Chapter 2487

2487 - The Battlefield

Inside the Soul Society—

"Oh my god…"

Just seconds ago, most of the spectators had been shouting, even those who knew that the one sitting before them was Robin Burton, who was changing the cosmic order at this very moment.

To them, being Robin Burton did not justify wasting their time broadcasting a ridiculous birthday party while eating cake!

How arrogant and foolish must someone be to do something like this?

But suddenly everyone fell silent… even the sounds of breathing in the outside world could no longer be heard.

Billy's perspective being broadcast now was terrifying.

At that moment, before him were about ten thousand Crimson Plague individuals gnawing at a dark, immensely massive corpse shaped like a sea-horse beast with three tails!

Not far away, the scene repeated—a corpse and thousands of Crimson Plague gnawing at it—but this time everyone focused not so much on those terrifying open mouths as on the size of the corpse and the size of its fangs and claws!

"A space beast…" someone murmured in the hall in a very low voice.

And those murmurs began to spread among everyone, repeating them as they watched that terrifying scene.

Anyone with the slightest bit of general information would know that these are Space Beasts—even teenagers know. This became widespread information after the Virilion Incident and the Middle Sector Incident, in which the Cosmic Elder was forced to intervene!

…Billy's perspective rose slightly, and he used his modest spiritual power to pierce through the clouds with his gaze at a distance of tens of kilometers.

The ground was drowned in black blood, and the ocean to his right had become like tar. At least twenty Nascent Space Beast corpses were visible within his line of sight, and apparently there were more farther away.

At the far left, an army of Crimson Plague could be seen.

Gulp.

When everyone saw that formation from Billy's perspective, they swallowed their saliva.

There were hundreds of thousands of them, lined up like a true army wearing armor and holding weapons and shields, divided into Battalions and standing at the ready… Those bloodthirsty things stood motionless as they watched their peers devour ravenously, standing calmly atop mud filled with blood and air filled with their smoke!

Above, there were at least 50 Crimson Plague individuals scattered about, monitoring what was happening below, ready to intervene if something unplanned occurred.

[Graaaaaa—]

At that moment, a roar came that forced Billy to turn back and look toward that massive circular golden opening, where a colossal beast had thrust its head in and began crawling inside.

Immediately, a battalion of three thousand Crimson Plague soldiers came from those standing far away and attacked it from every side. They tore apart its limbs, and a quarter of them were killed in the process, but in the end, within about a minute, they had subdued it and began eating it alive!

Before they finished, another beast emerged…

Then the Demon Battalion began dragging the Space Beast away to an empty area, and another battalion intervened to repel the new Space Beast.

"What… exactly… is happening there?!"

This question began echoing everywhere, in minds and on tongues.

The scene there looked like a decisive doomsday battle between the Crimson Plague and the Space Beasts!!

Then finally, Billy raised his voice again, [Why don't you show the people what they should see? Why keep what's happening in Donara a secret?!]

"…Is it possible that Robin Burton doesn't know he's being filmed?"

"Thinking about it, his reactions have been strange throughout the broadcast…"

Atop the mountain—

"...Do I show people what's happening in Donara?" Robin chuckled, "The eye goes blind and the ears go deaf when the truth is hard, only the mind can see and hear... Everyone had a chance to use their mind and see, but everyone chose to trust the familiar and fear the new."

Then he began flipping through a book, "I'm not talking here about the adults who know the truth and chose to walk behind my enemies for their own interests, but I'm talking about the small merchants, the heedless rulers, and even the citizens. Not one of them used his mind to see... They chose the easiest path for the human mind, the path of willful ignorance and closing off minds, the path of blind trust in the current authority without asking themselves... Why?"

"You can't judge ordinary citizens with such heaviness without first giving them something to think about!!" Billy waved the tablet forcefully and turned to face Robin, "You left the field to your enemies, then you wondered why everyone in the stands is watching your enemies alone. Why didn't you also come out and show everyone yourself and explain your position?!"

"I am not a clown to lower myself to the level of performing and competing with a trivial person who decided to play a dirty game," Robin continued flipping through the pages quickly, "nor am I so poor in anything that I would go out to people and ask everyone to believe me at the expense of others." Then he raised his head gently toward Billy, "I am Robin Burton, I do not need to explain anything, I do not need anyone."

Then he extended his right hand to the table and picked up the heavy glass and took a sip, "This cup of Adult Space Beast blood and those gifts in my hands from my sons and loved ones weigh to me the entire universe and all it contains, do you understand me?"

"I understand that you are an arrogant bastard!" Billy shouted, pointing at him, his hand in its full length appearing on the broadcast trembling with rage, "I told you before, you are destined to rule people with justice, to illuminate the universe with goodness and protect your subjects, how will you do this when you leave your enemies to control their heads?!"

"….." Robin set the glass down again, his smile gradually fading, "Out of courtesy for your precious gift, let me tell you why I say the matter is clear to anyone who wants to engage their mind, and why I lost hope in the human mentality and democratic opinions after all that happened…"

Gulp.

It was not Billy alone, this sound echoed across all corners of the universe.
