Chapter 984: Seeing Pythor for the first time
Half a day ago-- *Drip* *Drop*
Robin opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by darkness in all directions, a completely dark world with no features and no boundaries, he could only see beneath his silver feet a sea of dark matter that was constantly twitching...
...And in front of him he could only see a glowing orb bound by several thick chains, and in front of that glowing ball sat a silver-colored person on a large throne, his eyes were empty but he looked powerful.
"...Is this Pythor? Heh- So this is what the refined planet spirit looks like from an outsider's perspective." Robin's soul avatar immediately smiled and then raised his head confidently, he had reached where he wanted.
"How did you know that the planet spirit domain would be here?" A young girl appeared from behind the glowing ball with a puzzled look on her face, it was Rocky.
"I was told that the planet's spirit domain is usually under the most important spot on the planet's surface, so I figured you'd definitely be here under the imperial palace of an ancient planetary empire that controls 8 other planets- and if you weren't here, I would have looked for you at the lair of Durger The Devourer, or at the Sea of Poison in your eastern pole!" Robin offered with a smile.
"It seems that your relationship with that other planet's spirit is too deep to tell you all this..." Rocky was a little annoyed, part of her annoyance was due to Robin's precision
Before moving her domain to be under the palace, Rocky was indeed lying under the Sea of Poison, Pythor had suffered greatly and used epic equipment to reach her, "What do you want by coming here anyway? I thought we agreed that I don't want an owner who has other planets."
"You can say whatever you want, but that doesn't mean I have to obey your wishes as if they matter, you're just a planet spirit, a tool! Why should I listen to you?" Robin laughed then stood in front of the planet image and started examining the huge chains all over it.
Meanwhile, Pythor's silver incarnation moved its head to face Robin but didn't take a step, it was obvious that it had no conscious, Robin noticed this and smiled as he continued his words: "I didn't discuss it with you much before because I didn't want to alert your owner that I was here, but since he knew and even gave you orders to act against me, there's no point in letting him control you fully."
"I'm not a tool, planet spirits have their own personality, their own goals!!" Rocky stomped her foot on the ground several times.
"If you say so~" Robin laughed provocatively, then looked at Rocky and pointed toward the planet spirit, "This is the first time I've ever been in a situation like this, what exactly should I do now?"
"Why are you asking a mere tool like me? Try it yourself!" Rocky put her hand over her small mouth and laughed, then automatically glanced toward Pythor's silver incarnation.
"Oh?" Robin turned fully towards the incarnation of Pythor, "That thing is unconscious but it is undoubtedly powerful, I can sense at least 2800 soul units from that incarnation, and it also moves its eyes according to my movement, is it set to attack automatically when I start refining you?"
"Hmph, yes, are you scared now? I wasn't exaggerating when I mentioned that you should bring someone with at least 3000 soul units!" Although she hated him, she felt a bit proud when Robin mentioned the great power of its owner's soul, "This incarnation is always here to be a mirror of the current owner's soul force, anyone who tries to refine a planet's soul will have to defeat or restrain that incarnation first!"
*Paa* After she finished speaking, Rocky slapped her mouth hard, she told him to try it himself and then she told him detailed information!
"Oh, does that mean that an incarnation of me like this will appear if someone tries to take Greenland from me? That makes sense, and it's reassuring actually... I also don't want some rats to discover the location of the planet's spirit domain I refined and start messing with it without passing me first!" Robin nodded several times, then turned to Rocky, "And what about after it's destroyed? Once I reach 1%, for example, will Pythor lose his full ownership of you and become just a 99% partial owner?"
"Hehe, how can it be that easy? When it comes to refining planets, the system is always on the owner's side. For example, this 2,800-unit incarnation isn't Pythor's soul force that he left here, but a mirror I have to create with my own power to reflect him! But don't underestimate it, it has power matching Pythor's soul and has his techniques, and it also has additional attributes that support it within the planet spirit domain."
Then she continued raising one forger, "Also, the owner will remain the actual owner as long as the intruder hasn't finished the refining fully, meaning that even if you reached 99% of your own refinement process, he will still be the owner and will keep the bounty!" After looking up and laughing, she slammed her mouth again, "Kee, I did it again!!"
"This will complicate things a bit, but the news is still in my favor as a planet owner..." Robin wasn't too surprised by Rocky's naivety, planet spirits were designed to be like children, he just slightly furrowed his brows and rested his chin on his right hand, "Can I at least use my refinement percentage to stop Pythor's orders?"
"No, the owner's orders are always absolute as long as they don't affect the system." Rocky spoke seriously this time, "But you can use it to request other things, meaning I will have to carry out both of your orders at the same time, but he will have priority in the event of a conflict between the two."
"Good enough I guess~" Robin shrugged and smiled at Rocky, "I was just kidding you about you being a tool, how can a sweet girl like you be likened to a tool? Little miss, I'm going to start refining now, please don't make it too difficult for me, even if you don't want me as a permanent owner, you don't want Pythor either, all I ask is that you ignore my existence, don't help me but don't make my job difficult, what do you think?"
"...I'll ignore you until you reach 50%, then I'll make it difficult for you, you can use the less than 50% to influence your war here, but at the same time I don't want you as an owner, I think that's a good deal?" Then she smiled and pointed at the Pythor figure several times, "But don't get ahead of yourself, uncle, you have to defeat this--"
*Swoosh*
In front of Rocky's eyes, something unbelievable happened, Robin slapped the Pythor figure without looking at him, then laughed and shook his hand, "Hehe, okay, let's see what's next." Then he walked towards the planet's spirit and started examining the chains.
Rocky's eyes were still fixed on the Pythor incarnation sitting on his throne, or what was left of Pythor... That slap destroyed its head, it then collapsed and slowly disappeared as if the incarnation itself didn't know what had just happened.
"...?!" Rocky slowly turned her face to watch Robin from behind, with an open mouth and
bulging eyes.
That person, for a moment...
Just for a moment...
He showed a force of more than 15,000 soul units.
