Chapter 176: A Unique Gacha To Be Sure
POV Rio
I look over the Gacha results and think about the rough value.
'The DNA Chip is always nice. Four Arms is a classic. The Sky Dimension can hopefully get us an infinite supply of Totems Of Undying. Or at the least some new loot. The Warp Star can stay with me in case of an emergency. The Ray Gun is interesting but not sure how valuable. A DC-15 might be more convenient. The Broken Leg Serum can go to Lex. It's neat but nothing super special. Seven Trumpeter and Armegedon Evil are spells that are always nice to have. Never know when they will come in handy. I know exactly what to use the Tactical Nuke for. If anything it will save us having to waste our few Nukes.'
Next came the magic items.
'Thor's Hammer might be funny to use as a Prank but otherwise, it's not that useful. I will likely either sell it later or put it in my trophy room. Dimension Lost is interesting but it's more a stalling weapon. I can find someone to give it to later. The Robes can be given to whoever gets the title of Grandmaster in the new mages order I am making. Still need to think of a name for it. Dawnbreaker is great but I am not certain of its limitations. It could deal with Rasputin easily but would it be effective against Nightmare Moon? The Summon Power Boosters are interesting. I wonder if I should make a tournament to see who gets one as a reward. The other can maybe be kept in reserve for when Sunset is ready.'
I think about her progress and try to determine how far she is from being ready.
'Not sure but hopefully soon. I do not know what I should do with the Slime Body Pillow. A gift perhaps? Treasure Planet can be sold off and I will just keep the schematics and knowledge. If I sell it with everything else I will be that much closer to buying the Star Forge. I got a lot of food items this time. Zap Apples are something I would like to try at least once. Setting up a farm will be easy. The Packaged Survival Meals can replace MREs and the battle rations. Grandma's Soup is likely only something I can make but it's a potent healing tonic. I am sure the Pokemon will be super happy about the Pokeblocks I will make.'
After the food was the technology.
'P.A.M. is interesting but I recall her being fairly inaccurate. Then again she helped the Railroad survive against the Institute and that was with much less data to survive on. Elemental research will accelerate greatly with the new schematics. Same with the MAC and Nanomachine research. Vesemir will love the Artificial Mutagen Synthesis. The N-1 can be a feasible alternative to the X-Wing. We will have to do some serious comparisons and stress tests to determine which is better.'
The next to look over were the summons.
'I will probably sell Jeff as there is no need for him and he seems like more of a hassle than an asset. Funny until he hurts someone. Doomsday is impressive but not sure where I would use him. The Dimensional Lords are dealt with except Vishanti but I already know who is dealing with them. Sionver Boll is just what Orochimaru has been looking for. She is knowledgeable on many topics including Biology. The Zillo Beast will be interesting. At the very least it can enjoy a peaceful life in the Crystal Imperium. Now the Teen Titans. They can be a great asset to the world but when should they be summoned and where? How involved should they be with the Crystal Imperium? I will have to ask the others for their opinions as I am not too certain.'
The last thing to look at was the Trial. I smiled when I read its description.
'This should get me the last piece of the Star Forge Schematics. It will also be a great opportunity to train our forces in Naval Combat. I will need to make my case to the command staff. Worst-case scenario I will only take the droids. Now let's send the things where they need to go and start summoning.'
I sold the Roomba summon for a small amount then I went to Gaia for the next summons. In a flash of light, a massive creature is summoned along with a smaller humanoid.
Boll: "Greetings, I am Sionver Boll. I am happy to work with you."
Rio: "Nice to meet you Doctor Boll. Take this Datapad. It will tell you everything you need to know. You will be working under Orochimaru for the time being. Feel free to ask me or any other summons if you have any concerns or questions."
Boll: "Yes, Your Highness."
As she leaves I look up to the Zillo Beast. I noticed a few things that make me certain that they misidentified the Zillo Beasts as Non-Sentient. The eyes and mind being the most obvious.
Rio: "Hello. May I have your name?"
Scarra: "I was known as Scarra amongst my kind. Back when they were still alive."
Rio: "I am sorry for your loss. I assure you the Crystal Imperium will welcome your kind with open arms."
