Lord Shadow

To the people of the world, they were shocked at how much energy that Kaiju seems to possess. It is beyond the imagination of all the people that are watching.

The sound of the sky quake, the sound of sonic booms, the sound of the earth cracking, the waves crashing, the thunder roaring, all of these noise echoes and mixed together amidst the intense battle

The punches that Kaiju blasted off from his fist is like small mountain flying and charging toward Azief.

And there are thousands of such mountains.

If they fight like this in Arturia, even though there are all kinds of protection formation over there, a few punches and the defense probably would crack.

The fist felt like Kaiju lifted all kinds of mountains and keep dropping them on him

Azief is still there on the sky, and his body become bigger and bigger and now that he fifty feet large, he swings his sword

One swing.

Two swings

Three swings

A few swings and the sword move become waving the sword.

Again and again, he swings and sword light filled the sky and the space in between

Thunder followed the sword trail, merge with the sword light. The sky constantly roars toward the Earth.

BOOM!

pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ BOOM!

Mountain-size fist energy that seems to cast a shadow upon the world collides with tens of thousands of sword light

And in only a few second, those countless fist were all swept by the sword light followed by billowing thunder bolts that wrapped itself around these sword light

There is silence for a while. And those who looks at this battle felt like the whole world went silent. The fist energy was swept away just like that.

With a swing of a sword, covered with lightning, accompanied with the roars of thunders

But then the roars of thunders sounded again and everyone shakes their head and focused. The battle does not end yet.

Above the sky, hundreds of lightning bolts seems to descend upon the Turbulent Sea. All of this lightning bolts and the sound of thunders come from those mysterious clouds that is slowly expanding all over the sky of the Turbulent Sea

Azief entire body seems to have turned into a vortex that attracts lightning

BOOOOM!

BOOOOM!

The heaven rendering sound echoes all over that it spreads out far to the distance, covering the entire Turbulent Sea and beyond.

And then a sound of laughter echoes all over the Ten Seas

Those who watched the battle could not help but be stunned.

Kaiju is laughing!

And he is laughing so carefreely.

The entire space between him and Death Monarch is covered with lightning, his fist was swept away by that sword light, defeat seems so close but he still has the mood to laugh and smile

‘I want to believe in myself. I will not bow. And I will not kneel. Even if I die!’ he shouted and it seems Kaiju attracted something.

A force of Will that is present in all Universe seems to descended upon him. His own Grand Path.

And then to the shock of everyone he takes a step forward. He crashed into that lightning vortex; his body bathed in lightning

BOOOM!

BOOOM!

Each time the lightning bolt strikes Kaiju body, it created all kinds of shockwave that shakes the space around him.

The space and time around him are severely distorted.

Those who sees this could not help but think that if anyone else do what Kaiju is doing right now, their body would probably be scorched or turns into dust

‘He is a dragon!’ some people shouted, watching the screen. And some people understood the meaning of that.

Kaiju is a dragon. And so, he has a domineering physique.

In Earth, after the system came and everyone have the same system, the also knows that the only time when they could refine their physical bodies is during the earlier stage from Body Refining realm to Energy Dispersing realm

After that, they would deal with energy and laws and concepts of the world, ethereal concepts that has something to do with the more mystical part of the realm.

Because of that, there is a rarity of someone who focuses on body refining and more focused on acquiring more firepower in using the laws of the world

So, if they tried to do what Kaiju did, with how their body is trained they would probably turn to ashes.

But Kaiju…. Kaiju turns his body to a tank.

Those thunder that roars and those lightning that strikes him are no ordinary thunder and no ordinary lightning

But his body could withstand the destructive laws that are present in the lightning bolts.

The thunder roars are also no ordinary roars.

The sound of thunder itself have power.

Combined that with a vibrational frequency that destroys thing, the roars of thunders that echoes from the clouds that Death Monarch has conjured, it is like being roared at by some kind of soundwave cannon.

But neither the lightning bolt or the thunder could break that body.

Even Azief was shocked at this.

‘There is such physique’ he thought to himself.

Of course, his shock is not that there is such a physique. It is that Kaiju physique exceeded his expectation.

