Chapter 939 The step pyramid

939  The step pyramid

Meanwhile-- Orphan Blood Planet--

*Step* *Step* *Step*

"Wow..." Robin looked up in amazement and apparent excitement, something he hadn't experienced in a long time, too long that can't even remember.

At this moment, the huge step pyramid was in front of him, consisting of six steps, where the bottom one was the largest in size, then the middle one was smaller, and so on til it became big just enough for someone to sit at the top~

The pyramid was a yellowish color, shiny as if it was emitting its own light. From top to bottom, it was covered with visible engravings. The strange thing was that Robin found several broken places in the pyramid and traces of deep attack marks in the rocks, and yet those engravings were written in the place of the gaps!

"Look at where those runes are drawn, why would someone build something so magnificent yet so imperfect? …The runes drawn there in these bits and cracks can mean one of two things, This can only mean that these attacks and incomplete areas were handed over to be Rune Masters in this state and they got it over with in a hurry, or it is that the pyramid has the ability to rewrite the missing runes even if part of them were to be destroyed…" Robin muttered as he watched the pyramid, and quickly ignored the first option… Whoever built something as magnificent and massive as this wouldn't hand it over unless it was in its perfect condition, especially since those gaps spoil its appearance and are easy to repair!

"I expected you to comment on the location of the pyramid first, Your Excellency." Beside him, Flora smiled upon hearing Robin's mutterings.

Every time a tribal leader came to see this place for the first time, he would freeze in horror and talk about how the pyramid was here, but Robin ignored its location and talked about the rune locations instead! Robin lifted his head up more to see a roof of rocks above his head, and above the pyramid… Yes, the pyramid was underground, specifically in the interior of a mountain. "Hmm, I'm more interested in the rune techniques of other civilizations, so that caught my attention first, but the presence of the pyramid here is something that really raises questions. The materials used to build the pyramid are not the same as the natural materials in the mountain. This means that the mountain was hollowed out and the step pyramid was built inside the cavity or was the step pyramid placed here and then the mountain was built around it as a camouflage." Robin began to examine the place around him with his golden eyes, "In either case, for some reason, I can't determine what happened. Do you have any ancient writings about it?"

"Not specifically, all we know is that there was a world war hundreds of thousands of years ago, at that time the wars were at their fiercest on the planet, but we were all human, at that time it was mentioned that a people suddenly appeared and took control of this area with great ease and then they started capturing everyone and turning them into demi-humans, and whoever turns into a demi-human successfully they simply throw him outside and start messing with others." "...it was mentioned that thousands of people were transformed at that time and that each one had a completely different race from the others, there were no two alike from those who were transformed, after that those people multiplied with human females and each one of them formed his own tribe and they started fighting, most of them became extinct, only a few tens of species that we have today remained." Then she continued, "...It was also said that a large number of people were captured at that time and sent to this particular mountain and that they came out again as lifeless bodies, but this was a one-off incident that did not happen again, after that those people spread out all over the planet extracting things and destroying areas randomly... then they disappeared just like they appeared, quickly and secretly, we do not know why they appeared and why they left, and they also left that pyramid behind them." "....." Robin frowned as he watched the pyramid, this was really not the first time he heard about the history of the Orphan Blood Planet, but every time he found many fallacies in it, and the more he knew, the stranger what he heard became.

For example, at first, he was like the locals, he didn't know if those people were an ancient civilization hidden and decided to appear suddenly or if they were invaders who came from another world, but after he heard about the device in Planet Gudah that turns people into demi-humans, he was sure that this technology was not an invention of an ancient civilization, but something that came from a higher belt, that is, from outside the planet. But this gave him more questions... Why would they turn all of these people to demi-humans for free? And they even gave each one of them a huge amount of beast blood enough to make him give birth and create an entire tribe from his offspring, but where did they get all that different blood from? The Orphan Blood planet doesn't contain all these different types of powerful beasts, otherwise, the humans of the planet would have become extinct a long time ago. And most importantly... Why did they leave something like the pyramid of sacrifices behind them? And why did they only use it once instead of sacrificing all the inhabitants of the planet? It's simply a way to cheat. As long as that civilization continues to wage wars and collect prisoners, they can create endless armies, or has their leader suddenly developed a conscience?!

"Interesting..." Robin lightly scratched his chin, the Orphan Blood Planet holds a great secret, "This experiment will be fun."

*SLAAASH*

"Advance!"

"Wh-- what are you going to do to us?!"

*SLAAASH*

"ARGH!!!"

"No one is allowed to even catch their breath, keep waking you snakelings!!"

Behind Robin and Flora, rows after rows of prisoners of the Great Serpent Empire began to advance into the mountain, all of them exhausted from lack of food, in pain from the pain of the sealing nail, and whoever stood for a moment was struck with a golden whip that cut through their flesh, everything around them was gloomy and pitiful.

However, Robin continued reading the runes as if he did not hear anything... In his eyes, the atrocities that those war criminals committed in Nihari, Orphan Blood, Greenland, and before that on 9 other planets, made them deserve to die, and if he had a way to revive them after their death to kill them again, he would do it gladly.

"Father, everything is ready." Theo let the prisoners advance under the control of the Shadow Swords, then advanced with several dozen people behind him, some wearing Shadow Swords uniforms and some wearing the golden uniform of the army, "We can begin the sacrifices now." "Wait." Robin raised his hand to Theo and then turned to Flora, "Where is Aro?"
