Chapter 163: Onward to the Apocalypse!
After both of them finished their shopping trip to the trade district of the city and returned to the Imperial Phoenix Military Academy, they needed to talk with Jeniael about leaving the Phoenix Prime, as the girl was still training very hard.
It would take around one or two days for the resources to be delivered to the Obscurusu, so they would be leaving the Phoenix Prime after the resources were delivered and stored within the starship.
Arcturus would already move to the Obscurus right now, after redeeming some resources from the Imperial Phoenix Military Academy. He was still left with something around ten thousand Academy Points that he received as a reward from the Academy.
Those ten thousand Academy Points would be used to buy resources for him and his cultivation needs.
The journey to the planet Aquamarine would take some time, and despite the fact that Arcturus planned to adapt to the Beta-Grade Warrior physical strength, he also planned to train in his Psionic Arts.
For that, resources were needed, and with the Academy Points, he could buy a lot, because the buying strength of the Academy Points was much higher than that of the Universal Credit when it came to the resources for the students.
This was also a major reason why he had decided to attend the Imperial Phoenix Military Academy. The amount of resources that he could obtain at a very good price wasn't something that could be obtained easily outside of the Academy.
Though, one of the perks of being the Star Mercenary and Bounty Hunter was the fact that he was out and hunting for the Space Pirates and other scum of the universe. These people often had a lot of things with them, and if one was particularly lucky, they could obtain a rather good amount of resources.
For him, who didn't really wish to be tied to any faction too much, the occupations of the Bounty Hunter and Star Mercenary were pretty much suitable.
Once they returned to the Imperial Phoenix Military Academy, Arcturus headed to check on Jeniael, who was still training. For the past days, she spent all of her Academy Points on some pretty rare resources that were used for the Body Tempering of the Ancient Warrior Path.
Both Jeniael and Arcturus had not been intimate for some time already, mainly due to the fact that both of them were spending most of their time training, and when they had some time for themselves, it was usually disturbed by Zehal.
Like some sort of curse, in fact.
Nevertheless, he needed to notify Jeniael about what he had spoken with Zehal and that they planned to leave the Phoenix Prime in a few days, after the materials were loaded into the Obscruus.
Which would take at least a few days, as the Obscurus was docked in the space docks above the Phoenix Prime.
As expected, Jeniael was present within the gravity training chamber, as she was training under the heightened gravity. This was her usual training method and consisted of several pretty easy steps to follow.
She would usually take some resources that she bought and then activate some sort of Body Refining Method that she was using as she would combine the resources with the Psionic Energy Tempering and then start doing physical exercises under much stronger gravity.
That way, she could achieve maximum efficiency when she was training and obtain the most from the resources she was using.
Arcturus stood in the room for a few minutes as he waited for Jeniael to finish her training, because he didn't want to disrupt her. Disrupting someone during the training was considered a great taboo, and it was also a pretty rude thing to be told.
So he patiently waited at the edge of the room, as she slowly finished her training and looked at Arcturus in surprise, because she could feel that he had reached the Beta-Grade Warrior already.
Though he reached it through the Genetic Strengthening Serum and not the Ancient Warrior Path like her.
Even though she was just a Gamma-Grade Warrior, she was very confident in defeating Arcturus in a direct confrontation if they were to use just their physical abilities without anything else added to the mix.
"Are you here to spar?"
Jeniael asked hopefully because she wanted to spar, and Arcturus really wondered where her seemingly endless energy was coming from. He would have thought that she would be already pretty tired from all of the training that she was experiencing, and yet, she was still eager to fight with him-
"Later. Now we need to talk, because we will be leaving the planet soon."
Arcturus stated as he told Jeniael everything that he had spoken about with Zehal and their plans and preparations for the planet Aquamarine, and told Jeniael to pack her things up and prepare for the departure.
Even though she wasn't much pleased because they would be leaving and she was the only one who hadn't reached the Beta-Grade Warrior, but she understood that it would take her much longer.
In the end, for Arcturus and Zehal, all that took was one Genetic Strengthening Serum, and voila.
Done.
"Once we land, we can expect a very hostile reception to our presence. Thogu, this would be the first time that our Private Military Company would be making the debut, because to register the planet as private property, we will need to conquer it first."
The planet would be registered as Arcturus's private property once the local population was pacified, though much of it would be leased to the Voidfuse Company for various purposes.
"Now, after you finished that, can we fight already?"
Jeniael was curious about Arcturu's power after he reached the Beta-Grade Warrior.

A Few Days Later, Space Docks Above the Phoenix Prime, Command Deck of Obscurus
On the Command Deck of Obscurus, Arcturus, Zehal, and Jeniael gathered together as they were preparing to leave for the planet Aquamarine. The Wildstar Star Region was pretty far from the Phoenix Star Region and, most importantly, from the very core of the Phoenix Star Region.
The heart of the Imperium.
"Is everything ready and set?"
Arcturus asked as he was sitting on the captain's chair as he was looking at the screens and observing the droids under the control of Red Queen as they were transporting the last remaining materials and resources back to the warehouses on the Obscurus.
Once that was done, the Obscurus closed itself, and the Red Queen cleared everything with the command tower in the space docks. They received approval for undocking and would be leaving.
"We have something around two weeks ahead of us until we arrive at the planet Aquamarine, so during that time, focus on the training or anything productive."
Arcturus stated as Obscurus jumped into Hyperspace.
Right now, the Engines were operating at half their speed, because he wanted to arrive at the planet Aquamarine a bit sooner.
The Imperium decided to speed up the conquest of the Wildstar Star Region, and during the time they were on Ziras IV, a few of the Mid-Level Star Nations and Mid-Level Civilizations had already been conquered or outright exterminated by the Imperium.
The offensive was much stronger than previously, and the Imperium wanted to expand into the Wildstar Star Region as soon as possible. It was part of their preparations for the war against the Veren Republic in the near future.
What do you think?