He knows that out in the Universe there is all kinds of being and some trained their body to the peak that even if they died, their body would sail the stars like some kind of immortal object that could not be destroyed.

And those who see it was even more shocked.

For those experts that watches close to the battle, who is on the Turbulent Sea right now, watching this battle from nearby islands or inside the pocket dimension close to the battle site, they could also feel the strength of that lightning vortex.

The vortex itself has become a pool full of lightning bolts that descended from the Heavens

It protected Death Monarch and dispel any kinds of attacks.

It is because of this that they are even more shocked. These people that dares come close to Death Monarch fight are all in Disk Formation realm.

But even they know that, as long as they dare to step into that pool of lightning, they would probably be wiped out in an instant and turned into dust

Even though they are far away, they can still feel the aura of death surrounding that blighting pool.

Kaiju…when facing such a terrifying lightning pool, he relied on his physical body

Everyone wanted to watch what Kaiju did next. He appeared in the domain of that lighting pool and punches out.

Hundreds of lightning bolts disperses.

‘What a dragon race!’ some people exclaimed.

‘These two pare really too strong!’

‘Like gods and demons!’

Kaiju, using his physical strength just entered that domain of destruction and directly hit the lightning vortex with his fist.

Cracks appears all over the vortex and hundreds of lightning bolts dispersed with one strike.

On a lone ship, Loki look at this battle. It is the same for Yewa Hafar.

They both did not move from their position.

Loki did not know what Yewa Hafar is trying to do in Arturia.

𝗈𝒱𝓛xt.𝗇𝓔t

Before, he could predict what Yewa Hafar would do. That is because thing follows the destiny and follow the script that he is familiar with.

So, there is little variables.

And those variables that pop out every once in a while, is always calculated by him.

But with Azief continuous improvement and entangling his destiny and fate with more people and more beings…. his destiny also veered off path.

But that is not a bad thing.

Not a bad thing at all.

The grand destiny is still there but how it reach there…. now that is the important thing.

There are some wise words in the world and one of them is that sometimes, the journey is more important than the destination.

While this wisdom could not apply to everything in this world, these words of wisdom apply very aptly for Azief.

The Grand Destiny probably could not be changed.

But Loki knows how important it is the journey to get there and how he will get there. That is why he is here.

He also wanted to join. Whether he joins the Crime Alliance or the world powers, no one would be surprised.

And Loki admit, he had some plans that he wanted to do when the war started. But that plan had to be scrapped off

Because he had to stand here in this lone ship.

Because Yewa Hafar comes to the Turbulent Sea. And since he is here…. he must be planning something.

Yewa Hafar look at the battle and he sighed

‘He has become stronger…. too fast’ he added at the end

Loki smiles bitterly.

‘Things did not go according to plan, did it?’

Yewa Hafar chuckles and then said

‘Is it only my plans that was disrupted? How about your plan Trickster?’ he asks. Loki chuckles, look at the sky in the distance and spoke

‘Kaiju is an anomaly. And Azief is a surprise’ his tone is full of emotion.

Even though the Azief that he is seeing now is not that God of Life and Death, the First Sovereign, there is that shadow of that unfathomable being.

From the moment that Loki cross path with Azief all those years ago, the wheel of destiny deviated little by little.

The chains that hold down this wheel could no longer support the deviation and the chains break off completely and so, the wheel is turning to wherever it wanted to go.

It is what he wants.

But not this fast.

Not in this way.

Someone…..is also playing chess right now.

He knows there is a hidden player and that is Erika.

But…he also began feeling that there are more hidden players now….and they hid very deeply and the trident is one of the chess move.

Is it Odin? He is quite sure Odin will try to contact Azief. But, is this move his or someone else?

Poseidon? His mood is always unstable but this did not mean he is not brilliant. And the trident is his….so it seems logical to think this is him announcing his participation

Hades? This is a being that always has a way to survive

Could he find a way to survive the next Purge event? And so, he enter the game?

Or Zeus himself?

Did Zeus pretend he forgets? Or did he forget and regain his memory?

Or maybe, it is the Jade Emperor. He gives the Celestial character to Death Monarch…. he must want something.

There are too many candidates and too many possibilities.

And that is not good
