Planet Deria

"Mother, should we go there by ship or teleportation array?"

Yakou asked because he was still deciding if he should borrow the ship from the Clan to depart for the Unknown Regions or to go by teleportation array.

Both of them had their own advantages and disadvantages respectively.

While going with the teleportation array was technically speaking safer and was many times faster than flying there by ship, if they took a ship, they would have another asset in their arsenal in case they encountered the powerful enemy.

"Take one of the warships..."

The warships of the Ōtsutsuki Clan were different from the Automaton Capital Ship that Yakou used the last time.

Even that Automaton Capital Ship was different from other Automaton Ships because it was personally retrofitted and refined by powerful Ōtsutsukis to become some sort of living artifact.

The Warships of the Ōtsutsuki Clan were powerful sentient spaceships that were developed after assimilating the knowledge of the cultivation Origin World that the Ōtsutsuki Clan conquered...

Right now, the cultivation Origin World was just a lifeless husk that would sooner or later merge into the Starveil Origin World, which would give birth to a new Cosmic Star Region that would be the spark of another huge war across the entire Starveil Origin World.

"I also think the warship would be the best option."

Unfortunately, Yakou didn't have a personal warship because they were precious and usually only Holy Lord Realm Ōtsutsuki, proficient in the Refining Artifacts and Mechanical Engineering, would be able to create one of them.

"I will talk with your father so you can get a personal warship right now; there should still be some left in the shipyards of Olympus Mons."

Hearing that, his eyes lit up in anticipation because getting a personal warship was not an easy task in the huge Ōtsutsuki Clan.

The Clan was always extremely strict when it came to resources and typically, only Holy Lord Realm Ōtsutsukis would get their personal warship automatically when they reached the Realm.

Some could get their hands on it when they were at the Saint Realm but had combat prowess comparable to the average Tier 4 being. This was because the price of each warship required a lot of resources, so they couldn't afford to give them to everyone.

In case the warship was lost to their enemy, it would be counted as a high loss.

"Thank you, mom."

Yakou thanked his mother as he found himself receiving her bear hug as she gushed over her son.

Somewhere in the Starveil Origin World, Unknown Regions of Space.

A humongous pitch-black warship exited the warp drive and arrived at the Unknown Regions of Space that appeared due to the expansion of the Starveil Origin World between the Southern Cosmic Region and Eastern Cosmic Region.

The ship was enormous, more than twenty kilometers long, armed with countless types of chakra weaponry and the best defensive capabilities the Ōtsutsuki Clan could muster.

These ships were used as weapons of war for the Ōtsutsuki Clan when they waged war on their opponents.

Because the entire warship was largely automatic due to its being one huge artifact, there was almost no crew on the ship and it was all controlled by the artifact spirit.

"We have arrived at the Planet Deria, one of the frontier Planets which is currently under siege by the Automatons. When the planet was first discovered, it was categorized as Super High-Level Planet; thus the Automatons sent a loot of Automatons of various Grades, the strongest recorded is on C-Grade."

Automatons were divided into grades based on metal alloy and materials from which their bodies were constructed.

Typically speaking, F-Grade and E-Grade Alloys could withstand the might of Tier 1 Ōtsutsuki, while D-Grade and C-Grade Alloys could withstand the might of Tier 2 Ōtsutsuki clansmen.

"Planet Deria is strategically located to one of the wormholes, allowing quick access to both Southern Cosmic Region and Eastern Cosmic Region, but because it doesn't hold anything beyond the location, the Automatons didn't send anyone particularly powerful to capture the planet."

Yakou heard Kirihara summarize the situation, as their mission from the Administration Hall was simple.

Capture the planet from the Automatons and construct a teleportation array, the planet the God Tree, and erect the Pylon.

As simple as it could get.

Yakou was wearing plated armor reminiscent of Earth's samurai armor, while Kirihara was wearing armor of a similar design.

Only Muzaka and Juraki were not wearing any kind of protection, but that was because it would only be hindering both of them.

"Where do you think would be the best spot to descent and start our advance?"

Kirihara asked, as Yakou was adept at making battle strategies.

The Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan looked at the holographic projection of the planet Deria as he scanned the landscape of the planet before he pointed at the northernmost landmass.

It was far smaller than the rest of the continents and could be barely regarded as one; because of that, it was termed as sub-continent.

The most peculiar thing about that subcontinent was that, because it was located in the most northern point of the planet, it kind of jammed the signal and the Automatons had problems operating in that area.

Aside from that, the entire subcontinent had very rocky terrain and countless mountain ranges could be used as defensive points. It was the most suitable location to build up their base.

"This one... the priority should be planting the God Tree so we could get an initial foothold. When we successfully planted the God Tree, it would force the Automatons to attack the subcontinent; we won't be leading the offensive but staying on the defensive until we deplete their forces enough to launch a counter-offensive."

Yakou presented his plans and probably the only person who appreciated the strategy was Muzaka's attendant, Juraki.

The strategy was excellent; being on the defensive would give them more leeway and with the support of the God Tree, breaching the defenses of the subcontinent would be extremely hard, primarily if it were controlled by the Divine Lineage Ōtsutsuki.

"Not to mention, this planet has extremely powerful lifeforce so that we could harvest even High-Grade Chakra Fruit."

Right now, Yakou was classified as 2nd Grade Tier 2 Ōtsutsuki; if he used his most powerful Dust Shinjutsu Techniques, he could bust apart several planets and even seriously damage Super High-Level Planet as Planet Deria to a certain degree.

"Hey Muzaka, do you want to buy High-Grade Chakra Fruit condensed from the Lifeforce of Planet?"

God Tree could absorb myriads of energies to create various variations of the Chakra Fruits and many of them were useful for other beings than the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

For example, the Dragon Chakra Fruits were very popular among the Dragon Clan when they wanted to purify their bloodlines.

"I am not falling for this second time."

The heir of the Werewolf Tribe snorted as he looked at his friend, grinning at him.
