Chapter 1780: Fear of A Vacuum

Chapter 1780: Fear of A Vacuum

?

Athena is alone inside the palace and she shakes her head

"If Death Monarch is here, how could it reach to this point. Twenty year is too long"

Saying this she could not help but sighed

"At least if he left his avatar here then people could be convinced. But a clone? People hearts are unpredictable"

This is the truth of the world she had learned.

"Wang Jian and Sasha both of them do not trust each other. It is good for Death Monarch if they did not trust reach other. It would be a check and balance. But when you are not there to referee the matter, then these two children of yours is going to fight and without you presiding it, things might go out of control"

Unlike Wang Jian, Athena is not overly in awe with Death Monarch.

Of course, she fears him very much.

But not in a dreadful way. She fears him like a person would fear a lion that is unleashed and sitting and staring at you, knowing at any moment that the lion could eat you for lunch.

The relationship between Athena and Death Monarch is like a boss and a subordinate without much loyalty.

It is different for Wang Jian, Sina, Loki, Will, Sasha and those inner circles of Death Monarch. Of course, she would never disrespect Death Monarch whether in private or in public but when she is alone with herself, she even scolded Death Monarch because of some of his decision.

Wang Jian would never think to blame Death Monarch. He is too loyal to blame his lord.

Athena is not worried that Pandemonium would rumble or disintegrate. That would not happen even if there is a civil war between the region and the central court

Because the source of power of Pandemonium is never the soldiers, the army or the people of Pandemonium.

This has always been what differs Pandemonium and the other world powers

The other leaders of the world created the army to protect the regions they conquered or the regions they controlled

They created warrior units to protect their leaders.

To protect their force.

But Pandemonium has always been on the receiving end of Death Monarch grace.

This made them the safest when dealing with other foreign powers but it also instill this sense of gratitude and guilt from the people to Death Monarch

Hence, why most people of Pandemonium is quite loyal to Death Monarch. Because to them, Death Monarch is like an umbrella that protected them.

The name itself could deter the world and make the people of Pandemonium able to held their head up high when they go outside of Pandemonium.

If Death Monarch is here, then everything would be easy, this is Athena true thought

But he is not here and his two children are fighting against each other.

And the whole world is in chaos because of this. An absence of one man affects the world. This is probably the only case in history.

She could only sighed

.....

When the news of the Southern Kinga and the Northern Queen sending their army to the capital it already shook Pandemonium.

Then the Western Archon also send her army. Three directions of Pandemonium send their army

This basically grip the entire Pandemonium into a time of chaos.

The world outside of Pandemonium did not know the matter clearly

But to them, this is a rebellion. And everywhere around the world more and more sensationalized news come out. The world situation suddenly become uncertain.

Lotus Order could crumble and fall and it is nothing but a continental matter and did not affect the world that much.

The African Alliance could disintegrate into ashes and it would still be just an isolated incident of the African continent.

But Pandemonium crumbling?

That would be the destruction of the world order.

The disintegration of such a great power would bring a titanic earthquake to the geopolitical scene of the world.

Suddenly World Government, the Republic, and the other four world powers all send scouts to inquire about the matter.

Is the four region of Pandemonium rebels against Death Monarch?

Was the news and rumors true that Death Monarch in Pandemonium palace is an imposter? If he is not, how could Death Monarch not make any moves?

If this is true where is Death Monarch?

Will Raymond, Hikigaya and Oreki not make a move? There is all kinds of question and rumors flying around all over the world, adding to the chaos even more

At the same time this was happening, the news also reached the ears of Hikigaya, Oreki and

Raymond.

Hikigaya and Oreki is the two saints of the Japanese Empire. A large continental island near the Free Continent.

Its size is ten thousand-fold the size of Japan with taller mountains, and huge and tall waterfalls, cloud filled continent, protected by all kinds of illusionary hexes and symbols so that even people could not know whether the appearance of Japan is the real one or not.

The Emperor of Japan send a message asking for an advice whether to send an envoy and help the central court.

Basically, the Emperor of Japan wanted to ask whether they should intervene in this matter and keep the peace of Pandemonium

This question alone has shown that the Emperor of Japan probably believe the rumors flying outside that the Death Monarch in Pandemonium is fake.

However, it is precisely because it is true that the emperor wanted to protect Pandemonium.

The reason for intervening in Pandemonium matter is not because of malicious intention but because of kind intention

The world order established by Death Monarch created order in the world. If that order is turn upside down, the vacuum of power left by such crumble of world order would create more

chaos.

And it is not an event that any world leaders wanted to see

Hikigaya and Oreki simply said, do not make a move.

Raymond is also inquired by Hirate and he also simply said, words of support could be sent,

sending scouts could be done, but do not take any action.

As for the Republic, Katarina send a sword.

The sword when it arrived in the Senate melted into water, the water dissipates into hot air and the words that appears simply order the Senate not to take any action.

It is clear that these people seem to know something that the rest of the world did not.

The other four world powers after hearing this is also hesitating to do something.

Is this the method that then two great world powers uses to increase the prestige of Pandemonium so that the rest of the world would not take action?

Or is there really a reason why they could not take actions?

Some people look at Greece and Greece has the Oracle.

The Oracle actions is also the same. She only end envoys to Pandemonium to advise not to

make any regrettable actions but she herself did not show any signs of wanting to make any

further action.

Some world powers did not understand why these people did not do anything.

The world powers does want to replace Pandemonium.

But they did not want Pandemonium to die like this. So, they should at least protect

Pandemonium right now.

Support the Central Court, persuade Wang Jian to retreat and let both sides make concessions.

Why would they do such thing?

Because if such a huge power disappears, it would create a vacuum. And vacuum needed to be

filled

This would surely be a sign of troubled times

And this battle would be even more intense than any war before. Because the world has

twenty years to recuperate, the longest period of peace in the world since the Fall begins.

And in these twenty years, every great power has accumulated population, powerful levelers and powerful weapons.

If they unleashed it now, the amount of damage that they could inflict to the world will

exceed the last time the war was waged between these world powers

Many more people would also die.

And no one in their right mind wanted to see the world burns.

So, some world powers could not help but also wanting to send their army to help the central

-court.

To the rest of the world, the orthodox side in this matter is the Central Court.

At the same time, these powers also wanted to confirm whether the Death Monarch in the

throne right now is really an imposter.

If he really is an imposter, then a more terrifying question would be..... where is Death

Monarch?

The whole world has its problem.

But the sudden dispute between Wang Jian and Sasha now spreads to the battle between

factions of the civil and military faction of the court.

The civil minister stand on the side of the Central Court and the military faction is on the side

of the three great generals of Pandemonium.

Athena could only follow the flow and adjust according to the situation. The world had to look

on and pray that this would not lead to the worst scenario

At the same time this was happening, the East also make some move.

Who is the ruler of the East?
