718 Confused anger
Eastern Region - City of Hope
*Boom* *Baam*
*Tak* *Tak* *Tak*
Jabba leaned his back on a huge chair and continued watching a live scene from the central region, where a little more than two thousand Law-wielders were fighting ten Martial Emperors with the help of divine weapons.
Two hundred Law Users for every one Emperor... The ratio was simply too short. One Emperor out of those ten could kill at least a thousand of them if he fought seriously, but it was clear that they were holding themselves back. Until this moment, they have not even used any specific law, but rather rely on their engraved weapons for all their combat uses.
"They fear that if they will kill their opponents too quickly, their enemy might send a larger army." One of the sect elders sighed, "I can't believe that otherworldly Martial Emperors are forced to participate in such obvious training processes..."
"...Is this considered bullying?" Another elder looked around questioningly, such a majestic vanguard squad came like a pack of lions to tear apart everything they could reach, but the Shadow Swords had tamed these lions and made them work in an unpaid circus!
The rest of the elders also watched the scene with bated breath and with great respect... At first, they did not understand why the forces of the Central Region did not completely rise up and kill the invaders quickly, with all the golden weapons there they knew they had the strength to do so! But these live scenes spoke loud enough.
"We have to thank His Excellency for supplying us with these new instant arrays. They will be a great help when the war begins." Another elder spoke. Strangely, the speaker this time was from the race of Nihari giants!
One year... That's all it took to subjugate the eastern region under the banner of the Nihari Union Clan.
Tribes, small sects, hidden organizations, and any entity large enough that opposed the sect's orders were destroyed.
The death toll in the eastern region has accumulated to form small mountains, It is said that the final number of victims has reached several tens of millions...
The strange thing is that the sect elders themselves urged Jabba to stop the war right after it started and told him to ignore those who survived, but unexpectedly from the former genius of Nihari, he was the one who strongly refused and even gave orders to accelerate the unification process!
What's worse is that he canceled the opportunity to escape to the mountains! He said that those who went from the beginning really wanted to avoid the conflict, but those who stayed until now wanted to test the waters and participate in the war if an opportunity arose, and these people would not be allowed to withdraw... With those two quick announcements, Jabba made clear the extent of his severity and everyone saw a bloody future. Everyone said that of all the Heaven's Chosens who tried to unify the planet, Jabba was the bloodiest!
But it soon became clear how correct Jabba's decision was. Seeing the sect's seriousness in the unification process and that nothing would stop them before completing their vision shocked many back to reality. Their aspirations were thwarted and hopes dashed, so a process of mass surrender began.
Jabba did not show compassion even to those who surrendered. All of their leaders and nobles took severe death oaths, and everyone who did not swear was killed and his body mutilated!
It was not expected that the eastern region, which had already been unified once a few decades ago, would be unified again with such brutality, but this is what happened... Jabba appointed himself as the sole ruler with an iron fist and a blood bath.
"Indeed, we must thank His Excellency for the instant arrays, without them we would not have been able to empty our treasuries so quickly!" Jabba sneered
The merchants of the Burton family offered the tribe 3 live surveillance arrays, 10 instant teleportation arrays, and 5 field hospital arrays. These 18 arrays cost the sect a huge amount of their reserves of energy pearls and rare metals, even after they seized all the treasures of the eastern region, this deal still hurt them!
"Truth be told, they didn't force us to accept the deal," Orzon interjected, recently noticing a slight irritation in Jabba's tone when mentioning the Third Heaven's Chosen
Although Jabba did not say a single bad word about his former master, his dissatisfaction was very clear recently after taking advantage of the situation to sell them a few new innovations at such high costs, so Orzon took a vow to himself to intervene every time to calm Jabba down a little because, in the end, they do not need any more problems.
"I did not say they forced us, but everything must have some logic!" Jabba pointed towards the live observation array, "A few of these damned banners, what more are they? Why do they cost 20 million energy pearls per array?! The amount of Uracilium metal used to make this array is not worth 400 energy pearls at best!! And why the hell do we have to buy the live observation and instant teleportation coordinates as well? And for 500 thousand energy pearls for each coordinate?! Even after purchasing a hundred coordinates, we are still unable to cover all the important zones in the five regions!"
"Well... they did not sell us the banners, but rather they sold us a way to watch what is happening in the world directly. You also asked for three arrays, one for you to follow the events yourself and two others to monitor the planet. And since the live observation array and the teleportation array depend on precise space coordinates, we need to buy the coordinates from His Excellency, no one else can use the Major Heavenly Law of Space. Let's be fair here, if you didn't think it was worth the price, you wouldn't have paid for it." Orzon muttered in a low voice, but under Jabba's harsh glare he closed his mouth again
"What about making us buy the fourth stage of the Perfect Laws Technique for 20 million energy pearls each? Or even worse, what about buying the Super Absorption Technique for 30 million energy pearls, which turns out to be originally a combination of techniques that I created and gave to him for free? And even more, he made us buy each vial of medicine to activate energy pathways for 10,000 pearls?! Then they made me swear not to try to discover and make the ingredients of the vials myself! To what extent do those scoundrels want to exploit us?' Jabba was furious
"Well to look on the bright side, this made us use the Martial Emperor's Realm powers, we should be thankful that he authorized the sale of these things to us in the first place..." Ozon muttered again.
"..." Jabba almost said something, but he fell silent and went back to observing the array
He was angry... Extremely angry.
Not only because merchants exploit their needs and impose these crazy prices, he is angry because of what he sees now...
So far, His Excellency has not officially intervened on the planet, nor has he stationed any forces or united anyone under his name, but he is clearly leading and organizing the central region against the invaders, and there are also reports of similar movements occurring in the southern region, where unification wars have taken place under the leadership of the Shadow Swords.
Didn't he say he doesn't care about the planet? Isn't it because of this that he left him and announced his separation as his disciple? Why is he making moves now? Does he intend to intervene or not? And if he intended to intervene... Why did he forsake him so easily that day?!
"Sect Master, urgent report!!" A panting person quickly came in from outside, "The Second Live Surveillance Squad has detected strange movements near the Desert of Death, please take a look!" Then that person moved and placed new coordinates on the Senate surveillance array, and a new image appeared in front of them.
There were more than twenty giant spacecraft slowly approaching the ground, all of them resembling the spacecraft hovering in the central region!
Jabba stood up slowly. He did not look surprised, more so than he was firm and somewhat hopeful. Waiting all these years had been unsettling and nerve-wracking. Finally, the decisive moment had arrived. "Let's welcome our guests, They have chosen to land with us, so we must receive them properly... Prepare the instant teleportation arrays!!"

Two hours later---
General Sully looked down and watched one of his ships burning
*VroOoOoM*
But he did not have time to comprehend, because at this moment another ship was being pushed by gravitational waves towards the closest ship, and within moments a major collision would occur!
"Who?! Who dares to touch my Fourteenth Fleet?!" The general shouted angrily, then activated a feature in his armor that appeared in front of the source of the energy waves. He took out a giant halberd and with a *Boom* he attacked that point without hesitation.
*Pzzzzzz*
The spacecraft finally escaped the influence of the gravitational waves, but stronger waves emanated from that spot to counter the General's attack
*Boom*
The General's attack broke through the gravitational waves after a little resistance and made contact with the ground, creating a huge crack
"Tsk~ High level Emperor, level 47 I guess? This is going to be a little exhausting..." Then a figure came out from that spot, his appearance suggested that he was a human wearing mostly black armor with several gold pieces on it and holding a war hammer twice his size. That person looked up at General Sully, "Thank you for choosing this region to land, now I will end the war before it starts... You will all die here!"
