"What do we have here" muttered Aetheris as he looked at 20 'poorly' maintained storage rings, his newly remade Solaris ring, and two small dark red colored cubes which were the systems he chose for the Dyson sphere
'hmmm should I address the matter of the Dyson sphere first or check out these donations of mine Remiel' pondered Aetheris as he felt himself getting a little confused, he couldn't make a decision regarding the Dyson sphere without consulting Remiel
He didn't want to depend on Remiel, but the idea of having something like it and not using it was a waste in his eyes; instead, being dependent on Remiel, Aetheris wanted to create a mutualistic relationship since their relationship was commensalism.

Aetheris slowly picked up the two cubes out of curiosity using his hands to feel their weight, texture, and surface
"They feel..odd, the texture is too smooth, and the weight is almost nonexistent like those giant trees..hmmm..[Systematic appraisal]"

**Aether Core Nexus**
**Origin**: Arcana Realm
**Use**: This system handles mana storage and distribution throughout the Dyson sphere. It regulates the collection, storage, and distribution of mana, ensuring optimal energy efficiency and longevity of power sources. The Aether Core Nexus integrates mana reservoirs and energy efficiency modules...
**Automata Custodians
**Origin**: Mecha Aetherium
**Use**: This automation and maintenance system features self-repair functions and maintenance drones. The Automata Custodians handle routine maintenance and repairs and ensure the Dyson sphere remains in optimal condition.
weight: 175 tons per cube
Accessing it's records.... improving the fusion algorithm.... creating a link... Requesting permission from the abyssal mind....permission granted...transferring information while enhancing the process by [Thought Acceleration×15]>>
Aetheris suddenly felt a rush of foreign information flow through his mind, it wasn't painful due to his physiology meaning he didn't suddenly grit his teeth but he felt a comfortable rush of knowledge
"Wow that euphoric feeling...it almost reminds me of the time I tried out cocaine, but unlike that temporarily fraudulent feeling I like this one it feels like my hunger has subsided" muttered Aetheris as he analysed the information he received from Remiel
Although he has a normal-sized head, Due to his enigmatic Dragonic physiology Aetheris actually has a large, complex, and sophisticated neural cortex compared to many
"It seems like [Systematic appraisal] is not as simple as it seems, So that's it..huh, I will lose a lot of resources but I might gain something of greater value in return huh...so it's a gamble and I am willing to take it"
Aetheris snapped his fingers and the sand he got from the [Formless Absolute Eternal Void ] was released from his [Inventory] and formed a small mountain that was almost as tall as him.
Aetheris released his dark Crimson claws and slit his wrist but his passive regeneration began to kick instantly but he quickly used [Thread manipulation] to decrease the healing rate of his wound by keeping his wound open, although it was almost futile it was slightly working nonetheless
"It doesn't feel that painful...Now for phase 2"
Aetheris quickly approached the small sand mountain and poured his dense golden maroon-toned blood until the entire small mountain was soggy.
With a wave of his hand everything he got from the Celeste Dungeon was released into small piles, all the Mineral ores, Mana stones and the Dyson sphere was released too.
Three objects floated in front of him and each one was unique and beautiful, a dark purple diamond shape object, a yellow transparent sphere, and a solid white core
"Now... the final phase" muttered Aetheris as as he used [Telekinesis] and combined half of the mineral ores, Mana stones, and everything else including the two cubes from the Archives
*WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*
"Dayum, at least send a...you little cunning sh*t"
The initial Process of the fusion and upgrade of the Dyson sphere released a blinding light, and during that moment the Dyson sphere quickly stole the other half of the materials for itself leaving Aetheris with nothing.
"But how it is not eve...Ahhhh the life vessel" Aetheris began to nod as he understood the situation
The life vessel serves as a foundation for the ego of an object, one can even say it is a fragile soul without any traits therefore it is the purest essence of a Soul
This life vessel would be the Dyson sphere WILL meaning it would no longer be a mere unranked Artifact but a living being that would evolve independently with Aetheris
[A/N: Think of Mogo the green lantern planet or digital lifeforms in Tensura]

Aetheris was silent as a single tear escaped his left eye..he wanted to cry but he couldn't, Everything he gathered for the sake of research and gaining wealth was gone but his 'Donations' eased his broken heart a little bit
The Dyson sphere morphed into a shimmering, golden-maroon liquid, perpetually stretching and collapsing within itself.
The fluid seemed alive, constantly shifting and warping as if it were caught in an endless cycle of creation and destruction, its glossy surface rippling with an otherworldly energy.
"hey, Hey, HEY!!!" Exclaimed Aetheris as the Dyson sphere suddenly bonded to his right arm and released small threads into his body
<
' I guess the transcendental link means we would still be connected during its evolution phase...Yes '
Aetheris suddenly felt his mark shimmer as the liquified Dyson sphere began to enter it aggressively; the feeling was slightly painful but relaxing.
" Now I have to wait for 5-20 years... I hope it's worth it, [holy purification spell]. "A medium-sized magic circle appeared above Aetheris and released a shimmering light that cleansed Everything around it.
" Now....Let's see these 'Donations' of mine"
