The Al-Me’raj glided into the deep, gravitational embrace of the dead planetoid with absolute silence.The resource rock floating within the uncharted depths of the Obsidian Trench was completely hollowed out, shaped by eons of spatial erosion into a jagged, dark crescent that drifted aimlessly through the midnight-blue starlight currents.
Its surface was completely barren, coated in a thick layer of prehistoric cosmic frost, yet deep within its hollow, cavernous belly, a violent, raw energy signature pulsed.
It was a massive cluster of unrefined, volatile void crystals and dense space-time minerals—rare catalysts that had naturally condensed over millions of years away from the burning light of the central Heavens.The massive obsidian hull of the star-metal cruiser settled into a stationary anchor pattern, hovering just fifty feet above the jagged, crystalline rims of the central chasm.
The dark-matter sails folded inward with a rhythmic hiss, their surface rippling like liquid ink as they entered a resting state.At the rear of the main command deck, Sargon stood up from his captain’s throne.
His long, messy white hair fluttered slightly in the localized gravity field of the asteroid, the ornate golden headband firmly holding the locks above his dead-pan, expressionless eyes.
On his left hand, [The Sovereign’s Signet: Nihil] cast a faint, cold purple reflection against the polished stone planks.
“Sovereign,” the mechanical hawk avatar of the Core Spirit materialized right at the edge of the bow railing, its constellation wings glowing with a calculating azure light.
“The mineral matrix inside this crescent planetoid is exceptionally pure. It contains over forty tons of unrefined Space-Time Ore and volatile Void Shards. However, the mineral core is highly unstable; standard lower-realm extraction methods would cause a spatial implosion that would collapse the entire sector.”Sargon walked slowly toward the edge of the bow, his bare feet making no sound against the cold metal planks.
He looked down into the dark, yawning abyss of the crescent chasm, where thousands of raw, jagged violet crystals were glowing like buried stars in the deep earth.
His countenance remained completely flat, showing that characteristic, detached calm that made his internal intentions impossible to read.”Standard extraction is for those who serve the structure,” Sargon whispered, his voice cutting through the deep-space silence with a chilling weight.He did not step off the ship this time.
He simply extended his right arm over the railing, his pale fingers turning downward toward the glowing mineral lake below.
His left chest pulsed violently, the primordial spark within his Consciousness unsealing his second reality-bending law.
[Ultimate Attribute: Ruler of Authority] initialized.Liquefy.
Flow.The silent, mental edicts hit the universal ledger like an imperial stamp.
Sargon’s consciousness did not interact with the crystals as a miner or a craftsman; his authority targeted the very sub-atomic concepts of “Solidarity” and “Location” binding the minerals to the planetoid’s crust.
Under the voice of the entity who existed before the laws of form were drawn, the universe was physically forced to rewrite the properties of the stone.CRACK…
RUMBLE.A massive, subterranean tremor rippled through the crescent planetoid.
The thousands of jagged, unrefined violet crystals embedded along the canyon walls did not shatter.
Instead, their crystalline lattices violently dissolved, turning into a glowing, roaring river of pure, liquid violet starlight that surged upward from the deep cracks of the earth.
The forty tons of raw Space-Time Ore and volatile Void Shards lost their solid form entirely, transforming into a massive, twisting vortex of pure, unrefined cosmic energy that defied the local gravity of the asteroid.High above the river of liquid mineral, the river did not splash.
Under the absolute command of Sargon’s authority, the glowing violet liquid formed a massive, seamless current that rose vertically into the air, flying straight toward the open cargo bays of the Al-Me’raj.
“Incredible…” the Core Spirit hawk avatar whispered, its constellation wings shivering as it monitored the ship’s internal logistics console.
