Chapter 161 - The Big Picture

With only 9 months left until the agreed date for the start of the war, Robin found himself facing a huge dilemma

How to Upgrade a Major heavenly Law...

Had he not known that he would face a great trial after the war by moving to another planet and that he might not return again, he wouldn't have looked in that direction for now... actually, he might have even ignored Caesar's feeling for good and have him stay as the head of the fire legion.

But as long as there is even a small possibility that he will not return again, he must arrange his affairs here first...

If he isn't here to look after his kid, then he at least have to leave him strong and confident enough, he has to stay as an important asset to the family and not be another knight among many, or the days wouldn't be kind to him after he disappears...

had he not literally owed his life to the all-seeing God, he would not have accepted this impossible mission even if he promised him rivers of gold... But this is life, nothing is free.

He knew that this favor would come back to bite him later, he just didn't think it would be too soon, and too big of a bite...

Taking it seriously, two weeks passed quickly.

On the last day of the two weeks, Robin came out of his room, which was emitting intense light, and called for Caesar to come in a hurry.

Half an hour later... 

Caesar entered Robin's palace smiling, "Father, I was told you wanted me? I haven't seen you in a while, how are you?"

"sat down," Robin replied without emotions and pointed to the chair in front of him

"...is there a problem?"

Robin rubbed his forehead, "I have a feeling that you are not satisfied with distributing your technique to the entire Fire legion, I feel like you want to be special..."

"Hah? This is absolutely not true, I like the fact that there are so many like me now and we can communicate and compete with each other haha" Caesar replied without hesitation

"I can make you special again."

"Is that really possible?!" Caesar cut his laugh and responded quickly

"I can't believe you were really thinking that way! Haven't you grown up yet?!" Robin stood up, took a quick step, and slapped Caesar's head

"Damn, what do you want me to do? can't I be a little selfish?" Caesar responded while patting the place of the strike

Robin returned to his seat, "..you may feel selfish about something that is valuable, but the major heavenly law of fire? What is it? It is just a low level law, even if it's perfect it is still nothing! 

I wanted to give you something much better after shaping our bodies, but then the all-seeing god's warning destroyed my plans for you, and stopped my train of thoughts when he said that you are stuck with the path of fire forever.. now Theo has a better law than you and Zara has a better law than you both!"

"But it's what I got! And you wanted to make things worse and put the technique in everyone's hands? You should've left it to me! Even if it's a low-level law at least it's still the most powerful offensive law technique on the planet right now..." Caesar muttered as he looked at his foot.

"Planet? Fool... don't you remember the words of the all-seeing god in the cave? We only live on a nascent planet, do you know that concept is this? we are ants, what is the use if you are a stronger ant?!

what's the use if I delay the strengthening of the family and make you unrivaled in this nascent planet? would you feel proud of yourself? When another planet invades us, I tell them to wait and come fight with Caesar one on one first, and if you lose, go back to where you came from? Do you see this happening?

And frankly, I'm not sure you'll win even if it does happen... A law technique like the Fire heavenly law perfect technique must be sold on the sidewalks in the stronger planets.

Our only hope in living in freedom or dying with our dignity if another planet decided to attack us is to strengthen the family as a whole... and if we are blessed and not conquered till we die of old age, then you will still live with your head held high as you are part of a pack of lions controlling the whole planet, instead of living alone jumping like a clown looking for opponents to fight... 

....or that's What I was thinking at least.

But I felt that perhaps even a pack of lions would need a unique leader to suppress them... Listen, a method has formed in my head that can make you unique, not only on this planet but those who are like you in the entire universe can be counted on one hand, 

and I promise I will not give it to another creature, it will need direct intervention from me and from Zara anyway to call it a success.."

"Really?!" Caesar almost jumped from his seat, he almost gave up already due to Robin's speech and the idea of ​​merging with the herd had already begun to form in his head...

"Don't be happy yet.. that comes with taxes!" Robin shook his head with a laugh and then continued, "Your new technique will be unique and complex, which means that I will be late in making advanced stages for it, there is a good chance that all of your peers will out-level you in cultivation for this reason"

"No problem, even if they get past me I will still beat them up! But what exactly is that technique? Tell me what's going to happen...?"

Then Robin continued, waving his hands, "Beat them u-..?! Alright Mr. exited, let me explain something here, I said I'd make you unique but I never said I'd make you stronger, honestly, I don't know what those adjustments would do to you, you might get even weaker."

"...I have no problem with this, I am very strong anyway and I always felt that I need something to hold me back a little." Caesar hit himself on the chest

In Caesar's mind, he has already made his choice... As long as the idea of ​​strengthening the family as a whole is in Robin's head, there is no problem if he himself remains as strong anyway, or even a little weaker, there will be many more knights to replace him if he even got crippled in the process... 

the black sheep's position in the herd is still better than the current situation.

"0_o" Robin didn't even find what to say, Caesar was seriously wanting to stand out, but he sighed and continued, "You have already set up your Pillars and reached level 14, to adjust that I will have to use the foundation modification technique on you, but I'll need to dramatically adjust the technique first to make it work on your situation...

And because what will be modified is not of the same law with which you set your pillars, you will feel real agony throughout the process, I can't even describe that pain, I can only say that what you have suffered all your life as a warrior will not compare to your first cry when we start, and after we start we won't be able to stop... do you still want to do it?"

"And since when does pain scare me? That's the last thing I can care about!" Caesar proud

"I'll see how long you are going to act this brave.. well it is settled now, go now and isolate yourself in a long seclusion, start clearing your mind and gathering energy in your body, you'll need every bit of help when we start the first session... two months from today bring Zara, Theo, and Peon and come here ." After the last word, Robin got up and went back to his secret underground room

"Oh? Just two months to make a technique like this? Looks like you've been planning this for years but you've been hiding it to surprise me! Haha Alright, see you in two months." Caesar quickly walked out the door

Robin smiled seeing his son acting this happily, then shook his head and headed towards his room again

-------------------------

After closing the door behind him, the intense light returned to the room and a voice echoed after, "What have you decided?"

"He wants to do it..." Robin replied calmly on his way to his chair

"Haha, I told you he will say yes no matter how much you try to scare him, kids don't care about the big picture, in fact, you should be like him!"

Robin gave a weak chuckle, " he is a good kid... I hope this last gift will turn out to be a good one.... let's continue!"
