Getting used to the new body takes me a couple of hours. My senses get to a level that I cannot describe. It is as if I am being blind to the world. I can taste the air and know if something is wrong with it. I can smell decay underneath me from the zombies that are spawning in the dark inside the cavern underneath my base.
I cannot see through solid matter, but my eyes can see very far away. I can see details a few kilometers away without a problem if I focus on it.
Don't get me started with my physical might. I can bench press almost a hundred metric tons without a problem. According to Athena, I should be able to bench press something up to 234 tons with maximum effort and for a short amount of time.
Now I understand why Angron can hold a freaking titan to protect himself and his brother. It breaks his bones and muscles, but he can hold it long enough for the Urus Claw to rescue him from being stomped to death.
In many fantasy-like worlds, this feat is nothing. However, what makes Primarchs strong is not their strength. They are created as perfect generals, and that is what makes them shine. They are strong, but not to the point of Dragon Ball strong.
However, that is only my physical power. If I use my magic and photon arts, I can increase it even more.
Speaking of magic and photon arts, those two are something that I need to handle carefully. I tested it, and boy, the effect is very different. A small fireball that supposedly creates a baseball-sized fireball that explodes and causes a good amount of damage turns into something else.
Now? It will become a small sun that melts and burns anything it touches once it explodes. Not only did the explosion get twenty times larger, but it was also twenty times more powerful and intense. That is with the same energy I feed to the technique.
As for magic, I don't have anything for now. However, I was able to create a Reinforcement magic that let me increase my strength even more. Because of my new body, I can take a lot of strain from the spell and be able to go for a long time using this magic, and even push it to the limit without any damage to my body.
At the moment? I can multiply my base strength by thirty times without a problem using this magic. Athena prevents me from further testing because we don't have a medical facility yet.
When we have one, we will test it even more.
Speaking of testing, I look at the spaceship in front of me. Ananta is done and ready to set sail through the void. It is 1.2 kilometers long, 480 meters wide, and 260 meters tall. It can carry up to 4000 people inside and is armed to the teeth.
The hull is made of Necrodermis interwoven with the Klironomia nano fabric mesh. With this combination, the hull can self-heal, can project a photon field to protect the inner part of the hull, and let the ship use the Phase Shifting ability that makes it intangible. Sadly, the Phase Shifting lasts only for a few seconds.
However, the best feature of the combination is that I can add new features to the hull without creating a proper shipyard. So, if I get new tech or have new ideas, I can immediately upgrade the hull, or if I want to expand the ship, I can do that without a problem.
This girl has three power systems—one primary core with one auxiliary and one backup power core. The primary core is the Necron Energy core; accompanying it is the Zero-Point Reactor from Stellaris. As for the backup, a Photon Capacitor can power the entire ship without a problem. Sadly, it is a burst energy reactor that lasts only 5 hours at maximum before it breaks down.
The backup is for an emergency jump or long enough for me to repair the damage to the two reactors.
Ananta uses Dark Matter Thrusters + Photon stabilizers for its propulsion for any planetary and space maneuvering. How fast is it? Well, at the moment, it can travel through the Solar System in a matter of a few hours.
Speaking of the solar system, this one is the same as the one I had in my previous life.
Athena is already sending probes and drones to explore this world's Solar System, and she has found something interesting. However, she doesn't want to spoil the surprise and only tells me that the Solar System is the same as the one in my previous life.
Other than that? She does not want to spoil the surprise and will only tell me the details when we reach the void.
Anyway! Ananta also has three FTL drives. The first one is the Inertialess Drive of the Necron. This thing can take me from one part of the galaxy to another in the blink of an eye. It can take me crossing the Galaxy in a matter of a week at most, or ten days if I put it on a mid-to-high setting.
That is a very powerful drive.
The second FTL is the Dolmen Gate, or at least its modified version. Instead of accessing the Webway, it accesses the space in between. I can access the space in between using the combination tech from Nasuverse, Pokémon, and Phantasy Star.
What's that? It is the space between the Material World and the Immaterium. Webway is the pocket dimension created by the Old Ones. However, where do they put this pocket dimension? In the space between. So, instead of accessing the webway, the Dolmen Gate will directly access the space between.
Theoretically, this allows me to create two gates that connect two universes, unlike the Webway, which can only let the Eldar explore the galaxy.
However, to fly through the Space Between is dangerous because of the chaotic energy of the void. That is why it is better to create a tunnel that will protect you instead of directly sailing through the space between. It is safer and easier to navigate because if you are sailing through the Space Between, you do not know where or when you will arrive.
The last one is called the Stellaris Jump Drive. Jump Drive shreds the local space-time continuum and rearranges it on the quantum level to be identical to that of the target destination - and thus the ship appears to near-instantly "jump" from system to system. Sadly, it can only do a short burst FTL that requires downtime after each jump. It requires two hours of cooldown before it can be used once again.
