Lord Shadow

For a moment there is silence in the room. Not a silence of the mouth, but the silence of the minds

The thoughts of some of the Old Ones are clear

“You fear the Three Fates would listen to the Olympians?” the moment the Old One from Yara thought of this, different thoughts echoes in his mind.

And he nodded

“You fear Borgan”

“You fear she has something else hidden” the other thinks about some of the matter that is happening before and when they investigated it, they could see that there is a hand guiding certain things

Imagine their surprise when they discovered that hand seems to be a hand that should not exist in this era.

A hand that should have been destroyed.

It is not the first time that there is interference from others. Even interference from another time in many of Orvanians plots.

But this is the first time, a hand that should have existed…..exist.

There is nothing more terrifying than that

Who could have imagined Borgan power to reach beyond the Veil?

One could not help but wonder, how much she had seen and how much things she had prepared before the annihilation of her race?

Planning things spanning eons, spanning countless of lifetimes.

When one think about it, all of these schemes and intrigues has never been revealed before. It gives the Orvanians chills just thinking about it.

Orvanians is no stranger to playing chess games spanning eons.

When they planned things, they could plan things for eons.

They would put a stone in one spot, knowing that one day that stone could roll down from a slope and kill someone.

A chess player doesn’t kill with their own hands.

They use the situation to kill people.

“The crystallization of Etherna knowledge. Isn’t that what the Child of the End is learning now. His own what do you call it? Fortress of Solitude?”

“What’s that?”

And the Old Ones began reviewing their memories and they view their memories of all the timelines and parallel worlds and finally got the reference.

There is such reference on Earth and there is also Azief own Fortress of Solitude in Earth Two.

It is not wrong to say that the Fortress of Solitude that he referred to is the most apt description for Azief crystal like palace holding the knowledge of Etherna

No…it is the most perfect apt description

It is nothing unusual.

Every intelligent race, once they have a medium to communicate would create a way to make sure knowledge could be passed down.

Of course, there are some civilizations that did not pass down knowledge.

Most of the time, this is because the knowledge is too dangerous to be passed on or passing it on would mean the corruption of certain orders.

Some knowledge has the power to corrupt people just by knowing it.

But most of the time, mots civilization would choose to impart and pass on their knowledge so that the future generation would learn from their triumphs…and from their mistakes.

Etherna had never have the desire to pass on knowledge.

That is because they do not die.

And not dying, they have no urgency to pass on knowledge.

And everyone could learn just by looking at their parents.

But when Death appears, when the first Etherna dies, there is anxiety.

Some of them probably thought that they should pass down their knowledge.

When the threat of extinction is clear, the wise among the Etherna probably have a feeling that they could not understand

The desire to pass down on legacies.

Only with death comes urgency.

And only with urgency….and pressure you can broke through higher.

Etherna was perfect.

Hence…there lies the imperfection.

Perfection means the end point. It means the end of potential.

Borgan…she is one of the most clearheaded people in Etherna.

And she probably seems more than anyone.

Forging the ten rings…. the Orvanians have always suspected that Borgan has played a part in that.

The only thing Orvanians lacks is proof.

Legacy…that is the greatest gift that Borgan has given to that child

Borgan hand has reached out from the past to affect the present.

How many years had she planned and how many years she had seen?

Haven’t you wondered?

Why did she not appear the last time but appears now?

Did she also foresee that the Omniverse would reset?

Then that begs the question.

“We didn’t see that. But if Borgan sees that….one must wonder, what else she had seen. And whether her endeavors have a chance to succeed. And if it does…. should we also change our plan accordingly”

Borgan.

This Etherna…. they thought have completely perished

All of them thought that she had scattered into a million pieces, becoming the road of clairvoyants all over the Omniverse.

It is the path that the Three Fates walks. The guide of the Norns, the Oracles, Apollo and many others that uses the ability to see the future.

Those who sees the future, all of them see through the Eyes of Borgan.

Some see it as a Veil.

Some see it as a portal.

And some see it as a door.

But whatever they see it, it shows them the future, past and present.

“before it was the Multiversal Convergence. We bombed a lot of the rift and breaches and because of that it did not attack the entire Omniverse into it. But now, there is a ripple. And this ripple echoes throughout all of the Omniverse. Those breaches, those rifts…. all of them are fragile. A bit of force and it would be ripped off”

“What should we do now? There is a lot of them that would be coming to us now. The Time Lords and the Watchers are low priority. But Odin aid…. should we aid him, mediate or do something else?”

For a moment all five of them are thinking at the same time. And they all share their thoughts with each other and it did not take long for them to reach the same conclusion

“We will help Odin”

“This is a rare opportunity to have some information about the River Master”

“Who would we send?” one of them ask at the same time, the four others reached the same answer

“The Source Guardians”

“we need to negotiate with them. They guarded the Source Wall. Will they go there?”

“They owe us. At least one debt. They owe us for that matter. They will go. And we will go to”

“The Source Guardians is just there to defend us. Not to fights against River Master. Nobody could fight the River Master”

“Odin ask us to help him. Not to fight the River Master. Unless Wargod lifted his seals, even he could not defeat the River Master. What they are trying to block, is only His hands”

“River Master…. we hold no fantasy of fighting against Him. But we are capable enough to stop His hands. Odin and Wargod wanted to stop the hand and we could handle a hand”

The other four nodded and then like they had rehearsed, they all disappeared from the room.

They are back in their Star Abodes and they began relaying their orders to everyone.

Orvan is making their move!

..

Pandemonium.

Wild uproar, unrestrained disorder, tumult or chaos.

A place of such scene. Utter chaos, riotous uproar.

That is the meaning of Pandemonium to those who cares looking for the meaning.

Many people believe the reason why Death Monarch named this place such, is because of how this place was formed.

Before Pandemonium become what it is today, it is Australia.

Death Monarch flew to this continent.

At that time, Australia was not a peaceful continent.

Most of its inhabitant were dead in the first two weeks.

All of the urban cities were ravaged in only one week.

It is a land of the dead for humans.

But for monster, it was paradise.

Everyone joked before that Australia has all the deadly creatures.

And after the Fall, that has never been truer.

Some of the already weird and terrifying insects and animals in Australia also evolved with the All-Source energy giving them magic.

Most original Australia that managed to survive was out of the country at that time or those who quickly made decision to leave Australia at that time.

It is a land filled with monsters.

Death Monarch arrives here and cleans it all up.

Of course, while he did clean it all up, it did not mean he truly cleans it all up.

Some were left behind.

Those who were left behind were either too powerful for Death Monarch at that time or too weak to offer resistance

This place was never meant to be a nation, or a kingdom.

Not even the World Government at that time have plans to occupy it.

There are too many monsters in that continent at that time

And there are many difficulties of that continent during that time

not to mention the weather system that is uncertain at that time

Even Death Monarch at that time had never planned for him to take root in this place.

But sometimes, the greatest invention comes unexpectedly and without intention.

He cleared the regions and people came, and when once news spreads about the pacification of the regions and the thick energy in this land, more and more people came and as more and more people came, the more the news spread and before anyone knew it, there is villages and cities.

But all of them knows that the only reason why Australia was like that is because Death Monarch was there to prevent the monsters from coming

And then…the rest of it is history.

Everyone believe that the name Pandemonium came because it is such a place of riot and chaos.

But to those who had learned about the conversation between Death Monarch and the Celestial Couple, they would know that the closest guess was that Death Monarch take the name from Paradise Lost.

The capital city of Hell.

All Demon’s Land
