Chapter 2063 Second threat
Chapter 2063 Second threat
“Done!”
Timari closed the message, and the young man’s image vanished from before Robin’s eyes, dissolving into faint light particles.
“This will make him extremely angry, as you know, especially what you said about Serene. Everyone knows she’s been betrothed to him for hundreds of years, and that matter alone is enough to ignite a war.”
“Let him go cry to daddy if he wants!”
Robin’s expression twisted coldly, his features tightening with open disdain and contempt.
He had continued supporting them with hundreds of millions of Pearls annually, in deals whose total over the years reached nearly 30 billion pearls, a colossal fortune by any standard.
It could be said that he was their primary supporter in the war over Mid Sector 101, the hidden pillar that kept their war machine moving.
Why?
Because if a few hundred fleets were destroyed by Hedrick, and the war stopped and turned into elite duels or even political pressure and negotiations, that would severely harm his interests and long-term plans.
Right now, he had Hedrick and Kaylis by the throat because the war continued, binding them to his strategy.
He had an opportunity to strip Kaylis of power and annex his galaxy under his control because of that war, using chaos as a lever.
All of this would have evaporated if peace had come, if Darvion the Cursed found that he was losing more than he was gaining, and chose to withdraw.
But that was no longer useful now.
He had been dragged into the mud, and it was over, the line had been crossed.
There was no longer any need to support them, and no need to pretend neutrality or wear the mask of balance.
The Twilight Specters Empire leaking his identity to the Savage Behemoth, who in turn leaked his identity as a human to the Cursed Behemoth and the Sorcerer Behemoth…
That removed the veil of mystery from the legendary hidden supporter and exposed him to the entire dark hierarchy.
But beyond that, it caused no real damage.
In fact, it terrified them even more, because they knew the scale of Lord Human’s wealth, his influence, and the reach of his resources.
Did he fear them personally? Of course.
Any one of the Behemoths could threaten his life if they met face to face.
Theoretically, he could escape using spacetime, but there was no way to predict what kind of power and abilities the Behemoths truly possessed, nor the hidden techniques they might reveal.
But… they had to find him first if they wanted to kill him.
And even if a Behemoth found him, even if he couldn’t escape, as long as he stayed beside Althera, he would live.
Althera would never allow him to die after everything she had seen from him, after she accepted that epic, tear-inducing mission of luring nascent space beasts to kill them in service of the universe!!
“Alright then,”
Timari clapped excitedly, her voice filled with sharp enthusiasm.
“Ready for the next message?”
“…There’s more?”
Robin turned toward her in surprise, clearly not expecting another confrontation so soon.
“Of course!”
Timari waved her hand, and a new image appeared before Robin, forming clearly in the air…
It was an old bald man with deep black circles around his eyes and a pyramid-shaped chain on his chest, radiating dark authority.
The Sorcerer Behemoth, Zargul:
“<Your shadow dogs have increased greatly, and I do not know how you lured Arkael the Temporal to serve as a dog under your command as well, but that is not enough to divert my gaze from Mid Sector 99.
If you do not remove those rats from Mid Sector 97 as soon as possible, I will crush your pathetic bull in Mid Sector 99.
It is better that we deal peacefully. Conflict against me will never benefit you. Erasure is the fate of my enemies!>”
Then the message ended, the image freezing for a brief moment before
disappearing.
“Hmm, the Sorcerer seems to want to negotiate seriously with you this time to
end the wars,”
Timari nodded, then looked at Robin with a thoughtful expression.
“What do you say?”
“Hehe… hahaha!” Robin burst into loud laughter, his voice echoing with clear mockery. “Hehe… you’re hearing it as if he’s offering me a chance to negotiate, as if he’s being reasonable. But what I hear is nothing more than the desperate screaming of someone who’s cornered, trapped, and panicking.”
“Hmm?” Timari tilted her head slightly, curiosity and confusion mixing on her delicate features.
“That bald shit will never be able to enter Mid Sector 99,” Robin said calmly, his confidence absolute. “Not after Hedrick appeared there. Not while Arkael the Temporal is fighting him directly in Mid Sector 97. Not while the Shadow Swords are forming alliances against him in Mid Sector 97.”
He slowly shook his head, his expression cold and certain. “He’s surrounded from every direction, completely boxed in, and he doesn’t even understand how it happened. Right now, he’s trying to calculate how much money I spent to move all of these forces against him, how many Pearls were poured into this web. And at the same time, he’s thinking that he also wants a piece of the cake, just like the others.”
“Oh?” Timari raised an eyebrow slightly, interest flashing in her eyes. “If he wants a piece of the cake like your other followers and allies, then why not turn him into an ally as well?”
“Because he doesn’t behave like an ally. He behaves like a fool who threatens
me,” Robin replied sharply, pointing toward Zargul’s furious image. “I am the winning side here. The balance of power is already decided. And I’m supposed to beg him, negotiate with him, and offer him a bribe so he’ll stop the war? He’s completely disconnected from reality. He’s still trapped inside his own illusion, living in a world that no longer exists.”
“Do you want to reply to him this time?” Timari asked softly. “You didn’t reply to his previous message either.”
Robin stared at Zargul’s face for a long time in silence, his gaze heavy and unreadable. For a brief moment, he seriously considered whether it would be better to insult him, curse him, or simply tell him to smash his head against the
thickest wall he could find.
In the end, he exhaled slowly.
“Leave him. I want him to feel that I’m ignoring him on purpose. That feeling alone will be more painful than any insult. That will be a sufficient response.”
Then he waved his hand twice. “Open a message to Theo for me.”
“Yes!” Timari responded instantly, moving without hesitation. Robin extended his hand and pressed start recording:
“<Zargul has threatened me for the second time, and this time he must pay the
price. I want you to discipline him for me. I will open the maximum limit of Pearls deposited in my public account. Take whatever you want. If you want 10 billion, take it. If you want 100 billion, take it. Arm all his enemies, strengthen them, and buy more allies for us in that entire region,>” Then he continued, a faint, cold smile forming on his lips:
“<I also want you present in the Young Sector 98. Prepare the ground, clear the
path, then send the army of the True Beginning Empire there to destroy all of the Sorcerer’s followers and occupy the Young Sector. He threatens me because I’m surrounding him from two sides. I want to see what he does when he finds himself surrounded from three sides this time. I want to see how long his arrogance lasts.>”
A cold chill crept through Timari’s limbs. The weight of those words was terrifying. Making Lord Human an enemy was not just dangerous… it was a
nightmare.
But the message did not end there, as Robin calmly continued:
“<By the way, today I will make an announcement regarding planetary displacement equipment, and I will request that all offers be sent to your account as well. Find whatever benefits us and buy it immediately. The maximum limit is open. There are no restrictions. We must publicly prepare the path for Nihari’s appearance. Contact Holak face to face for more information and direct coordination.>”
Then he pressed send.
“Why face to face?” Timari asked in surprise, raising both her hands. “We have
an excellent meeting hall in the Soul Society. It’s secure, efficient, and perfectly
suitable!” “Heheeey~” Robin laughed mockingly, then gently slapped Timari’s face with casual familiarity. “I’ve gotten used to your presence, but not to that degree.”
