Chapter 834: Backlash
"No! Get back here you son of a bitch!!" Holak felt his mind about to collapse as he saw Robin tearing through space, he pulled his hand back and unleashed a punch at him with all his might
*Paa*
*Bzzzzt* *Shaa*
The punch that carried the power of someone who had surpassed the physical limits of physical strength shattered space, every tree and every pebble in its path buckled and turned to dust, but unfortunately for him, Robin had already jumped into the space crack and disappeared.
"NOOOO!!!" Hulak stomped his foot on the ground a few times *Paa*
*Baa* *Baa*, "How dare that filthy bastard put me in this situation? It will be my end!!" "Haa... Haa..." Holak took a few more seconds to calm down, then automatically glanced at the three marshals and tried to force a smile on his face, "Gentlemen, there's no need to take his words seriously, he's just trying to drive a wedge between us, I'm a local as you can see while he's a lowly self-entitled invader like you, how can I be an obedient officer under his command? I'm open to all kinds of agreements haha."
"..." The marshals heard every word but did not respond, all of them were currently raising their weapons and looking at him as if they were looking at an ancient beast, it was not a look of fear but of anticipation and respect.
The true fear was evident in every member of the Great Serpent Empire's army though, their experience in war told them that if this punch was directed towards them, it would wipe out a few thousand soldiers before they could stop it!
The aura that Holak had shown before did not do him justice, only when he unleashed this punch did everyone know what they were up to!
Marshal Xanox was the first to react, he looked to his right at First Marshal Celebos and whispered, "...This power is comparable to His Majesty Pythor and that silver tree, what do we do?"
Marshal Serpal clenched both of his hands tightly, "Damn it, what is wrong with this damn planet?!"
Within a few minutes, they encountered two who could unleash the same power as His Majesty Planetary Emperor Pythor, a half-step World Cataclysm Domain!
A person with this kind of power was treated with the utmost respect and appreciation even among mid-range armies!!
"If we cooperate, we can stop him, and our army can kill the rest of them even more easily, they barely have 600 Martial Emperors between them, we have around 1500, nothing to be afraid of here, but..." But the First Marshal didn't seem intimidated, "If he's really willing to cooperate, then I don't see a problem."
"He's not willing to do anything, he's just wasting our time until the Third Truth Chosen and his army go to the rest of the planets to fight our comrades and come back!" Marshal Xanox sent a glance toward Holak, "Didn't you listen to him? He doesn't want to surrender, he just wants to talk!"
"I agree with Brother Xanox." Marshal Serpal also nodded
"Well that's something that will be easy to test..." Marshal Celipos smiled, then shouted towards Hulak, "Hey, You said you wanted to make a deal?"
"Yes!" Holak replied directly
What First Marshal Celepos said was also naturally noticed by him, his strength wouldn't be of much use against the three of them using a Minor law of the destruction path!
The First Marshal looked into Holak's eyes seriously, "Good, then I have one offer, join us and surrender the Northern Egde Mountain, and in return choose the promise you want and I will make it happen, everything is on the table! Perfect techniques, epic weapons, I can take you to the Middle Planetary Belt right away, you can even take a higher rank than me in the Great Serpent Empire if you want to stay!"
"Marshal!!" Serpal and Xanox shouted at the same time. The First Marshal Celepus's position was simply too high, higher than even the princes, he was His Majesty's friend and companion in war and peace before he met the Supreme Lord!
But from the First Marshal's point of view, if Holak accepted this unanswerable offer, everyone would end up happy today. Firstly, getting the support of the king of the locals and the most powerful of them is the same as getting the support of all the locals, which means that they won't have to kill them all and it will be a great help in extracting the planet's resources!
Secondly, getting the help of someone as powerful as His Majesty Paythor will double their upper strength and they will be able to crush rival planetary empires in the Young Planetary Belt with ease, if they get this kind of power and resources with him by their side, what's the problem if he gives him a higher position than him?
Thirdly and most importantly... he will need to seclude himself for a very long time to refine the spirit of Planet Nihari, meaning that he won't receive orders from this local until he leaves his seclusion, and after he leaves, he will be the owner of the planet and regain his position as the second man after Paythor!!
"What's wrong with all of you people... I told that fugitive bastard and I'll say it again, I don't want to join anyone, and the Northern Egde Mountain is out of any agreement." Holak remained silent for a moment after that before he started scratching his head uncomfortably, "How about we choose something else, huh? We have plenty of energy pearls and rare minerals, okay?"
The First Marshal nodded twice, the look in his eyes turning cold, then raised his hand, "He really intends to waste our time, no need to say another word, attack."
"CHAAAARGE!"
*crack* *crack*
"You bastard... you damnable little bastard...!!" Holak looked angrily towards the spot where Robin had disappeared, then shouted loudly, "Brother Crixus, it seems our fate will be in our own hands as usual, come on let's slaughter those bastards and then slaughter the biggest
bastard later!!"
*Rumble*
*Paa* *Paa* *Paa*
The sound of wing flapping made First Marshal Celebos look towards the horizon, he found the wyvern, Crixus The Great, coming towards them quickly, his eyes flashing with killing intent and his mouth dripping with blue lava saliva...
The Marshal's eyes widened at that moment, the sight of that huge entity approaching him reminded him of the majesty of Durger the Devourer.
At that moment he began to think that winning today might not be as easy as he expected.
*Bzzzzt*
Robin emerged from a space rift a thousand miles away from the battle site, in an open valley with no one around, and immediately grabbed his head and dropped to his knees, "Argh!!"
A headache was about to kill him, his Soul Domain was shaking violently as if someone was hammering it!
"Haaa.. Haaa.." Only after about an hour did Robin regain his balance a little. He sat leaning against a tree trunk, "Evergreen, what happened to me? I was trying to use my full soul force to crush that marshal's soul domain, but I ended up getting injured myself!" "Reckless! Why didn't you use one of the offensive soul techniques you created?" Evergreen's voice echoed in his mind, "I can't believe you tried to use your raw soul force to attack, what are the techniques for then?! you even activated the Golden Eye of Truth!! Aren't you afraid that someone undesirable like the spirit of this planet might see it? Please stop showing it off like it's something ordinary!!"
"Hee... Hehe... What, are you afraid that other planet spirits will lust after me too?... Anyway, I wanted it to have a huge impact, If I could kill a Marshall by simply displaying my soul force, the rest would have run away in fear. I might have been able to catch a few of them with Spirit Creature Hoffenheim, causing even greater chaos and losses... But it ended up being me who quickly retreated!!" Robin pressed his left hand to his head, "What happened? Why couldn't I display my soul force? Why did this kind of backlash occur?"
"Humph! There are many laws that limit the levels of power in the Young Planetary Belt. For example, there is a limit that prevents the display or use of any law above the fourth stage, so it is extremely difficult to break through to the World Cataclysm Realm using internal energy. The same goes for the Divine Tattoo system and even your disciple's body strengthening array since they need Runes of different stages of laws to work." Evergreen's voice was heard again, "As for what you experienced a moment ago, it is the limits of soul force..."
