Inside the spaceship, Astrum was in discussion with Thea.
"Astrum, how did you get into the beak clan?"
"Oh, I'm using the pyramid"
"Pyramid?"
"Yeah, when I studied the glyphs in the underground barrier room, I found clues that the pyramids were connected. Then I tested what I learned through the pyramids in the Lon Clan."
"Ah! Why did you hide this from us?" Thea grumbled.
"I'm not in the mood to hide it, I tested and it worked. After all, I have business with Anggul, so I go first. Isn't this a pleasant surprise anyway?" Astrum replied casually.
"By the way, do you feel regrets?"
"Regret? What for? Slaughter the beak clan?"
"No, I also think that they deserve it. I mean, you let them go. Aren't you afraid that they will take revenge?"
"Let it be if one day they are stronger than me it means they deserve to take revenge. And if that happens it's my fault because I'm weak."
"Good! You have a brave soul."
"By the way, Thea, there's something I want to ask you."
"Hoho, you still need me?" Thea asked in a teasing tone.
"It's about the insignia from my parents, I already got the contract from the insignia from my parents."
Astrum shows two lizard-shaped insignia on his left arm.
"Oh! Amazing, you got the Star Set!"
"Start Set?"
"The star Beast is not singular, they have a series called the Star Set or constellation."
"What does it mean?"
"Star set is a collection of stars that have the same star source. Star sources are the core of star power, and many star sources take various forms. When all the parts are successfully put together then the true power can only be shown."
Then Thea told her about the history of the stars.
At first, the universe was pitch black. Then there was a very powerful cosmic explosion. The cosmic explosion changed the entire universe. No one knows how the explosion came about, after all, it started before living things existed in the universe. The cosmic explosion turned into a single, very large light; the light is known as a galaxy core.
The Galaxy core exploded violently and spewed cosmic shards throughout the universe. At that time the situation was very chaotic, galaxy core spewed 6 cosmic energies with different light.
The six cosmic lights scattered throughout the universe, releasing their cosmic energy and creating stars. After millions of years, life forms began to form. The stars fused with the existing life forms and became the Starian and Star Beast.
Long ago, the star beasts were so powerful, they dominated the galaxy with their ferocity. Until one day the Starian race began to fight back, they all joined forces to fight the Star Beasts.
After a million years of fighting, the Star Beasts were finally defeated. Star Beasts cannot die, because every time they die, they will be reincarnated. It is also the same with the Starian Race.
Eventually one of the current leaders of the Starian race split the Star Beast into several pieces. Star Beasts stay alive only imperfectly. The parts of the Star Beast are scattered throughout the galaxy so that they cannot be reunited.
"Wow! You mean if all the parts of the Star beasts are put together it will be even stronger?"
"Of course. Even though your Star beast has obtained a complete evolution, it only shows a little of its true strength."
Astrum looked at the insignia in his left hand with admiration, but he had doubts.
"If those Star Beasts manage to reunite their entire body, won't they be fighting the Starian race again?"
"The Starian race has thought of this when they split the star beasts into pieces, the strength of the star beasts becomes very weak. Every part of the Star Beast requires a contract to become stronger. And each scattered piece will seek its contract. That way it will be very difficult for them to reunite."
"After all, that Star Beast can't reach its full potential before all of its pieces are gathered."
"Oh, the Starian Race is clever! But I plan to collect all the Star Beast parts, is that okay with you?"
"Not all Starian are enemies with Star Beasts, we Green Starans think that Star Beasts can be made as friends."
"Good." Astrum became more and more excited to collect all the Star Beast parts he had.
But Thea poured cold water on Astrum's spirit.
"But it is very difficult to collect the entire star set."
"Why?"
"Besides it's difficult to find other parts, another thing is if the star parts have been contracted by other insignias."
"Ah then it's easy, just take the contract from them."
-Plak- Thea hit Astrum's head.
"Hey, why did you hit me!"
"Stupid! Not all Insignia are bad. Star beasts choose their users for a reason. If the user is worthy and has a good cause, will you take the contract away?"
"Ah.." Astrum just woke up when he heard Thea's explanation. It is illogical to snatch contracts from worthy users. Although he is a brutal person, killing opponents without thinking, he also has kindness. He cannot rob good people.
