Chapter 1804 Sector 3
The ship Emery and Julian had boarded traversed the cosmos at astonishing speeds, passing through multiple teleportation gates without encountering any resistance from the Magus Alliance posts. As soon as their vessel was recognized as belonging to the Nephilim royalty, all pathways were flung wide open, allowing them unhindered passage through the Magus Alliance's extensive territories.
It took them a little over a day to cross three sectors and reach their intended destination.
[Alpha Quadrant]
[Sector 3]
Sector 3 lay at the very heart of the Magus Alliance's territory, a single sector away from the Beta Quadrant, where both the prestigious Magus Academy and the famed Golden City were situated.
Emery and Julian were no strangers to the Ebiru solar system, the home of the Nephilim. However, the destination they were bound for now was within a different sector altogether.
"We're not heading to Ebiru?" Julian inquired, his curiosity piqued.
Jinkan responded casually, "No, we're going to my home first."
Sector 3 was home to the Amarhiks faction, a prominent family branch within the Nephilim faction. In a realm where the Proxima faction could govern an entire sector, it was evident that one greeted by a familiar sight—one that mirrored the modern, bustling galactic civilization found across multiple high-realm planets. In branch of the Nephilim family wielded considerable influence and control over Sector 3, ensuring the prosperity and stability of the region.
As Emery and Julian's ship emerged from the warp drive, they were greeted by a familiar sight—one that mirrored the modern, bustling galactic civilization found across multiple high-realm planets. In this vibrant corner of the galaxy, various spacecraft darted through the expanse, creating intricate patterns against the backdrop of endless stars. A sprawling space station loomed in the distance, while an awe-inspiring construct hovered near the blazing sun.
Much like the Nephilim solar system they had visited before, the Amarhikss had their own colossal celestial base. This massive structure efficiently harnessed energy from the sun, a testament to the advanced civilization befitting a grade 5 faction. The planet they were now approaching, however, offered a more serene and peaceful ambiance.
The focal point of this planet was a single, dominant city nestled at its center, surrounded by pristine blue and green landscapes that extended as far as the eye could see. It was a captivating sight, one that exuded tranquility and harmony.
"Welcome to my home, the Amarhiks planet," Jinkan announced with a warm smile, her pride in her homeland evident in her voice.
Emery, having delved into Jinkan's past through his earlier exploration of her memories, couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity. He was eager to witness the city ruled by the Nephilim princess and to gain further insight into the world she called her own.
Emery couldn't help but be reminded of his own past as he gazed upon the Amarhiks planet and its serene beauty. His thoughts drifted to a certain girl, someone who had left an indelible mark on his heart.
"Did you say she is here?" Emery inquired, a hint of eagerness in his voice.
Jinkan's response, however, was tinged with regret. "Klea? No, unfortunately, she and your friend Chumo are currently in another location. We will visit them after our business here."
Emery, while partially relieved by this news, couldn't help but think of another individual they had left behind on Earth.
"What about Thrax?" he queried. "He expressed a desire to join the expedition as well."
Jinkan's reaction to Thrax's mention was somewhat dismissive. "That brute? Of course, I'll arrange for someone to pick him up later."
Jinkan had proven herself to be resourceful and well-prepared, even beyond their immediate needs. She had assembled a team of a dozen magus to safeguard Earth during their absence. In the midst of their conversation, Emery seized the opportunity to discuss the participation of the other three magus on Earth: Morgana, Fjolnir, and Akasha the Abbot. Their inclusion would undoubtedly fortify their team for the upcoming duel with the Kronos.
Jinkan, well-informed and efficient as always, addressed the situation of Morgana first. However, when it came to Fjolnir and the Abbot, she provided valuable insight.
"To be eligible to join the Ancient Celestial Ruins expedition, one cannot have been a magus before the Ruins' previous opening thirty years ago," she explained.
This was a relief, as, despite their age, both the Abbot and Just attained their magus breakthrough recently, so they should be eligible.
"Alright, I will make sure to send someone to pick all three of them up as well"
The ship descended gracefully to the heart of the radiant city that lay nestled amidst towering mountains and a glistening sea—the Amarhiks city. As they touched down on a vast, open plateau atop the highest peak, Emery's eyes were immediately drawn to an imposing sight: a colossal statue of a winged figure, an angelic being, stood tall and resplendent on the mountaintop.
Emerging from the ship, Emery took in the breathtaking vista of the majestic city below. It struck him as larger and more grandiose than any city he had ever laid eyes upon, surpassing even the likes of Centauri, the Golden City, and any other place he had visited.
Jinkan, the proud princess of the Amarhiks faction, couldn't hide her satisfaction as she spoke. "You can find anything you desire here. After all, it was built and maintained by a grade 5 faction."
With curiosity piqued Emery was eager to explore the city's wonders. However, before he could embark on his own adventure, Jinkan had other plans.
"You're free to explore if you wish," she said, "but first, we need to meet someone first."
Guiding Emery and Julian through the city's bustling streets, the Nephilim princess led them to a grand palace—an architectural marvel adorned with white and gold accents. Along the palace's opulent corridors, numerous statues of winged figures graced the halls, lending an air of divine elegance.
Inside the palace, Emery was introduced to two towering figures, both were powerful grand magus. One of them was unfamiliar to him, but the other's presence took him by surprise—Grand Magus Delbrand, the former headmaster of the Magus Academy.
"Emery, you've finally arrived," Delbrand greeted him with a knowing smile.
The unexpected presence of Delbrand in this grandeur-filled setting was nothing short of astonishing, leaving Emery with a myriad of questions and a sense of intrigue about the upcoming events in this journey.
