Lord Shadow

Chapter 1365: Status Quo

The sun is about to set, the birds flies in the sky no doubt returning to their nest, the clouds moves slowly in the sky, the orange glow of sunset is beautiful     

The waves of the sea lapped on the shore, the sound of which brings serenity.      

On a hill overlooking the sea, there is a large round stone table and two leaning chairs.      

The forest is beautiful full of greenery and colors. There are some beast roaming around but they know not to come near that area     

Laying down on the leaning chairs is Azief and Will, rocking back and forth. They look at the beautiful scenery in front of them      

They have already finished touring the entire city and the surrounding mountains. And now they are chilling.      

There is a fireplace that Azief had just made. Like always, when they are in the wild, he would make a few cup of coffee.     

It would not be long now before the sun sets' Azief mutters to himself as he takes a sip of the coffee.      

Will takes a sip and he could not help but said     

'It seems you still make good coffee.'     

'It is a pity there is not many varieties of coffee in this place. If not, I could make it feel even more delicious' Will only smiles      

They were leaning back on their chair relaxed. Will then sighed and slowly put down his coffee. He had a lot in his mind right now     

He had already heard from Azief on why he created the Sword of Humanity. It is a crazy plan…. but it is so crazy that it might just work.      

Will is the only other person that have seen what Azief would become. And since then he is also worried.      

There is also the matter between him and Erika and he could tell Erika knows more than she is telling     

Of course, the Erika he is thinking about is none other than the Great Oracle Erika.      

He is still thinking about her and wonder whether there are other ways for their stories to end. But he shakes the thought out of his head and focus on something else     

His brother.      

There was silence for a while as they simply enjoy it…. the silence between them, the sound of the wind, the scent of nature, the chirping of birds, the hissing of snakes, all around them there is this noise of nature.     

The world might have changed and for some it is worse than before.      

But one thing that no one could deny was that the world had become more beautiful, less metal buildings and more plants and animals.     

Teeming with life, the air is clear the water is clean. Beauty everywhere.      

The silence is also beautiful. Azief did not think too much but Will had a lot of question.      

this silence could not last forever.      

Will did not come here simply to enjoy the scenery. The Turbulent Sea is not a place one simply just travel easily.      

It might not appear so but he is exhausted and his speed is recovering.      

And it is time for him to ask some question. And he needs some answer.      

'Azief, what you have done have send waves all over the entire world' he started     

Azief only smiles     

He could guess it. But the method come into his mind and he think it is the right moment. Unlike Jean, time is never enough for him     

Will then continued     

'The Great Powers had send their fleet sailing the sea, all of them would converge here'      

'Did the Four Powers send their fleets?'     

'No' Will answer     

'Why?' Azief ask.     

'League of Freedom is busy with reconstruction, African Alliance is handling a massive secession request, Lotus Order have an internal war and Order of Thinkers had to sail the Blood Sea if they want to go to the Turbulent Sea.'     

Azief scoffed     

'I guess they seem to have their reason prepared'     

Will nodded.      

'Of course, some of them are simply giving this excuse because they don't want to see you'     

Will chuckles a bit and said      

'Narleod had always feared you since you cut his hand, and the Order of Thinkers is still in the crosshairs because of their human experimentation. And the African Alliance is simply not familiar with you and mostly have political ties with the World Government. They do not feel comfortable with you and I daresay, that they are a little bit afraid of you exercising some political power over them     

I see that you exclude Lotus Order from that'     

Will simply said &    

nbsp;   

'Lee Sangmin had redeemed himself after what he had did in the Multiversal Convergence'     

'Many people were saved because of his Mirror Dimension. And they very much like to ally with Pandemonium. Out of the four, they are the only one who have goodwill toward you and would surely have sent a delegation if not for the current chaos that their dominion is experiencing. Asia, Europe and Pandemonium are three continents that have expanded the most. The fact that the Republic could still manage send a fleet even while coping with the expansion of Europe is already remarkable enough. However, such standard could not be applied to the four new great powers'     

Azief nodded and he chuckles a bit     

'It seems you have come prepared'     

'I found out that it is not hard to remember things now. My teacher called it the expansion of the use of the Speed Source.'     

Azief only smiles at this.      

'But, not all that is sailing the sea right now have good intentions' Azief did not seem to be shocked by this as he takes the cup of coffee again and take a sip.      

'some are preparing to deal with you'     

Azief chuckles at this as he said     

'When did they never not do that?' Will also sighed.     

With Azief being the strongest person in the world, there is always a challenger towards that throne.      

Either directly or overtly, there is always people that wanting to drag him down from that throne.      

'Let me guess' Azief said     

'the Crime Alliance?'     

Will sighed and nodded     

'The Crime Alliance now is not the Crime Alliance six months ago, Azief'     

'They have expanded their business and their business is booming. There is the usual racketeering and protection scheme. There is also terror and drugs and other contraband products that they are trading'     

'the other world powers just ignore them?'     

Will shakes his head at this.     

'This is a times of chaos. Not only the world order is being severely tested right now, new factions had risen like mushroom after a rain'      

'And it is not like before where it is easy to find someone. With the chaotic energy all over Heaven and Earth, Divine Sense is severely limited. It might be such a heavy task for Divine Comprehension leveler like you, but for Disk Formation leveler like me, my Divine Sense has severely been limited. Of course, I use the Speed Source so, I am an exception to the rule'     

Azief nodded.      

'Is there any more factions that wanted me dead'     

'Well….' Will sighed and said     

'While the Crime Alliance is the most obvious one, there are many other faction and forces that wanted to see you die. Many of them had hoped you would die when you go to the Seresian world'     

'What about the other world powers? They did not wish my death?'     

Will shakes his head and said     

'Maybe, some of them do. But the majority of the people in the great powers probably do not want you to die'     

'Say what you want about your tyrannical reputation as the strongest person in the world, but it is true that you sitting on that spot has made sure order is preserved'     

He then continued     

'If you die, or if you lose that title, the battle that would erupt for the throne of the strongest person in the world would be a battle never seen before'     

Will was not exaggerating. His face is serious     

World Government in the beginning does not like that Azief sat on that position and in the early years of the Fall, Hirate had devised all kinds of strategy to dethrone him from that position     

At that time, the World Government is the strongest organization in the world.      

The Republic at that time is still known as the Revolutionary Army and they were only in their infancy     

Boris was fighting other people for the leadership.      

Will did not know much about the history of the establishment of the Republic but he knows during the early years, Boris was not as lucky as Hirate.     

Hirate uses Japan as his base, subdue the Emperor and quickly make contact with the two most powerful warlord in Japan and then quickly contacting other powerful people all over the world, binding them to the World Government.     

The establishment of the World Government is swift and orderly.      

At that time, it is not an exaggeration to say if the World Government expand the way they did, binding powerful people to the World Government    

, then the motto of the World Government, One World, One Government at that time could be realized     

But, then Lord Shadow appears and Hirate had done his best to try to take Azief down a notch.     

To try to tame him.      

He tries to capture him, kill him and blackmail him.      

And unfortunately enough for him, with each obstacle Azief become stronger and cemented himself firmly on the throne of the strongest person in the world.      

Forward a few years, and the world had been accustomed of having Azief on that throne. And there is an order built around this status quo.
