Chapter 1778: The West

Chapter 1778: The West

?

The Hall of Freya is surrounded by by clouds, winds that cut the skin, a place for gods and deities

Outside, there is a pool that is unfrozen by the cold, bringing strength to those who drinks for it.

Freya in the twenty years since the Split of the world has reached the critical stage to enter Divine Comprehension realm.

That one chance. Once she grasp that one chance, she could reach it.

It is quite amazing that she among the three military generals of pandemonium would be the one closest to breaking through.

Fighting all over the world, she accumulates not only fighting experiences but also sees her own Grand Path

Freya in another timeline never reached her potential. In this timeline however, Freya is walking step by step, seeing finally a glimpse of her own true grand path.

Of course, the only one who knows that Freya is now blooming beautifully compared to the other pas, is only those that came from the other timeline.

To others, Freya have always been a promising talent.

Wang Jian has many problems and his responsible attitude and demeanors sometimes restrict him from doing things.

It is ironic, that the reason he is strong is because of his loyalty and his steadfastness. But the reason he is unable to see his grand path is also because of this obsessiveness Freya on the other hand, has twenty years of experiencing all kinds of things.

She experiences battle but she also experiences human life in these past twenty years.

She sees things, experiences all kind of experience and understand some things she did not understand before.

And slowly she reach the point where she could see her own grand path.

Understand yourself and you would understand your own path.

And this is the secret to realizing your own grand path

But even if you say it, it would not matter. Instead, sometimes by saying it, you make people more confused. And this is why the path to Grand Path could only be realized by oneself and could not rely on external things.

All of those realms before Transcendence is just building a foundation. A foundation to create the house.

The foundation itself should not be the goal. The house is the objective

And that is the case for Freya.

She had realized what others like Death Monarch, Hikigaya, Oreki and Raymond had realized.

she is only that one step away from reaching the same level as one of those exalted beings. As long as she reached Divine Comprehension realm, at least, with Raymond, Hikigaya and Oreki, they are equals

There is a lot of things she thinks about as she sits on her throne. Alone on top of her throne she sighed

It is a throne unlike any other. An old wanderer gifted her this throne. The old man said that she reminds him of someone.

Whoever that old man was Freya believe that he must be a reclusive expert. The throne itself is made of some kind of tree.

Freya did not know what kind of tree it is but the mystical power emanating out of it is unmistakable.

Which means the tree from which this throne was made must be an extraordinary tree.

There is deep reserve of energy inside the throne chair itself.

It is like a throne made of living wood. Branches, roots and bark seamlessly integrated into the design.

The throne exudes an organic, almost otherworldly aura.

And the throne is etched with all kinds of runes

Sacred symbols. And at times, when she feel disturbed, she would sit on this throne and the runes would glow faintly and her worries lessened a bit.

There is some leaves, vines and flowers on the throne chair itself. Sometimes it grows and sometimes it falls to the ground

Like symbolizing the seasons. The throne itself is imposing and regal, with a high back and broad armrest.

The design of the throne is intricate, with intertwining branches and

And at times, there would be soft, ethereal light that emanate from the throne.

Freya could not research the throne that much but from what she felt, she believes there is a kind of divine energy and life force flowing through the throne seat

She sit at her throne.

And she looks at the hall.

There is golden roofs and the walls are made of shining spears and shield.

Usually there would be many of her berserkers in here. But Freya wanted to think alone. And her warriors knows this so they did not disturb her.

She closes her eyes and sighed

"Things have gotten too far. Sometimes, when things have gotten this far, a plan which has choices now has only ultimatums. Wang Jian needs to show his attitude, or Sasha would be forced to make some unpleasant decision"

Freya has always felt that this matter would not be easily solved.

That is why she met with him.

She never thought that it would become this big. And now that it did.... she felt partly guilty.

But she already boarded the boat. She wanted to obey the Central Court but doing so would make her an outsider in the military faction.

Not to mention Athena also supported Wang Jian.

This matter is already out of her hands. Sometimes, there are things you want to do but could

not because of the position you are sitting in.

She is part of the military faction and what the military decided; she has to obey.

After all, she still has to live in this place.

And she is part of Pandemonium. She herself has regarded Pandemonium as her home.

She herself does not know what the right answer is. Wang Jian looks like a gentle person but Freya has spent time with that man.

She knows a stubborn person

If the one that is spooking is Death Monarch, then Wang Jian would even gave his life to show

his loyalty

"He is obsessed with the title of loyalty and righteousness"

It is fine to loyal. It is good to be righteous. But everything when brought to the extreme

would provide harm

She is thinking on how to solve this matter.

The more she thinks, the messier her thoughts became. There is too many things connected

with this matter.

This is not simply because of Wang Jian action but also because there is many discordant

voices inside the government.

Sasha has been holding the court for twenty years.

Death Monarch is rarely seen.

Rumors are abound.

The people hearts are uncertain.

The common people are not like them that knows some of the inside information. Y

es, the intention was good.

But it has been too long.

Sooner or later, Sasha should tell the world.

Looking at the world, even if that secret is revealed right now, the other world power would

not make trouble. The secrecy was necessary during those early years because stability in the

world was at the risk of breaking if anything big were to happen.

This is clearly not the case now.

Maybe, she thinks it too simply. But Freya thinks the problems of the world happens because those people overthinks too much. And they were defeated with their own cleverness.

Sometimes the simpler the solution, the more effective it is.

"But my position determines my actions" she mutters again.

"Loki at least would know how to balance these forces. Sasha is a good blade in the lord hand.

But asking this blade to govern the world for this long is not good. Because she is a blade. And a blade could only cut. And that is the solution that she could think of. It is a pity she is not my lord. Even if she cuts, the deterrent effect could not be established"

"After all, she is not the strongest person in the world"

Even with the effect of the throne her thoughts did not unravel.

But she does have a clue where to start.

She waves her hand and a parchment appears in front of her.

Then wisp of light gathers to become a quill pen.

The quill pen moves and writes something on the parchment and after finishing it, the quill

pen dissipated into tiny wisp of light and the parchment rolled itself and floated toward

Freya. Freya toss it out, the wind pushes the windows to opens and the parchment turns into a light streak that goes toward the west

"I hope Athena could see reason" she mutters to herself

Then she got up from her throne and then half an hour later, she goes to the barrack, calls her

army and ten thousand strong soldiers rides crimson Pegasus toward the central region.

The entire Pandemonium shakes when hearing that Freya brought out her Flying Berserk Cavalry unit toward the Central region

There is no edict from the Central court for her to come to the capital. Coming toward the capital, is Freya trying to rebel?

No explanation, no news, suddenly moving the army?

At the same time on the South, Wang Jian also mobilize his men.

Three Battlestar moves toward the Capital. The North and the South moves.

Now one look at the West and East.

And who is in the west?

In the Western region, is the Archon of the West, Lady Athena, the Great General of the West

who led Myrmidon Army
