Humanity was one of the more common species across the Andromeda Galaxy and Milky Way Galaxy...
Though the term "humanity" was rather broad, from what Asuryan understood about the human race in this new reality, it originated on Earth. During certain parts of human evolution, it was common that the Earth was visited by extraterrestrial species that took some of the humans from Earth.
Thus, humans managed to spread across both galaxies and in some planets and regions, adjusted to the circumstances, and evolved accordingly. The Asuryani Species were not a single offshoot of humanity.
Though the people of the Helios were just average humans, because while Humanity had many offshoot sub-species, most of the humans that were taken from Earth tens of thousands of years ago were not really much different.
They were collectively categorized as Space-Based Humans, who were more adjusted to Space and living in Space than the Humanity of Earth.
[Five armed targets remaining in the vault-room...]
Hearing the voice of the Red Queen Alice, he nodded as he awaited the next Solar Guards that started advancing towards his place because they were pressed by the leaders of the Solar Cult.
They wanted to escape this place as soon as possible, it seemed, because they were cherishing their lives more than anything. In fact, there were not many guards in the panic room deep under the headquarters of the Solar Cult.
And what they were losing in numbers of armed guards, there were several higher-ups of the Solar Cult, based on what Red Queen Alice was streaming to him through the Neural Extranet Terminal Gene Implants.
Arcturus dashed towards the three Solar Guards as the Aetherius cracked with the distorting field, cutting through the soldiers like a hot knife through butter.
Using the moment of opportunity, his slaughter of the Solar Guards created panic among the remaining people within the vault, as some took their opportunity and attempted to run out while he was engaging the Solar Guards in single combat.
He only vaguely looked at the several people that attempted to escape, all four of them wearing lavish clothes, signifying their high status among the Solar Cult. Meanwhile, Alice did not run facial recognition on them if they were worth taking alive.
[You can kill all four of them, none of them are vital for you.]
Hearing that, he nodded, and with several swings, he cut through them with his sword, meeting no resistance at all. Though it was rather an unfair comparison, considering his extremely advanced equipment against relatively primitive foes.
With the last Solar Guard dying, he entered the vault room, and truthfully, he was rather surprised to see it state because the entire place could be described as the pinnacle of luxury.
Everything was covered in gold and various luxurious materials, collected probably from the entire Star Sector. There was a lot of symbolism and icons of the Solar Cult, and symbols of the sun were practically everywhere.
When he looked at the several men present, they were shouting and screaming something in the language that he didn't understand, and he wasn't really bothering with activating the automatic translation function of the Neural Extranet Terminal Gene Implants.
He then turned his gaze to the middle-aged man, human by all accounts, portly and very fat. It was clear that he was living far above the standards of the average Heliosians on the Helios IV.
He dashed in front of them, and with two swings of aetheries, he decapitated the military leaders of the Solar Guild, while Alice recorded their death through biometrics, which would be immediately sent to the Bounty Hunter Guild.
Just as he killed them, several seconds later, 10,000 Universal Credits were transferred onto his account, and two bounties were immediately claimed. Looking at the fat man, who was, by most accounts, the High Prophet of Sun, he took out a small vial with silverish liquid.
Before the High Prophet of Sun could faint or piss himself from fear, Arcturus stabbed the vial into his artery and injected the silverish liquid into his bloodstream. The High Prophet of Sun fell on the ground and started squirming like a pig to be shot, as Arcturus was now being worried...
'Are you sure it would work? He looks like he would go to the afterlife any second...'
While he trusted his A.I., he was still sceptical little bit when he saw the effect of the nanomachines on the High Prophet of the Sun.
[Of course, it would work... we only need to wait, and it already works; I have full control of his consciousness through the nanobots. I am commenting on memory searching. All necessary data found, transferring funds from their accounts.]
As he was hearing Red Queen Alice talking, he was surprised when he noticed that several hundreds of thousands of Universal Credits were landing at his account within the Cosmic Vaultbank.
This was indeed a very good catch, as he managed to get almost one million Universal Credits; this was already a tremendous amount for a small-time organization like the Solar Cult.
While the money may seem a lot, in fact, to the powerful Psykers and Warriors, it wasn't actually that much. With this amount of money, he would be able to expand his Droid Army a bit, but most importantly he would have some money to invest in himself.
He could buy enough Psionic Crystals to increase his Psyker Rank by one, and there would be enough remaining to buy another Gene Enhancing Serum that would push his physique to the Delta-Grade from the current Epsilon-Grade.
At the Delta-Grade, he would be already a proper superhuman, who would be more than twelve to fifteen times stronger than the average Baseline Human. Of course, Gene-Enhancing Serums were not really rare, but one needed enough Universe Credits and connections to buy them.
Usually only Type 3 Civilizations and Factions produced them, but one could also find some Type 2 that were focusing on genetic technology and had their own. Of course, the effects would then wary, depending on the source of the Gene-Enhancing Serum.
