Lord Shadow 658 His Declaration

Love is a headache. 

But once he is in it, it is hard to extricate himself. 

He is not a monk or some ascetic that refrain from falling in love. But who would have thought once you fell in love it would be this hard?

Being pathetic and being silly, is this what love is all about? 

Because that is what Azief felt when he is in love. He felt pathetic and he felt silly. He does thing and then he looks back and he found himself to be very silly.

And he could not stop. he wanted to slap himself when he said that his heart love two person. It felt like he is some kind of a trashy person.

And it hurts his heart so much, knowing that both of those women hurt because of him. 

He did not know how to respond because he was never loved before. 

And now that he had gained so much love, he is confused what love really is. 

Is it affection or is it love? Is it just some kind of lingering feeling or is it real emotions? The more he questioned his heart, the more confused he became.

And then that vision he saw in the Time Tunnel, it made him waver. That is why after saving Sasha, the first thought in his mind is that he needs to find the oracle. 

He needs to know an expert opinion of future vision on his own vision. 

He never wanted to see the future. Because it will affect him and his action.

But he couldn't really stop seeing things about the future and past in that Time Tunnel.

Some of it was fragmented and some of it was clear but only for a second before it slipped away from his mind. 

Time tunnel is just a way to give a name to that path of Time and s.p.a.ce.

It is nothing like a tunnel despite the name. 

At times, you are floating in this wide expanse of nothingness and there are some bubbles with Time Fragment inside it. 

Sometimes, when you blink you find yourselves in some kind of plane that have Time Loop imposed upon them and sometimes you would find yourself in some kind of dimension where the rules did not make sense and the Time there and its s.p.a.ce were all in a mess

Speedsters on the other hand had an advantage as they use the Speed Source as an anchor to run through all of these obstacles. 

There is of course also vision of their future but Will once told him that if a Speedster ever found themselves stuck or thrown into a Time Tunnel, they were taught to never pays that vision any attention. 

Even if that vision is showing your death or a tragedy of their lives, for a speedster it is fatal mistake to pay attention. 

Because once they are distracted inside the Time Tunnel, they might lose their connection with the Speed Source and they would probably be stuck inside the Time Tunnel for a long time.

Azief saw it and he was distracted by it. Because he did not only see one scene. He seen many things and he seen many betrayals in that scene.

It made him question himself. Why would these people betray him? Is it them making a mistake? Or is it me making the mistake?

And why was he so powerful in that scene? 

In the scene that he saw, he was so powerful that even Azief now, who is at the peak level of Divine Comprehension leveler would stand no chance against the him that he saw in that scene

Of course, he did not believe that vision easily. That is why he wanted to meet Will. And he wanted to meet Erika.

Because the vision he saw overlapped with another scene. Both of those scene was so similar but there is also differences between them.

But in both scene, he was betrayed. Yet, the way those people acted and calls out to him was is different. 

He needs some clarity and he wants answers

Unlike Will and other Speedster in existence he did not have any connection with the Speed Source and as such he drifts for a long time. 

Maybe it was just a second that he was floating inside the Time Tunnel or maybe it was for eternity that he had been floating inside that Time Tunnel. 

It is really meaningless to speak about time in the Time Tunnel.

Whatever the case was, he saw something that made him shocked and made him waver. 

If not for the fact he had Thirteen Laws inside him and the power to manipulate that Laws, he would not even dare to open a Time s.p.a.ce rip. 

But he also knows, the only reason he was thrown into a Time Tunnel is because something happens right at that time when he was about to come into the Time and s.p.a.ce rip.

It is that roar that changes the Time Tunnel composition making the way back harder than he thought it was. 

He opens a Time Tunnel, a Time and s.p.a.ce rip but the Time Tunnel he opens was stable in the beginning. 

But when the roar sounded off, a foreign energy changes the makeup of that Time Tunnel which makes him have to work hard to come out from the Time Tunnel.

Speedster uses Speed Source and he as he had Thirteen Law Bodies even Time could not erode his body in that timeless void and he even uses that time to master the Divine Law and manage to come out just at the right place and time to help Sasha before her fate changes.

Sasha could see Azief was thinking about a lot of things but as Sasha comes near Pandemonium and noticing that Death Monarch still did not look forward, instinctively she said

'Your Excellency we are about to arrive' And then Azief like he is being startled look forward once again.

