Aftermath and Gains

After the preliminary healing and eating of the Chakra Fruit, Yakou was in a state where he could fly and teleport once again, as most of his injuries, especially the most grievous ones, were already slowly healing.

Fortunately, Yakou had a few Low-Grade Chakra Fruits.

These were given to him by his mother in case he was severely injured, like this time. With single Low-Grade Chakra Fruit, Yakou was able to regain enough Chakra for his tremendous regeneration to kick in and heal in record time.

Even the Low-Grade Chakra Fruit was priced at around a million Cosmic Crystals across the Starveil Origin World and the price was even higher according to what Yakou heard when some of the powerful Elders sold them to the stronger Origin World.

Coupled with Muzaka's healing techniques, after twenty minutes, he was out of any danger and his state was stable. Even though his healing techniques were not something very special and Muzaka wasn't proficient with them, it still did a great job.

Manipulation of Life Force often proved to be one of the best methods of self-healing or healing others, even though it was one of the most basic healing methods.

Obviously, he would need at least a few days to heal completely, but at least now, his injuries were not worsening.

"Come on; we can return back to the God Tree... I will send puppets to pick up these scraps."

Right now, Yakou planned to rest and recuperate completely while sending puppets to clear out the straps that had remained from the Automatons. He was sure that after the loss of Commander Automatons, several ships filled tens of thousands of Automatons.

Not to mention, this planet wasn't that precious to the Automatons to the point where they would be sending here more and more Automatons.

Even though these losses may sound meager to the Automatons, they were actually huge, considering what they could gain.

Assuming the fact that the Ōtsutsukis were pushing the front and conquering one Star Cluster after another, they had more pressing problems.

Yakou knew that Clan already started sending even some Holy Lords to the depths of the Unknown Regions.

Unnamed Subcontinent, Planet Deria, God Tree Sapling

When Yakou returned to the unnamed subcontinent together with Muzaka, he was welcomed by a Kirihara bear hugging, which was already worried about him.

Evidently, she was watching everything through her Senrinjōnegan and saw how he was fighting against Commander Automaton.

Kirihara didn't say anything as she started wordlessly tending to his injuries.

With her Tensei-Sharingan, she saw that his Chakra Pathways were a mess, injured from overusing his Chakra and if not for the Low-Grade Chakra Fruit, he would be facing severe Chakra Exhaustion.

"You look terrible, but with this, you should be healed within a few days."

Kirihara said as she finished applying medicine to his wounds. While she was having a hard time of expressing it, even Yakou noticed that she was worried about his well-being, which made him smile lightly.

"Thanks for your help."

Yakou thanked her as she huffed before he sat cross-legged down below the God Tree sapling, which was close to blooming and becoming a full-fledged God Tree.

As he looked at the towering form of the God Tree, he calculated that it would need a few more years to grow fully and then this planet would be theirs.

It seemed that the germination time of the God Tree was lower than he initially expected, but right now, after the main dangers were dealt with, it didn't matter.

After Yakou activated his third eye a few times, he didn't sense any danger for the incoming years, so everything was okay. Then he sat cross-legged below the God Tree as he let nature take its course because his self-healing factor was already working at 110%.

Meanwhile, Yakou was healing from the injuries; his other three companions stood on guard in case something happened, just to be sure. Ōtsutsuki Kirihara was occasionally checking on him to see if he was healing properly and not accumulating any hidden injuries.

He was also fed with several types of different medicine, some of which were pretty precious even to them, but due to overusing his Chakra, he injured his Chakra Network and Chakra Coils, which could have disastrous aftermath if not healed properly.

***

As he predicted, within several days, Yakou healed to 100% and he was going through the spoils of war together with Kirihara. They managed to gather a lot of things after the Automatons and all of them were worth a lot of Cosmic Crystals.

When he returned several days ago to the God Tree, he ordered the artifact spirit of the warship to dispatch the puppets to clean out the debris after the Automatons, collect everything so nothing would remain there.

And it paid off because they managed to gather things worth millions of Cosmic Crystals; this was a staggering number for the ordinary person in the Starveil Origin World. Truth to be told, this would be an extraordinary amount even for powerful Saint Realm Cultivators.

Just the remains of the Automaton ship that was not destroyed by his Dust Release was worth of more than 2 million Cosmic Crystals.

Not talking about tens of thousands of Automaton bodies ranging from F-Grade to C-Grade, which were worth another 1 million Cosmic Crystals, mainly due to their sheer number.

With other things, they managed to gather things worth of 3,5 million Cosmic Crystals, which were divided 70:30 between Yakou and Muzaka.

As Yakou destroyed most of the things and defeated Commander Automaton, he took things of approximately worth of 2,450,000 Cosmic Crystals.

There was also a fact that Muzaka wasn't interested in taking a larger part of the loot, despite his attendant's remark about the situation. In the end, this results in rightful concerns of Juraki about the future of the Werewolf Tribe.

While for now, they would be useless to him at large, later, when he would go to the Origin Worlds that maintained some trade and relationship with the Ōtsutsuki Clan, he would have some money to pay for things.

Though he knew that sooner or later, he would need a tremendous amount of cultivation resources in the later stages and the Clan was providing only that much, so the rest laid on his own shoulders.

Either through the money he gathered or by completing the missions issued by the Clan.

All that being said, Yakou was pretty much satisfied with the end of the Automaton's attempts to take the planet Deria.

Even though he almost died from the self-destruction of Commander Automaton if not for his fast reaction.
