I stare up at the large green glowing fruit for a few minutes in awe as vitality streams back into me.

A large aura of vibrant green tendrils of divine energy flows off the fruit itself and begins seeping into the atmosphere.

Only now can I visualize how much of that green aura I really absorbed while falling through the sky.

I hear movement in the trees above as some of the yellow-cored lizards hiding high in the trees start to move downward toward my vicinity.

At the same time, buzzing in the trees and nearby islands also signifies the fact that hundreds of insects are flying my way, attracted to this energy-rich divine fruit.

While they all creep, jump, and fly through the trees toward me, I stand to my feet feeling both immensely sore head to toe, but also oddly rejuvenated and refreshed.

Those few hours of sleep I had while falling were the first shuteye I've had in weeks. Even though I was battling for my life during that rest, it still invigorates me and makes me feel as though I'm even stronger than I was before challenging that serpent in the sky to notice me.

I expand my perception as dozens of creatures close in, and pick up quite a few readings that are rather shocking to see.

The first and most noticeable is the fact that high above the construct where the curious eyes of the overseer used to watch, there is now nothing but endless open sky.

It's gone. Meaning, whatever Ember managed to do with his mysterious silver and golden energy combined with the attack I threw definitely got this beast's attention.

Even after it's left, there is still a thick green aura left in its place that blocks any lower life forms from crossing its threshold in the sky.

I grin with excitement, as it was not all in vain.

The second thing I notice is that when the lizards and insects that creep toward me collide with the glowing green aura of divine threads coming off the newly grown fruit, they're completely unaffected.

The creatures' bodies react just like mine, showing the threads of shimmering green light phase through them like they're trying to touch holograms.

I easily jump upward and pull out my blade to cut through them all in single slashes.

Now, not even using my greater form, my aura feels so much more refined and capable of weaving itself into my fire magic and soul energy.

I'm unsure if it's just the fact that I've had some quality rest, or if filtering that green divine energy increased my energy control output to an alarming degree.

As the corpses of hundreds of insects and dozens of lizards pile around the glowing green fruit, I come to the conclusion that it's most likely a bit of both.

The longer I stay here, the more creatures become attracted to the green aura protruding from the fruit.

It's like moths all coming toward a lone flame. All I have to do is sit back and wait for more prey to arrive.

While testing out my new heightened reflexes, energy output, and easy use of my fully awakened yellow core, hours pass and hundreds of fragments are farmed.

Some of the corpses fall and make contact with the trees, having them absorb their energy while I'm busy fighting other monsters.

Many yellow and orange fruits begin to form on the branches nearby too. It only creates more chain reactions of the beacon of energy getting larger and more monsters coming by to try and get their fill.
