Chapter 14: Atmosphere
[SYSTEM]
The process of transforming into a habitable planet must begin with the creation of an atmosphere. The host possesses the necessary equations for oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. However, initiating volcanic activity will stabilize the environment further.
Carter paused, considering the system's advice. "Volcanic activity, huh?" he muttered to himself. He wasn't a geologist, but he knew enough to realize that volcanoes had played a crucial role in shaping Earth's atmosphere in its early stages. The idea of creating volcanoes—actual volcanoes—on his own planetary body felt bizarre, but at this point, nothing seemed out of reach.
"So… volcanic activity. I guess that makes sense. It'll pump out gases to help the atmosphere form, right?"
[SYSTEM]
Correct. Volcanic activity releases gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur, and other volatile compounds necessary for the host's atmosphere to achieve balance.
Carter floated in the silence of space, reflecting on the enormity of the task. He wasn't just creating an atmosphere—he was setting the foundation for life itself. It was like playing god, but on a scale so massive it made his head spin.
"Alright, system. Let's do it. Start the volcanic activity."
[NOTICE]
3 million celestial energy used to create volcanic activity.
The moment he gave the command, Carter felt a strange stirring deep within his core. It was as if his entire being was shifting and groaning, the energy within him bubbling to the surface. In an instant, he felt the ground below him—his own surface—tremble as massive fissures appeared, glowing with molten energy.
Across his form, massive volcanoes erupted into life. Molten lava spewed from their summits, and streams of magma coursed across his surface, painting it in fiery red and orange. With each eruption, gases were released—carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water vapor—slowly forming a thin atmosphere around him.
"Whoa…" Carter muttered, captivated by the transformation. He could feel the intense heat from the volcanic activity, the molten rivers reshaping his surface, turning his barren form into something entirely new.
Ordinarily, this process would take millions of years for a planet to naturally generate an atmosphere. However, Carter, using his celestial energy, had sped things up to a near-instant transformation. His power allowed the volcanic process to unfold at breakneck speed, bypassing the slow churn of geological time.
