Leaving aside my thoughts about meeting Hela and planning how to survive the meeting with her unscathed, I also needed to meet with the Takamagahara gods. Fortunately for me, the situation there wasn't bad, so it shouldn't be much of a problem.
When it came to obtaining more resources, I have also thought about exploring Draconic Deus, not planet Terra, but rather the rest of the planets that were located in the Plane Draconic Deus. There are a lot of planets that are untouched... probably. I don't know if they really are; maybe other species live in the Draconic Deus besides those in the center of the plane, Earth.
The problem here was the lack of the Void Ships or proper long-distance teleportation methods. While the teleportation methods could be easily devised, I saw the future in the Void Ships. They would be useful in the future while traversing the Astral Boundary.
"Architect, bring out the blueprints for the Void Ships from my past life."
I commanded my A.I.
Our civilization was a very advanced one in my past life, capable of easily traversing void and stars, conquering worlds, and destroying other space-faring civilizations with ease. Mainly thanks to the fearsome advanced technology that Solar Federation possessed. Not advanced as those stupid pointy-eared bastards, it was enough to eliminate most of the enemies of humanity.
[At once.]
Said the mechanical voice in my head as I was looking through the currently available blueprints. What the Architect brought out were the only ones that I would be available to create with my current resources within Architect's calculations.
What was problematic was the energy source.
Here, I couldn't use traditional energy sources and needed to adjust it to Arcanotechnology. Another problem would be FTL, Faster than Light speed.
Aesir had similar vessels, and they used some kind of crystallized energy converter as their energy source. Maybe, I can adjust the Runic Matrix on the Arcane Mechanical Automatons to work on a much larger scale, drawing the power directly from the Astral Boundary, in my case, the Dimensional Gap, as it was still part of the Astral Boundary.
"After the conquest of the newly birthed plane given by Zekram, construction of one Void Ship would be much easier. I can then explore Draconic Deus to the fullest."
I grinned.
The only Pantheon capable of something similar was Asgard, as Aesir and Vanir species were dedicated to advancing their magical-based technology, thus creating many wonders. Maybe I can ask Hela how Asgard has progressed, but probably a lot; they should have already controlled several planets. So there won't be a huge competition.
I also understood the fact why not many Pantheons were attempting to do the same. When you compare the time needed to develop advanced magical technology, top the opening portal through the Dimensional Gap, then the last one is much easier and faster.
"Architect, start calculating process on adjustments to the Lunar-Class Cruiser. I want it to be done within the next year or two."
[As you wish.]
I was aware that such an advanced mathematical and magical project would take a long time, mainly when Architect would be dedicated to doing other things aside from this one. I wasn't in a hurry.
"Also, add an implementation of the Anti-Matter engines into the model, creating duel energy sources concept engine."
I said after a short thought. Anti-Matter Weaponry was probably one of the most destructive in the arsenal of the Solar Federation Military. Fortunately for me, I was part of a team tasked with researching more advanced usage of energy-based weapons and Anti-Matter weapons.
[Then, I will also start adjusting the blueprint to accommodate several Anti-Matter canons.]
I wonder what has happened to my home universe if I really was in a different universe. Maybe my past home was some kind of sealed space, just like Dimensional Gap is. Sometimes.
While I was happy with my current life, especially due to my high social standing, personal power, and long lifespan, I wondered how life was going in there.
I don't know even if the time flows exactly the same between the two Universes. I knew that the Laws of all existence were different, so maybe even time flew in different ways here and there. For example, here, gods were real, and Magic was real. In my past life, I only heard rumors about beings called gods; they were just superstitions of various cultures and races.
The same thing as Magic, though about that, some people theorized that what those arrogant pointed ears could do wasn't purely because of technology, and there was sorcery mixed in, but I have never paid attention to it.
After finishing these matters of replicating some technological wonders of my past life, especially the Void Ships, I have gone to study Magic once again. As a scientist and researcher, it was in my blood.
