Lord Shadow

Chapter 1212: Age of Adventure IV

Azief keep looking at the adventure of Tatiana in the city of Gold. 

Because of her contribution and her discovery of the city of Gold, she was appointed to be a Viceroy of the Holy Zun Empire in the New World

She once again met Aero was also in the world for a quest to find the Elixir of Life from Athena

Athena, the Goddess of War and Wisdom also seems to be interested. 

Azief himself was shocked when he first discovers that the divines in this world is more than just flavor text for the sake of the game

Takashi seems to modeled the religion of this world to the Olympians Gods of Earth Two. 

And the Gods were actually administrator of the game, an AI that was responsible for some of the operation of the game.

At least it was true when it was just a game. But when this become a real world, these Gods seems to embedded with the fabric of reality of these world. 

in Earth two, these Olympians is merely myths. However, in this new world, the Gods are very much alive and very much powerful.

Azief could guess that from the emanation of power that the Olympians in this world is around the level of Essence Creation leveler. 

But even then they could not detect Azief because the technology of Orvanians. And even if they manage to detect Azief, they are restricted by the world that they lived in.

It is a world born from codes and ones and zeroes. Unbelievable but that is how this world was created

As for Aero and Tatiana, Aero finally came to the New World. 

Aero was busy with the matter of the Empire during the rebellion and have never been able toc heck the matter sin the New World.

It was then he once again met Tatiana

Tatiana was disguised but Aero quickly felt the weirdness of the Viceroy of the Church 

Azief fast forwarded the scene again and now he saw Aero returning back to Vanheim

What he saw this time was the gathering of great heroes of the Vilajeri Continent in one place and they seem to be talking with each other. 

Ariana, Zeus and Aero sign a treaty

Because three of the representative of the Warring Kingdoms sign a treaty of peace, the Warring Kingdoms period is finally and officially over

However, Azief could see that there is divine power that seems to be building up in the Heavens of this world 

He could see that the Divines of this world began making moves.

Azief right now just look at these happenings and events like he would look at stories and movies.

At the same time, he sharpened his heart and strengthened his mind. 

There is a training like effect on his mind and his heart as he keeps watching the lives of millions of people playing out.

He could not yet like see the fates and destiny of everyone in this world but he does see the fates and destiny of all people that is close with Aero. 

He keeps looking and he saw the aftermath of the treaty. Because of the joyous occasion, there was a celebration that is being held to commemorate the peace treaty

A big celebration was held in the capital of the Holy Vanheim Empire.

Almost all of the nobility of the Empire on three sides was there. 

At that time Paris also attend the celebration. This Paris is one of the friend of Zeus. Zeus which is also one of the influential figure in Earth X history.

However, as Azief look at what is now happening at the feast, Azief was reminded of a story in his own world. 

The story of Helen of Troy

It was then that Azief realizes that Takashi probably created Helena using Helen as an inspiration.

A face that launched a thousand ships

Or was it simply a coincidence? But Azief shakes his head 

From what he had experienced, there is rarely something that is called coincidence.

It was like the moment that Takashi chooses the Olympians Gods as the template for the administrator position for his game world and created Helena and Paris, the destiny and fate is set.

Especially when it became real. 

Like the world itself is trying to follow a script, deriving the fates and destinies of everyone according to the flavor text of the NPCs before they became real. 

Paris saw Helena dancing and Aphrodite the Goddess of Love begins doing her job

Azief could see where things are going. This is the trigger for the Trojan War in the myths of his world and Azief felt quite amused seeing it pay out in this world.

As for the reason why Aphrodite suddenly appeared and whispering sweet words toward Paris, Azief could see that the divine turbulence he felt before is now reaching to a new peak.

This day of celebration of peace is being schemed upon by the Divines in Olympus.  The Gods are interfering

If Takashi modeled the Seven Celestial according to the Olympians Gods and right now there is Paris and Helena which is basically just Helen at this point, then there is no doubt that the past story that he didn't know must have something to do with the Apple of Discord. 

