Lord Shadow - Chapter 1644: Warehouse
But even in his mind right now, there is pain. Memories he unusually put in the back of his mind, surfaces again. “Is this also part of the tribulation?” he thought to himselkf
And there is many thoughts, many painful memories
The regret. The unfulfilled desires. The broken dreams. All the things he wished he would have done, all the things he wished he had never done, things he should do and things he shouldn’t. All of those memories, like a snow that piles up…is heavy
Usually, this memory is only sitting there on the back of his mind is now suddenly dug up, by some kind of force and his mind could not stop thinking about it
The tribulations clouded the mind, punish the body, and weaken the soul. This is akin to the decline of Heavenly being, tribulations of immortals and demons. Azief knows this. But he could not stop the memories from rushing forwards, each one is trying to weaken his resolve
When he was mortal, before the Fall, he even had less reason to live. His life was colorless. And he could not remember when it had regained color.
But then after the Fall, there is also bad memories. But there is also the good ones. He like to think that his life is like some kind of youth drama but it is not
And he knows it. He saw killings. And he kills. And the same for the other. Survival took priority. And sometime, that survival requires certain dark heart. But some cruise by with luck. Azief did not do many things that would anger Heaven and Earth, but there are somethings he wished he could have changed. There is Tan. A long-forgotten memory that he nearly forgotten
The person who help him in his earliest journey. He remembers he saw Sofia in a mall. He remembers Lakshmi that Indian girl with the stick. Sita with the whop, he remembers the two general Razak and Bashar.
All of this are old memories. All of it felt like a lifetime ago
He remembers how he met Loki, Sina and others. He remembers the good times. He remembers the bad times. He remembers how he proposed to Sofia and get turned down. He remembers how he met Katarina. How he met Will in a different world.
The memory become jumbled up, not knowing which one come from the past and which one is the present. The only similarities is that these memories are painful memories or a memory that leads to a painful conclusion
The more you love, the more you hate. The more you remember, the deeper the pain. The more you trust, the more you feel betrayed. All of these memories are like knives and it is cutting his heart into a thousand pieces.
All of this fills his mind and he could not help but feel like his mind is about to be split open
But he is still sane. He still has that obsession and since he still have that obsession than nothing could bring him down
There is another energy that he needs to bring out. His Inner World is already crumbling that it look nothing like the Inner World he had before
But it did not matter. “Cut!” he shouted His shout could not even pass through the droning sound that covers the world. It could not pierce through the Songs of the World, Song of the sea and forest, of mountains and hills.
But his shout could be heard by the Heavenly Will. Odin hears it. The Trident of Poseidon trembles because of it.
The cosmic clouds that is gathering above the heavens split in two because of it. This goes unnoticed by everyone
Heavenly Will look down from His newly rebuilt throne, feeling uneasy. Azief cut
And what did he cut?
Another part of himself. This time, he cut his Cosmic energy. And the moment he did that, cosmological force around Earth seems to go crazy
The Energy turns to Essence, solidified into its purest form
The Cosmic Essence
Another aura pierces the skies and it pressures space and time to be suppressed. Time stopped above Azief head. On his back, the time decelerate. On his front the time accelerate.
Distortion of time and space become even more severe. If not for the fact that the other Essence emanated a force of their own counteracting the destructive nature of his Cosmic essence, Pandemonium right now would be wiped out from the face of the Earth
If one could see all of these Essence Avatars, they look like they are circling Azief. Not to destroy or pressure him
But to protect him. With each essence he extracted he becomes weak. Almost human. Clearly mortal. But a mortal would have exploded if they are in such area of high concentration energy.
Especially this kind of energy that is uncontrollable, chaotic and immense in power
But even after all that, he could still walk. He is weak, yes, but he is not dead. And that alone is a miracle
The essence is made from him. They have their own thoughts, their own pursuit and desire, but they are in the end, connected to the original body. They have a binding fate and destiny. So, it is not weird to think that these Essence instead of flying outside Earth to gather more energy, they stay here, standing like pillars surrounding Death Monarch
Protectors. Guardians. If anyone could see the scene that Azief himself could not see right now…. that is what it looks like to anyone.
The Cosmic force comes from outside. The moons and the stars above the Heavens poured down energies. Before, each one of the Essence Avatar pierces the Heavens. But where did the light go? Where did the aura go?
