Lord Shadow

Chapter 1625 For Your Path

Azief when he absorbed the rune, he had melded it and mould it into his consciousness.

Now, as he is trying to condense it, he must extract it first and as he tries to extract it, there is an ancient energy rising from the ground and descending from the Heavens in his Inner World

His Inner World sems to tremble, the space and skies and the Earth all seems to shake and it almost like it is about regurgitate a powerful force

Space and Time seems to go wild with space tearing up from out of nowhere, to time acting weird, with acceleration of time and deceleration of time in different places and sometimes this dilation of times even collided with each other ripping the space in between them

There are symbols that is forced out from stars, moon, suns, planets and even Space and Time itself. 

Before it had merged with Azief inner world silently and stealthily

But now as it is about to be pulled out. It did not go quietly. Instead, the more runes Azief extract, the weaker he became, like he is extracting his own strength away from himself.

Azief face become pale and his body is trembling

Runes are Words. 

And Words have meaning. 

And meaning gives Word power. 

The Symbols and Words that gave meaning to the Inner World is brought out and another mist appears outside of Azief body. 

The moment it appears all kinds of Words appears in the sky. 

The words consisted of many languages. From Malay, to English, to Chinese, to Russian, to Japanese to every single language there is on Earth.

As long as there is word that was once spoken in this world, there is these Words appearing on the sky

The energy gathers on this illusory mist that is slowly forming into a silhouette of a figure. 

And the energy that gathers from this silhouette condenses into words. And these words floated toward the sky

The words are in many different languages. But it all means the same thing

Surpass the Sky!

The moment this appears, the Heavenly Will of Earth was suppressed.

The throne of Heaven cracks and there is a sign that it would crumble. The Heaven splits even more and the Earth trembles like energy before.

The entire Pandemonium continent is feeling this vibration of energy that keeps coming in waves. And the energy is spreading

Azief is still in trance and in his eyes, there is millions and millions of words and these millions of words multiply even more to tens of thousands of trillions of words that of a moment, Azief felt like his brain is going to explode

The words are so numerous, the meaning is myriad and all of it is laid out in front of Azief. 

In that one brief moment, where Azief sees the words, it was like he could see through the beginning of everything to the end of everything. 

The Universe begins with a Word. 

That is his feeling

And to capture this Word from the Beginning, living and thinking beings created Words. All Words are to understand each other

Yet, Words cut like sword. Words changes perception. Word changes Reality by changing Perception.

Words that should be use to seek the Ultimate and Grand Truth is distorted, used, manipulated by living beings to seek Power and hurt each other

And at the end of these Words, there is a garden. 

And the sound of typing could be heard. 

Sometimes, the sound of a brush hitting an easel. 

Sometimes the sound of a pen writing on a coarse paper. 

Many sounds and it all felt like the sound of the sound of someone writing.

The End of Words and the Beginning of it. 

For that brief moment, Azief could see it and then like a dream that fades almost as quickly as when you open your eyes after a long dream, the Words disappears and the sound of the words being written disappears. 

And in that moment, Azief felt like he had lost something important. He felt like if he had pursued it a little harder, trying to grasp it even tighter he would see the true meaning of Words.

Azief is thinking all of this but the whole world could not have known this thinking and this vision that Azief saw when he is condensing his Runic Essence Avatar

What the world sees is Words all over the sky, all over the Heavens. 

The Words overlapped, interspersed, clashed and collided with each other in the sky. 

And the fluctuation of energy from Azief is becoming more intense. 

From Azief as the epicentre to the four corners of Pandemonium continent, the energy is spreading

And everyone could not help but look at the sky and see the Words, the Sun and Moon that seems to dim, the sky turning deep blue and an aura that suppresses heaven and Earth that is getting stronger and stronger. 

It is said that after the Multiversal Convergence that anyone who breakthrough to another realm would never again affect the world.

Clearly, these words would no longer held any weight.

