Chapter 627 Who is the monster?
Aru's shout brought Robin's attention to him again, and he spoke with a laugh, " Do you think shutting a few mouths would make any difference? Even if all of your tongues were cut out, do you think that would prevent me from knowing the truth? The truth about the destruction of most of your armies has become a reality in my eyes and the case is closed. Who can stop the demon army now? By using the Heavenly Major Space Law I can determine the locations of the rest of your army concentration points and major cities over this half of the planet within one hour and send to each of them a demon army to level them with the ground, while you will remain here playing with me and the Demon Emperors. Do you think that whether you talk to me or not will make any difference? You do not have secrets in front of me. In my eyes, you are as naked as the day your mothers gave birth to you!"
"You... What kind of monster are you?!" Aru's face was completely filled with panic, there was no point in trying to cover it up further, If he continued pressing the Robin was mistaken then he could just put his theory to the test!
They had struggled so much to keep this truth hidden for as long as possible, but Robin now spoke as if it was as clear as the sun and he even became certain that he was ready to get the demon army out of their safe zone... All that and he had not taken a step outside the wall yet!
"Huh? Ahaha me? I'm the monster? You alone have sacrificed more than thirteen thousand saints and sages in order to obtain this power, I know what stripping the solid foundations from a body does, I tasted it myself once, and certainly not a single one of those who *contributed* to making you an Emperor has survived. And let me guess, most of the people you sacrificed were from one race that had to do with the Path of Earth, right? And the rest of the scattered pieces of other laws mean that the people of that race were not enough for you that you had to gather a thousand more from other races, That is, you literally sacrificed the saints and sages of an entire race in order to obtain this power, and of course this race will not survive after that, meaning that you alone indirectly annihilated an entire race. and you dare to call ME a monster? What about you then?" Robin's big smile turned into an angry expression
"If it had not been for you sending the demons upon us, this would not have happened! The Rock Lizards race made a great sacrifice for the sake of our entire world. If it were not for them, I would not have been able to confront this thing and everything would have ended at his hands!" Aru shouted, pointing at Sakaar, "You sent us those demons to kill us all and destroy the world, but you call me a monster because I want to protect my world? What kind of twisted mind do you have? But then again, what?would I expect from then one leading these things?"
"Oh, what an impassioned and powerful speech, but I have a feeling that the great sacrifice of the rock lizard species wasn't voluntary, was it?" Robin raised his head further and laughed
"..." Aru had nothing to say, how could an entire race choose to sacrifice themselves in order to strengthen a person of another race? They wouldn't even do it for one of their own!
The rock lizard race was one of the most evil and hostile races on the Orphan Blood planet, and everyone hated them, so when it was decided to use sacrifices, everyone agreed to start with them first, so the blades of the army that were prepared to take down the demons turned into swords directed at the rock lizard tribe until they were all annihilated without leaving a single infant behind... The cries of that race still echo in his head to this day.
"This is what I thought as well... Let's be realistic here. You have all been fighting each other and eating each other's flesh since ancient times. You declared war on the demon race only because they exterminated two races and you were afraid of their momentum, right? But you, alone, annihilated one of your local races to obtain this power of yours, in addition to all the races that were crushed in order to make all those Emperors behind you, according to the density of certain laws in their foundations makes us certain that you have annihilated at least 7 or 8 races, and have harmed the rest of the races to the point that it will take hundreds or thousands of years to regain their strength! If we calculate the extent of the destruction caused by the demons and compare it to what you have caused to yourselves, we will find that the demons are the oppressed side here." Robin laughed again
Then he took his eyes away from Aru and began to pass them over the enemy Emperors again with a keen look, "Why do I have the feeling that you were waiting for a threat like the demons to appear in order to make these sacrifices? This is definitely not an ordinary technique that you all know, otherwise, this rotten planet would have been filled with a lot of Emperors before the arrival of the demons, and the races here would have been much fewer after making sacrifices day and night... This ability to make sacrifices is certainly not a technique that can be passed on either. It must only be one zone or some kind of item that exists in a fixed location, and perhaps it is also under the guard of all the races. Of course. Who would want a member of an enemy race to make such huge sacrifices and become stronger? Let me guess... There are heavy conditions that you have set among yourselves that must be met first in order to use it, otherwise no one will allow it, and the emergence of the demon race fulfilled these conditions and gave the powerful races among you the right to use that item and cooperate in exterminating the inferior races!"
*Gulp* Not only Aru, but panic appeared on the faces of all the Emperors of the Orphan Blood Planet, even Flora forgot the pain in her arm and stared at Robin with shaking eyes.
"Phew! I always regretted it when I decided to send the demons here, and I doubted Moren's words when he told me that you were a bunch of savages who deserved to die, but now I see that he was right." Robin shook his head several times, then raised his head and looked at them condescendingly, "This shithole you call a planet deserves everything that happens to it. If I didn't send the demons to fill their bellies, you would have destroyed yourselves sooner or later."
*Crack* Aru clenched his hands until they started making cracking noises, and spoke in a muffled voice, "Think about it however you want, but I only wanted to protect my world from a greater threat. I wanted the greater good for everyone after making the necessary sacrifice."
Robin raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard some remorse in Aru's tone, "Wow, what do we have here... A monster with a conscience? No wonder they chose to make you the first to gain the power of an Emperor, Maybe they see you as an honest person, worthy of trust even?" Then he raised his voice and looked at the rest of the local Emperors, "If the honest person among you is willing to sacrifice 13,000 saints and sages, thirteen thousand people in order to gain power, people who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years and have their own stories, lives, and ambitions, people who have families who loved them! Then what does the immoral person among you do then?"
Then he turned back to look at Flora, "I am not saying that I am an angel descending from heaven. I decided to be a devil and sacrifice you in order to gather power, but isn't that what you are doing as well? At least when I decided to sacrifice, I decided to attack a distant planet. As for you, You are sacrificing each other!"
Robin waited a few seconds before sighing, "...I came today mainly to see why the seventh wave has not started yet, but I also came to see if there is a way out that I can give you. Perhaps my feeling of guilt towards the people of this world will ease a little, but I no longer see any reason why I would hesitate to finish you off... My demons, are you hungry?"
