Chapter 908: Explosive message
Planet Greenland -- Within Robin's Soul Domain
*Repeat*
The silver Soul Domain floor part slowly began to rise, forming a cone-like shape resembling a small volcano about two meters high
*Swoosh*
From the crater of that small volcano, several thin silver ropes like threads came out, and at the end of each one of them was a hook.
•
"Wooow!!"
These hooks wrapped around the nearest primal soul orb playing around and gently pulling it until the primal soul orb settled directly above the small crater, then:
*TZZZZ*
From inside the crater came out a small conical thing and began to pierce the primordial spirit from below "Eehhh!!"
*Droop*
A drop of white soul force slowly descended along the drill and settled on the ground of the soul domain, and the next drop would not fall until several hours had passed.
*Droop* *Droop* *Droop*
But that drop wasn't the only one that landed at that moment, next to that small volcano were hundreds of others similar to it standing at equal distances, all of them the same shape, carrying the same white primal soul and working on the same drill!
"Huh~ Alright, Spirit Altar No. 563 is done, next!" Robin's soul embodiment stretched out as he finished his work and felt the soul force starting to seep down from that volcano, then focused on the next spot!
"Tsk~" Evergreen was leaning against an apple tree on the side, she didn't seem too impressed with what was going on.
"Hey, would you stop that? You're not helping here!" Robin looked a little angry, those little sounds that Evergreen was making pierced his ear every now and then, making him lose focus. "Can YOU stop this nonsense?!" As if Evergreen had finally found the right opportunity, she quickly stood up and pointed towards the altars, "What exactly are those? You have not one but TWO Master Laws but you're afraid of a few unconscious Primal Souls? What kind of planetary emperor are you? You're supposed to raise your neck, puff out your chest, and destroy anything that stands in front of you with a single headbutt!"
She had been really irritated for the past few days when she heard Robin talking about how destroying all those souls one by one and absorbing them would take him a long time, she was ready to enjoy the show as Robin destroyed a large number of them at once and laughed with majesty and madness. But instead, he started making altars to slowly and steadily extract energy from them!!
"Pfft... you're describing a bull, not a planetary emperor." Robin laughed when he heard Evergreen, "An emperor is someone who walks steadily and builds his empire wisely, that's the quality of any ruler, but the madman you're describing is good to be the hero of a children's novel where he goes to save his girlfriend from the crazy rich guy!"
"I didn't want a lecture from you, you know what I mean!!" Evergreen stamped her foot, embarrassed and angry at the same time.
Robin laughed and shook his head, then started working on the next altar, but this time he didn't completely ignore Evergreen so she wouldn't make those annoying sounds again, hearing her voice speak was a hundred times better for him, so he asked, "Did you think I should continue destroying them directly as I did with the first one?"
"Isn't that more logical?" Evergreen folded her arms across her chest and tilted her head forward, "You were talking about how destroying the primal souls would take a long time, but here you are taking a slower approach! How long would it take you to set up a slaughterhouse for all those primal souls? At your pace it would take at least two to three months, and how many years would it take to completely drain them if you continued at the same pace? Are you kidding me?!"
"...What exactly is wrong with you planetary spirits?!" Robin looked back for a moment, surprised by the stupidity of what he heard, but he didn't continue and looked straight ahead, talking too much wouldn't help.
"Ugh!!" Evergreen stamped her foot on the ground again in annoyance.
He really didn't understand how planetary spirits work, sometimes he felt like they were very smart and sometimes he felt like they were children who only saw superficial things
.
But whenever he got this feeling he remembered Juri's words that planetary spirits were designed to resemble little children no matter how old they were, and this is so that their owners would feel a desire to protect them and establish a personal relationship with them like a little sister or daughter.
This means that they are often just children who have information, but most of the time they can't process that information and make the right choice on their own!
"..." When Robin thought about this he nodded to himself, this makes some sense.
If they were smart and could make decisions on their own they wouldn't need an owner to restrain them, and also their owner would always be afraid of them all the time!
After Robin reached this conclusion, he smiled and began to answer, "Anyway... I thought that the direct destruction approach would take months as just a preliminary estimate, it could take much less or much more! The reason is that I felt immediate changes in the soul demon after that orb was detonated, the change was very apparent, especially in the spot where the primal soul was destroyed."
"...I asked myself what would happen if I continued. What would happen to a hungry person if they continued to eat non-stop? Even demons get stuffed, you know... Will I reach a point where there are so many changes in my soul domain that I have to stop and try to digest everything and distribute it evenly?"
At that moment, he looked back, "Or worse, what if I can't distribute that energy evenly and this causes a problem in my soul domain? What if that kind of explosion spreads the remaining memories of those creatures into my soul domain and over time this will harm me? What if the successive explosions cause a crack in the walls of my soul domain? What if--"
*Paa* Evergreen fell on her butt and covered her ears, "Alright Alright enough please, I get it!!"
Robin laughed and then went back to focusing on making more Soul Altars... If his estimation was correct, the Soul Domain would grow in power this way at a reasonable rate, but more importantly, it would form at a steady rate, and it would also reduce the levels of danger to the lowest possible level.
*Creek*
At this moment, the ground of the soul domain next to Robin began to take shape to resemble Charles Burton.
"Oh?" Robin raised his eyebrows when he saw that image, smiling, "This is what messages inside the soul domain look like?"
Of course, Robin had modified the voice ring to be a direct link between the souls and not through the law of sound, and he also made the method of communication to be by copying the soul imprint, so it is only natural that Charles' soul imprint would take this image.
The image of Charles began to make a sound without moving his lips or looking at Robin, as if he were a deaf statue, "Your Excellency, I apologize for disturbing you, but we must talk as soon as possible, signs of rebellion are beginning to appear on Sakaar."
