Chapter 1706: Returning

Chapter 1706: Returning

?

To be Immortal is to make worlds and destroy worlds.

To change laws of time and space.

To wield this power freely.

Azief did not elaborate this matter to Katarina.

He just paused for a second.

Thinking about saying all of this, but shaking his head, not wanting to share this particular thought of his

So, he said something else

"And in the long road of time ahead of us, we could meet again with different feelings.

But if he keeps doing this, I..." Azief sighed. He did not finish his words, but Katarina could guess how that sentence would end.

Boris actions could affect many things.

And his influence is still there.

If Boris is intending to coup over the current Senate, then Jean would enter the game.

And if Jean enters, the only other power that would support Boris, and could contain Jean is Death Monarch. Not even Katarina could withstand it if Jean is really serious.

Then if Azief enters the game and restrain Jean, there is a high possibility that a war would erupt between pandemonium and the Republic.

And that is not something that Azief wanted and not something that Jean wanted

It is also not something the world wanted to see.

A war that big would create many casualties and the small peace that they just managed to secure would go up in the flames.

No one would benefit from this war. The aftermath is not going to be pretty at all.

Katarina understood this. But just like her, her brother is as stubborn as him.

For a moment there is silence between them. And then she said

"I'll talk to him"

Azief was about to say something more but he could only shakes his head.

Then he went out of the bedroom and when he arrives at the staircase he jump from the spires of staircase and floated down gently

He open the entrance door and when the door is opened, the first thing he could feel is the cold.

The wind blows inside, bringing with it the cold air of Moscow. And then the snow fills the entrance.

He walk closer to the entrance and he could see Sasha, Wang Jian, Athena, Freya and Jean, waiting in front of the door, standing there like some kind of a stone sentinel

He expected Sasha, Wang Jian, Athena and Freya. And even though he saw Jean in his Divine Sense when he was inspecting Moscow, he did not know that Jean was so eager to meet him that he would wait for him.

Azief take a glance at the other four but he stares at Jean. His gaze is easy to understand. Why are you here?

They look at each other, both of their gazes seem to be asking some question. Jean chuckles and then he said

"It seems we runs into a delay" Azief understood what Jean mean with only this hint.

Azief remembered what he had said before to Jean, Hikigaya and Raymond. Yes, Jean was not wrong at all

They are really on a delay.

"I'm the one that wanted to settle this as fast as possible. But I am the cause of delay. I understand then Jean frustration"

Jean might be smiling and he might seem amiable, but Azief must have sensed that frustration.

The idea itself was good and the plan could only be completed by Azief taking part and that is why Jean is also very polite.

If not, how could he smile like this?

Azief only chuckles at this.

"Call them all to Pandemonium next week. You call Hikigaya and Raymond. I would send my invitation to Sangmin and the Magical Formation Association" Jean nodded but he did not go away

Instead, he looks at the sky and he frowned. Azief also look at the sky and he sighed.

The snow suddenly pick up speed.

The wind becomes colder and Azief look back and saw Katarina on the staircase, looking at him

She is moody and she affects the weather around these hills. Azief could only sigh at this.

He understand. But for now, he just have to feign not to understand. He turns back to look at the people in front of him

His gaze rested in Sasha. He nodded and he smiles a bit. Then shaking his head, he said

"There was no need for you to come"

"Pandemonium is...." She was about to say unstable but then she remembers that Jean is still here and she changes her words

"a bit of a mess" Azief only smiles at this. Sasha then added

"Requesting my lord to return home"

"I know, I know. You go back first. I'll return this time" Sasha nodded and she no longer insisted. She makes a gesture to the other three, and they all bows their head slightly and then quickly flies back toward Pandemonium.

Does the other three did not have anything to say?

They did.

But they know that sometimes blurting out things from your mouth also pays attention to the time, place and occasion.

And now, with the sudden accelerating snow, the Ice Queen on the staircase looking at them with a sharp glare, Jean the Time Master around them, they know that this is not the time, place and occasion to say the words that they wanted to say

So, when Sasha gesture them to bow and retreat, they retreated without saying a word, flying

out of Moscow as fast as possible.

