Chapter 1771: Twenty Years is Enough

?

Each hardship is just another quest so that he could become stronger.

People he met would help him and when there is a danger, the danger merely serves as a slight foil so that he could discover something and become even stronger.

That is the kind of luck that is on Death Monarch.

The circumstances and the environment around him makes him able to become the strongest person in the world.

And maybe one of the best thing he did was that he is not tied to any power in the beginning.

There was also many promising talent in the African Alliance during the initial year of the Fall.

But what happens to them?

They were forced to die.

Because nobody wanted anybody to unify the African Alliance. And so, they killed their own talent.

Now, that the world has divided, the land was divided into fifty-five states.

All of these states are actually nations in the African Continent before.

Any person with great power could apply to the African Alliance leadership to establish a state.

Now, there is a political war between the four factions to determine the fate of the African Alliance.

This conflict that started early after the world was split into ten realm has been going on for twenty years.

Now, only two factions is left.

It would not be long before this matter of the African Alliance would be solved.

And then there is Pandemonium.

This is the land of the brave, the land of the powerful. Some people thought that the name of pandemonium comes because of the meaning of Wild Uproar.

The people of Pandemonium is quite wild and quite boisterous. Everything is done in big

manner.

All of them have this warrior like mentality.

Eager to fight for any slight but at the same time because of how the laws gives lenient measures to those who fight for justice, it also cultivated this righteous warrior mentality among the people making the people of pandemonium look like knight errant of old.

There is always an uproar.

There is romanticism in Pandemonium that is not quite present in other world powers. But the name Pandemonium was not actually derived from the meaning of wild uproar. Before pandemonium become pandemonium it is actually a place full of monsters and beast.

Death Monarch wipes out all of this monsters and beast.

Then he establish his place here.

His idea was also quite simple at that time.

It is a place for him to train and it is a place that he could claim as his own. Even at that time, even when he thinks to create a force, he just wanted to create a small force that would help him to gain information to defend against his enemies

He probably never thought that thew place would become nations and states. Pandemonium that Death Monarch was thinking about come from the words of Milton

The Place of All Demons. And in a way, the word is quite apt.

The people of Pandemonium are mostly are all wild and unruly warriors. When they fight they were like demons.

Strength rules everything in Pandemonium.

These people are all little demons and the one sitting on that throne of pandemonium is the big demon that could control all of these small little demons from acting out.

Twenty years has passed and new generation has been born and unlike the older generation who is slightly bit calmer, these new generation has always lived in a world where Pandemonium is the strongest world power in the world

So, they have this kind of pride etched into their bone, valiant and heroic shaped by the culture and the environment they lived in

But there is something weird in pandemonium. And more people of the world has slowly noticed it.

There were some rumours that has been spreading.

Is Sasha usurping the throne?

That is the rumour. But that rumours only breeds more questions

Why would such rumours would spread

After all Death Monarch is there.

This is the crux of the matter.

If Death Monarch is there, how could Sasha would have the guts to usurp the throne? Not to mention, that even if the throne is to be given to someone else it would not be Sasha place to take it.

She could be regent but she would not be entrusted to rule Pandemonium.

There is still Sina, Wang Jian, and a few other loyalist in Death Monarch camp that he could

choose from.

Why would such rumours spread out?

Because many people have begun doubting whether the Death Monarch in the Centre Palace is really Death Monarch.

At first many people treat this as nonsense.

After all, there was that one time when Death Monarch did come out from the Centre Palace and solve a monster infestation

But when more and more rumours spreads there seems to be many more fact supporting this statement.

If he is really Death Monarch, how could Katarina not once visited Death Monarch. Twenty years. Katarina is also not in trouble and her whereabouts is not exactly a secret.

Everyone knows how much Katarina loves Death Monarch

And from what everyone knows, they did not break up.

Why would this Death Monarch rarely even goes to Sina abode?

And why does Sina, one of Death Monarch most trusted friend would not go to the Palace to even greet Death Monarch?

Why does Will the Speedster not once in the past twenty years goes to Pandemonium and instead is zipping all over the world, not once visiting his sworn brother?

Why does Death Monarch never say anything and all government administration is sent to Sasha?

And so, some people began to believe this rumour. Is the Death Monarch in the Centre Palace really is Death Monarch?

Or is he a substitute?

Once people thought veered to this line of questioning, they began feeling that the rumours

has some truth to it.

But even so, people does not believe that Sasha wanted to usurp the throne.

Even if she tries, so many people would stop her.

And to those who knows Sasha knows that she did not have such high ambition.

She is like a secretary to Death Monarch, a dak blade that he used to intimidate those that

have evil intentions towards him.

Most people think that if the Death Monarch in Pandemonium is a fake, then the reason must

be for the stability of the world.

Or maybe the stability of Pandemonium itself.

If that is the case, then that would explain why people like Raymond, Hikigaya and Oreki defended Sasha and confirm that Death Monarch is really Death Monarch

That was the reasons why people believe even more that Death Monarch in the Centre Palace

is not really the real Death Monarch.

If he is Death Monarch, he would not even need to make such announcement and he needs only to show his power and the whole world would be convinced. Why would it be Raymond

and Japan place to confirm the identity of Death Monarch?

This make everything even more murky.

Pandemonium however did not fall into chaos.

Pandemonium itself is large.

And most state in Pandemonium is quite independent from the central government. But these

states still consider themselves under Pandemonium

Envoys was sent and three hundred envoys arrives in Centre Palace.

Three hundred states in Pandemonium sent their envoys to meet Death Monarch to give

tribute and to ask question.

The fact that they all could reach there and waited in the castles around the Center Palace make the rumours become even more believable.

Everyone knows Death Monarch temper. If three hundred people suddenly come and try to

make such noise, they would be lucky if they were not pulverized.

But nothing happened.

And these envoys began caucusing of Sasha of usurping the throne, of putting impostor onto

the throne, commanding the Emperor to command the princes and so many accusations and

slander fly toward Sasha

Sina then come forward and become a mediator.

But this did not dispel the rumours.

Twenty years passes in relative peace.

And there is changes everywhere and nowhere else changes is more apparent than the world

powers.

While there is some wars here and there, there was no major war.

People could recuperate and populations of the world rises again.

With so much more land, every world power is very much encouraging the people to

reproduce.

But the people in the world find out even if they want to reproduce it is not easy.

Some people find it hard to reproduce. And the Order of Thinkers also research this

phenomenon.

It seems the stronger the person is, the harder it is for it to conceive. This ah something to do

with the energy of the world.

But even so, the cause of this is still something of a mystery.

There is many new conflict, new alliances, new feuds in the past twenty years.

And in the past twenty years with all of these conflict accumulating, it seems something is

going to explode.

Twenty years of peace....would there be a new battle in the horizon?

Inside their temples the Oracles and Seers foresaw a disaster.

In the palaces of the powerful, they fight for their position, Warlords fight for their interest

and gods looks at the mortal world with indifference.

Accumulated resentment, accumulated problem, sooner or later, this problem would

explode. And twenty years is enough

It would explode!
