Lord Shadow

Jean then turned his gaze to looks to the east.

On the other side of the world, he saw the Lotus Palace, surrounded by apparition of golden and white lotuses that is spinning over the sky of the Lotus Palace

Each lotuses seems to emanated a repelling force that forces the pressure to decrease.

There is a character writing in each of the lotuses. Of course, if you are not proficient in the arts of protection formations and arrays formation, it would be hard to see the character writing

White cranes flew above the clouds, eating the pressure.

It is clear that these white cranes are not normal cranes as it could even eat energies of the world. 

His Time Avatar appears outside of the Lotus Palace and he just nodded toward the Emperor of Wei.

With that nod, Emperor of Wei acknowledge that he would not do anything to him. Jean expected to see Lee Sangmin back in Lotus Palace.

But he did not see him. Of course, Jean had found out that Lee Sangmin is not alone

He had noticed that Warp is also with the Arrayist Sage.

He looks at another direction and he could that there are the core members of the African Alliance all seems to be using their artifact to try to resist the pressure.

And all around the world, such scene could be seen. 

Even though the whole world had become bigger, it is amazing that even with this size, Azief strike blast would be able to reach every parts of the world. because….it is Laws of the world.

Distance did not mean anything when you reached Divine Comprehension.

After all, a Divine Comprehension leveler could confidently travel the cosmos without fearing anything. 

Essence Creation leveler like the demon king is rare in the Universe.

Of course there is millions of Essence Creation levelers in the cosmos. 

But that is small when you consider that there are more planets than stars and there is centillion of life forms out there.

Jean uses his eyes and Time moves in his vision. 

His eyes are now envisioning the future, simulating the future with the least discrepancies after taking everything in consideration. 

He could see the extent of the damage that strike would affect the world if it’s not minimized. And all he could see was destruction. 

That is what he would see if he did not minimize the damage of the strike.

Life was cut off, and everything withers and death aura fill the world.

Of course, he also saw the blooming of life after that considering the fact that the energy would then be reabsorbed back into the Will of the world. 

But the damage affected many living beings and then Jean closes his eyes and opening it back, he is back at the current time

He gritted his teeth and said

‘I wish he would not make it this hard for me’ He knows what he needed to do. 

He closes his eyes as energy swirls around him and his hand.

‘Reverse. Accelerate. Away. Return. Stop’ this is the word that he utters.

Of course, the words that came out from his mouth is not the word of Earth. 

Instead it is an ancient word from an ancient language

But even when spoken, the meaning of it is transmitted clearly to those who could hear it.

It is like a universal language. 

Even if you do not eland the word, you could understand it. 

Jean himself did not know what language he spoke. 

He only knew that the moment he could control Time; he could speak this language. This language is none other than the language of the Etherna

And what he said is some kind of programing. He is programming time to move according to that set of orders.

Like some kind of smart contract

He raises both of his hand and then a shield appeared around him. These shields are glowing with purplish and green colors with matrixes design that intersected each other.

It was four shield in the beginning. These four shield cover four areas.

The four area is the west, north, south and east of the direction of the battle. He took the Time where the area is calm and undamaged and superimposed it on the shield.

He then waved his hand and the shield flew millions of miles away to reach the site of the battle. 

The distance between the shield and the site of the battle is merely twenty kilometers away.

And then the shield expanded as a string-like energy chained each other, creating a circle like transparent dome, embedded with Time and Space Laws

Jean become even paler but he had managed to create the shield around the area of the battle even as he could see a bubble of energy that is ballooning forward and is about to hit the Time Shield that he had created.

Jean created this shield so that the impact of the battle would only destroy the Shield and not the entire world.

With the kind of power that Azief is summoning right now, it might be possible for him to destroy one third of the world area.

Jean erected these four shield in a matter of seconds. 

But he did not stop erecting it.

he knows this is not enough. More shield appears all over the area, creating a double layer shield around the four main shield.

These shield is all having some matrix design that intersected with each other and circles each other. 

The scene is like the whole area of the battle seems to be covered with matrixes and these matrixes is merging with each other creating more matrixes and even morph into unrecognizable symbols that seems to changes the properties of space and time around it.

Jean then close his eyes. 

But his eyes could still see everything. Because as long as there is Time, and as long as he could control that Time, he could see through any place that have Time flowing in it.

His aura grew as green and purplish mist swirls around him from his toe to his head.

And from this mist, his Time Avatar were formed. Each of his Time Avatar is formed from Time energies.

There were all Jean and there are thousands of himself, floating in the air. 

And the moment they appeared, they immediately make their move. 

They all have their targets and the moment they take their first step, the space and time around them bends as they disappeared from the area.

Jean Law Avatar is still there, standing still like some kind of statue. There is no aura of Time around him as all of it was used to create his Time Avatars.

His Time Avatar had disappeared from that area of the Law Avatar and instead appearing in many places of the world where there is congregation of people. 

He appears at the Island of Peace and Hirate flew out from the Quorum buildings and stood beside him

He appears atop the Storm Tide and look at the man wearing the demon mask, the leader of the League of Freedom and erected pillars of time all around the four tortoise

The four tortoise roars like a lion and a powerful shield also appears around the four tortoise. Narleod only smiles and Jean only took a slight glance and then said

‘The Republic would send an inquiry about the device that you hid on the Moon’ Jean said without looking at Narleod

‘I’m prepared’ said Narleod 

Then they no longer talk to each other as Jean erect more shield around the South American continent.

The continent is larger than before; the Amazon forest has also become bigger. If one looks at all the life forms that have appeared in this continent and how the geographical position had changed, it would be hard to conclude that this is the South American continent

But, Jean could still recognize some known feature of the continent like the Amazon forest that is unique among all the forest in the world.

Jean also appears at the African Alliance Adroa River, the mystical artifact that would manifested a river that stretches all over from the Bandiagara Escarpment to the skies of the four direction

The moment he appears the Adroa River reacted to him and the power of the river is about to strike him down

But a person raises his staff and the killing intent from the river calmed down.

That river is the reason why they could withstand the earlier blast. But Jean knows this next blast of shockwave that is about to erupt would blow away the river easily

And then it would swallow the city whole. 

The Disk Formation might get out of this with some injuries but those in the Seed Formation realm would probably suffer grievous injury and the damage to the new continent would be unimaginable.

He appears and saw Kairu, the most influential politician in the African Alliance. Kairu had curly thick hair and large body, wearing a black onyx armor. 

There is wound on his face, with golden blood dripping down from the wound on his cheek and parts of the armor on the front had been crushed.

He is battered but he is still standing there being a pillar of support for the people that believed in him

Jean did not have to say too much word. 

The moment he arrived, the pressure around the African Alliance city of gold had its pressure reduced. Matrixes formations appears all around the city and relieved some of the pressure

Time slowed down and as such the particles that causes this pressure also slow down 

Jean Time Avatar look at Kairu and then said

‘I will borrow the River power’ Kairu nodded as he throws his staff toward him and Jean receive it.

The moment he holds the staff he could feel the mystical power of the river flows all inside him

‘I believe in your honor, Time Monarch’ Kairu said and then he sat down on the ground, and closing his eyes as he is healing himself using the energy of the world

Jean only smiles and began channeling the river power to help him created a large barrier all over the city of gold

A purple greenish dome covers the whole city and time inside the city and time outside the city seems to experience changes.

The river water flew into the air and shrouded the dome and then it hardens, creating a powerful barrier that is powered by a creation aura.

At the same time, he also appears in front of Katarina. He just suddenly appears from out of nothing.

He looks at her and he smiles a bit

‘Ice Queen. Beautiful as ever’ he thought to himself.
