The Celestial Leviathan, a shooting star of steel and power, cut through the void of space or hovered with dignity above the clouds, as Jhon desired. Within its depths, life teemed. The son of Jhon and Lua grew in the womb of the elven princess, a symbol of the new age that was dawning. Jhon, an Ascended Entity, felt the universe pulsing through his veins, and the vastness of the drops in his shed cried out for attention.
On the bridge, Jhon was surrounded by Loli, now more interactive in her 4D projection, and his wives. The term "wives" was now more than a social convention; it was a multifaceted reality of loyalty, devotion, and pleasure. Jhon's family continued to grow.
"Loli," Jhon ordered, his voice resonating with the authority of a being beyond mortal. "I want you to evolve all the S-grade cores we have in the warehouse. We will maximize each one's potential. We will not waste anything."
Loli complied. The Leviathan's vast warehouse became a cosmic alchemy laboratory. Dozens of energy cores, claws, armor, and organs from S-, SS-, and SSS-rank monsters began to glow and transform. The energy emanating from the warehouse was palpable, a symphony of raw power being refined and enhanced.
[Drop Evolution Complete!]
Energy Cores: Dozens of S-Rank Energy Cores became Dimensional Energy Cores (Legendary). SS-Rank ones became Quantum Energy Cores (Mythical). And the few SSS-Rank ones evolved into Primordial Essence Fragments (Mythical), each capable of powering a city for years or powering the engines of smaller ships.
Armor and Organic Materials: SS and SSS-rank Demon armor has been transformed into Dark Aether Armor Plates (Mythical), capable of absorbing energy and reflecting attacks. Claws and bones have been transformed into Stellar Adamantium Alloys (Legendary/Mythical), highly resistant forging materials.
Organs and Essences: Hearts and other internal organs of high-level monsters have been converted into Primordial Vitality Essences (Mythic), capable of granting accelerated regeneration and instant healing when consumed.
While Loli processed the evolutions, Jhon turned to his wives. He now had over twelve wives, a harem of beauty and diversity that represented the union of races within the Celestial Leviathan.
"My wives, you have evolved with me," Jhon declared, his eyes roving over each of them. He felt the connection with them, the loyalty, the love. Each had grown in strength and wisdom, adapting to the new reality alongside Jhon.
Lua: The Elven Princess, now pregnant with Jhon's child, radiated a serene beauty and protective power. Her original elven vitality had been enhanced, and she possessed a natural affinity with flora and fauna, able to calm lesser beasts and promote accelerated plant growth in the hydroponic modules.
Lyra: The elven warrior, with her delicacy and strength, had honed her combat skills and intuition. She had become a master tactician, able to predict enemy movements and effectively coordinate squads.
Lyanna: The ebony-haired, violet-eyed elf, her aura of mystery now a mesmerizing presence. She had developed a near-perfect camouflage ability, able to blend into the shadows and move undetected.
Sylvanas: The silver-haired elf, her ethereal grace had translated into supernatural agility and precision in combat. She was an elite archer and marksman, capable of hitting targets at impossible distances.
Faelan: The elf with wild features and amber eyes, her hunting nature intensified. She possessed enhanced sense of smell and hearing, able to track any creature and sense threats from miles away.
Elara: The human Jhon rescued, her resilience transformed into an unshakable inner strength. She was the crew's medic and caregiver, her healing abilities enhanced, and her touch able to soothe pain and speed recovery.
Seraphina: The red-haired, green-eyed human, her vibrant energy had been channeled into inspiring leadership. She was the organizer of the population, able to motivate and coordinate the masses, keeping morale high.
Zara: The dark-skinned, black-haired human, her earthly sensuality had evolved into a magnetic presence. She was the ship's diplomat, able to defuse tensions and negotiate with foreign peoples with her eloquence and charisma.
And the other four, women of different races who joined Jhon:
Kasumi (Japanese Human): A silent ninja, expert in infiltration and stealth combat. Her eyes were sharp, her body a lethal weapon.
Anya (Russian Human): A military strategist with a keen mind for battle tactics and ship defense. Her calm under pressure was unshakable.
Zylos (Dark Elf): A cunning Dark Elf, capable of manipulating shadows and conjuring small dark flames. Her loyalty to Jhon was absolute.
Aerith (Wood Elf): An elf with moss-colored hair and leaf-green eyes, with a deep connection to nature and the ability to communicate with elemental beings.
Jhon watched them, a sense of pride and belonging filling him. They were his support, his strength, his family.

"Loli, plot a course for the largest trading post. I want to see what they have, and if we can further evolve the ship," Jhon ordered, his eyes fixed on the galaxy unfolding in his mind. "We also need to buy spare parts, and we're going to enlarge the ship. It will be 1 kilometer wider, and the bow will extend to 500 meters, keeping the harpoon tip. But the total length will be 20 kilometers. And, of course, we'll add more engines."
Loli displayed a star map, plotting a complex route through unknown systems. "The largest known trading post, Jhon, is in a distant star system. It's an intergalactic trading hub, with resources of astronomical proportions. There's a high probability we'll find what you need to elevate the Celestial Leviathan to a new level."
"Excellent," Jhon said. "Remember: whenever we buy, we'll evolve everything. Everything will be evolved after it's delivered to the ship's docks, for no one to see." He didn't want to reveal Loli's true power or his own system manipulation capabilities.
Jhon knew his gold coins were no ordinary thing. Through his research at Earth's trading posts and Loli's information, he had discovered the truth: cosmic gold coins were a universal currency, accepted in any universe, a legacy of some previous civilization or system. He now possessed trillions upon trillions of coins, a storehouse so full it no longer made sense to count them. He was the richest being in a universe of ruins.
The purchases would be monumental.
