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*

*Boom*

The clouds that seemed to have come from the bottom of Hell disintegrated and vanished, the lightning bolts that were ready to turn the entire central region into ash exploded from within and disappeared into thin air, and even the tongues of lava and groundwater coming from below collapsed and returned to the cracks they came from… The Doomsday disappeared as if it were a dream!

*clack* *clack*

The sky immediately started to thunder again, and this time the heavenly laws in the entire central region began to become violently disturbed.

“Calm down little girl, I’m just here to have a look, I won’t mess with anything… I think~” The shadow returned to placing both hands behind his back and scanned his surroundings with his luminous eyes that seemed as if they could penetrate anything and his soul sense that easily enveloped the entire central region with ease.

“Hmm?” The shadow raised its eyebrows slightly, then disappeared.

The next time he appeared, he was standing inside a large zone that could hold an entire village, that zone was closed from all sides like some kind of an underground cavity or a have inside a mountain that had not yet been discovered. Despite this, the place was not dark, but rather bright, as if it had its own sun.

The shadow approached one of the huge illuminated pillars in the middle of the cave and smiled… Everything here was covered with energy pearls.

The walls, the ceiling, the floor, and those huge pillars, everything was naturally composed of energy pearls that had never been used before… The shadow looked around in amazement. If this cave appeared on any of the neutral planets in the middle planetary belt, it would ignite battles that would claim countless lives!

“There are no less than 300,000 pearls in this cave alone. If this planet is left intact until it is promoted to the middle planetary belt, then I am afraid that small kingdoms like myself will not dream of setting foot in it. Only those Sects and Star Academies can compete for it…” The shadow murmured, smiling, showing his luminous teeth, “It seems that little snake wasn’t exaggerating, after all, my trip here isn’t wasted.” Then he gently extended his hand towards the wall.

*Rumble* The atmosphere inside the cave suddenly became extremely heavy, and a childish voice was heard, “If you touch anything, this incarnation of yours will stay here with me forever.”

The shadow stopped his hand midway and replied in a cold voice, “…You will not get out of this confrontation without losses, just be obedient and watch from the side.”

“There’s nothing for you here. Go back to where you came from.” The childish voice came out again

“Hahaha, whether this is for me or not is none of your business. Go back and do something useful and leave the game to the players…” The shadow laughed loudly, of course, he knew who he was talking to!

“If the player is a cheater, I have the right to intervene.” The childish voice spoke as an extremely gloomy law began to gather around the black shadow densely, “This is your final warning.”

“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.”
