Lord Shadow

The portal opened and then it closes and the disturbance ended

At the same time that Azief uses and draw the power from Heaven Will, someone hidden in the dimension of the world was alerted. 

His gaze looking at what had happened is very complicated

This person was crowned the Second Sovereign and his throne is near the core of the Earth and he had always been trying to see who is the one using his Heaven Will when he first senses it but to no avail.

‘Hmm. Is it you?’ this person spoke and the world seems to be experiencing mini tremor as he spoke.

To those of the same level, they could understand his words. 

But to those who is not the same level as him if they heard what this being said, all they could hear is the sound of roaring winds, and the sound of angry rushing of oceans waves.

Because when he spoke, nature responded. He is Earth itself

The Will of Heaven was entrusted to him and while he had full control of the Heaven Will, his predecessor also possesses the full control of the Will. 

Even after decades, he could not remove the First Sovereign trace from the Will of Heaven. And he had already stopped trying to.

Since he created his own Will to try to contend with the Will of Heaven. This person is none other than Raymond the Earthshaker

Raymond clearly felt disturbed by the sudden use of Heaven Will that escape from his grasp

He was perplexed on why suddenly the Will of Heaven moves and gathering all kinds of Laws. But he had sense the presence of the First Sovereign, the God of Life and Death.

Hence, he did not try to investigate. 

But, he felt something was wrong. 

He did not know how to explain his feeling of premonition so he went up. 

He went beyond the sky to see the flow of energy flowing on Earth. He frowned and then he returns back to his throne and began thinking about it. 

‘You are scheming?’ he asks to no in particular. 

The one that could answer this question is not on the Milky Way galaxy right now, so his question could only fall into the emptiness of space around him

He is only thinking but all kinds of phenomenon are happening on Earth right now as the consequences of him thinking. 

When he creased his eyebrows, the tectonic plates of the world seem to be wrinkled, tremors fill the world and mountains shakes like someone is shaking it left and right

When he rubs his chin, the plate tectonics of the world seems to rub against each other spewing gas from beneath the earth to the surface.

On the sea, storms are forming and on some part of the sea that was calm, it suddenly clouded with dark clouds and thunderstorm. 

Beneath the ocean, sea creatures felt a tremor that shakes the bottom of the sea. Underwater volcano exploded and the eruption causes tsunami on some parts of the seas.

Raymond rarely thinks since he is in the throne. Because, when he thinks, the world had to think with him and bear the effect of him thinking. 

And as such, the world will be wrecked by all kinds pf phenomenon. Sitting on the Divine Throne has never been easy. 

For a few decades now, Raymond has been trying to tame the Divine Throne so that he could do things normally without causing such an effect to the world. But today, he must think and he must remember.

Slowly he remembers something. Something that he remembers before, but forgotten a second later

The First Sovereign was not on Earth right now. Then who could use the Heaven Will? Raymond is angry. 

He is angry because his thinking is slow. 

He slammed his hand on the throne and the entire world experience great shaking. Earthquakes could be experienced on almost every part of the world. 

At some places, hills exploded into dust.

Some other experiences avalanche from the snowcapped mountain. 

The only mountains that did not have such avalanche is the mountain where that woman with the red sword resides.

Building and powerful structure that did not have any precaution on such earth quake, crumbled almost instantly. 

Some active volcano erupts and its fire soar up toward the sky before falling to the world like a meteor, burning forest and jungles around them.

Raymond stopped thinking. The world become calm again. He shakes his head and decided to forget. 

He slumbers again on the Divine Throne and the world all felt the calmness of Earth once again. Storms started disappearing, the earthquakes started to settle and dark clouds parted away revealing the sun and the moon.

The Divine Throne is silent and Raymond slumbers, as the trees became his eyes and the Earth exercise his will on the world.

At the same time, in the Senate, a person inside a room filled with clocks had long noticed the sudden use of the Heaven Will. 

He looks toward the area, his gaze seems to pierced through all the solid obstacle and it was like he could see almost everything

But when he wanted to see who was causing all of this matter, he could see nothing. His gaze was blocked by the power of the world and even if he forces it, he would be able to break through that obstacle.

He then smiles a bit

This person is none other than Jean. 

‘Hmm. So, that is how it is’

Nodding he said

‘It is him’

A few decades later, the battle for the Divine Throne will commence once again. Raymond had shown signs that he would be relinquishing the throne after his one-hundred-year reign.

