Lord Shadow

The Multiversal Convergence had ended, but its effect is just beginning. The aftermath of this event would surely once again changes the power dynamics in the world.

While most of the people related to Death Monarch went to that hill to help Jean, the other great powers had their own concern.

And all of this concern would have to be addressed sooner than later. All of these great leaders look toward that island where Katarina was kidnapped and waited.

They waited to see what that person would do.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The seagull flies above the clouds, flapping its wings, the wind gust generated by it moves the clouds. But above the clouds, is more clouds.

The heaven is high and people could only look in awe. It is like now, the task of reaching the Heaven would become even more harder

Today, the world witnessed Gods fighting each other and they saw the might of the Heaven. And they realized that they are still weak.

That the path to strength is still long. Those who rest on their laurels, those experts of Disk Formation leveler, realized that they are just a stronger ant.

They always thought that they were the eagles flying in the air. And those below them is ants. But today, they discover that they are still the ant. Only that they were stronger.

They rested in their laurels and now they saw that those who did not stop improving themselves, now soar to the sky and become an eagle, looking down at them.

The sky is of variety of colors as the energy of the Demon King is still filling up the world.

The land that is closest to the battle between Death Monarch and Demon King was affected badly during the battle. Many of the continent split apart or exploded into pieces

But it is also that nearby region that experience a surge of renewal after the battle ended. Now, the area is full of life.

There is an island that is floating above the water. It had appeared not too far away from the battle site. But not too close either.

It only was there to absorbs some of the energy that is left behind.

This island is the Island of Peace

Hirate had preserve most of the power of the Island of Peace and now that the battle had ended, the phasing feature of the island had been deactivated.

Hirate come out from the cerebral device room and went out from the building. He stands there, looking toward his right and left and sighed.

There is no one inside the island

Most of them were transported into the Mirror Dimension.

Others followed Raymond into battle. Fortunately, Death Monarch had flung them away with one wave of his hand, sparing their lives

he looks at the sky above and he sighed.

‘High. It is very high’ he mutters to himself. The Island of Peace right now is floating above the ocean and it is surrounded by white clouds and mist that made it hard to see.

The protection formation of the island is repairing itself by absorbing the energy that is filling the world

The Island of Peace floats around ten feet from the surface of the sea. The energy that is coming from the Island of Peace is forcing the sea around it to be calm

Below the Island of Peace is the calmly moving waves of the ocean. Life seems to find a balance now. The sea creatures appear after one another.

Large sea beast come out from their hiding places and swims across the large and vast ocean that is now presented to them

Some of these sea creatures prefers colder temperature.

So they migrate with their nest, creating large dark silhouette in the bottom of the ocean that could be seen from above

The other features of the Island had also been restored.

Hirate sighed. thankfully, all of the elites did not died. Most of them survived the worst, he thought to himself

He had met Jean a few minutes ago where he alluded to the agreement that he had made with Loki.

Jean promise him that he would not say anything about the matter. Like he had said to him, the world could not afford a falling out with Death Monarch at this moment

And if he only looks at the result, Death Monarch action has now solved the energy deficiency problem of Earth.

He sighed again. He too is waiting for something.

But as he waits, eh thought about many things.

The size of the world had increased and as such, humanity need to adapt to it.

The Great Power must maintain order as quick as possible.

With so many new continents that sprouted out of nowhere, and now a vast ocean that dwarf the size of the past oceans, the ability of the Great Powers to control the world might be more limited.

Before, a few Disk Formation leveler is enough to control a region as each of Disk Formation leveler could easily travel from one continent to the other in a few minutes and for some even only in a few seconds.

But now, clearly with the size of the world that is extremely large, like a super earth, Disk Formation leveler is not enough to maintain the control the Great Power over the world

Because they could no longer travel that fast or respond to situation as fast as before

Pandemonium is still able to retain their control because Pandemonium is Pandemonium.

