Lord of the Truth

497 Two Paths



The buds whose bodies are destroyed during the battle due to a fiery explosion, for example, or their bodies get frozen, their remains are collected and sent to be food for the Draco. If the Draco creatures could speak, they would certainly have opened their mouths and thanked the owner of this idea, as it had provided them with rich and abundant food that during the four years the number of the Dracos has multiplied several times!

The Draco Corps is currently stationed in the lands of the Northern Fury tribe, sometimes they might be joining General Billy in his campaigns against Tree Father Descartes, otherwise, they do nothing but eat and mate, and this policy is beginning to bear fruit greatly.

As for the buds that are neatly killed, keeping their bodies in good condition, these are collected and stored in huge complexes and under strict guard based on Robin's directives, as he had previously requested that some of the buds' corpses be left to search for other interests that could be exploited, but he did not think that such a request would turn into a huge project under the leadership of Jabba!

According to the report, the corpses of the buds do not perish under natural conditions. After all, they are designed to live forever as long as they are supplied with life energy and soul force from time to time.

'Another thing that requires me to search for a long time...' Robin put everything aside and Robin rubs his forehead for quite some time.

Whenever he sits by himself for a few minutes, he feels that he is falling short on a certain front, or that there is something he should start doing immediately, but where does he get enough time for all of it?

The feeling of inadequacy was seriously stifling...

In fact, Robin managed to heal his soul in less than two years, and for the next two years, he was simply completely occupied with strengthening his soul by swallowing more Soul from the thundercloud in his Soul Domain.

He also drew himself a Third-Stage Body Strengthening Divine Tattoo and upgraded the level of the two offensive Divine Tattoos on his body to be the Third-Stage Pure Strength Divine Tattoo and the Third-Stage Space Piercing Divine Tattoo

He even took advantage of the opportunity and created a new tattoo called the Phoenix Vitality Divine Tattoo, a tattoo whose only mission is to restore his body to its optimal state, it does not matter if he was cut to the bone or his energy was simply exhausted, and he also added to it a special automatic activation in the event of any defect being detected in his ideal form. This means that the tattoo will activate automatically during the battle in case Robin is injured in order to heal him or replenish his energy reserves without Robin's control!

The Divine Tattoo took him months to figure out and execute, but he was very satisfied with the result, the problem with the Divine Phoenix Vitality Tattoo is that it is rather slow compared to high-level battles whose outcome may be decided in seconds, as I and like all divine tattoos, it draws its strength from the surrounding energy and pumps it into The body directly, and this will increase the pressure on Robin's body while activating it... But these problems are nothing compared to getting a quick physical recovery and automatically replenishing energy during battle!

He also spent some time researching the patterns of the Fourth Stage of the Major Heavenly Law of Life and the Major Heavenly Law of Lightning as he pushed his understanding of the Truth to a completely different level, he felt that this was the right path for him to take to the Third Stage of the Master Law of Truth.

So whether in terms of cultivating energy, body, and even soul he had taken a huge qualitative leap in all of them during the four years, it was hard to say that he could find someone among mid-level Sages who could block even a few attacks from him! 

...But at the same time and over the course of the four years, he did not innovate or recommend anything useful.

This is not the first time, after his torture on Planet Nihari at the hands of the Salamander Organization head, he also spent quite a long time not researching or producing anything other than strengthening himself and looking into the laws to reach a higher stage in the Master Law of Truth.

'Dammit... Why do the two paths have to be diametrically opposed? If I focus on training, I will neglect the affairs of MY Empire, and if I focus on innovation and moving the Empire forward, I will remain weak forever...' This was the first time Robin felt frustrated because he was getting stronger!

Logically, he should follow the path he chose for himself when he was 12 years old, innovate and support from behind, isn't this logic that made him unify Planet Jura in just three decades? ...But he also saw for himself more than once that he would never earn the respect of those around him and force them to obey him without personal strength, even Oaths would not make up for how weak he is in their eyes!

'Strengthening the empire means better chances of saving Richard, ending my promise to the All-Seeing God, and achieving my revenge. No matter how strong I am individually, I will never be able to win a battle of this magnitude on my own... But if I am not strong enough, I will not be able to lead the empire that I built, no matter how tight the oath is, there are always Loopholes, what happened to him throughout my life is sufficient proof, that I must earn the respect and fear of my followers, otherwise, strengthening them will be in vain! What should I do...' Robin put both hands on his head and pressed them unconsciously

'Time... Time is the problem... I can strengthen the Empire if I want and create a strong civilization that will last an eternity on all the planets in my Empire, and I can also strengthen myself so that no one will ever challenge my authority again, but where do I get the time to do both..!!!'  Robin pressed his head harder and harder, '...Arghh~ Wouldn't it be perfect if there were two of me?'

'...I will think of something after that Wizards thing pass.' After a long time, Robin managed to end that rope of thoughts. 

He came here today to clear his mind before the battle seemed to be the decisive one against the Tree Father. Busying his thoughts now with difficult questions like this will do him no good... So he closed his eyes to sleep in his place for a bit, then went back to check more reports

He finally reached the reports on the events of Planet Jura...

"Hmm?" When Robin asked for books and tablets related to Jura, he was surprised that they were many times thicker than what he found about both Greenland and Nihari!

With great astonishment, Robin began to read the important reports about the unified, quiet planet, which is supposed to do nothing but construction and building... 

But he found that his view was far from the truth.
