Nearby, everyone saw Takeru swallow the fruit and then remain silent. They quietly waited for Takeru to say something, without saying a word.
During this waiting period, more than ten minutes passed again. Takeru completely sensed that the fruit's strengthening effect had fully dissipated. He looked at his own attributes again.
He found that his Spirit attribute had actually increased by fifteen points in just over ten minutes. His other attributes had also increased by two to three points. It was clear that the strengthening effect was very significant.
"Alright, you all try it too." Sensing no adverse reactions, Takeru directly removed the fruit and distributed one to each person.
Miu, Ai, and the others, after receiving theirs, eagerly bit into them.
After distributing them, Takeru only had eight fruits left. As for Ryoma, Wendy, and Salamence, Takeru temporarily didn't give them any. However, he did give one to the humanoid Kumara.
Afterwards, Takeru attempted to infuse the Star Soul Fruit Tree with Senjutsu Chakra again.
But this time, no matter how much he infused, it wouldn't absorb anymore, as if it had entered a state of saturation.
Seeing this, Takeru was momentarily stunned but didn't persist. Perhaps this was the Star Soul Fruit Tree's self-protection mechanism.
After all, absorbing too much energy at once without being able to digest it might cause damage to itself.
Thinking this, Takeru no longer insisted on catalyzing it. However, just as he was about to leave, he seemed to remember something. He directly placed his hand on the Star Soul Fruit Tree and cast a special time acceleration ability on it.
Takeru directly accelerated the passage of time for the Star Soul Fruit Tree. This would not only make it grow faster but also allow it to digest the mana more quickly. In this way, perhaps it wouldn't be long before Takeru could catalyze it and harvest fruit again.
"Alright, everyone go back." After finishing everything, Takeru led everyone away.
Back in his room, Takeru went to the bathroom to take a hot bath, preparing to rest well.
As for Miu and the others, they were still digesting the energy of the Star Soul Fruit.
Unlike Takeru, who possessed powerful energy and a strong foundation allowing him to quickly digest the energy, they were different.
However, this wasn't a bad thing. During the energy strengthening process, their recovery abilities would be enhanced, acting like a beneficial buff.
"By the way, Miu, let me teach you a meditation method first. It allows you to sense and communicate with your own mana." Looking at Miu, who was lying on the bed playing with her phone, Takeru called out to her.
"Yes!" Hearing Takeru say he was going to teach her new knowledge, Miu sat up straight and composed herself.
"No need to be so nervous." Seeing Miu's actions, Takeru smiled and shook his head, then placed his hand on her head.
He then began to use his newly acquired Ultimate Skill, Shub-Niggurath. This was Takeru's first time using this skill, so he was somewhat unfamiliar with it.
However, as he used it, Takeru quickly understood it and copied his meditation skill, then chose to bestow it.
Miu, who had been curious about what Takeru was going to do, suddenly acquired a special skill. Although she didn't fully understand its essence, she was instinctively able to use it.
This feeling was like not knowing how to manufacture a phone but being able to use one. It was similar to the situation when Takeru and the others first acquired skills… they didn't understand the essence but could use them.
As for Takeru, after bestowing the ability, he found that a kind of connection had been established between him and Miu. It seemed he could retrieve her meditation skill at any time.
Having succeeded, Takeru withdrew his arm and looked at Miu. "How are you, Miu?"
"It's really strange. Although I don't quite understand it, it seems I can use it!" Hearing Takeru's inquiry, Miu quickly spoke up.
"Is that so? That's good. Then try practicing it tonight." Hearing her say this, Takeru directly stated.
"I understand." Upon hearing this, Miu nodded knowingly.
With that, Miu sat on the bed, closed her eyes, and began to meditate. Takeru observed from the side and soon noticed that Miu quickly entered a meditative state. Everything seemed to be going very smoothly.
After observing for a while and confirming everything was normal, Takeru resumed his research on the space he had developed.
However, it was completely different from the Slime World. The space Takeru had previously developed, which had begun to take shape, had disappeared. In its place seemed to be a new space.
