Lord Shadow

Chapter 1099: The peach tree (2)



The World Government on the other hand could be considered a bit like federation of Kings and the World Government Quorum Council could be regarded as the Habsburg dynasty, conferring kings and emperors over the land that they take by force of arms or by the use of diplomacy

Pandemonium on the other hand did not acknowledge any nationalities, race or religion. When you are the citizens of Pandemonium, you are a citizen of Pandemonium.

You are not Americans, Australian, Chinese, Koreans, Bhutanese, Indians or any of those races. Since Azief had seen the Universe, to him, these distinction is stupid. 

They are firstly humans. Humanity.

The race of Pandemonium is humans. 

And judging by the way Pandemonium is growing it would not be long before Pandemonium would also accept intelligent monsters as citizens

Slowly, Pandemonium would become a place where all of the people of Earth could take shelter.

The objective of the creation of Pandemonium is slowly being added more and more each year.

It is hard to put this in words to ignore the education and the practice of nationalism, of a country based on race but the reason it works on Pandemonium is because there is only one voice. 

And whoever does not want to obey this creed, could let themselves go. 

Pandemonium had never encouraged people to go to the continent. 

Yet, even in the threat of death, they still come toward Pandemonium by the tens of thousands.

Pandemonium still has him so; the matter of surveillance could be solved easily. 

But since he could not always stand guard for Pandemonium, it is necessary for Azief to think of other measures to take to look over the population of Pandemonium.

There is a lot of human community that is separated during the expansion of the world. He sighed as he rubs his forehead.

In that few seconds, his mind formulates all kinds of thoughts and the moment these thoughts appears, he wanted to solve them which added to the pain in his mind.

There are all kinds of problems that he needs to solve so Azief could not break down. But…. but…. In this moment, he wanted to just break down.

For once…. he just wants to be weak. He wanted to kneel down and break down crying, letting all of this frustration in his heart out

Sofia might say a lot of thing about him some are true, some are her impression of him. 

But if there was a wrong thing that she had said and thought, it was that he was serious about his proposal

He wanted to marry her.  He truly wanted to marry her

He had planned it all out in his mind. When he was at space, he looks down on the Earth.

And he looks toward a certain area. 

That certain area is magnified in his eyes and he smiles looking at it

An area which used to be the Malaysia. It is nothing like his country anymore. 

There is tall mountain with tall trees and weird plants.

The land is also larger than before. But it could not be compared with Pandemonium. 

Still, the flora and fauna of the land is diverse and it seems like a paradise for alchemist and herbalist

Before the expansion, Azief did take a look on his old country and there were many new cities that were build. 

He had no sentimental feeling to his country. It is actually laughable how people would still be bounded by nationalism when there is a whole universe out there.

Humans fighting war against each other when outside the sky of Earth, there is millions of alien races out there that have united with each other

But after the Weronian Occupation, most humans have slowly changed. It is us vs the other mentality. 

Azief do not think that helps because such thinking if it is not contained could be dangerous. 

Azief do not want humanity to suddenly develops thought of fighting against alien civilization. 

Contrary to popular belief and the depiction of aliens in TV and movies and the bad experience that humanity had suffered under the hands of the Weronian, most advanced alien civilization rarely fights with other alien civilization.

The reason why humans fought each other is mostly about resources. 

Oil, food, land. Of course there are other wars that had been fought in another banner like independence, religion and ideology.

But in the end, it is always about resources.

But most of the advanced alien civilization that Azief had met, other than the barbaric Weronians or the Seresian demos, most of these advanced civilization has the power to harness the energy of the stars around their planetary system 

Some are powerful enough that they harnessed the power of the part of the Universe they are in, spanning far than their own planetary system 

When such power is harnessed, there would be no lack of resources. 

Without any lack of resources, usually there would be no war other than some small war between the ruling power.

But Earth did not yet reach that stage. 

There are still warlords fighting all over former Malaysia region, a battle that is tacitly approved by the Lotus Order as they controlled Asia

From what Azief had heard, there were some organization in Malaysia that brought back up the land of Singapore 

It had been sunk to the bottom of the ocean in an attack by a titanic monster in the past

But they brought it up again from the seabed and connected the former lands of Malaysia and Singapore with some gravity chains, making the small land of Singapore a floating land where the Disk Formation levelers of Singapore and Malaysia made their residence.

Singapore and Malaysia also merged in the literal sense of the word. 

Like some kind of transformer robots, the land of Singapore could link up with the land of Malaysia. 

Azief also reads from one of the reports that Sasha had given him in the past that some of the Generals that is controlling the interim government of United Malayan Kingdom is thinking of cutting the land that connected them with the Republic of Thailand 

The idea was that to create a United Malayan Kingdom that could link up with each other. Azief must admit that is quite a novel idea.

Europe could not do that easily as it is highly controlled by the Republic. And the Republic itself is a powerful world power.

People do not mind being under the umbrella of the Republic as many believes that the Republic stand equal with the other two great powers.

Like people of Pandemonium that held their head up high when they travelled the world, the people of the Republic and the World Government has certain pride knowing that they are the citizens of a great power that ruled the world

Lotus Order however, their grip on the entire Asia region is not as strong as the Three Titans of the World powers.

And they are not as powerful as the Three Titans

Because of that, no matter how many times the Lotus Order had given warnings to the interim government, they did not seem to care.

They even blatantly show it off. Lotus Palace could not be broken. 

That is true. 

Even Azief himself would find it hard to break the formation that covers the Lotus Palace.

But, great in defending, did not mean that they are great at attacking. The Lotus Order do not have enough power to maintain their control to all of Asia.

If they have such capability, how could then the Lotus Order had to compromise with all of the warlords?

As such, they could only send warning. A warning that no one in Asia cares about. 

Unless, it was like the last time where Pandemonium, World Government and the Republic come out and show their stance on the matter, most of the warlords in Asia that is far from the Wei empire would do whatever they wanted.

In the past, large nation has powers over small nation. 

Compared to United Malayan Kingdom, Wei Empire, even though it did not occupy all the territory of former China, it is still a large nation in terms of land

Yet, it could not exercise any control over small nations all over Asia. 

After the Fall, the determinant of a government power is not about who have the largest population or who has the largest land or who have the bigger army 

It is who have the higher quality levelers. The world after the Fall is the world of individual power supremacy.

One Divine Comprehension leveler is enough to tilt the balance to them regardless of how many Orb condensing stage levelers that one nation have

Even one have a million soldiers who have Orb Condensing leveler, one slash is all that is needed for a Divine Comprehension leveler to kill all of those soldiers

United Malayan Kingdom might have lower amount of Disk Formation leveler compared to the Three Great Powers, but they have more than the Lotus order could handle. 

After all, even though Lotus Order have more Disk Formation leveler than United Malayan kingdom, it is not that they could just mobilize one third of their fighting power to subdue United Malayan kingdom. 

The moment they do that, the other factions around them would also make a move.
