Chapter 951: 939 Chapter Interstellar Pirate Chapter 951: 939 Chapter Interstellar Pirate In the boundless darkness, a massive hand of light stretched forth from afar, then obscured everything before my eyes, plunging all into endless brightness. Soon after, the violent roar of an explosion rang out, accompanied by the panic-stricken cries.

“Alright, ladies and gentlemen, this was the last segment sent back by the revered General William aboard the Glory Flagship,” someone said.

In the completely sealed conference room, a highly classified video had finished playing.

“After we received this last piece of war record footage, we lost all signal from the Glory Flagship where General William was stationed. Now, share your thoughts on this video!”

“I’d like to ask, what exactly is that hand? Some kind of forbidden weapon used by the indigenous life of Pandora World?” a councilor asked, raising my hand.

“It is not some kind of weapon, but an attack from a superpowered creature of Pandora World!”

“What superpowered creature? More powerful than a Lord-level creature?”

“Yes! Based solely on the data collected previously, we can conclude that the creature that brought down our Glory Battleship possesses strength that completely overwhelms the first Lord-level creature our forces encountered, the Mover of mountains!”

“What is an existence that completely crushes Lord-level creatures?”

“We have not gathered much information on it yet, but we refer to creatures that surpass the Lord-level as Overlords!”

“You have seen for yourselves the outcome of our army’s encounter with an Overlord, everything that has faced it directly, no matter what it was, has died.”

“I would like to ask, just how powerful is an Overlord-level creature?”

“According to some unconfirmed reports, the Glory Battleship fired its main cannon at this Overlord-level creature. Despite having it completely locked on, the cannon did not harm the Overlord-level creature in the slightest, and instead, the creature managed to bring down the battleship during the escape.”

“So, how is our army supposed to deal with this Overlord-level creature?”

“We don’t even have any particularly effective means to counter Lord-level creatures, let alone Overlord-level ones!”

“Are you suggesting that we should give up on the exploitation of energy minerals in Pandora World?” a councilor asked in a cold tone.

“What a joke, no matter how many people die, we must continue the energy exploitation of Pandora World. Once interrupted, the countdown to the demise of our world can begin.”

“I’ve already said before that military action against Pandora World was not the right approach!” Councilor Havel said angrily, “You all thought it was okay to just strike at the indigenous life of Pandora World! And now, what have you done? You’ve provoked a creature as terrifying as a god!”

“Councilor Havel, please calm down. This creature indeed is powerful, but it is certainly not a god! It might withstand the bombardment of the Glory Battleship, but that doesn’t mean it can withstand the other weapons of our civilization!”

“We absolutely cannot use those things!” a white-haired, aged general immediately objected, “Even if using those things resulted in killing these creatures, what good would that do? Our goal is to conquer Pandora World, not destroy it. We need the resources of Pandora World!”

“I’m merely suggesting a possibility. We do have our own trump cards against those monsters, capable of killing them at any time, it just depends on whether we want to or not!”

“We could have peacefully obtained the resources of Pandora World, but now look at you all, trying to seize more, and you’ve messed everything up!

All the friendly relations the Forward Base built up with the surrounding tribes over the past three years have gone to waste in an instant. From this moment on, all the tribes will become our sworn enemies!”

“Havel, we’ll take your rebukes; the outcome has indeed proven that we were in the wrong. But can your rebukes solve the problem? What we should do now is calm down and unite to find a way to solve the issue!”

“Since the Forward Base has been destroyed, if we wish to continue mining resources in Pandora World, we must resort to some special methods!”

“What methods?”

“Like the pirates of our world two thousand years ago, riding the fastest ships, raiding coastal ports, leaving the government forces helpless!”

“You mean to suggest our army become pirates in Pandora World? Is this your bright idea? It’s utterly laughable!”

“If not that, what can we do?”

“I say, have we fallen into a cognitive trap? Our military actions seem to have only offended creatures in a small area of Pandora World, right? The creatures from other areas don’t seem to be aware of our acts!”

“In other words, you mean to say, we exchange one area for another and then continue the behavior we exhibited before?”

