Neo had one important job to do before the war began.

​He arrived at the military junkyard where the broken remains of ninety dreadnoughts were placed. Not all of them were broken, of course. Still, Neo had a much better plan for them.

​He would merge them using his [Universal Synthesis] Supreme Unique Talent.

​For that, he first evacuated the workers, ensuring the perimeter was completely clear. He then stood firm before the towering mountains of metal and activated his system interface.

​[ Target Locked: 90x Standard Imperial Dreadnoughts ]

[ Class: Dreadnought ]

​"Activate Mass Synthesis," Neo commanded softly.

​[ System Notice: Supreme Unique Talent ’Universal Synthesis’ activated. ]

Rumble!

​The ground trembled violently as a deafening symphony of grinding metal echoed across the sector.

​[ Stage 1 Complete: 90 Dreadnoughts synthesized into 45 Heavy Star-Cruisers. ]

​The massive ships melted into liquid metal, immediately reforming into fewer but vastly superior vessels.

But Neo did not stop. He pushed more of his cosmic energy into the synthesis field.

​[ Stage 2 Complete: 45 Heavy Star-Cruisers synthesized into 25 Leviathan Destroyers. ]

Flash!

​The light grew unbearable. And the surrounding space began to warp under the raw density of the accumulating metal.

​[ Stage 3 Complete: 25 Leviathan Destroyers synthesized into 15 Star-Fortresses. ]

These Star Fortresses were about 10,000 meters tall.

​Even these massive structures were not his final goal. Neo gritted his teeth, pouring his absolute maximum power into the final two stages.

​[ Stage 4 Complete: 15 Star-Fortresses synthesized into 10 Titan-Class Flagships. ]

​[ Initiating Final Stage... ]

[ Stage 5 Complete! ]

​[ New Entities Created: 5x LORD Class Warships ]

[ Tier: SS-Rank ]

[ Scale: Planetary ]

​The light finally fade along with the notification.

​The resulting shockwave knocked the distant workers and militants flat on their backs.

When they finally looked up, their eyes widened in horror and awe.

​Floating above the military sector were five mechanical leviathans. They were completely incomprehensible in scale, easily twice as big as standard Titan-class ships. Their massive hulls blotted out the evening sun entirely, plunging the entire capital into an artificial night. They were essentially the size of small planets, radiating an oppressive, suffocating energy.

​"Heavens above! What kind of monsters did the Emperor just create?" a military commander dropped to his knees.

His subordinate soldier helped him stand up, equally in awe.

"Commander, I can’t even see its end. This is nothing but a miracle!"

​

"It is. No one has ever managed to do something impossible. They surpassed Titan Class warships. They are LORD class. I have only read them on secret files in the Diva’s universal network."

"Oh ny God! How terrifying is that! Who would dare to stand against us now!"

Finance Minister Rose sat speechless on the chair, watching the impossible with her own eyes. She couldn’t see the full size or structure, yet she could tell this was very terrifying.

"Just what have you done again, Neo?"

Back at the Imperial Palace courtyard, Nina was staring up at the sky with her mouth agape. Her previous pride in flying a small, lively spaceship vanished entirely.

​"Those are very big! Does those belong to big brother as well? Ah, how I want to pilot one badly.

​Standing next to her, Zestia felt her knees go completely weak. She had to grab the marble railing just to stay on her feet.

​"This is completely crazy. I thought Epos was terrifying, but this breaks all my understanding."

​Noir, however, reacted completely differently.

The fallen angel leaned against the railing, her ruby eyes glowing with admiration and growing desire.

​"Oh, Darling is simply magnificent. Just look at the size of his creations. So immense. So overwhelmingly dominant. It makes a demoness want to serve him even more diligently tonight."

​Zestia immediately snapped out of her fear, turning to glare at the shameless demon.

​"Can you stop being a degenerate for five seconds, Noir? We are literally looking at planetary weapons of mass destruction!"

​

"And I am looking at the man who commands them. Jealousy suits you quite well, Little Zestia."

"You’re inarguable."

Hearing their usual bickering, Nina let out a helpless sigh.

The next six days passed in an absolute blur of relentless military preparation.

​With the five LORD Class planetary warships now hovering in Zenith’s orbit, Commander Aeliana faced a completely unprecedented logistical nightmare.

The Zenith army numbered in the 120,000. However, fully staffing just one of these cosmic leviathans required millions of personnel.

​Neo solved this problem on the second day with his supreme capabilities.

Standing in the command center of the central flagship, he activated his Universal Synthesis once more. He merged thousands of shattered sentinel droids with high-tier cosmic crystals from the imperial vault.

​[ System Notice: Mass Synthesis Successful. ]

[ Entity Created: 2,000,000 Automated Void Sentinels. ]

[ Role: Warship Operation and Heavy Boarding Defense. ]

​By the fourth day, the Zenith military had completely transformed. Neo distributed synthesized S-Rank armors and plasma weapons to the Elven warriors and the heavy infantry.

The cosmic energy radiating from the five planetary fortresses passively enhanced the soldiers below, boosting their base statistics significantly.

​Noir and Zestia did not sit idle either. Noir took command of the shadow infiltration units.

Zestia established a massive planetary healing array connected directly to the Imperial Palace.

Even little Apex contributed by multiplying its slime body to reinforce the structural integrity of the outer defensive energy shields.

​On the dawn of the sixth day, the loud sirens of the evolved planatery perception barrier broke the morning peaxe.

​Inside the central command room, the holographic tactical map flashed crimson red.

Commander Aeliana stared at the incoming data, and her face drained of all color.

​"Your Majesty, the planatery radar have picked up the Vanguard of the Spider Expanse. They have just breached our Solar sector."

​Neo calmly walked over to the holographic projection, and the display showed a massive swarm of red dots moving like a cosmic locust plague toward Zenith.

​"How many?" Neo asked coldly.

"The numbers aren’t accurate. But the scanners are reading over ten thousand heavy dreadnoughts, three hundred Titan-Class flagships, and roughly five million elite soldiers, most probably all of them are Beyonders."
