Lord Shadow

Chapter 1214: Understanding Cause and Effec

Azief knows that while he does cultivate a few laws that is related to fate and destiny, if he were to rely only on his comprehension, he would never see such patterns

And thinking of that he touches his left eye and he laughs bitterly

He believes that this has something to do with the eyes of the Oracle.

‘Is this your doing?’ he said as he is touching his left eye.

‘A curse, huh?’ there were times during the projection that something appeared in his mind. It is the vision of Erika.

Of her past.

Sometimes, he would see visions and hear words. He heard a voice saying it is a curse. Azief recognize the voice belonging to Erika.

Who knows what he would see later as his understanding of fate and destiny deepens? Could he see Erika past? Could he also see her present?

Could he also see her future?

And what about her? Could she do the same?

Because Azief felt the connection between this eye and Erika. And between him and Erika. There is a mystical bond that connected them.

That even if he were to go to another parallel Universe or a different dimension or a different timeline, he could feel that connection.

The only difference is the degree of the intensity of that connection.

This eye even though it has already become his eyes, there is something that is still felt unfamiliar about it

This is the Price he had to pay for looking into the future. He shakes his head and then keep watching the projection. It would not be long before it is over.

He saw Aero began searching his mother and when the Chancellor decides to seek someone the whole continent would seek it for him

From his research he found out that his mother seems to know something about this new world. It is also a revelation to him that his mother actually knew Matsuo and Takashi

Azief could guess some of the story but he kept watching as Aero also found Amy, someone that he seems to have complicated relations with.

At the same time, intrigue of political drama is happening. Helena and Aero had something between them and Azief did not pay attention to this too much.

Something happened between Aero and the Emperor and let’s just say, that there is an altercation between the two.

Then there is also war between Vanheim and its neighbor the Orchish Kingdom. Azief skip past the war and the conflict in between.

There is also the resolution between Aero love interest which he also skipped.

And some relations between the people is revealed like the identity of Ariana in the real world and a few others.

And then finally, Azief stopped the fast forward function as Aero found his mother. Azief look at the fate of Helena and he smiles. He was happy that Helena got her happy ending.

It is surprising all the ups and downs of the people in the world. He had never felt like this before.

But when you see something as a whole, and not as one particular independent segment of other people lives, you began to see how connected people fates and destiny are

He saw all the choices that these people made and how each choices shapes their future. And he sees how free will is an illusion.

Mortals would always be constrained by the limitation of their senses and their body.

But he was not mortal.

The reason Azief resonate so much with this is because he wants to find a breakthrough on how to break his own fate and destiny

His destiny of destroying the Universe. Loki did not say much but what he said is clear enough. Then there is the vision of the future that he saw himself.

And is also the words of the Oracle.

It almost seems like him being the destroyer of the Universe is a fate that is inevitable, a destiny that he is and was and would fulfill.

‘Ah, just looking at them makes me smile’ Azief thought to himself. He saw that the people he had grown affection for get their happy ending.

It was not something that he had expected at all.

This world shows him a story like none other

It is a story full of heroic quest, of intrigue and politics, of colorful characters that is driven by all kinds of motivation and desires, of vengeful Gods, bloody battles and intense and passionate love stories

In the end, after all the hardship and the suffering, the struggles and the hard work, the world was at peace.

The Empire controlled by the Chancellor sign a treaty with the Church signaling an eternal alliance

Since the one in charge of the Empire and the one in charge of the Church are both players, they know that all the battle that would erupt afterwards is merely a distraction from finding a way to go back home to their world.

Before, when they did not yet get their memories, they have reason to fight against each other.

But, now that they have their memories, what use it decreasing their own numbers especially when they share the same desire and objectives?

Instead of trying to lengthen a war that brings nothing but death and destruction, it is time for the Vilajeri Continent to usher in an age of prosperity.

The two empires began focusing on the New World and colonizing it. They know by now that the New World is actually the expansion pack that the Brave World was about to roll out before the meteor news spread out all over the world

But they also know that now, everything in the world is real. That the people they killed are not NPCs but real people.

The two empire stop fighting and expands outwards from their own continent as adventures are abound in this new world that they live in

Of course, there is a lot that Azief had skipped. If not his mind would probably be too tired. Even now, it is being overwhelmed.

At the same time, Aero mother researched things on how to go back to Earth when she was missing

She was also a Goddess in this world so basically she could not be hurt at least not by mortal means.

But there is a story of hers that is also fantastical. She seems to tell the story to Aero and Azief who heard the story find the matter very interesting

But Azief did not want to rewind back to the beginning and seek her story

After all he is nearly at end now. Azief knows that this world story needs to come to an end before he could go to Earth X

At first, Azief did not think much of it but thinking of it, this might be the only way to find a trace to go to Earth X which could not be located in any other way.

Maybe by tracing the cause and effect, the Earth X entrance could be followed.

This is the deduction that Azief come up with on why he had to see the projection until the end.

When his mother reunites with Aero, there is a meeting between the people who are related to the matter of transmigrating all of the people of Earth into this game

And then there is a broadcast to inform all of the players all over the world. Since Aero mother is practically a goddess, doing such thing is easy for her

His mother told them that the act of sending them to this world is just a stopgap measure.

Azief saw how Aero tells his mother, shares stories about his life, shows his loved ones and his children to his mother.

Yes, Aero have children in this new world.

Azief envy that a bit. He didn’t have anything nice to say about his mother. So, he felt a bit envious for Aero who got a great mother that loves him.

His mother then researched on how to go out from the world.

There is something that happens in between but the gist of it was that the device is finally completed and they sent everyone back to what they believe is the location of Earth Two.

When Azief saw this, he could only shake his head. He knew better than most that the device would not send these people back to Earth Two.

Thinking about it again, it might be lucky that they were not sent back to Earth two.

Probably if they went back to Earth Two, what they see would be the destruction of Earth two under the Seresian demon.

‘Wait!’ Azief suddenly said and his mind opens up to another possibility that he never thought before

The fate of the Earth two was supposed to end in that meteor shower.

But clearly that is not what happens.

Takashi activated something and transported all the players that played Brave World into another world. This creates an instability in the dimensional barrier between Multiverses.

Coming out of the crack of that instability is him who uses the Universe Orb.

He became Hyperion, fought against criminals and villains and become Earth two first superhero.

But then the world is attacked by the Seresian demon and Azief had no choice than to send the inhabitants of Earth two to another parallel universe that is at the beginning of its formation.

In all of this, Azief miss one thing.

Maybe, it is fate and destiny fighting back.
