( A/N: This is a very long chapter. I was in a mood of doing binge writing. So here, it is. Enjoy✌️✌️✌️✌️)
Ten years have passed since Alexander made the entire Galaxy aware of his kingdom. Alexander was not foolish enough to broadcast his presence to the Ones hiding on Mortis and the two fragments that were in the outer rim. Alexander had limited his force presence upto the middle rim but the mental message was transmitted to all his subjects and the people of Coruscant. As the Force itself had submitted to Alexander, Alexander had full control over the force present in the galaxy. Alexander could change the flow of force or direct into move in a certain direction.
Alexander wanted to transfer as much force energy as possible to his kingdom. As force was a form of life energy, Alexander was sure that many benefits would come out of this. Alexander planned to do this by using the realm gate as a medium. The size of the realm gate can be changed by supplying king's might. Alexander put the realm gate on a remote conquered planet in the mid rim and enlarged it to be as big as a ten story building. Then, Alexander directed the force to enter the realm gate in huge amounts. Alexander also changed the location of the other side of the realm gate to his personal garden. As the garden was the source of all the rivers of his kingdom and also the location of the main nexus of magical leylines of his kingdom, Alexander hoped that something good would come out of this.
Alexander had established the realm gate 3 months after his declaration. During those 3 months, all the rogue Jedi were tracked down were forced to submit to Alexander. Alexander had also ordered the movement of the new subjects to the new green cities constructed by his people. Each green city was capable of supporting a population of 4 Billion. There were a total of 10 Million green cities which were fully constructed and waiting for their new inhabitants. The rest 6 Million were in their final stages of construction. The cities were big enough that no one would feel cramped in the cities. An additional 200,000 cities were also in their starting phases to accommodate the increase in population.
Alexander felt that the structure of the defense system was not good from practical point of view. The kingdom level tower being the strongest and the city level being the weakest, didn't sit right with practice point of view. A enemy attacking the kingdom should face increasingly tough obstacles as he goes nearer the surface, the opposite of this should not happen. Alexander asked the SQC to revamp the designs and reverse the order of power. Now, the city level shields were the strongest capable of tanking explosion of a small blackhole and the kingdom level shield was capable of tanking an explosion of a sun. The shields were capable of doing this only once. The height of all the defense towers was also raised by a factor of 10 but the bases were kept the same, in order to accommodate the newly added alterations.
The amount of fire power was also changed. Instead of having a one massive cannon, all the towers were lined with thousands of anti-matter cannons which increased in firepower as one goes nearer to the surface. The cannons were small in size but packed quite a bit of firepower. The towers also acted as a battle station where the starships were kept. The kingdom level tower still had the four massive cannons at it's top and was also lined with thousands of cannons. The role of kingdom level tower was now to act as a medium in combining all the shields projected by the towers of their respective levels into a shield big enough to cover the kingdom.
Alexander had personally made this change when he got inspiration from the combined shields projected by The Nova Corps' fighter planes in order to stop Ronan's battleship from reaching their homeworld's surface. The kingdom tower worked on the same principle but on a much larger scale. Thus, the kingdom tower had many levels corresponding to the heights of the different towers. Research was being done to make all the towers combine all the shields without the kingdom tower acting as a medium as this was a major flaw of the defence system.
Alexander ordered annexation of another 1 Million resource planets as the blueprints designed by the SQC suggested construction of at least two more kingdom towers to act as backups. Alexander changed the plans with the help of his scientists. Alexander planned to have one kingdom tower per 10 Million cities. This would decrease the load of projecting a planet wide shield on the individual kingdom tower. All three towers would work together to project a improved shield which would be much stronger than the previous one. With destruction of one tower, the shield would weaken but not completely collapse like before. Alexander planned to have at least 1 kingdom tower per million city tower in future.
Alexander then turned his attention to the division of cities, regions, sectors, provinces, county and states. Each kingdom tower would have 10 state level towers under it, followed by 100 county level towers, 1,000 provincial level towers; 10,000 sectorial level towers; 100,000 regional towers and a million city level towers. All the planets were allowed to preserve their art works and objects of social and cultural importance.
Alexander planned to build cultural museums and entertainment hubs in cities with low resources as the resources deposits were going to be randomly shuffled with the help of the SQC. Each region would be allotted a number and every resource deposit would be randomly assigned to the corresponding numbers with the help of an advanced program. The end result would also be changed if any region gets overwhelming amount of resources.
The resources were distributed and there were some cities which got nothing so resources were reshuffled accordingly. Alexander had the SQC mark out new supply lines in accordance with the distribution of resources. All the resources were for civilian population as Hephaestus was more than enough for military purposes. Every city would have a military base outside it's walls which was the purpose of guarding the city and training the city guards. All the towers would be situated inside heavily guarded and fortified military bases. At first, the towers were going to also act as city administration offices but Alexander changed his minds as the towers were the most important defensive structures of the kingdom.
Alexander planned to change the location of towers from the center of cities to outside the city after assimilation. This would not harm the safety city itself as it would be still present under the shields of the tower. After assimilation, Alexander planned to have capital cities build for corresponding regions, sectors and so on. A governor would be elected by the residents of the city who would have control only over the civilian matters. The term of governors was not decided yet.
