Note: Due to the user's previous choice of an Iron-grade companion, the gift's third part has been unlocked. Platinum-grades are now available for this week's draw.
"It only makes sense, considering that choosing a Gold-grade would force my options to be Bronze the following week. I already theorized that this could happen, but I guess I was too pessimistic in assuming that it wouldn't happen at all."
The three options in front of him were options that his past self would salivate over.
Name: General Scott Gramm
Combat Rating: [Basic Platinum-Grade]
Description: Former General of the 4th Terran Regiment, He lived the life of a soldier until his dying breath. Aged 113, the General served as one of the best to ever do it, while barely reaching the Platinum-grade he did so during the start of the Terra's multiversal crusade. Making him a talent who had no access to the pills. It has been theorized that should he have the opportunity to consume one, reaching the peaks of Platinum would not be a pipe dream but a mere inevitability.
Contract Type: Permanent
Name: Unnamed Vetraxan Broodmother
Combat Rating: [Intermediate Platinum-Grade]
Description: A Vetraxan broodmother that lived to the age of 219, as a threat that could conquer entire planets and realities the Murim Masters and the Regiment leaders of the Terran forces worked together to take her down, along with her mother the Hive Queen. Given at least a few centuries and the sky would be the limit for this particular Vetraxan.
Warning: Vetraxan broodmothers are second only to the Hive Queen, Vetraxans are seen as some of the most powerful conquerors in the multiverse. Every reality aware of what she is, will always try to kill her where she stands.
Contract Type: Permanent
Name: Fragment of Uriel
Combat Rating: [Intermediate Platinum-Grade]
Description: A lost fragment of the Archangel of Fire, Uriel.
Warning: Demons will forever target this fragment, due to a long held grudge between this fragment of Uriel and one of the most prominent demon lords.
Contract Type: Permanent
Travis was enjoying dinner with his recruits, with Mira and Noah sitting next to him on each side.
"From potential alone, the Vetraxan broodmother can help us greatly. Vetraxans that come from a Broodmother that old, will start in the Bronze-grade and the more elite ones will start at Silver. " Noah commented after fully reading the options presented.
"Mass produced soldiers that can fix my problem in relying solely on Vantak for the manpower. The warning for that one is obvious, the last one's clearly an Angel. Their values will likely clash with my other servants. While the first one, the General seems like a talent that can be raised to the top of Platinum. Though his age will be a problem, considering our short lifespans." Travis stared at the screen while enjoying his dessert. "So the only real options are the Fragment and the Vetraxan."

"Definitely not the Angel but not for the reason you might be thinking of." Deltrax chimed in. "Co-existing with an Angel is not the problem, it's which fragment of an Archangel it is. Uriel... The Holy Fire. The moment you summon it, permanent portals from the Abyss will likely appear immediately."
"I see, then it's the Vetraxan. We can call it the second coming of Nyx." Travis immediately headed out of the tower, to the open field.
Adult Vetraxans, those without the ability to reproduce can be said to be as large as tanks. Their sizes vary based on the Broodmother or Hive Queen that spawned them but a good indicator of an adult was their size. Some could grow to be as large as mountains, this is the reason why Travis headed out in the first place.
Ever since the death of Nyx and Nersook, Travis has been researching topics regarding the Vetraxans and Clones. He wanted to be well-informed on potential recruits. He expected something large but the size, no the length of his new companion was far too much even for the island.
Ara paled in comparison to the length of the creature with a few hundred legs. The lower half of the behemoth was that of a centipede, while the upper half resembled the head of a scorpion, with two large arms with pincers the size of a bus. "Would Nyx have turned into something like you?"
The monster tilted it's head, seemingly curious about the comment.
"You should be able to understand most of my commands, so let's make this simple. Your name is Nyx, I will refer to you as Nyx. You answer to me and a few other designated commanders." Travis then motioned for Noah to come closer. "I want information on Broodmothers, it seems like we'll have to communicate with her in the same way that we do to Ara."
"Nyx, you can lay your eggs by the foot of the mountain." Travis then took out his sword. "You need my blood to make sure that they're loyal to me from birth right?"
The Vetraxan moved its head towards him, the hot breath it had reeked of rotten meat. Travis quickly sliced his hand, the red drops fell into the Vetraxan's mouth. "All right good, Mira can you get me some bandages?"
Mira nodded and ran for the nearest med-kit. "Nyx, you can settle at the mountain. Spawn as many eggs as you'd like. Noah, take out all of the corpses we had for trade."
"The Biomass that we'll need to sustain such a creature is one that I can not fathom, Master Travis." Noah looked at the moving figure of the gargantuan creature.
"Zekna could feed itself and Ara requires two corpses a day, A Vetraxan Broodmother... I guess this is why carcasses are up for sale in the trade tab." Travis looked at his newest companion with a glint in his eye. "Our trump card for the next few battles just presented itself, We'll let her get acquainted with the island for now. We strike in two days, whether they've closed the portals or not will be a non-factor. Noah, prepare some maps. We're breaching the top 100 by Tuesday and that is a promise."
