Lord Shadow

Chapter 1711: Distributing the Lot of the World I

Order of Thinkers research using the human experimentation was not for the good of mankind but to create a weapon to be used against their enemies.

Did all the participant in the experiment consented? Or did their memories get tampered with? Did they really consent?

This is why before the experiment is conducted there would be inspector that would oversee such experiments so that those who participated in it truly understand what they are throwing themselves into

And the image of the Order of Thinkers is not exactly stellar.

Regardless, of anything else, these four people wanted the Order of Thinkers to be punished.

The matter is no longer about right and wrong.

This matter now touches the authority of the World Council.

The fact was that the Order of Thinkers instead of consulting with one of the three great powers, they crafted their own clandestine projects

Itʼs fine if itʼs just a clandestine projects.

All of the world powers have their own secret projects that they did not show to the world and to the other world powers

But during the World Council Meeting, each of the world powers agrees that in regards of human experimentation, it should always be informed

This is how a big of a matter this is.

The world powers does not care if you are going to build a world-shattering bomb, or an interplanetary destroyers, but human experimentation is where they draw the line

Azief could not say much about this because he as actually not present during this meeting. One thing he is sure of is that the other leaders of the world power takes this very seriously. ”I know all of you are not satisfied with the Order of Thinkers. But this is not the time or place. Now, we are only talking about the distribution of the Ten Seas. As for the other matter, when the World Council convene again, then we could debate this matter”

The other look at each other and nodded

Azief took it as que to continue ”Sea of Fire?”

Oreki, Hikigaya, Raymond and Jean all seem to ignore it. ”The Wilderness will get the Sea of Monsters. Antarctica Order of Thinkers would get the Blood Sea. World Government would get the North American continent and which sea does it want? Not Sea of Fire?”

Raymond shook his head. ”Give it to the Free Continents or the Island of Monsters that you wanted to create” ”Keep it for a while”

Then Azief look at Hikigaya ”Illusory Sea?” And Hikigaya nodded. ”Though I want a bit of change in the positioning” Azief nodded. He could guess what Hikigaya wanted even before he said it ”You donʼt want to be connected to the Free Continent?” ”Japan could be close to either Asia continent or the Free Continent but it must be separate. A continent island”

Azief nodded. ”That could be done”

Hikigaya and Oreki look at each other, nodded and Hikigaya nodded toward Death Monarch. ”Then I agree.” Azief chuckles. But for some reason, the moment Death Monarch chuckles, everyone in the room feel something wrong.

This is not like him at all. No one in the room is close to Death Monarch.

But they know him enough that rarely Death Monarch chuckles. And if he chuckles it would not be this light chuckle.

Mostly it would be a mocking chuckle and he would be full of condescension.

In the minds of everyone in the room, Death Monarch is like this gloomy, no-nonsense person, curt in response and treated words like gold. ”Donʼt be too surprised. Instead, I was just surprised at your choice, Hikigaya”

Hikigaya frown ”Whatʼs wrong with it?” ”Heh, there is nothing wrong with it. I just thought you would choose the Sea of Lightning” then his eye look at Oreki, he smiles and then added ”Oreki could use some of it”

Hikigaya hearing this, his face immediately turns dark.

Raymond and Jean on the other hand suddenly raised their eyebrows and look at both Hikigaya and Oreki.

Jean chuckles lightly while Raymond simply smirks.

Those two quickly knows what Death Monarch was doing. Since it is not their problem, and did not disadvantage them, they choose not to speak and to not get involved in it.

Hearing this Oreki smiles and shakes his head. ”Are you trying to divide us, Death Monarch?” Oreki suddenly ask.

The voice is calm.

He is smiling but it is clear Oreki eyes is full of animosity. But that animosity could only be seen for a second before the animosity quickly dissipated like it was never there.

There is some meaning in that choice of words.

Who would have thought that Azief would use the distribution of the territory to raise some doubts?

The Illusory Sea is very helpful to Hikigaya but it not particularly helpful to Oreki. The thing is, they are called the Twin Sages of Japan.

Since they united together, it is said that their bond is like brothers

But are their relationship is that unbreakable?

The world leaders doesnʼt think so. After all, before they united with each other, these two are rivals and was competing for the land of the rising sun

It wasnʼt until they sign the agreement in Kyoto with Hirate that the relationship between these two warlords become amicable.

And it is during the World Government many political conflict that these two people consolidate each other strength and united with each other politically to protect their interest and the interest of Japan amidst the joining of other nations and other people into the World

Government

The world might forget that these two people begins their origins as warlords. And they both have their own pride

But Azief did not forget. Nor did other world leaders. So, they know.

The bond that people thoughts is unbreakable....is not that strong.

Given enough interest, these two people could easily fall out.

Alienation tactic works from ancient times till today. Azief words is basically provoking that.

Why does Oreki have to abandon his interest for Hikigaya interest?

But looking at Oreki reaction, it is clear that these two probably have already discuss these matters beforehand and that is why Hikigaya did not hesitate to choose the Illusory Sea

Hikigaya could also see it and then smiling he said ”Death Monarch, there is no need to worry about this matter. I would surely make the matter also beneficial for my fellow colleague”

Azief only smiles at this and nodded.

Azief look at Oreki and Hikigaya again and chuckles a bit. The hardest thing to guard against is the heart.

It is a direct conspiracy. But it is a conspiracy that is hard to counter. Because it relies on trust. Once a seed of doubt sprouted, that seed of doubt is hard to eradicate.

Such is human nature.

Azief then brought up another Sea and the atmosphere lightened a bit ”The Sea of Monsters” Azief mutters and because of the silence it felt like he was declaring it.

The Sea of Monsters.

An apt name.

In fact, it is a little too close on the nose.

Like the name it is a sea filled with monsters.

For some reason, it attract monsters.

Of course, after Azief break through to Essence Creation, he had seen some clues for the sources of these peculiar characteristic of the Ten Seas.

There is creatures and items in the bottoms of the Ten Seas. Each of them seem to imbued the sea with the properties that have each sea its peculiarities. ”The Sea of Monsters would be put around the Wilderness” Azief already decided the placement of this sea

Hearing this Raymond could not help but said ”A continent for monsters and even the sea is full of monsters. It would be a double threat.

But for anyone who wanted to train themselves and increase their level as fast as possible, there is no other place that could give so much experience than this place. This would also help to lessen the dangers in other parts of the world, if most monsters are situated there” ”I agree”

Raymond had little flaws. But he have many virtues. And one of those virtues is none other than his caring heart.

He truly cares about the people. In his own way. It is probably because of the guilt of the pats that he is also very passionate in saving people. In trying to ease off the chaos of the world. ”Aye” Oreki and the other three express quickly.

Azief nodded and the matter is settled. And he quickly moves to the other sea. ʼWhirling Sea. Who should get it?”

There is silence in the room and Azief look at the other four and he shakes his head. ”This is quite surprising. None of you want it?”

Another silence but Hikigaya and Oreki look toward Jean and Azief could see some clue ”Lotus Order, League of Freedom, the Republic or the World Government? For the ones not here, did none of them ask you to speak on their behalf in this matter?”

Azief look at Raymond and then ask with a smile. ”Before, your side do not have the power to fight for this matter. But now you are also a

Divine Comprehension realm leveler. You now could compete for it.”

Then Azief look at Jean and his smile did not falter ”I think the Republic also wanted the Whirling Sea to protect the coast of their new continent.

Am I right?”

At this Jean nodded.
