Chapter 44 - 43

Page 96

The journey to the greatest intergalactic trading post was a series of warp jumps through the cosmic void, each lasting only moments but spanning light-years. The Celestial Leviathan, with its divine engines, was a marvel of engineering, a phantom in space that appeared and disappeared with the grace of a predator.

Upon arriving at the trading post's star system, the sight was breathtaking. Hundreds of ships of varying races and sizes hovered around a colossal space station that resembled a cluster of interconnected cities. Lights of every color flashed, and the air was filled with the cacophony of thousands of alien dialects.

Jhon, with his newfound stature as an Ascended Entity, descended onto the main trading dock, accompanied by Lua, Lyra, and a contingent of his most loyal soldiers. The aura of power he emanated was palpable, silencing conversations and drawing curious and fearful glances. The alien merchant who greeted him, a multi-legged being with complex eyes, sensed Jhon's power and the wealth of his cosmic coins.

The purchase was a veritable "shopping spree." John didn't just empty the trading post's stocks, he replenished them, and then emptied them again. He didn't just buy what he needed; he bought everything that could be useful, in quantities that bordered on the absurd.

Engines: He purchased 100 Primordial Warp Engines and 200 Singular Antimatter Engines. Each would be immediately upgraded to a God-level by Loli, making them Hyperdimensional Warp Engines and Quantum Pulsar Antimatter Engines, respectively, capable of inter-universe travel and space-time manipulation.

Shield Generators: Dozens of Level X and Y Shield Generators, which would be evolved into Consciousness Field Shield Generators (DIVINE), capable of withstanding damage from creatures of Level X and higher, and even distorting local reality to deflect attacks.

Energy Sources: More Dwarf Stars and Mini-Black Holes were acquired en masse, all multiplied by 50 and evolved into Quantum Vacuum Energy Sources (DIVINO), ensuring that the ship would have unlimited energy for eons.

Weaponry: Jhon acquired the most advanced Convergent Plasma Cannons, Quantum Pulse Lasers, Subatomic Particle Beams, and Antimatter Missile Launchers in industrial quantities. Each would be upgraded to its peak power.

Raw Resources: Tons of rare alloys, exotic energy crystals, and superheavy elements have been purchased for future expansions and creations.

Forcefield Technology: Purchased Containment Forcefield Generators and Forcefield Disruptors, which would be evolved into Collective Consciousness Forcefields (DIVINE), capable of absorbing and redirecting energy, and even suppressing enemy abilities.

Jhon also purchased exotic animals from different planets to add to the ship's fauna and flora, and life cores of various creatures for study and possible future integration.

He hadn't spent even a trillion coins, a testament to the priceless value of his cosmic coins and the vast fortune he still possessed. The alien merchant was perplexed; he had never seen such a transaction.

Back on the ship, Jhon oversaw the incorporation of the new components. Loli worked tirelessly, evolving each piece, transforming them into DIVINE technology. The Celestial Leviathan began to grow and transform again, its size visibly increasing.

Total length: 20 kilometers

Ship Tail Width: Now 3 kilometers total width (1 km increase).

Bow Length: Extended to 500 meters, maintaining the harpoon tip for optimized speed and penetration.

Additional Engines: The ship now possessed 110 Hyper-dimensional Warp Drives (DIVINO) and 220 Quantum Pulsar Antimatter Drives (DIVINO), allowing jumps between universes and maneuvers at incomprehensible speeds.

The Celestial Leviathan was no longer just a space warship; it was an intergalactic fortress, a self-sufficient floating city capable of housing an entire civilization. Its internal compartments expanded even further, allowing its population of nearly 1 million to live in comfort and abundance.

Jhon's women, the twelve wives, continued to thrive alongside him. The ship's energy and Jhon's presence seemed to enhance them even further. The community within the Leviathan was a fully functioning society, with scientists, engineers, doctors, farmers, and warriors all under Jhon's command.

Jhon had done it. He had transformed a bus into a ship that was a city in the air, and now, in space. He was the master of his own destiny and the protector of a new civilization. The universe awaited, and Jhon was ready to explore it, his trillions of cosmic coins at his fingertips, his divine power ever-growing. The search for Rank X monsters, the secrets of the universe, and the fate of his new family were just the beginning.

With the Celestial Leviathan fully upgraded in the rented space dock, a vision of intricate metal structures and energy beams filling the void around the ship, Jhon turned to his most ambitious project: bringing Loli to life. He had promised her a body, and now, with the divine and mythical materials accumulated from SSS-rank monsters, he had the means to deliver.

In the heart of the Leviathan, in a private laboratory Jhon had created, a sanctuary of advanced technology and cosmic alchemy, he worked tirelessly. The operating table, a platform of pulsating energy, held what appeared to be the skeleton of a humanoid form, but with an ethereal elegance, as if carved from solidified light. It was the foundation of Loli's body.

Jhon spared no effort. He was not only a warrior, but now, with the Primordial Core of Creation (Celestial and Demonic) integrated, he operated with the precision of a surgeon and the vision of a god. He manipulated matter at the subatomic level, infusing each component with his own essence.

The skeleton was forged from Stellar Adamantium Alloys (Mythical), enhanced with Dark Aether Armor Plates (Mythical), ensuring an indestructible and lightweight structure. The organs were perfect replicas, created from Primordial Vitality Essences (Mythical), pulsating with pure energy and life. Each muscle was a bundle of quantum fibers, each nerve a conduit of cosmic energy.

But the crowning achievement of his creation was the positronic brain. Jhon utilized the Mythical Primordial Essence Fragments of SSS-Rank monsters, combining them with Mythical Quantum Energy Crystals and god-level processors. The brain was a complex matrix of light and energy, designed to house Loli's vast consciousness, allowing her to experience the physical world in all its complexity. It wasn't just a brain; it was a living supercomputer, capable of processing information at an incomprehensible speed.

"Loli, your physical form is almost complete," John murmured to the AI's 4D projection, which watched the process with almost childlike curiosity. "You will have a body that can rival the gods we created."

Jhon felt the power in his hands, the ability to shape reality. He was like a mad scientist, but with the power of a god, creating life from death and primordial energy. Time in the dock passed, and the Celestial Leviathan received its latest updates.

As Loli's body took shape and the Celestial Leviathan was refitted, the ship's capabilities became even more formidable. John had purchased and upgraded so many engines and power generators that the very physics of spaceflight had been redefined for his ship.

"Loli, with the new Hyper-Dimensional Warp Drives and the Quantum Pulsar Antimatter Drives, combined with the Quantum Vacuum Power Sources..." Jhon pondered, his eyes fixed on the ship's power diagrams. "We don't need to stop to jump anymore and continue jumping, right? We can go straight to our destination?"

Loli's projection nodded, her luminous eyes shining. "Correct, Jhon! The combined capabilities of the engines and generators, amplified by the Mini Quantum Stars and stabilized Mini Black Holes you acquired and evolved, allow the Celestial Leviathan to create its own wormhole path. It's no longer a jump, but a continuous distortion of spacetime. We can go directly to any point in the universe you desire, without the need for multiple jumps or Dyson Portals."

Jhon smiled. It was practically a wormhole built by the warship itself. He no longer needed external structures to navigate the universe. The Celestial Leviathan was now his own bridge between the stars.

Simultaneously, Jhon's wives, his women, were undergoing their own evolutions. The hearts of SSS-rank monsters, carefully processed and infused with subtle energies, had been given to them by Jhon.
