[281,947 AP!]
When Zaydas saw this value for having created Little Garden, he felt like laughing out loud.
'Not even Kaido was worth this much...' he thought.
The simple fact of bringing Little Garden to life earned him a value even greater than a golden finger of a protagonist like Issei.
Little Garden has a total of 10 special abilities.
One of them is the golden fruits, which are even better than any other he has ever planted. Although they hadn't grown yet and he hadn't tasted them, he had no doubt about it.
Another was the 'room' ability. Both the entire trunk of Little Garden and its branches can be divided into rooms.
These rooms can be as large as a country or island, depending on the intention of the branches, or even if the area of the trunk itself is used.
Another ability is fire. With it, it is possible to create an artificial sun in each room if desired. But it also had the mirror and reflect ability. Capable of mirroring and reflecting attacks directed at Little Garden, as well as being able to reflect the outside area, simulating an open-sky scenario.
Another ability was nurture. Able to consume any type of energy source, be it the sea itself or even attacks, and transform it into nutrients for Little Garden.
Each ability was carefully chosen by Zaydas with the intention of creating an impeccable fortress.
Even if he was in another dimension, he wouldn't need to worry about the safety of Little Garden, being able to even use shielding or even illusion abilities to deceive those who wanted to harm Little Garden.
Of course, the most important ability, as well as the real purpose of creating Little Garden, was 'Link'. An ability that, although it may seem simple, thanks to it, it is possible to connect other dimensions to Little Garden, thus even creating a new branch that will be the 'bridge' that links Little Garden to another dimension.
Touching the trunk of Little Garden, Zaydas entered the main room.
"This..."
Taking a deep breath, Zaydas felt like he had never breathed air so pure.
Looking around, he saw an expanse that seemed almost endless inside.
At 15,000 meters in altitude, Zaydas had Little Garden use the mirror and reflect ability, soon the sky outside was reflected in the 'sky' inside Little Garden's room.
"Fantastic!"
Although he knew in theory that it would work, only in practice did he put it to the test.
The sky was incredibly realistic; if he hadn't known it was fake, he could have been fooled by it.
With 3,000 km of extension from north to south, Zaydas began to develop his future plans to make this room look less empty.
By the way, this was the central room of the tree that occupied the entire trunk. He had a vague idea of allowing only those closest to him to access this area.
"Little Garden, door to exit."
There was a fluctuation in the air, and soon a door was generated in front of Zaydas. It was a brown door with a tree drawn on it, resembling Little Garden in the center of the door.
Touching the handle, Zaydas opened the door.
When he passed through the door, he appeared outside Little Garden.
'Very well, this ability is also working well,' he thought.
Door Ability, capable of creating doors throughout the entire area of Little Garden and linking to the outside.
This ability will also be the link that will make it possible to connect other dimensions. Opening doors in other dimensions to the branches linked to Little Garden.
Seeing that everything was working according to his plans, Zaydas couldn't be happier.
He wouldn't have minded if it had failed, but obviously, he wouldn't be disappointed if it worked correctly without needing any substantial adjustments.
Although he needed to do a few things here and there, it wasn't to fix flaws but rather because he had new ideas to improve it even further.
Putting everything aside for now, he was finally going to put the real purpose of creating Little Garden into practice.
In his hand, a piece of Little Garden's root appeared.
Jumping between Dimensions, Zaydas went back and forth from TSSDK after planting and accelerating the growth of an identical tree, only a smaller version, in TSSDK in the garden of his mansion.
When he returned, he recreated the barriers that had disappeared for a moment when he left.
Although he had spent almost 1 hour in TSSDK, in One Piece time seemed to have frozen.
However, the barrier was still sustained by his power and, when he left, even though it took so little time to return, several had a glimpse of Little Garden before it disappeared again.
Not caring about the possible chaos he had started, Zaydas said after messing up his hair and stopping using [Perception Manipulation]: 'Great Sage, do it.'
[-100 thousand AP!]
The instant his AP was deducted, a new branch at the top of Little Garden began to grow splendidly.
Unlike the thin branches, this was a more robust and longer branch.
Beautiful golden leaves appeared; even sprouts of golden fruits.
[Announcement! Master, the connection with the dimension of [Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken] has been successfully established!!]
"Perfect!" Zaydas smiled.
Soon, he mentally commanded to go to the area destined for the TSSDK dimension.
When he appeared, it was like the trunk of Little Garden at the beginning.
After some adjustments, he nodded in satisfaction.
The reality was that even though it was just a branch, the size was still larger than the space in the trunk of Little Garden.
No wonder 100 thousand AP was needed. The creation of this room and the cost to establish a connection capable of traveling between dimensions could not come without a high cost.
Next was Isekai Nonbiri Nouka. The cost was lower, costing 30 thousand AP to establish a connection with Little Garden.
Followed by My Hero Academia, Naruto, DC, and finally, his own dimension.
[-300 thousand AP!]
An absurd amount, but his origin dimension was even superior to TSSDK, so it could be seen as reasonable.
This time, when a new branch grew, twenty golden fruits grew on this same branch.
Going outside and looking at the golden fruits that were his size, Zaydas picked one of them.
Even picking it required a bit of strength.
Something that, if he used the same amount of strength, he could tear Kaido in half.
'Not everyone will be able to pick these fruits...' Zaydas thought.
However, he didn't intend to depend on others to pick the golden fruits that appeared in Little Garden anyway.
After cutting a piece and taking a bite... Zaydas's eyes lit up.
'This is at least ten times tastier than the previous golden fruits and... I feel my strength increasing a bit.'
Being able to help improve his physical strength with a simple piece shows how special these golden fruits were.
However, he thought: 'Will the golden fruits on all the branches have the same quality?'
It is necessary to consider that this golden fruit was born thanks to his origin dimension. In other words, a dimension even above High Rank.
Anyway, he entered the room of this branch. There, he saw a space three times larger than that of TSSDK.
'I don't know if I'll ever need to use so much space, but... it's never too much.' Zaydas thought.
In total, he spent 520,000 AP.
'It hurts a little, but I feel it was very well spent.'
Now, he needed to do the last test...
Use the 'door between dimensions' and test whether it would be possible or not to travel between dimensions.
"Little Garden, create a door to TSSDK." Zaydas said.
Under Zaydas's command, a door appeared.
It was similar to the one he saw before, but this one seemed something more fantastical.
When he opened and passed through the door, he found himself in front of the tree he had just planted in TSSDK.
