Lord of the Truth

*OOMMMNNN*

The Silver Soul force moved and surrounded the three white soul orbs with a speed that the three of them were unable to comprehend. When they also tried to activate their own power to evade the silver force, they found that they could not control their soul force, even worse, they could no longer move or speak as if their consciousness was completely blocked.

".....!!!" The three of them panicked. Even though they were just huge features orbs right now, Robin could sense their reactions easily. This was not something they had experienced or even heard of before.

"Haha~ Isn't this much better? How beautiful is silence..." Robin's silver avatar looked up and closed his eyes, then pretended to take a deep inhale while still maintaining his smile, "You know what? I actually like silence a lot and appreciate people who speak little, Maybe it's because I grew up in an emotionally dry environment and got used to seclusions from a young age? Hey, why are you looking at me like that? Don't you like me talking about my past, you heartless person? If you lot dare to say something, say it to my face!"

"...."

"Oh, my apologies, I forgot that you are completely helpless and cannot say a word without my permission Ahaha." Robin laughed out loud and snapped his fingers, the silvery membrane around the three soul avatars weakened slightly

"Otherworldly invader Robin Burton!! What exactly are you trying to do?!" One of the three orbs shouted angrily, but the panic was still evident in his words, especially when he felt that he still could not move or use his soul force.

Robin rested his chin on his hand and laughed, "What do I intend to do? I'll teach you your place, of course. Where can I find a better opportunity than this to teach you the difference between us? Normally, it would have taken me decades to eliminate your armies and reach your bodies. Do you know how much time and effort your presence here has saved me? Haha, today is indeed something worth celebrating! Right, where are the other two Tree Fathers? Were they afraid when they heard that Descartes was joining me and decided to stay away from the planet's spirit domain so that I would not visit them? Smart... I can't say the same about the three of you honestly."

"Worth celebrating? What exactly are you celebrating!? That you can imprison our consciousness here, or do you hope that we will explode these avatars as Hoffenheim did and lose a large part of our soul force? Or will you force us to submit to you and become puppets at your mercy as you did with the traitor Descartes? Do you think that we have no way of getting out of here whenever we want? You are dreaming!" One of the other three soul orbs began to speak, in a relatively calm voice this time, "But let's talk, this is indeed a good chance, assuming that you succeed and destroy these avatars, and what then? You will only make us eternal enemies, and we will rain down our soldiers on your head until you and your followers are annihilated!"

"Oh, isn't that going to happen anyway? Interesting..." Robin returned to putting his hands behind his back, "I don't know if you will believe me or not, but I did not come as a murderous invader. Rather, I came to open new horizons and open my eyes. I might buy some resources and information from you as well, but who would have thought that I would find a few arrogant trees that want to destroy me instead? so much so that one of you sent all his available forces to kill me without saying a word. Remind me, what happened to him now? Oh, he was dead."

Robin did not care about the reaction of the Trees and the Three Fathers and continued, "Let us forget what happened to Hoffenheim and Descartes for a moment, and suppose that I come today and want to start over. I did not start a war and I haven't lost many men in this, I am here to start a trade now, What do you think?" 

Then he continued with the same smile on his face, "As I see it, you have three options now: First, you completely reject my existence and we continue fighting until you die. Second, you accept the absolute truth of my existence and start commercial relations such that you allow me to buy ANYTHING I want, and then I will ignore your presence and consider you as any other subjects of the Empire, or thirdly, simply swear allegiance to me and be a true part of the True Beginning Empire that extends over more than this small planet, I will take you with me to show you the world!"

"...Is this what you tricked Descartes with and made him become your dog? That you would make him see the world? You gave him the illusion that you could break his connection with the planet and he would move again? What a stupid bastard." One of the soul orbs muttered angrily, clearly not believing it

"You talk about giving us choices but at the same time, you are restricting us. Why don't you let us go first and then we will choose what we want?" Another spoke

"Haha, so you can try to escape? Do you think I'm a fool? No, no, no, there are no democratic options here. Either use oath patterns now to swear eternal loyalty, or become ordinary citizens and give me what I want, or I will destroy these avatars of yours now... I know it's a difficult decision, especially since you are angry now and started to feel how helpless you truly are, so in order not to be called a dictator, I will give you a chance to think carefully, ten minutes is good enough. Think about it and I will get back to you shortly hehe."

After the last word, Robin waved his left hand again, and the blockade of the silver soul force around the three soul avatars intensified and they were again unable to speak, then he advanced towards the huge orb in the middle of the field...

That orb was radiating a faint green color, but it looked like the sun in the middle of the pitch-black darkness. There was something inside him telling him that what he was seeing now was a soul, but at the same time, it did not look like a living soul like him or the other three. It seemed as if something was missing from it...

When Robin examined it for a moment, he noticed that the shapes on its surface were not patterns of laws like those he was accustomed to seeing, but rather it appeared to be a map of some kind, a map of the planet Greenland!

Robin opened his mouth slightly, surprised by what he was seeing, then he began walking slowly around the orb, placing his hands behind his back as if he wanted to engrave a map of the planet in his mind until he reached a spot where a huge tree appeared from above, a tree he knew well... It was the body of Hoffenheim.

Robin's curiosity prompted him to extend his hand towards the tree and tap on it. The next moment, the image in front of him began to quickly approach the ground until he could see a live scene of what was now happening around Hoffenheim's body!

*whistling sound~* Robin couldn't help but let out a faint whistle. This simple feature allows all Tree Fathers to know precisely what is going on anywhere on the planet at all times. He also feels that if he touches the scene in front of him with his soul, he will be able to speak and everyone will hear him as well. This is exactly what happened when the Six Tree Fathers spoke in the battle against the Warlords!

Of course, the Tree Fathers cannot use this feature to spy on each other, as this place is open for every one of them to see, but they undoubtedly used it to monitor every movement made by the Imperial Army during the war on the Tree Father Hoffenheim.

*Shhh~~~*

"Hmm?"

When Robin was about to complete another round around this outline of the planet Greenland, he noticed something strange happening. The light surrounding the outline of the planet began to fall and gather in front of Robin quickly.

Robin furrowed his eyebrows slightly, but he did not feel any hostile intent from that light towards him, so he allowed him to continue whatever he was doing, and he soon began to take on a human form... Almost human form.

After the shards of light finally settled, Robin found himself in front of a little girl... no, no, a little deer... or maybe both?

Whatever was standing in front of him, looked like a human child of seven or eight years old, staring at him with big eyes and a small mouth, but at the same time, deer antlers came out of her head, and a small, fluffy tail came out of her lower back, and even her nose and feet looked like that of a deer, and even its long green hair could not cover her long fluffy ears!

The deer girl in front of him was looking at him with her big eyes filled with intense curiosity... Perhaps because his current silver soul avatar is barely as tall as she is, or because he also has human features while she is used to seeing those giant orbs?

"Who are you?" Both Robin and the little deer girl asked at the same time
