944  Origin of the Pyramid

At the foot of the Sacrifice Step Pyramid--

With a bag of elemental energy pearls in his hand, Robin looked up at the Sacrifice Step Pyramid in amazement, "Just the fact that that pyramid can use a system to raise a person's strength by sacrificing others is something huge in itself. When I first heard about what the Stepped Pyramid does, all I could think of was how evil the person who created it was, but now I see that it's much more complicated…"

"…That system of raising strength is so complex and indescribably genius, that its creator must have been someone who sees the patterns of laws like me to pull it off, or at the very least a true researcher who knows everything about the natural energy, the internal energy system, and the bodies of living beings like the palm of his hand!" He then looked at the bag, "And now I also learned that the pyramid is also used to make special pearls? So even if we don't use the captives to strengthen our men, we can always use them to bolster the empire's coffers!"

"It's truly an incredible item, Your Excellency." Flora smiled gently. "There's something else in the pyramid that we all overlook, and that's the fact that it converts the broken foundation pieces made from different laws into the same law in the target's body foundation! That means that the officer sitting at the top of the pyramid now will have the 41st solid foundation through scattered pieces of the Corrosion Law, but in a few months or even a few years, that entire layer will be transformed to support the Dark Law. That's what happened to all of you, you started with broken foundations and now you all have perfect foundations from your typical laws!" Robin tapped his chin.

"...For example, you have a very special power, part of which is the Minor Flame Law, plus your body uses the Minor Blood Burning Law at the same time, producing that iconic red flame. How did the pyramid help you write the foundations that support this law? The same goes for Aro, he didn't have knowledge of the fourth stage of the Lightning nor the Wind paths, but he has perfect foundations now! Where did the pyramid get this knowledge from?" Then he pointed towards the Step Pyramid several times, "Inside that pyramid there are records of an infinite number of laws, and there is even a mechanism that detects the best law for the target and uses it automatically!" "....." Flora couldn't help but raise her head and take a long look at the Step Pyramid again. "Usually, a person studies the Heavenly Law and understands it, then forms his foundation based on his understanding of the law, sometimes producing solid foundations full of loopholes and problems because they depend on the person's understanding, but the mechanism of the pyramid is different, it builds the foundation by force and in an ideal way first, and then the person explores his new abilities on his own!" Robin continued muttering, feeling that an idea had come to him but he couldn't quite figure it out yet.

Flora nodded, "Indeed, after obtaining the 41st foundation, I didn't know anything about the 4th stage of the Flame Law, but I felt that the 3rd stage of the Law became very easy and I could do more things, and the more the purity of my 41st foundation increases, my understanding of the 4th stage of the law gradually increased."

"…Tell me, Flora, why would someone leave something like this behind?" Robin looked to the side for a moment before returning to inspect the pyramid, "Those who built this step pyramid were extremely cruel people who built the entire pyramid based on human sacrifices, exceptionally knowledgeable to reach this kind of technology and possess this number of laws, filthy rich because they didn't care about the secrets of the Orphan Blood Planet… Why did they come? And why did they leave this priceless treasure behind while leaving no other trace?"

"…" Flora smiled and remained silent, she knew that he was actually asking himself and not expecting anything from her.

"...I personally think the reason they are here is obvious, which is to conduct tests. Therefore, I think the answer to my question about why they left the pyramid behind would be one of two... The first is that the pyramid has a fatal flaw that was discovered after the tests and was classified as a failure, so they abandoned it." "But that's not possible, right? We've used it several times and every time it performs its tasks perfectly." Flora was afraid for a moment

"That's from our limited perspective, we haven't reached the limits of their knowledge yet, maybe they saw something we can't see yet." Robin shrugged, then began to observe the dimensions of the pyramid, "The second possible reason is that they had to leave quickly, something that big definitely couldn't be squeezed into a space artifact, there must have been some preparations being made to transport it and they didn't have enough time, maybe that's why they didn't continue sacrificing the rest of the planet's population." "But what would cause such terrifying people to leave in a panic and leave the pyramid behind?" Flora asked in surprise. Robin was silent for a moment then muttered, "…something even more terrifying than them."

5 minutes ago--Planet Nihari--Central Region

"Supreme General Sakar, would you allow us to advance a little further north? I will not cross the border, but it will serve as a reminder for the Great Serpent Empire's army that we are still here and watching, they are too quiet lately, acting as if we are not here..." The newly promoted Demon General, Barat, asked in a low voice with his hands behind his back.

He was promoted to General just two days ago to help the new Supreme General, King Sakar, manage the army and fight on different fronts. This is a dream come true for Barat. A few years ago, he wasn't even considered a king of a nest, so he wants to start his first war as a General as soon as possible!

"Not now, the atmosphere isn't ready to mobilize yet, it is impossible that they are not putting us in their eyes, this silence means that they are brewing something... We will wait for Amon to push them into a corner, just keep the army ready," Sakar replied calmly.

"Yes, Supreme General." General Barat bowed slightly and turned to leave.

*Bzzzz*

"Hmm?" Barat was surprised by the appearance of a space portal behind him, even Sakaar turned his head back.

*Step* *Step* A soldier from the Great Serpent Empire came out, his aura saying that he was already level 48, as strong as a marshal, holding something that looked like a cube in both hands.

"King Sakaar, one of the three kings of the demon race and the one in charge of the central army, you have been chosen to be the third and final examble." That person spoke emotionlessly like a puppet, "By the order of the Supreme Lord, then by the order of His Majesty Baythor… Die."