It pierces the Heavens?
What did it target?
What it pierces is the energy of the world. What it targeted is the energy, laws, concepts that is in the heaven and earth
Piercing the Heavens means weakening the Heaven. The operations of the world, the energy of the worlds, the laws and concepts of the world is controlled by the Heavenly Will
When you weaken the Heavenly Will, you could take the necessary energy from the Heavens
It is not so complicated in the early years of the Fall. But this is no longer the early years of the Fall.
The heavenly Will awaken, the Will of the World embedded itself into the fabric of reality of Earth, there is wills from things that did not have wills before, life thrived in unexpected ways and when there is life, there is will. When there is will, there is desires. And when there is desires, there would be conflict
Heaven is like a warehouse.
Sometimes, it opens the warehouse and shares the things that it have in the warehouse with other people. But when the outside the warehouse wanting more than the Heaven gives, the Heavens would not give it, fearing that the people outside the warehouse will become so strong that they would ransack all the warehouse
But the people outside the warehouse also knows this. They could not become stronger if they did not get the things in the warehouse
Because to become stronger, they need more thing from the warehouse This is something no one could negotiate. Because the warehouse have no guardians and the warehouse has a will of its own. Since this matter could not be negotiated, the only thing the two parties could do is to fight against each other
The people outside the warehouse want the warehouse odor to be open. But the warehouse doesn’t want the doors to be open. The people outside the warehouse would attack the warehouse and the warehouse would use its things to repel the people outside the warehouse
This is the current relationship between levelers and the Heavenly Will
The warehouse is the Heavenly Will. And the things inside the warehouse is the energy, the laws, the intangible concepts that is present in all heaven and earth
If you ask only a little, the warehouse will not be angry. But when you ask more than should be given, ask so much that the warehouse could be emptied the next second, then the warehouse would fight back.
And so, the Evenly Tribulation would fall
And this is what Azief had done. He is basically ransacking the warehouse right now and the warehouse could not allow more than this.
But the warehouse could not withstand Azief ransacking. That is what Azief is. And if that is not enough, he did not ransack the warehouse of this world, he also ransacking the warehouses of other worlds.
And so, there is a cosmic clouds, cosmic thunder and lightning gathering its momentum, outside of the Heavens and Earth, waiting, accumulating power to smite this mortal
Too much of a force of power
That is what Azief is. And if that is not enough, he did not ransack the warehouse of this world, he also ransacking the warehouses of other worlds.
And so, there is a cosmic clouds, cosmic thunder and lightning gathering its momentum, outside of the Heavens and Earth, waiting, accumulating power to smite this mortal
Each time his Essence Avtar was formed, the energy pierces the Heavens and the warehouse of heaven is pierced so easily the energy of the world, the laws that is needed to condense the avatar travels all across heaven and earth, filling the world but quickly was absorbed by the Essence Avatar that correspond to that energy or law
The world seems to be sealed right now, energies of the world fills the sky and the seas
There is fear and awe, there is beauty and terror. When one look at the sky, one sees a distorted skies, distorted clouds, changing space and time.
It is terrifying. But in a weird and ironic way, it is also very beautiful
Those who knows and could deduce the reason for this change are all powerful people of the world, who had seen tehri fair share of the world, knows the world secret, those people who have Disk Formation realms, who could go up and down, fighting above in the heaven and down below the earth
But for the weak ones…. what did they think when they look at the sky and sees the aura that change the skies, disturbing the Heavens?
What do they feel in their hearts when they could sense the trembling of the Earth, the shaking of mountains, the rumbling of the seas?
They did not know the secrets of the world, their eyes could not penetrate the secrets of Heavens, their senses could not warn them and their mind could not deduce the matters of the world
These are the common people of the world. They are stronger than mortals before the Fall but they are not godlike beings like those Disk Formation levelers, they could not fight up and down in the Heavens and fight below the earth
They wanted only to survive. their cultivation of power and abilities is mediocre. And of course, each of them knows that to survive in this new era of gods, they need to be strong and strive to raise their level.
But even that needed time. And the circumstance of the world will not wait for them. All they see is the Heaven falling down and the Earth is angry. And they could only wish that they would survive this storm
