Lord of the Truth

Chapter 740  Artificial

Planet Greenland--The rolling hill

"Arghhaaa" An adult male shouted, like a goat seeing a knife. That man was nothing the planet Greenland had seen before. He was white in color and his skin was cracked all over like scales. He did not have a nose on his face, only two holes in its place. His ears were not there either. His eyeballs were like a fine line and he had long fangs that appear when he opens his mouth.

The Great Serpent Empire soldier kept screaming for a full minute, "Ahhhhh---" before his voice was silenced forever.

"Tsk~" Robin threw the body out of his hand like it was trash, looking at the rest of the prisoners with apparent annoyance

"Keeeh!!" The soldiers, whose hands were stained with the blood of countless souls, trembled as if they saw the specter of death.

At this moment a voice appeared, "I seek permission to enter."

"Oh, Theo, come on." Robin looked towards the source of the voice for a moment, before his features changed from annoyance to a slight smile, and he went to sit down, "I was thinking about taking a break anyway."

*Whoosh* Theo walked past the closed door without touching it, "...It seems that the research is going well. Is there anything new regarding the purple poison cloud? You have a lot of war comrades here, you must see it often..." Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on n/o/v𝒆/l/bin(.)c/𝒐/m

Ever since the war began, no, even before that, Robin has been spending most of his time here... sometimes researching a way to speed up the manufacturing of the revolutionary instant arrays, or spending some time creating an *Escape from Earth* technique for the tree fathers, or simply increasing his energy level and understanding the matters of the soul faster.

But recently he was forced to be busy with something else, researching the imprisoned soldiers of the Great Serpent Empire.

"Not as many as you think. At first, whenever I caught one of them, they called me that cloud, but when they learned that I was trying to see it and that I was able to neutralize it with the click of my finger, they began to prefer death rather than attack me with it... It started to get frustrating." Robin shook his head

"There is not much room here, Your Excellency, they all see what you are doing to their comrades. Perhaps you should listen to my advice and go to your palace on Planet Jura. There is an entire underground city dedicated to prison and research waiting for you there."

"What, are you also ashamed of calling me a father like that idiot, Peon?" Robin furrowed his eyebrows reproachfully

Theo let out a small laugh and shook his head, "Ashamed? Just talking to you is an honor, Your Exll-- Father."

"This is better... Regarding the issue of the palace, I thought about it, but I want to leave the capital to Richard for now. If he knew that I live in the palace right next to him, perhaps it would restrict his movement..." Robin scratched his head and then asked, "...How is he doing now?" "

"He hasn't entered the capital yet.." Theo shook his head, "Caesar is dragging him around all your continents and planets. They are currently in the Death Butterfly Tribe on Orphan Blood Planet, but as far as I know, Orphan Blood Planet is the last stop and after that, they will head to the Imperial Capital."

"They are still out there?! Richard has to get involved with the Burton and Bradley families to feel like he belongs again. Why have they been wandering around for months? That bastard Caesar wants to evade his responsibilities to take a vacation and found the perfect opportunity!" Robin became agitated but quickly calmed down, "... Never mind, just let them be..." Seeing how vast his father's empire was might make Richard realize his responsibilities a little.

Then he snapped his finger as if he remembered something, "Returning to the purple poison cloud, it is indeed an attack related to the bloodline of this race as was my initial conclusion, But at the same time, it is just a normal attack using a Heavenly Law, Do you understand anything?"

"…An attack that has something to do with their bloodline? But they are demi-humans, right? Why don't the rest of the demi-humans on the Orphan Blood Planet have this property?" Theo stepped forward to take a closer look at the soldiers sitting on the ground

"Here we return to the other part. It's just a normal attack using a Heavenly Law... Our followers on the Orphan Blood Planet already have this property, but you don't feel it. All half-humans derive an affinity towards a certain Heavenly Law from their beastly half. For example, the Red Flame Dragon tribe has a strong affinity toward the Minor Flame Law and the Minor Blood Explosion Law, this creates the explosive red flame effect that you see in all of their fights. Another example is Aru, the Half-Lightning Bull who has a natural affinity towards a few of the Minor Lightning and Wind Laws... Demi-humans who have these natural affinities, even if they haven't cultivated all their lives, those laws at least wouldn't hurt them as much if they were exposed to it, for example, it's very difficult to burn Flora..."

Robin then pointed towards the soldiers of the Great Serpent Empire, "As for those in front of you, they have an affinity for a Minor law that I have called Corrosion, a Minor law of the Path of Destruction it seems."

"Destruction Path?! This... looks dangerous." Theo's view of soldiers changed dramatically

"Yes, the Heavenly Laws have a clear order, and the Major Heavenly Law of Destruction stands shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Chaos and Death. It's definitely something you shouldn't mess with... Fortunately, what these people have is just a Minor Law." Robin rubbed his forehead, "And more fortunately, they're not real demi-humans.."

Theo turned back quickly but did not say anything, waiting for his adoptive father to finish what he said

"I conducted a lot of tests on Flora, as you know. She uses the Major Fire Law technique, but when she uses it, she produces that red flame due to the modifications made by the variable particles in her blood. Those modifications do not come without a price, even the variable particles are consumed and die like any vital thing... Whenever she uses that red flame, she consumes the variable particles in her body, they burn and disappear with every passing moment, but her bones, which are saturated with her demi-human marrow, can produce more blood that replaces what was burned, so when demi-humans use their abilities for long, their strength is temporarily reduced during battle, but at least they can continue fighting, and after a short rest, they return to their best condition after their marrow recovers all the burned blood. This is why even if you drained out all the blood of a demi-human, his blood would be filled with these variable particles again in no time."

 Robin then pointed a few times toward the soldiers, "As for these ones, they are a little different, They have the variable particles of a half-human. Some of them have a higher density than the others, while some have almost all human blood, so far this is normal in demi-humans, what is not normal is that their marrow is completely that of humans, so when they use the capabilities of this blood and it burns, it is not replaced... And of course, gaining puer human blood in a mutant body like this causes instant death."

"But the marrow is the origin of blood! If their marrow is human, then that means..." Even Theo, who did not know much about these matters, noticed something strange. Of course, he did not ask how his father knew about the content of the marrow, The broken bones lying everywhere said enough.

"Exactly," Robin looked at the soldiers again, "Those freaks were humans like you and me... They are artificial demi-humans."