It is also because the Prohibition of Sovereign would also be lifted at that time

And in that upcoming battle, it is widely reputed that the top two contender would be him and Katarina. And he is already half step Sovereign.

Katarina and him both are preparing and been trying to gain more insight in their Laws before that day comes.

When he senses that will of the First Sovereign and then remembering that He is not on Earth right now, Jean remember something that happened on his past.

In the past, he had tried to stop Death Monarch, the title that the God of Death had use in the past from doing something that would affect the world

At that time, the God of Death and Will the White Speedster opens up time and Space portals leading to the future. 

He failed because of Azief

Jean had always wondered where those two had gone off.

The climax of that event had always remain vague in Jean mind. 

He remembers what happens to the God of Death and Will the White Speedster but he didn’t quite remember what happens next. 

He doesn’t remember who take responsibility for that matter. And that is weird in itself.

Because that matter opened up the portals through other world and nearly created a complete Multiversal Convergence

The matter is also hundreds of years in the past. So, Jean did not quite remember. 

But that in itself is suspicious. How could Jean who had reached Half Sovereign level had a hard time remembering things?

It was like there is some force that is blocking him from remembering things in that period of time. 

It wasn’t until today, that Jean realize that he had forgotten this part of his memory. If not for today events, he might have not remembered of such events in the past

Jean frowned and then he takes a step forward. 

The Time and Space around him curved and he appears outside the room. He is inside a forest surrounded by tall trees that reaches the sky

All kinds of birds with colorful feathers fly around the forest and around the cubed structure of the Room of Clocks.

He looks at the sky and he seems to try to peer through the heavenly secrets. The Heavens has always been the territory of that person. 

And the Earth is Raymond. Heaven Will is a different story.

The more he looks up there in the sky, the more he frowned. He shakes his head, close his eyes for a second and then opening it back up a second later, he takes a deep breath and said to no one in particular

‘is this your dark hand orchestrating thing from the background? Is it that fun to play with the life of mortals?’

The wind blows his robe and no one answers.

Jean now sees some clue. He believed right now that the matter surrounding that event was turned into a heavenly secret by God of Death during his time a Sovereign

Only the power of Sovereign could change the memories of everyone in the world regarding that event. 

It wasn’t until now, that suddenly a gush of memories enters his mind.

And that memory was the memory in which Jean had tried to investigate the matter before. 

And now he remembers something.

those who live during that era, all remembers the aftermath but not the result of the aftermath. Who was the one held responsible for that even happening?

Considering the Great Power, they surely must have someone to answer for that matter? Why could he not remember who? 

In his memory he did not remember that God of Death and that Speedster were ever punished.

No one was held responsible for that matter as far as Jean remembers. But that in itself does not make sense. Creating such a global catastrophe, how could no one be held responsible?

Someone must have taken the blame? Or maybe a scapegoat that Pandemonium had arranged.

But why couldn’t Jean remember anything that happen during that period.

The memory is as vague as trying to find his way in a thick fog.

The more he tries to remember, the vaguer the image of the memories became and the more contorted his memory become

Jean believes that there are some secrets in the past that is worth covering up by designating it as some heavenly secrets.

Or maybe this is a scheme of the First Sovereign. Who knows? After Azief become the Sovereign his move is always mysterious and seems like he was preparing for something

But today, some of that secret is revealed. It was like the moment that the Heaven Will was activated, something triggers in Jean minds

One of the other things that bother him in the past, is where did God of Death and Will went to. 

Today, he finds out. It is because of that he did not move. This era might belong to Raymond, but no one forgets the Glorious Era of the First Sovereign.

As such, Jean did not make any moves. He took another step and time and space curved for him and he appeared once again inside the room of clocks.

Smiling bitterly, he looks at the glass on the marble tiled floor of his Room of Clocks. Looking up he could only watch as many of his clocks stopped and break.

‘There is something that happened in the past. Something you don’t want to know. But the more you don’t want me to know, the more I wanted to know’ 

That is his first thoughts. He waved his hand and the Room of Clocks seem to return to the same condition as before.

The glass repaired itself, the pointer hand of the clocks appeared back and everything is clean and neat inside the room

He then looks at his clock that keep ticking a beat slower than it should be. A few moments later, the ticking sound all synchronized and only at this time Jean smiles a bit

‘It is him in the past. I wonder whether that Ice Queen would realize it? And what about the Divine Archer? Is she still waiting on the Flower Mountain for him?’
