Lord Shadow

Pandemonium

Half an Hour Before Death Monarch Goes to The Seresian World 

Azief lean back on his chair and close his eyes for a few second. 

He is right now in his office. 

There is an empty cup of coffee on the side table on the corner of the room.  It is a new office that the keeper of palace had constructed for him. 

the old office had crumbled down from one of the towers when the expansion of the world was happening.

Azief is quite satisfied with the new office.

Not only it is larger, it is also equipped with state of the art magical and technological advancement built into it.

He had been busy for the day. he has met with his officials and approve some of the development project and halted some others.

Azief had been thinking a lot about how to redraw the border of the world. Right now, he knows that the other six great powers are waiting for him.

They wanted him to once again distribute the world territory. the reason is simply because it is only then that the world power would be stable

The four great powers might not like Pandemonium influence getting even stronger, but they must admit in this current changing world, Pandemonium coming out and once again sorting out the order would bring stability

And regardless of the rivalry or antagonistic relationship between the world powers, they all need stability if they don't want to be crushed.

Azief had read the report of what happens for the past four days. 

Fortunately, enough, with the current technological advances of Earth, he no longer has to read it one by one thus wasting his time. 

Instead all he needs to do is touch any of the folders on the related issues and the information is streamed inside his mind which did not even take a second for him to understand the issue.

One of the issues plaguing the world right now is that the lack of surveillance. Primarily on their enemies.

The Three Great Powers which is Pandemonium, World Government and Republic is in a way in a transcendent position compared to the other four great powers.

The four great powers had to pacify a lot of rebellious forces in their continent. 

And not all of those rebellious forces was truly eradicated. For example, the Lotus Order. 

The Lotus Order itself does not have too much power over some parts of Asia. 

They were more like the representatives of Asia and not the common voice of Asia itself. 

After the expansion of the world and the discovery that new continents are popping up left and right all over the world, some of these rebellious forces that could not live alongside the current order of ruling in their continent, quickly brought their people away.

And Azief himself knows that some of these places is hard to monitor even using Divine Senses. The distance is also millions of miles away.

They could develop in peace, creating their own government and probably in a few decades could threaten the supremacy of the great powers

Not to mention the League of Freedom and African Alliance.

The way they maintain their power is not exactly something that could be spoken in good company

  As for the order of Thinkers, their position is a bit different considering that when they first went to the Antarctica there is no one there

Regardless, all of these enemy forces for the great powers had migrated in just a couple of days. The development of transportation technology had enables people to quickly migrate large amount of human population.

A Battlestar could even fit an entire small country population into it.

For example, the Battlestar Genesis that Hirate had launched to outer space in hopes of searching a planet capable of housing human life, to find another Earth so that human could have a second planet, that Battlestar was built to be not only large but also to be able to sustain life with organize matter embedded into the ship itself.

That alone could fit a few countries population inside. 

It is apparent that to migrate a large amount of population these days is very easy.

But right now, the biggest problem of the world is not immigration.

Instead, right now, the world powers needed legitimacy. And the legitimacy of their own power came from the Articles of the World Distribution Event which is authored by him.

He had some ideas on how to tackle this matter. It is novel idea but it is very possible. It is something he could not do before, but he could do now.

It is to prepare for that possibility that he is approving some construction and not approving the others. 

And that is not the only problem. There is still the Otherworlders problem. Azief had some ideas about some of these matters.

He knew that the Order of Thinkers had been taking these people to Antarctica. No doubt this is to solve the problem of population in the Order of Thinkers.

And they are not the only ones that are thinking like this. but they are very brave. If the whole word did not agree at this matter, there is a chance for Order of Thinkers would be condemned by the great powers.

Azief did not have time to scold the Order of Thinkers right now. And it is also one of his plan to integrate these Otherworlders into Earth

Most of these Otherworlders also come from Earth even though some of their world events happened differently from this world

Humans is on the verge of extinction. If another such event happens again, it is without a doubt that humanity would spiral into extinction.

He details some of these in his own documents. But he knew he had to call the World Council to express his thoughts.

And the idea that he has could not be done by his power alone. 

Right now, however, he wanted to settle a few things first. In case he could not come back, he had to leave a few measures of security for Pandemonium and his people.

Pandemonium would not be easily shaken even he is not here. 

Pandemonium had grown that far. He is also thinking of the few people right now that have power to truly pose a threat to Pandemonium, specifically Jean and Hikigaya

  Jean is not a warmongering person and he would not be interested in fighting a war with Pandemonium.

There is still Loki after al. In the event that he died, Azief is quite confident that Loki would step up and protect Pandemonium

And he also has Will. 

As for Hikigaya, he is a bit like him. their personality has some differences but there were some traits of him that is quite similar to Death Monarch

One thing he does know about Hikigaya was that he did not like doing things that would trouble him.

He is not interested in world domination. If he is, he would truly fight for power in the World Government instead of cutting contact between the Empire of Japan and the World Government.

Something must have happened. 

Knowing Hirate, he must have put some offer and it is more advantageous for the Empire of japan, even if it is a façade to remain an ally to the World Government. 

Of course, Azief also did not discount the fact that Hikigaya might be thinking of being a neutral force.

In the past, any wars that the World Government participated in, whether Hikigaya likes it or not, he still has to enter that war as an ally and one of the founding countries of the World Government

Or Hikigaya might be thinking to stabilizes the world as he could easily enter an alliance with the Republic or even pandemonium and tilted the balance of the Three Great Powers.

Whatever Hikigaya plan is this is very dangerous. Yet, at the same time it provided quite the advantage for him.

He sighed

He doesn't know if he has enough time before tomorrow. 

He realizes he had already been standing and pacing the room.

He chuckles a bit

'It has been a long time that I have been this anxious. It is not very good to be this anxious. My mind state might be disturbed' he thought to himself

He found himself having too many things to protect. He could let it all go but if he let go of all of that, then he knows he is going to lose something that he did not want to lose. 

So, it is fine even if he had to do more work than usual

He sat down on his chair. The desk that has been created by the architect is an exquisite desk. It is built from a magical oak timber.

Beneath the smooth surface is hundreds of runes combined in an overlapping matrixes. 

One could not see it but once anyone uses Divine Sense they could see what is underneath the surface.

The matrixes are a concealing formation that is strengthened by tens of thousands of times. This is the design of the array formation department research.

Even a Divine Comprehension leveler could not see past through the drawers of this desk. Well, that is not entirely correct. 

The fact is they could but they have to expend a lot of their Divine Sense energy which would then alert the formation and would blow that person to kingdom come.

Not only that this formation made his desk so sturdy that even if the roof of this place falls down toward this table, this table would not break.

Azief even thought that the related department had not created a desk but instead created some kind of indestructible artifact