As for the Republic, there is now Jean. But for the World Government, there is Hikigaya. And he did not know how he feels about that

There are of course many other matters other than that needs to be settled. There is the Loki matters.

And then there is the matters of Katarina.

He did not expect any of this to happen. Especially about Katarina.

Out of the many people that the Demon King could have kidnapped, he had kidnapped Katarina. This pose a problem to the security of this world

Because, Hirate could guess what Death Monarch would choose to do and that is for him to go to Katarina.

And if he is not here, what would happen if there is another invader with that same kind of power coming to Earth again?

He shudders just to think about it

Nothing is more real than the battle the had seen before.

This is the truth of the world.

And the truth is that humans is still weak. That Demon king would have wiped out humanity on Earth if not for Death Monarch, Time Monarch and Illusionist Archmage.

Titans…all of them.

Right now, he is waiting for a lot of things. He is waiting for the inevitable visit by Death Monarch that would surely ask him about Loki matters.

And he is also waiting for his soldiers and the other senate members to return to the Island of Peace. Jean had told him that Lee Sangmin would release everyone in an empty continent

The one that is busiest right now is undoubtedly is none other than Jean.

He is…everywhere. Since he is the only one that could travel through the current energy storms that is ravaging all over the world right now

He is also the only one that could move fast enough, ignoring time and space, like it is connected by a door.

Even Hirate, a Disk Formation leveler would not be able to travel freely right now in the world.

the chaos energy that fills the world is not yet stetted so he could not directly manipulate space. And there is a fact that he is never proficient in the manipulation of space.

Then there is the matter of distance and the density of gravity in the world.

He could feel that if he flies now, his speed would be restrained by the heavenly laws. Yes, that is another thing he had discovered.

The Heavenly Law is getting stronger.

‘Thinking of something?’ A voice enters his ears and it startled Hirate for a second. But he recognized that voice.

Hirate look behind him and there is an avatar of Jean

‘I thought you have dispersed this avatar’

Jean smiles and then he walks to stand beside Jean. He looks at the open seas that is revealed in front of him

Not far away from there is a floating waterfall.

The water falls down to the ocean. The flora and fauna of that forest waterfall is very mystical with all kinds of flowers in all kinds of variety of colors is represented.

‘Island of Peace ability to survive is quite astounding’ Jean said

Hirate only smiles and said

‘Just some simple petty tricks.’

There was silence between these two for a moment. Hirate did not understand why Jean appears again.

Jean look up at the sky and then said

‘Those people…. you done something to them’ It took for a second for Hirate to understand what Jean is talking about and then he looks where Jean is looking and then he understood.

Jean is talking about the prisoner in the moon.

‘Precautions’ he answers

Bondage’ Jean simply said. Time energy wafted around him, swirling under his feet and a kind of green mist floated around him, making his face seems to be blurred.

Hirate could feel like he is looking at a powerful being that he should not too closely. He had meet Jena many times before as they normally interacted with each other.

But, never before, Jean had this kind of pressuring effect on him.

Right now, Hirate felt that if Jean wanted to do something to him, there is no technology that he had in his arsenal that could stop him

It felt like when he is in front of Death Monarch

‘You created a device that could restrain Disk Formation leveler. Did Raymond know about this?’ Jean ask

Hirate expression turned hard.

He nodded.

‘That’s why’ Jean suddenly said like he had understood something. Then Jean sighed and look at Hirate

‘You were the one that obstruct Raymond from advancing?’ Hearing this Hirate was puzzled.

‘What do you mean by that?’

