Lord Shadow

Chapter 390: Article of distribution (4)

He likes the Orvanians but in the end they still should have gone away. After the last invasion, humanity is not that big on receiving aliens.

‘They don’t want to leave and Death Monarch did not want to talk to them and he is in Pandemonium. And he does not allow any forces of World Government to enter.

Raymond think for a while and then ask

‘Ask him to rescind the banning. We need to at least talk with him or else the Orvanians would never leave Earth’

‘You think I did not try before?

Hirate said.

‘That was before. Now is now. It is clear from the Article that Death Monarch is letting bygones be bygones. Unless we are stupid enough to provoke him again in the future, this is the last chance he is giving us’

Hirate look at Raymond and thinking what Death Monarch has done since his return he could not help but scoffed

‘How appropriate’ And Hirate laugh.

Raymond frown hearing Hirate laughs then he asked

‘What do you mean by that laugh. Is there something funny with what I said?’ Hirate shakes his head and propose his own question to Raymond

‘Why do you think he sent the Article to me and the Republic. He is testing both of us’

‘Hmm?’

‘He is testing whether we would obey his wishes or not’ Raymond frowned

‘And if we do not obey?’ Raymond asked. Hirate smiles with his eyes.

Hirate laughed again as he looks at the ceiling above.

Then he shakes his head and said

‘Everyone know he is about to leave not long from now. Even the criminal underworld knows this matter. Why do you think there is so many people shutting down their door, and closing down their gates, and those criminal family head all hides in dark and remote places in the world? Death Monarch is about to go and leave his people behind just like before’

Raymond nodded. Thinking about it, it is really similar like before when he is about to leave.

‘At least this time he wants to make sure there is no foreseeable threat for his family. If we reject his demands right now, I would not be surprised that he would come to the Island of Peace for the third time with all the force Pandemonium could muster and reduced this beautiful island into dust’

Raymond close his eyes and then after a few seconds he nodded. There is nothing wrong with Hirate words.

It will probably happen like that if they dare disobey. Death Monarch would not leave an enemy that could kills his family.

‘Then Boris? Would he test him too? After all he is Katarina brother? Would he still do it?’

‘Heh. Why not?’ Hirate scoffed. He looks at Raymond and shakes his head.

Raymond did not yet read the Article that is why he could have said that. The terms while it is not disadvantageous to the World Government, it is very advantageous to the Republic.

He then said to Raymond

‘Boris would accept the demands by Death Monarch with opens arms. Why wouldn’t he? It is not disadvantageous to him and instead it is full of benefits for him and his organization. People might forget this but even though the Republic have gained tractions these few years, it still, could not compare to our military power or the experts that we possessed. But now with this Article of Distribution, he would get a claim to the lands he always wanted and be protected by the Article. All the seven powers that exist must abide by the rules and it is enforced by the cooperation of the seven powers. Right now Boris must be laughing in glee’

‘Give me that Article’ Raymond said as Hirate handed him the Article. Raymond look at one of the rules. It is the rules of war.

Death Monarch once talked this about with Hirate and express his opinions of how war should be fought after the Fall.

He wanted to establish some sort of rules of war so that any war between factions and the organization in the world will not stunt the growth of humanity and harm humanity chances in the future

It is written with the ideas of levels of power dividing the people so that no large scale massacres or mass casualties would happen in an event of a war between two opposing forces.

It has the consideration that the world needs to repopulate before it is too late. There are too many threats from the stars that they need to prepare from now.

It is also to prevent the loss of human fighting force.

Azief and Hirate agreed on this matter. neither of them wanted a repeat of the Weronian Invasion.

There are also provision of maintaining and establishing a lookout facility on the moon for any extraterrestrial activity near Earth and Milky Way galaxy in particular

It is a project that needed to be take jointly by all the Seven Powers in the Article to qualified themselves to become one of the sevens.

They are chosen because of their capabilities and because of their influence.

To create and maintain a facility of military and surveillance in the Moon to become the first detection facility for any invasion force.

Raymond then read further about the division of levels in the army that everyone in the world had to obey and its laws will be upheld by all the seven powers.

There is division from Pillar Forming to Disk Forming and the position they could take in a war and the lines they must not have crossed.

It is true that any Disk Forming experts is an invaluable fighting fore for humanity. Just their ability to wield the energy of the world makes them a powerful force that could move the Heavens and Earth.

Each Disk Formation experts could do thing that is impossible for anyone below them.

Other than the freak Death Monarch that could fight Disk Formation levelers when he is in Seed Formation, such person that could do such thing could be counted in one hand.

Seed Formation which is already a powerful existence in terms of levels and abilities, in front of a Disk Forming experts that ability and power is nothing worth mentioning.

Each of Disk Formation levelers strike is imbued with the energy they cultivated and could manifest as countless of variations of damage to anyone below the Disk Formation.

Raymond also agree on the viewpoint of Death Monarch that the population of the world is too low to fight off an invasion right now and what is important right now is to secure a few years of peace.

And this is the sentiment of the world right now and no one could stop it.

No one wanted to join any war right now. Even the League of Freedom is quiet these days and do not send their people outside their Storm Tide that much.

Other than the few known pirate fleet that is affiliated with Storm Tide, none of their core members could be seen and they turtled up in Storm Tide

The Article explains the division and also stressed consolidation of power among the factions.

The consolidation of power must be based on the numbers and each of the seven powers must concentrate in getting large populations. And in peace, population thrived.

Then he finally read about the distribution part and then Raymond said

‘No wonder he said seven. So this is the reason. It would make sure any of the powers and factions ruling these areas have no time to fight each other instead focusing on increasing population and making sure it thrives.’ Hirate who finally saw the look of understanding on Raymond face as he reads Death Monarch plans nodded solemnly.

In the Article in front of his eyes Raymond finally understand how Death Monarch intending to distribute the world

Seven parts of the world divided toward seven powers that exist in the world. And how is it divided? One for each continent of the world.

There is the continent of Asia which includes fifty countries before the Fall and one of the most populated continent before the Fall with sixty percent of the population of the Earth live here.

Of course because it is teeming with life it was one of the continent with the highest hit with China taking the brunt and japan remains largely unscathed by such high leveled monsters.

Malaysia where Death Monarch come from was also devastated because of the monster’s invasion though he really didn’t know much now about what happens there and there is only a few Malaysian that still alive in the world.

It is not surprising. The Fall and the invasion have even wiped out a few race from the world. And no one has any definition of countries anymore.

Small nations like Singapore was taken down into the ocean by some large squid. It is probably the Kraken that is sleeping around Pandemonium.

Teeming with life one minutes and then with one swipe of the Kraken tentacles, life cease to exist. How fragile the things humanity thought was everlasting?

But that does not mean all Singaporean dies. Some of them survives and went to other lands.

These kind of events happens all across the world and some nations even disappeared from the face of the Earth

Then who rules the world during those dark days?

Now, I am going to list about the new seven powers. Remember it if you can because they would make quite teh imapct and they would run the world
