The obsidian prow of the Al-Me’raj cut smoothly through the silent, dark Indigo star tides as it lifted off from the radar shadows of the lawless outpost.With the rare Eclipse Lotus completely dissolved and integrated into Sargon’s spiritual layout, the internal micro-fractures inside his human vessel had fully closed.

The cold, mechanical universal system interface hovering before his vision had finally cleared the red efficiency penalties, returning his energy matrix to a stable, baseline operational state.

The massive sails, woven from pure dark matter like flowing liquid ink, billowed out to their absolute limits, drinking in the dense, unrefined space-time minerals stored inside the lower cargo bays to maintain the ship’s maximum overdrive momentum.Sargon sat calmly upon his grand captain’s throne at the rear of the command deck.Full novel: Sovereign of the Bornless Sea — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

His messy white hair fell loosely around the ornate golden headband, its central violet jewel casting a soft reflection against the dark cushions.

His expressionless, dead-pan face was completely still, his pitch-black void eyes watching the distant, shifting colors of the open Ether Sea.

Beside his throne, the mechanical hawk avatar of the Core Spirit suddenly let out a sharp, metallic screech.

Its blue constellation wings flared with a violent, pulsating red warning light that illuminated the entire star-metal deck.RUMBLE…A sudden, catastrophic tremor rippled through the floorboards of the massive cruiser.

The liquid starlight currents beneath the ship’s hull violently churned, turning from a calm indigo into a chaotic, boiling whirlpool of pure black nothingness.

The space around the vessel began to warp and stretch, twisting the local gravitational parameters out of alignment.

[High-Risk Alert: Cosmic Spatial Distortion Detected!][Entity Identified: Primordial Void Leviathan (Ancient Concept Class Beast).][Warning: The target is a self-manifested cosmic entity that actively feeds on space-time elements and star tides.

Its raw concept density matches a high-tier star cluster.][Vessel Safety Matrix: A massive physical lockdown has been initialized upon the ship’s lower star-metal frame.]

Out of the boiling dark whirlpool below, a terrifying, colossal nightmare rose into the open void.It was a creature of absolute myth—a Void Leviathan whose massive, chiseled body stretched for miles across the star ocean.

Its skin was made of overlapping, jagged scales of hardened cosmic obsidian that absorbed the ambient starlight, and its cavernous, circular jaw was lined with thousands of rows of glowing purple-black teeth capable of crushing planetary hulls into dust.

With a silent, deep-space roar that sent a violent kinetic shockwave through the local sector, the beast unleashed twelve colossal, mile-long tentacles, slamming them down across the deck of the Al-Me’raj and wrapping around the obsidian hull like an unbreakable iron vice.The massive star-metal frame of the ship groaned under the sudden, immense pressure.

The dark-matter sails violently flapped, losing their traction against the warped currents as the beast began to violently drag the legendary cruiser downward into its open jaw.

Sargon willed his presence to expand, his left hand lifting from the armrest as [The Sovereign’s Signet: Nihil] flared with a bright violet light on his middle finger.

He pointed his finger toward the massive head of the approaching monster.FLASH.Before the law could leave his mind, a massive, crimson universal warning prompt violently blocked his vision, pulsing with an intense, alerting text:

[CRITICAL SYSTEM WARNING: CONCEPT DELETION ATTEMPT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS!][Analysis: The Void Leviathan possesses an ancient primordial soul-density that far exceeds the current unsealed threshold of your mortal human vessel.][Penalty Forecast: Forcing ‘Ultimate Attribute: Sovereign Void’ upon an Ancient Concept Class Beast will trigger a 300% universal backlash. Result: Total collapse and disintegration of the user’s human shell.]

Sargon’s finger frozen mid-air.

His face remained expressionless, but the miniature galaxies within his pitch-black eyes spun in rapid, calculative circles.

He calmly analyzed the data.

He was currently too weak.

His unsealed gate was insufficient to handle a primordial monster of this tier head-on without tearing his own fragile physical vessel apart from the inside out.”My Lord, do not unleash the void!” the Core Spirit hawk shrieked in panic, its constellation form flickering wildly against the red warning lights.

“The beast’s raw weight is tied to the fundamental structure of the trench!

Deleting it right now will tear your soul-veins to shreds!””I know,” Sargon whispered, his quiet voice carrying an ancient, imperial coldness as he slowly lowered his left hand back to the stone armrest.He didn’t panic.

He simply looked down the long, creaking deck toward the secondary helm.

“Kaelen.

Cleave the limbs.””By your absolute will, My Lord,” a hardened, booming bark resonated from the front of the ship.

Kaelen violently let go of the steering rudders, disengaging the manual matrices.

The direct robotic thralldom inside his mind was gone, replaced by a hyper-focused, razor-sharp state of active alignment with Sargon’s supreme authority.

