IM/DC Chapter 206 (Patreon)

“God I should have done this forever ago.” I started the slow and tedious process of converting the Moon into a habitable place to live. After I did this with the moon I’d also do it with Mars. Even as a ninth-circle mage, I could only terraform the area I could see. Right now I was spending the next eleven hours just pumping Ozone into the atmosphere.

Doing anything before that would be pointless because the ultraviolet rays would render living on the moon impossible. It was impractical for humanity to do this, creating an ozone layer on the known planetary bodies that could support human life would be a gigantic waste of resources… Unless you could magically create resources that is.

Over the next few hours, people on Earth who could see the Moon would notice clouds forming from around the position I was flooding them from and slowly spreading out as I was also producing almost as much water to make the atmosphere. Just producing the ozone layer and filling the planet with water would start the life cycle of the Moon but I also wanted to fill it with pockets of growth as well.

The moon was slowly growing cloudy as a lake was turning into an ocean and the atmosphere was being built. It was a long and tedious process as I finally finished with the ozone layer and filled it with enough water for now. The water was all pooling towards the part of the moon closest to Earth. Even with the atmosphere the air was thin and I could tell it was slowly bleeding off into space. I should have probably looked up whether it was possible or not first.

It would still take decades to shed off its habitability though but in a few years, it would be equivalent to the thin air at the top of a mountain. I could increase the local gravity to lock in the ozone but at that point, it would be too much work. Every few years I could just come back and toss out more ozone and water. Terraforming the planet further I cover any area not underwater in grass before creating fruit trees.

The temperature was low but after a few more days of the light getting trapped in the atmosphere it’ll pick up beyond freezing temperatures. I finish up the Moon and head to do the same on Mars. This time taking Raven and Hestia with me as it would take too long to do by myself. Both were 9th-circle mages and could do this as well. Raven was looking forward to it as it would help make up for some of the damage her father had done.

Before we finished I tunneled to the center of the planet and reactivated the planet's core. The magnetic field would help keep everything inside so it could function like a second Earth instead of having the same problems as the Moon. Once again the biggest problem was the temperature and bringing animals here right now would only end in their deaths.

I filled the air with fire as I magically increased the temperature above freezing before filling the planet with millions of chickens and tens of thousands of cows. They all might die but I’d rather it be farm animals than people that did as I tweaked the environment until they could survive. Making a paradise for farm animals to collect meat that is above the quality of wagyu was the future goal but also making humanity a multi-planet space fairing race was another.

3rd Person Point of View

Millions of people noticed the Moon slowly changing as it was happening. No one knew what it was exactly as the news started to cover the changes. Every single government went on red alert as the stock market crashed assuming it was another alien invasion or something similar. 

The Inhumans who made their home on the moon shit their pants at the sudden rapid changes to the environment. The shields that kept the environment from affecting them suddenly required far less power as the ground under their feet grew dirt upon it. Thankfully the crater they lived in was shielded from outside interference or they’d have had to flee as their home became a lake.

The Martians who lived inside the planet were suddenly flooded with millions of pings of changes happening on the surface level. They panicked as no one knew what was happening and most thought it was another attack from the white Martians or a different alien race invading them. The collective mind they were all attached to was willing to sacrifice some of the few so the collective could plan where to fight or submit to their new neighbors.

Clark Kent stopped eating a late-night bowl of cereal mid-bite as he noticed the changes happening to the Moon. He was possibly the only person who knew why it was happening as he zoomed in with his telescopic vision to see one of the newest members of the Justice League flooding the atmosphere with ozone and water. 

Several of the contingencies that Batman had on the moon began to send him alerts to the changes happening around them. Many of the supplies left in the worst-case scenario for humanity are suddenly covered by a layer of fresh dirt, grass, or water. Batman spit-taked coffee as he panicked. He thought the moon had been struck by a continent-sized meteor for all the readings he was getting. 

The readings of many alien species were getting from this particular solar system just didn’t make sense to them. There were mages out in space but a ninth-circle mage was a closely guarded resource. For them to get a reading of three different magical signatures all coming from a solar system that none of the big planetary alliances had ever dealt with. Many plans were being devised to send probes to see what exactly was happening in that particular sector of the universe.

The old sleeping giant consciousness of Mars was awoken from a deep deep sleep. The small bit of divinity it had left enough to restart the process of growing new life on the planet. Mars felt weak and tired but with every moment it felt more and more conscious about what was happening on its surface. It had no idea where the millions of creatures came from but the life force they were generating was slowly being converted into divinity for the planet to use.

The person who was working the phone line on the Watchtower had found out what exactly was happening around ten hours in and was answering many, many phone calls from different leaders around the globe. It didn’t help that it was Booster Gold and that he might have been making the leaders more fearful of what was happening than calming them down.
