Lord Shadow

Chapter 1395: Dome of ArturiaMind communication could save a lot of time and the more powerful a certain mind is; the more time could be compressed.        

  There is a limit to how long information could be transferred while at the same time maintaining a different time rate    

Hirate could for example talk one hour in the Mind Scape with someone else and when they both open their eyes, only a second had passed in the real world.    

But if he spoke the same time of length of information to someone else with a low level mental energy, when they open their eyes, a few minutes might have passed    

The more powerful a mental energy that someone have, the longer and the faster they could hold the information    

Hirate always found it hard to explain this to people.      

It is not that he manipulates time like Jean but in the mind, information could be transferred faster. Time and Space of the real world is not affected at all.    

Hirate take another sip of his coffee.      

Today, there is a lot of things that needs to be discussed and there are many things he need to prepare.    

He had been talking with Death Monarch for days now to complete the preparation.      

if people hear Death Monarch plans, they might think that he is being ridiculous. Because what he will propose to do is not some easy task    

ʼBut, if its him, I think he could do itʼ he mutters to himself      

But Hirate believes in him.      

Because this time Azief would risk himself. Yes, the control that Death Monarch would have is also a benefit but it is without a doubt that Death Monarch would pay a lot to do this    

Only he is brave enough to do this kind of thing. Other people might not be aware of his motivation but Hirate understood.    

He believes that when the news of what Death Monarch is trying to do spreads out, there would be speculations of why he is doing this.      

Some people might say that he is doing this to obtain more power and influence.      

And others might say that he wanted to dominate the world.    

ʼBut, he was never r that kind of person. It took me two beatings to learn thatʼ Hirate said to himself with a bitter smile on his face    

This time, it is because of guilt. Not many people know what truly happened that day. The day of the Multiversal Convergence.    

Of who is the true culprit of the Multiversal Convergence. And Hirate is one of that people. And Death Monarch is doing it is because he felt guilty.    

He sighed    

ʼMaybe, all of this is also in the calculation of Lokiʼ he thought to himself that Death Monarch rarely cares about what happen to Earth. Even if in the event where Earth could be destroyed, as long as the people Death Monarch considered family is safe, he might not care a bit about the people in it.    

Death Monarch has always been extreme in his personality. But with the guilt that Loki had put him on, now Earth has a protector. Even if he simply wanted to erase that guilt, it is without a doubt he would protect the Earth because of that guilt    

ʼIf he really foreseen all of this, Loki is truly a terrible opponent. He closes his eyes for a moment, listening to the wind outside.    

There is a Song.        

A Song only he could hear. A Song of the Wind. A Song of the Sea. Of the leaves fluttering, of the grass swaying, of the bird chirping.      

Hirate would be shocked if he knew that Erika the One Eyed Oracle also hears Songs. Like him, she hears the Song of nature, the Sea and the Wind.    

But the melody is different for everyone. He closes his eyes and he opens his eyes slightly after feeling a slight discomfort to his head.      

He thought back to the plan that Death Monarch told him.    

At first, he was not that optimistic about Death Monarch plans, but after a while he kind off warmed up to that plan      

For stability and for ease of control maybe only that kind of plan could work    

ʼThere is too much resistance right now and it is not conducive for stabilityʼ he mutters. His mind is also thinking hard on how to persuade his colleague later.      

Right now, Crime Alliance is active again. They are very much active and Death Monarch did make a comment about that    

Hirate could only sighed. he could tell that Death Monarch is blaming the six powers for the current situation.      

But, that could not be helped.      

Unlike Death Monarch and Pandemonium, Hirate and the World Government has quite the connection with the Crime Alliance.    

Pandemonium might have no problem not cooperating with the Crime Alliance but the other six powers had dealings with the Crime Alliance.      

But it is not like they are allies. Their relationship is basically just benefiting and using each other.      

There are are things that World Government could not do openly. Things that are dirty and bloody.      

At that time, the World Government sometimes relegated such task to the people of the Crime Alliance.    

Of course, there are also the Company, the most hired force for the World Government to do the dirty works.      

But sometimes, there are certain job that the Company would not accept or certain job that really need to be confidential.    

When that kind of job appears, it is usually for the Crime Alliance.      

There is also the fact that sometimes, they also get illegal weapon, the type of that bends reality, mass destruction weapons and a lot of that ilk    

And this kind of illegal weapon could only be gained by going through a not so legal route.      

It is the same for the other world powers especially the League of Freedom.    

If he really wanted to investigate those people who had illicit dealings with the Crime Alliance, Hirate is quite sure, he would find many cooperation between the League of Freedom and the Crime Alliance.      

There was information that before Narleod, the current head, the leader of the League of Freedom become a legitimate force, they were very lawless and have many connections with the people of the Crime Alliance.      

Hirate sighed again as he thinks about the League of Freedom. He never understood the obsessions that the League of Freedom have against the World Government.    

Hirate understood the slogan of course. To the League of Freedom, the World Government is restricting the freedom of the world and the people.          

Yet, for some reason Hirate doesnʼt believe that is the reason why Narleod keep gunning for him and the World Government.      

Even the Republic which use the Revolutionary Army slogan in the beginning was not as radical as the League of Freedom.      

And of course, Hirate tries to use his Mind Walking against Narleod in the past. All he could see was glimpses of a darkness.      

This darkness does not mean what he sees is a black mind scape.      

No, what he means by darkness, is this kind of feeling that consumes you with negative emotions.      

Sometimes he sees glimpses of a fire and this fire seems to bring negative emotion toward Narleod.    

But other than that, he did not see many things. It is clear that Narleod guarded his mind and his strength of mind is not to be underestimated.      

The next time he tries, he couldnʼt even see anything. It seems that Narleod had created a way to shield himself from his Mind Walking.    

Hirate sighed and finished his breakfast.      

It did not take long and the taste is not that good.    

It is not that his cooking is bad, but when you are thinking about world matters, rarely the food in your mouth taste good.      

ʼMaybe, I should follow the word of my gardener and focus on the food the next time I eatʼ    

But then he shakes his head    

He always reminded himself to focus on the food. Yet, each time he failed to do so. He sighed again.      

He got up from his seat, the plates, the spoon, the kitchen utensil all flew to the sink, the sink pipe opens, the cleaning utensil all flew and wash and clean the kitchen utensil.      

Like some kind of a witchʼs houses, these thing all floats in the air, like there in an invisible cleaner helping him cleaning up all of his mess.      

All of this is done in matter of second    

Hirate did not even look at all of this happening. He has been using his psionic force to help him do some of the more mundane things for years and by now the matter is already unconscious.    

He took a long look at his face in the mirror and he smiles    

ʼI look dashing as alwaysʼ Coming out of his room, he walks through the hallways before finally seeing through the open balcony .... a gigantic dome structure on the middle of the city    

ʼIt is really big and beautiful. I guess Death Monarch was not joking when he wanted to make this place the gathering spot from now onʼ    

This dome that is still under construction is called the Dome of Arturia.
