Lord of the Truth

756  Robin Burton, The Truth Chosen.

”What is required of me?” Jabba clenched his fists as if he wanted to smash them to dust, the situation he found himself in was nothing to envy

”Oh? No wonder the Master Law of Truth chose you..” The Dark Soul Shard smiled, ”Although the Master Law of Truth is the most widespread, especially in the young planetary belt, it is also the only Master Law that cannot be learned nor does it have any techniques, this particular Master Law is the only one that chooses its user... It is said that all users of truth are born sharp and rational. Your decision proves to me that this is true.”

Jabba gritted his teeth hard.

”The things required of you are quite simple. First, stop buying nonsense from the Third Truth Chosen in exchange for my pearls... Second, do not allow him and his assistants to use the eastern region for their convenience starting today, I am not telling you to enter into direct confrontation with them, just find some excuses to keep them away until you receive support from your brothers from the Great Serpent Empire.”  The Black Soul Shard took a few steps toward him, ”Oh, and I want you to tell me the history of the Third Truth Chosen since the day he was born. Who knows, I might find a way to recruit him to my side or at least some clues about his overlord... But hurry so that little girl doesnʼt lose her patience.”

Jabba ignored the comment about the *little girl* since he didnʼt fully understand it, then sighed and shook his head, ”I can guarantee you the first and second since this what I intended anyway, but the third is impossible.”

The aura of the dark soul shard changed again, it was clear that she did not like the words

”Sorry, not because I donʼt want to, but because I canʼt...” Jabba shook his head, ”I exchanged a soul oath with His Excellency previously. I swore not to reveal anything about him and he swore that... he has no intention of harming the giant race. ”

Jabbaʼs voice began to decrease little by little until he fell weakly in his chair and looked up. Memories of that meeting between him, his master, and Orzon began to resurface... ʼI had almost forgotten that he had sworn not to harm the Nihari giantsʼ race. How could I have missed something like this? Is that why he didnʼt touch the giants of the East and North? and even left behind a number of giants of the central and southern regions? Because he wants to save the giant race from extinction? ...Even after his anger over what happened to his wife and son, he still thinks about saving the Nihari giantsʼ race, How did I not notice this?ʼ

”Soul oath? Donʼt resist, let me see for myself.” The dark soul shard calmed down a little after hearing Jabbaʼs explanation, and then some of its red aura quickly covered Jabba

10:35

*twitch* Jabba quickly stood up, the strength and intensity of the red aura making him instantly forget his moment of nostalgia.

”…You werenʼt lying, there are indeed old signs of a Soul Restricting Oath.” The dark soul shard nodded, ”But it doesnʼt restrict you anymore. Itʼs clear from the restriction disappeared around thirty years ago.”

Jabba forgot his feeling of danger from the red aura and stared at the dark soul shard in its glowing eye, ”What do you mean it disappeared thirty years ago?! This type of oath has been experimented a lot and it is impossible for it to disappear unless the oath tablet is destroyed, and that specific tablet is with-- Wait a second... Thiry years? Wait wait wait!!”

The dark soul shardʼs smile grew, but it didnʼt say anything.

”That son of a bitch... Son of a bitch really intends to wipe out the Nihari giantsʼ race!!” *Bam* Jabba was so angry that he couldnʼt control his breathing, he kicked the table made of the bark of Father Hoffenheim, who had bought it for a very large sum, and it shattered into several small pieces.

The dark soul shard took advantage of Jabbaʼs obvious anger, ”Enough! You can still curse and break things later, I pay dearly for every second I spend here... Tell me everything you know about your master and his overlord from the beginning, and in brief.” Jabbaʼs rapid breathing calmed down a little, and then he found another seat for himself and sat down on it, placing his head between his arms, ”... My former Master is called Robin, from a human family called Burton, he was born on a simple planet whose martial age barely reached 60,000 years, when he was fourteen years old he...~”

Jabba was very interested in his master back then, One of the first things he did after the end of the war to unify Planet Jura was to research his entire history before meeting him, he questioned every single member of the Burton familyʼs old generation with a smile on his face. He never expected that he would use that information in this way a few years later...

