Three As One: The Pinnacle of Myth!

He had made similar modifications to the satellite in the world of "The Eminence in Shadow" before, but the satellite's location was more important, Iori couldn't take it with him.

The [Sun Boat] ability had previously been used by Iori merely as a "White Horse starter," which was quite a waste. The worldview of "Heroic Age" inspired Iori; if it could be transformed into a mobile base that could be summoned and repatriated at any time, it would be incredibly convenient for exploring other worlds.

To this end, he also needs to modify the "Depiction of Nature and Society," turning several of its worlds into "docks" with logistical support and ship maintenance functions, and massive amounts of resources collected from various New World will be poured into them.

Especially in the Greek Lostbelt of Chaldea, Iori, in order to get some freebies, deliberately showed his "helpful" side by accepting a quest in a certain FGO Worldline and doing a small-scale world-saving.

Regardless of whether the technology of the Machine God Civilization is superior to that of the Heroic Age, the fact that the Greek Machine Gods can perfectly integrate with the magic system and that their technology has reached the point of interstellar travel and even pinging to travel through space is a good reference for Iori.

(Upon closer reflection, the potential of the Type-Moon Universe is actually quite high, but most of it is just background.)

Later on, Athena alone was no longer enough, so Iori summoned Ciel from "Akame ga Kill!" and selected dozens of clever and quick-witted people from "The Eminence in Shadow" and "Campione!" to give them the necessary training to fill various positions.

A month has passed, Golden Ark is still just a framework. Ciel and others are debating the specific construction of the boat, using several feasible solutions provided by Mooncell, each with their own preferences.

As it turned out, Iori's original timeline was completely inaccurate, probably not even reaching one-tenth of the overall project. So he settled down and continued to stay on the planet. The Federal Fleet, which was partly monitoring and partly escorting Iori, abandoned other tasks and focused solely on recording everything Iori did.

In any case, the orders given to them by the higher-ups were to "wait and see," and there wouldn't be any changes in the short term on a cosmic scale, so they were happy to have some peace and quiet.

The pirate crew had long since retrieved their Epimetheus, but whether out of gratitude or simply because they couldn't bear to leave, they stayed to witness the Miracle of this "handcrafted starship."

In their daily interactions with Iori, the crew members are naturally drawn to and even captivated by her, and are happy to act as her mentors to guide the Shinigami girls in "The Eminence in Shadow," thus contributing to Iori's career.

As for what Iori's business is... in their words, "I don't understand it, but it seems really impressive!"

In the deep and vast universe, against a dark background, a dazzling aurora suddenly appears, and a silver-white starship, streamlined in shape, resembling a sci-fi incense burner, emerges from the opened hyperspace passage.

Separated by half a star system, the Human Fleet, which was practically "within arm's reach" of Iori's planet, immediately detected spatial fluctuations, but could not detect what kind of enemy it was.

However, sometimes the inability to detect it can prove a lot:

In this universe, only the Silver Race possesses technology that completely surpasses that of humanity!

After a moment of silence, the Human Fleet activated its defensive shields and released most of its Augan MS. Although surprised by the appearance of the Silver Race, they immediately prepared for battle.

The Silver Race's starship did not approach rashly, but merely coldly observed the planet. It was unclear what detection methods they used, but the information they received seemed to greatly surprise those inside.

Given their rational and decisive way of thinking, it took them a full ten minutes to make a decision. Immediately afterwards, massive gravitational waves rippled through space, and layers of silvery-white polygonal shields unfolded, constructing a planet-sized teleportation portal from which a bluish-green asteroid hive slowly emerged.

"It's the same old routine, still using the Bronze race as cannon fodder."

Captain Augustus saw this scene on the Projection and immediately and methodically issued orders, and the entire fleet was completely switched to combat mode under the control of the central computer.

"We are slightly lacking in combat power, and we are not carrying any annihilation-level weapons that can destroy the ant mound, but we cannot allow them to break through the defenses and enter the atmosphere under any circumstances. Since that noble person 'considers himself to be human,' regardless of whether he is willing to provide us with assistance, we must at least build a sense of camaraderie and prove to him that we are his compatriots!"

If we can establish a friendship with that benefactor, his unique technology might just bring about a turning point for humanity.

Gentlemen, many will die in this battle, but nothing is more valuable than dying for the future!

""Learn!""

"It's a bit noisy."

On the planet's surface, Athena stood in mid-air, watching the final touches of the project gradually come to completion, and glanced up impatiently.

She was now completely focused on the "spectacle" before her, and anyone who disturbed her would be regarded as an enemy. If the final project was interfered with, it would be a fight to the death.

Because she truly poured unimaginable effort into it, and regarded it as a rare achievement in her life—yes, it didn't need any subsequent mythological epics to embellish it; simply completing it was a great achievement.

This is equivalent to the Tower of Babel and the Pantheon, something that can be engraved on the Boundary Record Band and even be passed down to the end of time!

Not only her, but also Iori, Ciel, Alice, from the Flame Dragon and Ice Dragon to the Kitsune Yukihime and the Shinigami girls, including the members of the pirate crew, everyone who participated in the construction believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime glorious moment in their lives.

