Lord Shadow

Chapter 1167: Falling down (1)

The sound of the sonic boom echoes around the sky and the clouds parted to give way. 

A gust of wind sweeps the area and the forest near the wind path were plucked out from their roots. 

Then a figure appears as the space and time around him seems to be distorted because of the pressure that this figure has over his surroundings. 

Time and space around this figure seems to bend in a weird manner. This figure is Azief. 

It took him only a few minutes to reach this place. 

Even though he could teleport, the Heavenly Rule of this world restricted him a bit and so with the time dilation added in, it takes him a few minutes instead of an instant.

He did not complain much. He arrived at the approximate area and he frowns a bit

‘It’s here?’ he looks around first and uses his Divine Sense trying to sense something but in the end he could sense anything.

To him, this place while it has large trees and thick trunk, a large forest filled with wild beast and game, and there is an inactive volcano in the distance, Azief could not sense anything unusual

‘Here is the place?’ he repeated in his mind. He almost could not believe it

He frowned for a second 

‘Even with a sweep of Divine Sense, I could not sense anything. The Orvanians have a very advanced stealth technology. The more I knew about them, the more formidable they seem to be’ he thought to himself.

Azief then slowly floats down to the ground and landed on a grassy clearing surrounded by green tall trees. 

There is some wild beast prowling around the area but they did not attack Azief. 

They seem to quickly run away from Azief area like they could sense that Azief is a different kind of being form them

It is like a prey that could sense a predator is among them.

Azief takes a breath. 

‘There is really nothing to indicate that this area is the place where the lab is. Incredible’ he once again thought to himself

Usually the air would change, the energy or even some changes of unnatural particle might have been changed because of the creation of something like an advanced lab.

And from what Katarina told him, the lab is not exactly natural.

Considering that the Orvanians technology is very advanced with some of them even having mystical properties Azief expect that now that he is in the ground he could sense or even trace some kind of differences in the surrounding area.

Even if he could not see it, at least he should be able to sense it with his Divine Sense. 

But even now, on the ground, on the specified location where the lab is supposed to be, he could not sense anything

Azief brought out his access card and began looking at the access card. Since the beginning when he uses the access card, the access card was blinking.

Even when he was teleporting, the access card seems to be able to direct his space-time travel according to a certain coordinate and even mask the coordinate from other interference

It is like some kind of a more advanced teleportation stone with GPS embedded into it

The access card finally stops blinking.

‘So, this is the place. At least I was not wrong’ He fears that he had been teleported to a wrong location

But since the access card has stopped blinking it shows he is in the right location. It is the ordinariness of everything around him that made him doubt that he is in the right location.

Azief right now is in front of a mountain. 

This mountain stands at the height of tens of thousands of kilometers in height.

It is covered with ice and weird plants. 

There is beast roaming around this mountain, some slither, some fly in the sky and some burrows in the ground. 

There is also the white fog that covers half of the bottom of the mountain. 

Looking from afar it is a magnificent mountain and a beauty of nature with a hint of a mystical charm. 

But this is the location of the lab.

Azief already got all the instruction he needed from Katarina on how to use the access card. He touches one of the translucent button on the access card and then he heard a sound.

It is a sound of something huge being moved. 

His ear immediately picked up the sound

Since this is the location of the lab then the sound must come around here, he thought to himself. 

Then he saw that not far away from him, a boulder suddenly phases in and out.

‘Ah’ he mutters to himself

And Azief quickly understand that is the entrance to the lab. 

Azief nodded to himself. 

He did not have much time now. He had only a month

If everything goes according to plan and nothing else hinders Katarina, he and Katarina would go back to Earth next month. 

And if he could replicate the time signature, their months of experience in the Seresian world would be only days on Earth

Azief believe that even if it is only days, there must be a lot of changes that is happening on Earth right now

Even before he left, there is a mountain of trouble from how to handle the Otherworlders, to set up new forbidden zones and restrain powerful monsters that some people would not have the chance to survive, the allocation of land, the petition of some forces to be acknowledged as one of the world power and so on and so forth

The problem keeps piling on. 

And most of the problem sent to his office is major problems that would affect the world and Pandemonium in particular

He also worried about a lot of things. 

He still worries about what will happen to Sofia. Knowing how stubborn and prideful she is sometimes, Azief knows she would not go back to Pandemonium.

Her choices are then limited. In all probability she would either strike it out alone or join some of the other world powers.

Unlike the others in Azief roster, Sofia never held a true official position in Pandemonium. She could even be considered a free agent

But the reason why no one had recruited her before is simply because she is known to be the woman of Death Monarch

That comes with a few perks but also a few disadvantages. 

Then there is Loki. 

Since he voluntarily took the blame for the Multiversal Convergence, he had been putting a big target on his back

The Six powers would try to capture him to bring him to justice. Out of the seven world powers, Pandemonium decided to shelter him if he ever want to return.

So, Pandemonium is out of the running and could be a safe place for him. 

As for Hirate and the World Government, he would send hunting squads against Loki but Azief knows Hirate would not be active in trying to capture him

Hirate had to send capture squad because if he didn’t then his declaration does not really make sense and his real intention would be questioned.

And the lie would probably be seen through if he did not act like he truly wanted to capture Loki. 

Even if Loki was captured by the World Government, knowing Hirate hesitation in actually blaming Loki for the matter, he might just imprison Loki but not execute him.

As for the Republic, as long as Katarina is sent back and is allowed to assume her mantle as the High Chancellor, while she could not cancel the capture squad she could control the priority of mission and Loki burden would lighten considerably.

As for the others, unless they thoroughly wanted to anger him, they would hold back a bit. The matters of politics are like this.

In the beginning, they all have to show their righteous anger to the world. They have to set the line. 

But even though the fervor of wanting to blame Loki is high as days’ passes, they also could think of it calmly. Loki is not some normal person

Even though Loki is known to be a Disk Formation leveler, no one knows his true realm whether he is in the pinnacle realm of Disk Formation or whether he is in the middle realm of Disk Formation.

And Loki is not a normal Disk Formation levelers. Anyone that have ever clashed with him would know that Loki is a man of many resources and many tricks. 

Even if he is without backup, this is a man that once staged a guerilla attack against the Kingdom of Wei in China, terrorize the World Government and the Revolutionary Army and move around the world unhindered.

He is not as high profiled as Death Monarch. But he is known to walk in the darkness, his scheming dark hand could be found everywhere in the major matters of the world

When the other world powers think of this, think of the reality of the situation, Loki is not a guy that they could easily just capture wherever they wanted to.