Now, the only people on the hills is him and Jean

"You must have something to say if you come here?" Jean nodded.

He was never the kind of person that likes to delay things. So, his approach is quite

straightforward

"What about Boris?" the question Jean ask is simple and direct. And Azief sighed

Then he tells Jean his answer, Jean smiles

He got the answer he came from

"Thank you"

Azief shakes his head and sigh

"I am tired of war. Of battle. Of meaning war and of meaningless battle. The world deserve to

take a break from our selfishness"

Jean nodded

"I agree" he paused for a second and then after not having anything else to speak about he

simply said

"I'll take my leave. I'll call the others to Pandemonium. I just hope you don't disappear again" he said with a chuckle. Azief did not smile but there is a faint hint of a smile on the

corner of his mouth.

Jean saw this but he pretended not to see it and then taking a step backward, he dissipated into a particle like existence.

Azief saw this and could not help but feel that Jena is someone to be admired.

"That is time particles and time laws crafted to create a time avatar" Azief then look toward

the Room of Clock in the distance. Then he shakes his head

"Is the one in the Room of Clock is even the real Jean?" he thought to himself

Azief then look back and see Katarina.

She did not say anything. She just look at him

"I'm going back" Katarina sighed and nodded.

Azief look toward the front, look toward the left and his gaze passes through mountain and

hills, rivers and seas and his eyes could see Pandemonium.

It is like the world is shrinked and Azief could see evert nook and cranny of the world. Just like how he brought Katarina from a faraway mountain peak back to Moscow, he also uses the same trick to return back home

Sasha, Wang Jian, Athena and Freya is still flying in the air, heading toward Pandemonium

Azief on the other hand takes a step. The space shakes and time seems to be pulled back by an invisible force and he disappear almost instantly from the Republic.

Katarina could see the crack in space in front of the entrance door of her palace.

She sighed.

And she just stands there looking at that crack of space for some time before she returns back

to her room.

The Ice Palace entrance door closed and the snow falls down even harder.

The Senate could not see things clearly but seeing that the door of the Ice Palace is now

closed, seeing that the four people of Pandemonium is no longer, there, seeing their Left Chancellors no longer there, they all agree that things are over. Only then could they breathe a

little bit easily.

The spies in the Republic is also looking at this matter intently.

The moment that those four people from Pandemonium appears in the Republic, these spies already sent the report to their employers.

And when some of them saw Death Monarch, they know that they got something big. Azief did notice all of these spies when he scan the entire European continent with his Divine Sense.

So, he surely knows those spies hiding in the dark, taking pictures and videos of him, coming

out from the entrance door of the Ice Palace

But he let them go.

The reason is simple. Because he is too tired to announce his return. At least these spies

would

And just as expected, after a few hours of that meeting in Moscow, the news reached all the

world powers.

Raymond was summoned to the Quorum, Hikigaya and Oreki flies out of Japan, the other world powers suddenly cooled down their hostilities that was just about to erupt. The news of the return of Death Monarch to Pandemonium spread all over the world.

The world is right now divided, each continent is now separated by tall mountains with its own energy making it harder for people to traverse

And even if you could pass the mountain of the vast seas, the distance between each continent

has now reached massive level

If you are just walking, it would take you even hundreds of years to go from one continent to

the other. Even flying would not do much to bridge and shrink this distance

The world right now has never been more disconnected from each other.

The only beings that could easily traverse through all of the original seven continent is people

who are on the level of Disk Formation.

And most settlements are concentrated in places where the world powers make their base. Boundless land, low population, it is like the humans are starting again in this world

There is many resources and a lot of dangers. There is a whole world to be explored, a whole

world to travel

A new world and a new era.

But it is also a chaotic world and a chaotic era. Death Monarch return usually would be taken

seriously by all the world powers.

But never like this before. Because Death Monarch plans is to change this era, to change this

world

Ten Realm. Ten continent, a vast sea surrounding these ten continent

This is the project that Death Monarch wanted to do. Hence, the world power would not miss

every single of his action.

Now that Death Monarch has return, the world suddenly once again return to their previous

calm, like all the chaos before did not happen

And now, like always, the world has to wait.
