Stardragon Floating City

After they parted with the City Lord of the Stardragon Floating City, Ōtsutsuki Leiran, Yakou and Kirihara went to some of the most renowned restaurants in the city.

The Stardragon Floating City was bustling with population; countless Ōtsutsuki Clansmen and many races from the Evernight High Council were living there.

Aside from them, there were many vassal species of the Ōtsutsuki Clan living in the Stardragon Floating City or visitors that were from very powerful species from different parts of the Starveil Origin World.

"Where do you want to go?"

Yakou asked tiredly after some time because his fianceé couldn't choose one place to have their dinner; thus they were walking around the center of the city and checking out every place and restaurant on her list.

"I don't know... all the places look good, but I want to go only to the best."

Kirihara stated as she looked at him sternly; Yakou knew that this was her perfectionism taking place.

"Let's go to the Starmoon Restaurant, I like that place and it is closest to our location."

Ōtsutsuki Yakou stated that he was already tired from walking around for nothing and after Kirihara saw his expression that his patience had reached the limit, she nodded and they headed for the Starmoon Restaurant.

It was the best one in the Stardragon Floating City and rated as one of the best on the Planet Aquamarine. The exterior of the Starmoon Restaurant was in the shape of several floor-tall pagoda and was owned by someone from the Demon Species.

"Bring us to the top floor of the restaurant, VIP table."

Yakou ordered the hostess, who was from the Ōtsutsuki Branch Clan, who were typically working in these establishments. Because the Branch Clansmen had low status within the Clan, most of the menial tasks fell on them.

Especially if they wanted to obtain some resources, they needed to buy themselves at extraordinary prices from the Clan. Compared to the Main Clan, the Branch Clan was far more populous and there were tens of thousands of them.

When they were seated at the VIP table, the servants immediately started putting the food on the table, as two Ōtsutsuki Divine Lineage members were observing the Stardragon Floating City from the top floor of the pagoda restaurant.

Because the pagoda building was relatively high, it provided a beautiful view of the Stardragon Floating City.

"Do you have any plans for the near future?"

As they were eating, Kirihara asked him after she took a bite of the fish the servants brought to them.

Yakou nodded because he planned to participate in some battles on the frontline and take some missions to gather Contribution Points.

"I would be heading to the battlefield with the Automatons. I want to test my combat prowess and gather some Contribution."

Within the Ōtsutsuki Clan, even he needed the Contribution Points to exchange for some more precious resources and treasures from the Clan. Naturally, as Divine Lineage Ōtsutsuki Clansmen and grandson of the Patriarch, he had access to the best resources for free.

But even that had its limits and typically lasted until Tier 2; from then on, he would need the Contribution Points to obtain cultivation resources and other treasures he wanted.

Obviously, for Yakou completing some missions and gathering Contribution Points was nothing with his current strength. The Ōtsutsuki Clan was a place of striving and competition between the Clansmen for supremacy and status.

Only the best survived and became the peerless experts that swept through entire galaxies and decided the fate of millions of worlds.

"Automatons?..."

Ōtsutsuki Kirihara hummed because she never went to the front where the Clan clashed against the Automatons.

Aside from the front against the Faith God Alliance, only the Automatons shared the border with the Celestial Ōtsutsuki Clan and Yakou didn't wish to go there with his meager strength.

Regarding the number of high-end experts, the Automatons were clearly far behind the Faith God Alliance as they mainly depended on their overwhelming technological superiority to push the Ōtsutsuki Clan back.

"I will head to the newly found Galactic Segments in the unknown space. Right now, most parts are devoid of high-end Automaton experts, so it should be relatively safe within limits."

Because the Universe was ever expanding and ever-growing, every few tens of thousands of years, the new Galactic Segments were created and contained tens of galaxies, sometimes or sometimes even only a few.

These areas were also termed Unknown Space because it was under no one's control and thus when they appeared, a brutal fight erupted for every single galaxy as it represented resources.

Especially for the Automatons, it was a priceless treasure trove because it contained countless minerals and metals that they desperately needed to produce their overwhelming machine armies.

"When do you plan to depart?"

Kirihara questioned him because, in fact, she planned to join Yakou on the trip and travel together. In the Ōtsutsuki Clan, there was Rule of Two, that the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen always traveled in pairs.

This Rule of Two officially stemmed from the strategy of planting the God Trees, but after some millenias, the Ōtsutsuki Clan spread this Rule to the entire Clan because when it came to the God Tree Planting, it heightened the success rate.

This was not aimed at the sacrificial part, but rather, when they encountered some resistance from native civilization, it was proved that two Clansmen were able to fight the threat way better when only one of them was sent to pacify the native civilization.

"In a few years... I need to master some techniques to obtain even higher combat prowess."

Right now, Yakou was progressing very well with his Kenjutsu and soon he would obtain a certain level of mastery over the way of sword, which would increase his combat prowess tremendously.

Coupled with his Shinjutsus, he was confident to face the endless hordes of machines belonging to the Automatons.

"Then I will join you on the mission. My dad is nagging me to take up some missions to hone my martial arts further."

Kirihara's father was Head of the Martial Hall of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and was the most talented person in martial arts for the past several eras. Naturally, Kirihara inherited a lot of her father's talent in martial arts and thus was always pressured by him to continue in his legacy.

"With our power, there would be not many powerful Automatons who could threaten us."

Automatons were a peculiar civilization within the Starveil Origin World because they were not that powerful individually.

Their destructive capabilities were relatively low and they depended on their numerical superiority and devastating weapons to fight.

Usually, they would incapacitate their opponents with their numbers and traps before they would finish them with some kind of weapon. Still, the Automatons had some really powerful experts among their ranks, but their offensive prowess was lacking.