Seeing this, Takeru was somewhat bewildered and then fell into deep thought, 'Perhaps the space I had developed before utilized the space of the Slime World, but since I had now changed worlds, that space could no longer be accessed?'
Although he wasn't entirely sure, Takeru considered this the most reasonable explanation. That meant that when he returned to that world, he could reopen the space he had already stabilized. But after switching worlds, he needed to start from scratch.
After roughly figuring this out, Takeru wasn't too disappointed. After all, if spaces could be shared, Takeru might have been able to exploit a glitch through shared space. He could place things in the shared space in advance and, upon arriving in a mission world, directly retrieve them from the shared space.
Even if he couldn't retrieve them, he could enter the shared space itself to use it.
Since they couldn't be shared, Takeru stopped dwelling on it. Instead, he resumed developing the space in the main world.
Because of his previous experience, this development was very rapid. Moreover, perhaps due to the difference in worlds, Takeru found that developing space in the main world was easier and more stable.
As time passed, one night went by. Takeru expanded his personal pocket dimension to over ten kilometers in radius, with a height of one kilometer. At the same time, he consumed over five hundred thousand mana to create air, soil, and rivers within the space.
Furthermore, he spent another hundred thousand to create an artificial sun. Although it couldn't compare to the immense energy of a real star in the real world, it was sufficient for the current width and height of the space.
Subsequently, he released one million mana, transforming it into the purest form of energy. This meant that magical training was now possible inside the space.
However, sensing the magic concentration, Takeru noted it was still much lower than that of the main world and the previously visited other world. Continuous effort was still needed.
Afterwards, Takeru catalyzed several Green Spirit Fruits and Blaze Fruits. With the appearance of the Green Spirit Fruits and Blaze Fruits, Takeru noticed that the space's concentration had thickened slightly. It seemed these spirit trees could generate mana.
Moreover, as the space's magic concentration increased, the space was also automatically expanding.
Seeing this, Takeru catalyzed over fifty Green Spirit Fruit trees and Blaze Fruit trees all at once. Although this again slightly increased the magic concentration, it seemed the carrying capacity had reached its limit. The Green Spirit Fruits and Blaze Fruits that appeared later were all sickly and weak.
Not only did the resulting fruits taste astringent, but they also lacked much strengthening effect.
Seeing this, Takeru reduced the number back to twenty Green Spirit and Blaze Fruit trees each, and planted some ordinary trees. Everything then seemed to return to normal.
After planting the two types of fruit trees, the space still appeared very desolate compared to its vast territory.
However, Takeru wasn't worried. In the future, he could directly transplant some mountains and forests from the real world. This would save Takeru from consuming so much mana.
Takeru also planned to transform his personal pocket dimension into the most comfortable living space. Not having such an ability before was one thing, but now that he had it, not creating a comfortable back garden would be a disservice to these abilities.
"Onii-chan, Onii-chan!" Just as Takeru was focused on crafting his comfortable new space, he sensed Miu calling out to him. As his consciousness returned, Takeru saw Miu with excitement shining in her eyes.
"What's the matter?" Looking at the excited Miu, Takeru casually inquired.
"What's the matter? It's already seven-thirty!" Hearing Takeru's words, Miu rolled her eyes and directly stated.
"Is that so? Then let's get up." Upon hearing this, Takeru nodded knowingly and immediately jumped up. Outside, everyone else had already woken up and begun their respective tasks.
"Wait a minute, Onii-chan!" Seeing Takeru about to leave directly, Miu quickly called out to stop him.
"Hmm? Is there something else?" Hearing her words, Takeru looked at her calmly.
"Onii-chan, haven't you noticed any change in me?" Hearing Takeru's words, Miu spoke with exasperation.
"What change? Hmm... isn't it just that you've developed a faint bit of mana?" Hearing her words, Takeru said casually.
"Ugh, Onii-chan, it's not faint at all!" Hearing Takeru's words, Miu was somewhat annoyed and spoke discontentedly.