Alexander updated the plans of development and then turned his attention to the geography of planet. Alexander wanted a planet whose climate was similar to Earth so the new planet's geography was altered as such. As the star wars world had entire planets with same climate, it was quite a headache on how to proceed on this matter. The amount of water content on the planet was quite less when compared to the total landmass so there were no oceans on the planet but there were large seas. But, these large seas were bigger than the total surface area of earth by tens of times. They were seas in comparison to the size of planet.
The SQC ran hundreds of stimulations on the optimal distribution of various desert lands, rainforests, etc. and arrived at the most appropriate one which would give a climate similar to Earth. The new planet also had 7 pressure belts and the diverse distribution of lands and resources. Alexander arrived at the platform and changed the mental map of the planet to match the map prepared by the SQC. Alexander asked the SQC to prepare similar map for the moon and also changed the distribution of moon. Now, all the preparations were done and only the conquest of last of the suns was left.
The conquest of suns was not easy. The amount of solar storms, solar flares and other things that the facilities and the criminals had to face were overwhelming. The earthquakes caused tsunamis of lava and molten rocks. The facilities had remained unaffected but the amount of fear and horror generated by these scenes caused many criminals to commit suicide. Some of them became mad and attacked their companions. Alexander ordered rotation of criminals for every 3 months. The rotation went well in the earlier stages of conquest but in the later stages, it became increasingly tough to reach the facilities. In some cases, the facilities were submerged hundreds of feet under lava and had to be brought up by using magic. The death rate had increased to 98 percent in the later stages.
Thankfully, the area conquered remained in control of Alexander. The criminals were ordered to not see the outside as they would die from fear. Imagine being trapped in a metal box and submerged in a ocean of lava, Alexander didn't want them to go insane. Many begged for release but no one had the thought to curse Alexander. Alexander had let the returned criminals pardoned but restricted to specially created communities for such people. All the returnees suffered from extreme PTSD and tended to suicide within one month of release. Alexander had ordered the mind healers to help them but when, the mind healers themselves started showing signs of PTSD, Alexander called them back. Alexander then had to take a cruel decision, all the returnees were to be given mercy death. They were put to death in their sleeps. Alexander didn't like this but he cannot allow these ticking time bombs to roam the society. Surprisingly, the souls of these criminals had lost a majority of their blackness. Alexander theorised that some form of rudimentary Karma existed at his level also.
799 A.R.R, CORUSCANT:
Alexander watched from his starship as the last of the people inhabiting Coruscant were transported to the green cities. This world was home to 35 trillion beings. The doctors were quite astonished that people were able to survive in the toxic lower levels. Alexander prepared a massive spell and fired it at Coruscant. This spell was developed to reduce any alloy to it's base material. This spell was mainly used by magus working in the recycling plants. Alexander watched as the levels crumbled and formed mountains of base metals and rivers of chemicals. Tons of toxic fumes were generated and quickly mixed in the environment. The planet truly became inhabitable.
Alexander turned away as he saw massive automatic transporters came and started collecting the materials. Similar events were happening in all the densely populated core worlds. A poll was conducted to know the opinion of the previous residents of these worlds and a majority agreed to demolish the planets. All the important art works and cultural buildings were already transported to the green cities. Some truly beautiful planets were also going to be assimilated. The majority of planets under Republic were polluted concrete jungles or desolate wastelands. Alexander already had enough land so he was not going to include these planets but he was going to strip these planets of everything that was worth something. The planets were fitted with enough anti-matter explosives to turn them to dust. Some would say that it was a waste but Alexander didn't want to leave anything for the three bastards. The conquest of suns was complete a week prior.
Alexander returned to his kingdom and shifted to the platform. Alexander then combined all the suns together and checked the status of his kingdom;
NAME: THE FORTIS EMPIRE
LEVEL: MOON LEVEL- 6
TYPE: TECHNO-MAGIC
Alexander thought, " The star wars world that I have conquered was a moon level-4 world. I had copied the making of quantum crystalline material from a moon level-5 world, which was then magically enhanced to suit our needs. Everything in this kingdom is made from this metal which further increased the level of this kingdom. Then, the afterlife was also formed for this kingdom which again increased it's level. This is the status of my kingdom when the mega sun, moon and planet are not assimilated with the kingdom. Their assimilation would surely propel my kingdom to sun level. Let's begin the assimilation. The assimilation should be balanced or the kingdom will get destroyed."
Alexander placed a hand on the pillar and tried to connect the sun and moon of his kingdom to the mega sun and moon. It took him hours of effort to connect the two. A silver bridge was formed between the two moons and a flaming red bridge formed between the two suns. Alexander then first assimilated a massive habitable planet which was kept separate for a single reason, to transform the flat land of his kingdom to a proper planet. The planet got assimilated and the original mainland appeared as a new continent on the mental map. Alexander saw as a white circular ring formed between the sun, moon and the new mainland. The ring travelled through all the three celestial bodies. A new information was made available to Alexander.
