Lord Shadow

For a moment there is silence between them. Azief rarely talks about his personal stuff. But this did not mean he did not want to talk about it.

He himself is not very accustomed in making connection and he is trying hard at it.

So the only thing he could do is rely on the people around him. But, the people around him is also not that normal.

Loki always speaks in riddles, Sofia is different. The only normal people around him has always been Sina.

And then he met Will. He is also very normal when it is about relationship.

The silence is broken suddenly

‘Rejection?’ Will ask

‘yes.’ He said then paused for a second before saying

‘In my life I have been rejected many times’

He then smiles bitterly

‘Of course, most of this is work rejection. I never got rejected in love because I have never had the courage to fall into it. I never understood breakup songs or love song. I never relate to it because I never felt such love.’ he sighed and then said

‘I was rejected by my family, and I have few people I could call friends. My life was pretty depressing. An I thought I was numb to it. To rejection, that is.’

He seems to close his eyes for a second like he was remembering all those years ago. Then he opens his eyes and said

‘But, a simple rejection by Sofia cuts my heart like it never had been cut before’

He paused for a second and then said

‘I don’t hate her. I am angry at her. But, I could never stay angry at her. Was it her fault? Or was it mine? Maybe, I don’t want to know the answer. So, it is better not to meet her. Not until I am ready’

He wanted to make Will understand. In many cases, there is never a need for him to explain anything to anyone.

He usually let people makes their own thoughts about him. he has no need to socialize too much because he already sat on the highest peak of power.

But Will is not someone that he could brush off or someone he did not care about. This is his friend. His sworn brother.

He did not want Will to think of him badlly. So, he wanted him to understand why he did the things he did.

Will nodded.

This is Azief personal problem. He could comment on it; he could advise him but it is important not to overstepped certain things.

He also understood how complicated a person feeling are.

‘Let’s talk about something else then’ Will said.

Azief nodded. They began talking about mundane things. Will would tell Azief the story of his journey with his teacher and Azief told him stories about the past adventure he had

They deliberately did not touch any subjects about the world.

They did not speak about big plans, about the world powers, about Loki, about the affairs of the world but instead, they talked about each other

Azief wanted to know how life is for Will right now and Will wanted to know if there is any happy news in Azief life.

Like two old friends meeting after a long time, forget the affairs of the world for a while and enjoy the companion of a friend.

The day passes like this for both of them as the forces of the world all is sailing toward the Turbulent Sea.

>>

The world is at war. But this time, the people of the world would not suffer. This is the struggle for the world domination.

After almost a decade, the trend of the world seems to be completed.

The trend of the world sided with the world powers.

By now, everyone has recognized the influence of the world powers, the Seven Great forces that rules the world and make the rules for everyone.

However, with the sudden news that there is a trident of a god from Olympus held by a member of the pirates, suddenly this trend of the world seems to be up for the grabs again.

And then Death Monarch suddenly attacked and captured high ranking members of the pirates and the Crime Alliance.

This alone had provoked the criminal underworld. Those who is in the criminal underworld could all feel that this time, Death Monarch is not playing around.

It is not like before.

And so, the criminal underworld also banded together. The hostages, the people that needs to be executed is no longer important

Because right now, the war had to fought. It is not simply to release those ten people that Death Monarch had captured but also to determine whether the Crime Alliance and the pirates could have a place in the world

Death Monarch captured those people because he wanted to induce a war.

And now, a war had been declared. The Ten Seas are boiling!

Azief is on his office. It is already night. He leans back on his chair as he closes his eyes for a while

There is many information that has been downloaded into his mind.

‘For some reason, I still prefer the old methods of reading’ he thought to himself.

On his office table, there is all kinds of drafts. Most of it is the draft he wrote.

There are also many notes that he wrote.

Many of these are his subsequent plans for the world.

He put it on paper so he could see the outline of his own plan.

He then opens his eyes and then waves his hand.

All the paper rolled itself up and flew to the shelf and arrange itself neatly.

Azief then got up from his seat and look outside of the window.

He is in his villa on the hills, surrounded by thick fog and mist.

The moon above shines brightly, the sound of the sea clams him down.

Even though people would only see fog and mist if they look toward his villa, he himself has an unrestricted view to everything.

After all, the fog is like a window on the car that is tinted heavily

Other people could not see the inside of the car but the people inside the car could see the outside clearly.

That is how it is for him. He looks at the waves and he thought about the information he just gets. And he could not help bug sighed

‘Even though I gave Kaiju time, I am also quite nervous’ Azief thought to himself. The world only sees his victories. Who have known that he was also beaten many times in the past?

Before the Fall, he is not the most extraordinary person. Even after the Fall, if not for his luck and his perseverance, he would not have reached this point.

Kaiju is not the problem. The problem is the trident. He just got the information about the Ten Seas.

If Kaiju could relay mobilize the mystical properties of the Ten Seas, Kaiju would be a formidable enemy.

There is the Turbulent Sea𝑂𝗏𝑳xt.𝕔𝑶𝗆

Distorting time and space, this is the Turbulent Sea feature. If Kaiju could manipulate this, it would be a very powerful ability to have.

Azief had also learn what the order of Thinkers speculated about this mystical properties of the sea. It is not in the water.

But a rule that has been set upon these seas. It gathered and it solidified and it created these mystical properties that seems to be embedded.

Azief had a long day thinking about this and he concluded with his power right now, while he could arrange the continent of the world, create the Ten Realms of land., he could not strip these mystical properties from the sea.

So, the best way is to manipulate these tens seas to become a barrier of sorts for the continent that would be established.

Then there is the Blood Sea. From it rises wraiths, demonic creatures and even zombie-like monsters.

Azief had talk about this with the Order of Thinkers and they insisted that they want the sea to remain around them even after the distribution of the world.

It seems that they found a different way to human strengthening in the Blood Sea.

The Order of Thinkers did not share the research with the other world power but Azief could guess what they had uncovered.

Azief had many knowledge in his head after he immerse himself in Orvanians technology for months

There is also the Sea of Fire. It is literally in the name. The entire sea is not water but flames. Unless you have powerful bodies, you would be scorched to death in this sea.

But the pirates in this part of the sea somehow have managed to find a way to sails freely in this sea made of flames.

Then there is the Illusory Sea.

This sea is near the Empire of Japan but not so close to it

For those who sails this sea, they would sea illusion that could not be distinguished with reality.

At times, it would even bring people into some kind of illusion world where everything in that world is real

There is fog surrounding this sea so if people don’t know how to navigate it, it is better for them to steer clear away from it.

Then there is the Sea of Monsters.

Like the name, this is a sea filled with monsters.

There is sea monster three feet below every island, and the island are all filled with beast of titanic proportion.

This is the reason why some seas are peaceful without monster’s habitats. Most of seventy percent of monster seems to gather around the sea of monster
