John had various plans in place for the rockets that he would be launching into the atmosphere.

He set up a manufacturing line of rockets that could reach the upper atmosphere and space.

He had lines upon lines of these rockets set-up.

He had thousands of them.

They had three forms of attack.

A nuclear strike of 500,000 tons of force.

This was far cheaper then the orbital strike. The satellites had become huge spaceships after having to load multiple rods weighing in each at over 9000 kilograms.

Each 'satellite' was equipped with three of these rods.

You then had a plasma laser that could shoot from the satellite itself.

There would be thrusters on both the nuclear missile and the satellite.

John ran into a problem after the construction of one of the spaceships was completed.

He couldn't put it in his storage space. His storage space was infinite. But the structure was simply too big.

It was fine for him to use his mind to store something in his storage space. But it was a bit ridiculous to house a giant spaceship.

The problem wasn't space limitation, but his mental limitation in the amount he could move at once.

These also weren't traditional spaceships. These were advanced spaceships from the future of humanity.

He even constructed a few alien spaceships that could hover and move in any direction.

John then used an advanced artificial intelligence and had the spaceship deconstructed. He had logistic robots load the parts into his storage space.

Instead of building multiples. He simply had all of the parts made and ready.

John soon was facing a problem. He was lacking resources.

So what did he do?

He used his artificial intelligence to design mining robots and had them process the materials he would need.

John spent an additional 50 years storing these spaceships. He had thousands of them. During these years, he made excellent progress in multiple areas.

He had also created a few hundred dead man switches. These were nuclear explosions he could set off by clicking a button.

He would carry the bomb himself in this case.

John also developed a plasma sword.

And a plasma gun.

He had many back-ups. He had many of these.

During these 50 years, his nanites had grown considerably as he hadn't needed to die and use a waypoint during this time.

And simply teleporting brought the nanites with him.

He had also made progress in this aura environment.

He had formed seven dao pillars in his dantian. He then melted these together forming a core.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

He was still however still rankless. He hadn't become a rank 1 existence yet.

But his aura could now support flight!

John had developed an A.I Chip, Nanites, Plasma Technology, Fusion Reactors, Logistics/Guardian robots, Orbital Bombardment Devices.

Not to mention he had used that special ring he had found and created a fake cover soul.

You might wonder why he would do that if he had a soul cloak? It was so he could leave his soul cloak on at all times. He then had that special ring mimic the properties of a soul due to its structure.

You might think he has then mastered soul? Right?

No. It is just due to this ring having spiritual root properties as it is made of special energy. He couldn't make another ring like this even if he wanted to.

So if he had to blow himself up for whatever reason. He would always make sure to store it in his infinite space.

He could now teleport to his waypoints now though. So he likely wouldn't encounter many situations like that.

In other words. He could now trick the system. He could make it appear that he was the required rank even if he wasn't.

He just needed to collect the orbs that held the soul brand.

Manipulating the soul of the runic ring was as simple as managing a large formation. For others, it might be impossible. But for John... It was quite simple.

Especially since his brain had the A.I Chip.

This chip had coded artificial intelligence in it. This was mainly to manipulate the trillions of nanites in his body automatically.

It could also command his armies of robots quite easily.

So he didn't need to try to split his focus. It would also create a network among the satellites.

During the 50 years of building parts for his spaceships. He had built a variety of them. Some could even house people! The spaceships were rather advanced and could travel half the speed of light when in hyperdrive.

That wasn't all he had done in those 50 years. He also dabbled in runes and created what he referred to as 'a work of art'.

He made a special suit that had its own internal life support. It also had an exo-skeleton. He combined the best of technology with his god like formations.

It could allow him to be completely fine under heavy pressure or while in a vacuum.

The suit was powered off of aura. So John would need to manage his aura consumption when in the sanctuary. Despite having access to the resources of the entire world. The suit required heavenly materials.

What materials were 'heavenly'? The mutant crystals!

The suit required these crystals to power it. Otherwise the suit took power from the user.

By using runes. John was able to fabricate the proper pressure and breathable air for the suit. Not to mention its combat uses.

John only built 3 of these suits. He created a new type of metal that used a small fraction of the mutant crystals as the foundation for the skeleton of the suit.

The reactor of the suit was covered in runes and had a few functions.

Firstly. It could form a spherical shield around the user. Blocking all forms of attack.

Second. It had thrusters for flight into the sky.

Third. There were was an invisible mode that made the entire suit blend in with its environment.

He called these three suits 'battle suits'.

He also had stored 200 basic astronaut suits.

That he could use more casually. Or have other people use them.

There was also transmitters and receivers for audio and infrared cameras on the battle suit. The amount of data he received had increased quite a bit. With his perception being so high. He was able to use this suit to its full potential.

These cameras and data were connected using sensesium. Directly connected with his brain.

He could even control the battle suit through his chip without needing to be in it. Thanks to him developing an exo skeleton for it.

John wasn't out of ideas though. During this half century, John had created advanced holograms. So he could fake 'magic'.

He had developed a special 'watch' that could project fake magic circles and produce a spherical shield around him that could withstand half a million tons of force. It was a small device though and would become stressed from any attack. So it could only block attacks for a bit of time.

He could basically make it look like he was a god. He would be bluffing of course. The reason he worked on holographic technology. It was to hide his technology in the trial. He combined runes and technology to pull off illusions.

How did this work? Well he had projectors installed in his nanites and on robots that were cloaked.

After these last 50 years... John finally felt ready.

John changed into some new clothes. He looked into his storage space and saw more then a simple army of robots. He saw multiple warehouses worth of materials and supplies.

He hadn't been picky about what he placed in his storage space. He went around the world and collected many supplies.

The entire world had become his factory.

He also took into account needing to survive missiles himself against the enemy. So he developed one time use shields which could cover half a kilometer in every direction in a shield that could withstand over five hundred thousand tons of force for a few minutes.

These shields were based mainly on formations and aura using the special crystals. So he only had three of them.

"I think I'm finally ready to explore the second trial."

John activated his system as an illusory disguise covered his body. Something different happened though. His suit seemed more refined.

He then took a deep breath...

He looked at the world around him. He felt a bit of nostalgia. Although he only spent a few years here. He felt at home.

But he wouldn't become a supreme being staying safe on this planet.

He was on a skyscraper looking at the entire city covered in solar panels. He also saw logistic robots hovering in the sky all working on various task.

He was deeply satisfied with his creations.

But...

It was time for him to challenge the gods!

He turned on his spirit body cloak.

Took his ring out of his storage space and put it on.

Gloves appeared on his hands hiding the ring.

He then teleported to the temple.
