Inside the hollow trunk of the Spirit Tree, Caelum looked up at the green fruits growing overhead.

Then he spoke to Zadamor.

"It sounds noisy outside. Go see what’s happening."

"Yes, Commander."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions of compressed air echoed nonstop.

Several figures clashed violently, flashing across the battlefield at incredible speeds.

Jared had managed to break through the officers’ blockade, but more Legion officers quickly arrived and surrounded him completely.

He was forced into battle.

Three against one.

And all three officers possessed battle power close to his own.

Jared struggled badly.

Within moments, injuries had already begun piling up.

His situation was rapidly turning dire.

Then, in the middle of the high speed exchange, an energy blast struck Jared directly.

Boom!

He was blasted into the ground and crashed directly in front of Zadamor, who had just stepped out from the Spirit Tree’s hollow trunk.

Zadamor frowned.

"With this many people, you still couldn’t stop one human?"

The officers immediately lowered their heads.

"Our apologies, Commander!"

Jared’s eyes lit up slightly.

He realized the person before him was clearly one of the Legion’s higher ranking leaders.

Quickly, he said,

"Sir, I came here to join your Legion! With my battle power, I’m sure I can be useful..."

Before he could finish, Zadamor interrupted coldly.

"We don’t need you."

Jared froze.

Still unwilling to give up, he continued desperately.

"I don’t mind starting as cannon fodder. As long as you let me join your group..."

Boom!

Jared’s voice stopped abruptly.

Zadamor’s fist slammed into his stomach.

The violent impact made Jared cough blood instantly.

His body folded forward in agony, unable to speak.

He nearly blacked out on the spot.

So fast!

Jared had not even seen the attack clearly.

Only now did he fully understand what the God meant by "absolutely impossible to defeat."

This was not a battle he could win.

One strike alone had completely destroyed his ability to resist.

"As punishment for disturbing the Commander, you might as well die here."

"What did you think we were? Some kind of cosmic sightseeing tour anyone can casually join?"

Bzzzt—

A sphere of light slowly gathered in Zadamor’s hand before engulfing Jared completely.

Until the moment he died, Jared never even got to see the Legion’s so called Commander.

"What a shame..."

Jared muttered weakly.

Since he came here willingly, he had already prepared himself mentally.

This outcome did not surprise him much.

At the very least, he had witnessed the power of true cosmic warriors.

Worst case scenario, he would simply start over.

Jared died.

Dilva Planet’s God sensed it immediately and let out a deep sigh.

He had known from the beginning that recklessly approaching this group would most likely end badly. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Still, even though Jared had died, the strength he brought back to reality would not disappear.

The only consequence was that until he restarted and regained his previous 20000 battle power, any new strength he earned in Super Universe would temporarily remain inaccessible in reality.

The next day.

Inside the Spirit Tree’s hollow trunk, the entire upper chamber had turned bright crimson.

Every fruit had fully ripened.

Caelum first removed the newly grown Spirit Tree seed.

Then he picked one fruit and swallowed it.

Boom!

The aura inside his body exploded upward instantly.

[Battle Power Increased]

[Battle Power: 630000]

Because Dilva Planet possessed extraordinarily rich life force, the Spirit Fruits grown here were significantly more powerful.

A single fruit increased Caelum’s battle power by 100,000.

The same principle could be observed among the planet’s Martial Artists.

A world lacking sufficient life force could never produce fighters with battle power reaching thousands or even tens of thousands.

Excitement flashed through Caelum’s eyes.

"So I was right."

Just as Zadamor had said, the consumption limit only applied to fruits produced from the same tree.

As long as he kept planting new Spirit Trees, the limitation meant nothing.

Moments later, Caelum consumed the tenth Spirit Fruit and reached the limit once more.

[Battle Power Increased]

[Battle Power: 1,530,000]

1530000 battle power.

And that was only his normal state.

Footsteps echoed softly.

Caelum slowly walked out from the Spirit Tree’s hollow trunk.

The overwhelming aura radiating from his body distorted the surrounding air itself.

Cold sweat instantly broke out across the officers’ faces.

Boom—

Without suppressing himself anymore, Caelum fully released his aura.

The clouds above were blown apart instantly, leaving behind a massive hole in the sky.

The ground cracked open.

Broken stones floated upward under the pressure alone.

The officers stared in horror.

"The Commander’s aura got even stronger!"

"Zadamor."

"Yes, Commander!"

Caelum tossed him a Spirit Fruit casually.

"You decide who gets this one."

"Yes!"

The officers’ eyes burned with greed immediately.

Every gaze locked onto the fruit in Zadamor’s hand.

After glancing across the gathered officers, Zadamor directly tossed the fruit toward the officer who had worked hardest to stop Jared earlier.

"Atest. This one’s yours."

"Thank you, Commander!"

Atest was the officer who had seized the opportunity earlier to blast Jared down with an energy attack.

His battle power was 20,000.

After consuming the fruit, he would likely rise to around 120,000 battle power.

Second only to Zadamor among the Legion officers.

Atest nearly exploded with excitement.

He grabbed the fruit and devoured it immediately while the other officers watched with pure envy.

Boom!

The moment he finished eating, Atest’s battle power skyrocketed to 120,000.

An instant increase of 100,000.

The other officers’ eyes practically turned red with jealousy.

Caelum casually flicked an energy blast outward, destroying the entire Spirit Tree along with all remaining fruits.

Then his body slowly floated into the sky.

"Zadamor, contact those information brokers and space pirates."

"I want the next life bearing planet located as soon as possible."

"Understood."

After giving the order, Caelum vanished into the horizon and flew directly toward Dilva Planet’s Heavenly Realm.

Moments later, a floating temple appeared before his eyes.

His gaze landed upon a lone figure standing before the temple.

It was an alien whose appearance differed from humans.

The God of Dilva Planet.

Caelum spoke calmly.

"You were the one spying on me earlier, right?"

"If I’m not mistaken, you’re this planet’s God?"

He had read information about planetary gods on the Super Universe forums before, so he already had a general understanding of them.

"Outsider..."

A bead of sweat slid down the God’s forehead.

After a long silence, he answered honestly.

"I am indeed this planet’s God."

"If my earlier actions offended you in any way, I’m willing to bear whatever punishment you demand."

"I only ask that you spare this planet."

If Caelum had harvested every Spirit Fruit, Dilva Planet’s life force would have been completely exhausted.

Fortunately, he had not done so.

Instead, he destroyed the remaining fruits, allowing the unused life force to return to the planet itself.

Because of that, life on Dilva Planet still had a chance to survive.

What the God feared most was Caelum casually firing an energy blast and destroying the entire planet.

At his current level of power, Dilva Planet had absolutely no ability to resist.

Caelum replied calmly,

"I’m not interested in destroying planets."

"I came here because I was curious about you."

"And because I wanted to take something."

The God looked startled.

"What thing?"
