Lord Shadow

Chapter 1783: Different World

The noise from the device was silent for a moment ”You should die a heroic death. Cooperate with the Order of Thinkers”

Hearing this William eyebrows frowned and then shakes his head ”If I do that, Helva would get suspicious”

The noise on the other side did not say anything. And William understood. It means that the organization wanted to get caught ”Fine. After all, Helva and I did have a thing.” However, he look at the distant sea out of the cove and ask ”What about Pandemonium? I should not do anything? There is no order about that?” ”There is no need to worry about Pandemonium” William nodded ”Godspeed”

Then the voice disappears and the static noise from the device also disappears. Willam sighed and look again in the distance and he shakes his head.

He throws the device to the water and as it falls into the water it dissolves into bubbles before disappearing completely like it has never existed. ”The Blood Sea is not that easy to travel. And if I am not mistaken, the World Government and the Republic has changed the location of the World Prison once again”

Willian has some idea. He could either goes to the Blood Sea and offer his help or goes to the prison and wait for them.

There is some people that he knew that could break the prison.

He has to assemble a team. Everyone thought that the World Prison is something that is static.

That is what the World Court wanted the world to believe.

The world is not like before.

People that could be imprisoned are not normal people.

They are not even people with guns.

They are more dangerous than people holding a gun and a tank.

Some people that needs to be imprisoned could even fled to other distant stars. Everyone is little gods.

How could the World Court feel at ease telling them where the prison is? Hence, there is this deception.

But William works in intelligence. And since he works in intelligence, if there is one thing that he should not lack, it would be intelligence.

He knows that the location of the current World Prison that the World Court seems to be promoting is not the real-World Prison.

One wondered what is the World Prison?

Is it like Tartarus in the Republic? Is it like a pocket dimension? Or is it a prison built in the Multiversal Point of breaches?

Is it like Alcatraz prison? Or is it a deep undersea prison?

It is clearly not in the plains. That would be too easy to break in. What the World Court tells the world, that it is a prison built by the Seven Great Powers and most of it is in the sea.

So, logically most people would think of the prison as some kind of deep undersea prison. Well, they were one third right

The World Prison is a moving prison.

And it is not just a simple moving prison like some kind of undersea carrier.

Its location is random as it teleported all over the world at random times and at random places under the sea. Not to mention there is all kinds of warning, disenchantment charms, space and time formation just to name a few.

Sometimes, the prison would even briefly goes to another dimension before entering back into Earth

A state-of-the-art prison. Helva should just accept the punishment and her people should not try to break into the prison.

But.... the more people told people to not do something, more people wanted to do it. And Helva is needed in the Order of Thinkers.

The Order of Thinkers themselves are not prone to internal problem so it is not a matter of succession or internal problem.

As for external, they have many but none that would threaten their rule in Antarctica. Helva...the reason why she is the leader of the Order of Thinkers is because she has the ability to amplify certain thoughts...among other abilities

If Midn Master could read your mind and manipulate your thoughts, using psionic force to move things, then Helva could amplify those things and even more

She could amplify and deamplify certain thoughts and even emotions.

And how does she uses this power with her colleagues?

Amplify their thoughts and creativity. This is something abstract but it is something that she could do.

Helva could theoretician even overwhelm Hirate to the point of madness. As the Grand Researcher, she also is one of the smartest people in the group

She majors in biology but after the Fall, her expertise has expanded.

It is her creativity that made her stand above the others.

Her ideas of wanting to integrate the magical side of the world and the science side of the world is incredible. And most of the current conveniences in the world today come from the Order of Thinkers

But as smart as she is, she is not as strong as everyone in the world. Knowledge is power. But only if that knowledge could be applied.

And in that case, power is power.

And when you are dealing with gods that could even change the fabric of reality, knowledge alone is not enough.

And so, she is captured.

And imprisoned.

Though, one must admit that the debate between the lawyer and the prosecutor in the World Court is a debate for the ages.

Whether you are on the Grand Researcher side or the World Council Laws, it could not hide the fact that Helva broke the law.

If she was Death Monarch. Hikigaya, Oreki or Raymond, there would not be such a spectacle.

Because these people are powerful enough that even the thought of imprisoning them would make the whole world shudders

Because the resulting avalanche of such decision would lead to a world war.

But she does not have such leverage and she does not have such influence

What she did was something the World Order could not accept.

The reason is simple. It is not because that they canʼt do it. It is not because they could not see the benefit.

There are many times before the Weronian War that the world powers and even the faction that struggle and compete for the world would do anything and there is many lines that they cross.

Geneva Convention, was merely a suggestion and not a piece of paper that was created to protect the people of the world.

But after the Weronian War, even the most cunning of rulers, as long as they have a heart understood something.

There must be a line that we must not cross.

Whether it be because of religious belief, moralistic belief, some lines should not be cross.

And the reason they see this because during the Weronian war, they see so many lines being crossed and they feel the pain personally, see the pain personally and they all agree that some things should not be done, regardless of the profit.

And those who refuse to have a heart, then such people should not live. Because these kinds of people would burn the village just to laugh

Before, the world did not have a court.

Partially, there is one.

But the enforcement was not as strict.

Nor they are united in cause

After the Weronian War however, Pandemonium, World Government and the Republic are not the only one maintaining this Court.

All of the Seven World Powers must sent people to maintain the court.

And when something that cross the line happens and such news come into the attention to the World Court, then a battalion of avenging demons would come and turns your world upside down.

The World Court itself did not outlawed human experimentation.

They just regulate it and make sure that all participant is aware. In desperate time, it is even allowed but even then, it is allowed under a strict requirement.

Because like the trial had shown, what is the price of humanity and what is the price of progress.

The world nowadays have more powerful technology than they did before the Fall. This is one of the changes of this New World

But there is other things that have also change.

And that is virtue and honour.

Things that used to be forgotten in the world before. This used to be unimportant

But maybe... because of pain, because of suffering, people banded together, community once again rebuild, and those things that people scoffed about in the past, is everything in this new world

A grim dark world that is slowly seeing the light.

Trust and honesty is now a virtue that is praised and revered. When trust is betrayed, people die and when trust is respected and honored, people survive

In such a world, where trust determine life and death, untrustworthy people could not stand and trustworthy people are respected and honored wherever they go.

Those who have good reputation could even convince mayors and city lords and appreciated by those powerful people and those who treat sincerity and honestly like dung would be repelled from far away.

Reputation is even more important than life.

Without the pressure of money, and the desire of seeking strength, seeking the grand path, people walk according to their path and their belief and their desire.

Heroic people, villains and everyone in the world have their own martial virtue. Honour and promises are not empty words for it binds you.

This kind of world is like returning to the world where oaths, promises and honour are all virtues that is even more important than life.

It is a different world. >>
