Chapter 843: Deal

?

"What about him?" The planet spirit smiled, "I told you that I don't want to be tied to your fate, but you want to support your son to refine me? Are you crazy?"

"Don't you know that Richard hates me to the bones? How is this a connection to me?" Robin took two more steps forward, "But I am still his father in the end, if you let him refine you, I will provide you and him with protection, and Planet Jura will remain under my protection even if he decides to separate from me completely, what do you think? You will have the best of both worlds, you will save yourself from being directly tied to me and at the same time have my support, protection, and glory!"

"...No, that won't work with me, I heard your conversation a moment ago, it's clear that the boy has returned to you." Juri shook her head

A few veins on Robin's forehead twitched in anger, she listened to everything in their conversation?! That girl has gone beyond monitoring him, she is practically living with him! But he quickly continued anyway, "Didn't you also hear when he said he wanted to head to the Middle Planetary Belt? He doesn't want anything to do with me, he's a bastard who just wants to use me to become stronger!"

Jura looked Robin up and down, "...That's too much support for a bastard right there."

"And what do I do? He's my son, after all, the apple of my eye~" Robin sighed and shook his head sadly, then he smiled and looked at Juri "What now, do we have a deal? There aren't many options for you here, it's actually quite simple: either me or my son, or turning into a barren planet."

"...." Juri stared into Robin's eyes for a moment but didn't respond, then turned around and took a few more steps towards the planet model that was already focused on Jura City, and zoomed in until it focused on Richard who was still gathering generals and officers up until this moment

Then she muttered in a low voice, "Well, he did a good job defending me against the invasion, smart, strong, determined, and independent, even in the middle planetary belt he deserves to be the owner of a planet... Alright, why not~"

A little smile appeared on her face, getting an owner early is a source of pride for planetary spirits, especially if the owner is a child of the planet!

"Hahaha, we have a deal then!" Robin was very happy, perhaps happier than if Juri had accepted him as his owner, "Just give me a few years to train the boy's soul until he reaches the Silver Soul and then I will send him to you, don't worry though you will not wait long, I have a strong soul technique that will enable him to achieve it shortly like me!"

"Hmm? Oh right, you don't know yet.." Juri laughed and then with a simple wave the scene changed, now Richard appeared after he came out of the instant space portal and saw the massacre of the Imperial Capital

Hearing is different from seeing...

Seeing the remains of his relatives scattered, and seeing Richard mentally collapsing and his hair turning white, Robin's heart clenched and sent shivers throughout his body, but he clenched his hands and remained silent.

Power... If he had enough power, this wouldn't have happened!

Now he understood it after talking to Juri, but his son understood before him, he understood the hard way

"This..?" Robin opened his eyes wide, at this moment the soul force surrounding Richard completely changed, "Is this the power of a silver soul? Richard broke through to the silver soul without help?!"

Robin's shock shook his entire being, he knew very well how difficult it was to obtain the silver soul, it could even be said that if he hadn't been able to absorb Hoffenheim's soul force and his primal soul, he wouldn't have dreamed of it, but Richard actually achieved it?!

"Tsk~ You are already a Planetary Emperor but you are still very young and need much experience," Juri shook her head, "Do you think the only way to strengthen the soul is through ornate techniques and soul patterns? You should expand your horizons more, the soul law is extremely mysterious, you can gather soul units simply by strengthening your will and this is done through many methods like torture, there are those who strengthen their souls by putting them under extreme pressure and constantly splitting their consciousness! And guess who did both?"

She then looked at Robin, "Although I didn't see his torture myself I heard about what happened, this alone was enough to push his soul units to 400 at least, then he received the advanced levels of the Life Fire and began controlling giant cities and fighting entire armies by himself by splitting his soul units and consciousness into very small particles, the fact that he broke through to the Silver Soul is a natural result."

"...The boy is truly a genius, he is the hero of his own story," Robin sighed with a smile, then looked at Juri, "If I were a planetary spirit, I would be happy to be polished by someone like him, am I right? Huh?"

"Hey!!" Juri blushed, "Come on, go teach him how to reach my domain!!" Then she waved forcefully

Inside his underground chamber--

"Haa!!" Robin gasped loudly as his consciousness returned to his body and he jumped up from the ground as if he had been electrocuted, "Haa.. Haa... Haha, I found a way to make Richard stronger! I didn't think I would fulfill his request so quickly!! Hahaha"

At this moment, he heard Evergreen's voice, "Hey!! What happened? Where was your consciousness?!"

Robin's joy calmed down a bit and his expression turned cold, "You keep quiet for now until I know how to deal with you."

He then inserted his spiritual sense into the voice ring with a smile, "Richard, did you summon everyone?" This was the first time he had corresponded directly with his son, and it gave him a wonderful feeling!

The reply came quickly, "Yes, Father, I have gathered everyone close by and sent the Shadow Swords with instant space portals to bring all the important people far away, everyone is here waiting for you above Jura's main gate."

"Well done, as expected of my son!" Robin laughed loudly, "Well host everyone for me, I will be with you in a minute, tell them we have a war to plan."