‘I have expected that you didn’t know that you have accidentally block Raymond Grand Path.’ Sighing Jean then said

‘I know Raymond. He must be in a dilemma. On one side is the World Government. On the other side, is his conscience. There is an obstruction in his heart. If you keep doing this to him, he would never be able to realize his potential. He wants to be stable like the Earth. And you make that stable heart, unstable’

Sighing, he then said

‘It is without a doubt that energy is needed in breaking through. But when you reach a high level, you would know that there is a slight change in breaking through. Death Monarch sues Perfection Path, striving to the extreme. People only need Nine Laws. He needs Thirteen. The same for his Seed and Disk. It is to the extreme. I on the other hand cultivated only one and brought it to the extreme, to seek my path. Death Monarch found another way. His own way’

‘He must have known and determined what his Grand Path is and he had not looked back, always striving forward. You force Raymond to bear obstruction in his heart. Your dirty method…do not suit him.’

Then he added

‘His path is not your path. And your path is not his path. Let go of some things. Cooperate where there is common understanding. Don’t force it’

Hirate was speechless for a second and then he nodded

‘I will destroy that thing in the Moon’

Hirate was talking about the cuff that was created to restrain Disk Formation leveler. But there is also another thing which is the Mind Changing Frequency that he had created

The prison in the moon is a joint program between the great powers. But Jean must have discovered the secret prison in the moon.

It is truly hard to hide something like that from a Divine Comprehension leveler that could ignore distance and time.

Jean hearing Hirate words only snorted and said

‘It is merely because it is no longer useful. You know that if Death Monarch knows about your little pet project on the moon, he would destroy it.

‘I never trust something that I could not control’ Jean snickered and simply said

‘Have you ever been able to control him? You can’t’

Hirate simply said

‘I think he have bigger problem right now. And if my Mind Scan was accurate, you are not in a good spot yourself. Hikigaya is also injured. So, I guess, I still have time’

Jean only sighed

Then Hirate ask once again.

‘Why are you here? I doubt it is just to lecture me.’

‘I wanted to give you some report. The order of the world must be established quickly. A lot of people die. But there is also a lot of people that survived. And now, the world is ripe for the taking. The Great Powers need to maintain order’

I agree’ Hirate ask

The Three Great generals of Pandemonium is helping me, supplying me with energy. Raymond is coming back the Island. My Time Avatar is escorting him so that he would not get swept by some of the energy storms that is ravaging the world.

‘The Divine Archer?’ Hirate ask

‘She is with me’

‘She’s helping you?’ And Hirate raises his eyebrows.

‘It is hard to know what women think’ Jean simply said.

Both Hirate and Jean knows that the Divine Archer have a complicated relationship with the Ice Queen. But Hirate did not push for more answers. He just listens to what Jean is reporting to him.

‘And the Speedster is also with me’

‘Where was he before? Did he close the Multiversal points’?

Jean nodded

‘This act you are doing right now…. for long you could endure it?’ Hirate ask

‘Three days

‘Three days’ Hirate muttered

So, there would be three days for Death Monarch to settle his matters’

Jean nodded. But he also said

‘Or, maybe he would not care about those three days and he would enter the portal, regardless of the fact that I could endure it for three days’

Hirate laughed

‘I could imagine him doing that’ Then Hirate face changed to a serious expression and he look at Jean. Jean also look at him and Hirate said

‘Then…it means you must convince him Jean. Convince him that you could endure it for three days. The world, like you said, need stabilizing. If Death Monarch is not here to constrain some of those undesirables, then there is high chance that the Criminal Alliance would be able to grow stronger later.

Jean nodded and simply said

‘I know. I will convince him’

Then there was silence again. Jean appears to be standing there with him but Hirate know that Jean right now is everywhere, relaying many things to all the great powers leaders.

When he is silent, it must mean that the burden on his mind causes him to be a little bit slow. Then suddenly Jean said

‘Lee Sangmin is with Warp’ Hirate nodded

‘I know’

‘Look after yourself. Narleod probably would be able to complete his research’

I have my own trump card’ Hirate said. Jean was about to say something else when he jerks his head to another direction and he frowned.

‘I have to go.’

Hmm?’

Death Monarch’ Jean said and then he dissipated into motes of light. Hirate frowned and he tries to look toward that direction that Jean is looking before. He sighed

‘I could not see anything’

And he sighed hard.
