Chapter 1193: Chapter 1193 1193: Conversation with an Overlord-1

".I understand that you have an Overlord - that fact shines as clearly as the midday sun. I do not know who they are, but I assure you of this: I am stronger than them, wealthier than them, and my influence stretches farther than their reach ever could." Robin's expression didn't flicker. He neither flinched nor reacted - his gaze remained steady, unshaken. He didn't appear impressed, but neither did he seem skeptical. Stronger, wealthier, and more influential than my Overlord, he thought. Is that even possible? If Robin considered The All-Seeing God to be his Overlord then this woman was making a bold claim. A claim laced with both arrogance and conviction. Was she truly stronger than the All-Seeing God? He had no way to confirm. The All-Seeing God had wielded advanced stages of essential Heavenly laws like time, life easily. He had seen glimpses of realities that should not exist, moments plucked out of possible futures. But this woman, this fox queen, she moved with the kind of confidence that didn't feel rehearsed. Even in her fragmented, incomplete form - a mere soul shard - her presence carried weight. It was hard to judge her full might. As for her wealth. well, Robin had no real doubts there. After all, he had heard the full story from Deivos the Transcendent. Planet Gudah - his planet now - was rich in elemental resources. Natural Ice Pearls. Flame Pearls. Natural cores and subterranean veins humming with raw elemental energy and rare materials. And yet. she had ignored all of it. She had overlooked what entire planetary empires would wage wars for, and focused entirely on the fox. On cultivating and preserving the bloodline of the Deivosians. On turning the entire planet into a sanctuary for a single creature. That. was not poverty. That was strategy. Long-term vision. Most likely, she was waiting. Waiting for Gudah to ascend from the Young Belt into the Middle Planetary Belt. Once it did, her soldiers could walk in through the spatial portal she had gifted to the locals. Those same locals who revered her, who considered her a benefactor, a guardian, even a deity, or even if some looked at here like some evil god. They would not resist. They would not fight. She would take the planet without shedding a single drop of blood. This was the brilliance of investing in young worlds. Of sowing seeds early and harvesting empires later. Even the Great Serpent Empire operated on this same principle. If any of its nine sponsored planets evolved, they would be absorbed instantly into its dominion - no war, no conflict, just prearranged allegiance. So no - her dismissal of Gudah's current wealth didn't mean she was unimaginably rich, but it certainly meant she wasn't in need. But richer than The All-Seeing God? That man had casually handed Robin the coordinates to Nihari and simply said, "I want nothing from it." That kind of gesture. wasn't wealth. It was abundance beyond mortal comprehension. And when it came to influence. Robin drummed his fingers gently against his thigh, deep in thought. Then, with calm curiosity, he asked: "Do you know someone who goes by the name. The All-Seeing God?"
