Jashin Faction

After the other [Otsutsuki Demigods] had left and the unnecessary subordinates had been sent away, Otsutsuki Meishiki finally let herself loose.

She immediately grabbed Natsume and demanded:

"So this was your plan?"

"To seize command of the [Second Court]?"

"What use is having so many lowly slaves?"

"Those who set out to explore first will inevitably occupy all the resource-rich regions!"

"By then, even if we have more slaves, we'll only be able to excavate those resource-poor areas. We won't make much profit at all..."

The more Meishiki spoke, the more agitated she became.

She wore the expression of someone demanding, 'I've been treating you so well all this time, and this is how you repay me?'

Natsume soothed her.

"Don't panic."

"You only see them eating meat, not getting beaten."

"Those regions they've occupied may be rich in resources, but once they face that [Jashin]'s counterattack, they'll suffer all the more severely!"

"And once the [Maha Clan] gets involved, they'll also have to bear the greatest casualties."

"After all, everyone likes resource-rich places. Everyone wants to occupy the most fertile planets..."

"Isn't that right?"

Meishiki nodded dizzily in agreement.

What Natsume said did seem to make sense.

The richer an area was, the fiercer the competition would be!

But...

Why did she keep feeling as though he was tricking her?

"Besides, look at how vast this [Fallen God Starfield] is."

"There are countless resource-rich regions. How could they all possibly be occupied in such a short time?"

"Don't forget."

"When our clan developed the entire [Main Starfield], it took hundreds of thousands of years..."

"So don't dwell too much on immediate gains and losses."

"Time is the most effective weapon..."

"Having enough people is what gives us the confidence to turn things around..."

Natsume continued to fool her.
