Only Halberd, Brunhild, and Sol had come with me for the tree thingy. But the rest of the giants easily saw an enormous tree pop out of thin air. Many of them had never really seen one in real life and had only heard tales about how trees were. I had simply created a Lesser Yggdrasil Seed by spending 100k MP. It wasn't so hard but it has some sort of weird cooldown, I can't make them consecutively and need to wait over a day to create another one. But still, I do have the slight plan of fill the world with these highly durable trees that fill everything with nutrition and life so this world can heal little by little.

Starting from the desert is a wise choice, creating a water source for the tree to absorb water from is also important, Lesser Yggdrasil Trees are not as powerful as the real ones, so they'll dry if there's not enough water. Usually it might be better to just put them in the middle of the ocean most of the time, as it is where they can grow the biggest, but like that they wont end up helping anybody on land.

"It grew beautifully, this one is as big as… a hundred meters? It might grow some more I the future. The roots are well dug underground and it seems that it has reached the oasis there, it is getting its water." I said with a nod. I patted the tree, as I felt its soul and spirit slowly developing through my Yggdrasil Spirit Skill.

"Did you saw what I did, Brunhild?" I asked.

"Yes but I tried and I can't really create such a powerful seed nor tree…" She said. "But these smaller seeds showed up!" Brunhild showed them to me, they seemed to be apple seeds.

"Alright this'll do. Sol, Brunhild, come here… Let's use this empty area surrounding the tree. Crops around Yggdrasil Trees are always tastier after all." I said while nodding.

I quickly decided to crush the bony floor and leave a big open area which I quickly filled with rich dirt I had already prepared beforehand, alongside create a copy of the other Ego I left behind in the village of the desert elves to enrich the dirt by infusing mana into it.

Making egos for such things seemed pretty useful, maybe I could make an Ego to generate heat inside a bathtub or something one day. They're like magic tools but sentient and can work indefinitely unless they're directly destroyed. I guess they're like an advanced version of magic items or golems.

"Now Sol, do as I do." I said, as I quickly gathered Mana and imbued it with the power of the spirit of Yggdrasil thanks to my all-purpose Skill. The flow of life spread out everywhere, as the dirt became rich and converted into soil. Not only that, but the seeds that Brunhild made began to sprout quickly after.

"Like this…?" Sol wondered, using his [Agriculture: Lv1] and [Soil Enhancement: Lv1] Skills together. Agriculture helped him sense plants and soil, and also directly enhance it with mana, while Soil Enhancement was even more direct enhancement of soil richness, which also allowed him to slightly manipulate soil around him.

FLAAAASH!

"Wooow…" Brunhild looked with her eyes wide open, as the enormous field we created began to spread out, the dirt suddenly multiplied several times covering more land than I had planned, and plants grew everywhere as small sprouts, even grass showed up, and various other herbs I didn't knew there were there. I think Sol just created them.

After all, he was a Farmer in his previous life. Genesis also had Skills, so he probably learned skills and magic for Farmers until he awakened his Hero Magic and Skills, he then probably left such skills behind, completely forgetting about them. Now that he was reincarnated as a hero, not only his qualities as a hero were transferred, but the talents of all his life, not only when he was a hero. In fact, he was summoned at his prime, and with the talents as a farmer of his previous life, he even got that as a subclass.

"Amazing… I don't remember that I was this good at Farming Skills… Agriculture and Soil Enhancement seem incredible." Said Sol. "And Farming Tool Mastery? Is this….?"

Sol suddenly looked at his own sword, which suddenly shapeshifted into a trident. He began using it to move around the dirt and expose the area with more nutrients, using the Farming Tool Mastery, it felt as if he always knew how to use his farming tools, and even more, he was enriching the soil constantly with it.

FLAAAASH!

The soil began to glow so brightly it was insane. It had a whole golden-colored aura over it, and life was overflowing everywhere. Sol continued working as if he was having fun, spreading, and slowly spreading more dirt around the surroundings of the Lesser Yggdrasil Tree, while Brunhild continued throwing seeds around. And all while I enchanted everything with Yggdrasil Spirit Essence.

After ten minutes, we were done, and the soil quickly began to tremble, as countless trees, cactuses, and other modified and hybrid plants I created to be especially durable and hardy began popping out of the soil one after the other. When the rest of the Giants caught up to what was happening here, they were left once more speechless as they saw a whole ass forest emerging out of the floor they never thought any plant could grow from.

The plants were not there just to decorate the area, they quickly generated fruits of all colors, and the ground vegetables also showed up, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and more, one after the other. The people's eyes grew more fascinated as such plants and veggies were especially made to be big as they were partially made by Brunhild, so their sizes were life five times their normal counterparts, an apple was as big as one meter.

"And there we go; this is all for you guys. Enjoy it." I said. "Make sure to tend to it and infuse mana into the floor to make the soil richer."

As I said that carefreely, everyone began to cry out of happiness…

Ah, I guess I overdid it a bit?
