Lord Shadow

Chapter 1662: Shining Bright



The Heavenly Dimension

The dimension that is just a layer thin that separate the reality of this world and the dimension where the Heavenly Will reside.

He is everywhere, because the other dimension is fully controlled by Him and His will connects the two dimensions

As for Raymond, he learns it from Azief himself. He said it at the end of a conversation.

Raymond still remembers how casual Azief said it

It is more like a postscript message like it was nothing big. But to Raymond, it is something significant

The Heavenly Will did not take any other appearance but instead took the appearance of the mortal beings that steal His authority.

There is something there. Hatred probably. Or maybe it is something more.

On the other side of the world, some people could feel that the energy of the world is being drained again.

And not only that, they could see that the Sea of Lightning suddenly no longer roaring with thunder or flashing with lightning bolts.

Instead, it is quiet.

It did not take long for the whole seven world powers to learn that Oreki is attempting a breakthrough

Someone from the Japan Empire notified the world power so that they would not come here and disturb the breakthrough or get caught up in the tribulation

the area of Japan is now a sea of lightning and thunder, a lone man surrounded by thunderstorm, bombarded by the heavens with tens of thousands of lightning bolt.

And then in just a few minutes, the World Government send message to all the other six great powers, Raymond is attempting a breakthrough near one of the Ten Seas so don't disturb him This two-news shocked everyone.

Most people could not dare look at the sky right now.

Even though the pressure of that gigantic face was mitigated by the heavenly will, it did not change the fact that the pressure is still there, the face is still there, floating in the heavens like some kind of warning

However, not many people understand what face is that.

Or whose face is it?

Some people look and the face looks nothing like anyone they know. It does not look like the face of Death Monarch. Or anyone famous.

It is nondescript.

But the gaze. The eyes. Seems to be able draw up their biggest fears that they hidden deep in their hearts.

It brought up fears, uncertainty and many more dark things in their minds and hearts into the surface

Hence, not many dares to look at the sky

And why it exudes such destructive aura.

But it did not take a genius to know that the appearance of a gigantic face in the sky is never a good thing.

These are the affairs of gods and deities.

This is the thought of the people with low realm. Those who still hovers between Orb Condensing stage and Energy Disperse stage could only think this way

This kind of phenomenon that invited heaven shaking thunder and world exterminating lightning bolts, with gigantic unknown faces appearing in the sky, this is in a realm different from themNôv(el)B\\jnn

Affairs of gods and deities.

But those two not only did not care, they are even provoking the heavenly will

Now, some people understand why the energy of the world decreased once again.

And another realization flashes in the minds of the world powers. A problem that was once brought up in the World Council meeting

But both Raymond and Oreki did not know the thinking of those people and even if they know they could not care right now

Oreki is comparing his lightning and thunder with the heavens!

While Raymond is being responded by the heaven with thunderous roars and dazzling bolts of lightning, attempting to impose their divine authority.

The force of the Heaven morphs into beings. Some of them beastly looking, some of them beautiful in appearance, some appears in the form of winds, water, fire, air.

Winged creatures descend from the clouds, their wings spanning vast expanses of the sky, black in colours, their eyes is black and they breathe fires from their nose.

Their appearance is both beautiful and terrifying like some kind of angelic being that is being corrupted.

The force of heavens appears, like they are prepared to quell the defiant force that dared to challenge the celestial order.

"the force of the heaven and the force of the Earth which one is stronger!" Raymond shouted it and the thunder answer, roaring

Raymond did not fly up instead he flies down. Below him is the sea. There is no earth, there is

no ground

But is that a problem for him?

For a being like him, this is not a problem at all

Right now, he feels like the world, the earth beneath the sea follows his instruction. With the trident on his hand, the seas could be controlled

The Ten Seas are powerful but could it withstand the force of the trident of a god?

It could not

The only reason that Raymond could not control the Ten Seas completely is simply because he could not control the trident fully

As he floated down from the sky, the sea beneath his feet give way to an island.

This is land elevated toward the surface of the sea.

The will of his heart moves the earth, the sea gave way, a large landmass appears to welcome Raymond like he is the overlord of the domain of the world

Gold and diamonds could be seen on this landmass with bones and fishes and eerie creatures from the deep sea all losing their breath when they were brought to the surface of the sea

It only takes a second before the ground beneath these creatures swallow them like they are in

a quicksand. Raymond landed on the ground; his feet planted firmly onto the ground.

"Ah, that is better" he thought to himself, as he could feel the earth nourishes him, connected

to the whole

The Earth nourishes him, like lightning and thunder nourishes Oreki. He is in his element and

he is confident

"I have tried. I have failed. I try again. I fail again. So, I fail better" And he laughs.

All those people who could be mentioned in the same breath as Death Monarch all have their own qualities, a strength of character.

Luck might play a part in the beginning but to survive this long, to survive all those chaos, all those life and death situation, of hard battles, of great war.....luck would not be enough Along the way, these people, these figures that are now legends in their own rights all have certain strength of character.

Whether it be obsession, faith, hatred, love, passion, whatever it is, there is strength in them.

Strength that keep them surviving.

And Raymond has that.

That kind of grit and determination. He is different than Death Monarch.

Death Monarch has that kind of broody, gloomy aura around him, a wall so tall around his heart that not many people could see his true face

A man who wears a mask every day, a heart that is unfathomed, an aura of deterrence. He also has his grit and determination but his grit, his determination is different, a cold way

of looking at the world, a realistic way of looking at the world, looking at the worst and

preparing for the worst

Raymond is different.

He is like the warm sun.

His heart is open, and he believes in those good things

Honour, courage, virtuous act and deeds, these things. Before the Fall, these things is already

forgotten

In the past he found it in anime, in books, in manga, in those things.

Raymond goes to Comic Con every year. A fan of Naruto, One Piece and all those great

manga's and stories.

He wanted those people, those worlds and he goes to Comic Con top pretend for one day, that there is heroes and there is villains and heroes would always win, good would triumph evil

Ae those things real? Honour, courage, virtue......love....true love.....is all that real? Or not?

The Fall came and Raymond decided that even if its not true, it does not matter

He would believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in, worth

fighting for.

Azief is a dark winter and he is the warm sun.

And today....today he shines like never before!

...

He is on the landmass, the dark sky overhead, thunder roaring, lightning flashing, wind

howling, waves billowing.

The Heaven and Earth seems to be at war with each other and Raymond eyes shines with this

kind of confidence. "Heaven and Earth will fight today. And today, Earth will win!" he shouted.

He stomp the trident to his side, making it stands on its own. The power of the trident cause

the wind that wanted to attack him dissolve before it actually reaches him.

It causes the waves to calm when it comes near that landmass.

There is an aura coming from the trident, an aura that is different from the energy of this

world. An aura of a god

An aura....of an old god. Ancient, mysterious and all powerful