“The raw minerals are bypassing all standard physical filtration. The law is forcing the unrefined elements to naturally align with the vessel’s storage matrix.”[Notice: ‘Ultimate Attribute: Ruler of Authority’ has successfully rewritten the material properties of the target planetoid.][Log: 42.7 tons of pure, liquefied Space-Time Element and Void Essence have been successfully transferred into the ‘Al-Me’raj’ central storage matrices.][Vessel Refueling Status: 100% (Maximum Overdrive Threshold Achieved). All secondary sub-dimensional vaults and emergency backup arrays are fully saturated.]As the massive river of liquid starlight finished pouring into the ship’s storage bays, a tiny, residual strand of the raw, unrefined void essence did not enter the hull.
Instead, guided by the pulsing Signet of Nihil on Sargon’s finger, the strand of pure cosmic energy crawled up his pale arm, sinking directly into his skin.
The raw energy was highly volatile, capable of instantly incinerating the spiritual veins of a high-tier cultivator.
But the moment it entered Sargon’s hollow body, it hit the bottomless abyss of his Primordial Consciousness.
The volatile energy didn’t burn; it was completely, effortlessly digested, triggering a sudden, deep evolutionary loop within his internal system.HUMMM.A violent, invisible shockwave of absolute authority rippled outward from Sargon’s body, causing the heavy silk drapes of the captain’s quarters far behind him to rustle wildly.
The system notifications flashed rapidly across his vision, blinding his sight with a series of clean, universal starlight text:[Alert: The Primordial Consciousness has successfully digested the unrefined Space-Time Essence.][Evolution Sequence Initiated: Bypassing lower-realm restrictions…
The user’s internal template is adapting to the Ether Sea’s higher axis.][System Notice: The localized threshold for your total published records has expanded.
Your secondary law has evolved.][Attribute Upgrade: ‘Ultimate Attribute: Ruler of Authority’ has unlocked its secondary passive chain — [Concept Override: Mass Control].][Current Effect Unlocked: The user can now manipulate the weight, density, and physical mass of any lower-realm object, spell, or bounded soul from a distance without physical contact.]Sargon slowly lowered his hand, his pale fingers sliding back into the flowing sleeves of his purple merchant robes.
His countenance remained entirely undisturbed, his eyes reflecting the now completely dark, drained crescent planetoid below.
He had completely plundered the mineral lifeforce of an entire asteroid and unlocked a new layer of his universal power without even taking a single step off his ship.
“The core is fully saturated, young master!” the Core Spirit hawk chimed reverently, its constellation wings pulsing with a brilliant, celebratory blue light.
“The Al-Me’raj is now operating at Maximum Overdrive. We have enough energy to execute multiple Void Drifts or maintain an absolute cloaking shroud across several star systems.”At the secondary helm, Kaelen stood perfectly still, his vacant eyes staring at the fully illuminated console.
Under the iron vice of Sargon’s law, he didn’t possess the capacity to feel shock, but his hands adjusted the steering levers with an increased precision, feeling the massive surge of raw power flowing through the ship’s star-metal frame.Sargon walked back toward his grand obsidian throne, his gold-embroidered robes trailing gracefully across the pulsing violet runes of the deck.
He sat down, leaning his head back against the cushions as his galaxy-filled eyes focused once more on the endless, rolling nebulae of the open Ether Sea ahead.”The nest is empty,” Sargon said coldly, his quiet voice echoing through the star-metal deck.
“Untether the ship. Let us sail deeper into the uncharted currents. The Eon Deities will soon realize that the balance of the Prime Axis has begun to slide.”
“Command received, Sovereign,” the Core Spirit replied, its hawk form dissolving back into a beam of light that shot directly into the main mast.The Al-Me’raj let out a mighty, thunderous hum that caused the remnants of the crescent planetoid to vibrate.
With a sudden, silent surge of its fully maxed engines, the colossal obsidian cruiser launched forward, its dark-matter sails catching the heavy, fast tides of the deep star ocean as it disappeared into the boundless expanse of the infinity, leaving the dead rock far behind in its wake.
