Lord Shadow

The world powers did not forget that other than the Republic and the World Government, the other four great powers are all great powers that has been bestowed by the authority of Death Monarch to divide the territory of the world

The world will know. Unless Death Monarch quickly returns back it would not be long before the news of Death Monarch disappear would e spread out all over the world

But amidst this uncertain atmosphere, in the forest where Death Monarch disappears, there is a mystical phenomenon that is happening. 

The wind howled, the time and space districted in such a great detail that the area seem to be twisted and crimpled like some kind of paper and then there is the sound of a rip.

It was space being rip and a tear like portal could be seen in the exact same place where Death Monarch disappears.

All the detection machine around the area recorded a spike of energy but before it had even the chance to transmit this information, these machines exploded in an instant. 

Hundreds of such devices exploded because of the overload of the detected energy. An oozing out from that portal of space is an ancient aura that makes all the forest near the space rip to withers.

lightsnοvεl Something is happening. Something dark. Something wicked. Something powerful

….

Sasha is in her room right now, sitting on her chair looking at the stack of memory cards on her mahogany study table. 

The Centre Palace has been renovated many times. And the newest renovation include even more rooms. And more palaces and castles 

As the world had expanded, so is the land and so the matter of land is not really a problem. 

And so, the area of the Centre Palace is expanded by ten times. There is even a river flowing and waterfall in the scope of the Centre Palace. 

The capacity of the entire Centre Palace could be field with a million people and it still has a lot of room. 

And as for facilities, there is now many luxurious room and apartments for the dignitaries and the officer to stay. 

And Sasha is given one of the most luxurious room in the Centre Palace. There is a mix of medieval design with modern and magical decoration. 

Sasha rubs her head

“He should give me a warning or something” but then she sighed. 

She shakes her head 

There is something that he did not tell the other people about Death Monarch disappearance 

And that is that she doesn’t think that it was voluntary on Death Monarch part

If it was voluntary, Death Monarch would tell her. 

And now, she had to think how to deal with the mess left behind

Pandemonium is not a small power. Its actions send signals to other. Bad or good, once Pandemonium did something, the other would also make a move

That is how big and influential Pandemonium had become. 

And for the past few years, Pandemonium has acted as the leader of the world powers. Sasha did not change much from what Death Monarch had envisioned. 

The world powers role is to maintain stability of the world, reduce war, protect the Earth from alien invaders.

That is the main role of the world powers that Death Monarch had laid out for the others. That is his vision

However, the reality is not as sunny as Death Monarch would like

Expectedly all of them will desire power and desire more influence and they might do some damage, but as long as they did not do something that angers the Heaven and Earth, does not jeopardized humanity and the world, Pandemonium is willing to overlook something for the sake of the bigger picture. 

But…that is the vision of Loki and her. Sasha knows that if its Death Monarch, he would not overlook things. 

He is the type of person that could not have a grain of sand in his eyes. 

This is why Death Monarch is not suitable to become a leader.

 He is too headstrong and stubborn. 

He does not know how to bend. 

He would rather break. 

Of course, Death Monarch himself was not always like this. 

Before the Fall and after the Fall, if one compared Death Monarch Azief and the person he was before the Fall, one would be surprised at the change of demeanour and would even think that it might be someone else. 

This is also the reason why Death Monarch usually left the governing and diplomacy of Pandemonium to others. 

The quality of Death Monarch is very suitable for cultivating his heart and becoming stronger. 

But becoming a leader especially to maintain relations and solve things diplomatically, Azief had to bend.

It is not that he doesn’t know. In fact, Azief very much could play politics and he would excel very well in playing it.

But he chose not to. Because the stronger you are, the more it is very important to follow your path.

Azief understood this and because of that his grand path is laid clearly in front of him. 

If he began deviating from his own heart and his own path, then sooner or later, that road that had been laid so clearly in front of him would be blurry and then it would be gone. 

Sasha knows Azief methods of governance but she has her own methods. To get the best of both worlds, she tries to compromise 

She did not meddle that much on the other world powers affairs unless that affair relates heavily to the safety of the world

And when it did relate to the safety of the world, Sasah would not hesitate to act

Sadsha remembers how she had to send a black squad to sabotage the World Government Split Reality Project.

That project could weaken the already sealed points of breaches of reality. When Sasha got the news, she sent a black squad to sabotage the portal gate.

Hirate of course was not happy and ask for her explanation. Her answer was simple

She only wrote two words

“Multiversal Convergence” And Hirate simply did not send any word to her anymore after that and decided to shelve the project. 

For now, at least. Knowing Hirate, one day he might restart that project again. 

The World Government is not the only world powers with some problems 

Sasha remember there was a time during her regency that she had to activate the sleeper cell in the Republic when the Republic wanted to drill to the core of the Earth to extract the energy in the core to power some supermassive weapons that they just had created

They believe that the core of the Earth had also changed and it also possess some kind of magic now and they believe that if they could connect the Earth core with their weapon, it would create a weapon that could even shoot the nearby planet and blow it up to the smithereens.

They play by the rules because there is someone who could enforce that rule. If Death Monarch is gone for a few years, the fear could still restrain them. 

After all, this is not the first time that Death Monarch is out of earth. In the previous event, he would return.

And each time he returns he would be even more powerful.

So much so, that when Death Monarch was buried in an ice mountain with Katarina, not many people believe that he is truly dead. 

And those who believe that is rewarded when Death Monarch went out of the Ice Mountain with Katarina and become Death Monarch. 

So, Sasha is confident that there is still room for peace. But that is before. Now it is different. The circumstances are very different. The world now is very different than the world before. 

Now, the world is vast, too vats and filled with more mysteries, with more energies. 

As long as someone could surpass the Divine Comprehension realm, Pandemonium could no longer sit on that high position 

And Pandemonium while it has its allies, it also has its fair share of enemies. 

Crime Alliance is only one of them and they are not even the most formidable. The friends of today could easily become an enemy of tomorrow.

And all of the memory cards on her table right now are all filled with all kinds of information from all over the world

From rumoured sighting, to whispers about some dark plots, all of it is included in these memory cards.

She sighed

“There is a lot to go through for today” She took the calming tea on the right side of the table and slowly sips it. 

The moment she takes a sip she could feel a certain kind of refreshing feeling, a cooling feeling that envelops her entire body and she smiles

“Sina is still good at concocting medicine” 

Sina is the one who concoct this tea. It gives her tranquillity and rest her mind putting her in a state of calmness. 

It is very useful especially when using memory cards. 

All of those memories in her mind could easily make her mind feel tired. 

There is also a chance that one would feel like their personality begins to split if they read to many memory cards.

Sina had open up a business selling Calming Tea all over the world. 

And because of that Sina has an abundance of energy stones. 

She is one of the richest people in Pandemonium because of her business. 

Added to the fact that he has quite the famous reputation, most people would rather buy from her or her acolytes when compare to other alchemist or healer

And the tea also have a function to help prevent from being overwhelmed by the memories in the memory card, allowing one to detach themselves from what they see and experience when using the memory card yet retaining the original thoughts, intention and desire of the user. 

Thus, the reason why the Calming Tea is so popular all over the world

“Though the name should really need a rebranding”
