940 Truth about Aro
Orphan Blood Planet-- On the Edge of a High Mountain--
*Bzzzz*
Flora came out of an instant space portal, and Robin came out after her, after that, the two of them started looking around for different reasons.
Robin was watching the beautiful view that he had never seen before, the cliff was so high that crimson clouds were floating beneath it, the breathable air here was extremely thin and the red sun appearing between the clouds was contributing to making the atmosphere above the cliff even more red and suffocating, and when it comes to the law of bloodlust then this point without a doubt is the most intense place on the planet...
"A place that combines apparent beauty and hidden ugliness, nice!" Robin nodded as he looked towards the clouds, this level of the bloodlust law could not affect him.
"....." Flora was looking around for something else, until finally she pointed in a certain direction, "There he is!"
In that direction was the only tree on top of the mountain, dark brown in color, leafless, and red sap coming out of its branches as if it was bleeding, its appearance was terrifying, but Flora wasn't pointing at the tree, but the one sitting under it.
*Ba-dum* Fear crept into Flora's heart, then she quickly looked at Robin, he only told her that he needed to see Aro, could it be that he came to kill him?! Flora secretly began to move her energy around her body and burn her blood, if Aro had to die, she would die with him today.
Robin of course noticed but smiled and opened his mouth, ".....When I heard what the leader of the locals did on The Orphan Blood Planet, that he's a crazy person who sacrifices his army in wave after wave of unsuccessful warfare just to stop the demons in their city, then I saw for myself your energy gathering centers and how you eliminated entire races of citizens with no return except for cramming the demons into the city, I felt surprised, that leader of the locals is destroying his own population, something that the Demons themselves were told not to do, and he did it in record time!" Robin spoke as he spoke in the red clouds, "After I talked to Flora and she told me that you, the leader of the locals, are a person of chivalry and honesty and that you are respected by everyone and that kind of bullshit, I told myself that you are just a hypocritical fraud who knew that the war was not in your favor so you decided to destroy your followers and rely on the harsh method of sacrifice so that you would not be defeated directly, even though you could have just surrendered and made your terms."
"...." Aro maintained his silence, but his fingers that remained calm, began to shake.
"But this belief was shaken once again... During my last conversation with Caesar, he told me that most of the survivors of Planet Orphan Blood were people who carried the bloodline of the Lightning Bull and the Red Flame Dragon. How likely was it that something like this would happen in a planetary war of this scale?" Robin propped his chin on his fingers calmly, "Then I remembered that the first race you ordered to sacrifice was a race with a strong affinity for the Minor Heavenly Law of Wood, the natural enemy of lightning! I remembered that the tribes that were sacrificed were not random and no offspring were left behind but were completely exterminated by your order ~for the greater good of course~"
"I also heard that during the Great Serpent Empire's raid, all those who remain in big cities were exterminated, let me guess, you were the one who ordered them to stand their ground against the invaders right? Meanwhile, the Lightning Bull Tribe and your sweetheart tribe the Red Flame Dragon were smuggled out in secret, and according to the report, there were a few individuals from other races among them, most likely they were families of the Thirty Martial Emperors who accompanied you everywhere... Is that how you were ensuring their loyalty?"
"After putting all the dots in the picture, I no longer know whether the legendary genius, the leader of the locals, is actually a chivalrous person who would do anything for his comrades, or a hypocrite who wants to maintain an image of honor by any means even if it means killing everyone around him, or..." At this moment, a big smile appeared on Robin's face and he slowly turned towards Aro, "...A two-faced weasel who exploited the wars in the most hideous way possible."
*Crack* *Crack*
When Robin turned around, he found Aro had already done so, lightning moving on all his limbs and his expression turning extremely ugly, "Your Excellency, Planetary Emperor Robin Burton, with all due respect... You should know when to shut your fuckin' mouth."
