Lord Shadow

Chapter 398: Waiting for someone (3)

Even the All Source seems to vanish as it turns into a revolving Disk that flies over to the merging fusion of energies.

The All Source Disk is the largest Disk and the core center that supported all of his Disk. It enables him to convert the energy of the world into other energy.

It is like a synthesizers of sorts.

In His Inner Universe the All Source Disk is situated on the center of his Universe. It is titanic in size but when it was formed All Source energies embedded itself into every single creation in his Universe.

But now, that form appears again as it turns back into a large Disk that envelop the other energies causing them to stabilized and not breaking apart.

Planets that is orbiting around the sun slowly break off and exploded in a large explosion that splintered of to create space debris.

He then saw souls, orb of light that flows endlessly from those destroyed planets. It seems without Azief knowledge; life was formed inside his Inner Universe.

Thinking about it, he had a lot of energy that could support life in his Inner Universe

It is probably not a thinking intelligent life but it is still life and its soul seems to join another Disks that look ethereal and translucent.

All those white orb, tiny as a speck of dust revolve around this high velocity Disk that is travelling through Azief Inner Universe to join the other nine energies that is trying to break through a wall, or a barrier of sorts that separates them and the last energy.

It keeps trying to pierce through that barrier. And each time it tries, the entire Universe seems to shake.

‘Oh’ Azief exclaimed inside his Inner Universe and the entire Inner Universe shakes hearing the voice coming out from its owner and creator.

He did not notice this because his eyes are focused on that Disk as he smiles.

Azief could finally see it.

The Soul Disk. When he formed this Disk, other than the fact he could feel the existence of souls and see souls, he could not see the Disk inside his Inner Universe.

Then he could see some pure white light strayed off from the Soul Disk and instead formed into another Disk with holy aura around it that seems to repel darkness.

Azief nodded as he understands something.

‘Divine Disk’ he muttered internally.

Then finally the last of the twelve energy finally comes out from all of the Universe, energy rising up and as it was formed, a large explosion wiped out all of the planets in Azief Universe.

With a Big Bang a Disk composed of the purest energy of creation and essence of destruction was formed.

It is the Cosmic Disk and the moment it was formed the energy of the All Source Disk forces it to gravitates to it and then merge with all the other energies.

Then once again it smashes to the invisible barrier as the entire Universe seems to crumble and trembling.

It was then than Azief could see the barrier, this invisible wall that separates his other energies and the last energy slowly cracked.

There is only one centimeter crack but Azief could feel a different energy already.

A few essences of the twelve energies enter and was immediately fused inside that wall and when it was produced even when it is a little Azief could feel the energy.

For one moment, he expanded without limits and his body seems to take infinite forms, existing in many timelines and limitless.

For a moment, in him, there is no end, there is no beginning and there is no middle.

For one moment…. everything is Him and he is everything. It was an odd feeling

then he opens his hand wide and all of that destruction and disintegration like a dream just disappeared.

Everything appears as it is before, the entire Universe restored. With the sun on the sky, the stars on the vast space and the vast Universe with planets that have millions of lives.

Everything that happened before seems like it is nothing more than just an illusion

Azief stand on the center of the Universe as he looked somewhere. He looked where the wall is and he smiles with a shines in his eyes.

He was right. For that one moment when the energy nearly fused and enter into the wall, Azief reverses everything back.

If this is in the real world, to do so would be impossible for him. But this is his Inner Universe. He is the lord and Monarch of everything in here.

In here, he controls life and death, he controls the passage of Time whether it moves forward or backwards. He could determine everything here.

He closes his eyes and then opens it back up and he was in that cave once again. He smiles as he notices his entire body is sweating.

Around him the cave wall seems to be crumbling apart.

Azief waved his hand and his energy quickly stabilizes the caves pillars. He could sense those black clothed men that was tasked on protecting this cave from destroying is tired.

Then they could sense that he had finished training and went away. Azief only smiles and shake his head. He overtaxed them too much.

He got up from his stone bed and slowly went outside. He looks around him and couldn’t help but sighed.

‘It is truly tiring for them’ he muttered underneath his whispers.

The forest in front of him that used to be lush and full of life seems to be struck with some kind of catastrophe with some of the tall huge trees seems to be split into two by thunder and lightning while some of the part were burn scorched by fires and harassed by storms.

Leaves and barks of trees filled the chaotic scenery

This must be the effect of him almost reaching the requirement to summon the Supremacy Stairway.

He himself have never seen the Supremacy Stairway. He knows that it is located in an abandoned dimension called the Supreme Dimension

Thirty-three supreme Beings created that Dimension and could not be accessed other than by summoning the Supremacy Stairway.

Of course each planet has different way of cultivating and absorbing energy.

But the Supremacy Stairway will come only to those who reached Perfection. And what is perfection means for the will of Supremacy Stairway?