Despite this, there are many things about which only a sentence or two is known, for example, the fact that Robin was saved from death in the cave by a person called the All-Seeing God and returned as a 12-year-old child, but he did not know anything about the details of what happened in the cave that day... However, as soon as he mentioned what happened in the cave, the soul shardʼs aura became disturbed.

”...Later on, the person called the All-Seeing God appeared again and told Robin that he needed him to save a planet called Nihari and that his rival was preparing his army to invade that planet within fifty years, and that he must--”

”His rival? ...Continue.” For the second time, the soul fragmentʼs aura was disturbed again.

Indeed, Jabba continued his talk about Robinʼs innovations during that period, most notably the talismans, then about Robin attacking the Kingdom of Dolivar and the War of the Three Kingdoms and strengthening the Burton family, then marrying Mila and using the space portal that he received its design from the All-Seeing God and going to Nihari, then he talked about How he was taken prisoner by a local circus, how he discovered the Major Heavenly Law of Gravity to escape, and what he did to the circus members.

Then he talked about how he chased him with a whole team of soldiers stronger than Robin, and yet he was defeated and a talisman was tied to his neck, and how Robin was impressed by his intelligence and took him as a disciple that day, and about Robinʼs plan to communicate with inferior intelligent beings at that time, and how he established the sect from scratch Then talked about Robin joining the academy with him and his kidnapping and torture at the hands of the Fire Salamander organization and how he managed to fool and control them. Then he talked about how he gained the trust of monsters called Demons and that they became his most loyal and powerful followers to this day.

Then he spoke about unifying the eastern region under his banner within a few years, and about his plan to unify the entire planet Nihari within only fifty years and the strengthening and preparing it to confront the Great Serpent Empire without bringing a single weapon or companion from another planet... Then he described that fateful day when news arrived of what had happened to his wife and son.

Since Jabba started speaking, the dark soul shard showed interest, sometimes raising her visible eyebrow above her slightly glowing eyes, sometimes nodding, sometimes looking annoyed... But when the talk came about linking the murder of Robinʼs wife On Planet Nihari and what happened to his son, her aura was greatly disturbed.

”...After that day, Robin changed into a completely different person. Instead of focusing on following his mission, he ordered the sect to mobilize an army to attack the northern region, before he took a number of Demon Kings and headed towards his home planet, and there---” Jabba shook his head as he spoke about the massacre that befell the entire Ancestral Continent, about his plan to successfully get the family prisoners, and then the atrocities that befell the Flame Continent.

Then he talked about the betrayal of the sect and the disintegration of the eastern region again, and about how Robin withdrew his hand from Planet Nihari and went to subjugate two new planets and succeeded in doing so easily even though the resistance was strong, and about the founding of the research and development team and how with them he was able to invent a method for using Uracilium Metal, which greatly increased the strength of the Empireʼs army, and about creating the revolutionary arrays

In the end, he talked about how he cut the link between him and Robin as a master because he did not want to help defend the planet Nihari, and then on and on all the events that followed until he reached today~

...Even though the dark soul shard told him that every second she spent here was paid for, Jabba did not summarize much, nor did he ignore anything he could remember... From beginning to end, placing his head in his hands and narrating as if he were telling the story of his own life. It was not known if he was telling it to the Dark Soul Shard as he was ordered, or only to remind himself one last time.

”...” As for the dark soul shard, it turned around and took a few steps towards the balcony, and remained silent for quite a while.

Then Jabba heard her speak again, ”...Well done, there is one last thing I want you to do to prove your loyalty to me. If you do it, everything I promised you will be yours, and much more.”

”... What is it?” Jabba replied choked

The dark soul shard turned again to face Jabba and its firm voice sounded, ”Find a way and kill Robin Burton, The Truth Chosen. That person must not be left alive.” *Swoosh* Then she disappeared from the floor as if nothing had happened.
