While the Leviathan's massive structure was being refurbished and its weapons tested, John turned his attention to his wives. They were the heart of his family, and he wanted each of them to reach the peak of their potential.
"Loli, I want my wives with their cores at the highest level and power level. Use whatever is necessary from our stockpiles," Jhon ordered, his voice soft but firm. He knew his primordial cores, of which he had plenty from his X-Rank kills, could elevate them to an even higher level.
Loli, with a nod, began the final enhancement process. Jhon's twelve wives—Lua, Lyra, Lyanna, Sylvanas, Faelan, Elara, Seraphina, Zara, Kasumi, Anya, Zylos, and Aerith—gathered in a special meditation chamber within the ship. One by one, Loli infused each of them with purified and concentrated fragments of Primordial Cores of Creation (Divine and Demonic), as well as essences of Rank X cosmic entities.
It wasn't just an enhancement; it was a second ascension for them. Their bodies glowed with inner lights, their auras intensified, and their existing abilities were elevated to a level bordering on the divine. They became beings of unparalleled power, guardians and advisors, each a force to be reckoned with in their own right.
Moon: Her connection with life and creation deepened. She could now not only heal, but also restore life and manipulate the essence of existence on a small scale, as well as having an almost symbiotic affinity with the most powerful creatures.
Lyra: Her reflexes and agility were now instantaneous, and she could create illusions of mass so real they fooled even the most advanced sensors. Her gaze could paralyze not only the body, but the very will of her targets.
Lyanna: Her mastery of shadows and invisibility was absolute. She could travel through shadows in the blink of an eye and manipulate darkness to create massive constructs and illusions, even draining the light from a room.
Sylvanas: Her accuracy was flawless, hitting targets at intergalactic distances. She could infuse her projectiles with pure energy, making them capable of piercing Z-level armor and disabling power systems.
Faelan: Her senses extended to encompass the galaxy, and she could track energies and auras across dimensions. Her empathic ability allowed her to control the minds and wills of lesser creatures and beings.
Elara: Her healing ability became thaumaturgical. She could not only restore health and regenerate, but also manipulate her own genetic makeup to enhance living beings and even extend their lives.
Seraphina: Her inspiring presence was a wave of power that could transform cowards into heroes and raise the morale of entire armies to fanatical heights. She could emanate an aura of protection that shielded allies from energy attacks.
Zara: Her charisma was an almost hypnotic force. She could manipulate emotions and influence decisions on a planetary scale, turning enemies into allies without the need for combat, and even forging unbreakable bonds of loyalty.
Kasumi: Her stealth was legendary. She could move without leaving any trace of her existence, and her attacks could strike vital points that disabled the most formidable powers, leaving no trace.
Anya: Her strategic mind was supercomputational. She could foresee dozens of battle scenarios, calculate probabilities, and formulate foolproof tactical plans, always ahead of her opponents.
Zylos: Her control over shadow magic was absolute. She could summon and control shadow entities, cast curses that drained the vitality and luck of her enemies, and manipulate dark energies to cause mass destruction.
Aerith: Her connection with nature and elementals deepened to a cosmic level. She could summon creatures of aether and manifest natural phenomena on a planetary scale, transforming landscapes and defending the Leviathan with primordial elements.
With the Celestial Leviathan now an indestructible fortress and his wives transformed into beings of divine power, Jhon was ready for the next challenge. The galaxy was cleansed of Rank Xs. It was time to seek something greater.

With the Celestial Leviathan's upgrade complete and his wives elevated to a new level of power, John was ready for the next chapter of his hunt. The ship, a rectangular mass 30 kilometers long, 9 kilometers high, and 4 kilometers wide, with its four additional 15-kilometer side sections, was now a terrifying vision of power and magnificence. Its divine weapons, concentrated at the bow, were ready to obliterate anything in its path.
"Loli, what's our next target?" Jhon asked, his voice echoing across the bridge as he watched the stars spin through the 4D projection.
Loli, her electric blue eyes fixed on the multiversal map, replied: "John, with the purge of Rank Xs in this universe, the next logical step is to search for Rank Y entities. My analysis indicates that they reside in star systems with high energy instability, often in dense nebulae or near black holes, places where the laws of physics are distorted."
"Perfect," John said, a satisfied smile on his lips. "Plot the route to the closest and most powerful of them. I want to feel what a Rank Y can do. And I want their drops."
The Celestial Leviathan, an entity unto itself, activated its hyper-warp engines. The ship did not fold into space; it simply disappeared, reality reforming itself in the next instant. There was no trace, no trace. It was a near-instantaneous teleportation across vast cosmic distances, a feat that would have made the Galactic Council tremble in despair if they witnessed it.
In a matter of moments, the Celestial Leviathan materialized in a new star system, a place of sublime beauty and danger. A giant nebula of vibrant colors covered the sky, and at its center, a supermassive black hole sucked light and matter into its abyssal maw. And in the midst of this cosmic storm, the energy signature of a Rank Y Monster pulsed with a power that could crush stars.
"John, the Rank Y entity is located on a gaseous planet within the nebula. Its energy signature is massive. Power estimate: capable of manipulating gravitational fields on a planetary scale and releasing energy pulses that can disintegrate entire fleets," Loli reported, her systems working at maximum speed to process the magnitude of the target.
Jhon wasn't disappointed this time. The signature was different, more complex. He felt a twinge of excitement.
"Take me to him," Jhon ordered, his voice filled with the hunger of a cosmic hunter. "Ready all weapons. I want to test the Veil Annihilation Cannons."
The ship moved, not in a sprint, but with the calm and inevitability of a predator at the top of the cosmic food chain. The Celestial Leviathan, with its new rectangular shape, its divine weapons at the bow, and its enhanced crew, was ready to hunt a Rank Y Monster. The universe was its playground, and John, its king.
