2211 - Final Form
Boom
Like the sun of truth, the Open Eye illuminated the void.
The nascent and juvenile space beasts, which had begun to retreat moments ago, stopped once again in respect and fear. Before that giant eye, they all felt like worms—even less.
This had nothing to do with strength.
This time, they did not freeze because they sensed an overwhelming power and a suppressing authority, as had happened with the Ancestor space beast earlier.
No...
They felt as if they were standing before a higher entity.
Something they must not question, must not test.
Even the adult space beasts kept staring at Robin himself, unable to look directly at the eye. If ordered, they would attack the human directly and try to avoid that giant eye without a doubt.
"Ah... ah..." Althera, Blokan, and Asr opened their eyes and mouths slightly.
The appearance of the Five Master Symbols before their eyes erased everything they knew about cosmic history, especially that colossal eye... Was this supposed to be the Symbol of Truth? Did the Law of Truth even have a sovereign symbol?!
Blokan's pupils began to move erratically and chaotically, staring at Robin's back in awe.
That person possesses five sovereign laws?!
As for Morgana, she nearly collapsed.
"It's her... It's her..."
This was not the first time she had seen that eye, but she had never seen it in such a form, with such power and clarity as now.
Some time ago, during Robin's battle against the Specter King Arkalon, Robin had used that eye to eliminate all the specters present in one quarter of the planet, including King Arkalon himself, turning them into spirit units and absorbing them as spirit creatures!
That scene was still etched in her mind to this day... Through her spiritual sense back then, she had seen the specters anatomically, seen the components of the human body, seen Robin manipulating reality as if it were an open book he could edit at will.
But the thing she remembered most... was that Robin said he was using the Third Level of the Law of Truth.
The Third Level at that time had enabled him to destroy a massive army of specters, led personally by the genius Arkalon, the Specter King who possessed the power of the Nexus State.
But the Third Level had also left him like a corpse, unable to lift his neck, and one of the Imperial Guards had to carry him away to escape.
Yet he just shouted... the Fifth Level?
"Master..." Morgana muttered with suppressed tears, afraid, but she did not move according to his wish.
"..."
In that state, a state where he seemed to have transcended the limits of the human race, Robin gently raised his hand and slowly wiped the corner of his lip.
The pressure on his body was terrifying, and the color of his skin, hidden beneath the golden hue, was as pale as a ghost... clearly, he was not okay.
But he had no intention of canceling anything.
Not when he saw the confusion and astonishment in the eyes of the Ancestor Space Beast, after there had been only arrogance and contempt.
Would he die if he kept flexing his muscles? No matter... this look he was seeing now was a sufficient price!
So he lifted his head slightly.
Whoosh
Whoosh
A green sphere and a blue sphere left Robin's forehead and rose rapidly, swelling until they became like two blazing stars.
One of them rained down a green starry meteor upon Robin, completely enveloping his body—it was Greenland's Gift of Rapid Regeneration.
And from The Second Star, feather-like things descended, appearing heavy but falling slowly and gently, until they touched Robin.
Crackle
Robin donned A Green Robe Over the Blue, a robe of such intense pressure and power that monsters began to be attracted to him.
At that moment, Robin was like a small black hole with its own immense gravity.
This was the Gift of the Nehary Galaxy Soul, a gift powerful enough to befit a Behemoth, a gift that could crush Nexus States and fight Law Dominators alone.
From a distance, Blokan bit his lower lip slightly.
In that case… Robin Po—no, Lord Robin, could undoubtedly kill him.
In that case, the number of Behemoths that Lord Robin could not dominate had become very few, a number that could be counted on the fingers of one hand.
In that case, if he had enough energy after everything that happened… no one except those three could dictate a word to him.
…After reaching this state, a state that made Blokan and the others behind him swallow their saliva in fear and reverence, Robin raised both hands to shoulder height, looking directly into the eyes of the Ancestor Space Beast, “Why don’t you throw one… of those gentle Energy Waves at me now?”
“….?” The Space Beast’s eyes immediately turned to anger.
It was clear he understood Robin’s challenge, no… he understood his contempt?!
Whoosh
In the face of the clear challenge, the Ancestor Space Beast indeed released another oppressive Energy Wave, this time clearly stronger.
“Do you still not know who you’re dealing with after all this?!” Robin shouted in exasperation, then waved his hand.
Hoo~
The cube moved slightly, changing the direction of the energy wave, causing it to strike a number of beasts and kill them instantly.
Then, before the Ancestor Space Beast could react to what had happened, it sensed something.
*Huum*
A Golden Wave emerged from the giant eye, heading straight toward it!
“…!”
The Ancestor Space Beast was stunned by Robin's audacity, which made it think he believed he could attack it, and surprised that it sensed no danger or killing intent behind that wave.
Nevertheless, it narrowed its eyes slightly, creating a powerful Barrier in front of it—a Barrier that would not allow any attack to pass through, a Barrier it would immediately use afterward to crush the insolent human.
*Whoosh*
The Golden Wave completely ignored the Barrier and struck the location of the Ancestor Space Beast's eyes.
“This…?!” Althera and the others opened their eyes wide.
Even the Space Beasts began to emit strange sounds, all of them watching where the Ancestor Space Beast stood in their own way.
Even Robin raised an eyebrow lightly. “So this is what… the Ancestor Space Beast looks like?”
“….?” The Ancestor's small red eyes did not understand at first.
No…
They were no longer red.
And the eyes were no longer the only thing visible either.
When the Ancestor realized it had been exposed before everyone, it turned back to look at Robin with absolute hostility.
But what he found in return was a small, tired smile from Robin, and a voice:
"I never thought that the terrifying Ancestor beast... wouldn't look so scary after all."
