Half an hour later--the stricken city of Jura
*Bzzzzzt*
*Bzzzzzt Bzzzzzt*
"Master, please do not take what just happened personally. They did not plan to betray you because you are bad or because you deserve this, but rather they are trying to do what is in their interest and the interest of their families. I mean, you have the right to be angry because they disagreed with you, but please do try to understand the situation from their point of view at least, and don't overreact, they are just trying to live the life you granted them..." After Jabba's first step as he exited the gate, he spoke quickly.
These words he had been suppressing in his chest since they came out of that hall and until they reached the portal in the central administrative square in the City of Hope, but he did not dare to utter a word for fear that Robin would think that he was trying to prevent him from leaving or that he was taking the side of the *rebels*
Although he thought about his words well and carefully selected them all the way from the hall to Jura, he felt guilt as they came out of his mouth, his voice gradually decreased until it completely disappeared, and the rest of the words that he was getting ready to say seemed to be lost forever.
When he heard his own words, he realized how ridiculous he was.. he realized that he was trying to justify treason!
It does not matter how and in what context what happened, they are subordinate, disobeying a direct command from their superior... That is it.
Whether they did it for the sake of their families or their own good, or really to protect the planet, as they say, it doesn't matter... they put aside everything Robin has done for them and chose to rebel.
He gave them everything and they refused to help him get revenge for his wife, they refused to even help him rescue his son...
No matter how intense Robin's reaction is now, no words can calm him, not even another panic attack from Billy...
"Give me your orders, I will gather all the Demons at once and destroy the entire northern region, we will devour every giant our eyes see, we will not leave a stone standing in its place until you tell us that your anger has subsided!" Amon spoke in a strong tone
In the past, the demons were driven around like sheep and used by the giants to control the numbers of the other intelligent races, and they themselves and their sons were subjected to systematic killing without even knowing!
Ever since that day when Robin told Amon what was really going on and gave him a spiritual sense, when they knew what happened to their ancestors and cubs... the demons' hearts turns to an ember of fire and ice whenever the race of giants was mentioned in front of them!
And the thing is, they are now not what they used to be.. the Demons are no longer a weak or disabled race to take this as it is and shut up about it
The only thing that prevents them from taking their revenge after gaining all the power they currently have as a race... is Robin!
The way the giant chiefs talk to Amon now is more than enough to start a war between the two races, and even without any reason, if Robin gives permission, the demons will happily attack the giant race, and this time it would be their personal revenge!
"YOU..!!" When Jabba heard this, he almost lost his balance.
Wasn't it enough for Amon what is happening now, he wants to make matters worse?!
As for Robin himself, it seemed as if he was in another world hearing their words. It had been about a minute since they spoke, but he did not utter a word to respond to them.
He only looked in front of him towards a big pile of ruins, it was his old palace, the one that was built shortly before his departure, and did not find enough time to enjoy it, his palace Which Mila designed and supervised its construction, but it was destroyed beyond recovery in the invasion of the city...
And after another minute at last he spoke in a cold, low voice, "...Do you see me angry?"
*Baa Baa*
Jabba's heart pounded like a hammer when he heard these words in that tone, his features turned for the worse as if he had just heard the news of the death of a loved one!
Then he looked next to him at Amon, who all the time seemed to have rigid features like a corpse, but even he seemed worried as well.
That faint voice, a controlled breathing rate, a steady heartbeat... everything about Robin really suggests that he's not angry, he's not even a little mad!
This was not normal!!!
He just lost his chance for revenge, he lost his only hope in rescuing his son, he lost the sect he had spent 22 years strengthening, he lost the eastern region that was united under his name and he made an unprecedented achievement in all of history that one person could control all these lands in peace and without having to fight every other living creature in the planet...
He just lost everything that has to do with Nihari, the planet for which he left his family from the beginning, and he lost it with a stab in the back at that and not in a battle or by luck... How is it possible that he is not angry?!
"This..." At that moment, Jabba wanted to retract all his words and advise him to vent his anger!!
He finally understood what he saw, This condition was not strange to Robin... This is very similar to his condition after he heard the story of his wife's death, his condition in which he entered that mountain, and immediately after that, he declared war on two planets!
His condition right now is dangerous, very dangerous.
Even if Robin had ordered him to gather an army now to attack the sect or to assassinate a few elders to vent his anger, he wouldn't have hesitated for a moment in execution!
But to his surprise, Robin continued speaking in the same cold tone, "I'm going to take a walk around to smell some fresh air, I think I need this... You both can go help Billy conquer the Continent of the Flame Empire, and tell him to also slow down and reduce losses, I no longer need the army of the Demons in a couple of months... and when you are done, send me a message via the voice ring to find a place to meet, okay?"
"Don't worry, Master, I will bring you the Flame Emperor's head under your feet as soon as possible." Speak quickly
"No need... you and Sakar feed on him, you both deserve this," Robin replied in his calm voice
"...Alright, everything will be done according to your wish." Jabba and Amon looked at each other and spoke almost at the same time.
"Good... Good..." Robin muttered twice, then began to step forward slowly, very slowly as if injured...
Someone with his strength and knowledge of the space path could easily have disappeared in an instant, but it took over a quarter of an hour or so for his shape to fade behind the ruins of the city.
"That doesn't look good.." Finally, Jabba spoke after he lost sight of Robin, "His state of mind was already bad before he went to Nihari and his only motive for moving forward was revenge, now look at him! Is he just going to walk around and smell fresh air until we bring down the Flame Empire? Who knows how long this will take? ...I'm starting to fear for him."
"You are overthinking, Master has the brightest and sharpest of minds, He can walk as much as he likes, This continent has no longer a single person capable of threatening my master anyway," Amon replied with a raspy voice
Jabba turned back to look before him to where Robin had disappeared and muttered, "Oh, But there is one..."
"WHO? Who can hurt my master on this continent? I will go kill him right now?" Amon spot out agitated
"...It is the Master himself."
