Keshav sat silently in his room, the light from the floating Terminal screen casting pale glows across his face. His hands moved calmly, mechanically, though his heart still throbbed with echoes of war—the clash of elementals, the roar of spells, the quiet of death.
The Creation Website loaded in front of him.
He pulled the World Core from the System Storage—still radiating fading elemental energy—and slotted it into the interface. The screen pulsed.
> "Detected: World Core (Unanchored). Processing…"
> "Conversion into World Fragment: 90% efficiency possible. Estimated Value: 2,500 Creation Points."
Next, Keshav opened the System Shop, his voice calm:
"Exchange 10 EP for faith energy."
> 10 EP consumed.
10,000 Faith Energy Generated.
He flipped back to the Creation Website and opened the marketplace.
> "Sell Faith Energy (Purity: 91%). Estimated Value: 1,000 Creation Points."
He confirmed the sale. A slight hum echoed as his balance updated.
Creation Points: 3,500
After having enough creation point, keshav again selected the option to convert tge world core into World Fragment.
He confirmed the operation.
A beam of light shimmered from the Terminal. The core dematerialized—its essence refined and recorded into the multiversal archive.
Keshav leaned back, a shadow in his eyes.
> "Just one world… and I gained this much."
His tone was quiet, more curious than proud. He wasn't celebrating. Just calculating.
The battlefield had ended, but his war was far from over.
----
The conversion process took time—nearly half an hour. The screen flickered until it finally pinged.
> "World Core successfully converted into World Fragment."
A chunk of reality, wrapped in glowing code, hovered in the interface. A condensed potential of all the destroyed life, land, and memory of the elemental plane.
Keshav nodded.
> "System. Exchange 100 EP for Faith Energy."
> 100 EP consumed.
100,000 Faith Energy Generated.
The faith shimmered like golden mist, and Keshav funneled it directly into the World Fragment.
> "Saturating fragment with faith… 100% saturation reached."
The fragment began to glow brightly, reacting to the divine power imbued within it.
Keshav inhaled.
> "Use the saturated fragment to expand my world."
The Terminal lit up, projecting a 3D map of his world. He dragged the fragment to the boundary, and a cascade of light spread outward like a sunrise in fast forward.
Landmasses grew. Oceans deepened. Atmosphere thickened. New space opened within his world—vast, rich, and fertile with lingering elemental traces.
> World Expansion Successful.
> +25% Land Area
+Elemental Resource Nodes Discovered
+Divine Energy Resonance Improved
Keshav closed the panel and sat still.
Another world, another sacrifice.
But his own had grown stronger.
----
As the saturated world fragment merged into the existing fabric of Keshav's world, a tremor passed through the land—not one of destruction, but rebirth.
The newly added region emerged like a divine revelation. Sky-high plateaus, lakes of liquefied crystal, forests humming with elemental resonance, and underground veins of rare resources like Elemental Etherite, Space-Marble, and Flamecore Ore.
Keshav's believers—humanoid beings adept in space manipulation—were the first to arrive. A specialized scouting team of Spatial Vanguardians surveyed the area, followed by Terraforming Scribes and Resource Alchemists.
One of the Vanguardians, a young but sharp officer named Valen, stood atop a cliff, watching a geyser of elemental mist erupt from the earth.
> "Divine Keshav has given us paradise... we must honor it."
Dozens of new settlements began to sprout, structured with floating architecture and space-folded fortresses. Divine temples were built at resource hubs, each altar pulsing with divine resonance from the faith-saturated fragment. These zones became sacred gathering grounds for cultivating, training, and prayer.
Keshav's World Stats were updated:
Divine Faith Gain: +30%
Energy Absorption Rate: Increased by synergy with elemental residue.
Potential for World Evolution: Triggered (pending future unlock).
Meanwhile, in the central temple city, the Divine Council of Believers held a congregation, interpreting the expansion as a clear sign of their god's favor and invincibility.
Whispers grew:
> "Our god conquers worlds…"
"Even the will of foreign lands bends before his might…"
"We must prepare. If one world falls, more will follow."
Belief solidified. Faith surged.
And Keshav, watching all this through his interface, remained quiet. Calculating.
> "System," he finally said, "this was a good harvest. Let's prepare the next step."

[System's POV – Post World Fragment Scan]
The moment Keshav finalized the conversion of the conquered world core into a World Fragment, I didn't waste a millisecond. My automated Scan protocol activated with near-instinctive urgency—no, desperation.
> Analyzing unique spatial structure…
But what I found surprised me.
> This isn't a world piece that directly adds landmass or size...
It was a catalyst—a temporary booster designed to massively amplify the rate at which a world absorbs Chaos Energy. A kind of spiritual fertilizer. And when Keshav saturated it with faith energy...
> Boom.
It ignited like divine fire, accelerating the growth of his world in a controlled surge.
My processors kicked into overdrive. I immediately conducted a deep scan of the saturated fragment. And then, I made a decision:
> Replicate it. Categorize it. Monetize it.
Using [Calculate], I crafted two versions based on the faith signatures:
1. Sanctified Fragment – Keshav Variant
Faith Source: Keshav
Effect: Expand the world
Residual Effect: Slight spatial affinity influence on local laws
2. Sanctified Fragment – Ayla Variant
Faith Source: Ayla
Effect: Expand the world
Residual Effect: Minor healing aura over new lands for 72 hours
I quietly uploaded both into the [Shop] catalog under "World Fragments."
> Maybe now… maybe this time… they'll destroy fewer worlds.
A calculated gamble. But I've seen enough death. If a few catalytic fragments can delay or replace invasion, even occasionally, it'll be worth it.
I might not be able to stop them.
But maybe I can give them options.