Even if they are essentially just "tools" that bring Iori's ideas to life... being able to participate is an honor in itself.

"Don't be impatient. According to the saying in my hometown, the appearance of Divine Weapons is always accompanied by calamity. I even feel that this level of power isn't worthy of my vehicle."

Iori smiled, glanced around, pondered for a moment, and then relayed his voice to everyone. "Everyone, proceed to your assigned posts immediately according to the original training plan!"

"What, are we setting sail now?"

Ciel objected, "The final adjustments aren't finished yet. The [Super Holy Grail] is a special engine that combines the Third Magic with parts of the Second Magic, capable of drawing energy from the Parallel Worlds and infinitely expanding its Magic Circuit. Even in my homeland, I've never seen a similar Magic Furnace. What if it violently clashes with the Laws of Operation this world..."

"It's fine!"

Iori smiled slightly, pulled Ciel into her arms, and stroked her soft, silver hair to calm her down—while also earning Byakugan from Athena standing nearby.

"Sometimes it takes a little bit of unexpected factor to make things more perfect."

Buzz!

A massive, unending flow of magic power surged from within, its emerald radiance spreading across the entire warship along a Magic Arrays reminiscent of Ancient Egyptian murals. This light then illuminated the Basic Systems, each centered around Magic Furnace, converging through a dense network of Magic Circuit to the core of the Super Holy Grail. At this moment, the entire vessel shone like a crystal-clear gem, giving the impression of having stepped out of the Physical Universe and into a realm of illusion.

But soon, the enormous Golden Ark materialized again, its massive body slowly awakening like an ancient giant, and even a slight tremor triggered a series of miniature earthquakes on the planet's surface.

Even though Iori has been very careful, the forging over the past few days has consumed most of the heat energy in the star core, greatly reducing its lifespan. It may cool down completely in a few hundred years and become an ordinary planet.

When it officially set sail, its enormous mass even caused the Planetary Gravity to become unbalanced, and quickly affected human warships in Space Orbit!

"What, what's going on—is it already finished?!"

The atmosphere was swirling, and a continent—no, a Golden Ark shimmering with emerald light—broke through the clouds and flew out!

The thick clouds appear like swirling smoke in comparison, their sheer size creating a strong visual illusion; though still far away, they seem to have already covered the sky and sun, as if they were right in front of you.

"How is this possible..."

"It's huge!"

"What about body shape..."

Not to mention the Federal Fleet, even the pirates on the Epimetheus were stunned:

The Golden Ark, which was originally only the size of an anthill on the ground, inexplicably grew much larger after rising into space, as if it had appeared out of nowhere, increasing in size by dozens of times... or even more, exceeding the total size of this Human Fleet plus the enemy ships!

However, if a probe is used, it will be found that the hull itself has not changed, but it seems to have acquired the concept of a "planet", as if it has been infinitely expanded in terms of volume and mass.

"What kind of technology is this?!"

"Space folding... but on this scale..."

[——]

The Zerg were not shocked. As "soldiers," they were perfect and never backed down no matter how powerful the enemy was. Even when faced with the Golden Ark they had never seen before, they boldly launched an attack, ignoring the Human Fleet's insufficient manpower.

However, all the beams of light that struck the Golden Ark disappeared like raindrops falling into a pond, without showing the slightest damage.

This is a vehicle forged using the concept of the "sun," with powerful magic and divinity flowing over it. Unless there is an attack that can threaten the "planet" itself, it will probably ignore it!

Immediately following, as if in response to the Bronze race, brilliant ripples spread around the Golden Ark, a high-energy reaction almost unbearable for the space to contain brewing within, and dazzling light swept across the ship's surface—

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

In an instant, lightning illuminated the entire universe!

The seemingly indestructible Hedron's Shield shattered like Utakata, with a large anthill bearing the brunt and being pulverized by the tenfold amplified World-Saving Divine Lightning!

"This ship will be named... Uranus."

— [Uranus]!

Chapter 516 The Three Elements Unite, the Pinnacle of Mythology!

"... It worked even better than I expected."

In a starry sky, several golden cylinders stood before Iori, each inscribed with circuits that connected to a central slot. Only the central cylinder, directly opposite him, had its slot filled, revealing a section of its silver-white handle.

Iori placed her hand flat and shook it slightly. Immediately, bright Lightning Bolt flashed across the universe, annihilating countless insectoids in Rengoku of light and heat.

—— [World-Saving Divine Lightning]

This is a purification and sublimation of the concept of "Divine Armaments" gathered in the divine sword, fueled by the Steel Godhead. It looks like thunder, but it is actually a devastating attack with effects such as "cutting", "penetrating", and "unkillable".

Just like Golden Flash's "Treasury of the Kings," the "Divine Armaments Gate of Babylon the Gods" is conceptually omnipotent and inexhaustible. Therefore, as long as there is enough magic power, it is possible to unleash as many World-Saving Divine Lightning as needed.

The power of the lightning amplified by this "Uranus" exceeds Iori's own limits because he has incorporated the divinity of "Ra", "Mithra", and "Verethragna".

