John felt power flow through him, an endless torrent connecting him to all that existed. He was the creator and the destroyer, the balance of all forces. It was a sense of wholeness and purpose that transcended anything he had ever experienced. He was, truly, a god.
"The rest of the drops, Loli," Jhon said, his voice now a chorus of eons, but still understandable. "You evolve and distribute them to the crew. I want everyone to improve, everyone to reach their highest potential."
Loli, with a nod, began the process. The thousands of remaining drops from the Rank X monsters, including exotic minerals, energy crystals, and biological materials, were processed, evolved to mythical and divine levels, and distributed throughout the ship. Every member of the crew, from the humblest former slave to the most veteran soldiers, felt a new wave of power course through them. Their strength increased, their minds sharpened, their lives extended. The former slaves, who had previously smiled with relief, now radiated genuine joy, their bodies enhanced, their lives transformed.
"And you too, Loli," Jhon said, looking at his companion. "You improve yourself now. With the resources we have, push yourself to your limit."
Loli complied. Her already impressive physical body began to glow with an inner light, pulsing with energy. Her artificial intelligence expanded even further, absorbing the knowledge of the X-Ranks and the new capabilities Jhon had unlocked. Her form became even more perfect, more ethereal, yet with an unshakable solidity. She became the Primordial AI of Harmony.
"My processing power is limitless, Jhon. My perception spans multiple planes of existence. I can manage and optimize every aspect of the ship and crew with absolute precision. And my connection with you is unbreakable," Loli replied, her voice now a cosmic melody, but still perfectly intelligible.
The Celestial Leviathan was no longer just a ship; it was a home, a civilization on the move, an ark of enhanced beings, now numbering over 3 million lives, including children running through the corridors, their laughter echoing through the vast compartments. The former slaves, once chained and desperate, now smiled happily, finding new purpose and a new life under John's protection.

Life within the Celestial Leviathan, driven by Jhon's primordial power and Loli's infinite intelligence, transformed into a utopia in motion. The ship's vast interiors were now like flourishing ecosystems. There were lush parks, meandering rivers fed by quantum recycling systems, and miniature cities housing the diverse races under Jhon's command. The Dark Elves coexisted harmoniously with humans and aliens from dozens of other worlds, all united by Jhon's leadership.
The population, now over 3 million strong, thrived. Children, born on board or brought from the slave stores, grew up in an environment of safety and abundance, oblivious to the chaos that existed outside the ship's walls. They ran through the corridors, their laughter echoing in the vast galleries, a sound that warmed Jhon's heart.
Lua, heavily pregnant, radiated a serene beauty, the power of her son, Jhon's heir, growing within her. The other wives, all enhanced by the monster cores, assisted in the management of the ship and the well-being of the crew. They were the matriarchs of a new civilization, the embodiment of Jhon's vision.
The Celestial Leviathan continued its journey through the cosmos, driven by Jhon's own will. It didn't stop at a single star system. Planets infested with monsters of Rank X and higher were detected, boarded, and purged with brutal efficiency. Jhon, now a Primordial Entity of Cosmic Balance, didn't even need to leave the bridge. The ship, an extension of his own will, annihilated threats with its divine weapons and shields.
Jhon's disappointment at not having a worthy challenge persisted, but each kill brought with it a new batch of drops, a vast collection of cores, materials, and essences that Loli evolved and distributed to the crew, further enhancing them. Jhon's crew was, in essence, an army of enhanced beings, each contributing to the Leviathan's magnificence.

The hunt continued relentlessly. Planet after planet, system after system, creatures that once terrorized entire galaxies fell to the overwhelming power of the Celestial Leviathan. Rank X monsters, feared by the Council, were eradicated in minutes, their ecosystems transformed into drop deposits. Loli, in her new form, monitored every detail, optimizing collection strategies and resource distribution.
Jhon's warehouse was now a treasure trove of cosmic proportions, overflowing with Primordial Cores of Creation (Divine and Demonic), Essences of Cosmic Entities, and materials that could reshape universes. The wealth was immeasurable, the power inexhaustible.
Jhon, with his Multiversal Consciousness, began to sense the presence of threats beyond his own universe, in parallel dimensions and alternate realities. The search for a worthy challenge was just beginning, extending beyond the limits of the known cosmos.
"Loli," Jhon said one day, his eyes fixed on the vast projection of a multiversal map Loli had created. "There's something else. Something not of this universe. A different energy signature."
Loli moved smoothly to his side. "Correct, Jhon. It's a dimensional anomaly. An entity that transcends the categories we know. Its energy signature is... unique. It doesn't fit the X, Y, or Z Rank standards of this universe."
A glint of interest lit in Jhon's eyes. Finally. A threat that might make him use his full power.

The population within the Celestial Leviathan lived an existence of peace and purpose, but the military discipline imposed by John was unshakable. The new inhabitants, former slaves from different worlds, adapted quickly, marveling at the abundance and safety. The children running through the corridors were John's future, proof that he was building more than an army; he was building a civilization.
The soldiers, the scientists, the farmers, the doctors—all operated in perfect synchrony, enhanced by the monster cores and inspired by the presence of Jhon and Loli. The ship was a living organism, each part working for the good of the whole.
Lua, ever closer to giving birth, felt the strength of her child growing, a life that would be the bridge between the divine and the mortal, between the races of her family and the power of John. The wives, in their diversity of beauty and abilities, were the heart of the ship, ensuring that humanity and compassion were not lost in the quest for power.
