Lord of the Truth

"No, he... His Excellency does not think that way." Jabba looked down, his forehead filled with sweat

Until this moment, he thought that the Burton family's merchants were exaggerating prices in retaliation for the Nihari Union Sect's betrayal in the past, and because he had severed his relationship with him as a disciple, it never occurred to him that Robin was trying to drain the planet in this way... He knew that his master had a mission from someone called the All-Seeing God, but wasn't the mission to confront the invasion? No, what if he's lying? What if he had the same mission as those snakes and had come to empty the world of its riches?!

"Hmm, what confuses me is this whole thing about predicting the arrival of invaders. It's too accurate to be a coincidence, the fifty-year time limit has already passed and more than a year has passed since the first arrival of the *invaders* he spoke of, so it's safe to say he means us... This is definitely not one of the capabilities of the Master Law of Truth, what's going on?" The Dark Soul Shard completely ignored Jabba's collapse and gently patted her chin, and then her aura changed to become a little turbulent, "This lofty and long-term prediction ability... Could it be that this has something to do with one of them? Hmph, if they think I'll back down just because of their status, they're dead wrong!"

Then she turned back to look at Jabba angrily, "Hey, pull yourself together. This is no longer about you, your master, or my foolish followers. You, a local, are now standing in the middle between two great powers that want what you have, and today you will choose a side!"

"I am taking the side of my homeland. I will fight to the end. I will not let any invader come and take anything... whoever he is!" Jabba shouted forcefully Rread latest chapters at wuxiahere.com

"Idiot! What's a homeland?" The dark soul shard raised its voice slightly, "Is the soil and treasures, or the people who live in it? If everyone you know moves to another place? Will you stay here calling a handful of dirt your home, or will you go after them?"

After a full minute of silence, Jabba had nothing to say except: "...And if I refuse to join you?"

"Oh, You'll join." The dark soul shard responded quickly and with absolute authority, "The breath I wasted talking to you has a price, and its price is submission or destruction."

Jabba stood up and took another step back, the words coming out of Shadow's mouth as if they were absolute truth.

"I gave you excellent terms, if you want more, it means you are overestimating yourself in front of me, and I don't like that..." Then he heard her speak with some anger, "Don't let being a user of the Master Law of Truth get over your head, if we are talking about Master Laws then the Master Law of Truth is the most widespread in the universe in terms of the number of users, and the number of those who have been able to obtain a good position among the Truth Chosen is very small, even throughout history. You are just workers that we Overlords can depend on, good followers who complete the work that takes a year in just a month. But that's all..."

Then she took two steps toward him, "It is true that I would be happy and proud to have a Truth user by my side, but this is no different from me bragging about a fine vase or a carefully trained dog. You will be just an additional ornament on my inevitable throne, was that clear?"

"...What is required of me?"
