Chapter 754 The truth about the Third
"Cooperation? What is there between you and me that we can cooperate on?" Jabba took another step back
"Relax, putting distance between us will do you no good. Even if you go to the end of the world, you will still be at my mercy." The dark soul shard laughed as she saw Jabba retreating in fear, and then her features turned serious, "Honestly, I want the energy pearls from this planet, and I will get them, and you will help me."
"So you really are the one behind the half-snake bastards!!" Jabba stopped backing away and looked into Shadow's eyes with some anger, "You're the reason for everything that happens to us, you're the reason for---!!"
Jabba almost shouted that it was the reason for turning life on the planet into hell, but compared to what is happening today and 50 years ago, the planet has actually evolved and has not really turned into hell, even HIS status has differed like heaven and earth. Perhaps the only ones who can say that they have tasted hell are the Giant race... Does he still count as one of them?
Jabba did not know what to say, so he continued with: "...Your followers are the reason for killing millions of people in the central region and displacing billions from their homes! Cooperation? You just need my help to loot my world after you killed its inhabitants, You are asking me to be a traitor!"
The Dark Soul Shard took a few steps around the table with her hands behind her back, then said in a quiet, vague voice something Jabba never thought he would ever hear, "You're right, things shouldn't have gone this way."
"W-- what?" Jabba was shocked
Then the dark soul fragment continued, "I know that the reckless Pythor and his army are not ideal followers by any means. They are mostly beasts who love the sight of blood and feel that any other being is inferior to them. When they see a new planet, instead of trying to negotiate with its inhabitants and perhaps start a successful trade -like your master is doing- they begin the process of extermination immediately, and the invasion turns from simply setting foot on a planet and depleting its resources into a war of extermination in which one of the two sides must die. This dragged them into long-term wars on several different planets and delayed their development by several thousand years. It is foolishness!"
Jabba listened, eyes wide open, shocked.
"Alright fair enough, now we have a direction to talk around." The dark soul shard clapped, "How about I give you your planet then?"
"...What do you mean?" Jabba pushed himself off the ground to only sit on his knees
"Just to make sure before I continue, you're not the one controlling the rest of the planet, right?" The Dark Soul shard asked with slightly furrowed eyebrows
She came bearing in mind that the Fourth Truth Chosen, Jabba son of Thandor, was the one conducting the war on Nihari, but when she came to meet him and happened to see that meeting it occurred to her that the *facts* that Pythor had told her were not entirely true.
Jabba waited a moment and then opened his mouth, "...No, I have no power anywhere other than the Eastern Region. The rest of the planet falls under His Excellency's authority except for the northern region, I don't know what's going on there..." This was common knowledge anyway, any soldier who saw the Shadow Swords would know that His Excellency was the one wielding it
"His Excellency? What a title, and is this His Excellency the Third Truth Chosen, that is, your master?" The dark soul shard smiled
"correct." Jabba nodded
"Let me guess... That person is not from this planet, and he is the one who brought you these space portals, these techniques, and these engraved epic weapons." The black soul fragment asked with some curiosity
"...Yes." This was also general information.
"Hah~ Now the picture is starting to become clear..." The Dark Soul Shard took a few steps towards the balcony, "This *Third* Truth Chosen works under the command of a middle planetary belt Overlord, and is the one who discovered this amazing planet and gave him its coordinates to seize its resources! No wonder... I bet he's selling you techniques and weapons at sky-high prices. I don't know who that Overlord is, but I'm a little jealous, he chose a good follower, much better than those scumbags I chose randomly just because there was a beast using a minor destruction law on their planet."
"No... His Excellency doesn't think that way!" Jabba looked down, his forehead beginning to drip a lot of sweat
