Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Staggering Wealth

​Consumers also started discussing these items in Universal Network forums.

[User: StarDrifter: Has anyone else ordered from this new Sovereign Corporation storefront? I bought a standard Plasma Rifle Model IV and it arrived in literal seconds. Not days. Seconds.]

​[User: Void_Runner_99: Yes! A bizarre glowing bug popped right into my living room, dropped a metal crate, and vanished into a spatial tear. I nearly shot the thing. But the tech inside is absolutely flawless.]

​[User: BigAxe_Grok: The Nuclear Sword is completely real. I just tested it on a dead asteroid in the outer rim. The asteroid is now two smaller asteroids. Best 300,000 Universal Credits I ever spent.]

​[User: MechEnthusiast: Are we really not going to talk about how ridiculously cheap this stuff is? They are undercutting the Trade Federation by over eighty percent. It makes zero sense.]

​[User: Galactic_Merchant: Yep. It is going to crash the entire sector economy. How are they producing Class A energy shields at this scale? Who is supplying them?]

​[User: CrimsonBlade: Who cares about the economy? Let the Trade Federation cry about it. I just equipped my entire mercenary company with Zenith Empire combat armor. We are practically invincible now.]

​[User: Scholar_Xyn: I tried to reverse engineer the Aqua Core Flask. The internal magical array is completely locked. When I tried to pry the core open, the entire thing immediately melted into useless slag. Their security measures are terrifying.]

​[User: BountyHunter_Kael: Good. That keeps the cheap knockoffs off the market. But has anyone actually found out who is running this Zenith Empire?]

​[User: DeepSpace_Watcher: Rumor says it is a young Dominator. Some say he conquered forty eight worlds in a single week.]

​[User: Iron_Fist_Sect: That sounds like exaggerated nonsense. Nobody conquers that many worlds that fast. Not even the ancient gods.]

​[User: Truth_Seeker: Hmph. Deny it all you want. But look out your windows. Half the commercial fleets in this sector are already flying Zenith colors just to get a discount on their new hyper drives.]

​[User: StarDrifter: I just bought the personal cloaking device. It arrived again in three seconds. I do not care who the Emperor is. I am pledging my absolute loyalty to his delivery team.]

Meanwhile, Rose sat behind her massive obsidian desk, staring in awe at the holographic projections hovering in the air. She received endless reports of rapid sales across the whole Milky Way Galaxy.

She read through the official Sovereign Corporation data streams, her heart pounding with every line.

....

​On the other hand, Neo witnessed an explosive growth in his personal wealth.

[ Wealth: 8.93 Billion UC ]

What was once around 200 million Universal Credits had now reached a staggering 10 billion, and that had happened within just 3 days of Universal Standard Time.

​But priorities came first. Today, he was here to take a proper look at the uncharted treasure planet he had purchased from the virtual auction house.

​As a part Celestial, he possessed the immense power to create worlds. However, something as complex and magically dense as a true Treasure Planet was entirely unique.

The heavily concentrated energy veins and ancient ruins could not simply be replicated out of thin air.

​Accompanying him were his loyal advisors, Elena and Dr. Clark.

Noir and Zestia were left behind to manage the imperial order across the conquered territories in his absence.

​The newly acquired Treasure Planet was situated five light years away from the Eximious Domain. For a standard commercial fleet, that distance would require a massive logistical operation. But for Neo, it was just a walk in the park.

​Activating his [Journeyman of the Void ] ability, he crossed a single light year with a single step.

And he now possessed more than enough cosmic force to effortlessly tear open five consecutive void tunnels, bringing his advisors along for the ride.

​Upon arriving at the exact coordinates, they were greeted by a truly magnificent and bizarre sight.

​There was no blazing sun illuminating the sector. There were no orbiting moons, and there were no surrounding asteroid belts. There was only the endless dark of deep space.

​Floating right in the center of the void was a single, massive golden planet. Bizarrely enough, the entire world was shaped exactly like a gigantic, glowing piggy bank. In terms of overall size, it was only slightly smaller than Earth.

.

​Elena commented, "Neo, I am scanning planetary composition now. The results are highly irregular. The outer crust is composed entirely of ultra refined cosmic gold and crystallized mana. The structural shape is completely illogical for a natural celestial formation. It heavily suggests this entire planet was deliberately sculpted by an ancient cosmic entity with a very peculiar sense of humor."

​Dr. Clark pushed his glasses up his nose, "Fascinating I would say. It is a literal piggy bank the size of a world. The gravitational pull should be crushing itself into a sphere, yet it perfectly maintains those distinct sculpted ears and the coin slot on the northern hemisphere. The magical arrays holding this structure together must be beyond the Divine tier."

​Neo smiled, his eyes reflecting the brilliant golden light of his new property. He did not care if an ancient god had a funny sense of humor.

He only cared about what was inside.

​"Forget all that,.Clark. Let us see what kind of coins this piggy bank holds.."