As time went by, soon enough, one week passed by from when I started learning the Abyssal Runes from the book Zekram gave me.
My Arcane Mechanical Automatons worked hard as bees, creating countless other Arcane Mechanical Automatons with every resource available. I have also given a blueprint for a weapon system for the Drones, so they would have weapons with the firepower of higher ends of the Low-Class.
I planned to use those Drones as a combat force in the upcoming conquest. I wanted to know how strong they would be. Unfortunately for me, probably 99% of the blueprints from the Architect's database were completely useless without prior adjustments.
Evidently, most of the energy sources used by the Solar Federation didn't seem to work in this Universe. I think it is due to different Laws of the Universe, or probably every Universe has Will, that is forcing the Universe to evolve in a certain way while simultaneously forbidding every other way. So If I want to replicate anything, I need to adjust it to work with "local" energy sources.
It was annoying as hell. If not for that, I would have probably more advanced technology than Asgard, or at least on the same level.
After a week passed, I realized something... Venelana was coming for a visit. I need to quickly take a bath and get new clothes, as I spent last week cooped up in the library again.

Also about MC past life, I am still not decided if I should add his past Universe to the story in the future or not... What do you think? Those of you who have already guessed his past life? :D

At the same time, with Zekram, Romania.
Romania was the ancestral home of the Vampire race after the first generation of the True Ancestors waged war on the Primordial Gods of the Greek Pantheon in ancient times and took it by force. Afterward, the Blood Lords went to deep sleep, never awakening in the past thousands of years. Zekram knew that True Ancestors were Beings of Law that arrived from Astral Boundary.
Though Romania remained as the taboo land for Greeks and mostly for other Pantheons, as ruling Blood Lords were too strong, stronger than average Greater Divinity Stage God, and they liked blood of gods, for Vampires, especially for the Kindreds, it was the fastest way to gain power.
Blood Lords were the second generation of Kindreds, direct children of the True Ancestors.
Greater Divinity God was the same as Super-Devil, and each Pantheon had at least several such powerhouses, especially strong Pantheons had many of them. Christian God has Archangels that, while had energy reserves comparable to the Super-Devil, unfortunately, their combat prowess was lacking to defeat one.
However, their elemental advantage could still cause them a great deal of damage.
Vampires and Kindreds were isolationists. They never left their territory unless somebody attacked them. Though Zekram would be sure that they would gladly attack Church, they hated Chruch and Angels with a grand passion.
As he appeared in Romania, he was immediately surrounded by twenty Vampire soldiers in crimson armor, each giving out an aura of an Ultimate-Class warrior. It was understandable, as when a peak Satan-Class powerhouse appears in your territory, it is bound to cause chaos.
"Zekram."
Said a man's voice as one of the Vampires took out his helmet. He was a middle-aged man with shining azure blue eyes and a stern look.
"Stand down. He is expected."
Commanded man as all Vampires put down their weapons and dispersed into shadows.
"Viktor. It has been a long time."
Said Zekram a bit emotionally. Viktor was Vampire Elder, the same Class as Satan-Class, and was very powerful among the Vampires. He was a direct descendant of the 2nd True Ancestor and son of Blood Lord. More importantly, he was also one of very few Zekram's friends.
"Yes, it has been, my friend. Come, they are expecting you. The Council of Blood Lords is awake in full attendance."
Said Viktor as he led Zekram deep into a fortress that was hidden deep within the mountain range, hidden and protected by countless magic barriers and spells. Zekram was surprised to hear that even Ancestor was woken up, but it was understandable. Here the final decision-makers are Ancestors, especially if the top is about attacking faction that has also Being of Law.
Zekram knew that while True Ancestors were on the same level as Christian God or a bit weaker, they would both lose even if they fought him together due to elemental disadvantage.
This was why Vampires and Kindreds actively avoided a fight with anyone of Holy / Light / Sun / Pure or similar alignment.
"How is time treating you, Zekram?"
