Lord of the Truth

667  The Third Truth Chosen

”Three? Three from one planet in the Young Belt? And one of them is alive too?!” Commander Seagal couldnʼt remain seated, even the rest of the officers around him had their facial expressions turn for the worse as well

”Exactly, they respect them here and call them Heavenʼs Chosens, but they donʼt know what makes these Heavenʼs Chosen what they are, after knowing the history of the three, I can easily say that they are all Truth Chosens, and that the existence of the *Third Heavenʼs Chosen* and that he is still alive is confirmed information, after using My methods of investigation the prisoner has no room to lie. You know this, boss.” Then Shakut furrowed his eyebrows, ”What is not confirmed yet is the news of the appearance of a Fourth Heavenʼs Chosen One who is the disciple of the Third.”

”What nonsense! Is this a fucking joke to you!?”

”We know about truth users because of the information provided to us by the spirit of the Poison Rock planet. She said that most planets do not have a single truth user from their genesis until they return to the primordial chaos. We ourselves have arms in 9 planets and have not encountered a single truth chosen, but here there are four Of them? and even two of them are alive in the same generation?! Has this accursed planet captured the fortune of the entire young planetary belt?!”

”I donʼt want to deal with someone who uses a damn MASTER Law, let alone two of them!! We have to get out of here and report to the Emperor immediately!!”

”Calm down!” Commander Seagal raised his hand and shouted to his followers, ”…It is true that the Master Laws users are rare and should be avoided as much as possible, but Master Law of Truth users are different. They are merely curious researchers who spend most of their lives in seclusion or wandering. Those green eyes of theirs enable them to See what we donʼt see in order to develop their lucky planets faster, but thatʼs all, in terms of individual strength theyʼre nothing worth fearing.”

”But the planet they are developing must be feared!!” One of the officers spoke quickly as he looked around, ”The user of any Master Law is not an ordinary person. Can you imagine the result of the work of four truth chosenes on one planet?! Brother, they are not called disaster harbingers for nothing: * If you find a truth chosen and supported by a kingdom, leave the place to them and escape with your lives.* Isnʼt that what the spirit of the Poison Rock planet told us?! That damn wormhole sent us into a deadly trap, we have to get out of here!!”

”Hahaha, this is interesting, Iʼve always wanted to knock some Master heads off, hahaha.” The only one who seemed excited was the war madman, Ohon.

”...” Commander Seagal sat in his seat with difficulty again and took a long look around him. He knew that his officersʼ words were sound and that they were right, but the decision to leave this huge planet and all of these good things was not easy at all. Finally, he turned back to look at Shakot, ” ...Your next words will decide what we have to do. Tell us more about the two who are alive... Did they choose a solitary life or did they choose the path of war and reign?”

Shakut furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the ground for a moment before shaking his head, ”Itʼs a bit complicated, Iʼll tell you what I know and you decide~ The Third Truth Chosen was a wise man who helped the oppressed intelligent creatures against a race called the Nihari Giants and founded a sect for them called the Nihari Union Sect and provided for them with techniques, weapons, and money to the extent that it enabled them to control the entire eastern region, which is nearly a quarter of the planet, in just 20 years. According to the words, he was a truly genius man from a scientific and military standpoint, There is no person who has not heard of him or talked about him on a daily basis around here. He is literally a legend for some and a nightmare for others.”

Commander Seagal sighed when he heard it and resolved to take his ship and leave until the main army arrived or His Majesty ordered what they should do, according to the spirit of the Poison Rock Planet. This third Chosen One of Truth was the worst kind they could encounter, but for a moment he opened his eyes wide and looked at Shakut again, ”Did you just say... was?”

 Shakut nodded again and stuck out his cleft tongue excitedly, ”Everyone says that the Third Truth Chosen was betrayed by his sect and chose to abandon them. He is still alive and it is said that he is the one who supports these internal wars across the planet secretly with weapons and plans, but his place is currently unknown, and he does not have a kingdom or specific forces under his command anymore. As for the sect, it fell after him and entered into internal wars and lost all the lands that were under their control.”

The big smile returned to Commander Seagalʼs face, ”His support for these wars of extermination and his abandonment of the sect he created with his own hand is an indication of his discontent with the planet. He is no longer a threat. Rather, if we offered him to be our guest to show him to the world and expand his horizons, he might join us. Oh, I can already imagine the number of treasures His Majesty would give if we bring him a Truth Chosen to work for him!!”

The rest of the officers showed smiles on their faces as well, except for one who interrupted their joy, ”What about the Fourth Truth Chosen?”

”Hmm... now thatʼs the problem.” Shakut placed his hand under his pointed chin, ”The Last Truth Chosen or *The Fourth Heavenʼs Chosen*, that person is the disciple of the Third Heavenʼs Chosen. He only became famous 5 years ago after he suddenly appeared and took over the reins of the Nihari Union Sect again, but he did not declare war on anyone, but rather he announced that he had become a Heavenʼs Chosen like his master and called for peace, and contented himself with calling on everyone to join him and leave the internal conflicts. During the five years that he ruled the sect, he contented himself with spreading techniques and weapons among his followers and facilitating the process of bringing more members to the sect from other regions, and he focused specifically on Building castles and defenses intensively until the eastern region, especially a place called the Desert of Death, was transformed into a large fortress.”

”A while ago, you said that the sect has completely collapsed. I donʼt want to belittle a Master Law User, but it is impossible for him to have completely revived it in only five years...” Commander Seagal furrowed his eyebrows, ”Strange, why is he calling for peace while at the same time building such large defenses?”

”In order to confront invaders coming from another world.” Shakot chuckled

”...Huh?” Not only Commander Seagal but all the officers and even the battle-mad Ahun were shocked by the response

Shakot shrugged his shoulders, ”The legendary Third Heavenʼs Chosen rumored that within fifty years, invaders from another world would come to plunder the planetʼs resources and enslave the population. It was even said that he founded the sect in order to confront the invasion, and because he is a trustworthy person, it is clear that some fools believed his prophecy and began to prepare for that awaited invasion.”

”A prophecy about an otherworldly invasion? He knows about the existence of other planets?”

”Well all planets will see an invasion sooner or later, he really is a genius to try to unite his planet like this.”

”But isnʼt this fifty-year period too specific? What if the period passes and no one comes? Wonʼt his credibility be destroyed? May be this Third Truth Chosen isnʼt that smart after all.”

 Commander Seagal rubbed his chin slightly and looked at Shakot, ”This is really strange... Shakot, When exactly did that prophecy spread?”

”...Precisely fifty years ago.”

”....”
