Damn Necromancer

Chapter 405: Mothership

Alpha Prime Dock, located in the orbit of the Ares Corporation home planet.

Dr. Higgs, the chief engineer of Zenith Corporation and hailed as the best mechanic in the galaxy, was looking up at the massive artificial structure before his eyes with an overwhelmed gaze.

"It is beautiful. This is truly the ultimate science and the crystallization of hope reached by our Galaxia humanity."

At the end of his gaze lay the next-generation Titan-class flagship, Gigantes, built by fully mobilizing all the technological prowess of the Megacorp Alliance.

Its total length was a whopping 150 kilometers.

It was a super-massive flagship for destroying star systems, created by pouring in an astronomical budget equivalent to dozens of planets and the blood and sweat of the galaxy's best brains for 30 years.

Originally, it was a decisive battle weapon secretly being constructed to counter cosmic disasters like the dimensional predator beast Apocalypse.

Although its reason for existence had floated away slightly due to the out-of-standard monster called the Death Lord descending and butchering Apocalypse in just 10 minutes, even so, the fact that this battleship was a great leap that would leave a mark in human history remained unchanged.

"Dr. Higgs! The seating of the main quantum core is complete! Phase 1 framework assembly is perfect!"

"Good! The day this flagship is completed, our alliance will possess a perfect deterrent that will not yield before any threat in the universe!"

It was the very moment Dr. Higgs tightly clenched his fist, overwhelmed with emotion.

Jiiiiing―!

The space in the middle of the dock distorted, and a man fluttering a pitch-black coat popped out from the empty air with a tuk.

It was the Death Lord Kim Minwoo.

"Uh? D-Death Lord?!"

While Higgs and the engineers were astonished and prostrated on the floor, Kim Minwoo swam through the empty air and smoothly scanned the massive framework of Gigantes.

"Oh. The size is quite refreshing. The framework is also very sturdy."

A thick smile spread across Kim Minwoo's lips.

Through hologram communication, the heads of the 4 great megacorps, including the Ares leader, were urgently connected.

"D-Death Lord! What brings you to the Alpha Prime Dock so suddenly!"

"What do you mean what brings me here. I'm trying to pick out a private plane to ride around in, and it just so happens there's a perfectly good tin can right here."

Kim Minwoo pointed at Gigantes with his chin and refreshingly declared.

"Okay. I'll use this."

"Yes?! N-no, Lord! That is the highest-grade asset our Megacorp Alliance has been constructing for a whopping 30 years by shedding blood and sweat! It is a battleship like the hope of humanity, but if you take it whole, our losses……!"

"Ah, really? What a shame."

Kim Minwoo pulled out Hell Rhapsody from his subspace, flicked the blue blade with his finger, and smiled chillingly.

"Then out of the 50% dividend you guys will offer me this year, I just have to deduct exactly the price of this battleship, right. Are you perhaps worried I'll scam you out of your money?"

"Ah……."

A miraculous robber logic of deducting it from the profits that were going to be taken anyway.

However, if they rebelled in front of the blade of that chilling scythe, it was obvious the leaders' necks would roll around as space junk in the dock.

"Y-yes, yessir! It is an honor! If the great Lord desires it, we must naturally offer it! The hope of humanity or whatever, it is a hundred times appropriate for it to be used as the Lord's private plane!"

Eventually, as the permission of the leaders harboring tears of blood dropped, Kim Minwoo smiled and threw his subspace wide open.

Kugugugugung―!!

What poured down, crushing the dock's artificial gravity, was none other than the massive and ferocious biological bones of the dimensional predator beast Apocalypse.

Kim Minwoo ignorantly poured the mountain-like debris of the beast over Gigantes' silver framework.

"G-goodness! ……. Is that truly a physically possible structure!"

Dr. Higgs screamed while tearing at his hair.

Apocalypse's ferocious ribs and skull were bizarrely entangling over the precise framework of Gigantes, the pride of the Megacorps.

"Doctor! The state-of-the-art quantum core is malfunctioning due to the unknown energy spewing from Apocalypse's bones!"

"Damn it! There's no way those kinds of bones can withstand the engine output! If we don't immediately attach the 5-layer composite liquid nitrogen cooling module, the bones will all melt down in less than half a day! Bring the cooler right now!"

The highest-grade brains of the cyberpunk world screamed and scrambled in this unprecedented situation.

Because no matter how outstanding their technological prowess was, fusing the out-of-standard bones of a dimensional beast with a precise battleship was something beyond common sense.

Kim Minwoo, who was watching the pandemonium while puffing on a cigar from the premium seat above the dock, clicked his tongue.

"Whew, it's going to take ages with tin-can technology. Hey, you guys come out."

Paaaaat―!

From Kim Minwoo's shadow, tens of thousands of Dragon Tooth Soldier blacksmiths, architects, and rune makers poured out in unison. They were fantasy's top-tier production classes harboring the knowledge of dragons, surpassing dwarves, elves, and gnomes.

However, it was not enough to satisfy Kim Minwoo. A-rank production skills were insufficient to fuse the bones of a dimensional predator beast with a space battleship.

