Deep within the Ant Nest, in the Royal Chamber.
Dragon Cypress placed the metal canister containing the sealed One-Glimpse Fruit onto the throne's cushion, unscrewed the lid, held the canister gently with both claws, and slowly extended two tentacles inside, retrieving the fruit.
The wooden shell of the fruit was very hard.
It was covered in lots of Bee King Jelly—a shame to waste it.
A dozen or so Blue Ants came forward, licking it off to swallow, then regurgitated it back into the canister.
—The most extraordinary Divine-Grade Fruit known to date!
Dragon Cypress turned the One-Glimpse Fruit over in his claws, mental power straining to probe its interior, but he could only sense a highly condensed mass of surging primordial energy, unable to discern the true nature of the kernel.
After pondering for a while,
Dragon Cypress, careful as ever, activated the Rend ability, primordial energy gathering at his claw tips, and gently sliced around the middle of the fruit.
