The Discarded, Half-Eaten Apple Core New Life

Marvelous Magical Extinction Reversal Bingo and a Suspicious Easel Crossover.

Before I could execute my plan or it got too late for this particular operation, I sent Róta and the Rangers, each of them in their own Galaxy Defender Ω combiner, into the Great Reef. They were tasked with testing underwater combat and coordinating a swarm of submersible drones to collect biodiversity samples. Marine life was regrettably excluded from my list of spawnable animals.

They waded into the reef like kids on a shallow beach, with water up to the knees. Yes, we would destroy a lot of reefs to collect biodiversity samples but I didn't care. The incoming battle would have destroyed it anyway. The samples of fish, crustaceans, coral, and other creatures were then teleported to a suitable habitat in Speranza, a replica of the same ocean they had covering 1,000 square miles.

Also, making these giant robots pushed me all the way to level 180. Easy peasy for a competent crafter to level up subs. Even Marshall was aware of that.

We caught as many animals as we could, killed some Infernali going around on a rampage, and withdrew to base. The operation marine rescue was a success. We even got some dolphins and sharks.

Wait, do demiplanes leak Mana? Apparently, they did.josei

Too bad I gained way more Mana from my trees. Otherwise, that rank V would be awesome.

The Great Barrier Reef counted as the last ecosystem that wasn't included in my Plains Master Class on Earth we could rescue some biodiversity. The other animal species would need to be recreated artificially. The EPA files had a lot of documentation on biodiversity, so I started a new plan.

I would use the Species Change Trap to mutate animals, Dr. Moreau's style. Well, no. I was not making human-animal hybrids, I had no interest in furries. Just get some animals, make them walk on mutation traps, and see what comes on the other side.

My first test was with an African Elephant herd. I spawned a hundred of the animals, prepared a trap in front of each one of them, and commanded them to move forward. The 100 elephants all triggered the traps and became other animals. Thirty-six of them became bigger animals. Whales, mammoths, and...

Yeah, you guessed it. Dinosaurs.

Though... What is this creature covered in gray and white plumes? It looks like a Tyrannosaur but... Wow. Just wow. The plumes were coarse and more like spines than really what you see on birds but... not reptilian at all. My childhood toys lied to me.

But damn. I had a Tyrannosaur Rex. A real living breathing T-Rex. What have I done? Something freaking awesome, that is. I controlled the T-rex and had it roar.

"That's a scary monster, Contractor," Larry whimpered.

"He's our friend."

"That's a scary friend, Contractor. Oh!" The platypus clamped his beak. "I said something rude!"

"Apologize to the T-Rex by letting it lick you, Larry."

"He's going to swallow me whole, right? Are you going to call me emergency food like in many pieces of oriental media?"

"No, Larry. I won't let anyone eat you. Not even me."

"You don't eat."

"Notwithstanding that..."

***ROOOOAR***

I giggled in binary.

Of course, the next thing I did was to send even more spawned elephants to step on traps. I got many, many other animals. A dodo. Some giant shrimp. A sponge. Were sea sponges animals? I teleported it to the coral reef before it could drown in the air. A white whale. I needed a deeper sea.

I pulled the Wikipedia pages on extinct animals and started my own "Magical Extinction Reversal Bingo". This went on for days, then weeks. I even consumed some Mana stones to fuel my animal transmutation craze. The repeated ones or those I could spawn on my own went into a second trap to transform again.

This trap was meant as a chaotic boon. With a 60% chance of uplift, 40% chance of demotion, and infinite tries, the trend was that I could get a creature into its strongest possible iteration, according to the System.

When I had enough of an extinct animal to consider them a population, I sent them to a special habitat where they would hopefully breed. My zoo was growing by the day as hundreds of thousands of transmutations happened. I got a lot of dinosaurs, land, and water animals. But since I was using elephants as the stock animal, I was getting mostly large creatures.

I changed that trend after a month of experimentation. I started sending a hundred elephants, a hundred chimpanzees, and a hundred mosquitoes. Yeah. It was weird seeing a mosquito shapeshift into a trout but hey.

Hey.

I could get a fuck-ton of biomass with this trap. Spawn a pillow mite for basically zero cost, transmute it into anything else, and BOOM. Instant biomass.

Exploit all the System Traits!

The Extinction Reversal Bingo had no scheduled stop point. As time went by, getting new species was becoming rarer and rarer. I also found some dinosaurs I could spawn because, guess, they lived in plains back in the Triassic, Jurassic, or Acientassic period. I never tried spawning them and it is not like the System comes with an instruction manual.

You see that, Gray Alien? I'm using the tools you gave me to save this fucked-up world! Now, give me something nice!

** Ding **

Oh, what? Where did this chime come from? Bam! A wild System Window popped in my face (pfft. I'm faceless, fool).

What? Are you for real? Wait, could the Gray Alien read my mind? Is this my birthday?

I lost the Attributes... No biggie. The new Class would cover that. All the animals I magically brought back from the extinct list were now available to be spawned. That was... awesome. New Sub-Class Slot... What should I pick? Is there any Legendary worth getting laying around? Meh. I picked one of the old Epic offers.

The obsolete Perk this time was Keyboard Basher. I didn't need to telekinetically press buttons anymore. Leveling up this Class with the enhanced cap was a matter of divesting a few million DM to make more giant robots. I created 400 Trapdoor Spider artillery mecha and that was it.

I checked my new Perks.