“Exactly, it has been proven that the indigenous life of Pandora World is extremely interested in the products we manufacture on our assembly line. This time, we will resolutely use peaceful means to acquire resources!”

“If the second transaction can proceed smoothly, I suggest we open up more bases for trading with the indigenous people of Pandora World!”

“That’s an excellent suggestion, I think it’s good. Let’s now proceed to a vote!” The highest presiding councilor agreed with the suggestions the councilor made and then began the voting process.

…

“King Uhl, how should we deal with these tribe members whose homes have been destroyed?”

Atop a mountain peak, a Phantom Knight lay prostrate at Muria’s feet with his mount, his demeanor filled with fervor as he respectfully inquired.

He could see, at the edge of the mountains, a huge metallic wreckage spewing black smoke, allowing one to imagine the grand and magnificent state of the wreck before its distortion and shattering.

And at its twisted and shattered parts, a massive handprint was clearly visible. This colossal artificial creation, once afloat in the air, had been crushed by the hand of a powerful being, and at this moment, that being was standing before him.

“Relocate them all to Yunjian Peak! Tell them it is the will of the Divine Tree! The Divine Tree will bless them. And you will escort them there. Thank you for your efforts.”

With a light and casual tone, Muria decided the fate of the surviving Yi Kong People in this area. To stabilize their emotions, he made up the Divine Tree’s will without any guilt!

“Your Majesty King Uhl, we’re already deeply sorry for not being able to help in the previous war. Just providing an escort is merely a waste of time for us!”

The Phantom Knight kneeling on one knee lowered his head to the ground, truly regretful that he had missed the recently concluded grand and tumultuous battle.

“No need for self-reproach, your strength is still too weak. Facing those exotic people’s battleships directly, your abilities are insufficient. You need stronger power,” Muria said calmly, assessing the current state of the Phantom Knights. These Baghda riders could easily down aerial fighters from Earth Star Civilization, but when faced with conventional battleships measuring tens to hundreds of meters, they were clearly outmatched.

So, when Muria received a warning from the Divine Tree, he only took Mesha with him, without his riders; he was, after all, reluctant to have the knights he had trained clash head-on with those vast steel creations.

“We will endeavor to cultivate our strength!” The Phantom Knight said, somewhat embarrassed, upon hearing Muria’s words.

…Following Muria’s successful repulsion of the first invasion from Earth Star Civilization, his fame spread for the first time beyond the great forests of Ayalae.

In this war, he became the biggest beneficiary. Firstly, the number of Yi Kong People residing within Yunjian Peak reached an unprecedented thirty thousand.

However, two-thirds of the Yi Kong People were survivors of the war, harboring intense hatred towards the Earth Star Humans and infinite admiration for Muria and his mount, the Dirty Meow King.

At the same time, the world relaxed its suppression of Muria’s true self further, and so Muria began to unleash his Bloodline’s corrupting power to transform the ecosystem of Yunjian Peak, leaving his unique mark in this world.

However, this transformation was subtle and gradual, requiring time to manifest visible results, a luxury Muria still had. He believed his latest act would be enough to deter the Earth Star Humans from using military force against this world for a good while.

…Three months after the war’s end
Under the escort of a Phantom Knight, Doctor Allen, appearing ever more youthful, entered a grand and imposing palace and bowed before the exalted being seated high within.

“I pay homage to the great His Majesty King Uhl!”

“Hmm, Allen, how goes your teaching of my kin these past days? If there’s anything unsatisfactory, you may speak freely, don’t hold back,”
“Well, Your Majesty, as you know, because of the war, your people have an extreme aversion to us humans!” Allen replied without holding back, expressing the frustrations she had faced in recent times.

She sugarcoated her language a bit, knowing full well that the Yi Kong People of Yunjian Peak did more than just avoid them; if not for the awe of Muria’s reputation, her group would have been killed to the last.

“These past days have been hard on you!” Muria, fully aware of the predicaments faced by these forcibly invited human teachers, nodded in understanding. “However, now I have a task for you, I’m afraid I must ask you to endure a bit longer.”
