Lord Shadow

Those who were not affected by this slowing perception of time in this world is probably only those four beings. 

There is Azief that is slashing down his sword. 

There is the Demon King that is watching in shock as the sword coming down towards him.

There is Jean shrouding himself with Time Shield. Even though he is far away from the battle, Jean knows distance is just an illusion for people of their powers.

They could easily bend space and time to render distance meaningless.

To a powerful being like the Demon King and Death Monarch, their battle would overwhelm the world

He could not help much. Even Hikigaya only had been able to strike only one attack before he had to retreat

Hikigaya had already disappeared turning into gaseous substance after pushing an illusion into the Demon King head.

There were many things that happened before Azief swung down his sword down. 

There was that missile that nullify Laws around the Demon King, enabling the perfect situation for Hikigaya to come out and uses his Illusion laws to make the Demon King susceptible to attack.

If not how could someone who just broke through to Divine Comprehension could send an illusion attack towards an Essence Creation creature?

there is also the feat where Azief breaking the horn of the Demon King furthering the weakening of his powers

There were so many calculations that happened during the fight that those who were not fighting in that battle would not understand. 

The high level battle between beings like Azief and the Demon King is this kind of battle. 

It appears like they just swing their fist and show off their destructive power when actually there is more thoughts put in each and every actions.

A few second before Sina arrived at that area, Azief hold his sword and look at the Demon King

And then the sword moves.

Azief entire body right now is swirling with purple aura that seems to possesses some kind of primordial power of creation.

The sword was swung down and destruction reigns over the world

Life was sucked out from the world. 

Enormous life force surrounded Azief entire body propelling Azief power from Essence Creation level prowess to almost the middle realm of Essence Creation 

The sea creatures that comes from the other world and the sea creature that had existed since the Fall below the ocean where Azief is floating all turns to husk of bones before turning into ashes 

These creatures had even managed to withstand the boiling of the oceans and the sudden freezing but the moment that Azief swing his sword, even before the sword reaches its target, it killed all of those creatures

When those creatures were killed, their energy, these invisible strand of energy nourished the world.

It is the same principle when humans killed monster and got EXP during the early periods of the Fall

On the other side of the world, all people are kneeling on the ground. They did not do it out of respect or fear. 

They were pressured by the tons of molecules of pressure that is descending upon them from the sky.

Those who could stand amidst this pressure is only those who tempered their body to the peak perfection. 

On a continent far away from the area, there is a woman that is standing, trying to see the battle using her Divine Sense.

This woman is the strongest woman in the world, Katarina the Ice Queen

She also walks the path of perfection and as such, Katarina could stand

She is a stubborn woman. 

But she is not a stubborn idiot. 

She did not fly again to Azief. Because right now, she knew, if she come, she would not help.

Instead she would distract him. Before, she was not confident that Azief could defeat the Demon King. As such, she did not mind sharing difficulties together.

But…now she is confident that Azief could defeat the Demon King. So she did not come. 

How could Azief not fall in love with such selfless woman?

Most people only stay with you when life is good. 

Katarina however stubbornly wanted to stay with him in his most difficult moment. 

Because it hurts her heart more to see him in difficulties than it was seeing him in happiness. That is why, she did not say anything when Azief chooses Sofia.

Yet, the moment Azief was in danger, she once again come to him, like a moth drawn into a fire.

Whoosh! A cold wind blows and it blows toward Katarina who could see with her eyes how the ocean suddenly turns into ice.

The surface of the sea freezes over.

The world become cold all of a sudden and while this would be a problem to the others, it would not be a problem for her.

Snows falls around her as there is ten patch of clouds above her head that is producing snow. And it slowly falls to the ground

Twelve snowflakes floated around her. It is small at first but then as the snow gathers around these ten floating snowflakes and seems to be absorbed into it, each of the snowflake grew bigger until it is the size of a ball.

Katarina took a step and instead of moving forward, she moved upwards.

One of the snowflakes flew under her and positioned itself under her feet as she steps onto that snowflakes and floated there 

The pressure of the world that is pressing down on her seems to have no effect on her whatsoever. 

Her eyes are shining bright and her long hair seems to waves elegantly, like she is enjoying a windy day

This is probably why people called her not only the strongest woman in the world but also the most beautiful woman in the world.

These twelve snowflakes floated around her and each of the snowflake is pointing in each of the twelve cardinal direction. 

The coldness around her were all absorbed into these snowflakes and as the coldness of space also come down from the torn apart space, it was also absorbed into the snowflakes as her aura is growing at an unprecedented rate.

Her eyes are shining white and the patch of clouds multiplied. She is charging her energy. 

She knows she could not come near the battle area. Because she could not help from there. But who says she could not help him from this distance

Yes, Katarina is still that stubborn woman. Just not stupid. 

She looks at the sky and there is a smile on her face, hidden by the snow that is falling.

Then she raises her sword and she pointed it toward that place.

She could not see him. But she could feel him. The place where the most concentrated energy in the world is right now…. that is where he is now.

So, she pointed her sword there. The twelve snowflakes merge into one and then t turns into a sharp icicle. This sharp icicle is small. The size is like the size of a normal branch of a tree.

But…it seems to gather a powerful cold aura of the world.

And then she thrust the sword forward. That icicle then shoots forward with the speed of light as it pierces through all the waves of energy and is heading toward that Demon King

At the same time, Katarina thrusted her sword, somewhere in the secret place in Pandemonium, Sasha is looking at the monitor, seeing Azief swinging down his sword.

At that same moment, she pushes the button on the interface and from the twin towers of the Centre palace, the middle of that twin towers suddenly morph into a metallic surface. 

These metallic suffrages then shoot off electricity against each other and created some kind of an enclosed trapped environment for energy. 

In the middle of that twin tower a ball of light that seems to be crackling with electricity suddenly materialized.

All of this takes only a few seconds. And then that ball of light shoot toward the coordinate that was inputted by Sasha in that secret room taking the shape of a bullet

At the same time Azief swing down his sword there were many people, reclusive expert that did not show their faces, people; who knows Azief personally, people who did not what this world to experience another alien occupation, all of them help him in their own way.

Thousands of people bonded by the same desire unleash their attack.

These attack flew out and headed toward the Demon King!
