Chapter 623: Eden of Blood

A few hours later-- Central Continent-- The Imperial Capital

"Haah~ hey, I'm going to take a nap." One of the guards standing atop the high city wall yawned

"Tsk~ Last time you said you were going to go pee and you were gone for an hour, now you say nap, who knows how many hours you'll be gone!" The other guard was sitting on a chair, putting his foot on another chair, and in his hand was a small dagger that he was throwing up and down to pass the time.

"And what is the problem with that? It's not like I'll miss anything. Come on man~ Cover for me if the supervisors pass by here, I just need two hours! And I'll cover for you when I come back and let you do whatever you want." That guard started poking his friend in the shoulder

"You cover me and I cover you? Are we here to guard or to play you clown?" The other guard was fed up and hit his colleague on the stomach with the backside with the dagger

"Ouch!! Brother, what's your problem? The entire planet has been united and everyone in the city is either veterans who spent years at Greenland or members of the Burton family who receive the best cultivation and resources, This city is literally a huge military barracks! And not far from here lies the headquarters of the demons and you know how high their loyalty to His Excellency. Who would dare attack this place? I don't even know what we're guarding the city against, I feel like we're stealing the city by taking this salary!"

The other guard stood up and was about to argue with him further, but a voice from afar answered on his behalf, "Haha, I don't blame you for thinking this way. This place was actually built to be a fortress, but we still need to be aware of the danger of beasts. Until this moment we still do not know anything about the beasts and how strong they are, and I don't believe that the beasts that do not need to cultivate in order to strengthen themselves not have a few members that can threaten the safety of the city, there might even be beasts as powerful as an Emperor hiding here or there that we haven't heard of yet."

"Who's there?! ...Your Excellency?!"

"Your Excellency!!" The two guards quickly gave the military salute

"Rest." Robin landed comfortably, and behind him was a woman more than two and a half meters tall

"Your Excellency, please give us a few minutes. We will inform the city officials of your arrival!" The two guards bowed down, and because of his extreme tension, he forgot that the dagger was still in his hand til this moment

Robin nodded, "Alright you can go, but I want to stand alone with this miss for a while before I come down from the wall myself or give you the signal to approach. I don't want anyone to come to me after you, okay?"

"Yes, Your Excellency!!" The two saluted again and retreated

"...This was not a tone of fear but of respect. This is quite rare for a murderous tyrant like you." Flora's voice came from behind Robin

Robin smiled and did not respond to her sarcasm, but rather pointed towards the huge city in front of them, "Tell me... What do you see?"

Flora looked around slowly... The high towers pierced the sky, the gardens scattered everywhere the clean artificial rivers that ran through the city, the shops full of goods and entertainment centers full of children, the open air cultivation grounds where young people competed, guards wearing shiny golden armor roaming the streets to ensure security. In it, adults and kids in the streets treat each other with love and respect, and even the challenges between them are friendly in which no one is injured. Why not, when they are all relatives of His Excellency or descendants of great warriors who fought under his banner? In addition to the beautiful atmosphere and abundant food...

Everything here seemed new and thriving, everything seemed perfect, wherever she looked she seemed to see: "Eden... This is Eden." Flora mumbled, a few drops of tears falling from her eyes without her realizing it, but then she quickly wiped them away and looked at Robin with anger in her gaze, "How many lives did you take to build this place?"

"I don't know, But for the sake of the conversation let's say tens of millions." Robin responded with a frown without the slightest change in his voice, "Greed blinded the people of this world... When I showed the things I can do they attacked my city, destroyed it, killed most of my family members, and indirectly caused the death of my wife and the torture of my only biological son. But the one who had the last laugh was me as you see... I united the entire planet through a sea of blood and in the end, I reached this result that you see now, cool huh?"

"Cool? You are a monster!"

"Eh? Ahahaha." Robin couldn't help himself and laughed out loud, "I can sense 17,000 different law shards in levels 41 and 42, It seems that you were unable to find 9,000 saints and sages like the Bull Head and had to add thousands of knights to fill the gaps. You alone used 17,000 cultivators to get to this power! Let's assume that you were forced to sacrifice all of them in order to gain power and achieve peace, isn't that what I did too? Please don't be a whore and talk to me about honor!"

"How does this compare to that? We're fighting for our lives!" Flora shouted excitedly

"And I'm fighting for everyone's lives!" Robin replied firmly, then turned to look into her eyes, "Secondly, don't you do the same thing every day? At least my war here was clear. They attacked me for what I had, and I killed them for my revenge and for the sake of uniting the planet under my authority, but you killed and ate each other because of what? Because you look different? This food shortage issue is trivial, you can simply raise domestic beasts and eat them or just stop reproducing like rabbits, but hating the different races has simply blinded you all! At least I managed to unite my planet after the bloodbath and now we are pointing our swords at other planets, as for You are not even capable of dreaming of this type of unification! Look into my eyes and say that you would not have washed your planet with blood if you had known that the result would be true unification."

Flora almost argued again, but she quickly closed her mouth and looked at Robin with a cold gaze, "...What is the reason for this conversation? You don't need to explain anything to me, I am but a mere hostage."

Robin looked into her eyes for a few seconds before returning to watching the city with his hands behind his back, "...I don't know either. Maybe I'm still trying to justify myself for invading your planet, or maybe I've taken pity on your talent and want you to be more than just a hostage."
