Lord Shadow

Chapter 1788: Restriction

So, Azief has never been worried about the Untainted Land.

Instead, he is quite happy that things become like this.

Because from the beginning of the creation of the Untainted Land, he wanted the people there to have a chance to live and pursue the peak of power at their own pace while at the same time having the ability to compete and not get left behind

The only difference between the people outside the Untainted Land and the people inside the Untainted land is the difference in lifespan.

Time does have an effect in the soul.

They were suppressed and their breakthrough is a little late compared to the people of the Outside World but Untainted Land levelers all have sturdy foundation and strong combat ability because they needed time to break through.

Not to mention the scarcity of the energy of heaven and earth each time someone break through into Disk Formation leveler inside the Untainted Land.

That is one problem that he is not worried about so he did not care about Loki in the Ghost Ship heading toward the observatory island of the Sveen World Powers.

He did want to meet Loki but he knows Loki himself probably could guess if he is coming or not. And he is not coming.

Loki has his method to know things and Azief also has his own method to know stuff.

He even knows that twelve people would break Helva from Leviathan Hold.

It is not because he has some powerful intelligence agency telling him all of this. It is the future he saw.

And that is only the tip of the iceberg of the problem that would break out in this year. When he saw the future before, he could see all the problems that would pop up and happen in the twenty years.

Even in the first year of his seclusion, there is problems, wars and battle but none of them would require his intervention.

None of it would reach to the point of a world war or a great extinction event or an invasion.

Actually, there was an invasion in the fifth year by a group of mutant Breachers from a different world

Azief did see this when he was looking at the future

The world didnʼt even know about it because the World Government and Raymond simply crushed these mutants and since then have been imprisoning them under the sea, inside the Leviathan Hold.

But in all of those years of future sightseeing, none of them could hold a candle to what will happen this year.

The twentieth year.

All kinds of problems seems to be popping up altogether but Azief knows it is not because they pick this year to suddenly went amuck.

It is because twenty years is a perfect time to make problems after recuperating. In the twenty years he is in seclusion there is civil wars among the world powers but no world war, no war big enough to be considered a catastrophe to the rest of the world and most weakened faction had time to recuperate and plan.

And twenty years is a good enough time to recuperate.

And now that they have healed, have enough ammo and strength, it is time for them to come out of the woodwork and do what they want to do

It is the same for the Order of Thinkers and it is the same for the Crime Alliance, the world powers, the rogue factions and the crazy ones in the world.

Everyone recuperated and their intention are all the same. To be like the phoenix that rises from the ashes. ”They wanted to make trouble and I should end the trouble” Azief had felt the Karma binding him

And he also wanted to do it because of his own heart. A man that used to not care about the world is now caring about the world.

Maybe heroes that wanted to save the world are all like this. Some of them did not even think of saving the world. Some even hated the world.

But the more they see, the more they experience, the more they are in the world and the more they loved the world

Azief also has some guilty conscience about the world.

Multiversal Convergences, the fight between him and the Demon King, the war with the Crime Alliance, he is in the center of all of those fight and each of those fight shaped the world that it is today.

So, how could Azief just simply pat his butt and go away? He could not because his heart could not do it.

In the past he could do it.

But he could not do it any longer.

Because eve when he was in seclusion, even when he was in that protective barrier of the Crystal Palace, he could hear the prayers, the wishes, the dreams and the desire of the people

Those who believes in him, who worship him, who have great love and admiration for him, when they pray and they thought of him, these thought goes to him

It is not like he is a computer being uploaded with wishes. It is more like the nuance of that wish is downloaded into him.

The more desperate they are, the more he could hear it.

And because of that Azief become even more empathetic.

Because he could now understand why some people did what they did. Other people could not know the cold sorrow of these people lives, but he did

He knew them before they went crazy, before they went evil and he even understand why they turn evil.

Some went crazy and some are evil under the standard of mortal law, but even then, Azief could understand this people.

He did not understand the sorrow of these people before. When he didnʼt know them, taking heir lives is as easy as snapping his finger.

But once you understand some of their pain, it is not that easy. Every life then become a burden and have value.

Even the monsters.

But even though he understands sometimes, the method of these people are wrong and it is like a wild crazy dog roaming around attacking innocent people.

And there is only one thing you could do when you meet such a dog. You have to put it down. But, because of this he learns to care about the people of this world.

Because he now know their pain.

And when once he know their pain, it is harder to close his eyes off from those pain

So, he woke up after twenty years to solve the problem of the world. For these people and for the world.

Even he felt it is really funny. In the past he would never said something so grand. If he fights the world, it is simply because the world take something from him.

Knowing fate and destiny, cause and effect he became aware of something else and sometimes it is not the world, and it is the circumstances, it is himself.

Sometimes, the best way to change the world, is to change yourself. Once you change yourself, you would see that the world change slightly.

But, right now, Azief could feel that there is something that has changed. Not about the world.

And he is not talking about some mental change.

It is about him.

There is chains of fate and destiny.

And it is getting tighter.

The Heavenly Pressure around him has also increased. But it is not the Heavenly Power of this world. But from the outside.

Omniversal Pressure that come from the Supreme Will as the Etherna call it. ”It probably stars from Borgan giving me the ring” Azief thought to himself as he walks among the crowd. Nobody actually notices him.

He walks among the crowd but people could not see him and for some reason even when they did not see him, the unconsciously evaded him. Like their body reacted and they did not even know and notice that their body reacted. He is there and not invisible but the senses of the people could not see him ”Borgan give me a gift. She also give me a burden”

Azief could feel that with the action of Borgan showing him the ancient past, giving him that

Ring, the Ring of Ethernia, a ring that is merged from all Ten Rings of Etherna and giving him the blue crystal and him learning the sacred knowledge of the Etherna had seriously changes the course of the Omniversal history.

Azief could feel that the destiny between him and the Etherna has been strengthened. And that is not entirely a good thing.

Etherna is a taboo. And everything related to them is a taboo. And he is feeling that taboo affecting him now.

It is not as strong. And when he thought of Etherna, he thought of that door. The door that suddenly appears in front of him during his walk on the Supremacy Stairway.

And he feels that since then, his destiny with the Etherna has been formed.

No, it is probably earlier than that. When he pick up the ring in those early years, he already form a connection

If he just stops there that connection would have been weakened. >>
