Lord Shadow

Chapter 964: Stepping once again into the muddy world (3)

Since all energy of the Omniverse is concentrated towards the person stepping on that Grand Path.

Of course, this particular moment is very short but it is enough for Azief at that time to take advantage of it.

In that short moment, it is enough for Azief to tore open the Veil and look at the future, ignoring all natural Laws with his prowess.

No matter how the Will of Borgan tries to resist, it was broken down as easily as a twig. No resistance whatsoever and no backlash from Time or Space.

This is the same reason why Azief could not revive Paulette. When Paulette died, Jean desire to turn back time causes him to ascended to Sovereign level.

He was desperate. This is one of the tragic story during that era.

At the same time, that Paulette breathed her last breath, the sorrow and the desire of Jean to want to reverse the Laws of Life and Death, of Time and Space, and of Destiny and Fate itself, something happened.

This desire, this obsession was so strong that it broke the last obstacle for Jean to breakthrough to Sovereign level.

At this time, the Prohibition of Sovereign did not end yet.

But there is cause and effect.

That day happened because Azief had denied Jean his victory by helping Katarina during the last Battle for the Divine Throne.

Azief control the Divine Throne, momentarily relinquishing Katarina from the Divine Throne and broke the Prohibition of Sovereign, and supply the energy of a ten thousand trillion star towards Earth to cover up the lack of energy inside Earth.

If this was done in any other day, this energy would have created a large imbalance of energy on Earth.

The energy itself would be chaotic and impure which would only make things worse.

But, at that time the cumulative Will and energy of the Omniverse streamed toward Jean from the sky Heavens and the energy of these stars merged with the Will of the Omniverse, streaming endlessly toward Jean to help him cross that one last step

But there was something that Jean could not have expected. Any Sovereign before him had always break through to Sovereign alone.

There was no one around them for fear that they would attract the energy of the Omniverse. But at the time that Jean ascended to Sovereign level, laying lifelessly on his lap is Paulette.

And the Will of the Omniverse that poured down toward Jean also negatively affect the soul and body of Paulette who was on his arms.

To those who were ascending, this energy is a blessing. But those who were not, it is a curse. The soul of Paulette scattered because of that Will of Omniverse. The soul turns into an anomaly.

It could not be summoned by Soul Summoning that Azief had. And it escapes the grasp of the Grim Reaper of the Underworld.

As such, even after that, Azief did not revive Paulette.

Because, the difficulty is very steep. And there is also a fact that Azief himself rarely broke the rules he had set for himself.

If everyone could bring back the dead wherever they wanted, then the balance between life and death would be destroyed.

The rules he had created about bringing back people that died, have something to do with the truth he had comprehended about the cycle of life and death and its relation toward the energy that existed in the Omniverse.

Death and life is required for the prosperity of the Omniverse and for the balance of the Omniverse.

Change it too much, messing with it too much, then there is a price to pay.

And this time, the price that one had to pay would not be exclusively bear by oneself but the whole Omniverse

Everyone wanted to live forever. But death is a certainty. Longevity is just that. Longevity. It is not true immortality.

Erika thought that once one become a Sovereign, one truly become immortal, unable to die. Since she herself had never reached that level and she had seen the invincibility of Sovereign, she truly thought that is the case

It wasn’t until she found the vision that she got the truth

while Sovereign could live for trillions of years, passing through epochs of existence and survive the decay and entropy of the Universe, Sovereigns could still be killed.

There is a stage above Sovereign. It is a stage that Erika himself did not know.

What she does know was that in that stage, the being that would step in that transcendent state is someone who is out of the cycle of life and death, of creation and destruction, of time and space, of destiny and fate.

All the Laws of the Omniverse could not restrain this being and could not impose upon it.

A truly free being that exist eternally and endlessly, possessing all the powers that one could imagine

But, as long as one could not reach that level, death is still the Law. Death……It kept the balance. At first everyone might be happy, that nobody died.

But sooner or later, the Price would always come calling. Erika understood this price because she had seen what Azief had seen.

While she could not read the thoughts of Azief, just by seeing the things that he had seen in his journey, had broadened Erika horizon and she understood why Azief did not just revive his old friends when they die.

There is creation and there is destruction.

Having another life in the Underworld is good enough. If Azief keep bringing dead people to life, then the invisible balance between dead and life would be broken and calamity would erupt.

The energy of the world is boundless. But…. this energy come from destruction. Destruction rebirthed creation. And so on and so forth.

This is among the reason why Azief did not revive Paulette. It is the reason why there is a coffin in Neverland and why the War of the Sovereign finally happens.

Regardless of all of this, during Azief ascension he had saw how he died and since then, he had been laying plans.

Yes, this is the secret. Azief the God of Death knows how it all going to play out since he first stepped to Sovereign level.

Azief of that other timeline find a way to break through the plans that was set for him. He knew what he was lacking. He knew of the things he had to endure.

This is how deep the scheme of Azief the God of Death. Loki underestimated the cunningness of Azief the God of Death

If not for the fact that Erika share the same eye as Azief the God of Death, even she would remain unaware of this fact

Maybe, even the fact that she would found this vision is under the calculation of that cunning God of Death

God of Death Azief in that other timeline is known as a cold and cunning being. His cunningness is not sly like Loki.

He was more of a powerful schemer in the dark. His plan is even more thorough. It is detailed and when one is trapped inside his scheme, there is already no way out.

In the other timeline, people whispers when they speak his name. He was a legend that awe an entire generation of great beings

A dangerous being that deter otherworldly invasion. There is a reason why Loki when he spoke of Azief of the future, there is fear and awe in his heart

When he moves, people would look out.

How did it make sense, the most powerful Sovereign out of the seven could not predict his own fate and destiny?

How did it make sense, one of the strongest being in the Omniverse, that could fight against Jade Empire by his lonesome, and could fight against the gods of Asgard could be so helpless at the end?

How could it make sense that he had made so many mistake to end up the way he did?

Why would he leave so many of people to become his enemies and even nurture some of them to become his rival? This action of his once baffled people.

All of this is his mistake, some would think.

But it wasn’t until Erika saw the vision that she understood.

Azief had found a way to break through to the situation, to find a way of life in the path of death.

But, the solution he found could not be employed at his current life or his current timeline.

The timing was wrong.

Erika saw in the vision of how the Death God planned carefully, putting each chess pieces at the right place to know certain things at certain time period

They were some flaws of course but most of it falls into place just like dominoes that was placed correctly.

If Loki and Yewa Hafar is playing 4D chess, then Azief was playing a 5D chess.
