Lord Shadow

Chapter 1655: Pursuit of the Peak



Jean look at the looming dark clouds and feeling like he too is being targeted just by looking at the clouds.

But he ignores it and look at Death Monarch, sighed and then said

"He is transforming to a different kind of being. I believe he would be prepared" Jean did not want Death Monarch to die.

Regardless of what his organization thinks of what the world thinks, Death Monarch dying does not mean the problem of the world is solved.

Death Monarch could die....but he could not die now.

If he dies now.....then Earth would lose its most powerful fighter.

With the Multiversal Convergence, there is already alien eyes that are gazing at them

Jean knows more about this because he knows that there is certain forces that is trying to open up breaches.

And it is not coming from the inside.

If its comes from the people of the Earth it is easily resolved.

But it comes from the outside.

Outside forces is trying to come in from the breaches.

This shows that other parallel universes or other dimension trying to force their way in to Earth

Of course, the Orvanians job of patching up the torn dimensional tear works well and none of them could break through these rifts.

But, who knows what will happen in the future? What if a being like the Demon King appears again?

Who could stop such being?

Jean is confident of his strength.

But he is not arrogant.

He knows what he can do and what he can't do.

At the same time, these two beings is witnessing the battle between Death Monarch and the clouds of tribulation, the tribulation force descend down to earth and shock the heaven and earth

Even the Heavenly Will is looking up from his throne. His face is the same as Azief and his expression is unreadable.

Who knows what this being made of the will of the heaven thinks about? He is clearly not happy that the Will of the Universe descend down to Earth.

But there is ranks in powers.

The Will of the Universe trumps his Will

And the Heavenly Will could sense something else. There is something ancient hidden in those clouds

And it is because of that the Heavenly Will of Earth relented.

"Let...o..the..rs...do...it" he mutters to himself

His heavenly punishment could not even form because of the pressure that Azief had emanated

He is angry at his own powerlessness and maybe he also hope that Death Monarch himself died under this tribulation

If Death Monarch dies near Earth, his energy would return back to Earth and feedback the entire Earth.

And with the laws that Death Monarch had cultivated, it would strengthen the operation of the Heavenly Will

It was just like last time when the war between the pirates and the world powers happens. The death toll was enormous, all over the world there was fighting and when the fight is over, the winner, the true winner of that war is the Heavenly Will, absorbing back all the energy of those people who had died.

The refined energy returns back to the Earth making the energy on earth become purer and denser and at the same time possessing new qualities.

All forces in the world is trying to look at this event.

Some tries to fly toward the sky.

Other uses some novel methods to reach outside the sky

The heaven and earth is far away from each other, the distance between the sky and the earth has already expanded during the Multiversal Convergence

It was like someone lifted the ceiling of the sky.

But there is still some people who are not in Divine Comprehension realm that could fly toward outer space.

The distance might be daunting for some people.

But these people are all capable people and they have their own method of traversing through

the unfavourable energy storms that is swirling all around the skies

All four corners of the Earth is filled with these chaotic auras swirling all across the sky

But, these people keep flying forward. They keep flying upwards

There is determination in their eyes and even when the weight of Heaven oppresses them,

trying to keep them down, they keep flying.

Wounds appears, their energy is roiling, and their body feel uncomfortable.

But they did not stop

Those who are determined will find a way.

Their eyes look at the sky

They were attracted to it.

Those powerful people who are confident of their strength could fly and try to seek the truth

from this event.

But the weak people could only look up from the ground that they are standing on

They could not be as brave as those people.

Because if they followed them, it is like a moth flying to fire

Even below the Heavens, on the ground, they could feel this distortive aura.

The destructive aura created this kind of dissonance between the perceived reality and the

reality itself.

When a destructive aura reaches this level, you know you are screwed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Even when you are a low-level realm, you could feel it now.

Like the heat of the sun that could be felt even though the sun itself is so far away

Azief did not know the thoughts of the others.

He did not know what Hikigaya and Jean is thinking about. He did not know the thoughts of

those people on Earth

What would Loki think and scheme about when he sees the effect of Azief breakthrough? What would Sofia think? Would she be worried about him?

What about Katarina? Would she be impulsive and fly toward the sky, trying to help him?

What about.....

All of this questions, this kind of question that he usually would think about.....right now, those question did not arise at all

Because it is only him and these clouds. And when you are face to face with Death, all question

disappears.

All you are concerned about is your mortality. Especially when there is a chance that you could

survive it.

If you survive it, then he could answer all those questions. Yes, this is what Azief is feeling right now. Facing the clouds, he felt like he is facing death itself.

There is this premonition of death. It has never been that clear as it is now. His heart palpitate

and he felt a coldness deep in his soul.

Even though there is a smile on his face, only his beating heart betrayed his smiling face

He is nervous. Smiling is an attempt to squash that nervousness. And he focused on the

clouds.

He is not afraid. But that did not mean he is not nervous. He is confident. But that did not

mean he is stupid.

He take a breath. It is an unconscious reaction of trying to dissipate nervousness. "Hahaha!" he laughs to himself. No one would hear this laugh. But this laugh is not for

anyone to hear.

It is for him

"Come on!" he shouted.

The shout is his way of chasing away the nervousness

He has waited long enough. And the tribulation has also waited long enough

BOOOOM!

The sound of thunder breaks the void and the concepts and laws around the space between Earth and the other planets.

There is rifts of void space all over the distance between earth and the other planets.

There is many other cosmic phenomena that happens that is magical and terrifying but Azief

did not have time now to look at what is happening there

He only smiles and look at the clouds above his head and he was determined. He did not move

and he did not try to run

"I can overcome this." This is a promise to himself.

"I could not die at this stage. There is still so many things to do. Still so many things to

correct" he thought to himself

It is the most important step.

And the last step. The last time, there is also this kind of tribulation. But at that time, there were many people

that help him. This time however, this is something that other people could not help

And....they are not qualified to help. This kind of tribulation clouds with its deathly aura is

enough to kills even Hikigaya and Jean.

If these two is not enough to withstand this torment, there is nobody else in the world that

could help Azief in this matter

And Azief from the beginning never thought of asking anyone for help

This time, he is alone. And he prefer it that way this time. Because only he is targeted by this

tribulation clouds.

There is no need to drag others with him. Fail or succeed, it would depend on him. And when

The think it like that, he felt light and easy

Fear, nervousness, all of that emotion is now abandoned by him

Only the pursuit.

The pursuit toward the peak.

This is how he started. And if this is how it ends, then so be it.

Right now, all of his plans, all of his thought is put to the side. All that remains is this

determination.

And that cloud.

BOOM

BOOOM!

BOOOOOOM! The sound of thunder seems to echoes his thoughts and will. The more defiant

Azief become, the louder the thunder

And unlike a thunder but no rain, there would be thunder and lightning.

And then unexpectedly, it rains.

Yes, it rains. It should not have rained. It defies physic. It defies everything one knows about

the vacuum space outside of earth
