Armageddon

Carter's speed was mind-blowing—upgrading Astro Movement to level 6 had him cruising through the cosmos at seven times the speed of light. Even if a planet suddenly loomed in his path, it would be reduced to nothing more than fuel for his growth. He marveled at his power but remained focused on his goal.

"I don't get it, System. If all I need is mass and C energy, why can't I just pull objects with my gravity control? What's the point of all this traveling?"

[SYSTEM] The host must acquire life equations as well, in order to create planets or multiple planets with diverse ethnicities and races. If the host stumbles upon a moving spaceship or another inhabited planet, the host should collide with it to absorb the necessary data.

"So, basically, I'm just going to be out here committing extinction-level crimes," Carter muttered, shaking his head.

[SYSTEM] If the host prefers to interpret it that way, then I suppose so.

"Interpret it that way? That's literally what you just described!" He sighed deeply, realizing the futility of arguing with the System. "No point in debating. You're just giving me the best options, and it's up to me to follow through."

His mind set, Carter scoured the empty void of space, searching for any sign of intelligent life. Though it wasn't going to be easy, his determination never wavered. The possibilities of his existence—what he could create, what he could become—pushed him forward.

After about seven years of relentless flying through the dark expanse of space, Carter's search seemed endless. But then, at the very edge of his extended vision, something unusual caught his attention.

There, drifting slowly through the cosmos, was not a planet but a colossal structure—larger than anything he had ever encountered. It wasn't shaped like an ordinary ship either. It resembled more of a towering spire, with massive rings encircling its midsection. Each ring shimmered faintly, like they were rotating at incredible speeds. Despite the distance, Carter could sense the teeming presence of life onboard—millions of beings living inside its colossal walls.

"Bingo,"
