After Johnathan finished Ruby's sword, he started thinking about a few things he should get done soon. First, making some armor, or maybe not, he wasn't really finding that necessary at this point, it would just weigh him down and look really weird if he had to change forms. Second, a new spot to grind exp. He had his new permanent 2x boost, and he was excited to use it. Third, feelings, specifically his about Ruby. He wasn't ignorant of his own feelings, he enjoyed time with her more than he did with other people. There was really only one reason why, but he was going to wait until he finished kingdom conquering to deal with his feelings. They were always waiting on earth, they could wait some more.
After he finished the sword, he realized Ruby was really falling behind in terms of basically anything at this point, so tried making Mana boosting accessory as well, he deiced to go with a pair of earrings.
After he leaves the workshop, he looks at his latest creations.

While the earnings and sword were not on the level of Tsukuyomi or his guns, it was perfect for Ruby right now, basically upgrading her to a magic swordsman. There was no way he thought it would end this well. After walking outside the forge, he teleports to the living room and sees them all reading manga. He then walks up to Ruby and taps her shoulder, she turns around and sees Johnathan with the sword and earrings. He decides to look at her status while they talk.

"What's up with the earrings?"
"Your physically to weak to be a magic swordsman, so they give you almost twice the strength of an average man alongside your current strength" Ruby then nods and puts the earrings on. She's visibly shocked when she finishes putting them both on. She looks extremely energetic, like she just had a great sleep. The aura she exudes is more intimidating, showing that shes gotten stronger.
"Is it like this every time for you?'" A hint of jealousy is there, if it's because of the feeling of gaining power so quickly, or the rate at which he gains it, he can't really tell.
"Pretty much after every evolution. On a side note, go practice. You just got a sword that might be the best you ever get your hands on, and judging by the way your holding it, you have no idea how to use a sword. " When Johnathan had passed Ruby the sword, she always looked anxious and fidgety, he just decided it wasn't the time to bring it up. "Anyways I need somewhere new to hunt until I get used to my new powers, so just practice while i'm gone." He then teleports to his room and makes a box of his flesh, around the size of his head, and used [Spare Brain]
Soon after, he could see the flesh inside moving around, he then felt an odd feeling, it wasn't really easy to describe the feeling of being in a hive mind with yourself. He then looked around to find something to hide the brain in. He then builds a false wall inside his closet, with the help of the system, and then looks at his notification.
[Skill [Hive Mind] has been obtained]
[Hive Mind] [Can be Upgraded]
[The user has made a have mind of their own brain. Due to just starting the hive mind, the user is limited to having a maximum of 5. Any brains created without the use of the skill [Spare Brain] will not count in the hive mind or benefit the host in any way. This includes being used to regenerate if the user has lost a brain]
"Well, that's nice"
He was really glad he didn't need to rip his brain apart to get spare lives, that would have been extremely traumatizing, even with all his abilities. No one wants to rip their brain apart and then watch it regenerate. That's just freaky on another level, of which Johnathan never hoped of reaching.
After his backup brain was created, he then started adding extremely small invisible eyes on all the parts of Tsukuyomi. Along with being his main weapon, was now able to act as 360 degree surveillance in new moon. Though it would work better on armor, he had none, and he didn't have the ability to make it shape shift into any form he wanted. He wanted an easy to maneuver in coat or something, not heavy plate mail.
After he finished playing around with his new abilities, he then teleports outside and starts flying. He's not really concerned about where he's going, as he had [Battle Junkies Instincts] he should be able to find something worth fighting. The skill was designed to find him strong opponents, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal.
After flying around for a few hours, he then sees a volcano, and next to it are a bunch of what he assumes are fire wryms. They looked like massive snakes, and they all were just lying there, his sense were going off like crazy, letting him know that there was something strong enough to give him a significant challenge was at the center of the volcano. Johnathan smiles menacingly before taking his blood and coating all of his weapons in it. He then makes 9 blood clones, before snapping his fingers, allowing the onslaught of falling weaponry to begin.