"I am nominally a Higher God, I should give my subcontractor employees a bit of a spec up."

Kim Minwoo smiled with a pik and grabbed a handful of the Higher God's status located deep within his soul, ruthlessly transfusing it to his subordinates.

Kugugugugung―!

In an instant, the entire dock fluctuated, and the eye glints of the tens of thousands of Dragon Tooth Soldiers exploded in unison with a blinding purple light. As their Lord became a transcendent crossing dimensions, even the soul vessels of the subordinates who were bestowed that power forcibly expanded, beginning to catch a glimpse of the laws of the universe.

Ttiring―!

[The Lord's massive divine status is transfused into the dependents!]

[The Dragon Tooth Soldier production legion gains a deep enlightenment regarding the origin of matter!]

[All production skills (A) of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers break through their limits and are promoted to (S)-rank!]

"Oho. Higher God status, it's really awesome. To promote everyone to S-rank with a single click."

While Kim Minwoo smiled satisfyingly, Dr. Higgs and the technicians froze with their mouths wide open.

Apocalypse's bones, which didn't get a single scratch even after being burned all day with an ultra-high-density plasma cutter until just a moment ago.

However, when the S-rank evolved Dragon Tooth Soldier blacksmith struck down with a dragon horn hammer full of death mana, those solid bones bent like clay and fused perfectly with the super-alloy armor plating.

Kwang! Kwagagagang―!

"Wh-what kind of physical law is that……!"

Over the quantum core that was on the verge of exploding from overload, this time the Dragon Tooth Soldier rune makers pierced through the boiling heat and jumped up without hesitation.

"No! The core's surface temperature is tens of thousands of degrees Celsius! The bones will all burn…… uh-uh?"

Dr. Higgs' two eyes grew as if they would pop out.

Far from burning up, the Dragon Tooth Soldiers calmly picked up brushes and smoothly drew geometric patterns on the engine's outer wall.

[The Dragon Tooth Soldier rune maker engraves the Rune of Absolute Zero!]

[The Dragon Tooth Soldier architect constructs a Mana Neural Network on the framework!]

Chiiiiik―!

The hellish heat spewed by the engine rapidly cooled down to a comfortable room temperature as soon as it passed through the runes and Mana Neural Network engraved on the bones.

They had lightly replaced a state-of-the-art cooling system requiring complex quantum mechanics, astronomical capital, and hundreds of tons of liquid nitrogen with a single fantasy rune.

"Goodness……. We researched for 10 years just to cool that single engine……."

Dr. Higgs slumped down on the floor with a thud.

However, his eyes flashed not with despair, but with the bizarre joy of a scientist who had witnessed an unknown territory.

"Look! That magic perfectly ignores the limits of physical laws! And the quantum core we made is spewing the infinite energy required for that magic! This is…… a perfect and miraculous synergy created by super-science and grand magic!"

The technicians, who prided themselves on being the best elites in the galaxy, threw away their pride and volunteered to assist the Dragon Tooth Soldiers with fire in their eyes. It was a method where the machines held the framework and pumped extreme energy, while the skeletons finished it off by twisting causality with magic and runes.

As the collaboration gained speed, even half a month was a luxury to construct a 150-kilometer-long space battleship.

"B-boss, all construction and tuning work is finished."

Ten days later.

Chairman Arthur, whose eyes were sunken from staying up several nights with Dr. Higgs, reported with an overwhelmed voice.

"Really? Then shall we try starting the engine."

Kim Minwoo rose from his seat.

He reached out toward the massive battleship filling the dock below, perfectly fusing the pitch-black super-alloy with the ferocious dimensional beast's bones.

At the same time, the Mythical-rank item he wore on his head, the Crown of the Death Lord, resonated with a deep purple light.

[Starting the super-massive undead fusion transmutation with the knowledge of the Death Lord!]

[Breathing life into the state-of-the-art machinery and biological bones using the massive divine status as a power source!]

Kugugugugung―!

The overwhelming death mana spewed from Kim Minwoo's fingertips swallowed the entire dock.

Hundreds of thousands of tons of super-alloy armor plating pulsated like a beast, and a blue eye glint flashed and burned from the battleship's bow, which was modeled after Apocalypse's skull.

It was a marvelous moment where the battleship itself awakened as a massive, transcendent living undead.

Ttiring―!

Ttiririring―!!

Golden system windows filled Kim Minwoo's vision, setting off firecrackers wildly.

[It is a great success!]

[Science and the authority of a Higher God achieve a miraculous harmony!]

[A Mythical-rank mount, the Super-Massive Undead Mothership is born!]

[Super-Massive Undead Mothership (Name Undecided)]

[Rank: Mythical.]

[Description: The ultimate decisive battle weapon combining the bones of a dimensional predator beast and Megacorp's technological prowess. It moves using faith as its power source.]

[The proficiency of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers, who successfully assisted the unprecedented Mythical-rank transmutation, explodes!]

[All production skills (S) of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers awaken to the providence of the universe and grow to (SS)-rank!]

At the birth of the perfect decisive battle weapon and the bonus spec up of his subordinates that poured out, Kim Minwoo let out a thick laugh through his teeth.
