Chapter 2062 Breaking all bridges

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

<Do not message me again, Lady Kaylis. This is not befitting of you, and it is not befitting the agreement that was concluded between you and my son,> he wrote, then continued after a brief pause,

<We have not withdrawn from the agreement, nor do we intend to withdraw from it either, but everything has its time, and that time has not come yet. Rushing it will only destroy what remains of its balance.>

Then he added with clear seriousness,

<The agreement includes the marriage of your daughter to my son Richard, and then your complete severing of ties with the Bright Galaxy, leaving it to become Serene's property. How do you honestly think this can happen right now, in the current state of the war and the cosmos?>

Then he continued, his words growing heavier,

<Canceling the refinement of a single planet is exhausting enough, so what about an entire galaxy? Do you understand the scale of that? You will need a long period just to stabilize the aftermath. You will need several royal soul masters to protect you, assist you, and maintain balance, and you have neither of those. The war is still ongoing, and you must stand in the front lines to fight. Your presence as the face of the war is what drives more powers to rush into battle against the cursed Behemoth forces and the Savage Behemoth, alongside you and alongside Lord Hedrick. Without you, that front collapses.>

<Second, even if we assume that the deal is completed, the wedding happens, and Serene becomes the owner of the galaxy, what comes after that?>

Then he added firmly,

<Wasn't your condition the destruction of the Curse Galaxy? How do you expect that to happen without first destroying the cursed Behemoth forces?!> Then he shook his head slightly in the recording, his tone calm but final,

<Lady Kaylis, be patient, and fight. Whether you fight now, or fight after the announcement of the marriage, in both cases you will fight with your own hands, and we will not interfere. No one will go to fight in your place. No one will carry your war for you. Be patient. Endure. Build your victory properly.> Then he pressed send.

"Tsk~" Robin's expression immediately showed irritation as soon as the recording ended. "That woman has relied on Darvion since the day she was born, and now she wants to rely completely on someone else as well." He exhaled sharply. "What exactly am I supposed to do? Take my forces and go face the cursed Behemoth by myself just for her sake? Even the galaxy will go to her daughter in the end, not to some stranger!"

He waved his hand in frustration. "I'm surrounded by people who aren't rational at all. Not even a little."

"Hehe~"

At that moment, a fairy appeared on the mirror with her familiar laugh, her presence light and playful.

"If everyone is irrational to you," she said teasingly, "maybe the problem is you, Lord Human?"

"Temari..." Robin's expression softened instantly, a genuine smile appearing on his face. "It's been a long time."

Even though Temari always tried to stick her nose into everything he did, and even though he had hated her style for a very long time, he knew this was exactly what she had to do for the Soul Society. He had grown used to her presence, to her directness, her playful interference, and her lack of rigid formality.

The one who replaced her tried to do the same things: extracting information, asking him to remove the barriers around the soul sapling, pushing him toward more projects and larger plans, but she did it in a frozen, protocol-driven way that felt mechanical and nauseating. It felt empty, artificial.

He would need a long time to get used to her presence... and he had neither the energy nor the patience for that.

"I didn't realize I had a special place with Lord Human," Temari said with a playful smile, "that's reassuring to the heart."

Then she puffed her cheeks in slight annoyance. "But your special request put me in a really awkward position with Lord Morval. I got hit with a big complaint. A very big one. You're going to have to compensate me with a biiiiig request that makes dealing with that mess worth it, okay?"

"Hm? Your substitute filed a complaint against you?" Robin raised his brows in surprise, genuinely confused. "What exactly are you, anyway? Conscious soul creatures? Humans controlling these bodies? Aware souls trapped here? Something else entirely?"

Then he added, narrowing his eyes slightly, "And also... where were you?"

"Does any of that really matter, Lord Human?" Temari smiled, tilting her head slightly, her expression calm and confident. "What matters is that I'm here

now."

She leaned forward a little and added softly,

"So... how can I help?"

****

Robin held his gaze on the fairy's eyes for a long moment. It was obvious she couldn't speak at this point. His voice was calm but heavy with intent.

"I have two major things I want to announce today."

"Oh? And what are they?"

Timari's eyes sparkled with curiosity. She clapped her hands excitedly, then suddenly stopped herself.

"No, no, wait a second. Since you've opened the messages, you should read everything properly. You've received messages from extremely important

people!"

"I've seen them."

Robin glanced at the message list, where only a single name appeared. A low chuckle escaped him.

"And I already replied to the Pure Kaylis."

"Your 'I don't care' attitude makes you ignore important things sometimes,"

Timari said as she scrolled down the messages carefully until she found a

specific one and opened it.

"Like this one."

At that moment, the image of a young man appeared before Robin. Handsome, with silky hair slicked back neatly, his overall appearance screamed

"human."

Yet several dark, moving patches crawled across his skin, sending a chilling sensation through the air. It was clear they were connected to curses and the negative karma that continuously accumulated on him.

"Damir? That's strange..."

Robin raised an eyebrow.

He was the son of the Behemoth of Curses. Robin hadn't expected him to contact him again after his identity as Hedrick's supporter had been exposed. Lord Damir appeared in the recorded message as if he were staring at Robin

with barely restrained anger.

Then he opened his mouth and spoke:

"<Human Lord, I was deeply hurt when I heard that you support someone like Hedrick. Why would you do such a thing? How could you, especially when you helped us strengthen one of our curse variants? I truly do not understand this at all, and I hope it is nothing more than a baseless rumor.>" After a brief pause, his tone shifted slightly:

"<If our trade does not meet your expectations, then we will raise its value. And if it is a personal issue, then tell us what it is, and we will resolve it.>"

He stared intensely for a moment, then continued:

"<Do not stand with the losing side, Human Lord. What we intend o do in the

Mid sector 101 will be done, whether its inhabitants accept it or not, both the

galaxy and Serene will be mine. We only want you to open your eyes and stand

with the rightful side... the winning side.>"

After those words, the message ended.

"Hmm..." Robin let out a long, slow breath. His face showed no expression at all.

He turned slightly toward Timari and asked calmly,

"What do you think I should reply with? Or is it better if I just ignore him

completely?"

"That depends on why you built a relationship with him in the first place,

Human Lord,"

Timari replied thoughtfully.

"And how much damage their discovery of your true position caused to your

plans."

"Damage?"

Robin looked back at the image of the curse lord's son.

"Nothing at all."

Then a smile appeared on his face, slow and confident.

"I was strengthening them and supporting them with Pearls so they would keep applying pressure in the Mid sector 101, through deals whose total value

reached several billions. But now, after I buried their footing and destroyed

more than 3000 fleets for them, there's no longer any need to dea

with them,

they won't stop attacking now, they can't."

"Hehe, you're terrible, Lord Human,"

Timari covered her mouth with her hands and laughed softly.

"So that's your answer, then."

"Hmm."

Robin nodded several times, then pressed the reply button.

"<Once I choose a side, that side is the winning side,>"

Robin replied, lifting his head high.

"<Keep your curses to yourself, I won't buy anymore. Maybe they'll help you in your losing war. Consider all deals between us completely canceled. And by the way... do not ever speak Serene's name again, and do not let her image pass

through your thoughts. She belongs to my son.>"

Then he pressed send.

After that, he turned toward Timari and said coldly, "Block that bastard. I don't want to see any more messages from him."
