Since it was about the Fla-Reaver, Derick saw no reason to leave. He first went to a corner, carefully set down the Maverick he was holding, then returned to stand beside Jing Yuan, awaiting Topaz's arrival.
Not long after, Yukong arrived, escorting Topaz.
Derick's gaze fell upon Topaz. Her figure was even more ample than Cipher's. Her full, fleshy legs were particularly striking, emphasizing her curvaceous figure. As she walked, the inner sides of her thighs brushed against each other, causing her flesh to gently jiggle, revealing a tempting softness and bounce.
Topaz slowly walked over, and upon seeing Jing Yuan, imdiately cupped her hands in greeting.
"Greetings, Divine Foresight General," she said respectfully.
After speaking, Topaz raised her head to look at Jing Yuan. At the sa ti, she noticed Derick and Fu Xuan standing beside Jing Yuan.
During this period, she had made sure to investigate Derick thoroughly. According to the Interastral Peace Corporation's intelligence, she had uncovered his every move since eting Heaven-Shattering General.
From being General Feixiao's student to single-handedly defeating the Lord of Destruction, Derick's every movent had been nothing short of legend.
Therefore, Topaz concluded that such a person should be befriended. She even considered that, in the future, he might inherit General Feixiao's position and beco the next General of the Change 'Xianzhou Yaoqing' to 'Xianzhou Yaoqing' when referring to Feixiao's flagship..
Feixiao was considerably younger than Jing Yuan, but Foxians typically succumb to the Mara-Struck state much earlier than Xianzhou people. At Feixiao's age, it was indeed ti to consider a successor.
As for Derick not being a native-born Xianzhou local. Putting aside that Feixiao herself was once a Bu Li Ren war slave, and thus not a native of the Xianzhou. The sheer blessing of the Hunt Stellaron made Derick's Xianzhou identity as pure as could be.
It was just that Derick claid to be from Amphoreus. And this place na, she hadn't found in the Interastral Peace Corporation's database.
And the maps in the Interastral Peace Corporation's database, they contained records of all places that Akivili had explored.
If it wasn't on there, it proved that Amphoreus was a place even Akivili had never reached.
Interesting.
As a mber of the Market Developnt Departnt, Topaz's first thought upon hearing the na was that this was a promising market, a true blue ocean opportunity. If Amphoreus could be integrated into the Interastral Peace Corporation's market system, it would undoubtedly be a very substantial business venture.
The value of Amphoreus was certainly not low. Even setting aside Derick as an anomaly, the Amphoreus natives accompanying him were not weak. Their demonstrated offensive power was almost strong enough for a single individual to wipe out all civilization on a planet.
Such power also represented the inherent value of Amphoreus itself.
Topaz glanced at Derick, her mind already racing with ideas on how to develop the market.
Derick was unaware of Topaz's thoughts. He rely looked at her, eager to hear any news about the Incineration Fiend.
Jing Yuan spoke to Topaz: "Miss Topaz, I have already been briefed by Yukong regarding your purpose here. And to a certain extent, that Fla-Reaver is also an enemy of the Xianzhou."
"Huh? Fla-Reaver? Is that his na?" Topaz asked, puzzled.
"Yes, the Fla-Reaver." Jing Yuan extended a hand, pointing at Derick: "That Fla-Reaver and Derick are from the sa place. He can introduce you to the intelligence we have on him."
"He's from the sa place as you, Mr. Derick? Is he also from Amphoreus?" Topaz asked Derick, curiosity piqued.
"Yes, he's also from Amphoreus. Back on Amphoreus, he and I had fought multiple tis. From a strength perspective, he was even above ." Derick nodded.
"Even stronger than you, Mr. Derick..."
Topaz thought back to her encounter with the Fla-Reaver that day and nodded involuntarily.
The Fla-Reaver was incredibly fast, not even allowing her a chance to pull out her Topaz Stone and transform. Her subordinates, who had accompanied her on debt collection missions for years, were considered elite forces of the Interastral Peace Corporation. Yet, these formidable forces were swiftly neutralized by the Fla-Reaver, without even a chance to resist.
Derick continued, adding: "What's more, a number of demonic swords have appeared around him, and his strength could further increase. If we don't deal with him soon, he could cause even more harm."
"Yes, I think so too."
Topaz expressed her strong agreent.
This was also why she had co to the Xianzhou.
Frankly, if it were other mbers of the Interastral Peace Corporation, they would most likely withdraw imdiately upon seeing such a situation. The Interastral Peace Corporation was only slightly better than the Abundance Aberrations and the Antimatter Legion when it ca to their inhumanity. What was the Fla-Reaver's destruction compared to?
The Antimatter Legion's destruction of planets and the flesh consud by the Abundance Aberrations — weren't those far more destructive than anything this Fla-Reaver has done?
Only Topaz still retained so kindness in her heart, wishing to collaborate with the Xianzhou to deal with the Fla-Reaver.
As they were speaking, Fu Xuan's image appeared.
"Fu Xuan, what are your calculations?" Upon seeing Fu Xuan appear, Jing Yuan imdiately asked her.
