Chapter 1667: Changes in the Clouds

?

When he is wounded in Divine Comprehension, his energy leaks and when an injury goes deep, it touches the soul

Now, he has a form.

A body. It limited him.

But it also protects him in a way. It gave him the first barrier

The pain would not directly reach the soul.

There is the body first.

You had to break down the physique that he has first before you could attack the soul.

This is the difference between the body of an Energy Disperse Stage realm and the body that Azief had crafted again.

In the body of the Energy Disperse stage realm, you possess great physical prowess but vulnerable to soul attack.

Even Azief when he has the perfect physique in Energy Disperse Stage and could fight a whole realm above him, he is still vulnerable to soul attack.

Even if his body would not rot or destroyed by normal means, if someone is adept at manipulating the soul, he could not defend himself

It took the weakness of the Divine Comprehension realm and perfected it.

The body itself has laws and concepts of the world.

So, if one wanted to attack the soul, you have to break the gate toward the soul first and that gate is none other than the body.

So, even though Azief is in pain, he did not think it is bad.

He believe that if h did not create such a body, these thunders that attack him would attack his soul.

And that kind of death is not something he wanted to experience.

A thunder domain around him continues to assault him. But Azief is accepting all of this. Every pain, every attack, he savours it, his energy rising by the moment.

Azief then sit cross legged in space

The injuries around his body become worse,. There is more scratches, there is more wounds, there is more and more bruises.

Ignoring all that, Azief sits cross legged in the dark space, closing his eyes and he sat there like he is meditating in his own room

Not passing a tribulation but experiencing a baptism of thunder. That is what it would look like to the eyes of the observer.

And that is what Jean, Hikigaya and Raymond thought

They would not be that relaxed if it were them that is in Death Monarch position

The more thunder, the more punishment, the stronger Azief seems to become. Damn the wounds, damn the injuries.

None of it seems to delay him, stops him or make him weak.

Taking it in stride, he accepted the pain.

"he becomes stronger again" Hikigaya thought.

Jean said wistfully "Will he found a new method? Will he be able to help Paulette?" this is his thought

And when Raymond look at this, he could not help but sighed and said

"It is still his era"

The thunder of tribulation is unceasing, not stopping but nothing seems to be able to bring down this mortal.

The clouds of tribulation is also aware of this.

More and more clouds forms.

And merge.

Gathering around, merging with each other, the clouds become denser.

The face that is looking at Azief also sems to be frowning even more, emanating more and more destructive aura.

There is this dark black aura that began to ooze out from that face.

The breath from the nose and mouth of this face began producing mist of black.

This mist of black then mixed with the clouds of tribulations.

And the moment it mixed, all of those colourful thunder bolts stopped attacking. And the space once again is quite.

The rift space quickly tries to heal itself; the passage of time seems to synchronize back with this universe.

In a moment, in a few second, all of it returns to nothingness. It returns to the silence. It returns to the darkness. Like nothing ever happened. But something did happen. The face is no longer there. But there is a dark cloud mist that appears where the face uses to be.

Azief opens his eyes. He no longer sit in that cross legged position, once again floating, standing in the darkness of space.

He looks at the dark clouds of mist. It is hard to see amidst the darkness that is everywhere around him. But his eyes is not a mortal eye.

He could see

And he frowns when he sees it

"What does it try to do?" Azief does feel like trying to grab the dark cloud mist but the moment when he tries to, he feel this warning signs in his soul. This vibration of the soul is not something he would ignore.

"Did the tribulation ended?" Hikigaya mutters. Raymond even though he is far away could hear what Hikigaya is saying but he did not know what to say.

He also did not understand what is just happening. The thunder suddenly disappear. But there

is still the tribulation clouds

Jean remains silent, but his eyes is looking intently at the tribulation clouds. Eerily enough, none of them could see the dark mist.

Only Azief could see those dark clouds mist.

