Lord Shadow

Chapter 1674: Questions in the World

But unlike Hikigaya, Azief did not have that much of love toward the people that rest under his banner.

It did not mean he did not have any affection at all.

It is just that if compared to Hikigaya, Azief population is very diverse. In Japan, there is only Japanese.

It is clear that Hikigaya felt strongly about his countrymen.

Even though the Empire of Japan is no longer like the Japan of the past, they still managed to retain their culture and their cities and their historical site is still intact.

It is different from China or Australia which was ravaged by the Fall. Australia become Pandemonium and is now a gathering place for all people of the world

And China is now being pacified by the Lotus Order.

But Japan..... Japan is different. Azief could guess this is Hikigaya plans.

And there is still many interests between Japan and the World Government that is entangled with each other.

And Hikigaya is not keen in provoking the other world power right now. There is many dangers in this New World after the Multiversal Convergence.

There is trident from some otherworldly gods. There is interruptions in magic from the Heavenly Will and there is a lot more problems than this world knows, out there, hidden in the darkness of the Universe

He himself needs time to digest his breakthrough.

Even though he is already considered a senior in Divine Comprehension realm, Hikigaya knows his true strength.

Even before Azief break through to Essence Creation, Hikigaya is not confident in facing Azief in a one-on-one battle. Because even though he is now in Divine Comprehension realm, he is in the lower stage.

At that time, Death Monarch is already at the pinnacle stage of Divine Comprehension realm. The only way he had a chance if he had team up with Jean., But now, even if he teams up with Raymond, Jean and Oreki, he did not think he could defeat Death Monarch right now

There is something different about Death Monarch right now. The energy could not be felt but there is this sense that Death Monarch is more dangerous than ever

Azief then said ”Do not stir up any unrest” he did not answer whether he approve or not. Hikigaya frowned at this but it is not like he could force Azief to approve.

There is a reason why that question is loaded question

Once Azief approve, it means Pandemonium approve.

So, the World Government have to stand down and cease all the secret war and the hostilities. Because then the matter would involve Pandemonium. And the World Government would not want to clash with Pandemonium because of this matter

But Azief did not want to weigh in on this matter now.

Nor should he set a precedent where he sided with the world powers without any trials or any agreement from the World Council

He made the law.

So, he should follow it. He wanted order. He wanted stability. Then the first step of making sure that the order and stability could be restored is for him to follow his own laws.

It is a trifle. But it is a trifle he had to endure then Azief sighed ”I doubt anyone would provoke you if Oreki break through. But I hope you would not provoke them either” ”The Crime Alliance?” ”if they provoke you, then attack. But if they donʼt, focus on stability. People heart is hard to predict and killing them is not always the solution.” Azie emphasizes stability because years of war had greatly destroyed the population of Earth.

He fears just another big war would send humanity to the brink of extinction. Hence, the ten Realm project become more important in his heart.

Then Azief turns to look at Jean.

There is a bitter expression on his face ”I know what you want to ask me. I would look at her. I donʼt know if I could heal her. The kind of....” But Azief did not finish his word and simply said ”Iʼll see what I can do. Maybe, if I see her again, I could see things that I did not see before” Jean nodded ”Just.....keep the Republic sane. Keep those senators in line. Donʼt start bombing things and start using your superweapons. If you want to do any weapon test, inform us. Donʼt let us think that you are attacking” then he added ”I know I am asking you to do things that I myself would not do. I donʼt know how much you either love or hate the people of the world. I donʼt know whether you care about the people of Earth or not. But the fact you are here, means you care...enough” ”Just make sure those Senators of yours not barking up a war again” ”When the time comes, I would send a message again if there is any change to my plan”

The other three people nodded.

Azief nodded toward them and it is clear he is ending the conversation. He look at Earth below him. It look so big and he look so small.

Bigger than Jupiter yet, the world itself is not that changed. Of course, it is moving in great speed. But there is a kind of barrier that keep it...normal

As for the debris that is hitting Earth, there is a force field around it that dissipates any meteorites.

The larger the planet, the higher the chance it would be hit by a meteor but these force field crush anything that could harm earth even before it could enter Earth

Azief knows what this force is. Half of it is the mysterious force that covers the whole Earth and spreading out from the world to affect the planets that has always been near Earth.

It even spreading to cover the entire milky Way galaxy making Earth, other than having the night and day cycle a bit longer, nothing much has changed

And the other one is the Heavenly Will itself protecting Earth

Azief look at another direction on Earth and then taking a step froward, he dissipated so fast that none of those three Divine Comprehension being could even catch where he is going

They look at each other and they quickly flies back down to Earth. An hour later, Oreki becomes the fourth Divine Comprehension leveler.

The heavenly Will clouds receded and the world usher a new birth of a powerhouse.

The Empire of Japan under the protection of the Twin Sages would become a powerhouse. World Government now also has a Divine Comprehension levelers

Five hours after the shocking incident that affects the whole Earth, every single world power and those who are at major cities of the world powers all learned the news

Death Monarch has breakthrough to Essence Creation, once again raising the ceiling of power in Earth.

There is still a road ahead for the others. There is still a mountain to climb, the peak is still far away

This would not make people feel discouraged. But instead become more motivated.

Those with ambition would want to climb higher. And those who could not would be weeded out

It is just that some people could not help but sigh when thinking about Death Monarch

He has always been in front.

And it seems like nobody could threaten that first-place position of his. His hegemony will continue

He still is, and remains on the throne as the strongest person in the world

The news about Death Monarch is already shocking enough but at least it was expected.

Then the world found out about Oreki. Oreki has also broken through to Divine

Comprehension realm

And this changes a lot of things and changes a lot of relations.

Now Japan has two Divine Comprehension levelers and probably this would speed up the alliance between Japan and Greece.

The World Government which seems about to decline just a few years ago, now also have a Divine Comprehension leveler and could now held its head up high.

Once again the World Government would be worth of the title one of the Three Great Powers.

Jean returns to the Republic and orders calm in the Senate.

Boris is pardoned by the Senate but he is not allowed to resume his duty as the Right

Chancellor until a specified time.

Katarina is quite at this time and it seems the Republic internal problem is resolved ...at least in the surface.

The other world powers hearing these barrages of news could not help but be shocked. Some of them speculated about what had happened.

And they wonder how strong is Death Monarch now. And what will happen to the other world powers?

Japan...would they make a move?

What about Greece?

The Oracle and the twin Sages of Japan joining hands, will it not create a third world bloc?

What about the Order of Thinkers?

They have always been dissatisfied with their position in the current world order.

Would they also make a move?

What if Japan and Greece move and it creates another instability in the world?

What about Asia? Could the Lotus Order govern the Asian continent that is growing more and more restless with more and more heroes and villains rising all over the Asian continent?

Then there is Africa. The world is now huge and vast. The alliance between the fifty and roe nations could it be maintained?

Or will the current geographical distance also separates them once again? >>