Scarra: "You are a strange one. I see no fear in you. Despite my size, I only see pity and something else in your eyes."
Rio: "You are a beautiful species I find it saddening that your kind would be wiped out. Your kind did nothing wrong other than try to survive. But that is in the past. What I want is to give you a new home. There are numerous places for you to live. All of them would welcome you. I have brought numerous species under my banner and saved them from extinction by those who misunderstand them."
Scarra smiles at me and I admit that she has some impressive fangs.
Scarra: "Then I thank you for accepting me, Dragon Lord."
I look up surprised at her statement. She just laughs.
Scarra: "Suprised are you? Yes, I am a dragon though we are different from what you might expect but we are called Dragons by the Dugs. At least in the ancient days. Back when there were many more of us."
She sighs and I can sense a great melancholy from her. I can't imagine what it would feel like to see your species slowly die off. I just try to send her positive emotions.
Rio: "Perhaps there will be more Zillo's in the future. Fate is often strange."
We talked for a few hours about what she is looking for in a home and what she needs to survive. In the end, she decided to live in Sanctuary for the time being while we Terraform other planets. A Dragon Planet was mentioned in the past so all this does is give more credence to the value of making such a planet. After our discussions, I move on to the last summon for today. The Low-Med Summon I chose this time was another Force Wielder due to my being able to ensure loyalty easily enough. I decided on Kira Carsen due to her training in Sith and Jedi techniques.
Kira: "Wow, this is different. How long has it been since I was alive? Days? Months? Years?"
Rio: "Excuse me, but are you okay?"
Kira: "Huh? Oh, sorry it's just I know I died but my death was abnormal. So I am not sure how long I have been dead. But I can meditate on that later for now let me introduce myself. I am Jedi Master Kira Carsen."
Rio: "I am Rio Magus Crepusculum, Emperor of the Crystal Imperium. And current Grandmaster of the Je'daii Order. I summoned you hoping you could teach my members about both sides of the Force. As you come from a different era. Over 3600 Years of difference to be exact."
Kira: "Wait what?! 3600 Years! I uh, wow that is really long."
Rio: "Indeed it is which is why I think you might have knowledge that has been lost in one way or another. And if not then you can at least help defend the Universe from future Crisis if or when they arrive. I mean it's not every day I meet someone who has fought Valkorion and lived to tell the tale."
I feel a spike of fear from her which I am curious about.
Rio: "Is something the matter?"
Kira: "Uh, let's just say I have a long history with Valkorion and that even now I have some fear of him."
Rio: "Fair enough. I am curious did he ever get revenge on you later on in life?"
Kira: "What do you mean? We killed him."
Rio: "Well technically yes. But actually no. You killed his physical body but his spirit just reincarnated again. The only difference was that he gave up on his plans after failing several times. He instead just decided to watch the Galaxy as far as I know."
Kira: "Wait, are you telling me that we didn't finish the job?"
Rio: "I mean not necessarily. You did stop him from killing all life in the Galaxy and possibly beyond. But well honestly did you guys expect that somehow killing him for a 3rd time was going to do it? The guy cheated death and there are maybe a few ways one could kill him but they are still not guarantees. You would have to kill him in an area with no Force and then ensure his soul is bound. That is more magic and less Force-related so unless you got some Dathomirain Witches to assist not much could actually stop him."
Kira: "Sigh. That makes an annoying amount of sense and I hate it. But to answer your question, no. As far as I know, he never got revenge on me."
Rio: "Well that's good. Now are you interested in joining the Je'daii Order?"
Kira: "Sure. I have been a part of a few orders at this point so what's another?"
Rio: "Great! Follow me and I will introduce you to the rest of the order and the temple. You will be placed in class to help you acclimate to our teachings. And Welcome to the Je'daii Order."

Authors Note:
Does anyone have any ideas for how to use Thor's Hammer as a prank? I was thinking of making a fake Thor and making them cause Chaos making Thor have to get involved. The Zillo Beast's death was always sad for me. The poor thing was just trying to save the Galaxy from Sidious. Hope you enjoyed the chapter and until next time Ciao.
