Point Spending

Zeta happily patted Nezuko's head while thinking on what he should spend his 6,000 points on.

Before even deciding on what to buy, he needed to figure out what ratio he'd spend right now, and what he'd spend on the miners and refineries back on Mars.

He wanted to increase his income by a lot, so he'd want to dedicate a majority of the points to the miners, but at the same time, he might come to regret it if he's too weak to defend himself in the future.

Therefore, Zeta came to the conclusion to dedicate 75% of the points to re-investing into more point production while using the leftover 25% to spend on new goodies.

A fully upgraded miner costs 400 points in the system. Zeta has 6,672 points. Rounding down, three quarters of 6,600 is about 5,000. 5,000 / 400 = 12 and some change. Therefore, Zeta can fully upgrade 12 miners with the points he's put aside.

That means that Zeta is left with 1,872 points after buying all the miners.

This opens up a large catalogue of what Zeta could purchase.

More Callidus Assassins in order to rule the world? Invest more into the Imperium forms and get closer to becoming Sanguinnius? Invest more into forms he currently doesn't have a use for?

There were many options.

(A.N. Before we continue, please note that I don't make perfect decisions and I don't have a perfect understanding of every faction's abilities. So I made the best decisions my brain could come up with. Feel free to talk about what decisions you'd make though.)

To begin with, Tyrannid forms wouldn't serve Zeta very well in his current environment. They are killing machines that strive on ravaging planets and collecting biomass. Until he starts a war, Tyrannids won't be getting much love.

The Eldar are a special case, Zeta heavily considered getting more forms for the Eldars, for the simple fact that he'll probably need another identity to hide behind, but until that time came, he decided to hold off on the Eldari.

And then, Zeta thought of Necron forms. He was currently using the Necron forms in order to survive attacks and influence the plot in various different ways. Unfortunately, after the incident at the amusement park, his cover is almost certainly blown by S.H.I.E.L.D. at the very least if they didn't know from stalking him.

Getting a better Necron form would definitely benefit Zeta, but so would a bolter and some ammo.

Even after a couple of hours of thinking, Zeta hadn't made a decision. He had a clear objective for what he wanted before this point, but as soon as he was given so many points, he no longer can make decisions without second guessing himself.

He heavily considered acquiring the Canoptek Reanimator form for its faster regeneration abilities. However, he then realized he could just buy a troop version of one anyway.

For now, he decided to simply wait and save up. Should he need a form later, he can buy it, however, if he was patient and bided his time...

[C'tan Shard - 25,000]

And to think a trancended C'tan Shard would be up to hundreds of normal shards... Zeta knew he would need to re-invest a lot of his income into more miners.

At least there are more affordable forms should the need arise.

[Grey Knight - 2,000]

[Librarian - 1,000]

As attractive as mastery of the warp while in the Librarian form was, Zeta decided to abstain for now. He was able to train his abilities of the warp at the moment anyway, he'd rather not spend points on it unless he was required to.

However, there was something that Zeta planned to buy immediately;

[Companion Slot 2 - 500]

[Companion Slot 3 - 1000]

[Companion Slot 2 Bought!]

[Balance: 6,172]

Now he had to think about who he's summon next.

Zeta decided that it would have to be someone that belonged to the Imperium of Man. Not only would M'Shen work best with someone else of the same faction, but Zeta intended to start creating his army on Mars out of soldiers hailing from humanity.

It was the best army to start of because of the simple fact that if he started a war on Earth, other countries that don't know of Zeta's existience will think of it as a new country emerging.

He didn't need to be seen as a threat to humanity, not yet at least. He didn't want a reason to exterminatus the planet he grew up on.

Nevertheless, this limitation, added with the fact that he wasn't going to be summoning men any time soon, meant that the potential companions he was able to summon would be limited.

He was led to three women with very different professions; Katarinya Greyfax, Lotara Sarrin and Saint Celestine. To begin with, he excluded Lotara Sarrin immediately. Without the funding to even build a fleet as well as an army, her talents wouldn't be fully realized, not to mention how difficult it'd be to change her alliance from Angron to him.

She'd be summoned another time.

He was then left with two extremely religious zealots. The only problem was which one should Zeta take? Saint Celestine immediately came to mind, she was powerful, could aid in training his psyker abilities and was hot. He hadn't heard much about her personality, but it shouldn't be too difficult to convince her if he used a miner to produce Battle Sisters that could pray with her.

The main problem with Katarinya was that she killed all that she deemed to be heretics. With a planet full of 'heretics', he'd be forced to leave her on Mars, or convert her.

As Zeta didn't know Saint Celestine's power, it'd be a gamble, but he was confident in his abilities to convince her, even without M'Shen.

However, before he locked it in...

'System, I want The Emperor of Man-Kind as my companion.' He told the system mentally. If he could get a legitimate God on his side, it'd offset the loss of another partner.

[Error! Cannot summon Primarch-Level beings and above as a companion!]

'Unfortunate.' Zeta wasn't disappointed, he didn't expect to be able to summon people that strong in the first place.

"I'll be gone until the evening." Zeta informed Nezuko and Felicia.

"Why's that?" Felicia asked as Nezuko gripped his shirt, not wanting him to leave.

"I need to pop by Mars for a second. I have some more things to set up." Zeta gave Felicia a long kiss and another to Nezuko's forehead before waving and leaving the house.

Thankfully, with the new upgrade to the ship, it only takes 90 minutes in order to get from Earth to Mars.

(A.N. I understand that it'll change depending on how far away the two planets are, but its easier to write if I provide a flat time frame.)

Zeta set up the new miners, spending 4,800 points in only a second and decided on what to produce for some of the miners.

As much as he'd like to rely on an army of only cute battle sisters, the spectacle they create would catch a lot of eyes during wars. He planned to mainly use them to convince Saint Celestine of his 'pure' intentions and maybe use them in high-scale wars against other planets should the need arise.

He'd dedicate 1 miner each to the creation of Astra Militarum (Cadians), the Battle Sisters and Adeptus Mechanicus (In order to build things).

Zeta was going to go with some of the Death Korps of Krieg, but they weren't as cost-efficient as Cadians.

Afterwards, he dedicated 3 miners to the construction of materials that the Adeptus Mechanicus could use to build weapons, armor and buildings.

After using the remaining miners to produce points, an additional 250 points were being created per day. That meant that Zeta's current daily point production was 320.

The reason he wasn't producing 300 instead of the 250 he is currently, is because he dedicated one last miner to producing daily necessities such as food, water and oxygen.

Don't ask how it works.

Nevertheless, the second he finished assigning all of the miners, the first Astra Militarum was produced.

A woman in basic Imperium military fatigues came out of the miner with blank eyes. It was obvious that she didn't have a soul.

"Come here." Zeta ordered. The lone soldier walked to her new master. He wasn't able to experiment much with the Callidus Assassin he sent to replace M'Shen so this was the best opportunity.

To begin with, he pointed a Laspistol at her skull, she didn't flinch. He scratched her forearm, making her bleed, she didn't flinch. He began inspecting her body, checking her teeth, white as pearls and her eyes, unwavering despite the direct eye contact with Zeta.

Of course, Zeta couldn't supress his perverted nature for long. He took a seat and began massaging her ass which was surpringly thick. To his surprise, in response to him feeling her up, she calmly unbuckled her belt and got rid of her pants and underwear, revealing a clean-shaven pussy.

Despite his perverted antics, he wasn't going to fuck her, he had better things to do at the moment. He walked away and she put her clothes back on.