"General, based on the intelligence recently provided by Miss Topaz, and after deductions from the Matrix of Prescience, the Incineration Fiend's likely path of advance should be this..."
As Fu Xuan spoke, a star map appeared in her hand. On the map, a line was marked.
Looking at the path on the star map, Jing Yuan considered it carefully and said: "Hmm, this route looks similar to the advance path of the Xianzhou Luofu. However, there are still so differences. Helm Master Yukong—"
"General, I'm here." Yukong stepped forward, awaiting Jing Yuan's orders.
"Go prepare the Stelle Lou. For this operation, it's best to keep a good distance from the Xianzhou Luofu. This way, we can also prevent the Fla-Reaver from ambushing the Xianzhou Luofu and causing unnecessary losses."
"Understood." Yukong nodded.
Jing Yuan then looked at Derick and said: "For this operation, Derick, you will serve as the frontline commander. All necessary personnel and assistance are at your command. My only demand is that you eliminate this Fla-Reaver who poses such a threat. Even if you cannot kill him, you must bring him back and imprison him in Youqiu Prison. Can you complete this mission?"
Considering that the Fla-Reaver also possessed immortal properties, Jing Yuan didn't demand a kill. If he couldn't be killed, then he should be brought back and imprisoned.
The Xianzhou Alliance is quite adept at imprisoning such immortal beings.
"Understood."
Derick imdiately affird.
Topaz, listening from the side, spoke up: "General Jing Yuan, I would also like to join you in seeking out that individual. Our Interastral Peace Corporation has also suffered significant losses at his hands; I intend to seek retribution."
"Indeed, we naturally welco your assistance."
For soone of Jing Yuan's caliber and experience, the fact that the Ten Stonehearts of the Interastral Peace Corporation could transform was no great secret.
Topaz joining Derick could be said to bring a trendous boost to the battle.
Hearing Jing Yuan's agreent, Topaz imdiately stepped forward and extended her hand to Derick.
"Mr. Derick, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
"The pleasure is mine, Miss Topaz." Facing Topaz's gesture of goodwill, Derick naturally responded politely.
Leaving the Divine Foresight General's Residence, Derick imdiately began preparations to deal with the Fla-Reaver.
The most important thing was the personnel selection.
Castorice, Polyxia, and others would definitely be brought along. These individuals had all left Amphoreus because of the Fla-Reaver; now that they were going to eliminate him, Derick naturally had to bring them along.
And Yunli, she was going to get a demonic sword. If Derick didn't let her go, she would probably cling to the Stelle Lou and follow along anyway.
As for the mbers of the Astral Express, he'd try to rope in a few if he could.
As for others, Derick primarily planned to bring personnel for reconnaissance and piloting the Stelle Lou. As for combat personnel, Derick still did not intend to bring any.
The Fla-Reaver's combat power was too high; those with insufficient strength would easily suffer casualties and would not be of much use.
For this battle, with himself, the transford Topaz, Uncle Yang, and even Dan Heng, who might transform into Imbibitor Lunae, as a fallback, the combat strength was already sufficient.
Bringing more would only necessitate bringing General Jing Yuan himself.
That would be making a mountain out of a molehill.
Derick went to notify them.
However, as he went to notify them, his right eye twitched slightly.
Sothing had occurred at one of his clone's locations.
Derick quickly shifted his right eye's vision there.
And after adjusting, he found that the clone experiencing the situation was his Fourth Clone, the one accompanying Boothill.
The Fourth Clone itself had no problems; it was Boothill who was in trouble.
Their spaceship had landed on a planet littered with ruins. Derick looked around, and realized that the civilization's technological level on this planet was probably similar to Earth's, though most of it was now destroyed.
In the city, countless citizens were frantically fleeing, rendered holess. Gunshots echoed through the city, and from the power and sound of these gunshots, Derick deduced they were Boothill's.
He was in combat.
Derick imdiately controlled his Fourth Clone to go over, just in ti to see Boothill fall out of a skyscraper several dozen stories high, his body plumting downwards in freefall.
The Fourth Clone quickly rushed forward, and by the ti Boothill fell, it just happened to reach out and catch him.
Feeling his body being caught, Boothill turned his head to see it was Derick's Fourth Clone.
"Friend, thanks a bunch. Damn it, that enemy is quite strong. Later, could you lend a hand, buddy?" Boothill said to Derick's Fourth Clone.
Derick's Fourth Clone couldn't speak. It simply set Boothill down and then silently adopted a combat stance.
And when the enemy appeared from the building, Derick (through his clone) and the enemy on the floor above exchanged glances, both wary.
It was the Fla-Reaver!
Derick exclaid in his mind.
And the Fla-Reaver, looking down from the top of the skyscraper at Derick's Fourth Clone, also paused.
How was this guy so persistent? Why was he even here?
Kill!
The Fla-Reaver's mind was filled with killing intent. He reached out, grabbed a demonic sword, and plunged downwards. And a dozen more demonic swords followed him down.
