Lord Shadow



Azief had a lot of thoughts right now. He thought that just by Borgan showing him the origin of the ring, that would be the end of it

However, he never expected that Borgan even shows him this scene, 

This scene might show the fall of Etherna, and the death of the King of Etherna but what it is showing Azief is something different. 

At least to him that was not the most important takeaway

Instead, it is the answer he got that made him feel very grateful to Borgan

This is the answer that Azief has been looking for. This is the thing that plagues his mind the most.

Why would he become what he become in that vision? 

He never understood it. 

Not until he saw that vision, saw that age and everything falls into place.

The ten rings, the Etherna, all of it was connected. 

"That is what it is" Azief understand it now. 

He is the vessel. 

He is the vessel for the Destroyer. 

Azief understood that now. Fate and Destiny had chosen him. Or maybe it was him that chose this destiny and fate. And it all starts with him taking the ring. 

Probably from that moment on…..he had bound his fate and destiny with the Destroyer. 

The Destroyer needs a vessel to descend into a world. 

And Azief knows from Will that Earth is special.

 Will describe it as protection was bestowed upon it. 

That is what Will learned from his teacher. But, that protection is unseen before

And it was not as magical. 

But when the All Source crashed into this world and transformed this world, that protection that is hidden, that is invisible now become transparent and each day it become more and more magical , more and more clear

So, some beings could not come down to Earth without shedding some of their divinity 

Especially for the Destroyer. If his conjecture is right, even the Destroyer could not come down wily nily to Earth

Why? 

Maybe because from the very beginning, Earth has been the destined place for the All Source. 

Azief knows a bi about the All-Source story and maybe Earth has always been the final destination of that All Source.

There is also some of the hints that has been given by him from many beings he had met and encountered along the way that made him think like this

"I am the vessel' Azief mutters again and there is a smile on his face. 

Is he afraid?

 Yes, he is afraid. He had just seen how powerful the Destroyer is. 

He had seen how he fought against the Etherna and won.

 And now he saw how the Destroyer takes the body of the King of Etherna and made the King body into his own, like he is changing clothes

Of course, he is afraid. 

But why did he smile. 

Because right now he knows. 

He has always been fearful to make the wrong decisions since the day he saw his future

Since that day he looks at that vision, he is trapped in this nightmare. He sometimes no longer dare to sleep for fear that he would dreams of himself of that future.

Of course, now knowing what will happen to him does not mean there is a solution 

the road ahead would be tough. But at least, and he chuckles to himself

At least this time he knows the direction. The road is not yet paved but at least, Azief now have the courage to trod that path

Azief could feel that the vision is dissipating and then that pulling sensation appears again. This time Azief only smiles, close his eyes and let himself be pulled by that force

And the vision crumbles. But right at the last moment, just right before he could feel himself being pulled out from this state of existence, Azief could swear he heard a laugh

A happy laugh

And Azief could not help but smile

…

Pandemonium

Azief was in the vision for a quite short time. He felt it is only around one hour or so. But on Earth, Pandemonium is now in a state of uncertainty.

It has been a day since Death Monarch suddenly disappears. Since it has only been a day, the news that Death Monarch is nowhere to be seen still did not spread

Only those who were briefed about the matter knows about the disappearance of Death Monarch. 

And as the time passes by, that uncertainty began to become more certain. 

No one knows what really happens. 

Not even Sasha who monitor the forest. Death Monarch did order her not to keeps tabs on him.

But how could Sasha really do that? After all, she is the leader of the Shadow Guards

And the Shadow Guard had only job

And that job is to make sure that Death Monarch interest could be secured. 

Theya re different form the other organization in Pandemonium. They do not listen to the order of the politicians, the Councils of Ministers, the Six Departments or any of the regulatory and military bodies of Pandemonium

They are an independent department. They are a department that is not under the laws of Pandemonium.

They are the private subordinate of Death Monarch. 

And so, the rise and fall of Pandemonium pales in comparison to Death Monarch interest himself. 

When Pandemonium interest aligned with Death Monarch interest, they would not have any problem in helping Pandemonium. 

But even if its Pandemonium interest at stake, if they had to choose between Deth Monarch and Pandemonium, they would choose Death Monarch interest to serve

Because the one giving them the power, the money, the funding and their authority is not Pandemonium

It's Death Monarch

At times, they are the death squad. Other times, they are the inquisitor. But mainly most of them are spies for Death Monarch.

But their reputation is not as hideous as some of the black and hidden organization of the other world powers

This is mostly because Death Monarch rarely did anything to outrageous nor does he seem to have any desire to rule the world. 

However, because of the influence of Death Monarch Sasha is in charge of the most powerful intelligence agency in the world

The Shadow Guards of Pandemonium has many intelligences about the other world powers precisely because Death Monarch is the strongest person in the world and the force he leads is the strongest force in the world

When you hold the most power, that also means many more doors are open to you. 

But it is precisely because of this role, that Sasha still keep tabs of Death Monarch when he is at the forest. 

She understood that Death Monarch wanted to break through to the next realm. 

And he seems to have this idea that he needs to be a mortal to do it. 

Sasha does not know much about the realm after Divine Comprehension realm but everyone probably have different way of achieving that realm. 

Whatever the case, when she heard that Death Monarch would be a mortal and that he is not kidding about it, how could Sasha not be worried. 

The forest that he chose to do this "being mortal" act is a place where there is monsters There is also other environmental hazards.

After the world had changed, there is many more new disease, new monsters, new and more dangerous beast and more mysterious hazards and forbidden zones

Many of which that the Order of Thinkers did not yet finish cataloguing. 

As for the matter of Death Monarch disappearance, they have even done a thorough investigation and every single force that pandemonium have in intelligence gathering was dispatched to that forest. 

It only took a day for the entire forest to be sealed and any large beast was either captured or eradicated and the area was combed from the sky to the ground with nothing to hide Death Monarch

But even after all of that, they still didn't find any clue

However, Sasha has her own ideas of how Death Monarch disappears.

Death Monarch seems to have activated some kind of power or force and suddenly he disappears. 

But that is not what is causing the chaos in Pandemonium right now.

It was the subsequent event that leads to Pandemonium in a state of anxiousness

The event is the fact that Pandemonium being enveloped by a protection formation. It was set up so that nobody could see through Pandemonium right now.

However, if Jean or Hikigaya wanted to peer through the formation, with tehri strength right ow, they probably could

But most of the intelligence agency of Pandemonium did not think they would do that. 

Jean is occupied elsewhere and Hikigaya would not meddle too much with Pandemonium especially now that the is a lone agent and would need all the support he could get

And since Hikigaya itself has shown intention to cooperate with Pandemonium, he would do well not to spy on pandemonium and incur undue resentment.

These subsequent event after the disappearance of Death Monarch did not help in calming the hearts of people
