Lord Shadow

Chapter 1168: Falling down (2)

Most of the time, the world powers have great power especially on the continent where they are in.

After all, they are the force that managed to pacify the continent. Even the weakest world power is stronger than an alliance of a few hundred high leveler banding together.

But Loki…. Loki is an influence in of itself. They would restrain themselves.

And then there is the Crime Alliance and Loki connection to them. Azief don’t know what Loki is planning and he does not like that Loki had use the Crime Alliance.

He disdains the Crime Alliance because they are not just a simple band of criminal allying together.

They are a conglomerate of crime, headed by the head of the most brutal crime families. Dramas and movies romanticized the life of crime lords and their crimes, but what they failed to show was the life of normal people, brutalized under the cruelty of their crime.

Why does Azief hated them so much that he even signs a directive order to any operatives, any officials and ministers of Pandemonium the permission to kill any members of the Crime Alliance?

Why? Because before Azief become the strongest person in the world. before he became what he is today, feared and revered by almost all of the people of Earth, he was a normal person

He had never suffered under the tyrannical reign of a crime families.

But he could empathize.

When he reads about people who is killed, tortured by these crime families when they wanted to turn state evidence, or to testify against them, seeing the brutal punishment they inflict upon these people, he too felt fear.

And anger.

He felt fear because he knows he could not fight against such an organization.

He felt anger because he felt that this is not how the world should be

It is the most hopeless feeling. Having no strength to change a corrupt world.

However, when the Fall arrived, and he became what he is now, having the power to change the world with one order, he did not forget.

Yes, the crime families had never clashed with Death Monarch.

They have never brutalized him and they have never tortured him.

They were just an element that Azief think should not exist.

He ordered their execution because he felt that this is not how the world should be.

This is the simple truth of why Death Monarch hated the Crime Alliance. It is a simple and even an absurd one

But who could tell that they never had such urge before?

The urge to change the world but did not because you did not have the power to fight against it?

It is fortunate that it is Death Monarch that is the strongest person in the world.

Imagine if a psychopathic serial murderer is the strongest person in the world.

Imagine such a world. Azief did not held illusion that his action would eradicate all the crime in the world

He does not believe that by destroying the Crime Alliance, crime would suddenly disappear.

He knows that is not how the world works. Crimes of passion, of jealousy would still happen with or without crime families.

He just wanted crime to have no unified command. To have no centralized power, to have it disorganized.

When a certain crime family getting too powerful that they even mix in with world leaders and the local enforcement agency, that is when you know that life there would be hell.

Azief is simply eradicating this hell simply because he could do it. There is a reason why he could do it and none of the other world power could not.

Because he is the strongest props in the world. Other people might fear that the Crime Alliance would go crazy at them, throwing all of their resources and power to bring them down but such concern did not plague Death Monarch.

He alone could have slaughtered all of the head of the crime families……if only they were not so good in hiding and the fact that most of the time Azief went off world.

There is a reason why those Crime Lords did not dare to look up to the sky and flinch whenever they hear the roaring of thunder and seeing the flashing of lightning.

There is a reason why Crime Alliance did not dare to act or open up a branch or establish their influence in pandemonium and the surrounding area of Pandemonium influenced region

Because of the disparity of power.

Death Monarch is the strongest person in the world and Pandemonium is the strongest world power.

Combined that with each other, and you have a behemoth that could crush anything they wanted to if they put their mind to it.

It is for this reason that the Crime Alliance could put a tough front facing other forces and organization but when facing Pandemonium, they could only hides and run.

But because of Loki, Azief had to make an exception. Each time Azief think of Crime Alliance, there would this righteous anger bubbling up inside of him.

In the beginning it might be just because of his whim and desires of how the world should be. Of course, Azief himself knows he should temper his thoughts and feelings.

His thoughts could not be considered the true path of how the world should be. So, he tempers his desire to meddle with the matters of the world.

But Crime alliance is a scourge to any weak people. They manipulate and brutalized weaker people.

And these people, these weak people…. reminded him of himself.

He was the people in the past.

the fame, the prowess, all of the power in the world, but Azief never forget his feelings when he was weak and what he promises himself if he ever got the power to change the world.

He still had to sort out this matter when he is back on Earth

And there is also Sasha. Sasha has her own plans. And he would not interfere with her plans.

Then there is his successor. Of course, he had left a decree. The decree would only be opened two months after his departure.

So, if everything goes right, he would be able to return before the decree take effect. If things did not go according to plan, then Pandemonium would have a Regency like before.

Azief at first consider to name a successor after he leaves. But if he is actually back after only six days, then it doesn’t have a meaning.

So, he planned to name a successor after two months of his departure

This would also mean things had gone out of plan. And if his plan to return in just a few days fell through, Azief could at least trust Sasha to make sure that Pandemonium is stable.

As long as there is not too big of a problem, his successor would be helped by many of his officials until he returns back.

Azief find outs that he had a lot of things to worry about more than when he started his journey. Even now, he is not sure whether that is a weakness or his strength

Maybe it is one and the same.

He hoped that whatever he learns in the lab would benefit Earth and in some way redeem some of his guilt.

He walks toward that boulder and now that he is close to the boulder he could see that the properties of the boulder itself in a state of flux.

He opens his eyes and his eyes glows blue as he could see that there is some kind of mystical energy and laws embedded on that boulder.

The boulder is not a boulder and the mountain is not a mountain. But once you understand it, the mountain is once again mountain and the boulder is once again boulders.

In a state of ever-changing flux, revealed only when he pushes the button on the access card. It is remarkable that the Orvanians could set up such a lab in just a few days and then left the planet

At least that is the simple explanation that Katarina gave him. It is not that detailed and Katarina did not care that much about it

Azief walk forward toward the boulder.

Seeing the boulder phasing in and out is quite weird

It is like something unnatural that should not exist. Azief could feel that there is a vibration in the air that changes the particles interaction with each other

As he comes closer to the boulder, the boulder like it had detected him turns into translucent images, like it was a hologram of something.

Azief had an idea so he walks even closer to the boulder and he pass the area of the boulders like he was just phasing through a windy area.

It reminds him of Will when he is phasing himself

And as he walks forward he fell toward a deep abyss. The wind whooshing around him, his robe sways wildly left and right and his entire body is covered by the pressure of descension

And he falls down to the dark abyss.
