Chapter 2428

2428 - The Tongue of Truth

"Qarun?"

"He's the Leader of the Stellar Academies!!"

"Is this the first time he's come out? I've never seen him before—clearly this is an extremely important matter..."

Inside the halls of the Soul Society, everyone stopped what they were doing and paid attention. Qarun's words about the heavy heart made their own hearts grow heavy.

[...There is a grave revelation I will share with all of you today, and I will leave you the freedom of choice as Sons of this Universe and its Angels.] Qarun spoke calmly, [...There is an Ancient Entity hovering among us—a Luminous Creature that chooses specific Followers to achieve specific goals. That entity has appeared since time immemorial and bears a distinct mark. All the Millennial Empires and all the Law Dominators know of it. Anyone who has glimpsed some Forbidden Knowledge will recognize it... It is the All-seeing God.]

".........?!?!!"

[That entity, known by many names, follows a distinct pattern in its marks. Whenever you search behind it—behind the people it chooses to carry out its tasks—you will find that they always point toward Cosmic Wars, toward ruin, toward destruction and death... That is what it does.]

Qarun's expressions twisted with sorrow, "I myself have searched extensively and gathered for you all of his followers whom history has recorded, whom the elders of the people have known and whose deeds have been documented. I have asked the Soul Society to distribute a list of them and their disgraceful acts to every one of you... Please check your private messages, then return to the broadcast."

Then he closed his eyes and fell silent... but the recording did not stop.

"...?"

"Did the message reach you?"

"Shh, I'm reading it!"

In an instant, hundreds of millions of people entered their private inboxes and indeed found the message.

Upon opening it, approximately ninety names appeared illuminated in golden letters, and upon clicking any of them, an additional box would appear containing a summary of that person's history, a summary of the atrocities they had caused.

And at the bottom of each box were historical sources and methods for self-verification for those who did not believe!

"Oh my..."

"The great war in Middle Sector 81 all those years ago was the doing of that All-seeing God?"

"He is also the reason behind the ruin in Sector 445!!"

"The Archon, Leader of the Hand of Concealment, his real name is Sevar? He is one of them!!"

"No wonder, he is the greatest demon in the universe and the cause of everything evil, it's only natural that he is one of them!"

"What is wrong with that All-seeing God and what does he want from us?!"

"Hmm?"

"Look at the bottom of the list!!"

Sooner or later, everyone looked down, and instantly their eyes flew wide open... There was a name they knew all too well.

Robin Burton.

With mouths agape and minds in shock, everyone pressed on the name... and a list of crimes appeared, surpassing all previous ones combined.

Starting with the destruction of what was referred to as the Ancestor Continent, the oppression of Planet Nihari, passing through the founding of the two terrorist groups, the Shadow Swords and the black wasps, attacking the peaceful Sectors 99 and 100, supporting a Cosmic War in Mid Sector 101, killing two Behemoths, and brutal military expansion across more than 20 sectors.

Every war that occurred during the Previous Millennium and was directly or indirectly related to Robin was mentioned by name and date, and if you pressed on the name, you would find details about the losses and an exaggerated account of the brutality.

There was also an explanation of every one of Robin Burton's innovations and how each of them helped ignite wars and shed blood, all contributing to his human sacrifices for the evil he was preparing.

And of course, Robin Burton's long-standing relationship with the Demons was mentioned, and how he sent them to feed on other planets to keep them away from his family and lead them until the moment he needed them to annihilate the universe.

The way the report is written makes Robin rival Sevar for first place in cosmic destruction and the vileness of the self...

*Silence*

At that moment, when everyone fell silent staring at the long list of crimes... Qarun's voice rang out once more.

[Have you seen a name you recognize? One you revere? Yes, this is the Lord whose fame has spread recently, revealing followers of terrifying power and a massive army he does with as he pleases, with no reckoning. Unfortunately, some support him and cheer him on... He is one of them, nay, the worst of them.]

[O Children of the universe, I am not spiteful or envious, trying to tarnish someone's image. Rather, I am a man burdened by what he has found, and I can no longer remain silent even if it means his followers will come to kill me. I lost my teacher and my Lord because of him!] Qarun took a deep breath, [In truth, this person laughed at my naive teacher, laughed at the Cosmic Elder and made him believe he was a good person who loved the public good. He convinced him that he would spend his wealth on confronting the danger threatening everyone.]

[He drove a wedge between me and my Lord and teacher, and took my place to clear the way for himself like the sole policeman in the universe, to do whatever he wishes with you. But I did not allow that. I gathered the honorable around me and fought. I strengthened the Stellar Academies and did what I always do... I protect you!]

Then he looked down, [But unfortunately... that person did not like that, so he fought with the Cosmic Elder, wanting to force him to kill me or remove me from my position by force, but the Cosmic Elder finally understood him and refused that, telling him that I am doing my best for the people and he would not allow my death!!]

Then *drop* a tear fell from behind the black glasses.

[...So all he did was plot to kill him.]

"…………..!!!!" People's hearts began to pound fiercely, their eyes losing focus from the intensity of their anger.

[O people, that person, that Robin Burton, exploited his acquaintance with the Cosmic Elder, exploited his old age and the injuries that befell him for all our sakes, and killed him! He killed my teacher and my support, he killed the pillar we all lean upon, he killed the only remaining thing that represents the good in us.]

*sniff* Qarun took a breath, [O people, Robin Burton is a murderer, he seeks to destroy the universe just as he destroyed the Cosmic Elder, he wants to kill us all just like Sevar, they are brothers working under the same entity and their enmity before you is nothing but an act to make you love Robin Burton while he slaughters you, and to facilitate Sevar's mission while he destroys you... Wake up, O people, before it is too late!!]

*whoop*

The clip ended.
