Lord Shadow

While the pirates and the dark forces of the world is on their ship looking at the tens of thousands of island scattered all over the route toward Arturia, the whole world is still looking at the screen.

They see the grand fleet and gasped at the power that the dark forces of the world could muster. But then the screen once again focused on the world powers

It began once again showing the lineup that is present in Arturia.

In the screen, the camera seems to shift the focus to the person beside the Heaven Flute.

'She is the Fairy?'

'Is it her?'

'I didn't think she would participate in this matter!' all over the world, people looking at the screen exclaimed the same thing.

They did not think that this woman would also participate in the matter

Because everyone knows how much her husband doted on her.

Everyone recognize the woman sitting beside the Heaven Flute. Even though this woman had rarely shows her face after the Weronian War, people still remembers her.

It is one of the Seven Fairy, the wife of Wang Jian, Somi the Sword Fairy.

This is the title she has now. Out of the Seven Fairy, all of them are dead now leaving Somi as the only one

The Seven Fairy actively resisted the Weronian Invasion and since they sacrifice themselves, they were also the heroes of the battlefield.

She is also protected by Death Monarch because she is supposed to be Death Monarch disciple. Even though, Death Monarch rarely teach her anything, the relationship is there so nobody dares touch her.

Since the Weronian War, she has never fight anyone so no one knows how much of a fighter she is now.

No one knew her tricks.

But probably she has perfected the Big Dipper Formation.

Her aura is constrained and until she fights no one could know her true power.

This is the few people that have come representing Pandemonium.

'With these kind of lineup, does the pirate and the Crime Alliance have a chance?'

'These lineup is enough to sweep the world'

'Wang Jian alone could destroy and pulverize a second rate force'

Many people looking at the screen debated about this matter. Many of these people look at the screen while eating and drinking.

The world after the Fall has breed a new kind of generation.

Only the strong and people with skill could survive the Fall.

Of course, some people with luck also survive.

There is even someone who is rumored to have a unique class which uses luck and could deter all kinds of calamities and get all the good things in life just by relying in luck.

Hence, even though this is a battle that will determine the fate of the world, some people who is far from the action viewed it as nothing more than some entertainment. In the end, it is not that they were the ones that need to fight.

To some people, they did not care who wins and who loses.

To these people living in the edge, if the pirate's wins, and the Crime Alliance wins, it is just these forces could sail the seas and roam the world openly like before the Fall.

They might not be able to supplant the world powers but at least they would have some influence in the open

IF the world powers wins, they would bring their power and influence to the peak, thus making the trend of the world powers as the truth of the world.

Nobody believes that the world powers wanted to defeat the dark forces so that the world would be a better place.

Those who are more insightful knows that Death Monarch the one that is provoking this war wanted to create stability.

Because those who knows how Death Monarch operates knows that he is not a hands on guy in terms of ruling. But, he prefers solving the problem at the root cause.

If he succeeds today, for a few decades the world would be stable. And that is what he wanted right now.

Stability for Earth so that people could rest, recuperate and get stronger to face the upcoming dangers that might come out of nowhere.

To these people that could watch this screen while not worrying about the future, they did not care much.

Life on Earth is dangerous, so, they view life and death lightly.

Today, they could drink, laugh and talk with friends, and tomorrow they could be swallowed by a titanic beats and die without a burial.

The mentality of this generation is strong. Because if you are not strong, then it would not be long before you are dead. These kind of people usually lives outside of the territory of the world powers.

Hence, they look at the screen and marvel at the heroes and villains of the world.

It did not matter whether these people in the screen are heroes or villains. What is important to them is that these people have fame, power and influence.

The screen now moved away from the Pandemonium section

the camera panned to another section of the platform. The people of the world then look at the screen with attention

To them, this is like a story, and the screen is showing the main character.

Maybe this is Death Monarch plans. Or maybe it is those people in high places in the world power that suggested such theatrical.

There is benefit to doing these. Increasing one reputation and making the whole world knows about it is only one of them

It increases the prestige of the world powers and also shows that the world powers are not some kind of organization that you can bully or challenge so easily

It is the same thing that the World Government tries to do in the past with them trying to defeat Death Monarch in front of the world

However, this kind of method could only be used if they are confident in winning.

The screen in the projection now showed some people and many of the people looking at the screen could not help but exclaimed at the same time

'the World Government!' this time the screen shows the section where there is a lineup for the people of the World Government

There is a man shown on the screen and many people knows him

There is Jesse.

