The stuff in the Space Ring made no sense to her.
Usually, when Rarity Hunters harvested ore from a Planet, there was some kind of logic behind things.
For example, a Planet that had a lot of Wind and Lightning Energy would mostly produce metals with certain affinities towards these other kinds of Elemental Energy.
Just by looking at the metals, the shop lady could paint a picture of the Planet in her mind.
But these metals were completely random.
If the Rarity Hunters had gotten a Metal Moon, this would also happen. Metal Moons were almost entirely comprised of metal. Without any outside influences, the generated metals would also take on all kinds of attributes.
Initially, the lady suspected that Kyle had lied. After all, Kyle had said he went to a PLANET, not a Moon.
But then, she saw something else that completely confused her.
Why were there Wisdom Fire Realm metals in there?
Sure, collecting tiny stones of Wisdom Fire Realm metals was possible for a Primal since there were only three prerequisites to storing something in a Soul Space.
One, it couldn't have a will.
Two, it had to fit in the Soul Space.
Three, the person had to be able to lift the object.
Wisdom Fire Realm metals were insanely heavy, but grabbing a couple of small stones wasn't an issue.
But with Kyle's loot, there were two problems.
First of all, ore veins rarely came in bite-sized bits. They were one big unit.
In order to harvest these metals, Kyle would need to break them down himself, but as a Primal, he couldn't possibly do that. He was simply too weak.
Two, and this issue was way bigger, these chunks were far too big.
Some of these chunks were so big that not even a True Crusher could store them in one piece.
It was literally impossible for Kyle to push these things into his Soul Space.
Of course, the shop lady knew how Rarity Hunters worked, and she knew that Metal Energy from other Dimensions would enter their Soul Space to create more metal.
However, the Metal Energy immediately transformed into something solid, which perfectly replicated the thing the Rarity Hunter had taken.
For example, if a Rarity Hunter broke an ore vein into ten pieces and put them into their Soul Space, the Metal Energy from the other Dimensions would also create ten identical pieces per Dimension.
What was even more confusing was that the shop lady couldn't easily divide the ores into groups of seven.
They were… just completely random. "Is this some kind of trick?" she asked in annoyance.
"Nope," Kyle said with a grin. "Make a report. You'll see."
"I'll have to do that anyway," she grumbled as she activated her Communicator again.
After all, while she was in the Wisdom Fire Realm, she didn't have a Metal Affinity.
She knew a lot about metal due to the requirements of her job, but she hadn't been told about Wisdom Fire Realm materials.
This shop was for Transcendents, Primals, and Crushers.
A couple of seconds later, someone teleported into the shop.
It was a young lady with long grey hair.
'Ascendant. Someone in the Fusion Realm,' Kyle thought as he sensed the Energy around her.
"Maybe you can make sense of this entire thing," the shop lady said casually. "I have no idea what's going on. I already made a report earlier, but everything came back clean."
The young lady was the manager of all the shops in this branch, and she directly reported to the Chief Overseer.
The shop manager wordlessly looked at the contents of the Space Ring, and her brows furrowed.
"Can you confirm this came from his Soul Space?" she asked the shop lady.
"Looked like it to me," the shop lady said. "If anyone else is involved, they're strong enough to fool me."
The shop manager stared into space for just a tiny moment.
"Everything checks out," she said. "I got confirmation from the Chief Overseer. If you know what he went through, it makes sense."
"Alright," the shop lady said casually. "How should I handle such a case if it happens again?"
"Call me," the shop manager said. "I would be surprised if something like this happens a second time in this branch."
Then, the shop manager looked at Kyle. "Glad you made it out alive."
"Thanks," Kyle said with a smile. "Don't recommend the experience, though."
The shop manager gave a dry chuckle before she put the Space Ring away.
"Your Contribution Points have been wired to the accounts of your team members."
"Frankly, I don't think I have ever seen any Primal Rarity Hunter Team make this much with just a single Planet. Don't spend it all at once."
Kyle's smile widened. "Thank you!"
"Anyway," Kyle added as he stopped leaning on the counter. "Thanks for the money. See ya!"
The shop manager just nodded to Kyle as he left.
The shop lady was interested in how something like this could happen, and the shop manager gave her a quick rundown. Kyle's Soul Space had been almost completely empty when he absorbed the pure Metal Energy from the breaking Planet.
Breaking metal down into pure Metal Energy was an extremely energy-intensive process, and it was rarely worth the effort.
However, if one still decided to break metal down into Metal Energy, they could create whatever metal they wanted, as long as the density of the Metal Energy was high enough and as long as they knew how the desired material worked.
When Kyle had absorbed the Metal Energy, it had gone into the bits of metal he had in his Soul Space.
Metal Energy hated being in an ethereal form. As soon as it got any opportunity, it would immediately materialize.
The bits of metal in Kyle's Soul Space had absorbed Metal Energy until they had reached the limit that this density of Metal Energy allowed, which was a couple of Wisdom Fire Realm Metals.
In order to make Domain Realm Metals, one needed even denser Metal Energy.
But that still left a lot of Metal Energy in Kyle's mind.
Since there was no considerable outside influence in Kyle's Soul Space, the Metal Energy turned into random metals.
While this was happening, the metals of the other Dimensions copied the state of the first batch of Metal Energy and entered Kyle's mind.
However, before they could completely copy the other materials, the Dimensions solidified, which cut the connection between them.
So, instead of copying the existing metals, the Metal Energy remained in Kyle's Soul Space until it naturally materialized into random metals.
Of course, someone might get the idea to use this principle to create powerful and heavy boulders of metal in one's mind to use as weapons. After all, summoning a huge piece of Wisdom Fire Realm Metal on top of a Primal's head would crush them.
Sadly, that didn't work.
One could only absorb so much Metal Energy at once. Keeping Metal Energy ethereal cost a lot of Energy, and at some point, one would run out of Energy.
One would not be able to achieve the density of Metal Energy required to create such a huge boulder of powerful metal.
The only reason why Kyle had such powerful boulders of metal in his Soul Space was because of the insane density of Metal Energy around him and the fact that six other Dimensions shoved Metal Energy into his Soul Space.
This was one of the craziest sets of circumstances the shop manager had ever seen.
It was the weirdest freak accident.
Kyle had really lucked out this time. Although considering the manner in which he had gotten this wealth…
Had he truly been lucky?
After leaving the shop, Kyle reached his team again.
Manny and Swamp Dragon were just looking at Kyle in absolute shock.
6-7
Meanwhile, Kyle just showed a shit-eating grin.(because of 6-7)