Asked Viktor as they were walking through the labyrinth of underground tunnels that were leaving the city of the Vampires. The Holy City of the Pale Blood, Yharnam.
It was where the Council of Blood Lords resided. Altogether there were four Blood Lords. There were two True Ancestors, from which two Blood Lords were descended from the 1st True Ancestor, and two were from the 2nd Ancestor. Each of the Blood Lords represented the main line of pure-blood kindreds: Brunestud, Tepes, Carmilla, and Corvinus.
"Not well since I need to prepare for war. Our three factions are finally going all out."
Sighed Zekram. Fortunately, Devils and Vampires / Kindreds had a relatively good relationship as they were pretty similar to each other, creatures of pure darkness.
"Hmm... I hope that I will be able to spill some blood of exorcists and angels."
Said Viktor with a bloodthirsty grin. Vampires and Kindreds hated Church and Angels probably even more than devils in a certain regard.
True Ancestors were not interested in anything in Draconic Deus as they were constantly researching the method of how to return to the Astral Boundary.
"Maybe you will, who knows. I will gladly see your Blood Legions march against the Church and Angels. But the question is, are True Ancestors willing to take a risk?"
The risk I was talking about came from the Greek Pantheon. Who knows, if some vengeful Primordial God remains alive and if True Ancestors made a move, they would attack Romania for sure. Not to mention that Vampires and Kindreds have attracted the ire of several Pantheons for their tendency to hunt for Demigods and even weak gods as a source of blood.
While some Pantheons might not have existences on the level of Beings of Law or in god system of power levels, Mighty Stage Gods, many of them have methods on how to injure or even kill one severely. Ancient artifacts, weapons, magic formations, divine weapons, and many more.
"Don't know... though most of our people would be eager to march to war. We don't know if our current enemies, besides Church and Heaven, will attack us. True Ancestors, on the other hand, aren't interested in the affairs of Draconic Deus; they are interested only in returning to the Divine Blood Plane. Our ancestral home."
Said Viktor as they were walking through the endless corridors.
"I am well aware, and I don't even want True Ancestors to act personally, that would turn this conflict in all our war between higher existence. Your Legions, on the other hand, are another thing."
Zekram's intentions were clear; he wanted Devils and Blood Races to forge an alliance; they were practically on the same side. That was an ultimate advantage that Devil Race had; they could forge alliances with similar races as them, something that Church and Heaven could not, due to their aggressive expansion.
"Hmm... that could work. Maybe even one of the Blood Lords would participate. Blood Lord Valerian Tepes is a battle maniac, so he won't miss the opportunity to go to battle and fight Archangels."

Don't forget that this is AU world... so I have changed the Vampiric faction completely.
Now several topics... about Power Ranking of messed DxD
I have created a new Class called Archangel, basically, they are above Seraph-Class, and are twelve winged Angels, that have energy reserves comparable to Greater Divinity Stage Gods or Super Devils. Also, please differentiate between the terms Class and Combat Prowess. For example, if you compare Sirzechs, Michael, and Azazel (their canon versions) all of them are practically the same Class if we are talking about energy reserves.
But if you compare their Combat Prowess then Sirzechs is far superior to the other two. Azazel and Michael while cannot kill or defeat Sirzechs, they could still cause him severe injuries due to elemental advantage. That is my theory why in canon Heaven was able to stand their side. While they were weaker in terms of Combat Prowess, they did not lose too much in terms of Class and had elemental advantage thus creating a feeble ceasefire.
The DxD power ranking is too messed up and inconsistent so I need to create it from start.
Also about Vampires... I will explain later in chapters their faction, working, and origins.
About True Ancestors of Kindreds and Vampires, yeh they are of Being of Law, but there are also other reasons why they don't want to personally and won't interfere. Basically, there is an agreement between entities of Draconic Deus, that no existence at a certain level won't intervene in affairs of other faction without fulfilling certain conditions. That is to prevent people like Shiva or Jade Emperor from running amoc
