Lord Shadow

His entire veins are all bulging and on the verge of exploding. And his body is wrecked with pain that causes him to tremble all over

Especially the trembling is really bad around his arms. 

The side effect of holding something so heavy that it drained him of his Law.

It felt like he had not eaten and had not drink for thousands of years and the tiredness of that causes him to tremble like this

It is lucky that he still has controls over a few of his Laws as these Laws refine the energies around him and healed him

Most of his laws had dimmed after that last attack. He looks at his ring. He did not dare to use it at that time. 

‘Am I too paranoid?’ He thought to himself.

He come closer to the corpse. 

He saw as the corpse of the Demon King is leaking energy as his body slowly disintegrate. The energy fills the whole world with vitality as it is being refined by the All Source.

Rain fall down on the other side of the world and even in the area, the clouds that was destroyed during the battle is forming back

And then natural thunder and lightning occurs as the clouds turns dark all over the world and then rain drops falls from the clouds.

It started raining all over the world

The rain is very heavy. It is like this rain would rain until it fills back the area of the dry sea.

Azief nodded and thought to himself

‘The Will of the World has become smarter’ With this rain, the problem of the sea water level decreasing would not be a problem anymore.

Azief was alone in that area. All around him Time Distortion happens. It created image that distort the true Time of when he is fighting the Demon king

People who come to the area would see a mirage that he is just about to use his second slash, when in actuality he is already finished with the battle.

Azief could dispel all of this Time Distortion with the swish of his hand. But he is not in his top condition. 

So, he did not do anything. He is just trying to find a clue. Of the reason why, he is feeling this unease.

‘I have won. But what is this feeling?’ He mutters to himself.

Azief objective have been fulfilled. 

He wanted to kill the Demon King to atone for his mistake. 

With the death of the Demon King and the energy that the Demon king possess it would help Earth Prime from having any insufficient energy source for a few decades

In this decade, people could easily break through to other stages like in the beginning of the Fall. 

It did not excuse for the mistake that he had done, but it at least lessens his guilt. He then suddenly felt the pain coursing through his body.

Argh! Azief shouted as he clutches on his head. His head seems like it is being smack on the inside.

He falls down to the ground, his knees slammed down and causes the entire area to be depressed by three feet

Web- like patterns appears on the ground. His hand skin burst out and golden blood drips down from his palm.

His finger felt like there is electricity coursing through it, making his finger to felt like it is suffering from some kind of static. And it is not a good kind of static.

He then clutches his chest as he felt that his chest contracting. This kind of pain is different than normal pain. 

The pain is clearly on his chest, but that is not where it originates. He begins taking deep hard breath and his back is sweating

This is normal human reaction. And that is itself is abnormal for Azief.

His entire body seems to be pressured by a powerful force. And this force is not only powerful, it is also mystical in nature.

Azief felt like he is turning into a mortal.

He had suppressed this pressure before but now that he had relaxed his guard down, he is once again pressured by it.

‘No’ he thought to himself. It is not because he relaxes his guard down. It is because it could not be contained any longer

Using such power that overtaxed him to the limit, how could there be no side effect?

A few of his Laws dimmed. And he lost control over those Laws. Not only his Laws is unusable, he now felt like he is regressing to become a mortal

Azief understood it at once.

‘Six Path of Reincarnation and Rebirth’

This is why he felt like he is experiencing a baptism, turning him into a mortal. The Mortal Trial.

This is one of the effect of the mortal trial. He is experiencing the Six Path of Reincarnation and Rebirth in the form of backlash for overusing the energy in the Wheel

Azief could feel that there is instability in the world inside the Wheel.

The Wheel of Reincarnation and Rebirth has always been mystical. 

Even through Azief could summon it, even he did not understand it fully. 

The power that he could draw from it and the backlash from it all remains a mystery. 

Even now, that he had reached Divine Comprehension realm, there is still many abilities of the Wheel that he still did not have access o

This time he had reached Divine Comprehension and he had many more features of the Wheel opened up to hm. When he summons the Wheel and the Wheel arrived, all kinds of information streamed in his mind of how to use it.

His mastery of the Wheel depends on his level. If he reached Essence Creation, then there would probably more feature of the Wheel that he could use and control.

Azief coughed again, this time he is feeling the pain on his lung.

This damage is not inflicted by some physical attack or some physical weight. 

It is the weight of millions of Laws embedded in the Wheels itself and the many worlds in that Wheel.

He had once felt this pain before when he had summoned it in the past. So, he was not surprised with the pain.

He looks at the Wheel above his head and he knew he needs to unsummon it. The Wheel had done its job and it is time for it to return. 

Azief slowly muster his strength and the energy of the world gathers around him as he sucked it into his body like he is some kind of a gigantic black hole as his face quickly regain back his color

The pressure is not as bad as when he was in Disk Formation. And he had more ways of minimizing the pain than before

He smiles a bit.

‘At what point would I be able to use you easily?’ he thought as he looks at the Wheel. 

He then closes his eyes and his mind is now connected to the Wheel. There is something that he needed to check.

He once again appeared inside the world inside the Wheel. And when he appears, he did not only appear in one realm.

He appears on all six realms, appearing like some kind of immortal deity, shining with golden halo and golden light.

Inside the Wheel, he had become the Lord of the Six Path. His eyes see everything, his ears hear everything and nothing could hide from him.

He was worried about something since the beginning he used the Wheel.

‘Where is she?’ he thought to himself and it only takes him for a second to find what he is looking for.

‘There she is’ Azief gigantic form had trained his eyes on one person inside one of the Six Realms.

It is trained on a woman. Sithulran. The gigantic worlds inside the Wheel shows the six path of reincarnation.

And the tribulation and temptation that one had to overcome to reach awakening. Azief nodded at himself as he confirmed that Sithulran is still inside the Wheel.

Azief connection with the Wheel had enabled him to enter the Six Path of Reincarnation freely and even affect some of the life forms inside it.

Azief himself did not yet understood what kind of existence living inside the Wheel. 

Most of them are souls. But Azief could not simply said this is like the Netherworld. Since, there is also life force inside this Wheel.

But Azief is connected to the Wheel. 

As such, he could see the worlds inside the Wheel and even control some parts of the operation of the world inside the wheel. 

It is how he became the Lord of the Six path in the Wheel when he fought the Demon king inside that artificial world inside the Wheel.

If not for that roar, Azief could destroy the Demon King soul inside the Wheel and cast his soul into the Six Path of Reincarnation and Rebirth 

He looks back at Sithulran in one of the many worlds in the Six Path. 

She is in the Mortal Trial. Who knew how many times she had reincarnated to become a mortal and who knew how long she would stay there in the Mortal Trial?

There is no ending in this endless reincarnation and rebirths. She must step out of life and death, to see through it to be awakened. And who knew how long that would take?

As long as she is not able to cast off her obsession, she would enter be able to escape the Wheel. 

This is the person Azief had wanted to seek in the Wheel. Azief had never forgotten that in his Wheel, he had sealed Sithulran.
