Lord Shadow

Chapter 1829: A Blind and A Monkey

In another place, far away from Earth, far away from the sailing star of Interium, a monkey suddenly flinched.

Like someone had just plucked a hair out of his many hair.

This monkey is sleeping on top of a peak surrounded with divine clouds. Not far away there is a caged sun

A sun that was caged by some kind of golden metal.

The sun itself seems to be controlled by the golden metal.

The scenery of the peak is dim.

And it is all because the metal absorbing some of the light and enable a dim atmosphere even though there is a sun near this monkey

This monkey flinch and the moment he flinched the entire peak seems to shake.

This monkey is no normal monkey. He is a monkey of merit.

And even when he is sleeping divine light radiated from him that nourishes life and hums divine song that enlightened all creation.

And he is not naked.

He is wearing grey robe.

And there is a wooden staff near the stone where he takes his nap

He opens his eyes and divine light shines. He look toward a sailing star. And he frowned.

He did not stop Wargod. Because he knew what Wargod is. And what he was.

And for some reason he sympathizes with Wargod. ” I have my tribulations and Wargod also have his own tribulations. His story is even more tragic than mine” the monkey could not help but mutters to himself.

But he also owe something to that child.

He had learned more about that child since the cause and effect between him and the child had been established.

And once again he is now involved in a cause and effect that is big.

This is even bigger than the time of the Six Saints Tribulations and the Enlightened One Eighty-One Tribulations.

But the cause and effect has been established.

And since he now pays attention to that child, he also knows what is the right time to help this child.

One help and the cause and effect would be resolved. He could help that child now.

But then he could not help that child in that Battle.

In the battle that is about to unfold in the future...he could not help.

Because at that time, there is no cause and effect. And he did not want to create cause and effect at that time

He is reckless. He is prone to anger. He is impulsive. But all of that has been wore down by time. He is no longer the reckless monkey.

It did not mean his Defiant Heart is dead. It is just he knows where to punch and when to punch.

What should not be endured, should not be endured. But the things that should be endured, endure it.

If there is one thing he learns the most in his tribulation it is being patient have its reward. ”And I am also curious what Wargod will do to you? I donʼt think he is going to harm the Child. Would he harm the only child that has inherited the true teachings of the Etherna? It is like meeting a relative. How could Wargod hurt the child?”

But.... Wargod might not take action. But some other people might take action. ”All of these beings playing chess....like some kind of mosquitoes that keep flying around near my ears”

So, what did the Monkey born from a piece of the All Source do?

He kicks the wooden staff near his bed, the wooden staff floats in the air and the moment it touches this Stone Monkey feet, the wooden staff, that looks like ordinary wooden staff transform

It turns black, like it is made from a black iron. It is actually made from some magical dying star.

The black colour,, gives it a dark polished sheen with a subtle luster, emanating divine energy The staff also began to be encircled by golden hoops, placed at intervals along the length of the staff

The wonder staff become striking and majestic.

And an inscription suddenly appear running along parts of the staff lengths.

It is characters but unlike any characters that appears.

There is lines, there is circles, there is triangles and there is rectangles of all shapes and sizes.

Some looks like runes; some look like some kind of cuneiform writing but each of these characters emits glowing golden light

And these golden glowing light seems to be filled with some kind of heaviness as it pressures the air around it and cause the gravity itself to sunk down.

The end of the staff is capped with golden rounded finials.

And there is killing intent of these golden rounded finials.

But the golden characters contained these killing intents. Like merit offsetting demerit.

Then the staff flew to the Enlightened Monkey. The Always Victorius Enlightened.

And the Monkey jump up from the peak of clouds and travels though worlds, dimension and universes, cluster of galaxies was crossed in matter of moments and suddenly he was there, near the sailing stars.

Just beside an old man with a golden eyepatch

The one wearing the golden eyepatch look at the Monkey and laughed. ”youʼre here too?” ”Debt of cause and effect” The Monkey said and the Old Wanderer with One Eye understand almost immediately ”You?” ”A bet”

There is a moment of silence between them after that. Then The One Eye Wanderer asked ”You are coming here to stop Wargod?” ”Iʼm just curious. You?” ”Iʼm just cautious”

Both the Enlightened Monkey and the One Eye Wanderer has different feeling for Wargod.

Because their position is different.

And because the way they meet him was different. Different feeling leads to different approach.

Odin believes that there is always a chance for Wargod to do something like opening that

Gate.

Because, Wargod had opened it once in the End of the Supremacy Stairway.

If not for Azul warning him, how could that Gate be closed?

Tainting the child with his destiny would put a mark on his back.

Things have their time.

Now, the child has intertwined.

And it is as destiny destined.

What Wargod did is an act of impatience.

So, he did not have good feeling for Wargod.

He did not trust Wargod.

And he could not be at ease knowing Wargod is meeting with that child.

He had bet a lot of things.

And he had think a lot of things and muster his courage to try to make this bet.

If one mistake allowed this bet to be dissolved before it could even be executed, Odin would feel like he truly would become crazy

So, he could not take chances.

He could not take even the slightest chance that Wargod could harm this child.

Harming the child would not change much.

Especially if Wargod is the one doing it.

Right now, that child is so tightly intertwined with the Story of the End that if Wargod kills him, probably the Creator or some other beings would find a way to bring him back.

Death is simple when you reach a certain level.

When fate and destiny bites its claws on you, death and life is just a revolving door between two states.

What he is afraid of if Wargod tries to take control of the Child mind, or soul, the intangible things.

Not the tangible things.

As for the Enlightened Monkey, he is different.

He believes Wargod would not treat the child badly. Because he could understand the feeling of Wargod. His fate is not that tragic but it is still tragic anyway. Immortality, how many fools have tried seeking it?

He has found it and all he had with all that time was loneliness.

All of the monkey that has followed him has died.

No emotional attachment and so he could become Enlightened.

It took another moment of Enlightenment to understand his path is not the path of the No

Desire.

He is alone, powerful but alone.

Wargod is even more alone than him.

And his power is restricted. There is chains all over his body.

Chains that people could not see.

A seal that he imposed on himself. Because the moment he releases his true energy, the

Destroyer would come.

The journey the Destroyer had to take to go to Earth is like his journey to the Divine West.

He could go there in one moment. Still, he had to walk the land. Because it is the journey that is the important part.

Not the destination.

But it is different for Wargod.

If Wargod activated the seals, rising to his former strength, then the Destroyer could ignore the restriction, take a step, reached Interium and basically annihilate Interium entire existence before going back to His original position and continuing flying through the stars to reach Earth

Powerful, yes, but restricted.

It would be like a bird in a cage. Forever caged in that prison.

And the child is a legacy of his race.

Wargod probably feels all kinds of emotion.

Traces of his family on that child.

As for why he came here, he did not fear that Wargod would do something to the child. He just fears that other beings would do something

Just look. Odin is here. He might be seen as an ally with the child. But the child is a bet for him.

It is not really an ally. It is a chess piece in Odin chess board

But still, Odin could be considered a friendly force.

But what of others? >>
