Lord Shadow

Chapter 1661: Hearing the Songs



He could feel the breezy winds, like he is the small gust of wind that blows all over the world. He felt what it is like to pass through the prairie grass, feel the sensation of the sands in desert, feel the texture of the misty clouds, feels the texture of every living being that is touched by the wind

Yet, he also feels the sensation of grass being blown, the leaves that is falling from the branches of the tree, feeling the sensation of the tree enduring rain and heat, feeling everything

He heard the songs these things have. The Song of the Seas, of mountains and hills, of lakes and rivers.

The heat, the cold, everything in between, the beauty of it all. And for a moment, Raymond even forget that he is in the middle of his own breakthrough.

Intoxicated, enchanted, bedazzled. This is the best way to describe what is happening to him. Just like when Oreki is facing his tribulation, Raymond is also facing his own. He tempered his body using the trident as conduit.

Because of the trident he make an even more drastic decision. He uses the trident to draw the real tribulation lightning bolt from the heavens.

What he took in was the thunderbolt that is hitting Death Monarch

This is usually a suicide move. Don't look at how easy it was for Death Monarch to withstand those lightning bolts.

Death Monarch has already reached the peak of Divine Comprehension realm and then condense his essence into avatars and even fuse them even further to create three separations which is an unorthodox way to even begin with

Such thunderbolt if it allowed to hit the world, it would create such a huge catastrophic destruction that it would rival the kind of effect when the dinosaurs is wiped out from the earth

That is the scale of destructive power that each thunderbolt that attack Death Monarch possesses. And Raymond took it even when he is still in Disk Formation realm. The only reason he did not disintegrate into atom particles right now is because he holds the trident of Poseidon.

Even though Raymond himself did not possess all of its power, this is still the true weapon of a God.

And a such, the power it possess, the defensive measures it had was activated when such a force attack it.

The thunder bolts hits the trident in his hand

The space around the trident ripples but Raymond is unscathed

relying on the trident absorbing properties and refining capabilities, Raymond uses it to temper his body without worrying that the energy would be too overbearing

Raymond even have some ideas that maybe this trident is effective against lightning bolts.

If Poseidon knows what he is thinking right now, he would laugh because Raymond was right on the nose

The trident of Poseidon is very effective against lightning bolts.

Because if there is someone Poseidon always fought with, it is with Zeus.

And everyone knows Zeus most favoured weapon

A lightning bolt

This trident of Poseidon not only have the power to direct lighting away or attract it, it also could harvest the power of the lightning bolts and refine it to suit the energy of the wielder, making it like an item that could use all energies in the world.

Like an absorbing energy artifact.

Absorbing energies always have this work around it. You have to make sure the energy is compatible, the law is compatible, there is no impurities and so on and so forth

But this is not the case for the trident. If the law is incompatible, it would strip the laws and only take the essence of that energy.

And that is what Raymond is doing.

Stripping all harmful effect of the lightning, leaving only the kind of lightning that would pressurise his physique and purified his veins and bones and nerves.

And after a few more refining of the lightning, Raymond no longer draw the lightning bolt towards him but the sky hole above his head did not recover

There is a large hole in the sky, crackling with energy, and on the edges of this hole is a sign of space.....burning...if that is the right word.

Raymond took a glance at the burning hole of space above his head and shakes his head

"What kind of tribulation that Azief is facing if it could create such phenomenon? He thought to himself.

Most people call Azief Death Monarch. Not many people in the world called him Azief. That is reserved only for his close friends and enemies.

Raymond is none of those things.

He is not Azief friend.

They might cooperate and even at times work with each other, though never directly but even when they do work directly with each other, it is not like they are close friends.

And Raymond is not Azief enemy either.

Raymond don't hate Azief guts.

Though he does not like the way Azief conduct at certain things, it did not reach to the point where he would hate him

However, if there is one thing that connect these two men, it is the fact that they like the same person.

And maybe that gives him the right to call him by his real name. Nobody would give their love rival that much of respect like stranger.

Raymond did not think that much when he spoke his name. But there is this unconscious thought and because of that unlike Jean and Hikigaya who still said Death Monarch when referring to Azief, Raymond did not

It only took a moment before Raymond focused back on the changes that is happening to his

body right now

Raymond has now had enough force and pressure to breakthrough and the moment he decided it, the skies darkened and ominous clouds gathered.

BOOOM!

BOOOM!

The sound of thunder rising like a symphony of death is being orchestrated across the sky. The energy of the world surges toward Raymond, the process of turning himself into an energy

form.

Breaking and healing, dividing and converging

Another clash between mortal and heaven would happen again.

The one who is most troubled by this development is none other than the Heavenly Will. The energy of the world is quickly drained even more.

Sitting on His throne, he look down toward the world, his forehead crunched and there is

anger in his heart right now

The world had just upgraded itself and now because of the sudden promotion of two more Divine Comprehension beings, the energy of the world is once again sucked by these creatures

under the heaven

The Heavenly Will could feel the screams of the world. He could see that some places had a drastic change of energy.

To some people this is but a negligible change in the energy of the world. It did not affect the world as much as when Death Monarch drains the energy of the world

But to the Heavenly Will, every reduction is an act of threatening the survival of Earth. Threatening His survival.

Of course, the stronger the creature in Earth, the harder it is for it to be invaded by other super

beings.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But it should also not exceed the limit of this world so that this world did not become a world of cardboard to these living beings

Like "That Person" the Heavenly Will thought and His thought affects the world.

The thunder grew louder because of it, the lightning bolts become hotter and heavier, the

earth trembles the sea waves churning, the energy of the sky is full of menacing intent, the wind that blows, the rain that falls, all of it is now shrouded with a killing intent

The energy that is required for both Raymond and Hikigaya did not reach the level that is

noticed by people.

Like even a half of one percent. Even lower than that.

Azief has already drained a lot of the world energy and now, two more people is draining the

energy of the world

And of course, the Heavenly Will has to respond. The Heavenly Will is gazing down on them and unlike before, both Raymond and Oreki could now see the face of the Heavenly Will. Both of them is still surprised even though they had heard the rumour.

The face of the Heavenly Will is very similar to Death Monarch. No, not similar...but exactly

the same. That is what both of them thought

Even though they had heard beforehand, they are still shocked. They could see the heavenly

Will image through the lines of reality

It is like a world of mirrors. Now, that they are about to breakthrough to Divine

Comprehension, they could see the layers of dimension on Earth.

And there is many. These worlds that are hidden from the normal eyes

They see the world that is unknown to most people and also see the face of the Heavenly Will

personification

"This is how those three sees the world?" Raymond thought before laughing

"what a beautiful world they see!" he thought to himself.

It is the same thought as Oreki.

But they are still shocked seeing the face of the Heavenly Will

Oreki got to learn that the Heavenly Will has the same face as Death Monarch from Hikigaya.

Since Hikigaya could easily see through the Heavenly dimension.

That is what Hikigaya called it.