Not everyone is quite sure but in the terms of cultivation using the Jade Palace System it is to form Thirteen Disk in the Disk Formation stage.

At least that has been established for the Jade Palace cultivation system. In the Jade Empire to even reach thirteen energies is hard

He knows that each thirty-three steps pf the stairway is forged by each one of the Supreme Beings will and determination.

He knows that the cut off line is at every ten steps. But he doesn’t know what will happen when he steps on those steps.

Will it purify his energy further or will it forces him to endure trials in his mind or forces him to endure physical pain for each steps?

He guesses he will know about it when he summons it. For now, there is only speculation filling his mind.

But he still did his research and Will helped him. After all, that teacher of him is quite knowledgeable and relay some message to him through the mouth of Will.

Even now he still could not quite believe what that woman is. An orb of lightning is actually a speedster.

Because she is weak now, she confined herself into a form of lightning. At least that is what Will have told him.

And since he is training at a different dimension when Will is gone, even he using his Divine Sense could not sense him.

She is from the race of the First Speedster that survived the destruction of the Grand Destruction.

The living being of this epoch refers to him as the Great Destroyer but he has many names as he has many forms.

He shakes his head as he tries to clear his mind and focus at his new discovery.

He knows now.

He could attempt to enter Divine Comprehension anytime now. He has waited long enough and he had accumulated enough energy to break through.

Other people would be considered already powerful and an overlord in the world if they could form three Disk.

Even Hikigaya who have formed five Disks is considered by many to be one of the strongest people in the world and one even speculated that he is only below Death Monarch.

But Azief…. he has right now twelve Disks and he could form the Thirteen Disk today. The feeling he felt right now is hard to describe.

There is a sense of accomplishment but also at the same time it increases his resolve to keep going forward.

Hikigaya and Oreki describe Azief as the wall that they need to over but Azief also has his own wall to scale.

Like all the others that rise from the ashes of the destruction that ravaged Earth Azief is standing on top of the peak after overcoming everything that is thrown on his way.

And as he is reaching to another Perfection, he looks up and see that there is still a tall wall he need to climb over. But like Hikigaya said ‘If it is so easy to climb this wall, why would we desire to climb it? If it is that easy, why would we even try to climb it?’

That event is still one of the most memorable battle in recent years.

The whole world watches as Death Monarch Azief, Raymond the Earthshaker, Illusion Archmage Hikigaya, Thunder Monarch Oreki, Ice Queen Katarina and Sofia the Divine Archer united together to fight the Heavens and aid Death Monarch in forming his Disks.

It was like the gathering of the most powerful people in the world.

Some people even said if those people could form a league or something to act as Earth Defenders, then they do not have to worry too much about other intergalactic civilization knocking down on Earth.

But that is just a dream.

Because each of those people all had different aspiration and quirks.

Death Monarch is always a loner and like to do thing by his lonesome, Raymond is too good for his own sake, Hikigaya has his own thoughts and set of values he abides, Oreki likes to do thing on his own pace, Katarina only cares about her people, her brother and Death Monarch, and Divine Archer would only be truly strong if she could master her Bow.

Azief when he heard about it knows that it is highly improbable for something like that to happen again.

They all have their own reason for aiding him last time, like Hikigaya who wanted to pay his debts and Raymond who is looking on the big picture of Earth defenses and decided that if he dies, then Earth will lose one of its most powerful people that could defend it when threats come knocking.

He sighed a bit thinking about that day.

He rarely fights in a team but he understand the appeal. Then he thoughts about other things as he tries to shake his wandering mind

He could have break through to Divine Comprehension when he only had seven Disks and he would still be powerful.

But since he walks the Perfection path from the beginning, he would walk through it until the end.

He looks at the sky above him, blue and limitless.

He smiles.

After defeating the Heavens of this world, Azief fears no none in this wide world.

But out there, on the large and vast Universe, there is a lot of more powerful beings. He smiles as his eyes gleam with excitement and determination.

He wanted to reach the top and without stopping he will walk to that top

‘I am inevitable’ He said looking at the sky but he is actually seeing the stars above it.

‘I am coming there!’ And he gripped his fist as he makes this promise to himself.

He promised himself that one day he would travel to the stars, see the vast Universe and become like Azul to live freely across the vast Universe.

And nothing is going to stop him.

He heaves a breath of relief as he come out from the cave entrance. Around him is rubbles and broken braches from trees.

Azief notices someone is watching him from a distance. The Shadow Guards situated around the cave have already went away after they finished doing their job.

They must be exhausted of trying to limit the area of destruction Azief thought. He looks in front of him and he could see a woman looking at him

She is leaning at a tree and smiling bitterly at him. Azief took a calm step and smiles as he looks at her as he said

‘It has been a long time since we see each other. Let’s take a walk’ he said as he walks deeper into the slightly destroyed forest.

Some fires is dying and the wind is no longer blowing storms like earlier and The woman sighed as she followed behind him.
