crystals. With [Space Crush] he could create them in batches; he also wondered: if the range of [Space Crush] increases to the point of covering a whole planet, or even an astral star, would he be able to create a black hole?

Although he could naturally create them, as well as spatial rifts and spatial blades, but he technically has no self-made skill for them, meaning the effect is not controlled. Even when he was booby-trapping the entrances to his underground laboratory, he had to test several times in isolated space the spatial blades and rifts he made, to ensure they were at the right size to be deadly and undetectable to anyone.

He observed the elemental crystal formed as well as the red sphere; could the latter be a solidified magic sphere? Xander thought to himself, curious about its purpose and function. It could be a simple amalgamy of blood, bones and tissues of the person, solidifying into a red sphere because of the spell. He tried injecting a bit of magical power in the red sphere, which immediately started to show runic writing and quickly vibrated.

Xander saw this, and unhesitatingly, he threw it into the marsh, before his face paled and realized his mistake.

Wait, isn't there a sprite living here? Damn it! Xander immediately utilized the space elements to surround the sphere and time elements to attempt to reverse the activation of runic writings. Seeing the time elements barely reversing it, Xander sighed before he teleported the orb with him into an uninhabited planet 15 light years away, and escaping into the space outside the planet within a matter of seconds.

A few seconds later, a bright, pulsating light began to emanate from the red sphere, covering the surface of the planet with a round, red light roughly with a diameter of 5000 kilometers. From afar, it looked like a giant pimple.

However, Xander the elemental fluctuations Xander could feel surprised him. The elements... these were elements above the space-time, yin-yang, and life-death elements, suppressing him!

Order and Chaos elements!! Xander was in ecstasy; such a close, raw exposure to the two was a rare situation. Immediately, he began to change his position into a better form and location, a bit closer to the red sphere radius.

He immediately began delving into understanding the mysteries of the 2 elements that beget the three pairs in the Origin series of elements.

Seconds became days, days became years. But this was because the time deceleration field... covered the whole planet. Although he could only touch living things to slow down their characteristics, non-living things were a different story. As he had earlier confirmed that there was no sign of life, not even sprites, not even microorganisms, existed in the planet and the space nearby, where he was located.

He slowed the flow of time of the area of the planet, but accelerated his body's time, to understand and deconstruct the runic writings, the representations and numerous conformations creation element can bring forth.

Inside the red sphere, it was a different story than the rest of the planet; a few sprouts of green appeared, before grasses began to grow, turning into a fertile green plain, before trees began to grow and disseminate over the area; slowly, the trees began to grow and thrive, changing into different species, some of the grass became different types of flowers, these flowers began to bore fruits as well as the trees. All of this happened in the span of less than 5 minutes.

After the trees, the grass, the flowers were thriving, more and more things started to appear; there were vines, there were puddles of water slowly coalescing into a small pond, small rivers diverging from the said pond. The mountainous peaks were becoming covered in lush greenery, with more different species of plants appearing. The red sphere wasn't a border that stopped them from growing; they were rapidly growing more and more from the red sphere outward, producing enough chemical products that produce the formation of the atmosphere. More and more water sources are also appearing outside the red sphere, but more diversity and evolution occurred inside the red sphere.

However, this process of creation didn't continue for so long; some of the vines were parasitic, as well as the other plant species formed. Slowly they killed the other plants, devouring their nutrients to survive, before heading to the next hosts. They also became a victim of parasitism, and they died as well. However, as more plants died, more were born.

Slowly, the leftover materials were transforming into some kind of source of energy, an amalgamy of life present. Elements converged into this source of energy, and microbial organisms were born. Viruses, bacteria, eukaryotes, and prokaryotes rapidly grew and diversified from these ancient microbial organisms, as if guided by something, but their growth and evolution was skewed.

After another 5 minutes, the first multi-cellular lifeform was formed: It was a worm that survived in the pond, living its life there. Slowly, more and more of these worms appeared, and some of them began their path to evolution. Worms became small fishes, fishes became amphibians that could move in both land and water, and these amphibians diversified into more and more land and air species.

It was quite weird; technically, Xander's power wasn't able to affect living things, which included plants. However, the time acceleration the surrounded the planet was changing; it was being controlled by something beyond Xander…

Continuing, some of them began to move further and further from the red sphere, producing byproducts that reinforced the atmosphere as well. After a total of 12 minutes, the red sphere shimmered before collapsing on its own, the red dome parts manifesting into physical items.

Immediately, Xander utilized the space elements and carried the physical shards to his location, and began to observe them, realizing that they contained both Order and Chaos elements, solidified into runic writing. He then placed them in his spatial storage, planning to comprehend more of these shards in the future. This was a fruitful trip.

Not only did he gain enlightenment to the Order and Chaos elements, he could feel that his space-time and the other 2 sets of elements, yin-yang and life-death comprehensions also increased.

He immediately left the newly-terraformed planet, leaving it to its own devices. It was a pity, though, that he had removed the bodies of the other legendaries. He might have gained more of that red sphere if he hadn't removed them.

In the marshlands, deep in the largest marsh.

"Huh? It seems that powerful guy already disappeared." A young looking humanoid female was lounging on her bed, playing with her phone. Her hair was dark green, with her face and skin pale in tone. This was the poison sprite Xander was looking out for, Ehlena. She looked like a teenager, but in truth, she was thousands and thousands of years old.

"Who was that human? Grandpa Tree didn't tell me to watch out for that person." Ehlena muttered to herself, before checking the surveillance she recorded. She then compared it to the database that Elves had on human beings of interest, and after a few minutes, she found a match.

"Homer Simpson. Hmm. That's weird, this person was listed as a low priority, but the power he showcased..." Ehlena visibly shuddered at the thought.

She could still feel the magical fluctuations in the area as if permanently leaving a scar in the environment. It was slowly distorting the area above the marsh. It wasn't noticeable at first, but as more and more years, centuries, millennia would pass, time would continue to slow down in that area, to the point of stopping. However, there was also a power that was slowly repairing it, a power beyond the planet… Ehlena wasn't sure how to describe it, but it felt vast and immense, yet at the same time empty. It gave her a scary feeling.

Of course, for now, Ehlena only thought that something was done in the elemental properties of the area, causing one's movements to slow down as well as cycling elemental energy from outside and inside the body.

The good thing was that it was limited to a few tens of square meters, so Ehlena didn't have to move about or ask for help from Grandpa Tree.

In fact, she wasn't even sure if Grandpa Tree could resolve the problem.

Ehlena, however, filed for a change in priority for Homer Simpson, raising it to medium level priority. She had a feeling that there was more than what meets the eye to this person.

Maybe the Elven queen can solve the problem after receiving guidance from Grandpa Tree? Hmm, oh well, it wasn't her matter now. She simply fortified her home before settling to a meditative state later on.

Xander's first day was tiring. There was just too many things happening.

He checked his stats once he returned to his room in the hotel. That breakthrough in the marshlands was unexpected, as well as the sudden enlightenment he received about space-time and the Order and Chaos elements, and although he almost started a fight with the sprite and had an encounter with depraved people, it seemed that all is well. He was a bit surprised upon seeing his information, as there seemed to be some changes.
