Lord of the Truth

Chapter 880: Battling as an owner



"Dududu~~" Robin put all his weight on his left arm that he placed behind him and looked up at the sky with a slight smile enjoying the sunshine

"Ahhh!!"

"Damn, how do we deal with that thing!?"

Tree Father Hoffenheim didn't need to focus on a specific enemy, he just focused on three things: protecting Robin, clearing a way for Peon, and randomly waving his remaining branches towards anyone or anything it could reach.

Although he didn't put all his strength behind each branch, each one of them carried enough power, any saint touching a branch would turn into blood vapor, any sage would have his bones broken, and martial emperors would be pushed back like missiles.

Of course, if the Tree Father Hoffenheim focused on fighting a specific martial emperor, he would be able to capture and crush him easily, but that wasn't the order he received, he was summoned to equalize the balance... and he did exactly what he was asked to do.

13 Martial Emperors, 45 thousand soldiers, four warlords, and one giant tree, against 330 Martial Emperors, 140 thousand soldiers, and dozens of space warships, and the result? A tie.

It could even be said that the Great Serpent Empire's soldiers and ships were decreasing even faster!

This way, none of the Great Serpent Martial Emperors would die anytime soon, but that wasn't the point...

"You're not going anywhere today!!"

Smiling towards the sky, Robin remembered something and opened one eye, "Hey Evergreen, how about some help? Let me feel that you are useful here!"

"Alright alright~" Robin heard a childish voice, then immediately felt something warm, "Hmm?"

A stream of natural energy began to flow into the palm of his left hand that he was supporting behind him, slowly but surely the energy level in his body began to rise, "Nice.." Robin nodded in satisfaction

*BluBlu~* Next to him, the ground sank slightly, forming a small pool about a meter wide, then a liquid began to emerge from under the ground to fill that pool, "Oh, the energy essence?" Robin laughed and took a sip, "Ahh~ Hot but delicious as always." As he spoke, he felt the energy core number 38 refreshed as if its thirst had gone away!

Until recently, he didn't know that the liquid he ordered Evergreen to collect was widely known and people were searching for it specifically and invading planets for it, that information he got when they found quantities of energy essence inside the ships they managed to drop along with a number of energy pearls, then once again his appreciation for Planet Greenland changed, he knew it was filled with this expensive juice!

There are many large lakes on the back of this planet, one of them is completely dedicated to the Terra beasts so that they grow and reproduce faster, while the rest are treasure waiting to be harvested.

*Vrooom*

"Hmm?" Robin raised his head towards the source of the commotion and found something like a whirlpool forming right above Hoffenheim, with a little bit of concentration he knew right away that it was made of soul force, "You can do it?"

"Why not? Soul force is one of the planet's assets just like natural energy," Evergreen who had formed in the pool of energy essence next to him laughed, "Now your soul creature can fight for a long time without worrying about it fading away!"

Again, Robin nodded in satisfaction... Taking out Hoffenheim like this isn't easy, he could compare it to Robin using the Major Space Law continuously and without stopping, eventually he wouldn't be able to take it anymore and the soul creature would fade back into Robin's soul domain.

But there was no escape from that, the soul creature Hoffenheim required a thousand soul units to form into a fixed form, but with every branch movement he made, he consumed one or two units of Robin's 5,000 reserves, which meant that within a few minutes he would have to return to Robin's soul domain so that Robin could regain what he had lost.

Evergreen's action now is to force the soul creature Hoffenheim to consume the soul force of the planet during his attacks without further burdens on Robin, this way he will be able to hold out for a much longer period!

"Do you want me to summon beasts and insect waves? But it will take some time to gather them." Evergreen put her hand behind her back and nodded gently, "I could also put a no-fly zone, or maybe empty the battlefield of air and make them unable to breathe? I could summon lightning storms again!"

"Oh, are those things going to be focused on the Great Serpent Empire's soldiers only?" Robin raised his eyebrows slightlyn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Evergreen shook her head, "These are Laws that I'll be temporarily modifying, and the laws will apply to everyone including your soldiers, except you of course."

"...." Robin gave her a sideways glance without saying anything, did she want to kill his men too? "Then no thanks, the situation hasn't gotten that bad yet."

"As you wish, my dear owner, is there anything you want me to do? Evergreen is willing to serve!" She then performed the military salute with infinite kindness

"...." Robin couldn't help but give her a sideways glance, 'Who is this?!'

Ever since she learned that he had another master's law, Evergreen's mischief, stubbornness, and love of arguments disappeared and were replaced by kindness and complete obedience! "Hey," Evergreen looked at Robin with her eyebrows knitted in a puzzled way, "Why didn't you burn your life energy while using the master space-time law? That would have bought you more time, If I remembered correctly I showed you how to do it, and you saw for yourself that it wouldn't cause you harm, It can't be that you forgot, right?"

"....." Robin didn't answer right away

When he first finished refining Evergreen, she told him to burn some of his life energy as an experiment, and he did, then he noticed that the burned part was refilled until it was completely back to normal. Then Evergreen told him that he only had to leave a little bit of life energy in his vein and she would always refill that vein since Robin's life had become linked to her life as a planet.

Of course, this is not an alternative type of infinite energy. Robin noticed that the rate of refilling the Lifeline was much slower than the rate of burning it, meaning that if he overused his Life Energy, he might find himself dead without even realizing it...

Today for example, if Robin burned his Life Force, it would produce a tremendous amount of energy that would make the time period in which he could use the Space-Time Master Law double or triple. Instead of quickly returning to where he stood, he would have easily been able to kill 20 or even 50 enemy Martial Emperors before he got close to the danger zone!

But in the end, he chose not to.

In front of Robin's silence, Evergreen raised her eyebrow slightly and folded her hands in front of her chest, "I see... You no longer trust me completely, huh."
