Lord of the Truth

*OOMMMNNNN~~*

"ARRGGH!!" The Rune Masters who preferred to remain inside the covered hall could no longer bear the pressure. Some of them clutched their chests in pain and quickly fled outside. As for the stronger ones, they extended their hands forward and created an energy shield to relieve the pressure and heat on them. They wanted to see the result of their fatigue throughout the six days, no matter what the price!

*Zzzznnnnn*

"AHH!!" But the strangest thing happened. The smell of burning flesh immediately filled the covered hall as the rune masters who extended their hands with energy shields to stop the sea of golden light's advance towards them had their skin burned as soon as the contact occurred!

Yes, contact! That dense golden light was not just a shape, the Sage-level rune masters who tried to stop it felt as if their hands had touched oil due to its intensity!!

*Step* *Step*

"This feeling..?" Jabba furrowed his eyebrows and took two steps forward, forcing himself to look again towards the sea of light

"...Okay, that's enough," Robin finally said something, "Julian, you can now follow the same instructions I gave them, but do not enter a meditative state, you must keep your mind sharp and present."

"Yes!" Julian replied in a pained voice. He was standing very close to the battalion of soldiers behind him and it could be said that he was immersed in the sea of light. If it were not for his strong cultivation, which had already begun his path towards the Martial Emperor's Realm, and his strong will that forced him to remain standing in the place his Excellency ordered him to, he would have escaped while screaming out of pain already

*Deep Inhale..*

"Hooo~"

Julian exhaled slowly to calm himself and relax his body, then he began to follow the instructions and send bursts of energy toward his divine tattoo.

*SHWALAAAA!!!*

"Ahh!!! Huff... Huff.." The Rune Masters who had stayed inside the covered training hall were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief as the pressure on them eased, but their joy quickly turned into shock when they looked up, "...Eh?"

As for Jabba, his reaction was even stronger, as he quickly took a few steps forward, looking up with his green eyes and placing his hands on his head, as he shouted: "No... Hell no! Is that what I am thinking? Impossible!! How did you think of something like that? How did you even gather the needed patterns to complete it?!"

"Hahaha, do you think that your eye is just a cheating tool for seeing patterns of laws and then writing them down? What is important is not what you see, my dear student, but how you use what you see. You greatly underestimate the capabilities of the Eye of Truth!" Robin laughed hysterically as he looked up

He hadn't felt this proud of making something in a long time.

Developing the Internal Cultivation System and increasing its available levels to the Martial Emperor Realm, modifying the divine tattoo system to suit humans, reviving the craft of creating divine weapons... all of these were great achievements, but he was just a developer, someone who found a building that had been standing for years and decided to build a new floor or repairing the existing floors, no matter how hard he work for it, he will never that this building is his!

As for what he sees before his eyes now, it is one of the few innovations that he thought about and created from scratch, It is the juice of his research throughout these years, the crown jewel of his achievements!

"What a strange feeling…" Sage Julian raised his hand and scratched his head. He felt a huge energy surge for a moment that made him lose the feeling of his body, then in the next moment everything turned black, and now he was once again in control of his senses and movement, but there was still something strange. 

He is trying to look around to look for His Excellency or the battalion that was behind him, but there are only metal plates stacked right above his head. Did he do something wrong and get imprisoned in this small place?

"Pssst, hey Julian, is everything okay up there!"

"Hmm?" Julian heard something that made him look around more, perhaps he would find someone to ask him why he was imprisoned here

"Hey, look down!"

"Hmm?" Julian looked down as the speaker asked, to find a very strange sight, "Your Excellency? What happened to you?! Oh? What happened to my voice? Wait... Is that my body down there?!"

When he looked down, he found His Excellency looking at him proudly with a big smile from ear to ear, and he saw His Excellency's disciple, Jabba, looking at him drooling in shock, as if he had seen the largest jewel in the world, but the strange thing was that they both had become the size of a mouse!

What happened was that the sea of golden light that had almost destroyed the covered hall began to change rapidly after Sage Julian activated his tattoo. Instead of expanding to the sides, the sea of golden light began to shrink from the sides and extend upwards, then limps began to emerge into that sea of light, and human features resembling Sage Julian appeared.

Within just a few seconds, that viscous sea of light transformed into a 25-meter-tall humanoid... That's the height of an 8-storey building!!

"Haha, it's not what happened to us, my friend, but what happened to you!" Robin laughed loudly as he watched his favorite artwork, "Hey, I want you to calm down. Since the experiment has been successful, I will explain everything to everyone in detail, but first I want to test your strength a little, Are you ready?"

"Julian is always ready to serve Your Excellency." The giant raised his hand and hit his chest, although he did not fully understand what was happening, this was definitely a result of the runes they had received!

"This is the spirit required!" Robin clapped excitedly, then looked over and slapped his disciple on the back, "Go play with him."

--------------------------

At the same time-- The space portal located on the steep hill

*Bzzzzzztt*

When the space inside the gate began to become turbulent, a few sages in charge of protecting it stepped forward in a defensive position, but when they saw the person who came out, they saluted, "We welcome Governor Alexander and the ----." But their tongues were tied and their hearts trembled when they saw the person, no, The Thing that came out after him

It's not as if they had never seen a Demon before, the same crimson skin filled with dark scales, the same long white hair, the spiral horns that pointed upwards, and the same face devoid of everything except a mouth full of sharp teeth... This thing was a monster like the rest of them, but this one in particular was... Different...

The aura of this Demon is unnaturally stifling, and even they, Sages, had their words crammed into their mouths when they saw him. 

Physically, he does not resemble the rest of the Demons either. Rather, he is clearly taller than his peers. In fact, his height is at least 3 meters, nearly as tall as His Excellency's disciple, Jabba, before the battle of the Warlords!

As for Alexander and that terrifying Demon, they began to advance toward the closed training hall, completely ignoring the guards. Then Alexander spoke with furrowed eyebrows as he put his hand behind his back, "If you had come when I asked you, would you have met this situation? It's not as if I wanted to harm you, but rather I wanted to give you techniques that would strengthen you. Look what happened now, you have angered His Excellency!"

"The Lord is wise... The Lord is merciful... The Lord will understand the situation..." The Demon spoke in a harsh, chilling voice.

"Hmph, I hope so. Although I do not want to be an enemy to monsters like you, you must understand that everything depends on one word from His Excellency, do not try to test him too much or you might regret it." Alexander spoke seriously

But the Demon responded with an ugly smile, "The Lord is wise... The Lord will not choose this path..."

*BOOM!!*

At this moment, when the covered training hall was within sight, a person was thrown out of it like a cannonball

*Swoosh*

The Demon moved quickly before Alexander could react and caught the projectile person spitting out blood. With a quick inspection, the Demon opened his mouth again to speak, "...Are you Lord's disciple Jabba? How did you become so short?"

Jabba wanted to open his mouth to say something, but *poof* a significant amount of blood spurted from his mouth

"Jabba? Who the hell could do this to you? What happened? And where is His Excellency, I left him with you!" Alexander ran next to them and asked in panic

"The Lord is with him? Where is the lord? Speak." The Demon lifted Jabba by the collar until his feet no longer touched the ground and shouted to him.

Jabba wiped the blood off his face and almost punched the annoying Demon with the bad breath away, but a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face as he pointed towards the hall, "He's there, the golden giant inside the hall wants to kill him, go and save him quickly."

"The lord must be protected!!" The Demon threw Jabba and rushed toward the covered training hall
