Chapter 591 Stone hands
*Gulp*
One of the soldiers swallowed his saliva out of drastic tension, and it made a sound that resonated in the covered hall as if it were a bomb. He quickly closed his eyes and his breathing quickened for a few seconds, but he forced himself to calm down again and managed to stand up straight.
This was not the first incident. The sound of swallowing saliva was the only thing heard inside the covered training hall from time to time. Other than that, the 5,500 fully armored soldiers did not even dare to breathe loudly.
When Robin felt the tension around him, he sighed and finally spoke, "Relax a little, it won't be long." But his words did not ease the soldiers' tension at all, to the point that he began to doubt himself... Is he really that scary? He doesn't recall that he punished any soldier before for them to fear him like this!
After an unknown period of time, another person with an oppressive aura entered the covered training hall, with about thirty individuals wearing civilian clothes behind him, Then he began to advance towards the Emperor at a rapid pace. The soldiers did not have to see who he was to guess that the person at the head of this group was Jabba, the emperor's only disciple, and those behind him appeared from their luxurious clothes to be Rune Masters.
"Master, I have brought what is required."
"We salute His Majesty the Emperor."
Robin opened his eyes then he stood up and gestured towards the Rune Masters bowing toward him to raise their heads, then looked at his disciple, " You are late, I told you yo gather these ingredients and come here before me, and here I'm the one waiting for you..."
" Ahaha sorry but I couldn't help it, the quantities were too much to gather within a short notice, here you will find everything inside." Jabba laughed it off and extended his palm where he should 5 Space Rings Robin nodded and with an unhurried move, he took two of the space rings and left three in Jabba's hands, " keep those you will need them," Then he, in turn, took out several scrolls of his own Space Ring and Handed them to Jabba.
"Hmm?" Jabba opened the first scroll and raised his eyebrows in amazement. The scroll contained designs for five different and strange rune designs. Even with his eye of truth, he was unable to determine to which law these runes belonged, but he noticed that at the end of each rune, there was something that looked like a tail that could be connected to the runes next to it, Jabba raised his eyes to look at his master again, waiting for an explanation
And Robin did not leave him waiting, "As you saw, each of these scrolls contains five designs for Runes that I thought of while working on the fourth stage of the heavenly laws, with a total of 25 different designs. I want you and the rest of the rune masters here to draw a rune of them on each saint-level soldier here randomly, but all the runes need to be drawn equally among them, meaning that each rune of the 25 must be drawn on 200 saints, do you understand me? As for the runes of the sages, they are much more complicated, so I will handle them myself."
"...Will this increase their power or conceal them or something? ...Pardon the question, but I feel that the Runes are incomplete and I don't see any benefit from them?" Jabba took another quick glance at the scroll in his hand, clearly not convinced
"We will see about that at the end, won't we?" Robin showed a smile and patted Jabba's shoulder, "Let's get going, we have a lot of work ahead of us..."
"...Yes." Although Jabba still did not understand exactly what they were going to do, he shrugged his shoulders in resignation, then looked back at the soldiers, "Did you not hear, His Excellency, your worms? You will have runes drawn from His Excellency's personal designs, Why are you still standing there like fools? Come on, take off your clothes!!
"Present!!!"
*Hustle* *Hustle*
In an instant, the 5,500 soldiers began removing their armor and their clothes from underneath them with unparalleled enthusiasm. Even the women among them forgot for a moment that they were standing among thousands of men and they almost took off their clothes fully as well!
Anything related to Runes is very expensive, even putting aside the offensive divine tattoos that have astronomical prices, even the high-level talismans are rare and very few of them can buy one or two of them. But now they will receive a Rune designed by His Excellency for free, How could they not be excited?! This was especially true for the Sages whom His Excellency will personally draw their tattoos!! "Now all the saints are coming on this side and the sages are on that side, move!!" Jabba shouted again, momentarily seeming to regain his former function as a general

Planet Nihari-- Northern Region-- Midnight in the heart of the capital of the Azil tribe
"Fuck!!!"
*Shooo* *Boom*
A Nihari Giant kicked a pebble on the ground so hard that it smashed the wall of a nearby house
"Damn it, my precious wall!! What bastard did this? I will rip you apart! I will--" A male giant came out of that house and started shouting
"I did it, do you have a problem? Come and bite me if you have one!!" The person who kicked the pebble took a few steps forward and released his aura, which quickly reached the beginning levels of the Sage Realm level of strength.
"I-- I'm sorry! thank you so much for changing the decor of my house!!" The giant who owned the house bowed several times and entered again, closing the door behind him. Even the remaining few giants in the street dispersed quickly until no one remained except the man who kicked the pebble and four individuals around him.
"Mahubal, calm down, this is not a place where we can do as we please, we are still within the territory of the Azil tribe!" One of the remaining giants patted the shoulder of the giant named Mahobal and spoke with furrowed eyebrows
"Damn the Azil tribe! What can they do to us, the sons of the northern Bazuna tribe, huh? Force us to pay for the wall? I will gladly pay!" The angry giant kicked another pebble, destroying a new wall
"We should calm down and think about what we should do. Which one of them will we go to this time?" One of the giants asked
Mahopal looked back and shouted, "I'm not going to anyone else!! Don't you see what's happening? We've been searching for one of the Ashira tribe's Emperors for over a year now but to no avail! Even after we heard about the Monarch of the Nine Suns' presence here for some reason and traveled a huge distance for him, we found that he had left as well, where the hell did they all go? Or are they all refusing to meet us? Are they looking down on us or something?!"
"How can they refuse to meet with us when we are one of the largest suppliers of stolen goods that fill their warehouses? And how would they dare to look down on the Northern Bazuna tribe when we are just as strong as them? No, no, there is another reason... I think that since they all refuse to meet with us, it seems that they became arrogant and want to reduce the prices at which they buy our goods, we must report this situation to His Majesty." Another giant spoke with sparks shooting from his eyes. They had wasted almost a year tracking down the Ashira tribe's emperors to make a huge deal with them as usual, but whenever they got close to one they found him *Not here at the moment* or *Unavailable*, even the Nine Suns Monarch who usually cared about such matters seemed as if the ground opened and swallowed him as well
"Yes, let us go back and inform His Majesty. It is better that we start our own auctions and abandon the fools from the Ashira tribe." Another giant announced his approval
The giant named Mahobal took a deep breath and slowly began to part his forehead, "Tsk~ There is no other solution, let us go back, but I do not think that any of their Majesties would agree to start our own auctions... The problem is that our tribe does not want the bad reputation that comes from selling these suspicious goods, the Ashira scum are good at carrying this kind of bad reputation and--"
*Rumble* *Rumble*
"Hmm? WHAY THE-- AAHHH!!"
Suddenly, the ground beneath the giants' feet split open, and dozens of arms made of rocks extended toward their necks
