BXBX NOVEL Chapter 60: Delta-Grade Psyker
The process of reaching the higher grades of the Psykers and Psionics was simple and the same until the Beta-Grade or so. However, specific conditions were required for those Psykers with the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Abilities, exactly like his very own Dimension Empyrean.
Fortunately, in his case, the sole additional thing that he required to break through to the Delta-Grade Psyker was to reach the limits of the Psionic Energy Realm located within his Soul and create a cycle of energy within the Psionic Energy Realm.
Something that he had already fulfilled.
\'Now is the time.\'
Arcturus muttered as he turned the circulation of Psionic Energy to maximum limits using the Nuclear Chaos Formula and started sending waves of pure, unrestrained Psionic Energy toward the Psionic Core.
Soon enough, small cracks started appearing all over the Psionic Core in his body. As more and more Psionic Energy Waves were sent toward the Psionic Core, more and more cracks appeared as the Psionic Core started shattering and falling apart.
At one moment, with one Psionic Energy Wave, the Psionic Core in his body shattered, which hurt like absolute hell, forcing Arcturus to grit his teeth. He immediately followed the instructions of the Nuclear Chaos Formula.
Controlling the Psionic Energy within his body, he stabilized the shards of the Psionic Core, and according to the instructions in the Nuclear Chaos Formula, he started patching up the Psionic Core.
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 2%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 3%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 1%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 4%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 2%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 1%.]
After several minutes, the Psionic Core, which was formerly fragmented now, started looking more and more whole and complete until not even a single crack appeared on the Psionic Core, and the core itself shone with bright light.
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 6%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 9%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 8%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 7%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 5%.]
Slowly but surely, the process stopped, and Arcturus felt that he had already reached the Delta-Grade Psyker. This was rather a big milestone in his life now; he felt several times more powerful than before.
The growth of the Nuclear Chaos Formula was exponential...
It was a rather weird feeling, but he felt like the entire world had more clear than before.
[Host has reached the Delta-Grade Psyker.]
[Host\'s Psionic Energy Potency Level has reached Level 3.]
The Psionic Energy Potency Level indicated the degree of how potent the Psionic Energy was. The Potency of the Psionic Energy was something essential for every single Psionics or Psyker because it indicated the strength of their Psionic Energy.
Normally, the average Psionics had the Potency of their Psionic Energy at Level 1, and the elite talents had it at Level 2. Some of the more Psionically advanced species would have Level 2 at awakening as Psionics or Psykers and would be able to naturally evolve it to Level 3 when they advanced to higher Grades.
Arcturus\'s Psionic Energy Potency Level increased to Level 3 the moment when he advanced to the Delta-Grade Psyker, which was already the limit of what could be achieved through natural evolution.
To advance the Psionic Energy Potency, one needed to obtain something called Soul Cores, which were rather rare kind of resources that could be obtained only from the Alien Dimensional Beasts which were heavily Psionic in nature and they also had very developed Souls, somehow when they mashed up together, it created Soul Core within their bodies.
These Souls Cores could then be used by the Psionics and Psykers to advance their Psionic Energy Potency Level above Level 3, which was the limit of the natural evolution.
The higher one went with the Psionic Energy Levels, the higher grade of the Soul Cores one needed, and the Alien Dimensional Beasts were very powerful. They were not something that even ordinary Warriors and Psionics could handle.
Usually, only powerful ones dared to go out and hunt for the Alien Dimensional Beasts, not to mention they lived only in a few parts of the known universe. For example, within the Andromeda Galaxy, the places where the Alien Dimensional Beasts lived could be counted on one hand.
Ironically, though, the unnamed prehistoric planet discovered by the scouting probes of the Mind Flyer\'s Mind Fleet Leviathan had a rather large population of Alien Dimensional Beasts in several of its areas.
That was one of the reasons why the Mind Flayers why they were so interested in that peculiar planet.

He looked at the changes in the interference of the Star Citizen Online System. There were some minor changes in the interference; he didn\'t care about it that much, as Arcturus then proceeded to sigh in relief.
He was very satisfied with the outcome because he managed to reach the Delta-Grade Psyker, which was one of his top goals. Right now, he was more confident in surviving the crisis that was coming to the Alaric Star Domain in the form of the Greenskins and Mind Flayers.
If he had to guess, then his raw power was probably five to seven times stronger than before, but if the increased potency of his Psionic Energy was added to the mix, then he could say that he was ten times stronger than before.
Arcturus was rather confident in taking it head-on, even Gamma-Grade beings under the right conditions. This was rather an achievement; even if it were ordinary Gamma-Grade beings, if it were some elites cultivated by powerful factions, or if it were some geniuses, then it would not be the case.
"At least now I have some capital in surviving this shit... why every great opportunity is an even greater risk."
He knew that there were a lot of things that he could obtain from the war against the Orks and Mind Flayers. Just when he was thinking about it, he already had imaginary symbols for the Universal Credits in his eyes, as if they were animated cartoons.
Advancing to the Delta-Grade Psyker gave him far more confidence, especially in the area of survival during this entire ordeal. If he successfully survived this mess that was coming this way, he would experience exponentially growth...
The last thing that Arcturus needed was to discover the newly obtained ability of the Dimensional Empyrean after he reached the Delta-Grade Psyker. This would, though, take some time because it required some time for the new ability to awaken properly.

Several hours later, Arcturus was resting within his room in the Dojo of the Grandmaster Byrmellir, who was right now away from the Dojo, because he was now giving all of his attention to the incoming invasion of the Alaric Star Domain.
The elderly Grandmaster of the Eternal Empire of Asurya was right now spending all of his time available on military preparations together with the military command of the garrison of the Starfort Lycurgos.
So, Arcturus had most of the Dojo for himself, aside from the areas of the Dojo that were forbidden for him entirely. The entire place was huge, though he was spending most of his time mostly in the little garden that was in the middle of the Dojo.
Primarily due to the peaceful feeling that the garden gave him when he tried to meditate.
<Master, I have finished the last upgrades on the Obscurus with the available materials. The approximate end of the world is scheduled to be within the next 26 hours and seventeen minutes. Construction of the Battle Droids has been started; it is expected that I will be able to produce 20 ABD-Spectre MK Battle Droids per one day.>
Hearing the report of the Red Queen who materialized from his Neural Extranet Terminal Gene Implants, he nodded at her projection.
