Lord Shadow

Chapter 1396: [Bonus chapter] Mind Master and Time Monarch

The roof is made of gold.      

The pillars which is like the Roman pillars of the ancient Rome is crafted with minerals of space making it possessing a certain magic charm     

From what he heard, Death Monarch flew outside of Earth, gathers asteroid rocks, and refines it with magical energy, giving it the properties of the five elements     

In the world right now, even Disk Formation leveler find it hard to fly out to outer space. Before, even Hirate could simply goes to space whenever he wanted to      

Nowadays, to soar into the sky is easy but to soar outside the sky it is hard.      

Not only there is the dense energy above the atmosphere, there is also the fact that the distance between Earth and the sky had multiplied dozen fold.     

It is not easy for them, or for anyone but for Divine Comprehension leveler, one thought and one desire is enough     

They could control space and have full control over the laws they have cultivated.     

  Jean for example simply folded time between the place he wanted to go and the time he is now.      

Hirate would not pretend to understand but that is essentially what he does when he wanted to travel a distance far away.      

As for Hikigaya, no one really knows how he teleported himself and nobody really cares.      

What is important that he could do it. And so, the only three people that could easily go in and out of this planet is the three beings of Divine Comprehension leveler.      

Hirate once again look at the dome in the distance and he could not help but mutters     

'Right now, on Earth, only three people could waste this kind of effort'     

The dome has five pillars.      

  This five pillars are the foundation pillars of the dome and it is hidden amidst the many pillars that hold up the dome.      

Each of the pillar has the power of the element on it. If the Dome is attacked this five pillars would use the power of the five elements to create a shield.      

That is only a few things that made the Dome one of the safest and most powerful structure in this city.     

Hirate walk along the hallways.      

The open hallways are beautiful. Sometimes he would see the scenery of the sea, sometimes he would go into a closed hallways and see garden of plants that are being planted.      

The palace which he is in is just built. Days really. But the architecture blends magical fantasy with postmodern architecture.      

There is an unnatural feeling to it but also a sense of beauty that is hard to express in words.      

He could simply fly off to that dome.      

But he wanted to meet someone first.      

If not for that he would not waste his time and would already fly off into the sky.         

The prohibition does not really prohibit him. And this is not the lands of the Seven Great Powers. They do not have enough power to enforce such prohibition     

'But, that man named Arthur…' but he did not finish his word. Arthur before he was bestowed with the Sword of Humanity is simply one of the many people who have risen in the aftermath of the Multiversal Convergence.      

If Hirate send a battalion of his Golden Army or even Nick alone, he probably could destroy Arthur     

It might take some work but it is not something Hirate would consider hard to do. But now, this place has a certain energy to it     

The only way Hirate could describe it was that it is filled with the energy of faith and the energy of Heaven, of celestial energy      

And the reason is none other than the Sword of Humanity. Hirate had once tries to see the depth of that sword.      

So, he tries to gauge its power with his Psionic Force. Instead, he was nearly backlashed into insanity.      

In the glimpse he saw when he uses his power against the sword was an endless color of every spectrum of hue that he could think of.      

Some goes beyond his imagination and he could not help but to fall into that mindscape.     

But then he saw an entire vast of lights and he feels emotions that he never felt before, a heaviness to this emotion     

Sometimes, he felt happy, other times he felt sad and there are also all kinds of emotion that he could not give a name to it.      

He also had so many thoughts running in his mind in that brief moment      

If not for Death Monarch beside him tapping his forehead, he would probably be insane for a couple of month     

Hirate did become insane every once in a while. Such thing had decreased since he became stronger but sometimes when he uses his psionic force and tries to overdoes himself, he would get a backlash.     

Some people backlash physically. He, on the other hand backlash mentally. He shook the thought out of mind as he keeps walking      

He walks all across the many halls and pass many doors. Sometimes, coming out of the door is someone he knew so he greeted them politely.     

But nobody stopped him. Everyone is busy and they all came from different faction. As for his people, they must be near the Dome already.      

It is the same for the people of Pandemonium. He thought nothing of it, instead, he walks and look at the number of the room.      

but then he stopped at one of the door.     

'314. How appropriate. He always said that he liked pi'      

He was about to knock on the door but then the door suddenly opens with a click. Hirate eyes narrowed. The hallways are long and Hirate could not see the end of it.     

But he knows that the only reason the door opens is because that person opens it for him. He was about to enter     

'Wait for a moment'     

Hirate halted and then did not move forward     

Hirate eyes narrowed but he could not see anything         

He didn't say anything but it seems that this person had been expecting his arrival. He could only smile bitterly at this.      

Then the sound of footsteps could be heard. The long hallways are dark but Hirate could see the silhouette of that person.     

That person came out from the room and there is a wide smile on this person face.      

This man is tall and elegant. His hair is longer now and there is a neatly trimmed beard. He had a rugged pale white face.     

He wears something that resembles a chiton with a modern take on it. This is the wardrobe of the Left Chancellor of the Republic.     

This man that Hirate is meeting is none other than Jean the Time Monarch.      

Jean smiles seeing Hirate.      

Hirate was about to say something but Jean stepped outside of the door and simply cut what he was about to say     

'Let's walk together'     

Hirate felt a little bit miffed but he only shakes his head. The door closed by itself     

'Death Monarch is quite the host. Though, I think this grand welcoming is Arthur idea. I guess this person is ready to mingle with the world powers' he said with a laugh in his tone     

Hirate has his own opinion about Arthur     

they walk together amidst talking empty words.      

Most of the people probably had already gone to the Dome because as they walk along the hallways, rarely they see any other people.     

There were some robots that is building things and there are also a few guards but other than that, most of the people is gone already     

At least in this palace, there is only a few people that had not yet gotten ready to go to the Dome.      

Their heights are about the same.      

Years had passed since the Fall and they now all stand tall.      

Jean used to be under the World Government before he defected to the Republic. There was bad blood but there is also connection.     

But, now they are allies again. Jean, a street kid is now one of the most powerful man in the world, in control of one of the three most powerful world power.     

The Fall wipes out many people. But in such an era of turmoil, heroes and villains rise together. Whether Jean is a hero or a villain, he let history decide.      

He simply wanted to survive and he did everything he could to survive. And Hirate is merely a bodyguard but now, no one even remembers his past before the Fall     

It is the same for all the great people today in Arturia.     

Death Monarch, Earthshaker, Time Monarch, The Illusionist Archmage, all of them were no one. The Fall came and their fate and destiny changes.     

They walk in silence, not to fast, not too slow.          

Sometimes they would look to the distance, or hear the shouting of people who were vigorous in reconstructing the city     

They both see the same thing.      

A new city that would be the symbol of power for Pandemonium in the Turbulent Sea.
