Chapter 2505

2505 – The Revelation

Planet Donara—

Rumble rumble

Like the source of all the tremendous momentum that had penetrated the depths of the universe, Planet Donara was witnessing a strange phenomenon.

Yes, it was shifting along with the fabric of spacetime like all planets in the universe. Yes, its sky was changing and its star map differed with every passing second… but beyond that, the planet was undergoing a unique transformation.

The Shell was slowly moving and shifting, strange treasures emerging from the depths of the earth. The sky was greedily drawing in massive amounts of cosmic dust and primordial energy, far more than an artificial galaxy could absorb.

The planet was changing, and changing at a rate it had never witnessed even after the planting of hundreds of space beast crystals within it… changing for the better.

But Robin, who was looking upward, focused on what he was doing, did not pay much attention to what was happening beneath his feet any more than what was happening around him.

The universe was in its final stages of stabilization.

Finally… Robin breathed, releasing a long exhale.

It had been harder than he expected.

This was not merely undoing something the Executioner had done — that Executioner had used transcendence momentum in some way to carry out the punishment.

Whatever method he used to employ momentum… Robin felt it when he extended his own momentum beneath the Spacetime Fabric, finding it there pulling at the Threads of the universe… All those seconds in which numerous planets were destroyed and the inhabitants of the universe were terrified were because he was struggling against that momentum, trying to break it and take control of the Threads of the universe in its place so he could unravel them in a controlled manner.

Fortunately, the momentum doing all of this was entirely at a strength of less than three seals. The problem that exhausted him was the complex method of using momentum.

It was like a saint who had trained at home his entire life and could barely raise his levels, against another veteran who had extensive experience and techniques for employing his energy.

The immense difference in momentum finally tipped the scales in Robin's favor… But this confrontation at least taught him that momentum is not merely fuel for using the Master Laws.

There was much for him to learn.

Finally reassured that everything was returning to normal smoothly… Robin turned toward Billy.

He immediately sighed, and expressions of regret came over his face…

Billy was stuck to the ground, sitting on his rear, supporting himself from behind with his hands spread flat on the ground… staring at Robin's face with terrified expressions.

He had not seen the various Broadcasts of the Shadow Swords, nor did he know what was happening outside, but he felt the Golden Momentum clearly and from a close distance.

That was enough to make him think about his entire life from the beginning up to this moment.

"You don't have to fear me, Billy…" Then he raised his head again to face him, "Just as you don't have to fear for me either."

"…?" Billy finally snapped out of what seemed like a coma lasting thousands of years, then looked down and sighed, "No matter how strong you are, Robin, you can't blame us for fearing for you, that's illogical… Forget the war, those who love you will fear for you from any passing breeze."

"It's a matter of principle and choosing a role." Robin shook his head, "I chose to be your protector and your sky that shields you from thunder and lightning, so how can I feel while you see that sky about to fall? For a moment I felt that everything I strive for is worthless, if the closest people don't trust my strength and my ability to protect them, then why do I strive for anything?"

Then he looked away, "…This brings me back to your question from earlier."

"…?" Billy was puzzled by the sudden shift.

"You wanted to ask me if my opinion has changed now that I have more followers and more responsibilities." Robin raised his head slightly, "The answer is no, my response to the Cosmic Elder remains the same. I choose to save only myself and my followers."

"Oh…" Billy looked down, he no longer had the energy to argue.

Then he heard Robin's voice again, "But there is a way out for everyone, a way out I mentioned but you didn't pay attention to."

"…?" Billy quickly looked back into Robin's eyes, "A way out that lets you protect everyone? What is it?"

"What was my actual response after I learned everything I told you?" Robin asked with a smile.

"…?" Billy was surprised, "Invading the neighboring Sectors?"

"Correct." Robin nodded, then placed his hands behind his back, "There is something I want to confess… The truth is, I love reverence, Glory, and hearing praise."

"Man?" Billy was about to cry.

"Yes." Robin nodded, "That's why when the Cosmic Elder asked me, I wondered — after I save only myself and my close followers, who will praise and revere me? That would be a short, bleak life for me."

Then he smiled, "That's why I decided to expand the circle of followers a little." His smile widened, "The inhabitants of every Sector I rule are my responsibility. I will try to protect them and carry them through the coming crisis."

"Really?!" Billy sprang to his feet.

"I'll try!" Robin raised a finger quickly, "I don't know the scale of what will happen or what I'm capable of doing with them, but I'll try to save my audience, or at least as many of them as possible."

Then he went back to placing his hands behind his back and raised his head slightly, "Today I removed one of the biggest consequences imposed on our beloved universe B-14, and I gave everyone a chance for wealth and power away from me. All forces can now strengthen themselves with whatever they love and desire; perhaps they will do better in their own way."

Then he raised his arms, "But whoever follows me, truly follows me… will not only gain me as a Lord — I am the strongest person in the universe — but will also gain the Modified Second Training Path and the Fifth Path, and soon my own special training path with which I will break one of the other punishments."

Then he lowered them slowly, "Whoever follows me… will truly have a chance."

Then he looked into the distance, "…I just…" then he narrowed his eyes, "…how do I tell people all of this?"

Then he sighed, "No one even knows that I was the one who destroyed the Buffer Zones… heh~" and he shook his head, "Intiras and others will surely claim the credit for themselves."

"Uhhh…" Billy started crying again and raised his trembling hand, pointing toward his eye, "I… I have… a… a confession… a small one…"

"Hmm?" Robin focused intently on Billy's eyes.

Then he shouted, "What?! Is this a broadcast? You've been broadcasting everything this whole time, Billy?!" He lunged at Billy, grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, "What exactly is wrong with you to do something like this? Do you know how dangerous it is to spread that information?!"

Then Robin lightly slapped his palm against Billy's eyes… and the glow stopped.

"I- I- I'm sorry, I–!!" Billy raised his hands to protect himself from being hit.

But found himself standing on his feet again.

And he heard—

"Alright, the show's over, let's go eat cake." Robin patted him on the shoulder with a big smile.

"…..?!"

"I recently made a mixture of adult space beast blood and juice from its crystal, come try it, and don't worry, it won't explode, I diluted it to one part per million."

"…………..?!?!"
