Lord of the Truth

Chapter 752 A dark shadow

Nihari planet--

*clatter*

The clear sky above the central region seemed to be suddenly struck by a disease. Black and purple clouds suddenly appeared out of nowhere, each one laden with lightning bolts that appeared strong enough to strike down dragons and phoenixes.

*break break*

The ground began to shake and crack, tongues of lava and burning groundwater poured out from under the ground with extreme force as if they wanted to touch the clouds.

"Kaaa! Kaaa!"

"ROAAR!"

The beasts began to retreat slowly as they looked up in fear, Their legs failed them more than once and they fell on their faces as if they were learning to walk for the first time... The birds and winged beasts took off and began beating their wings like crazy, trying to flee in all directions.

If the central region had not already been evacuated, countless mortals would have died from the harshness of the scene and the intensity of the overwhelming aura.

*Shhh*

Among the clutches of the clouds above and the fangs of lava and fiery groundwater from below, an ambiguous black shadow was formed. It was not clear whether it was a man or a woman, an elder or a youngster, a human or a mutant, it was just a black shadow enclosed by a black and red radiance...

The shadow circled around him with his bright eyes and let out a small laugh, "Just a planet without an owner, you think you can kick me out? How ironic, don't overestimate yourself, little spirit!" Then the shadow raised his hand and closed!

*poof*

"It's okay, I won't touch anything..." The shadow raised both hands laughing, "But I won't leave now."

*swoosh*

The shadow disappeared again. The next time it appeared, it was standing high in the sky of the Eastern Region, looking towards the top of a tall tower rising above the rest of the buildings of a city that seemed to have been built recently...

At this moment, there was a human holding something that looked like a remote, sitting behind a large number of people of different races... The shadow smiled and tilted his head slightly, watching.

Inside the Senate Tower - City of Hope

"Here, look!" Jabba fixed a certain image and pointed at it with a shout. This image was part of an optical recording of the battle in the south between the forces of the Great Serpent Empire and the forces of the True Beginning Empire. Jabba bought this recording from the merchants of the Burton family for 600 thousand energy pearls.

"...What exactly are we looking at, boss?" One of the elders asked in a low voice. The image in front of them showed the True Beginning Empire's ground army approaching the warships, the clash had yet to begin.

"Look at the army!!" Jabba pointed at the picture nervously, "There are approximately 1.5~2 million soldiers who use the laws in that army, all of them mutants like us, meaning they are Nihari people."

"That's right, Sect Master, all the Nihari races are in that army, it seems that the True Beginning Empire wants to use us the indigenous people as cannon powder!" One of the elders stood up and shouted to gain the favor of the sect master, but he received a sharp gaze from Fogun that made him quickly sit down

"I'm not talking about that! It's normal to defend our planet ourselves!" Jabba shook his head, then pointed again at the image and muttered, "...Where are the Nihari giants in that army?"

"This..." All the elders went back to looking at the army again, more closely this time, and some of them moved and zoomed the image several times, and the result was a surprise to them... There are indeed a number of Nihari giants in the army, but their numbers do not exceed one hundred individuals, and they were all in the front row without wearing any kind of armor.

"...There must be an explanation, perhaps the Shadow Swords are keeping them for later battles?" One of the elders said the first thing that came to his mind

"Nonsense! Do you think I knew His Excellency yesterday? If there were more of them, they would all be standing on the front rows..." Jabba shouted and then gritted his teeth, "What we see now means that the Southern Giants are completely finished."
