Chapter 30: Becomming Psyker
Hyperspace, Obscurus
Arcturus knew that the starships of the Helian Navy would arrive soon enough after he departed from the Helios IV., because the commotion that he created within that place was huge, especially after he razed the entire Valley of the Converging Sun to the ground.
[Mission: The First Mark in History
Description: Start the rise of the Legend. Complete the Mission from the Star Mercenary Assassociation and Bounties from the Bounty Hunter Guild with a perfect score.
The mission has been completed.]
[Calciualtog rewards for the Mission: The First Mark in History.]
[System has judged the mission achieving the perfect score.]
[Reward has been calculated to be the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal.]
When Arcturus returned to his chambers, he decided to take note of the system notification from the System as he complied with the reward assigned to him by the Star Citizen Online System.
Suddenly, the crimson crystal appeared in his hand, and he looked at the little thing rather curiously. He knew that the EsPsion Crystals were rare, and the Empyrean-Types were even rarer...
'Where is the best opportunity to use it? Would it be to use during the traveling the hyperspace?'
He asked the Red Queen because she had an instantaneous connection to the Extranet and Imperial NetSphere and could search for the necessary information much later than he ever could.

<Wait a second... Apparently, it doesn't matter when you use the EsPsion Crystal, but it has been noted that some of the more powerful EsPsion Crystals were volatile to unprecedented effects. Espeically the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystals often have some unpredictable effects.>
Hearing that, Arcturus nodded his head and, in the end, decided to use the EsPsion Crystal right now. Most of the reason behind the decision was due to the sheer greed for the Psionic Energy and obtaining the Psyker Ability.
No to mention, he trusted Red Queen Alice to keep the things straight and safe. In case something went wrong, he was confident that Alice could keep him safe and also Obscurus on track.
Hopefully nothing would happen, even though he would use the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal right now.
'Also... how the thing is used?'
When he prepared to use the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal, Arcturus realized that he didn't even know how to use the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal in the first place.
<There are many methods recorded in the Extranet and Imperial NetSphere, though right now, you have only one possible choice of using the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal currently.>
Arcturus waited because when he noticed the pause that the Red Queen Alice was making, he realized that it would be something really bad or something that he wouldn't even like a bit...
'Split it up already...'
He was already getting impatient a bit when she was dragging it out.
<According to the research, it should be really safe to just eat it. The Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal would dissipate when it enters your body, and your body will automatically assimilate the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal. However, it has been noted that this procedure has not been used very often due to how painful it can be.
If you want to use the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal right now, then this is your sole option. If not, then I suggest waiting until we arrive back at the Lycurgos Starfort and have someone craft Synergy or something out of the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal.>
He contemplated about her words a bit because he could see that they sounded ridiculous, but at the same time, they had a certain degree of logic behind them.
'When the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal is reworked into a different substance, is there any loss in potential or something?'
Arcturus didn't know much about this, but he had a certain feeling that there was nothing free in this world, and he suspected that this also applied to the EsPsion Crystals as well.
<Yes, it has been noted that the majority of the EsPsion Crystals lose some percentage of their potential when they are reworked into different substances for the easier appliance.>
Just as he suspected, so there was no really other choice.
He already got his hands on the best EsPsion Crystal possible, obtaining the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal, and he didn't want the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal to lose even one bit of its potential.
Arcturus wanted to get all the power that the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal could provide him, so he obviously didn't waste any more time and threw the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal into his mouth and gulped it down in one go.
In fact, it didn't really matter a bit, and the moment he sensed the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal falling into his stomach, he was hit by enormous pain in his stomach, like it was being literally torn apart when the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal started dissolving itself.
At the same time, his body was automatically assimilating the dissolved fragments of the Empyrean-Type EsPsion Crystal, and the tremendous Psionic Energy started flooding every single cell and especially his brain.
Within the brain of the Psyker, there was a place where their Psionic Core was located, where the Brain most of the Psionic Energy was congregated and stored, so right now, Arcturus was feeling tremendous pain while he was shaking and trashing on the ground.
The entire process took far longer than Arcturus expected, but slowly, the pain was getting lower and lower until he started feeling almost nothing, though he still felt the huge waves of the Psionic Energy within his body.
Psykers were the people who could control and command the Psionic Energy and perform various wonders, depending on the ability they awakened during their Psyker Awakening; aside from that, they could also control Psionic Energy itself to perform various feats.
[Congratulations, host, for obtaining Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability: Dimension Empyrean.]
Psyker Abilities were divided into several categories based on their potential and power.
Most of the Psyker Abilities belonged actually to the Normal Category. Aside from them, there were then some High-Level Abilities that had the potential to reach higher degrees than the normal Category.
On the top of the pyramid were the Super-High Risk Pskyer Abilities.