His arms were heavily bandaged, but his presence was massive, radiating the raw, battle-hardened aura of an elite desert survivalist veteran who had hunted down sand-dragons before entering the stars.SHING.With a clean, metallic ring, Kaelen drew his curved scimitar from its sheath.He didn’t channel flashy, loud energy beams.

Instead, he channeled his own Tier 5 mortal mana through the dark-steel blade.

But because his mind was permanently aligned with Sargon’s presence, a trace of his master’s newly upgraded [Concept Override: Mass Control] law leaked into Kaelen’s physical weapon, making the dark-steel blade vibrate with a dense, invisible artificial weight.Kaelen sprinted across the star-metal deck, his heavy leather boots stamping hard against the pulsing violet runes.

A colossal, mile-long tentacle covered in jagged obsidian spikes violently smashed down directly toward his head, the sheer wind pressure capable of flattening a mountain.

Kaelen didn’t slide or dodge this time.

He planted his boots firmly into the deck planks, held his scimitar with both hands, and executed a brutal, vertical upward slash directly into the oncoming nightmare.BOOM!The physical impact tore through the vacuum of space like an explosion.

Because Kaelen’s blade was infused with the trace law of mass manipulation, the edge of his curved scimitar did not just cut—it hit the tentacle with the artificial mass of an entire collapsing asteroid range.

The colossal limb of the Void Leviathan violently buckled, its hardened obsidian scales shattering into millions of black shards under the immense, crushing weight of the strike.With a clean, fluid horizontal twist of his hips, Kaelen followed through, cleanly severing the mile-long tentacle in two.

Green, glowing cosmic blood sprayed into the void as the severed limb drifted away into the star sea.The monster let out another silent, agonizing roar, its remaining eleven tentacles thrashing wildly against the ship’s frame, trying to crush the warrior on the deck.

Kaelen didn’t pause for a single breath.

He utilized his elite Sand-Strand Footwork, his body blurring across the star-metal planks like a dark ghost.

He stepped precisely through the narrow, chaotic gaps of the thrashing tentacles, making the colossal monster’s heavy attacks look completely foolish.

Every time his scimitar struck a limb, a massive shockwave of artificial mass exploded, systematically breaking the beast’s obsidian armor plates and carving deep, structural wounds into its flesh through pure, raw physical veteran combat skill.CRASH!

SPARK!

CLANG!In less than three minutes of high-octane physical warfare, Kaelen single-handedly severed four more colossal tentacles, completely breaking the monster’s iron vice grip on the Al-Me’raj’s lower hull.The Void Leviathan’s massive, circular jaw was now less than twenty feet away from the ship’s prow, its glowing purple-black teeth ready to snap the entire vessel in half.

Kaelen ran straight toward the edge of the bow railing, leaping out into the open void with his scimitar raised high above his head, his golden armlets flaring with the absolute peak of his Tier 5 warrior mana.He drove his mass-infused blade straight down into the creature’s colossal upper snout.CRACK-BOOM!

The immense, artificial mass forced upon the creature’s head was so catastrophic that its snout violently warped and caved inward.

The Void Leviathan’s massive body was forcefully, brutally slammed downward by the weight of the strike, its enormous jaw throwing it off balance and sending it spiraling helplessly away from the ship’s trajectory.

Realizing that the star-metal vessel was defended by a vicious, highly capable physical warrior, the wounded monster panicked.

It hastily retracted its remaining tentacles, turning its massive obsidian body around and diving deep back into the boiling dark whirlpool of the star tides, fleeing into the uncharted depths of the trench.The spatial distortion violently snapped shut, leaving the local sector of the Ether Sea perfectly quiet, clear, and silent once more.Kaelen floated smoothly back onto the main deck, landing firmly on his boots.

His chest was heaving violently from the immense physical strain, his bandages soaked in sweat and cosmic blood, but his posture remained completely unyielding, his sharp gaze fixed on the empty space ahead.

He had successfully defended the legendary leviathan through pure, raw physical mastery without drawing the attention of the distant Eon Deities.

Sargon sat calmly upon his grand throne, his expressionless, face returning to its lazy calm.

He looked down the long deck toward his bleeding warrior, a faint trace of supreme satisfaction drifting across his pitch-black void eyes.”The rudders are clear, My Lord,” Kaelen spoke, his voice carrying the calm, steady weight of a highly respected first mate.

He sheathed his scimitar with a clean, metallic click.”Maintain the overdrive, Kaelen,” Sargon commanded softly, his quiet voice echoing through the star-metal planks.

“The gates of the inner territories are waiting.”The Al-Me’raj let out a low, majestic hum, its massive dark-matter sails catching the fast currents of the open star ocean as it launched forward, gliding smoothly through the silent graveyard of stone and disappearing into the deep, uncharted territories of the infinite multiverse, leaving the defeated beast far behind in its wake.
