"Father… This is fantastic."
Athena looks at the body in front of her. I, too, look at it with pride. The reason? This will be my body soon, or at least what my body will become. It is my pride and joy because it is a project I put together to rival the Primarch Project.
However, unlike the Primarch Project, I am going far into the mystic side of the project. It is like I am making another Magnus the Red, but different because I am not a psyker but a full-blown magician.
For one? I am able to create a Mana Core using the knowledge from the Xenoblade Chronicles, not the X-version, but rather the main games.
Using the knowledge of a Crystal Core from that universe, I can create a container that can contain an absurd amount of mana and produce it just like a perpetual engine of mana. Using the knowledge of Energy Manipulation from the Necron, I can make my body able to control mana very finely.
I named this organ the Etherion Reactor.
This organ is also the one that will give me the 'Primarch Aura' that affects people around me. Just as Guilliman can make others fear him when he is angry, or how it can give people hope at his presence alone, this reactor will do the same.
In fact, this reactor will also give me random power depending on my nature, just like how Primarchs have specialities.
Anyway, there are other things that make me into a war machine. However, to become one, I need someone who can precisely control all the tools and have the mystic power to control the mystic-based tools.
Lucky for me, Athena can do both.
I already gave her the blueprint for this surgery, and with her help, we created a Homunculi to test if this is working. The homunculi are not alive and will never be alive. We only test all the implants and new organs working with my body.
It requires fifteen years for the body to get the result I want, and to do that, I create a new machine that makes a bubble of space dimension where time flows faster than the one on the outside.
Once again, this tech is based on Necron technology, but it takes a combination of the Imperium, Nasuverse, and Pokémon to create this one.
The stasis technology the Imperium has is better than the Necrons, at least in certain things, like freezing my consciousness so I do not experience what is happening inside the pocket dimension. Nasuverse gave me the tech that allowed me to create the foundation for the pocket dimension, as this pocket is within the Imaginary Space Number reality, where the law is less strict. The Pokémon tech tree is all about the flow of time. If the Imperium ensures my consciousness is not affected by the flow of time, the one from the Pokémon will ensure the rest of them are affected by the faster time flow. It is surprising, right? However, the Pokémon series has a lot of time-travel events happening, and only because the living gods of that world make sure the timeline does not collapse.
This machine is resource-heavy, and it takes me a lot of [Resource] to create this one. It also took me four days of non-stop work to create this machine.
I shake my head and say.
"So? What do you think? Can you do this, Athena?"
She looks back at me and says,
"Yes. I can do that, Father. You already prepared all the things I need, and I can do the procedure for you."
"Perfect! We will perform the first stage now."
There are five stages of the surgery, and it requires me to stay inside the pocket dimension for three years before doing the second surgery. It requires precise control over the machine because 1 second equals 1 year, and if even a millisecond goes by, the result will not give me a 100% effect.
What makes matters worse is that this machine also cannot be automated and needs manual control. That is why Athena is a crucial part of this procedure.
I shake my head and lie down on the operating table. I can see the Temporal Manipulation machine sitting next to the operating table. I watch Athena walk toward the table with her servitor arms behind her.
"Beginning surgery. Are you ready, Father?"
"Yes."
She nods and stabs me with a needle. It does not take long before my consciousness falls and darkness consumes me.

|3rd POV|
Athena makes sure to do everything perfectly as she controls all the machinery around her. She even cut off her processing unit to the other unimportant things and put it all into this surgery. She doesn't want to mess this up.
She put all the organs and implants her father created inside his small frame, carefully connecting them all.
She also controls the Photon and Mana in the air so they do not enter her father. He puts her father back together when she is done and watches him glow. She immediately controls the Temporal Manipulation machine and creates a bubble of artificial reality.
The device flies above her father's body and creates a kaleidoscope bubble around him.
