Lord of the Truth

760  Helen

Somewhere deep in the middle planetary belt--- Inside a dark room with only one light source coming from afar, a few books scattered about, and a tall, thin cup containing a drink redder than blood, a young girl opened her eyelids, "...En." The whites of her eyes were clear as milk, as for her pupils they were bright crimson, like the purest kind of jewels... But she immediately closed her eyes again, placed one foot on top of the other, and began to gently rub her forehead.

The girl was wearing a black dress that covered her entire body except for the area between the neck and chest, and even her delicate hand was covered with a thin glove... The girl raised her hand, took the cup, and brought it closer to her face to take a sip.

Her face... Describing that face was not easy at all. How can one describe beauty itself?

Her skin was smooth as silk and as bright as snow, Just sitting there was like a second source of light inside the dark room. However, her snowy white color did not give her the appearance of paleness, rather, she was vibrant with life no matter how one looked. Her hair, even though it was randomly tied up with a dagger-like red hairpin, still looked like a fountain of pure silver that could not be disturbed, and below that silver hair was a small forehead with two perfect eyebrows that seemed to be drawn with a pencil, beneath them were those two charming red eyes protected by long, curled eyelashes. On both sides are two small ears from which hang earrings made of red gems. In the middle of her face is a delicate and small nose that seemed to be a jewel on its own, and beneath that nose are two lips that are not known whether they are redder or the syrup that flows between them...

A human girl in her early twenties? No, this beauty was not for humans, and this prestige and powerful aura that surrounded her transcended the limits of humans.

"Helen!! You finally opened your eyes. Why have you been unconscious for so long?" A little girl formed from the threads of the rug asked gently. It was clear that it was the spirit of a planet

"...I heard the most bizarre story! About a man I cannot decide whether he is strong or weak, lucky or unfortunate, wise or foolish..." The girl in black, Helen, smiled and took another sip of her drink, "But it doesn't matter now, the main character will be dead soon."

"A story?" The little girl tilted her head to the side, then put her hand over her little mouth and gasped, "...Your energy level!! There is some damage to your soul as well... Have you spent all this time on a young planet?!"

"I can heal all the damage and restore my energy level within a few weeks in the time chamber, don't exaggerate too much." The girl in black smiled and rested her head on the chair

"Oh, are you planning on sneaking into the Time Chamber again? I hope you're ready to hear this news then..." The little planet spirit laughed casually.

"What?" The girl in black replied calmly, still with her eyes closed, What could the planet spirit say, for example? Maybe there is a report that she lost a trade or lost control of a planet? How does this compare to what's in Nihari? Nothing could disturb her concentration now.

The planet spirit smiled maliciously, "Your father sent an invitation to you and all your siblings. A family gathering will be held next week."

"WHAT?!" The girl in black stood up quickly as if she had been struck by lightning, "Call all the available army commanders for a meeting right now!!"

"Pfftt, gathering the army and launching a random war to pretend that you are busy will not work, you already used that excuse many times, plus have you forgotten that you need the Time Chamber? There is no escape this time, hehe." The little planet spirit put her hand to her mouth and giggled

"..." Helen sat there weakly, resting her forehead on the fingers of her left hand, and let out a long sigh, "...Alright, I'll go. Just tell the men to prepare a number of epic equipment enough to arm several thousand individuals... There is a big war about to happen in the young planetary belt."

"Oh, and from where exactly will they get that equipment from? ...Helen, do I still need to remind you that you're broke?" The planet spirit crossed her hand on her chest and raised one eyebrow

Helen bit her red lip for a moment, "...We will borrow the Third Army's weapons then. Tell them to hand over everything within a week."

The planet spirit took two steps forward, "You want your men to continue a war against another planetary kingdom naked?!"

"It wouldn't be the first, even I fought without a single Epic Weapon at some point." Helen waved uninterested

"...Okay, I won't argue with you about that, I will send orders." The planet spirit nodded in understanding.

 A few thousand years had passed but she still remembers that army of beggars who came and forged a path of blood until their master was able to defeat a huge number of competitors and refine the planet's spirit for herself. There is even no need to go back in time that far, up to this day, if a soldier in Helen's army breaks his armor or sword, there will be no replacement for him.

After a short silence, Helen continued, "Just tell Cyril that if we win the battle of the Young Belt and get that planet, we will bid farewell to a life of poverty forever. The Third Army's sacrifice will not be in vain. They just need to man up and endure!"

Normally, she would not have given any of her leaders as much as an explanation for issuing a bizarre order like this, as she said, her soldiers are accustomed to fighting with what is available. but General Cyril is now in a battle against a large family over the rights of a planet in the Middle Planetary Belt. The battle is already fierce, and he requests reinforcements every few months, when new orders arrive, he will most likely need at least a few calming words.

"You're going to the family gathering anyway, you can just ask your father for----" The Planet Spirit's words got stuck in her throat after he noticed the cold look from the red eyes in front of her, "Alright Alright, jeez keep your gaze to yourself! why do I even bother with your business, I'm going to do mine!"

After the spirit of the planet disappeared, the small room became quiet again, and Helen returned to resting her back on her seat and looking at the blood moon through her large window..., "A Truth chosen of the highest order, a massive planet at the level of a Galactic Seed, A person who calls himself the All-Seeing God and can predict the future says that he is my rival... Where did all this suddenly come from? Something strange is happening, something I can't put my hands on."

A few days passed while she was sitting there, watching the eternal blood moon in the middle of the sky, trying to put together the pieces of the puzzle, a huge puzzle that she found herself in without her realizing it... In the end, she sighed, then took out a black mask decorated with black feathers and a red jewel hanging from the left side, with it she hid her entire face except for her red lips... Then she silently disappeared. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
