Lord Shadow

Chapter 2005

The sky is calm, the lotus fire, the red lightning dragon, the eyes, all of them seems like it just a figment of imagination

Katarina look at the sword and she frowned

She then looks at the ceiling and look at the sky above and she sighed.

"Even though it is this deep underground, the heaven could feel it and seek it and even send in a thunderbolt to break all of the protection formation"

Azief is wielding the sword and he smiles

He looks at the sky and he smirk.

No one could see the view he is seeing right now.

His eyes are not looking at the stars, the skies, or the sun.

or even the planet beyond it.

He is seeing the dimension hiding between the crevices of the current reality. He is seeing thought that folded dimension where the Heavenly Will is sitting.

Sitting on a throne of its own.

That Heavenly Will wears his face but he wears a gray attire. The attire is the same when he was Lord Shadow. Like the Assassin creed costume only grey in color

The Heavenly Will uses his face as its appearance because Azief is the mortal who is closets to it and affected it for a long time

Their gaze intersects with each other and Azief only smiles. But there is an expression of rage in the face of the Heavenly Will

Even though the Heavenly Will did not say anything, Azief could deduce the Heavenly Will feeling just by looking at its eyes

And he is angry

And nothing makes him happier.

Now, that he is recovering, all of his powers had returned. And in such cases, he fears no one

"He senses that I am healed. He probably is seething in rage right now. If he had been a little bit decisive, he should have attacked me when I am at my weakest. Though, it might be because he understands something that he had restrained most of its power"

Katarina look at Azief and spoke

"You refer to it like it is human"

Azief was startled for a moment and then he chuckles

"Indeed. It had so much of human emotion, that it would be weird to describe him as a baby throwing a tantrum" And he laughed at it and Katarina could only sigh

"Only you could dare refers to the Heavenly Will a baby throwing a tantrum. Anyone else…they would be afraid of being smite by thunder the moment they dare such words"

Azief only smirks at this and shrug it off like nothing. Katarina was not wrong. In this world, he is the only that could and dare such words.

No…. there is a few more, Azief thought.

There is Loki. And there is Void. And a few others. But those who dares said it loudly is probably only him and Void

Loki has always been someone that does not want trouble so he would not say these kinds of words.

He is not afraid of the Heavenly Will.

He just does not want to waste his time.

Azief could say it because he is one third of the heavenly will.

Void is because he is voided from all magic.

Even those of the Heavenly Will. And Void and the Heavenly Will does not have any conflict of interest

After all, Void did not absorb any heaven and earth energy.

So, while everyone owes the Will of the World and the Heavenly Will, if there is someone without a debt to the Heavenly Will, that would be Void.

Beside him is Arthur and Ahmad. And Azief right now is holding a sword.

The sword itself seems to emitting mist of power.

Azief had cut through the heavenly power with one slash. And even though the physical sword did not reach the sky, in that moment Azief cut off the energy of the heaven and even plunder the heavenly essence.

Azief look at the sword and he smile

"This would be a good replacement. Below Divine Comprehension, everyone has to bow in front of this sword"

Azief then handed back the sword to Arthur.

"I have taken a lot of the energy contained in the sword"

Azief weighs the sword again.

It felt a little bit lighter. But this sword is not really made by heavy material. What made it heavy and what made it light, is the number of wishes, desire and faith inside it.

Those who could not bear such wishes and faith and desire could not lift it. Arthur should have never been able to lift it based on his realm

However, the reason he could is because he is given the responsibility, like a conferment of title.

Azief confer him the title of Arturia and hence he is qualified to wield it.

In a word, he receives the permission of the Heavenly Will.

And Azief is one part of the Heavenly Will so even though Arthur should not have been able to wield this sword as it grows heavier, in Arthur hand, because of the title and the cause and effect of responsibility is given to him, he could wield it and use it freely

"But I also put something else in it. Even though it would take time to restore the energy of faith and merit back into this sword, at least the power of that punishment thunder would make anyone below Essence Creation fears to contend with this sword"

"Out of all the Divine Comprehension realm levelers the only one that would stand a chance against the full assault of this sword is only Raymond"

Arthur however could not listen to Azief words right now.

The King of Arturia, Arthur is still shocked because of what he had just seen

He had just saw Azief cut through the punishment thunder.

No….it is not quite accurate to say he watched Death Monarch cut through punishment thunder.

It is more accurate to say that Death Monarch cleave the heaven into two and force the heavenly Will to back down.

He always had known Death Monarch to be the strongest person in the world.

And he of course understood because of some event, Death Monarch inadvertently occupied one third of the Heavenly Will.

It is one of the reasons why he alone, among all the other powerhouses in the world, is not constrained like anybody else in this new era.

He alone held one third of the Heavenly Will.

Hence, why anyone said fighting Pandemonium or even trying to shake Pandemonium power would require all the six great powers to attack Pandemonium.

In other words, the whole world needs to fight Pandemonium and Death Monarch for them to even have a chance of weakening Pandemonium

One third of the Heavenly Will

It is because of this that the Heavenly Will could not tolerate him and would always try to either extract this part of the will from him or exterminate him when there is an opportunity

Arthur knows all of this.

But even so, the Heavenly Will is a powerful entity.

Those who did not yet reached Disk Formation would not feel it as much but those who do, understand that in front of the heavenly Will, you are like ants, unable to muster even the slightest resistance.

But today…. today, he had seen Death Monarch waves his hand, using the Sword of Humanity to cleave the heavens into two.

That eye was cut off, the lotus fire exploded, the lightning red dragon evaporated like it never existed.

And then if that is not absurd enough, as Death Monarch pointed the sword tip toward the ground, the sword absorbs the essence of that heaven punishment.

The way to describe it is like this.

Death Monarch make a swinging motion.

As that swinging motion pointed toward the sky, it cleaves the heaven and calms the skies, as it falls down, it robs the heaven fortune and luck

One swinging motion and all of the chaos in the heavens is calmed.

Today, he finally sees the true power of someone who is called the strongest person in the world. In front of sch a person, no intrigues and plot would work.

One swing of a sword and everything could be pacified.

This is the application of force in the most natural way

Like a mortal trying to stop a natural disaster.

You could not stop it with only mortal strength.

It is only now that he sees it with his own eyes, he understood the feeling of powerlessness. You could not even compare it to any other times.

At least in some of the enemies he had faced, there is always hope that he could overcome. But with this kind of gap, it is just a jarring feeling.

"Arthur?"

"Ah, yes, my lord" Azief only smiles and then give the sword to Arthur.

Azief then look at the sky again.

This time, the heavenly will no longer dares look at him. He smiles

"Now, it is time to go back. Things have gone way ahead of schedule. And the war become too intense too fast"

"I expected someone has always been trying to fuel the fire. I expected it. And it is what I wanted. But certain information that I know now, make me have to rethink my plan. Even though it is not as big as I wanted it to, this kind of noise is enough

"If it's too much, even I would not be confident" Arthur and Ahmad who is in the basement area did not understand at all what Death Monarch is saying.

But Katarina understood it