She counts the time passed and when it reaches the target, she immediately turns off the machine and watches the change on her father. He might not know this, but Athena is special. The body he creates will never be able to compare with his soon-to-be body, but because of her unique body and soul, she can see differently than he does.
The TRI-HERMES is a computer that records things, including souls, and as the avatar to TRI-HERMES, she can see souls, and her father's soul is beautiful and intense.
All the implants and new organs are making his soul larger, denser, and more exotic. If his soul was previously like a bright golden light, now his soul is like the sun. It is bigger and shines brighter than ever.
She can see the aura from the soul leak out of his body and create some sort of protective barrier that blocks a supernatural attack coming his way.
However, what catches her attention is the aura itself. She knows about the Primarch from the Warhammer Universe. She has his memory, after all. She now understands why their sons are so loyal to them. Because she has part of his soul, it feels like she is finally complete in his presence.
Not only that, his aura makes her soul rejuvenate and become fuller. Previously, she was but a part of his soul. She is more of a clone than a daughter, and the reason she calls him father is that she knows her father needs a family to make sure he does not break from the isolation. Now? Now, she becomes her own person with her own soul and truly becomes her father's daughter.
She put that away for now and continued the procedure. She starts the second stage, puts in more organs, and connects the new organs to the previous ones. This procedure makes his body stronger, more durable, and faster than before.
This stage includes the second heart, second stomach, second kidney, and second pair of lungs. His body has gotten bigger than before, allowing her to place all the new organs and implants.
This stage of the surgery also involves putting all the implants that grow his muscles and harden his bones. It makes him even more durable and strong.
After half an hour of careful surgery, she is done and activates the Temporal Machine once again.
When it has done its job, she prepares for the third stage. Her father increased in size once again. Originally, he was 175 cm or around 5'7. He is now 220 cm or around 7'2. It is a massive increase in size.
And the increase in size allows her to put on more implants and organs. Once again, she needs to dissect her father, but this time, she requires her magic to do the surgery.
The reason? This one is more of an enchantment than an implant, as it enchants his blood and other liquids inside his body. This stage ensures that his blood can deliver mana across his body and that he can absolutely control his powers from the CYOA.
Once again, she let the Temporal Machine do its work and prepare for the fourth procedure. This one is the most delicate one as this procedure requires her to operate on his brain.
It takes her a full hour to complete the surgery. When she is done, she does not turn on the Temporal Machine and makes sure to heal his body first. His body already has insane regeneration speed, but with her help, it gets ten times faster, and the skeleton that she needs to cut open already fuses back together.
When she is done, she turns on the Temporal Machine and prepares for the last procedure.
The last procedure is to make sure her father can use all the tech he will create in the future. It is like the Mind Impulse implant from the Imperium, but better because it uses the tech from the Necron that lets him control all the tech he creates.
It is making him a semi-Technomancer. Why semi? He can only control the tech he creates.
This one does not take long and only requires her a few minutes to complete. When she is done, she turns on the machine one more time and watches her father inside the bubble. When it is done, she deactivates the machine and sees her father.
His body is now massive. He is now 4,2 meters tall, or around 14 feet. He also reached 640 kilograms in weight because of how dense his muscles and bones are. Athena knows a regular Space Marine weighs around 300 kilograms without their armor, and her father doubles that in weight and height.
However, she knows that even with this build, he will be unimaginably fast.
She stops, and her breath gets taken away when her father opens his eyes. In her eyes, his soul gets even brighter like a sun going supernova. However, it keeps going and stays stable instead of going out.
She needs to deactivate her special vision because the light is so bright that she cannot see her father's face.
When her father sits down, she feels like she needs to kneel down. When he looks at her, she feels as if the world is already hers. It is like seeing a God assuring you that there is nothing to worry about.
And the most important thing is that she can feel now that her father truly sees her as his daughter and will do anything to protect her. She feels her heart stop as he smiles. He can feel a warm feeling wash over her body and soul.
"Thank you for your hard work, Athena."
