Lord Shadow

Inside here there is only the sound of the water hitting the ground from the hard ceiling of stones.

This is a large cave with tunnels and all kinds of formation in it, around it beside it.

Because there is a person in there and this person is none other than the strongest person in the world, Death Monarch Azief.

It has been four months since he made his decision that day. He is right now at an abandoned large cave secluding himself.

It has been about three weeks he has been in seclusion.

He finally understands why people would seclude themselves when they wanted to find an answer to some of the question plaguing their mind.

He now for the first time since he embarks on his journey of being stronger, he finally had a roadblock, a problem he just could not solve with brute force.

And he now knows why people prefers seclusion.

When you are surrounded by nothingness, by silence and only the sound of your breathing, you began to look past all of the things around you and turned inwards.

Your mind seems to be taking a tangent different than you expect. That is what happen he secluded himself.

Sometimes when he is inside this cave, his mind would wander.

Wander to the most irrelevant thoughts that a person could have. Sometimes his mind wander to when he was child and when eh get his first scrape.

Sometimes his mind wander into an illusion of an imaginary life he had when he was but a child

But all of this thought sometimes help him in relaxing for a while. Outside there are people that maintain the formation.

Today, he thinks he has got it.

He had to make sure this time it would succeed. He doesn’t know why but he could feel something bad is coming. This is his premonition.

This time the premonition felt stronger, like destiny and fate is conspiring against him.

He wanders around the cave and then when he finally got bored of that he finally went back to the room he crafted with his own bare hands.

This cave used to be a flat ground. He raises the ground and puncture a hole inside it and morph the entire hole to turn itself into a cave.

He then put sealing marks all over the cave and as a precaution even sent a message to Sasha to send some of her men to guard his cave.

As he sat down on the stone bed he thought about what happen four months ago. He smiles bitterly.

It is a hard decision to make.

Thinking about it, it is still hard to make sure that it is right.

Because like Sina said to him there is no wrong answer and probably because of that the answer would always felt like this no matter who he chooses.

He finally decided who he could share his happiness and sorrow.

He still doesn’t know whether he is making the right decision but for the past four months he has been very happy.

And then sad.

And then happy again.

But he didn’t show her sadness to her. And he shouldn’t. Sometime he thinks it would be better if he could not choose.

He wishes that even as he was flying there someone would attack him and he would be unconscious so he could delay it.

But he knows that is not the answer.

He knew that this is what both of those women wanted from him. To choose and to choose is to hurt one of them.

But they did not complain or trying to make him change his mind.

When he met her that day, he hugs her and kiss her and confesses to her the thing that she already knows.

And he chooses her between the two. He doesn’t know why and honestly he still doesn’t know it at this moment.

All he knows that when he flies up he knew exactly where he wanted to go. But it still takes time for him.

He even takes a break in a mountain somewhere before he finally musters his courage and go to that place.

It has been four months but a lot of things have changed since then. in the world and in himself.

For the world, the word division between the seven powers have transitioned smoothly and Seven New Great Power have emerged with Pandemonium, the Republic and the World Government still remaining the top three among the seven

Azief after he made that choice like something inside him was unleashed his mind and heart become lighter and clear.

He then quickly went back to meditating and refining the energy that he got from Azul

Four month ago, he had nine Disks inside his Inner World.

While other projected their Disk outwards, he projected it through the force and energy that emanated out of him because of his Inner World.

He created his Inner World since the Baptism by fire from the Heavens. Most inner world would not be as stable as his.

This is also because of the Physique he possesses that could contain such power inside himself. To call himself a superhuman is an understatement.

He had the Worldly Disk, Universal Disk, Ancient Rune Disk, Celestial Disk, All Source Disk, Ancient Demonic Disk, Aether Disk, Nether Disk and Primordial Disk.

All of them possesses energy that make up the creation and destruction essence that made and unmade the Universe.

Azief did not know this but he is embarking in a very different path than he had in the timeline of Loki.

He had become so much stronger and so much more formidable and even more terrifying than before.

One could only imagine the effect he would have in the Universe when he became a Sovereign. It would surely shake the Universe.

A Sovereign that walk the Perfection path is no longer could be called Sovereign. Azief could even become one of the Supreme Beings.

He could probably become someone like Azul to live across epoch without ever dying and possess power to made his entire own Universe

Loki also fears this development while he is planning in the background.

While changing the future is what he wanted, he must at least have a firm footing to plan for his next step.

He needs to have that firm footing because he knows what would happen if he made a mistake.

Four months ago, Azief had nine Disks.

But now he had twelve. The progress is almost unbelievable. He only had one more energy to refine to summon the Supremacy Stairway.

It is so close now. Even he himself don’t know what is the Supremacy Stairway does and what it will do. But he knows that whatever it is it would change him fundamentally.

Azul did try to give him a hint but he is not sure he understands the hint

The other three energies that he has managed to refine into his Disk is Soul Disk, Divine Disk and Cosmic Disk

Each of this Disk relates heavily to his Aether and Nether Disk and act like a supplementary to this Two Disk that governs Death and Life.

Soul Disk is a quite a peculiar Disk in terms of the energy it could absorb.

Soul Disk enables him to absorb the energy of the Soul. It is still quite vague because he still doesn’t quite really know what soul energy is and where is the soul.

But when direct the energy of this Disk to his eye he could see in people body. But it is not light like the light that signify energy. It is something else.

It is the soul.

At least that is the conclusion that he had found.
