Lord Shadow

The moment he stepped on that stairway, a powerful rejection force suddenly appeared around him trying to push him down.

Azief frowned a little but he is still confident as the pressure passes him by

It was the same pressure that force all the people in the world to prostrate to it before only this time all of that pressure was condensed and directed at him

It is like a test, trying to determine whether this person really could go up the stairway. It is to test whether that person have perfected their body.

If Azief did not perfected his Physique during his Energy Disperse Stage the moment he takes that step, the rejection force would blow him away and the staircase would disappear and never to appear again.

But because he already perfects his Physique the rejection force felt like it was breezing wind to his body.

At first it felt like someone is trying to push him down but as it come into contact with Azief physique it turns into a tame wind, gentle and cool

He finally moves forward as he gently walked up the stairs that is on top of the clouds, his figure and his shadows seems to cover the sun and all living beings on Earth like he was the only figure between Heaven and Earth.

This kind of sight would surely be awe inspiring for anyone that had the goal of actualizing their Grand Path.

Hikigaya returns to his cave, Hirate closes his eyes and that woman below the tree flew up and retreated from Pandemonium, snowflakes falls under her feet.

He walks slowly and calmly on that step.

The more he walks the farther he seems to have travel. It was like one step equals to a million miles.

He took another three step forward and the scenery around him changed. He looks on his left and right and he saw stars and floating space rocks.

He looks behind him and he saw planet Earth.

But the steps he had climb behind him has disappeared. He could stilt run back right now. He could jump from this floating stairs and fly back to Earth. Because if he takes another few steps, Azief got the premonition that at that time there will no longer be turning back.

He smiles like there is nothing to think about. His left foot and his right foot rose and then he walked the step like he was running. He could see from the corner of his eyes that the scenery on his side is changing constantly like he was running through universes and breaking through some pocket dimension to reach the Supreme Dimension

It was exhilarating. There is no fear in his heart. He already was prepared to possibly loses his life here so all he could feel right now is excitement.

After all, how is this any different than before. He seeks power and strength and he always knew that he had to bet his life from the moment he walks this path

If he failed, he died. That would be unfortunate of course but at least he tries.

But if he succeeds than he is getting closer to his goal.

He keeps running and he could see even more sceneries of space passes him by.

He passes a star systems full of gas, and even some Universe that is beginning to be born and at one point he passes through a dark universe that seems to have no light at all.

It was like he was in a dark room and seeing nothing.

If not for the fact that the stairway is made of light and shines his way forward Azief is confident that he would get lost in that Universe.

But he remains calms as his steps become faster and now he is running on the steps. Behind him after he finish a step that stair step would disappear, like an energy that dissipated.

Around him he could see all kinds of planet and stars systems but he had not time to stop as he keeps running and finally he saw the end.

And what he saw shocked him to his core.

He saw a Gate. A gigantic Gate that seems to block all things in front of him and those who are in front of it is unable to see past it.

There is a lot of symbols etched onto the gate and each of the symbols was extremely complete and each of them gave an ancient aura and seems to contains Laws.

Azief was careful as he slowly takes his step to the gate.

He saw no other way than to push through this gate but looking at its size could his strength pushed this door open?

Is this also one of the test?

‘Fuck it’ he said to himself as he pushes the gate. He expected to be hit by a rejection force but like he is pushing a well-oiled door, the gate door slowly opens.

The ancient aura around the Gate became extremely dense at this moment.

The star systems around him were all effected. Some of the stars around him exploded.

But the force of that explosion did not even have the chance to manifest itself as it was absorbed by the Gate.

Some planets shrink and turns into an orb of light and flew to the Gate merging with the glowing blue symbol on the Gate

Then a new life aura spreads out in this Dark Universe. Azief was struck with a realization. This Gate destroy but also give life.

This Universe he sees around him is nothing but an old Universe.

He saw the wrinkling of stars and planets, saw them withering and was absorbed by the Gate before the Gate nourish life once more.

It was like a farmer cutting off weeds and then throw fertilizer so that new plants could grow.

At this time Azul who was watching Azief progress from the Vast Universe could not help but frown when he saw that Gate appeared.

‘Humph’ he snorted in displeasure.