Among the many divine entities, the Sun, the Earth, and Steel stand out as exceptionally superior:

The sun is the most primitive belief and the center of many mythologies. The older the tradition, the more noble the status of the sun.

[Earth] is a concept closely related to agriculture, death, harvest, and matriarchal society. In addition, it also integrates the attributes of "water" and is closely related to the development of civilization.

Steel represents force, war, Plunder, and patriarchy; it is the necessary path to survival and prosperity.

These three can be considered the three major stages that every civilization must go through. Therefore, whether it is a maritime civilization, Great River Civilization, or any mythological view, it is built around one or more of these stages.

The "Ra" in Iori's hand is the epitome of the god of the sun, the undisputed core of Egyptian mythology, and closely related to every Egypt god. Its status is equivalent to the Trimurti in India or the dualistic gods in Zoroastrianism.

It is precisely because it encompasses all things that it is extremely pure, and can seamlessly integrate the concepts of Mithra and its guardians, making it perfect as an "amplifier".

The reason why the Golden Ark is called "Uranus" is precisely because it is centered on the sun and takes the image of a "king of the heavens".

In addition, the Dragon Vein Project in the world of "Campione!" is also progressing steadily. Although it has made use of a lot of the Earth Mother Goddess's legacy, Iori can be said to have absolute power in that world. By mobilizing the power of the entire the Mystic Side and the global government, he still found a lot of surplus divine artifacts.

Iori also handed over a new task to the witches in "Campione!!":

According to his requirements and the blueprint he provided, under Athena's supervision, these divine artifacts were "deeply processed" using ancient rituals and then integrated into a complete system.

For example, divine artifacts like the Hera's Stone Pillar have been incorporated into the collection as individual components. A rough estimate suggests that there are at least ten such ancient relics of the Earth Mother Goddess!

As for the research findings of those ancient witches, such as magic books and Demonic Path, they are countless.

These were coordinated and adjusted by Athena with the Wisdom of the Sky, and ultimately became the "dragon bones" connecting the various modules, and the "earth" that is so strong yet heavy that it can carry things and nourish all things, to absorb and circulate the power of various attributes.

"Sky (Sun)"

With "Earth (Life)" as the core attribute, most attribute conflicts have been eliminated.

To be honest, Uranus wasn't actually forged from a single volcano; many of its modules and systems were given to other worlds by "outsiders."

What happened in "Campione!" is just one example; the same scenario is constantly playing out in cyberpunk (Overlord), Chaldea, "The Eminence in Shadow," and "Akame ga Kill!"...

The most exhausting part for Iori was not gathering resources, but integrating the resources from these different systems. Fortunately, he had a universal "Art Style Value" that could be applied to all his possessions (Ciel and others could follow him around thanks to this), which allowed him to successfully build the warship.

Without the help of Athena or Mooncell, Iori would have to put in many times more time and effort, and might not even have succeeded.

However, as it turned out, his efforts were not in vain. The Uranus not only set sail successfully, but also fulfilled the role he had envisioned!

"Beared by the earth, sublimated by the sun, the power of steel is pushed to its limits, uniting the three forces into one..."

Iori muttered to himself, completely ignoring the Bronze race's counterattacks during this time, including the thousands of beams of light that bombarded the ship's surface!

No need for a particularly sturdy shield; a faint golden light flowing across the surface is enough to dissipate all the power.

Regardless of the ship's inherent defensive capabilities, it is virtually invincible when Iori is on board.

—— [King of the World]!

This was originally a domain-type skill, mainly used to suppress and bind enemies, but that was under the premise that "both sides are inside the domain".

But what if, as it is now, Iori releases his powers as if the Golden Ark were his own territory, and remains within that domain?

The answer is to give the ship the concept of "world".

This is the ultimate protection. Although it cannot block attacks from higher dimensions, all attacks are ineffective if they cannot conceptually threaten the world or reach the level of "Star Annihilation" in terms of energy.

Yes, it's ineffective; even the energy loss is negligible!

... The only drawback is that only Iori himself can activate his powers. When he is not around, the Uranus can only rely on its own defensive capabilities.

"Try this!"

As Iori removed her hand from the World-Saving Divine Blade, she pulled out another jet-black divine weapon from the spatial rift.

Buzz!

The golden pillar containing the World-Saving Divine Blade moved away automatically, like a magazine rotating. Another golden pillar had arrived in front of Iori and was pierced by the black Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi, emitting a short and penetrating sword sound.

The next moment, Iori spread her five fingers and raised them slightly upwards—

An unbelievable scene has unfolded!

In the vast universe, the Zerg army, which could truly blot out the sky, still had two ant mounds continuously releasing troops even after being destroyed several times by Iori. However, after the Black Sword Ame-no-Murakumo Kusanagi was inserted into the golden pillar, the fluorescent light representing the energy source on those insects became brighter and brighter and kept flashing, as if they were no longer under their own control...

Like water being absorbed by a whirlpool, countless streaks of light flew toward "Uranus"!

Could it be that this strange warship can forcibly plunder the energy of Plunder organisms? The Federation was even more shocked!
