Fleet

I took the stone and sealed it inside a container. I quickly left the building passing through the doors and leaving the secret realm. I made my way to my father's room.

Knock. Knock.

I knocked on his door to alert him of my presence

"Come in"

"Father, I want to show you this"

I took out the stone and showed it to him. He raised his brows before looking at it with disbelief.

Noticing his expressions, I quickly asked him "Father, I found two infinity stones in the Scepter and the Tesseract. I just don't know what this stone is from the All Spark"

He calmed down hearing my question.

"Alex, this stone is the Creation Stone"

"Creation Stone?"

"Yes, back then ..."

My father told me how this stone came to be. Apparently a powerful cosmic entity called Creation , who was at the same level as my father, died and was refined into a stone by a sun. The stone creates living things. It could transform anything into whatever you want with the necessary materials. Back then, over 90% of the cosmic entities have fought a large battle over this stone, resulting in many of their deaths before the stone completely disappeared during their fight. The stone was lost and 60% of the cosmic entities were dead or injured.

They went into a deep slumber and some died during their sleep. The celestials, tried to take advantage of them being severely injured tried to launch a sneak attack on them, but the Celestials failed and they were almost completely eradicated.

There were also several other similar stones that contained the powers of dead cosmic entities that was lost. Most of them were found and hidden away by them to prevent another such battle from taking place again. The primordial beasts also went ahead and helped us find and hid some of them. There were only seven primordial beasts, the Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, Azure Dragon, Taotie, Kraken, Pixiu, and the Nine Tailed Fox. They have not been seen for years and no one would dare to wake them up either.

The only stones that were missing were the Creation stone, Origin stone, and the Destruction stone. The origin stone being the most mysterious as no one knew where it came from, the Creation stone creates things, and the Destruction stone destroys. They were the three most powerful stones to have ever existed. The infinity stones are just toys compared to the three.

"Do you see why they are so important now?"

"Yes" I answered

"Hide this, as no one should wield it." my father gave me back the stone

"Yes, father" I took the stone back and sealed it away, hiding it in the most secure and hidden place in the vault. I also put on several formations in it. No one should be able to see the case or take it without my permission. My father also used his powers to hide them from other entities just in case.

In order to keep this secret we could only wipe the memories of our guards. We left the rest of their memories intact but erased anything related to the existence of the stones and replaced them with regular artifacts. They had agreed to the memory wipe beforehand which is why we went ahead and wiped whatever we could without damaging their minds.

I met up with Evan and stayed with him for the rest of the day.

"When is our orbital shipyard going to be finished?"

"Give me a year"

Some time after we build our orbital space station , I decided to build our own fleet in space as we have the technology to do so. We also borrowed space traveling technology form my mother's planet to study. After spending a week, we created our first slip space device and hyperdrives. We tested it on a pelican, using animals and a robot. After determining that it was safe for organic mass, we started to modify our current vehicles with slip space devices or hyperdrives. Bigger ships would use hyperdrives and smaller ones would use slip space devices until we could upgrade it. We decided to build a shipyard on mars as it has the necessary environment for people to live if we could create a colony there. We decided to build a couple more orbital space stations on there while building a shipyard. Although this used up most of our current resources. I was worth it if we could build dreadnaughts or mother ships for interstellar travel.

As cultivators we don't need oxygen so even in space we could breathe regularly or even better as we only need to use qi. There is more origin energy and qi in space then on Earth so it is more comfortable in space for us than regular people. I would also train my Universe traveling steps whenever I'm in space.

The universe traveling steps are a lot less convenient then using slip space. Although Slip space is a bit slower, you at the very least get to sit on a chair while traveling the universe. I could only travel between worlds when I reach late stage for the technique and I am still in the early stage. It's not so easy trying to learn the next level of immortal techniques or higher.

"What kind of designs for a fleet are we looking at?" I asked

"Hmm, 2 harrower class dreadnoughts to carry our fighter planes. 3 Venator Class Star Destroyers for atmospheric battles and troop deployment. A UNSC Infinity ship as the flagship, 6 Epoch Class heavy carriers, 6 Valiant Class Super Heavy Carrier, 8 Halberd Class Destroyers, 10 Strident Class Heavy Frigates, 12 Paris Class Heavy Frigates, and 12 Charon Class Light Frigates"

"Each Ship would be controlled by Skynet and their captains along with the crew being half robots?"

"Yes, that's the plan"

"Isn't that a bit too big for a fleet?"

"We already researched the weapons on the ships and recreated similar models with better performance, and it's going to be the main fleet"

"main fleet?"

"We want 3 more smaller fleets with at least 1/4 of the ships and 2 medium fleets with 1/2 the main fleet in 10 years"

"That's quite a lot of resources"

"I know but we need the time to create our fleet and battle stations"

"Where will we get the man power?"

"Mother's world has a lot of unemployed so we plan on adding them to the army"

"Interesting"

He left to continue with the other plans that we have in store for the next year. I looked at the plan in deep thought 'looks like its time to allocate more resources to the development of these ships' I sighed
