CHAPTER 398: GENOME! I

As Achilles observed the magnificent expansion of the Sea of Thalassara spreading into the void like liquid starlight claiming its rightful domain, the stellar waters surrounding his family began to respond to his presence with reverence that transcended mere acknowledgment of power.

The blue waves swirled around them, forming intricate spirals that gradually condensed into something far more significant than mere aquatic phenomena. Before his eyes, a throne materialized from the purest stellar water...born from the very essence of Thalassarian authority itself!

HUUM!

The seat of power gleamed with internal radiance that captured and reflected light from distant stars, its flowing surfaces maintaining perfect stability despite being composed entirely of liquid that defied the vacuum of space.

As Achilles approached, regalia began forming around his figure with movements that suggested ritual older than recorded history!

Robes of liquid brilliance wrapped around his frame like embraces from sea forces that had awaited eons for this moment of recognition. A crown of crystallized starwater settled upon his head, its surface inscribed with runes that pulsed with the accumulated wisdom of seas that had once bowed before Thalassarian dominion!

Gauntlets of flowing azure covered his hands, while a cape of stellar currents flowed behind him like captured aurora streams.

He appeared as he truly was...an Emperor of the depths between stars, sovereign of powers that had once commanded respect across stellar distances!

|Status Confirmation has been made. Distinguished as Emperor of Thalassara. Stellar lineage boons have been integrated and given without superseding primary Adrastia Emperor King inheritance.|

|Core Authority Unlocked: Emperor of Thalassara exclusive capabilities are now accessible. The Sea of Thalassara expansion into Star Seas has restored dormant imperial functions.|

|Reconstruction Protocols are now Available. Underwater Empire restoration is now possible through combination of Thalassarian authority and stellar materials. Sector wide dominion reconstruction parameters are now accessible.|

...!

Before him, holographic blueprints began materializing like architectural dreams given form and substance!

Each design pulsed with its own internal logic, displaying technologies that operated according to principles that transcended conventional understanding of engineering.

He looked at each of them and saw their glorious details!

|Abyssal Fortress Networks|:: Defensive installations capable of phasing between space, constructed from crystallized void water, planetary cores, and compressed neutron matter. Each fortress could withstand direct stellar bombardment while projecting protective fields across entire solar systems.

|Stellar Cultivation Shrines|:: Advancement centers where Thalassarians could undergo evolutionary enhancement through exposure to concentrated stellar essences. Built from pure water fused with pulsar emissions and the crystallized dreams of dying stars.

|Leviathan Class Void Swimmers|:: Stellar vessels the size of moons, capable of traversing galactic distances while maintaining perfect aquatic environments. Their hulls were forged from liquidized black hole event horizons reinforced with the bones of extinct stellar whales.

|Tidal Gate Complexes|:: Interdimensional travel networks that could transport entire fleets across the Star Seas instantaneously. Each gate required materials ranging from planetary rings to the harvested songs of cosmic sirens.

WAA!

The scope was staggering...an entire civilization’s worth of technology that could be constructed from materials spanning the cosmic spectrum.

Pure water served as the foundation, but everything else could be integrated: meteorites for basic structure, crystals for energy focusing, moons for massive construction projects, suns for power sources, pulsars for temporal manipulation, black holes for gravitational engineering, entire worlds for the most ambitious projects!

But before he could fully absorb the implications of such architectural possibilities, new prompts blazed across his awareness.

|Aquatic Genetic Synthesis Protocols are now also Active- Enhanced Chthonian Thalassarian variant creation now possible. Synthesis combines Emperor’s bloodline, Thalassarian essence, and cosmic materials to produce entities optimized for stellar warfare.|

...!

Holographic images materialized before him, each one depicting creatures that redefined the boundaries between biology and stellar phenomenon.

|Void Kraken Leviathan|:: A creature the size of terrestrial worlds, its blue-black tentacles spanning distances that could wrap around gas giants. Crystalline wings of stellar water extended behind its massive form, while bioluminescent patterns across its hide could blind entire fleets. Lowest level- Stellar Genesis Embodiment. Synthesis required: Emperor’s blood, deep-sea Thalassarian lifeforms, three moons, and the core of a dying star.

|Planar Devouring Astral Starfish|:: A pentagonal horror capable of enveloping and consuming entire planes of existence, its five arms each containing pocket dimensions for processing devoured matter. Its surface bristled with feeding tendrils that could penetrate dimensional barriers. Lowest level- Stellar Genesis Embodiment. Synthesis required: Emperor’s blood, Thalassarian filter-feeders, crystallized space-time fragments, and the compressed essence of consumed Moons.

|Primordial Stellar Piranha Swarm-Entity|:: What appeared to be a single world-sized predator was actually millions of synchronized organisms operating as one consciousness. Each individual unit possessed teeth that could shear through neutronium while the collective could strip entire star systems of matter in hours. Synthesis required: Emperor’s blood, Thalassarian lifeforms, asteroid field materials, and the fossils of 9 suns.

...!

"Holy..."

His eyes shook!

But the final entry transcended even these cosmic horrors in its implications.

|Special Genesis Protocol Available|:: Emergence of Sea of Thalassara into stellar void has unlocked unique synthesis option. Void-Born Thalassarian Sovereign can be created using: Thalassarian waters, Emperor bloodline, and direct absorption of surrounding spatial vacuum. Easy to make, powerful in nature. Resultant entity will achieve minimum Stellar Genesis Embodiment capabilities upon formation.|

...!

The possibilities blazed through his consciousness like supernovas of potential, each option representing power!

Power!

But before he could begin processing the full scope of what genetic synthesis could accomplish, his own existence began responding to forces due to external enhancement.

BOOM!

Power erupted through his transformed physiology like stellar fire finding new fuel, his very blood beginning to burn with intensities that spoke to fundamental changes occurring at the genetic level!

The expansion of the Sea of Thalassara had somehow triggered responses within his primary lineage.

|Breakthrough Achievement: Basic Adrastia Bloodline Refinement progression has accelerated beyond Imperial Embers Initiation threshold. Emperor’s Genome Alignment has been unlocked through confluence of stellar expansion and inherited authority.|

...!

The second stage of the Adrastia Imperium Vitae Ascension Codex blazed to life within his consciousness, carrying with it implications that dwarfed even the magnificent technologies and creatures that had just been revealed to him!