Alexander thought, " According to this new information, the ring represents that now there is no leakage of energy to the void. A cycle has formed between the three and the energy would revolve around the three. Now, the leakage of both the spiritual and physical energy has stopped, the kingdom would now advance to slowly become it's own separate existence in course of hundreds of thousands of years. How this will happen is not told to me but this much information is sufficient.
Now, to the next piece of information. The
completion of cycle has given
me two abilities, ' Withdrawal' and 'Selective Conquest'. 'Withdrawal' gives the king the ability to withdraw from a world if he has lost 70 percent of his population to the opposing forces. Use of this ability weakens the king for decades. While 'Selective Conquest' gives the king an option to leave the world if he feels that there is nothing much of value left in the world. The king must conquer at least 80 percent of the resources and population before he would be able to use this ability. Use of this ability makes the realm gate shut down for 100 years."
After some thought, Alexander decided, " I am going to use this ability to conquer the star wars world. I have already taken away everything of value from this world. The space time gates used by Kwa are not appropriate for my kingdom as they are also massive weapons in disguise. Also, the world I am planning to go next have better options for long distance transportation. Let's begin the assimilation."
Alexander slowly started to assimilate the three mega celestial bodies into his kingdom. Alexander wanted to do this in a balanced way so that at no point, the environmental balance on his kingdom gets affected. It took Alexander two weeks to fully assimilate the three massive bodies. Alexander also did away with all the elements which made many planets and moons inhabitable. Around 90 percent of Alexander's King's might was consumed in terraforming the planet and the moon. The new planet had an atmospheric height of 1,500 kilometers while the moon had an atmospheric height of 750 kilometers. The seven layers of atmosphere were also present on both the bodies. Alexander also removed all the pollution from the newly formed planet and finally released the force which was accumulating for the past 10 years inside his garden.
Alexander for the past 10 years was collecting the force he was extracting from the star wars world below the garden. Since, force was under Alexander's control it didn't rebel. The amount of force present in the garden had caused the force to condense like spiritual energy and form a massive light green pool. This pool was hundreds of meters deep underground with many tunnels leading to all over the kingdom. Alexander did not wanted to lose the precious energy so he had not released it but now the cycle was completed, he could finally release the force. Alexander had extended the tunnel to cover the whole mega planet and then released the force.
Alexander sensed as tremendrous amount of energy very quickly for throughout his kingdom. The force brought life to barren lands. Plants started growing in these lands. Alexander watched as the land itself healed and sensed as the subjects of his kingdom regained a few years of their youth. Slowly, the rampaging force settled down and became a part of the planet. Alexander watched as the force through the white ring travelled to moon and sun. The force brought life to moon and decreased a few decades of the sun's age. Alexander thought, " If downgraded life energy can do this then what the original can do?"
Alexander examined his kingdom and found that after force's rampage, around 40 percent of his kingdom was covered in dense forests. The plants planted in the cities had become taller and greener. Alexander didn't wanted an overgrowth on the planet, directed the remaining force to the moon and watched as the plants started growing very fast. The wildlife was also more active than before. Alexander used the ' Selective Conquest' ability and withdrew from the star wars world. Alexander shifted to the realm gate and watched as the purple curtain disappeared and the golden realm gate become black in colour. The eyes on the top also closed down.
The platform also changed colour and became bright golden in colour and started giving out light golden lights. The gems on the pillar changed to deep red colour and right now, two of them were shining as they were small shining flames. It was quite mesmerizing. Alexander knew that his kingdom was now Sun level-2 in ranking. Alexander's ability 'viewer of the past' upgraded and became 'observer of the past'. Alexander could now see anything that had happened in the past, five times without expending his king's might, after that the expense would be doubled. Alexander was quite excited with this ability.
The hyperdrives didn't work anymore on his planet so they were converted to propulsion systems. The most advanced ship was Alexander's which was capable of circling the planet in 20 minutes. The fastest military aircrafts were capable of circling the planet in 50 minutes. Alexander entered meditation for a 100 years in order to further advance himself. As all the infrastructure was already developed, there was nothing that required his attention. As for Anna, Thompson and Jackson, Alexander had given them to sadists for 30 years. The post of Emperor's representative was no more and all the Department heads were to be re-elected in 20 years. As the military and civilian resources were now completely separated, there was no longer a resource allocation department as the kingdom can now produce as much resources as needed through Hephaestus.
After 100 years, Alexander awakened from his deep meditation. Alexander asked for a report and found that all was well within his kingdom. All the towers were completed and were fully operational and battle ready. His people had constructed towers on moon also. The population had once again boomed and there were now 80 quadtrillion people in his kingdom. Now, the civil department has made law one couple can only have two children. All the new inhabitants had converted into magi and there were 40 trillion new magus in his kingdom. The report was quite long so Alexander focussed only on these main points.
Alexander arrived before the reactivated realm gate and started searching for his targeted world. Alexander had already chosen a suitable cultivation world for himself. Alexander found the world and quickly opened the realm gate to that world. Alexander took a deep breath and entered the world.
