System: My Doomsday Train Chapter 991 373: "Awesome...

"..."
Chen Mang quietly stowed the "Lighter King" into a drawer. The item lacked an original name, with "Lighter King" being his own invention. He found it perfectly suitable, at least.
It could prove useful someday.
Yet this event acted as a stark warning for him.
Avoid keeping one-use devastating explosives on the train, lest some random rule power drags them away like the lighter. Such a demise would be utterly unfair.
...
Following an extensive inventory review.
He completed the count of gains from this venture, surpassing even those from the "Cyan Mountain Civilization"—despite the substantial haul already taken from there.
However—
The disparity between a Seventh-level Civilization and a Sixth-level one remains immense.
Though the Rough Civilization lacked unified command, it dwarfed the Cyan Mountain Civilization in every way.
From the Cyan Mountain Civilization, he secured 2872 foundation units of iron ore!
An astonishing figure indeed. That massive iron ore reserve enabled maxing out the "Steel Train Armor", rendering it nearly unbeatable across the stars.
The Rough Civilization yielded even greater spoils.
His gaze shifted to the train's resource display.
"9877 foundation units of iron ore, 1028 foundation units of copper ore, 998 foundation units of titanium crystal ore, 736 foundation units of Red Heart Rock, 1239 foundation units of wood."
The standout prize was the near ten thousand foundation units of iron ore from the Rough Civilization.
These lavish supplies would propel the Constant Star Train to its zenith.
Furthermore.
From the Rough Civilization, he gathered numerous concealed assets, such as fully developed planets scooped via the Gate of Space, plus untapped mining worlds also claimed through the Gate of Space.
He amassed a fair amount of Murphy Stone too, reaching 0.19 foundation units.
For the first time, the Constant Star Train's Murphy Stone tally used this "Cosmic Level Unit" of foundation units.
Even just 0.19.
Proved rather impressive.
The "Cyan Mountain Civilization" offered only 0.03 foundation units of Murphy Stone.
Notably.
Substituting Murphy Stone for level 0 permissions to elevate armor from level 5000 to 10000 demands roughly 1000 foundation units of it.
That would require thousands of "Rough Civilizations" to amass.
"Very good."
Seated in the train compartment, Chen Mang eyed the resource panel, letting out a soft breath. The train's stockpiles now truly instilled security, priming it for another full-scale upgrade.
Once every key part hits max level, he'd stand unafraid against Divine-level Civilizations.
The next upgrade target...
"Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon."
...
Maxing the armor from level 5000 to 10000, its peak, drained 2500 foundation units of iron ore, nearly exhausting his reserves back then.
This expense vastly outstripped typical costs for seven-color level components.
Now, the "Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon" sat at level 2000; reaching level 5000 took just 100 foundation units of iron ore, and level 5000 to 10000 needed only 1000 more.
Just 1100 foundation units of iron ore spent.
Propelling the "Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon" straight from level 2000 to max level 10000!
Multiple panels promptly flashed on the screen.
-
"Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon 5000 Level Supermodel Effect": The fired strike morphs into a horrifying black hole, dissolving all dimensional universes within a zone.
"Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon 10000 Level Supermodel Effect": Power dramatically boosted.
-
These marked the two supermodel effects from maxing the Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon.
The 5000-level effect appeared formidable.
The 10000-level one seemed rather plain.
Yet deep down, he knew otherwise.
Namely...
The 10000-level supermodel effect was probably far more devastating.
At such heights, simplicity signals proximity to the ultimate limit.
10000-level.
The absolute peak.
Right then——
A fresh panel line gradually surfaced on the train control console screen.
-
"Human Civilization claims first in the universe to max out the 'Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon' component; it auto-upgrades to 'Holy Hall' level."
"Thus, granting the Civilization Wonder 'One Finger'."
-
"..."
Chen Mang froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded this time.
What was happening?
Did Human Civilization pioneer maxing the "Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon"?
Earlier, being first to max armor hadn't shocked him, figuring others prioritized Energy Shields.
No one bothered with armor.
That tracked.
But...
He never anticipated leading even on the "Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon", a staple weapon across train civilizations.
His face grew increasingly odd.
He realized...
Maybe he and everyone had overhyped divine-level civilizations' might. He'd viewed them as the universe's power apex, the supreme entity.
Evidently, even divine-level civilizations hadn't hit the finish line. For example, they seemingly couldn't max components.
Let alone the resource toll for maxing.
He was certain divine-level civilizations held such resources.
Simply, maxing a seven-color level component like the "Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon" from level 2000 to 10000 guzzles immense Murphy Stone.
