Building Interstellar Empire With Universal Synthesis

Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Industrial Tour and Synthesis

​Neo shook his head and explained patiently.

"No. He was hiding, Mother..Or rather, he was biding his time. He foresaw a massive threat coming toward us in the future. A war far beyond our normal comprehension. He masked his divinity to protect us while setting a grand plan into motion."

​"A plan? What did he do?" Amelia asked, her voice trembling slightly as she tried to process the impossible truth.

​Neo pointed a finger toward the tiny golden pig resting comfortably on a velvet cushion near the table, snoring softly.

"He built an entire planetary training matrix, locked it away in a dimensional vault, and waited past and future for me to grow strong enough to claim it. He left behind absolute conceptual powers for me to inherit. The Law of Time. The Eternal Flame."

​"He left all of that just for you?" she asked softly.

​"Yes. He left it to ensure our survival. He believed in my fighting spirit. He knew I would walk this path of cosmic conquest, and he provided the exact tools I needed to protect our family and our empire."

​"Gulp.." Nina swallowed her food loudly, breaking the heavy tension.

"Brother, does that mean daddy is still alive?"

​Neo paused for a second, then answered: "I do not know, Nina. But I know his legacy is alive inside me now."

​Amelia reached across the white tablecloth and grasped Neo’s hand tightly.

"Whatever he saw coming in his visions... whatever enemy made a True-God feel the need to hide his own family... can we defeat it?"

​Neo nodded confidently.

​"Of course, mother. With the gifts he left behind, we will not just defeat them. We will absolutely annihilate them."

Later in the afternoon, Neo departed the Imperial Palace and headed toward the outer ring of the capital. The massive industrial sector was the pulsing heart of the Zenith Empire’s economy. This was where Neo’s specially designed magical weapons and high-tech gadgets were manufactured before being shipped out to buyers across the universe.

​Finance Minister Rose was waiting for him at the entrance of the primary forge. She wore a tailored business suit that perfectly accentuated her curves, paired with a crimson tie that matched her striking eyes.

​"Welcome, Your Majesty," Rose purred, offering a perfect, elegant bow that perhaps dipped just a fraction too low. a

"I gladly took on the task of giving you this tour personally. The factory overseers simply lack the proper touch."

​"Lead the way, Rose. I want to see the production numbers for the new plasma-infused broadswords."

​Rose smiled brightly and guided him into the sprawling facility. The scale of the factory was breathtaking. Thousands of automated mechanical arms worked in perfect synchronization, assembling Aqua Core Flask and forging other heavy weaponries.

​"Our current output is phenomenal," Rose explained, walking close enough to Neo that their shoulders occasionally brushed.

"We are manufacturing ten thousand units of the Mark Four plasma blades daily. The universal market is practically begging for more. Every mercenary guild in the neighboring sectors wants your specific designs."

​"Good. But we need to scale up. The universe is going to get a lot more dangerous very soon."

​"Oh, I already have future plans drafted for exactly that," Rose said as she deliberately leaned in close.

She then held up a holographic tablet, making sure her fingers gently trailed against his wrist as she handed it over.

"I am planning to acquire three more asteroid belts in the Epos territory for raw material mining. Once we establish outposts there, we can double our manufacturing output within six weeks. We will completely dominate the interstellar arms market."

​Neo scrolled through the holographic charts. The projections were flawless and highly profitable.

"Your financial strategy is as sharp as ever, Rose."

Rose fluttered her dark eyelashes.

​"I aim to please, Emperor Neo. In every possible department. You only need to ask if you want to inspect my personal assets."

​Neo saw through her flirts easily. So he let out a short, amused smile.

Handing back the glowing tablet to her, he said:

"Let us focus on the military assets for now, Minister. Show me the dreadnought assembly line next."

Rose sighed helplessly.

​"As you wish, my Emperor. But my offer stands indefinitely."

Cough~!

After a few hours of tour, They finally sat at the Employee lounge, taking time drink some refreshments.

At the table, while they sat together, Rose reacalled the past memories.

​"Neo, do you remember the first time you came to me, offering me the position of CEO of Sovereign Corporation, and I laughed it off, saying you were just a kid?" she asked, her voice carrying a fond warmth.

​Neo chuckled, setting his glass down on the table.

"I remember it perfectly Rose. You told me I should go back to playing video games and leave the corporate warfare to the adults."

​Rose shook her head, letting out a genuine, melodic laugh. "I was so incredibly blind back then. You walked into my table in a plain jacket, looking completely unassuming, and casually dropped a blueprint for a Infinite Water generator. I thought you had stolen it from a top-tier research facility."

​"And yet, you still took the job," Neo pointed out, leaning back in his chair.

