Lord of the Truth

620  A glimmer of hope

40 kilometers from the steep hill--

*Swoosh*

Robin stopped in mid-air and then pointed down, ”I finally found a hill that Jabba has not leveled to the ground yet. Although it is small, it will suffice.”

*Swoosh* *Swoosh*

Zara and Emily floated past Robin as well and focused on the hill below

While Emilyʼs mind was busy wondering what would be asked of her, Zara couldnʼt contain herself any longer, ”Dad, why did you bring us all this distance? What exactly are we going to do?”

”Firstly because I can still hear the sounds of celebrations up the hill from here, especially the colony below them celebrating as if there was a festival going on. I donʼt think those annoying people will stop anytime soon. Why would they celebrate the success of the Warlord Experiment anyway? Donʼt they know weʼre still at war? Robin laughed and shook his head

”They are celebrating especially BECAUSE we are in a state of war, Dad. Every day comes a new list of soldiersʼ deaths that establishes a state of sadness across the colonies. They long for anything that makes them happy..” Zara explained with a gentle smile.

”Youʼre right, thatʼs why I let them do what they want.” Robin nodded and then looked at Emily, ”The second reason we came here is because the experiment we are going to do must be somewhere in the wild, otherwise whether the experiment fails or succeeds it will cause huge damage to the steep hill. After all, the technique that Emily trained on is the same technique that Jabba used to destroy his body from the inside during his fight against the Warlord. Perhaps after looking at him now, you can guess the consequences of anything that goes wrong.”

”Your Excellency, please give me your order, whether I succeed or fail, I will be happy to contribute.” Emily placed her hand on her heart and bowed slightly, but her calm tone did not hide the sound of her heartbeat, which began to accelerate.

Robin was silent for a moment, then laughed in a low voice, ”Donʼt worry, whoever reaches the rank of Emperor will not be foolish or without talent. I am confident that you can implement the technique with utmost precision.”

After Emily nodded, Robin pointed towards the small hill below, ”You are from the Trent Family from the Sacred Tree Continent, which means you are experienced in the Major Heavenly Law of Plants, I want you to use a Fourth Stage Rapid Germination attack on this hill.”

”That technique from the Fourth Stage? But Your Excellency--”

Before Emily could finish her words, Robin placed his hand on her shoulder, ”Donʼt worry, how come I donʼt know about the problem of using the Fourth Stage of Laws? This is exactly why I gave you the Superior Energy Control Technique.”

”Your Excellency, you mean..?” Emily furrowed her eyebrows slightly

”I realize that you understood what I wanted you to do since you learned the uses of that technique, but thatʼs okay, let me explain to you clearly... The problem with the fourth stage of the laws is that they require a large amount of energy in a short period of time, energy that cannot be gathered by normal methods, so we have to gather it in other ways~ And here comes the role of the superior energy control technique, the technique invented by Jabba that can make you control the energy strands from the moment they leave the center of the energy pool until they reach the palm of your hand. All you need to do is accelerate the movement of those energy strands to twice the normal rate.”

”Accelerating the movement of the energy strands at twice the normal rate... Isnʼt this very dangerous, Dad? It is as if you were asking to pump 15 liters of blood into a human body that only holds 5 liters. This could cause an explosion inside her body!” Zaraʼs facial expression turned slightly fearful and then she shifted her gaze to Emily, ”And she would have to do this while performing a fourth-stage attack as well?”

”Who said it wasnʼt difficult? But if someone with enough talent to reach the Emperor Realm canʼt do it, who can?” Robin raised his hands and shook his head with a smile, ”In general, if the head of the headquarters does not agree to conduct the experiment, we can find another candidate, the matter is in her hands.”

*Frrrr*

At this moment, a repulsive aura emanated from Emily, causing Robin and Zara to retreat a few meters

Emily did not respond again to Robinʼs question to say whether she agreed to the experiment or not, but rather she immediately began to speed up the flow of energy through her body as Robin ordered her to do.

*Frrrr*

*Bzzzzzzt* *Bzzzzzzzzt*

Within half a minute, a faint glow began to emerge from Emilyʼs skin and eyes

”This is..?” Zara asked apprehensively

”Donʼt worry, her veins are glowing from the intensity of the heat resulting from the energy current passing at a higher speed, but she is fine... I think...” Robin raised an eyebrow watching the process

About a minute later, when Emilyʼs body began to look like a bright flame in the dark night, Robin couldnʼt help himself and stepped forward excitedly despite the hot stream of air coming from her, ”Here we go... Here we go...”

At this moment, when Emily reached the maximum speed she could achieve, she slowly raised her palm and pointed it toward the hill, then closed it.

*CRAAAH*

*RUMBLE*

09:19

Hundreds of tree roots came out from every inch of the hill and began to expand and grow leaves until they became trees, then those trees were pulled back to the ground again, leaving behind a handful of dirt and crumbled rocks that began to collapse.

”Haha.. hahaha it worked! It worked!!” Robin placed both hands on either side of his head and shouted happily

The hill that had been standing tall a moment ago had been flattened to the ground with a single action... This was the power of the fourth stage of the Plant Law!

But a shout brought Robin out of his dreams, ”Headquarters Head!!”

When Robin looked at Emily again, he found that her glow had gone out and she began to fall from the sky like a doll whose ropes had been cut...

*poof*

Zara quickly picked her up and began pumping life energy into her body as she carried her to a nearby safe area, ”Headquarters Head Emily! Headquarters Head, can you hear me?”

”Calm down, there is no need to panic. Do you think I will harm my people?” Robin came to their side and took Emilyʼs hand with his eyebrows furrowed, then activated the Eye of Truth

After about a minute, Robin let out a sigh and then gently left her hand on her stomach to rest, ”As I thought, Her body has not received permanent damage. You can say that her body is in shock because it has never been exposed to such pressure before. With some rest, she will be fine.”

”Really? Hooh~” Zara breathed a sigh of relief as well. Emily was one of the few who felt comfortable talking to her from time to time, then she looked at her adoptive father, ”Dad, this method is very dangerous. Using it during battles will do more harm than good.”

Robin shrugged his shoulders and looked away, ”I never said I would distribute it to the Martial Emperors now. The technique still needs a lot of adjustment, but finally, I have something to build upon, finally, there is hope on the horizon... there is hope.” Then he started clenching his hands so hard that they started making strange noises

*Rumble* *earthquake*

Suddenly the ground began to move as if it were the end of the world, the clouds started to disappear and the atmosphere began to turn grey!

”What is happening?!” Zara flinched and took a defensive position next to Emily

Robin looked around for a few seconds and then shook his head, ”It seems that Julian and Eric have arrived on the battlefield, so what is happening now is that Tree Father Labikan has decided to use all of his refinement. Maybe it will be to antagonize more Warlords or something, he is putting everything on the line in this battle. ”

”More Warlords? ...Are you going to the battlefield?”

”No need. Julian is enough to destroy at least 5 of them, and Eric being with him decides the battle before it begins. Labikan simply took his last breath.” Robin smiled and then went and carried Emily in his arms, ”Letʼs go back to the steep hill, I will settle a few things with the headquarters first, and I want you to spend a few days with Emily until she wakes up, then you can do whatever pleases you after that~ as you see, the war on Greenland wouldnʼt last much longer.”

”What about you?” Zara asked quickly, her adoptive fatherʼs tone indicating that he wanted to be alone again

”Me? ...Iʼm going to the Farm Planet.”
