Chapter 734 Tavina
A few months ago--
Robin walked alone towards what seemed like the wall that surrounded the world and looked up...
Dark brown trunk, too dark that's almost black extending beyond the horizon, dark red leaves in the shape of skulls covering the sky, and many ropes falling from the top of the tree like those that monkeys hang on to, the difference is that each one of those ropes can be used to measure the dimensions of some small kingdoms, and that oppressive, ugly aura... Even Robin himself felt strangely short of breath as he stood at the foot of that tree
Robin smiled as he looked up, "Tavina, are you going to keep me waiting for long?"
*Krrrr* The clay on the ground began to move and take shape until it finally materialized into the form of Treant, roughly as tall as Robin. "Robin Burton, I see... No, I should now say His Excellency, Robin Burton."
Robin's smile increased, "I was happy when they told me that Tree Father Tavina, the strongest among the seven, decided to surrender. You made a good choice... I would have felt some remorse if your body had turned into a treasure mine as happened with the rest of your friends."
Father Tree Tavina felt mockery in Robin's words, but he did not respond and contented himself with staring into the eyes of the person who subdued him without seeing him once...
He prepared many plans and schemes, he prepared to burn all his refinement, and he was ready to do anything for Robin and his army of invaders to fall! But in the end that damn space portal spewed out a large number of foreign Martial Emperors who came rushing in eager to destroy everything they saw.
Tribe after tribe, tree father after tree father, all fell one after another under the power of the Orphan Blood Emperors and the Warlords... Tavina, the creature who lived for almost two million years, the monster who continued to fight against the other ancient treants and the human tribes all his life, and in the end, he and the planet were subjugated within a few years, during a period not even long enough for the nap he used to take
After the fall of all the human tribes in the alliance and their incorporation into what is now known as the Four Kingdoms, and after the elimination of 4 Tree Fathers and the surrender of two, Tavina continued to resist alone for more than a month, but the inevitable end was getting closer every day... In the end, he decided that the life that he protected for two million years was more important than his pride, so he surrendered in the middle of the last battle.
His immense power tempted Caesar and allowed him to surrender, but he made him swear the toughest soul oath that could be made. He did not become a general like Tree Father Descartes or even an enemy who knew when to surrender like Tree Father Snawist who kept part of his treasures... Tavina's soul oath made him a slave to Caesar and without receiving any promises or any benefits, as all his treasures were taken and he was forced to give up his refinement percentage, all he received was a promise to keep him alive as one of General Descartes' followers.
...When Robin saw that he was not going to respond, he took out a metal plate and threw it towards the avatar lightly, "This is for you, I expect you will be working on it within the next two months, there is no need to rush though, take your time."
Tavina's avatar picked up the tablet and inserted his soul sense directly into it, "...This, is this even possible?!" He only looked again at Robin's face, this time with a look filled with amazement
This small tablet contains information that could fill several volumes, but to make it short, it has a method for the Tree Father to compress his Energy Gathering Center and his Soul Domain into a smaller size and bring them closer to each other.
What good would it do him if he did something like this? If he could create an avatar that contained both a Soul Domain and an Energy Gathering Center, wouldn't this be his complete body?! What more would he want? His true body as a tree would be just a husk he left behind!
"Awesome huh? Have you ever thought about it? I spent a long time with Evergreen thinking about a solution. Your return to Earth made your real bodies one with the planet and inseparable. In the end, the idea of this technique, or you may say this *trick* haha, it can make you leave the earth and move again, but it still has some problems like you have to re-attach yourself to your original body every once in a while to recharge your lifeline, or as you will still feel that you belong to the earth and try to create a huge tree body for yourself wherever you go, you know, these kinda problems~ These problems and a few others will be left to you and your two brothers though, I won't spend any more of my time on this matter."
*Bam* Tavina's avatar got down on both knees and muttered unconsciously, "...You call these problems? You call these problems... I can move again? I..." Tree Father Tavina's Soul Domain was extremely unstable right now.
Descartes had previously told them about Robin's promise, but no one believed him, nor did he expect to receive something like this after he surrendered humiliatingly in the middle of the battle. He is technically a slave now!
"It would be a waste for a good soldier like you to remain tied to the ground while I fight on other planets. Get up and follow me. I will wait to hear from you." Robin smiled, "And of course, you don't mind if we cut a few branches from your real body every now and then, right?"
"..." Tavina looked up into Robin's eyes for a few moments, then straightened up to get down on one knee, "You'll only hear what pleases you."

Meanwhile -- The Great Line Between the southern region and the central region
General Parrs moved his finger, and Father Tree Tavina moved his hand forward slightly
"...." Tavina remained focused on General Parrs as if he were a beast waiting to attack a rappit. If it were not for the strict instructions he received to avoid doing any major damage, he would have crushed him like a cockroach by now.
"What the hell do you want? Are we going to fight or not?!" General Parrs lost his patience and pulled out his weapon
*Brrrrshh* The fingers of Father Tree's right hand quickly extended and turned into five long lashes, then with the strong voice of the giant treant was heard, "Stand still... or die..."
"Keh!!" Without realizing it, General Parrs had already taken a few steps back. The aura of that thing gave him strong indications of danger. He truly felt that if he approached, he might actually die!!
At the back, Seagal placed both hands above his head, "...What should we do? Brother Parrs won't survive if the battle erupts with that thing, should we go help him?"
General Dirit almost broke his molars from the pressure, but he quickly calmed down and furrowed his eyebrows slightly, trying to analyze the situation. In the end, this is the reason that prompted the other four to choose him as the leader of this army.
When Seagal saw his relative in a state of concentration, he left him and went back to looking out the window in horror. The chaos outside was deadly
The ground battle was not bad, although the ratio was 3 to one in favor of the locals, the army of the Great Snake Empire was still standing and fighting fiercely.
The Battleground below them was still part of the Great Line, full of poisonous gases, swamps, and dangerous creatures, but the massive battle had erased all of this from existence. There were only bodies, both alive and dead, and underneath them was only scorched soil.
A tie, of course, is not what should be expected from a battle against a group of locals, but it is not the worst outcome.
What's really bad is what happens in the aerial battle.
"AAh!"
*Bam* *Bam* *Bam*
150 emperors fighting at the same time, and the results of 150 separate battles did not look very promising. There were already several cases of serious injuries among the emperors of the Great Snake Empire.
The difference here is that when a Martial Emperor from the locals is injured, a space vortex opens behind him and he disappears into it, and then another one comes out to continue the battle in his place!!
But when a Martial Emperor from the Great Serpent Empire is injured, he tries to only defend and retreat so that he has time to heal himself, and this only causes him to be injured more.
If the situation continues like this...
After a few minutes, Seagal finally heard General Dirit's voice, "...We are fighting the unknown and we do not know how many there are. So far 150 Emperors from the locals have appeared because we took out 150 Emperors. They sent 1.5 million soldiers because they knew that they were enough to balance against our ground army. We are in complete darkness while they read us as the pages of a book... We must find the place they come from and destroy it!