​"Yes. It was the best gamble of my entire life," Rose admitted, her hazel eyes locking onto his. "Look at where we are now. We went from a rogue startup company on a backwater planet to running the Zenith Empire. You went from a bold kid to a supreme sovereign commanding the cosmos."

​She reached across the table, her perfectly manicured fingers lightly tracing the edge of his sleeve.

​"You know I have served under many ambitious men, Your Majesty. But none of them possessed even a fraction of your vision. You conquered the market, you conquered the stars, and honestly, you completely conquered my expectations."

​"I only provided the blueprints and the raw power, Rose. But You built the financial empire that sustains it all. I needed a shark to handle the corporate world, and you were the deadliest one in the water."

​Rose smirked, clearly pleased by the compliment.

"I am still a shark, Neo. And I am entirely yours to command. Just remember, sharks have a very healthy appetite."

Neo just shook his head.

No matter how massive the empire grew, some things, like Rose’s relentless ambition and charm, would absolutely never change.

Neo left the employee lounge and descended into the absolute lowest level of the industrial sector. This was his private dimensional forge. It was a massive chamber built purely to contain catastrophic amounts of energy and withstand the birth of new cosmic powers.

​He stood in the center of the room and opened his spatial inventory. Mountains of incredibly rare materials crashed onto the reinforced floor. There were glowing blue Mana Stones, glittering Star Iron ores, pulsating Beast Cores, impossibly heavy Dark Adamantite, pitch black Void stones, and incredibly dense Ten Star Granites.

​"Time to see what true creation looks like," Neo whispered.

​He them activated his supreme talent [Universal Synthesis]. A brilliant geometric matrix expanded across the entire room, scanning and cataloging every single molecular structure present.

Instantly, his legendary talent [Godsmith] flooded his mind with millions of grand possibilities.

This talent allowed him to effortlessly reverse engineer the cosmic materials into perfect, flawless blueprints.

​But blueprints meant nothing without the power to forge them.

​Neo raised his right hand. The Eternal Flame erupted from his palm. The primordial fire shifted through brilliant white, deep gold, and ethereal blue hues. He cast the divine fire forward, engulfing the mountains of ore.

​Normal forges would require centuries to melt Dark Adamantite. The Eternal Flame liquefied it in seconds. The Void stones dissolved into pure spatial energy, while the Ten Star Granites and Star Iron ores merged into a practically indestructible alloy. The Beast Cores provided a living, predatory heartbeat to the new creations, and the Mana Stones acted as an infinite circulatory system for the energy.

​Neo directed the swirling ocean of molten metal and cosmic energy with his hands, acting like a maestro conducting a symphony of ultimate destruction. The materials separated, cooled, and hardened into five distinct, terrifying interstellar weapons designed specifically for his army.

​First was the [Voidfire Annihilator]. It was a heavy shoulder mounted cannon forged entirely from Dark Adamantite and powered by a compressed spark of the Eternal Flame.

When fired, it released a concentrated beam of spatial distortion and primordial fire. It did not merely melt enemy armor. It completely erased the target from existence, leaving behind only a localized vacuum.

​Second was the [Adamantite Starblade]. Designed specifically for his frontline commanders, this broadsword merged Star Iron and Ten Star Granite. The blade held the physical mass of a small moon, but the embedded Void stones manipulated local gravity to make it feel entirely weightless to the wielder.

Upon impact, the gravity dampeners deactivated, crushing any known defensive shield instantly with the force of a falling meteor.

​Third was the [Beastcore Piercer]. This sleek, long range sniper rifle utilized high tier Beast Cores fused perfectly with refined Mana Stones. Instead of firing physical bullets, it shot sentient mana projectiles.

Once a user locked onto a target, the predatory projectile would autonomously track the exact life force of the enemy across miles of chaotic battlefield, ignoring physical cover and easily bypassing standard magical barriers.

​Fourth was the Granite Nova Bulwark. This was a deployable defensive matrix meant to protect infantry squads. Forged from pure Ten Star Granite and infused with Star Iron, it initially appeared as a small metallic cube.

When thrown onto the ground, it rapidly expanded into an impenetrable dome of hard light and cosmic stone. It passively absorbed all incoming kinetic energy and could release that stored power outward as a devastating solar shockwave.

​Finally, there was the [Eternal Judgment Engine].

This was not a weapon for a single soldier. It was a colossal artillery core designed to be mounted directly onto the Zenith Empire dreadnoughts.

By combining every single material present in perfect synergy, Neo created a reactor capable of safely channeling the true destructive aspect of the Eternal Flame.

A single shot from this massive engine could bypass planetary shields entirely and shatter enemy capital ships in a fraction of a second.

​Neo looked at the floating arsenal suspended within the fading golden light of the Eternal Flame.

With these weapons, his army was no longer just a standard imperial force. They were now the undisputed reapers of the cosmos.