He halted and then he smiles. 

'Pandemonium' he said. And Sasha nodded awhile saying

'Pandemonium' she said. The mist, the glowing skies and clouds, this is Pandemonium, the strongest force and the number one world power

Azief felt the thirteen energies around the skyscape of the Pandemonium. 

He smiles. 

He was reminded of the past. At that time before he leaves Pandemonium he stomps his feet and the thirteen energies inside his body fused into the protection formation of Pandemonium.

He meant to leave it as a protection formation for Pandemonium Even after six years, it is still there.

'You still have the key?' Azief ask Sasha. Sasha was startled and she remembers what key Death Monarch is talking about

She thought for a while and then she said

'I give it away' Azief turn his face and then look at her intently. 

Sasha unconsciously gulped but she maintains her bravery and then she tries to look at Death Monarch eyes before Death Monarch ask

'Who?'

's.h.i.+nji' she answered. Azief eyebrows raises up a bit and then he asks

'You trust him?'

'Your Excellency trust him so I also trust him' Sasha reply. 

s.h.i.+nji was a person of the World Government. Azief met him in Poland and was impressed by his sword strike that is straight and very sharp. 

Even at that time, he could see that s.h.i.+nji would become a sharp sword. And Azief like sword. He likes collecting them and he likes to wield them.

s.h.i.+nji fought him and lost. 

But he did not die. 

Instead Azief brought him back and heal him from his nearly dead status and since s.h.i.+nji had fulfil his oath to the World Government, he accepted Azief proposition and become the Vice Leader of the Shadow Guards

But he did not understand why would Sasha entrust the key to the protection formation of Pandemonium to s.h.i.+nji. 

Then Azief remembers what he had seen the moment he returned. He also saw some glimpses of the lives of people of the Shadow Guards when he was trying to break the barrier of Time and s.p.a.ce.

The Shadow Guards that was outside of Pandemonium was hunted during the six-year period he was not on Earth and then he understands why Sasha made such a move.

Then he said

I trust you more' he simply said Sasha chuckles and then she said

'I will remember this. Next time, I will do it myself then' she replies to Azief word. 

Azief nodded. 

The key he is talking about is the key of the protection formation.

Everyone knows that while Pandemonium is not exactly known for arrays and formation, they do have one powerful protection formation left by Death Monarch before he went to the stars

 If the Lotus Palace had a complicated and hard to decipher protection formation that repels all kinds of power, then the protection formation of Pandemonium is very crude.

It simply relies on the fact that it is a formation of brute strength. Thirteen energies are enough to repel all kinds of powerhouse of the world.

It is said to be able to even take an attack from a Divine Comprehension leveler. 

Who would have thought that in the six years he was gone, there is no news that anyone have broken through to Divine Comprehension level?

Six years and no one had ever dare to invade Pandemonium and that is because while Death Monarch is gone, there is still the formation that protects it from any harm. 

This formation that Azief had created cover even the Pandemonium Sea. He could still see the sky glowing at certain times and felt the abundant energy all over Pandemonium.

He looks at the sky and look at that mist in front of him. 

Even though there are mist, for some reason, it was almost like his eyes was not obstructed by the magical formation and he could see right through it.

Before he left he had declared to the world that he is leaving. At that time, his voice echoes all over the world.

Now, he is back. Smiling, he once again declared.

'I am back' he declared as his voice echoes and reverberated through the entire world.

The entire world heard his declaration as his voice sounded like a voice that comes from the Heaven. Like a sky quake, his declaration echoes all over the world.

n.o.body ask who is back. 

They all recognize that voice. 

Six years ago, that voice told the world that he is leaving. 

Now, six years later that voice once again echoes all over the world to declare that he has returned. 

Which hero in the world is more high profiled than Death Monarch?

Each time he leaves and each time he returns, he brought with him great storm of change.

When he left that day and heard his declaration the people of Pandemonium was filled with sorrow and sadness. 

Today, when they heard that declaration, they cheered. Some people who were rejoicing at that time, now frowned and once again they look at the sky

They fear the skies would suddenly turn cloudy. 

That would frighten them. They would be frightened if they see the sky turns cloudy or when the sky suddenly has no clouds. 

When it is cloudy, a red thunderbolt might strike down and when it is cloudless, a sword might descend

After this, surely there are a lot of people that would look at the sky with dread once again
