Lord Shadow

The world did not know yet that a Demon King is about to descend to Earth and is still in jubilant mood after Death Monarch had kill the invaders

Europe was cleansed by that one strike from Azief. 

And following that, the most beautiful woman in the world, the Ice Queen Katarina flew forward to the open sky as her maidens try to follow her from behind, leaving a trail of coldness all over the trail

And as Katarina flew chasing Death Monarch trails of energy, behind her, is her brother.

The beast horde of the beats King Boris was dispersed after the battle ended and Boris did not waste time as he jumps into the back of a griffin and commanded the griffin to chase his sister up there in the sky

To those below, those people who did not yet reach Energy Disperse Stage, the fast speed of movement of these people that soar through the skies like they were in land look nothing more than like a flash of lightning or a falling star. 

Their eyes could not see across the distance so some of them even thought that there were stars falling and traveling across the skies.

‘Stars are chasing each other in the skies’ some kids that come out from their house when the battle ended and saw those lights up in the air

To those people, who come from other world and did not know what world they came into, when they look at the sky and saw stars chasing against each other, they are reminded of many myths in their worlds where there is always a story like this where some goddess did something and was chased either by their suitors, by their brothers or by their father to be punished or sealed away.

They would not know how close they are to the truth

Maybe a hundred years from now this event where Boris chasing his sister in the sky riding his thunder elemental griffin would be immortalized in some mythical origin stories of some natural phenomena.

The Senate however was in a state of shock. 

They were just about to ask the High Chancellor and the Chancellor of the Right about what they should do next but the High Chancellor suddenly disappeared from the sky of Europe in a blinding light speed and the Chancellor of the Right rides a griffin and chases his sister.

The Senators look at each other and one of the more prominent Senator coming from Turkey. 

It is Usman bin Ahmed. He is a hotshot in the Senate right now as his forces control most of the area around old Turkey and slowly taking control of what used to be the territory of the Ottoman Empire. 

He is quite an aggressive man and possess quite the ambition. 

Probably the reason why the Chancellor of the Right prefer him very much to look over Asia minor

But clearly with this round of change to the world, things would also change

He quickly said

‘Establish contact with the other regions. Direct the rescue effort to the worst hit areas. Quickly send our drones and survey the world. get the lay of the land. Then we could start making the next move’ 

The other Senator nodded and quickly bring out their communication device and those who have direct contact with the bureaucracy of the Republic quickly contact the other body of the government

One Senator however come close to Usman and he raised his eyebrow. This is one of the prominent Senator in Belgium. Usman notices him and said 

‘Ah, the slave of Princess Elisa, Charles’

‘I am not a slave, murderer’ They look at each other and smiles a bit as they hugged each other like long lost brother

‘Old friend. Glad to see you survive the battle’ Usman said. Charles smiles a bit and then his smile turns bitter. Usman could sense the shift in the mood and said

What is the problem?

‘The Chancellor of the Left’ Hearing this Usman frowned.

‘Where is he?’ Charles sighed and then said

‘The balance of power in the Senate would tilt toward him right now’ Around them the sound of explosion could still be heard in the distance and the traces of destruction is still clear in many parts of the city.

But Usman ignore all of these. 

His expression is very hard right now. The words that Charles had said is basically saying that the balance of power in the Senate would tilt toward Jean.

It is not hard to deduce since they are standing on the opposite side of Jean

Politics is not something that people that live high up there in the Heavens care. 

But for people like Usman and Charles, the politics that those that were so high up above disdain is their way of survival

Death Monarch had never cast his gaze too long to those underneath him. 

Many said because he had many more things to do. But most people felt that Death Monarch simply disdain to gaze upon them.

Existence like Death Monarch that seems too otherworldly did not care about the politics of his administration. 

Because of his power and influence, his word is the decree of the divine. Other than him, not many people have such influence or power in the world

That kind of administration would only fly in Pandemonium and not like the other great powers in the world

Even Raymond who was acknowledged as the strongest in the World Government had to follow the order of the Quorum before mobilizing the resource of the World Government. 

And so is the Republic. 

The Republic is even more confusing especially if its according to the value of those people living in Pandemonium

People living in Pandemonium follows a very simple principle. You listen to the strongest among you. 

These mentality seeps deep into their new culture that even in the military unless you could prove yourself to be powerful, then people would never follow your orders.

The same could not be said for the Republic. 

The Senators and the people of the Republic always debated about whether the Ice Queen was stronger or the former France Emperor, Jean was the one who is stronger?

Jean and Katarina had never clash with eat other simply because they did not need to and it was unnecessary for them to fight

There is always a faction in the Senate and it is not something new. 

The faction of the Chancellor of the Right and Left is famous factions but even in those factions there is more mini factions

In the Senate, theoretically Katarina hold the most power as the High Chancellor. But in reality, it is Boris that is holding that power.

Katarina is usually secluding herself in ice mountains and practicing her abilities and improving her strength.

She lacks a presence in the Senate. 

But Boris while he holds the most power in the Senate that does not mean he could act like a despot. 

After all, there is still Jean. Everyone in the Senate had always speculated the true power of the Time Monarch.

No one seen him in battle and no one have ever seen him unleash all of his ability but many believes that even if he fought against Katarina, it is unlikely that he would lose.

Whatever the case, Jean possess a lot of political clout in the Senate and most of his faction won the resources of the Republic because of Jean powerful clout in the Senate floor.

Usman did not want Charles to beat around the bush so he said

‘What make you say that? Charles then whisper something in Usman ears and Usman hearing the news whispered in his ears, his eyes opened up widely.

He then understood why.

‘Shit.’ That is the first thing he say after hearing the news that Charles brought him.

A few minutes before, something happens on the other side of the European continent.

There was someone else that was also affected by Azief cleansing the European continent and that was Jean the Time Monarch. 

Jean is now standing on the ground of the city that he had protected.

There were a lot of people that get saved because of him.

But there is also a lot of people that have died because of the multiversal convergence. His face is solemn and his expression is hard

There is benefit and disadvantage of the Multiversal Convergence. The benefits are of course that the world suddenly enter another period of great energy revival.

It is one of the worrying thing that the Great Powers had been thinking for the past couple of years. 

It is why some of those who were powerful cultivated outside of Earth trying to find a world that is dense with energy so they could breakthrough easily.

The probe, become worse as more and more people level up. 

The projection of energy recovery could not accommodate for the growing of people leveling up stronger and stronger

It is not like in the beginning where leveling up is easy and could be done in a few days after solving quest or killing a monster. 

With the appearance of many powerful people, these people could easily kill these monster with one wave of their hand or one strike from their weapons.

While this would help the world from suffering monster horde attack it also monopolizes the EXP of these monsters to those who were powerful. 

After all people who had reached Disk Formation did not need the EXP as it is small chump for them but that is not the same for those who were in low level. 

Yet at the same time, the low level people could not kill such powerful beast depending on their ability.