It is great for an emergency jump from one system to another.
The next one is the cloaking device. Ananta has something called the Dark Matter Cloaking Field. Just like the name suggests, it uses dark matter to warp space-time around the vessel, making it incredibly difficult to detect.
Sadly, the cloaking device requires a tremendous amount of power, and because of this, it can only fly at a slow speed and cannot use the main weaponry.
Speaking of weaponry, Ananta is a flying fortress. The main weapons are four Tachyon Lances that can cut through even the most durable ships. Twelve Gauss Destroyer Cannons are effective in closer combat, which can break down targets into their component layers. Ananta also has ten particle beam cannons for heavy sustained fires.
All kinds of Macro-Cannons and Missile Launchers are on the ship for longer-range attacks. They can fire all types of ammunition for all sorts of battles. It can fire things to bombard planets from orbit or fight against another spaceship in the void. Among them are six Photon Disruptor Arrays for energy dispersal and shield breaker.
Lastly, a massive weapon is in front of the ship called the Psionic Lance. This is the only psionic-based tech I have. It accesses the power of the immaterium and creates a devastating beam of attack that can potentially drill through a planet's core.
Sadly, it takes time to charge and needs 1 minute to cool down after each firing. There is also the potential of this weapon attracting creatures from the Immaterium. Because of this, it is more dangerous to use in places where the Immaterium is chaotic. This universe's immaterium is calm, very calm. That means it is rather safe to use in this universe.
That means I cannot use this thing in the Warhammer universe.
Ananta also has a Drone Swarm Launcher for repair, mining, and combat scenarios. Ananta is also able to contain up to 20 light-class Mech ready to be dropped from Orbit and four atmospheric/space-capable craft.
However, I can use the space for other things, like more fabricators or more reactors. Its primary function is the deployment of mechs and atmospheric/space-capable craft. Of course, this area is also where the dropship is located.
As for defence, Ananta can deploy three shields. The first one is called the Photon-Ether Shield, which can sustain ~300 GW equivalent before collapse. This passive shield becomes akin to a second skin to the ship. The second one is called the Planetary Shield Dome Projector. It is a projector that can create a 10-kilometer radius shield to protect allied ships or protect a planet from planetary bombardment.
The last one is Imperial Void Shield. It is just a powerful shield that can displace all incoming attacks to the immaterium. The only downside? It is weak against close-range attacks and cannot block ramming or boarding ships.
It also needs a certain amount of velocity to activate. That means the shield cannot block a slow attack.
The next part is the Industrial Section, which contains the Necro-Klironomia fabricator. This is the upgraded version of my current fabricator. The reason? I want Ananta to be able to terraform a planet.
There is also a Drone Foundry to let Athena or me build things quickly that have access to the hive of Necro-Klironomia nanomachines.
The last part is the living system, which contains all the things that let me survive on a long journey in the void. There are healing pods, a Hydroponic Farm, a Water system, and an animal gene vault.
Like I said, Ananta is a spaceship that can be used to terraform a planet, and the animal gene vault is the key to giving a planet something new. Currently, sheep, cows, and chickens' genes are inside the vault.
Anyway, Ananta is ready for action.
"Are you ready, Father?"
I look at Athena and nod my head. I enter the ship and walk to the bridge. I sit in the captain's seat and see the safety belt and safety field holding me down.
"Prepare to depart."
Athena, standing next to me, nods her head and says.
"Preparing."
I watch as Ananta comes to life. I can hear the humming of the reactor providing the energy it needs to depart.
"Engaging Anti-Gravity thruster."
I watch as Ananta starts to rise from the ground and slowly rises.
"Activating the main thruster."
Ananta moves and now points to the sky. We move at a very fast speed, and it does not take long before we pass the atmosphere.
"We are leaving the exosphere in three… two… one… We are leaving the exosphere, Father. Do you want me to deactivate the thruster? You can see the planet from here."
"Yes. Do that."
She nods and deactivates the thruster. While we are in space, the inside of Ananta feels like I am still back on the planet. I can easily walk through the bridge and look out of the window. When my eyes look at the window, my jaw drops at the sight in front of me.
"Oh! Interesting! The entire planet is Minecraftified!"
It is still a sphere, but it looks like a Minecraft player attempting to create a ball using all the blocks from the game.
"Interesting… I wonder why the planet still retains its shape."
"Right?" Athena walks next to me and looks through the window alongside me. "After sending a satellite and probe, I know that this universe has a loose law that lets it retain its shape. There is also this unknown energy that makes sure the planet can retain its uniqueness."
"Energy? What kind of energy?"
"It is the same energy from one of your powers, Father. The one that lets you create a mini-block from the tree you punch and the stone you mine."
"Ah, I see. Can you send the report to me later?"
"Of course, Father. What should we do now?"
"Now? Let's explore the solar system and get to the other system. I want to see if the entire galaxy has the same effect with my own eyes."
"Yes, father!"
