With the last Absorption Array, William directed it to send its Mana into the Reius World Seed. He hoped that by sending Mana into his ho World, William might be able to help Fria improve her real strength.
As of right now, the strength of Fria and the other Players was mostly false. Since their Soul Strength was the only thing that could truly improve, Fria was probably one of the strongest people on Reius and she didn't even know it.
If Mana started pouring into Reius, however, there was a slight chance that so people would notice imdiately. Eventually, Cultivators would appear and the overall strength of Reius would grow.
William didn't care much about the others, but giving his adopted family a chance to Cultivate while protecting his sister was the ideal outco. He was confident that any resulting chaos would be manageable by Fria and her absurd Soul Strength.
"What if people beco criminals like the Thieves Guild?" Fria asked after William explained everything to her. "If I'm in the VR headset when sothing big happens, I'll die."
William hadn't thought of that fact, and it made him realize that he might have just placed his sister in greater danger than before. That being said, the System told him that Fria was the most suitable Host, so he should have so faith in her.
"You'll do great. If there are criminals, you'll take care of them, right? I rember how much you begged to buy this ga, but isn't it fun to think that it's a real thing? There's no need to go to College anymore, just Cultivate and reach the peak before anyone else." William smiled.
Fria nodded, "Do you think I can use my Cultivation Technique there?"
William looked at his sister in confusion, "Is there sothing special about it?"
"My old Technique helped Cultivate faster in certain areas. I have Water and Ice Magic, so I have to be close to a beach or snowy area. But it's sumr and we don't live near a beach!"
"What about your other Technique? Also, with the System can't you gain more Magic Affinities?" William asked.
"It's a Soul-Mana Technique. I found it in an Ancient Ruin. Also, it takes a long ti to gain new Magic Affinities and Potential Points were rare before. I planned to mostly specialize on my Soul Strength."
William was even more confused now. Soul-Mana Technique?
-It's a Cultivation thod where one absorbs Souls and Mana at the sa ti. It works great in Cultivator graveyards and after a long battle, but it would be useless on Reius where there are no Cultivators. It's a semi-forbidden Technique, but it seems like she only uses it on Magical Beasts.
William nodded in understanding, "I'm not good enough at controlling the Mana yet. I don't know where in the World it's going, so it will be up to you to find the best places to Cultivate.
Don't worry, you already have an advantage by being my sister. I'll definitely help you when I can."
Fria smiled, "You're the best!"
"I am."
-And humble too.

28 days later, on August 24th.
William had just finished absorbing the Superior Fire Vein on the Azures Continent when the System sent him a series of notifications.
-Your Elental Fruits have grown.
-Your Fruits were harvested.
-You have 100 Order Fruits in storage, but your current comprehension only requires 24 more Fruits to reach one hundred percent. Note that consuming additional Fruits will have no effect.
-You have 100 Seal Fruits in storage, but your current comprehension only requires 69 more Fruits to reach one hundred percent. Note that consuming additional Fruits will have no effect.
My Farm was harvested last month, but I was so busy with keeping an eye on Reius' growth that I didn't eat the Fruits yet. Let's check it out!
-What do you plan to do with the rest of the Fruits?
Is there anything I CAN do with them? You said eating them will have no effect.
-No, they're useless.
Entirely useless, or useless to ?
-Entirely useless. They can't be taken from your warehouse or given to others.
Hmm... I'll just store them anyway. If I run out of storage, then I might start getting rid of them. William replied in his mind as he visited the warehouse.
He consud the Order and Seal Fruits both in quick succession, leaving the other Elental Fruits inside the warehouse until his next visit.
-Fully comprehended an Elent: 50,000,000 PP
-Fully comprehended your first Elent: 200,000,000 PP
-Fully comprehended an Elent: 50,000,000 PP
Three hundred million Points just for eating? How can I complain about that? William smiled as he opened the System Panel. With a few practiced motions, the System Panel displayed the information related to both the Order and Sealing Laws.
-Primary Law of Order (100% comprehension): The Order Elent's Primary Law has beco clear to you. Your Order Elent has been enhanced significantly by your comprehension, and you've discovered the Order Mana Chart. Your phrases have aning and can be substituted for silent casting.
Huh? William looked at the last line in confusion.
He understood that the Order Mana Chart was probably the pattern of Mana Particles that he was able to see earlier, after taking a cursory glance at the Mana Chart, William noticed that it was even clearer than before, and he inherently understood how to modify the Mana Chart to his advantage, further reducing the cost of so Spells while increasing their output.
What he didn't understand, however, was the ntion of substitution. Where was the benefit of shouting his Spell out loud when he could cast it silently and surprise his enemies?
-When you speak with slight intent, the Mana will be called out on its own, forming a Spell almost automatically.
William felt enlightened at the System's words. If he didn't have to channel the Mana himself and it was called out on its own... Could it be?
He tried it out, staring at a patch of boulders that were common in the Southern Plains.
"Destabilize."
Nothing.
-Not enough intent, the phrase is too short and unambiguous. You haven't reached that level yet.
Hmm, alright.
"Order, scatter the particles of that boulder!" William shouted, his body releasing a massive amount of Order Mana that sped towards the boulder in the distance. Monts later, the individual particles separated, and the boulder beca dust that scattered in the light breeze.
-Too much intent, and that was very awkward. The length is about right, but you can go a little shorter.
The System's words sounded harsh, but William agreed. While his comprehension was high and he understood a lot about the Order Elent, he hadn't used its Magic very much compared to his other Elents.
I know the Seal Elent better, so let's try switching to that.
He opened his Life Domain and searched for any signs of life within a hundred kiloters. A dozen or so figures were visible around fifteen kiloters from his position, so William teleported in front of a group of nine Fire Hawks that were flying north in a V-Formation.
It was odd to see hawks flying in a thod typical to geese, but William didn't question it. He closed his eyes and cald his breathing, opening them while simultaneously issuing an order.
"Seal my targets."
