Building Interstellar Empire With Universal Synthesis

Seven days after Neo’s violent escape from Earth.

Buzz! Buzz!

​The Federation’s elite 17th Fleet dropped out of warp speed.

​Leading the terrifying armada was a colossal Titan-Class warship, flanking the flagship were ten Giant-Class warships. Though they were only half the size of the Titan, they were still heavily armed dreadnoughts. They positioned themselves in two curved rows behind the flagship, making the entire fleet look like a massive steel bird of prey descending upon its target.

​On the main bridge of the Titan-Class flagship, Commander Erdogan stood near the reinforced viewport. He watched the small, brilliant blue planet rotating below with an eerie calm.

Then, his first lieutenant reported,

​"Commander, we have successfully locked onto the planetary coordinates. Planet Zenith is significantly smaller than Earth. Scanners indicate a primitive ecosystem and a single massive structure currently under construction on the surface."

​Erdogan scoffed a little. "A single structure. The boy actually believes he can build a fortress to hide from the Federation."

​"Are we authorizing the orbital bombardment, sir? We can turn the entire surface into glass within ten minutes."

The second lieutenant asked, his hand hovering over the glowing red weapons array. "

Erdogan denied,

​"Negative. You are forgetting our primary objective. He is a newly awakened Dominator. His powers are completely undeveloped. He is a child holding a weapon he does not understand. If we indiscriminately bombard the planet, we will risk of shattering the Dominator Core.

​"We did not bring this massive interstellar force just to blow up a backwater rock. We brought it to make a statement. I want him kneel before the Federation in despair amd willingly hand over his heart."

His smile turned sinister, as the massive Federation fleet slowly descended, coming to a menacing halt in the lower orbit of Planet Zenith.

Their shadows completely blocked out the alien sun, casting a dark gloom over the pristine clouds below.

​Erdogan looked toward his communications officer. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Deploy the planetary amplification drones. Open a direct, unencrypted broadcast to the surface. Let the boy hear the voice of his executioner."

Following his order, dozens of big sized silver drones detached from the Dreadnought’s underbelly.

They rocketed down into the planet’s atmosphere.

Erdogan’s voice boomed in every corner of Zenith.

​"Neo Godson, this is Commander Erdogan of the Federation’s 17th Fleet. Look up at the sky. You are completely surrounded."

​"Your little game of playing Emperor is over. Your undeveloped powers mean absolutely nothing against a true interstellar fleet. Surrender yourself immediately and hand over your Dominator Core peacefully. If you refuse, I will personally send my ground forces to slaughter every living soul on this pathetic planet before I rip the Core from your chest myself."

His wicked smirk was all over the face, fully convinced that he already had the young Dominator crushed beneath his boot.

​However, just a second later, a terrifying sound shattered the silence of orbit.

​BUZZZZZZZZZZ!

​From the deep, pitch-black void of space that everyone assumed was entirely empty, a world-shaking vibration suddenly rolled in waves.

The earshattering buzz resonated through the very bones of the crew and rattled the reinforced metal of the entire Federation Fleet.

​Erdogan’s arrogant smirk completely vanished in an instant, feeling an alarm.

​"Activate the shields! Now!" he roared at the top of his lungs.

​The panicked operators and pilots frantically slammed the emergency command buttons on their consoles.

A second later, massive, interlocking blue energy shields came to life, enveloping the entire eleven-ship fleet in a protective cocoon.

​But the terrifying vibrations did not stop. They only grew exponentially more intense, vibrating the teeth in Erdogan’s skull and making his brows draw together in pure dread.

​Then, the impossible finally happened.

​The optical camouflage of the void rippled like a mirage, slowly tearing away to reveal the colossal, pitch-black hull of another Titan-Class Dreadnought.

It was Neo’s Ghost Ship. And worse, every single one of its massive planetary siege cannons was already fully locked onto the Federation flagship.

​The cannons were completely supercharged. Each massive dark barrel held a blinding, glowing orb of highly concentrated nuclear plasma, burning so violently that it looked as if the warship was wielding dozens of miniature suns.

​Every single Federation soldier watching those glowing orbs of absolute destruction felt time completely come to a standstill. It was that suffocating, frozen dread that a person only ever feels in the very last moments of their life.

​"FIRE!"

​With a deep, thunderous shout from Neo echoing through the comms, the nuclear cannons, flawless weapons personally synthesized and enhanced by his own cosmic magic, unleashed their apocalyptic payload.

​BUZZZ! BUZZZZZ! BUZZZZZZZ!

​The earth-shattering barrage of golden nuclear fire tore across the void, hurtling straight toward the Federation Fleet like a shower of falling stars.

​Then came the cataclysmic impact.

​The first volley slammed directly into the massive blue energy shields protecting the Federation armada. For a fleeting second, the interlocking shields held, illuminating with the desperate light of a dying star. But these nuclear payloads were not standard quality. They were flawlessly synthesized by a Dominator, enhanced with raw cosmic magic to achieve absolute destruction.

​The overwhelming heat force and kinetic mass of the blasts overwhelmed the Giant-Class warships instantly.

​"Commander, our shields are overloading!"

A terrified pilot screamed over the fleet comms, but an instance later everything became quiet.

​The protective blue cocoon covering the right flank of the bird-like formation shattered like fragile glass. Five of the colossal Giant-Class dreadnoughts were caught completely exposed in the nuclear crossfire. The golden plasma effortlessly melted through their heavily reinforced outer hulls, piercing straight deep into their main nuclear reactors.

Explosions like dying stars were the only natural occurance.

"BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM!"

The dark void momentarily illuminated like daylight because of this these apocalyptic explosions

Millions of credits worth of warships were instantly reduced to expanding clouds of melting metals and black ash.

Loss of lives were far more valuable.

Thousands of elite Federation soldiers were completely vaporized before they could even draw a single breath.

The main ship wasn’t unscathed either.

​Commander Erdogan’s Titan-Class warship took the most concentrated brunt of the assault.
