Chapter 714: The seven seats (2)
And there is three of them which represent the Three Giants of the World power. The World Government, the Republic and Pandemonium, the top power of Earth.
As to symbolize their influence and power over the Earth, their seats are the largest and also the most intricately designed.
The World Government had a throne with a fixture on top of its throne of a globe representing the world.
Sitting on that seat is none other than Hirate the Mind Master, looking bored out of his mind.
He looks at Narleod on the other seat and he could sense the malice that Narleod hold for him.
He frowned and then clicked his tongue.
He never understood why Narleod and his organization keep targeting the World Government. And he hated the fact that he could not read Narleod mind.
He has some device that block his mental manipulation. He believes that it is because of the Inventor Ezio.
One of these day he would get his hand on The Inventor.
If not for the fact that The Inventor had so many backings from so many people, the World Government might not find it hard to capture that one insignificant person who is not even in Disk Formation.
He only sighs and look at other direction and he caught the gaze of the Emperor of Wei. It is clear from his gaze that the representative of the Lotus Order is looking at him.
‘hmm’ he muttered to himself.
Across the throne of the of the World Government is another throne
The other throne shows a sun, shining on three directions. This throne belongs to the Republic and the sun shining on three directions representing the three highest office of the Senate
Sitting on that seat is a man who burly and muscly, Boris the Beast King. He did not appear anxious.
Instead he appears to be apathetic and it is clear from his expression that he did not like to attend this meeting at all
He then looks at Hirate and Hirate look at him. They look at each other and then they nodded at each other.
Hirate probably transmitted something to Boris and Boris probably agrees what Hirate had transmitted to him.
This slight gesture did not escape the eyes of the other that is present in the room.
Even though, they are all the representatives of the great powers of the world, even among them there is differences and with differences come conflict.
The new four great powers foundation is not as sturdy as the Three Giants of the World and as such they need to ally with each other and this is the impetus of the Three Giants allying with each other and the four new great powers allying among themselves to withstand the pressure of the Three Giants.
And then there is a dark throne.
Out of all the throne in the room, this throne is the largest of them all.
Along the top of the chair there is leered dragons, each one swinging their folded tail toward the central seat of the throne for the throne itself is a three leaved.
The center is the seat and on the other two sides is decoration. And in this dark throne is empty.
It has always been empty. One could even see the dust that has collected itself on top of the seat.
From the beginning it was constructed, until now, no one dares sit on that throne.
Even Loki when he attended the conference with the other six great powers in the past did not fancy himself daring enough to sit on that throne.
He would construct another throne for himself to represent Pandemonium. Though, instead of not daring, Loki probably is being respectful. He was after all at that time was only a Regent
Yes, that empty seat belongs to that lofty person in Pandemonium. This meeting that is convened by the other Six Great Powers did not invite Pandemonium.
It is not out of spite but out of protocol. Pandemonium had broken the Laws in the Article.
And as such, they forfeit their participation in the conference until an appropriate response is meted out
‘Anyone would like to say anything?’ Nunurai ask. There was silence and then he asks again
‘Anyone?’ Narleod then held up his hand
They all look toward Narleod.
Hirate look at him and snorted. It is not a secret that both the League of Freedom and the World Government hated each other and schemed against each other in the dark.
If not for the fact that the World government would raise universal condemnation by attacking League of Freedom, Hirate might have attacked and try to destroy League of Freedom openly.
The other great power representative all look toward Narleod with attention
The reason why they look toward Narleod is because he as the leading authority of League of Freedom had went to the Arabian Sea riding Storm Tide to look at the damage that sword from Heaven had inflicted
The Order of Thinker tried to look at the event using the Eye of Heaven but then decided against it because they did not want to offend Death Monarch
As for Hirate and Boris, they knew the other four great powers had always try to undermine the powers of the Three Giants.
They did not like Pandemonium very much but they also recognize that they are also the part of the world order and in the pecking ranking, their three powers are up there on the top.
And the World Government and the Republic did not want to break the current status quo.
Narleod saw the expression of Hirate but he ignores it and then narrates what he saw when he arrives at the Arabian Sea. He saw the few that was not directly hit is still dead.
Bodies probably fills the bottom of the sea. He had seen and look and verify Death Monarch thought.
However, Narleod did not tell a few facts that he had discover like those who died, most of them are all members of the Crime Alliance.
He also did not tell the leaders of how other people were transported out from the archipelago by Death Monarch one wave of his hand
One that does not know Narleod, might think he is exaggerating Death Monarch brutality.
But he did not do it for him. He does it for Death Monarch. The reason is because Narleod is an astute person.
If he told the conference that Death Monarch save people, then that is a weakness that one could exploit.
He doubts that Death Monarch would be very happy with him if he told the leaders of the world that he had save people even when he swings that sword.
And there is also the fact that now, he knows the weakness of Death Monarch. Death Monarch is not as heartless as he appears to be.
That is why he ride Storm Tide and went to the sea first. That is why he covers up the fact that Death Monarch did not kill everyone on that island.
And it is also why Death Monarch allowed him.
Narleod had notice a gaze when he arrived at the Arabian Sea.
Even though he could not be sure one hundred percent, he was confident that gaze is from Death Monarch, looking at him from above.
The fact no sword is coming down when he was sailing the sea to watch the archipelago destruction is a form of consent from Death Monarch
Narleod had learned the price of offending Death Monarch. He once paid with his arm. It is not a pleasant experience.
If he makes another mistake, who knows what body parts that Death March would ask for payment.
If he asks for another arm, he would not be reluctant. But what if this time he asks for his head. Unlike other body parts, he still does not have the ability to regrow his head.
Though, he knows some people that could regrow back their head, Narleod doubts that if Death Monarch cut off his head, he would still be alive.
If there is one thing he knows about Death Monarch, if he really wanted to kill someone, that someone would not be alive.
And Narleod is not someone that wanted to tempt Death on a daily basis. As long as he did not get his revenge, he must not die.
All the people around the archipelago which Death Monarch had cut were all members of the Crime Alliance. Some of them were already turned to dust by the time he came there.
And even though the sword was no longer there, when Narleod was there he could still feel the sharpness of that sword.
It is something that is akin of a will that stay there even after Death Monarch was gone.
He saw how the Will of the World trying to repel that damage that was inflicted to that part of the world. But the progress is slow.
It also confirms the suspicion that Death Monarch had reached Divine Comprehension. After he finished relaying all of this information, he sat down on his chair and cease talking.
He waited to see what the others would do. He also had his own scheme that he wanted to try against Pandemonium.
