Lord of the Truth - 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.

“I do not plan for them, nor do I even communicate with them. The last contact I had with young Pythor was 10,000 years ago when I gave him a few techniques and equipment. After that, he behaves as he pleases and brings offerings to my followers every few years… Please do not make the mistake of thinking that I am saying this to absolve myself of responsibility, No, a large part of the reason for their brutal behavior is due to the poor blood transfusion device I gave them.”

“This…” Jabba didn’t know what to say, “Did you just apologize for invading Nihari?”

“Me? No, not at all. In my view, you are all worthless lowlifes. your death or your life makes no difference to me. I’m just saying that we have another way.” The dark soul fragment laughed,

“…And what is this path?” Jabba gritted his teeth. Now he no longer knows how to read the person in front of him. One moment she seems to be justifying her position and the next she is saying the most arrogant thing that could be said.

“Follow me.” The dark soul fragment turned to face him, “Even if you are using the Master Law of Truth as a secondary path, you are still wasting your talents in a place like this. Follow me and you will get a good place and a better life, and you will definitely expand your horizons and see things you have never seen before. I see that you have a space portal inside this city, I will give you coordinates to a planet in the middle planetary belt, and it will take you to me immediately.”

“Hey, hey, hey!!” Jabba raised both hands, “…Maybe we should meet for lunch a few times first before making that move?”

*Whoosh*

*Bam*

The eyes of the dark soul shard glowed red for less than a second. In that short moment, Jabba felt his soul leaving his body and returning again, he landed on both his hands and feet, panting with his eyes wide open.

“You’re pushing your luck too much!!” The childish voice echoed like thunder, but only the dark Soul Fragment heard it.

“Calm down, little one, I only showed a little bit of killing intent and he fell by himself, I still haven’t touched him.” The Black Soul Fragment chuckled, then took a few steps toward Jabba, “Let’s avoid sarcastic comments from now on, shall we?”

“Haa.. Haa…” Jabba gasped hard, then clenched both hands tightly, “I… I will not leave my homeland behind burning and go anywhere!!”

“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