"Focus on retaining and improving what you already have!"
"Okay. By the way, usually how much is the total part of the Star Set?"
"Hm.. at least it's 5 and at most 9 parts."
"What! 9 parts?"
"The more parts it means greater power."
"Do you know how many parts this insignia has?"
"Based on the shape of this insignia, it's most likely 5 parts."
"7! Ah! That means i must find five others!"
"By the way, Thea how did you know that this insignia is a star set?"
"When two insignia come together like that it signifies, they are related."
***
They landed the spaceship in a forest that was 10 kilometers from the green city. Thea used her ability to hide the three spaceships.
Currently, they brought two of Zax's aides and 100 of Zax's troops. More than 100 zax troops were killed in the beak clan house. Aun arranges to tie up Zax's troops who are captured in the middle of the forest. He didn't take them underground to prevent Zax's troops from knowing their location.
After they returned underground, Astrum kept his promise to perform Beast baptisms on the Lon clan brought from their home. The process took a full day.
Astrum was in no hurry to attack Green City. He organizes training for the new insignia Beastros and Green Leaf troops. He decided to train them to guarantee victory in the next attack.
One of the drawbacks of the Beastros was that they had not been able to manifest star power. Manifestation is the ability to make their insignia take the form of Star Beasts. Right now, they can only use star power to increase their physical attack and use their natural skills.
Like the horn, the clan had a natural skill to absorb a shot of star energy and the Lon clan had a natural skill to disappear.
Thea explained that the current Beastros had not been able to manifest their star power as their control abilities were still weak. The current Beasros race was different from the Ancient Beastros race. The Beastros Race was currently at the middle evolution, not the peak. They still need quite a long time to reach peak evolution.
After a few days, He went into the main room. There were already Milosh, Lander, Aun, and Thea.
"Captain Aun, how is the situation in the green city?"
"Master Astrum, currently Zax's army is strengthening the defense of the green city."
"Alright, we will start the attack! This is the strategy we will use."
Astrum began to explain the strategy to be used for the next attack. Currently, their strength increased a lot after successfully saving the horn clan. Coupled with the new insignias from the green leaf squad.
Their main focus right now was to save the Green Leaf troops who were still being held captive in Green City. The troublesome thing was that they were all planted with soul leeches.
The strategy that will be used is to expel the tiger from the mountain. They will lure Zax's army out of the green city and seize the opportunity to save the prisoners.
"How do we lure them out of town?" Landers asked.
"Let's just use the prisoner as bait," Aun answered.
"Of course, we can use them as bait. But we also don't know if Zax will take the bait." Milosh gave an opinion.
"That's right, we can't be sure Zax will take the bait. We'll use bigger bait." Astrum this time answered.
"Bigger bait?"
"We will use materials to lure them out. Zax is a greedy person, he can't possibly give up the material."
"Currently Zax only has 3 adjutants left, that way he can mobilize his troops. If he doesn't have any Adjutant left then he probably won't come out."
Aun just realized Astrum's strategy when he let two of Zax's adjutants escape from the beak clan. If he rushed to catch them then Zax would most likely stay in the city.
***
In the mansion at Green City. The large room became so empty, there were only 4 people in the main room. Zax's face was very ugly with the current situation. His troops had been drastically reduced, his materials were stolen, and he had lost several prisoners.
All of Zax's adjutants lowered their heads and fell silent, they didn't dare to make a sound. Their failures smeared their faces.
"Damn it! Why is it difficult like this! That bastard!" Zax cursed Astrum for thwarting his plans.
"Folux how is the soul leech production!"
"Commander, in one day we will get a new supply of leeches. But for the next production, we need material crystals."
"Stop using material crystals, I need them for other things."
Suddenly, someone knocked loudly on the door.
"Enter!"
The person entered with a panicked face and said "Commander, the enemy troops are outside the city."
"What! They are so brave! Are the prisoners already usable?"
The meaning of Zax's question was the prisoners who had been given soul leeches.
"Sorry commander, we need a new liquid material to control them."
"Damn it! You all go take care of them!"
