Lord Shadow

Chapter 2135: Deducing The Future, Knowing The Future Is Bleak

Hence, certain words could not be spoken openly.

But from there Azief deduces something.

He had lost.

And he had lost terribly.

And that is why no one is betting on him

But he must have done something to make people believe in him. To make Odin, Wargod and even the Divine Monkey to bet on him

He had to change something, do something to make people he has a chance.

If he could even make things become uncertain, and more chaotic than ever, then he would have more ally than he could think of.

Azief had learned a lot and he grown a lot and his action over the years seems to become mellow

It is not that he had become mellow or too generous o to kind, it is just that he recognizes, that killing and destroying things sometimes do not solve anything

Sometimes, it is the death knell of your plan.

Things that live have potential.

Things that die, have their potential cut out from them

Whether it is the potential to be good or to be evil, as long as one lives, there is always that potential.

Certain events, certain moment could change someone life

Azief knows this.

Now, the Supremacy Stairway appears on his most perilous day.

Even he himself, no matter what other beings thought about his eventual fate and destiny, no matter how much fortune and luck that is now bestowed upon him because of that fate and destiny.... even he did not know whether he could survive this

Is it betting on him? He did not know

But what is happening to him right now is not a bad thing. Not a bad thing at all

Then he took his third step and his fourth step.

Not slowing down, not rushing, but leisurely walking.

Around him the beauty of the space is something that is enchanting, the kind of beauty only beings like him could see, the spectrum of colors, the interplay of elements and all kinds of magic and particles, the chaos and order that seems to intertwine each other and fought off each other at every second.... all of it, every second, of every moment of it is enchanting and hauntingly beautiful

It is a pity that mortals could not see what he is seeing. He only chuckles at all of these thought

All the while his body is now being strengthened. His body is already highly purified. Purified here meaning there is no dirty energies.

Energy is not entirely pure.

Not in the way mortal view energy.

Mortal would only say that energy is energy

In a way they are correct

Whether it is solar energy, wind energy as long as it could be used to power mechanism, this power is all the same

What they wanted is the result of that energy not the energy itself.

The energy is what they seek because the result of that energy being used is what is important to mortal

Would they care if the energy is impure or not when it did the same thing as any other energies?

They would not care and they would not know because mortal could not know the impurity of energy

But there is a difference of how mortals and beings like him experience the same thing

Magical energy that comes from some source will always have some impurities in it

If it’s from a world, it carries the will of that world energy.

If it’s a person, it would carry some of the other person method and magic and this is loosely defined as impure energy

In more simpler words, it is energy that is not yours. Mixing it would be like mixing certain oil of some higher quality with a lower quality

Then there is also situation where you are the one having low quality energy ad you somehow got a hold of high-quality energy

It might seem like a good bargain until you found out that the high-quality energy has a higher chance to overtake your energy

In a way this is good.

But it also means you cut off your own path.

The thing about the Grand Path is not whether your energy is higher quality than anyone else

It is what suits you better. What suits you better is the best not whether it is the best.

Azief did not have any impure energy in his body, he had been walking the perfection path a long time ago and his body and his energy have all long been refined and purified.

And even though the tribulation did not yet fell onto his body, he was in the middle of a breakthrough of the Sovereign realm

Hence...there is nothing to purify him.

In the past, this third and fourth steps would purify his energies and his body with each step he takes.

From his body, to his nerve to his bones and veins and to his blood, everything would be washed by a divine energy, washing it all clean and pure from any blemishes, any hidden illness and poisons

It would try to make his body flawless of impurities.

The qualitative change would have changed the aura in his body and the kind of energy it emitted and it would be like a mortal shedding its mortal skin and becoming something that is divine and holy

That is what he should be. The process itself would be without any pressure or any pain.

But now.... there is nothing like that. Instead of purifying his body, each step he is taking, he could feel all kinds of magical laws and rules being embedded into his every bone, every nerve and ever veins and even into his blood.

Thirty-three energy of beings enters his body and seems to be strengthening him. The kind of strengthening that a Disk Formation realm being could not withstand

But a Sovereign can. And right now, Azief in some way....is a Sovereign

These thirty-three energies, these thirty Grand Path.... he could take it!

He could bear it!

Azief is rarely boastful.

There is no need to be boastful.

But now, standing on these steps, feeling that the end is so near, that the culmination of all of his effort about to bloom, feeling of victory coming so close, and knowing that at the same time, he could very well fail, this contradictory feeling of believing in victory but also knowing it is a gamble.... he could not help but boast

This boast...is it because he is confident?

Or is it because he wanted to trust himself?

Right now, even he does not know.

Feelings are not that easily divided. And so easily defined. It changes by the second and changes by the thoughts

And then he walks again, the fifth steps, the sixth steps and finally before he even realized it, he reached the tenth steps

His entire body suddenly glow silver white. And light is coming out from his body. And it covers the steps behind him

Nine steps behind him are covered with this light

At the same time this is happening, in different worlds and in different universe, something is also happening related to Azief

Inside these universes, are countless worlds. Some are magical, some are not.

Those who are magical developed magical methods. Those who are not, develops technology based on the rules and laws of their world

The magical world and those powerful beings in that world saw a bright light.

Almost like a sun.

more like a star.

Those magical beings saw it and some of them went crazy when they try to divine its origin

Some have their eyes burned from inside out.

It is those who have ill intention, those who disrespect life.

Those who have such trait when they try to look at that white light, it was like they see the penultimate of creation and their viciousness, their evil was burned from inside out.

But a few of them who knew their limits, knew when to retreat and advance, they gain insight.

Some gain insight on their magical methods.

Some gained insight on their grand Path.

And some was instantly promoted by that light, feeling like the energy of the entire Universe surged into their body and they breakthrough to their realm of magic almost instantly, without any blockage or hardship

In a common world, without magic, they have their telescope, they have their satellites, their spaceships and the worlds that have reached a certain technological advance in these universes, also notices a white light

This white light once they measured with their measuring method give them reading that they could not make sense.

Depending on the distance, the energy is like off the charts.

But the most unbelievable thing is that light should not have reached them.

These lifeforms understand the concept of the observable universe. Out of the observable universes are universes that are too far away from their planet so much so that light itself could not travel and reach their planet.

And vice versa for the planets on that side of the spectrum

When talking about space and its limit, its wonders and its boggling behaviors, words is sometimes not enough to explain the concept of what it is that most people had to create a word just to describe certain things that is happening in space of which the vocabulary of the mortal words seems inadequate to explain.

Their world is very similar to earth in that the planets, stars and moons and other celestial bodies did not actually move

But the space move.
