World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1574 - 397: One-Sided Battle

Bati captured the remaining pirates from the rebellion and obtained a surprising piece of information from them.

It turns out that the reason these pirates were able to obtain such a high-level device as the Doomsday Crystal was entirely due to a council member named Heimrig.

To be precise, it was this council member who proactively approached them and handed over the weapon with destructive energy, so that these pirates could kill a person.

Radro.

"Radro?"

When Zhang Xiaoman heard this name, it felt very familiar to him, and after a brief moment of recollection, he remembered where he had heard it before.

Back when he purchased the Starfall Ship-Slicing Saber at an auction, he had seen a demonstration video in which Radro was the demonstrator.

"Exactly, Radro, the leader of the Lankdo people, and one of the Eleventh Elders of the Star Spirit Council. He has long-standing conflicts with the Saar Clan to which Heimrig belongs. Heimrig somehow got hold of the information that Radro is currently in a hidden star system attempting to break through to the Extraordinary Level in seclusion, so he gathered a large group to ambush, hoping to kill him while he had this chance."

Bati revealed the information he had, eliciting a disdainful glance from Ziwei beside him.

"Kill Radro? With just these pirates? Not that I’m looking down on them, but even equipped with such a weapon as the Doomsday Crystal, they couldn’t possibly harm an elder of the Star Spirit Council."

"No, the pirates are only one part of the plan. From the information my people extracted through interrogation, they’ve prepared a total of 9 Doomsday Crystals, each deployed in different forms in the region where Radro is. These pirates, although not notable, precisely because of that, can lower the guard of the Lankdo people, allowing their ambush to succeed."

"To think there are still 7 Doomsday Crystals... How much does that cost..."

Ziwei’s attention was instantly diverted, her bright purple eyes revealing a hint of yearning.

"Ahem... Forget it, forget it, let’s not get involved in the affairs of the Lankdo Clan and the Saar Clan... The situation over there is too complicated, getting caught up would be a hassle..."

She quickly shook her head, no longer considering the matter.

The conflict between the two sides was irrelevant to her, Ziwei.

After all, she was no longer part of the Star Spirit Council, so it didn’t matter how much they schemed.

Zhang Xiaoman, however, showed some interest in the crystals Bati mentioned. Just one crystal was already able to unleash the Purple Cloud Divine Sword to such a degree, if he could gather the other 8...

But after asking about the remaining crystals, Bati expressed his helplessness.

No relevant information was extracted, and Heimrig clearly wouldn’t divulge such crucial information to the Black Water Pirates.

Nonetheless, Zhang Xiaoman wasn’t too disappointed, as he wasn’t sure if the Purple Cloud Divine Sword could continue to be unlocked by absorbing the energy of the Doomsday Crystals.

Because based on past experience, to continue unlocking it, it seemed to require not only more energy but more advanced energy.

Otherwise, he could have simply used a large quantity of Spirit Crystals and Spirit Stones to forge a complete version of the Purple Cloud Divine Sword.

Their procurement operation on Skull Star was overall successful, as they had obtained all the key materials they needed.

Combined with the various spiritual medicines grown on Pique Star, it was enough for Zhang Xiaoman to imprint the third Star Pattern.

However, he wasn’t in a hurry to imprint it yet, as the time required for engraving the third Star Pattern is much longer than the previous two.

The engraving process alone would take about a year, not to mention the subsequent nurturing that would require at least 10 years. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Zhang Xiaoman planned to lead the group back to the First Universe and wait until everything was settled before finding a time to imprint the third Star Pattern.

Meanwhile, 5 star systems away from Pique Star, a somewhat comedic battle was unfolding.

On the morning of the third day after Zhang Xiaoman and his team left, a small interstellar pirate group spotted Pique’s little hideout through the Cosmic Probe scan.

In a flash, the pirates locked onto the planet and sped toward Pique Star at full speed.

As a Star Pattern Master, Pique cultivated a large number of spiritual medicines needed for imprinting star patterns on his own to save on material costs, which is a cost-saving approach many Star Pattern Masters choose.

Therefore, Pique had quite a bit of experience in cultivating spiritual medicines.

As a man who understands how to cultivate spiritual medicines, he certainly wouldn’t let his planet lack the Earth Orbital Flower as a defensive tool.

Consequently, Pique Star’s near-earth orbit was planted with Earth Orbital Flowers.

This planet actually didn’t lack any form of defense, and pirates would have to pay a price to attack it.

Unfortunately, due to the high cost of the Earth Orbital Flowers, Pique couldn’t afford too many and only managed to plant one each at the poles of Pique Star.

The pirate fleet comprised approximately ten ships, the largest of which was an interstellar cruiser about 1,300 meters long. Though it couldn’t compare to the Black Water Pirates, it could easily overrun a small private planet.
