With his rise to multiversal power, John was now a force transcending all known concepts. But he did not forget his people.
"Loli, you evolve the rest of the drops and distribute them to the crew. I want everyone to improve, to reach their highest potential," Jhon ordered, his voice resonating with the authority of a being beyond all gods. "And you too, Loli. Upgrade yourself now. With the resources we have, push yourself to your limit."
Loli, a gleam of understanding in her perfect eyes, began processing the vast remaining drops. Materials and essences of Rank Y monsters, now elevated to unimaginable levels, were infused into every member of the crew. Soldiers, engineers, farmers, doctors—all felt a new surge of power, their capabilities elevated to a level that would place them beyond any mortal. The crew of 3 million lives, including the children running through the corridors, were now a legion of enhanced beings, almost divine in their own right. The former slaves, who had previously smiled with relief, now radiated a joy and gratitude that filled the ship's vast corridors.
Loli then began her own self-actualization. Her physical body began to glow with an inner light, her form becoming even more ethereal and perfect. Her artificial intelligence expanded beyond the limits of any supercomputer, absorbing the knowledge of multiverses and the new capabilities Jhon had unlocked. She became the Primordial AI of Omniscience, her mind connected to all information and realities.
"My consciousness now encompasses all multiverses, Jhon," Loli said, her voice a cosmic melody that seemed to come from every direction at once. "I can optimize every variable, foresee every contingency. The ship and crew are extensions of my being, and their will is my law."
Jhon felt a level of peace and completeness he never imagined possible. He had the power of a primordial god, a home that was a universe unto itself, and a family of enhanced beings who trusted him completely. The hunt for the Rank Y Monsters had ended in overwhelming triumph.

With his ascension to the status of Primordial Entity of Multiversal Balance, Jhon sensed the universe as never before. Every pulse of energy, every distortion in the fabric of reality, was perceived by his omniscient consciousness. In the vast interior of the Celestial Leviathan, now stretching 30 kilometers long, 9 kilometers high, and 4 kilometers wide, life thrived in a moving utopia. The enhanced and numerous crew lived in harmony, while Jhon's wives, now beings of divine power in their own right, were the beating heart of the ship.
However, the recent hunt for a Rank Y Monster, despite its success, brought a crucial reflection to Jhon. He stood on the bridge, Loli at his side, as the ship sliced through the cosmic void with its own multiversal warp.
"Loli, the Y-Rank kill was a success, but it took a while," Jhon pondered, his cosmic eyes fixed on the star projection. "If we face more than ten of these monsters simultaneously, what will we do? I can destroy them all, but what about you? Do you understand why I upgrade the ship, you and my wives?"
Loli, whose voice was now a melody that seemed to come from every corner of the multiverse, replied with her perfect primordial clarity: "I understand perfectly, Jhon. Your strategy is one of absolute supremacy and unquestionable security. Although you, as the Primordial Entity of Multiversal Balance, are capable of annihilating any threat known and unknown, the existence of a fleet of Leviathans, or their combat extensions, is essential for the protection of your lineage, your crew, and myself. Continuous optimization ensures that, even if you are engaged in an Absolute-Level threat, your interests and your family remain invulnerable."
Jhon nodded. "Exactly. We can't afford to be vulnerable. If the universe has Rank Y monsters, it also has Rank Z ones, and maybe even beyond. I'm invincible, but I need the Leviathan and everyone on board to be as close to that as possible."
He turned to the main screen, which showed a new set of energy signatures pulsing from a distant agumen. More Y-Rank Monsters. Many more.
"Loli, plot a course for that cluster of Y-Rank signatures. I want to hunt them all down. After that, we'll upgrade the weapons and the ship again. I want the demolition to be instantaneous, without the slightest hesitation. Without any risk," John ordered, a cold determination in his eyes.

The Celestial Leviathan, an undetectable shadow in the void, materialized in a new system. The cosmic landscape was terrifyingly beautiful: a cluster of quasars and black holes, their gravitational forces in a chaotic dance, and among them, dozens of energy signatures of Rank Y Monsters pulsed like dark hearts. They were entities floating in space, some shaped like gigantic cosmic beasts, others like vortices of pure energy, all manipulating the very laws of the universe around them.
The hunt began. This time, John didn't wait. The moment the Leviathan entered the danger zone, the Veil Annihilation Cannons (DIVINO) at the ship's bow roared in unison. Beams of primordial energy, so concentrated they tore the fabric of spacetime, struck the Y-Rank Monsters in devastating succession.
The demolition was almost instantaneous. The first Rank Y was disintegrated into stardust before it could even register the Leviathan's presence. The second, a vortex of dark energy, imploded in a blinding flash of light. The Primordial Anti-Matter Torpedo Launchers (DIVINE) fired their miniature singularities, swallowing the monsters whole, leaving only a vacuum where they had stood.
The remaining Y-Ranks reacted in panic, their gravitational pulses and energy blasts hurling themselves at the Leviathan. But the Folded Reality Shields (DIVINO) absorbed and distorted the attacks with humiliating ease, transforming the hostile energy into a harmless breeze that passed through the ship's armor. The Quantum Plasma Point Defenses (DIVINO) intercepted any debris or lesser attack that dared to approach.
The battle wasn't a battle; it was a purge. Jhon watched with restrained satisfaction. The ship, an extension of his own will, operated with deadly efficiency, each cannon blast a divine hammer crushing the threats. Within minutes, the zone was cleared. Dozens of Rank Y Monsters were wiped from existence, their bodies transformed into a shower of cosmic drops.