To the rest of the world, any people does not know him but to people in Europe and people in North and South America, they are very familiar with this person

He is one of the members of the Quorum Council and there was a time where he oversaw the military base in Europe before transferred back to the island to serve as the Quorum member

He is a great warrior who fought bravely and powerfully.

He is also very smart and highly adept in tactic that he oversaw many of the defensive battle between World Government and the forces of Jean when Jean was the Emperor of France

To the world powers, they all know this person as one of Raymond most trusted person.

He is bulky but the muscle is well-defined. His hair is cut neatly and he sits there like how a military man sits, like a well built statue.

Even though his current title is a member of the Quorum Council, he is an experienced general.

He did not talk to anyone, merely closing his eyes and seems to be waiting.

Most of the people here has long not shown their powers.

This is because they have reached a very high position in power after all that they have been through in the past decade

Most of them however have similarities in that they all seems to have fought during the Weronian War.

That war was a disaster.

If they had lost, the fate of humanity would also be lost.

And because of that time period, there is heroes emerging in great numbers and these heroes knows each other and cooperate with each other.

It is since then the tense relations between the world powers slowly mellowed out. After all, your people know y people and vice versa.

So, they are slightly reluctant to kill each other or fight in a war that have nothing to do with them

Even though armies are also used, people with great power could sometimes determine whether a war could happen or could not happen

Just look at how Death Monarch started a war. Even if the other six world power did not want to provoke the war, if Death Monarch wanted to provoke it, they either could break relations with Pandemonium or follow him into battle.

One man deciding to fight against the world

And because of the Weronian War, he warriors of the e other world powers admire the other warriors of the other world powers.

Now that they know their supposed enemy and fight alongside them in that war, how could it be easy to pit them to war against each other

Between loyalty, friendship and one own personal code of honor, it is hard to juggle all of these

Take Jesse for example. During the Weronian War he also admired and praise the Seven Fairy of the Stars and very much sad about what happened to Somi.

He also fought alongside big names of today like Jean and even members of the League of Freedom.

All over the world, some people scratch their heads, thinking who is this figure shown in the screen.

There are some people who are knowledgeable and began boasting, telling the crowd of who this person is. Jesse

The Loyal Warrior.

This is the most loyal warrior that Raymond have and this become his title

Then the camera pans again toward someone else.

The moment the face is shown on the screen some people clicked their tongue and some people show a disgusted expression.

Most of the people that knows this person usually fought a battle with him.

To the general populace, he is not well known other than in the World Government where he is slightly well known. He is bot the kind of person whose name resound all over the world but those who fought him in battle would never forget his name

He has long hair and his eyes seems to shine brightly. He is slender and lean, tall and handsome. Beside his chair, there is a case. And everyone knows what is in the case

A gun. To be more accurate, a sniper gun

This person is Nick.

And he is known to many as the Eye of God.

When he snipes a person he did not snipe it the normal way. Sometimes, he could snipe a person ten thousand kilometers away.

Some people don't even know how they died.

Of course, once he takes his shot, anyone with a decent Divine Sense could trace him back.

Such a powerful method also has its price. If the shot does not kill the person he targeted, then there is always a possibility of a counterattack.

Hence, the reason why the World Government never uses him to attack Death Monarch in the past

However, some people also wonder, in this world of great change, of powerful force of nature slowly surpassing their strength, does the Eye of God still see that far?

Especially in a sea like the Turbulent Sea.

People are wondering this and the dark forces that are looking at the screen is also wondering the same thing.

The camera then shifted to another person's and when the screen shows who it is, the whole world knows this person

Because this person is one of the people that dares to fight against Death Monarch in the past and survive to tell the tale

At that time, Death Monarch is still called Lord Shadow. Arno is one of the five Energy Disperse Stage leveler that fought him when he went attacking the World Government.

He has been quite the celebrity after that and he is now one of the top members of the World Government.

And of course, he is no longer an Energy Disperse Stage leveler

He is now taller than when he first confronted Death Monarch in the past. he is now six feet four, his hair however is still curly but there is style to it.

His muscly appearance had changed a bit as he is now leaner. His face also shows a hint of ruggedness and he seems to be a bit more casual.

Wearing a uniform, he looks like a poster boy for military discipline.