It is then a prelude to the war of the Gods

Paris saw Helena and the moment he looked at her, he was enchanted and falls in love with her in a way that he had never fell in love before

And like Azief expected, Aphrodite helped Paris because Paris chose her as the fairest among the Three Goddess which is between Hera, Athena and Aphrodite with each Goddess promising something to him and Paris chooses Aphrodite who promised him the most beautiful woman in the world.

The Goddesses enchanted Helena, something that the Gods in this world must not do and by doing so creating a rift in the sky.

This is Heaven Changing act. 

And such act has consequences

the difference between this world and the myths of Olympus is that the Gods of Olympus in this world is merely an administrator and while they could issue quest and give rewards, they must not interfere

There is a force older than them. And that force is probably a force that Takashi written into the code to prevent such thing happens.

So, the moment Aphrodite enchant Helena and makes her falls in love with Paris, against her will and against her feeling, Azief could see the fortune of Aphrodite, of Olympus, of Paris, decreasing.

And this did not only affect Paris, it also affects all those who have relations with him. From his friends to even the country he is born from. 

The fortune of the country also decreased.

This kind of things is illusory but for someone who could see it with his own eyes, he could already predict the winner and loser of this conflict that would surely erupt.

But the people inside the tribulation itself does not realize that they are already in the tribulation. 

Yes, what is happening now is like the tribulation of the heart. The Jade Empire termed this kind of phenomenon as the tribulation.

Most of the time, the people in the tribulation itself does not realize that they are inside the tribulation unless they possess great intuition and could recognize that they are in one

But clearly Aphrodite did not know that the moment he did what she did, the tribulation descends not only on her, but also on Olympus. 

Helena tries to break through from the enchantment and fearing that Paris would know that Helena did not really falls in love with him, Aphrodite makes her lose her consciousness

No one knows that at that night of celebration Helena was kidnapped. 

Not even a few days after that, people realized that Helena was kidnapped.

The reason is because Aphrodite send some of the Nymph to pretend to be Helena. 

But the Chancellor could see through the nymph and cut her down with his sword in the throne room

When it was revealed that Aphrodite had been using nymphs to pretend to be Helena, the treaty between United Kingdom of Veva and the Holy Vanheim Empire is torn up and it is the beginning of a great war

Azief could see in that fast forward projection that it is not only the mortals that is at war. The Gods in Olympus also wage war against each other

It had a lot of similarity like the Trojan War. But there is also differences. 

A lot of them. Azief could bet that if the players had their memories, they could guess who is the winning side

And also the war itself might not have happened if the players all had their memories after all, most people knows the story of the Trojan War.

The Vrandeus Oath, something that the warriors in the war keep saying is being upheld.

The Kings and Princes from every nation that shares the same faith marches to the North, with Aero leading the charge

Azief could see right now that the illusory fortune that he had seen before is now being condensed into Aero fate and destiny

'The fortune is being realized' he mutters to himself. But this kind of fortune is not comparable to the kind of fortune that Aero would get later.

For now, the amount of fortune he has is the same kind of fortune one would get when one is saving the country.

Considering that Aero is the top man of the Vanheim Empire, his act right now related to the rise and fall of the Empire

Azief find this matter to be interesting. 

Thinking about it again, if not for the fact that he had a lot of fortune and fate, how could he be so lucky to survive the encounter with Gods and Goddesses during the time where Aero arrive at Earth X?

Maybe it is because he has the fortune of this world that when he arrives at Earth X, he managed to carve himself a place in that world and become the King of the First Generation.

Azief saw how Zeus take arms for Paris. 

And Azief could tell that the battle is not only for the hand of the Empress but also for the hegemony of the world. 

The world is split into three and this is the time to decide who would be the ruler of the continent

They engage in battle for years before Zeus was defeated with the help of Ariana. At the same time, the battle in Olympus also ended.

Though it is nothing like Azief thought would happen. 

Azief don't know what kind of world Matsuo had created but damn, there was even an Archangel joining the war of Olympus.

One thing he does admire was that it was interesting. The religion of the Seven Celestial weakens

All of this is something that happens in years by in Azief eyes it passes by the second.

He saw that there is a Convention between the Holy Zun Empire and the Vanheim Empire. There are also some details about some princesses and kings and princes but Azief is not interested in that

There is a treaty signed by the Church governed territory and the Vanheim Empire. The world is now divided into two