Those dark clouds mist is formed from the titanic face.

And he is seeing that the dark mist drifted toward the tribulation clouds and Azief frowns

become even deeper.

"What the hell?"

The tribulation clouds is actually purple mixed with goldens colour.

But the moment the dark mist burrows itself into the tribulation clouds, not only the colour

of that clouds changes, the destructive aura it emanated seems to shot up

First, it shot up twofold.

Then tenfold.

Twenty-fold.

In just a few second, the destructive aura rises so fast

It should not be like that

Azief estimated that it rises based on the pressure it gave off.

Azief look around him and his frown become deeper. Because now, the destructive aura that

once is spread out is now converging

Converging toward the tribulation clouds.

On Earth, all living being notices it. Notices that the pressure that over their head suddenly disappeared. Some people plucked up their courage and look up.

And they heaved a sigh of relief. There is no longer that titanic face. And the oppressive aura that bears down on them before had also disappeared.

The world powers all scramble into motion, trying to find out what had happened. What is the aftermath? Is there more to come?

Hikigaya, Jean and Raymond who is watching this from the front row seat, did not share the excitement of the people on the Earth. Instead, they look.....fearful

"This...is very similar to back then" Raymond mutters and Hikigaya and Jean who is in the

distance nodded.

They see with their own eyes, that the large clouds now become smaller. And it happens in only an instant.. It was like most of the clouds blew up all of a sudden.

The cloud become smaller but the destructive aura shot up.

"It is condensing. Focusing" This is Jean thought.

The clouds before spread out its destructive aura.

It affects the planets and the galaxy itself.

But now, it almost like it absorbed back all of those destructive energy back into the clouds

and limit the radius of influence of the cloud.

Focusing only on one person.

Not the world.

Not the planets.

Not this galaxy. Only one person.

As long as they could annihilate this one person, everything is worth it

The clouds is very small. Compared to before where it covers the entire earth skies, this patch

of clouds is very small. It just one patch of clouds hovering above Death Monarch head.

But Hikigaya, Jean, and Raymond look at that cloud like they are facing their biggest

enemies.

The clouds now looks ordinary, but the destructive power is so condensed that it if is allowed

to touch down any one of the planets, it would destroy it and that destructive aura would

create a rippling action all across this galaxy.

This is only their estimation but they did not think that their estimation is wrong.

"I could feel the end of life and boundless death emanating from that cloud" Hikigaya

mutters to himself.

Just by looking at that cloud, he felt the same thing when he look death in the eyes. This is the

end of life and this is where boundless death originates, this is where living things turns to nothing, where souls come to be destroyed.

Limitless vital force of destruction is now hovering around the planet Mars. It did not spread

outward.

Jean waves his hand and he frowns.

"the death energy is leaving Earth" Hikigaya look toward the Moon and shakes his head

"It is also leaving the Moon"

All around them, they could feel that death energy ids decreasing and in just a few second all

of those deathly energy, that menacing intent, that destructive aura all disappears from

Earth. From the other planets.

From Jupiter, Saturn, Venus. Hikigaya could sense it. And then he frows. As he could feel that

the clouds above Death Monarch head shrinks even more.

Even though he could not feel it, Hikigaya is quite sure that all of those deathly energy is now

converging on that small patch of cloud

"A great tribulation never seen before" Hikigaya could only sight at this, jean closes his eyes

and Raymond look solemnly toward the distance

All three of them agree at the same time, even without saying anything, that this is

dangerous.

"he should move away. The planet nearby would not be able to withstand it. If it happens.....then this galaxy would need a major reconstruction after this" Raymond could not help but already see the outcome even before the thunder appears.

Jean simply said

"Earth would not be destroyed. As long as the three of us stands here" Hikigaya did not say

anything but from the clouds that began to appears around him, it is clear that he is ready to

tackle whatever comes their way.

BOOOM!

The thunder roars again and the entire galaxy seems to shake
