Lord of the Truth Chapter 1052: Dispatching soul creatures-1



One Day Ago-

"What are you doing, are you crazy?!" Evergreen shouted, her voice filled with alarm.

Wooozzzz

Clank! Clank!

"My plan has too many flaws. A million things could go wrong. I must be ready to intervene and fight everyone alone." Robin leaped onto an intial soul sphere, chuckling darkly, and then punched it.

BAM! BAM!

CRAAACK!

Only when the sphere cracked and white liquid began to ooze from its sides did Robin clap his hands forcefully. A soul altar materialized, wrapping tightly around the fractured soul sphere. "Apologies, Marshal Snite, but I don't have ti to decipher your soul."

Imdiately, drills roared to life. Wooozzzzz! Dozens of them pierced the initial soul sphere from beneath and the sides, grinding not to extract but to destroy!

Robin waved his hand sharply. "Hmph!"

Wzzz! Wzzz! Wzzz!

The drills in all the soul altars sped up, growing stronger and faster.

"You're trying to kill yourself! Your soul domain cannot withstand such rapid expansion!" Evergreen's frantic gaze darted around, the drilling noises and the sight of the shattering soul spheres nearly making her sick.

Stretch!

The boundaries of Robin's soul domain began to expand visibly. Cracks appeared in its silver ground, trees collapsed, and violent earthquakes rippled through the domain. Turbulence spread across its skies, disrupting its balance.

"Haha! You're the one saying that, Evergreen? Weren't you the one urging to finish them off quickly?" Robin's soul avatar laughed loudly. "And don't worry about my soul domain. With the Greenland Sun above, there's no need to fear any soul injuries."

Robin pointed upward. There, in the heavens of his soul domain, shone a green star. That celestial body had first appeared when Robin fully refined 100% of Greenland and had taken its place as a radiant sun, emitting gentle, warm light. The light descended upon the cracks and damage in the ground and sky of the soul domain, beginning to heal them instantly. "The Greenland Sun's help is limited! And secondly, I already told you to destroy them, but one by one, not at this reckless pace!" Evergreen waved her tiny arms desperately as if her life depended on it. "Each of those spheres contains mories, grudges, and desires! Even if they're incomplete fragnts, you'll have to confront and suppress them individually. What will you do when all those mories and emotions of hatred strike you at once? You could-—"

"Arrgh!" Robin clutched his chest and collapsed onto the silver ground.

"No!" Evergreen darted toward him in panic. "Please stop! You're inviting disaster upon yourself!"

Robin struggled to lift his head, his broken eyes unable to see clearly. Only the radiance of the Greenland Sun kept him conscious. Sohow, he managed to mutter:

"I can't... I... I'm starving, Evergreen. I'm starving... Ha... Haha... HAHAHAHA!!!"

"...?!"

Present Ti - City of Hope

"...Marshal Lonta? Marshal Snite?!" Pythor stood slowly, his mind refusing to accept the shocking reality before him.

Marshal Lonta had died during the invasion of Greenland; Pythor had seen the body himself. Marshal Snite was supposed to be on Poison Rock Planet. Even if he had failed to repel the enemies there, he should be hiding sowhere. What were they doing here?

"Open your eyes and examine your comrades more closely." Robin chuckled at Pythor's slow reaction but didn't bla him. If Elizabeth and Alexander had appeared to him in the sa state, he would've been equally stunned.

"Soul creatures..." Pythor muttered softly, the words bitter on his tongue. "You turned Lonta and Snite into soul creatures? How dare you?!"

Transforming soone into a soul creature was the ultimate act of disrespect. Who would want to serve as a slave under the command of the one who killed them? A slave with no will of their own, only carrying out orders. The notion of a "second chance at life" was nothing more than hollow justification by cruel soul masters.

"Yes, they've beco soul creatures! Do you still like them? Haha! Though they're useless in life, they will be put to good work now. Leaving them dead would've been a waste, so I gave them a decent job." Robin laughed heartily. "But honestly, I owe a lot to Marshal Lonta. When I captured his soul, it still retained complete consciousness. The amount of information he handed was astonishing! He gave the coordinates of all your planets and revealed the locations of your five vaults!"

"Stop provoking ! My marshals have been with since my youth! They are brave n who do not fear death and would never betray . You expect to believe sothing like this? You... you're the one who tortured their souls in the cruelest ways after their deaths! You're the villain here!" Pythor pointed angrily at Robin, his fury ablaze.

"Believe whatever you like. They are dead, and so you are." Robin stood slowly, his expression turning serious.

"..." Pythor's heart sank as he looked at his comrades in this state. "You're... really going to force to fight my comrades? Do you have no humanity?"

"...You're speaking of humanity?" Robin threw his head back and laughed loudly. "Fine, fine... They're not here for you anyway."

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The soul creature Lonta and soul creature Snite flew swiftly toward the army of the Great Serpent Empire, which had entered the city.

"Stop! Co fight instead!" Pythor shouted with all his might, quickly whipping out two leather whips from under his wide robes and lashing them toward the departing creatures.

Shaaa!

Robin's soul ring glimred, and a slender black spear appeared in his hand. Bang! Bang!

Robin fired two precise energy shots at the whips, knocking them down before they could touch the soul creatures. "I am your opponent today."

"Robin Burton!!" Baithor's face twisted with anger before a forced smile appeared. "Do you think you can stop my massive army just because you have Marshal Lonta and Marshal Snite on your side now? You're dreaming! As soul creatures, they can't even use the Law of Corrosion. At best, they'll buy you a few minutes!"

"You're right. I wasn't planning on sending them alone anyway." Robin snapped his fingers.

Vroom! Vroom!

Several calm, silvery portals opened, each resembling liquid rcury, unmoving except when

sothing passed through.

Step. Step. Bam! Bam!

"Raaawwwr!"