Because as long as your power exceed that of Heavenly Will, exceed the limit of this word, surely, it would affect the world

And the people all over Pandemonium, even those who is living on the edge of this vats continent of Pandemonium could not help but feel at awe

And at the same time, they look at the sky and see the words carved in the air, from tens of thousands of languages which all holds the same meaning

Surpass the sky!

The Heavenly ill of the world could no longer contain, the tribulation clouds were forced to disperse, the thunder and lightning of the world is crushed by this pressure of Words.

But above Earth, beyond the space of Earth, a cosmic cloud is gathering. 

From the dust of space from element that is unknown, from particles that is weird and rare, they form a cloud.

A cosmic cloud of annihilation. 

And it is getting bigger and thicker and there is a trace of cosmic lightning and cosmic thunder echoing through the vacuum of space. 

It breaks the space allowing sound to travel though vacuum space.

The sound is unlike any other sound. 

It is like a roar. And this roar broke the space around it, hence even in outer space, the sound could travel.

And the sound travels fast without losing its momentum and the sound wave target is Azief on Earth

The Sound wave enters Earth and it turns into a lightning. Piercing the lightning of the Heavenly Will, its light shone all over the sky, covering the world

A taboo existence is about to be born. 

And the Universe would not just sit still and let it be

The Universe is angry and the Will of the Universe descend!

….

At the same time this is happening, Jean who is inside a cave meditating in the air suddenly opens his eyes.

And he frowned. 

Then he landed back down on the ground and he takes a step. the space and time around him fade away and he suddenly is out of the cave. He looks at the sky and he frowned

He could feel a great danger coming from above

"What is happening in the world right now?" he mutters to himself. Jean did not know what is happening to the world right now

And Azief breakthrough energy did not go beyond Pandemonium. Jena who is already secluding himself from the outside world of course could not have known that Azief breakthrough is awakening a Will in the Universe

But Jean could feel the destructive power that is gathering above Earth

Jean since what happens to Paulette has been searching for a clue on how to save his beloved. The world is left to kits own devices and he even let go many of his responsibilities as the Left Chancellor of the Republic.

But he still has care about the world. People would not understand why Jean is like this. When he conquered Europe, the method he uses was not exactly kind

Many of his general committed massacre all over Europe in the past. Hence, why even till today, Jean is not that popular among European Senators.

But it is precisely because he had done all of these atrocities that he wanted to atone for it. He knows what he did was wrong and so he sought to rectify it.

Yes, that is his main motivation on why he keeps trying to save the world and why he was willing to fight Death Monarch when he tries to break through time and space continuum'

Guilt. What drives him is guilt

So, he protects the world because he once harmed the world. Today, there seems to be a great calamity that is about to descend 

But today he hesitated. Because if he is weakened, who is going to save his Paulette?

He was about to turn around and returns back to the cave to let the matters of the world, become the matters of the world

It had nothing to do with him. His guilt should be his alone to bear. But now, he has something to worry about. And Paulette is more important to him

But as he was about to go into the cave, a word seems to echoes in his ears

A memory surfaces to the forefront. He met Loki a few days ago and he has a long conversation with the Trickster

"Do not make the wrong choice. Do not do kindness expecting the world to be kind to you. And do not foster hatred for it has no benefit. Kindness and evil do not always get repaid kindly"

"Do it for your own heart and your own path. There is no need to care about the repayment. Cause and effect are there, but what is important is your heart. Some people wanted to avoid cause and effect. But sometimes, people jump into the cause and effect willingly. What is important to them is their heart and their path. Who could escape cause and effect? Who could run forever from cause and effect?" 

"Since it could not be avoided, then make a choice. Sometimes, jumping into it, not running away from it, staying true to one heart is more important" Jean remember the trickster word and he chuckles

And he nodded

And so, he took another step and he is now in the sky, his aur released, space and time around him twisted and spirals and the might of Time Monarch once again is released to the world!
