Arc was with Booka and the rest looking around the black market looking for something good to buy. He asked Booka about the information regarding all the unique items available on the black market. And Booka dint disappoints him he was able to gather many rare artifacts and materials while waiting for Silva to complete her mission.
Arc saw many forbidden technologies being sold in the black market, in one of the shops he even saw alien races being sold as slaves, and in some shop, he saw the forbidden tech blueprint of another alien race, luckily he already used to seeing similar things in Liberty of course not in the center of Liberty but in an obscured corner of Liberty as Liberty has its own Black Market only not this big, and open.
After strolling in the Black market Arc was able to buy many things that caught his attention, but nothing important, many of the things being sold in this black market are not so high tech. And as interesting as the black market is. It only covers things in the backwater sector in space. But he was not disappointed he was able to purchase many rare materials not available in the normal market the only regrets he has he can't buy a lot of them.
But according to Booka the biggest Black market in the galaxy is in dark sector its one of the forbidden area in Bright Galaxy, according to Booka the Black Market there consist of several medium-sized planets and 3 huge planets, and it's under the protection of one of the most dangerous Race on the Galaxy The Archet Race, its one of the oldest Race in Bright Galaxy and was known for their advance tech that rivals that of those on the Central Universe. but that is not all The Archet Race is said to be only a subordinate race of the much older race the Protoss. not much is known about the Protoss race only that Bright Galaxy was once under the Protoss race before they become a recluse race. Nobody knows the reason why and no one is brave enough to dig deeper.
The Archet Race presides the organization called Hades and is considered to be the most powerful criminal organization in the bright galaxy. they rule the easternmost part of the galaxy known as the dark sector, the reason for that only obscured sun can be found there. obscured sun is similar to the black sun only the obscured sun doesn't give the benefits the black sun does. The Archet Race is also called the eyeless race as they really don't have eyes but instead have powerful hearing and psychic ability.
According to Booka he never really been to the dark sector only heard stories about it, the same with his knowledge about The Archet Race, Hades and the Protoss.
But Arc didn't mind whether it's real or not he enjoyed listening to that kind of stories, and swear that one day he will visit them all.
Arc went back into the Specter he saw Arielle busy organizing the inventory, and looks like they manage to resupply without any problem whatsoever.
Just waiting for Silva is quite boring, so Arc decided to go online and fight in the Colosseum for training and also to pass the time. Ever since he discovered this Colosseum and found out he can fight all kinds of race in a no-holds-bar fight with only primitive cold steel weapons, he has been addicted to it and visits it whenever he has time.
Meanwhile, back in GFA the situation is not looking good, even with Arc cluster drones helping in the shadows GFA still losing a large number of Ships with every encounter with Ganesh, which is getting more frequent, luckily humanity is not the only race fighting with the Ganesh, a few days ago The Coalition of Alien Race contacted the GFA in order to build an Alliance against the Ganesh, and through them, GFA found out that they have been very lucky with the war so far, that was because Ganesh is fighting with the Coalition that most of Ganesh main fighting force is preoccupied because of it, and the one they are fighting is mostly reserve unit or simply cannon fodder.
And when they learned the true might of Ganesh it's like a cold bucket of water was poured into their heads waking them up from a good dream. And because of that, their war that was because of resources has to turn into survival…
A meeting with all the heads of GFA and the leaders of the Coalition took place a few days after that lasted for over 12 hours and will continue for a couple more days.
Arc was unaware of it, but even if he knew nothing will change and besides the moment Arc saw the Different type of Ganesh that is different from the one GFA is fighting with, Arc already realized the danger of Ganesh, and now that he knew that Ganesh is a product of Sovereign Tool's there's no way he will let his guard down and that's why he ordered Legion to monitor and keep earth and Liberty safe while he was away.
He even gifted Legion several new mother cores that have yet to be deployed for Legion to integrate and strengthen his forces. Legion now has several mother cores directly integrated into his forces making Legion more powerful and intelligent.
Back on earth, Grand Army entered a building phase where more than 90% of the grand army is being utilized to building the Grand Army foundation, Oda implemented many new policies and guidelines to keep the Grand Army in Order.
Somewhere in space a huge battle is taking place Ganesh War ship never seen before are attacking a huge planet that's mostly water, and a huge dome-like ship is doing its best to defend their home planet but obviously failing, but unknown to the two forces a black orb-like object is recording and sending the information to a huge cluster of drones and Legion are watching intently. And this kind of battle is taking place in many sectors of the galaxy and Legion and its scouts are watching and learning at the same time.
Legion issues an order that only the cluster drones can understand and countless drones in the galaxy have begun to move. And this action didn't escape the eyes of many forces watching every action of the cluster drones...
"My lord..." A huge figure kneeled down, and continue to say. "They are moving!"
"Did they finish harvesting?" Said the figure on the throne.
"No my Lord, for some reason we can't explain. They just stop working immediately and a few seconds later started to move..."
"Hmmm, continue to watch them but don't get too close we can't afford to antagonize such forces."
"Understood my Lord," the kneeling figure stands up bowed and left.
"I feel that something bad is going to happen, sigh, looks like we can't afford to be indifferent any longer...' The figure on the thrones said.
Suddenly the shadow beside the thrones squirm and twisted and a slim figure suddenly appeared from the twisting shadows.
"The man in the thrones didn't even look at it and said. Contact the Coalition and tell them we agreed to their demand."
The shadow without saying anything bowed and disappeared like its never been there in the first place.
And situation similar to this are happening all around the galaxy, Bright Galaxy who has known for its peaceful environment compared to other galaxy is about to enter its most chaotic phase for the first time and Arc who was the Trigger of it all is on his ship fighting in the coliseum in the virtual world without realizing anything.
