Lord Shadow

Azief…honestly don’t know. Is loneliness the price to pay to stand on the top? He could feel it too these past few years.

He had improved by leaps and bound after his meeting with Azul. His eyes were opened to more and more secrets of the Universe.

He felt he is the only one in this road.

When he looks back he could only see a few people that is also walking the same road as he is. But the people he loves and the people he cares about was all behind him, far and almost like a mirage in a desert, unclear, trying to reach him.

Sometime he asked himself. Is he abandoning those people, or are those people abandoning him?

Is he walking too fast and they stopped because they could not follow, or is it because he walked too fast and those people, no longer wanted to follow?

He thought of this matter and he could not help feeling some kind of loneliness. He was used to loneliness. But in the past, that loneliness was not that intense as it is right now.

Because now he knows how to feel. If Sofia problem is that she feels to much then he had the problem of not knowing how he feels until the last moment.

As he walks forward and father than anyone else, he become something else. He is not a wolf. Alsurt once joked that he is Fenrir.

A harbinger of destruction and Enders of All Life. Because at the time Azief was trying to kill his feeling.

Only be being heartless could he survived. And the World Ending Wolf is heartless as it is merciless.

Alsurt once ask him if that kind of path is worth it?

At that time, that was the only path that Azief knows. But now, he knows better.

He is not a wolf. He never wanted to be a wolf.

Azief… was more than a wolf. He is even more than a lion. He is not the dragon that sails the clouds.

He is the heaven because he decides so.

This is the world which only the strong survived. To have the right to do anything in this world, one needed to abandon the feeling of weakness.

One needed to transcend common sense and common feelings. That is what Azief once believed.

But he is no longer.

It is the same reason he hated the World Government. Creating a nest for humanity, restricting their choice to choose who they wanted to be is why Azief despise the World Government.

When someone reached level 10 and if they are the citizens of the World government their growth and development will be decided by the World government.

However, people still flocks to the World Government.

Why? Because they offer protection and a nest. To Azief that protection is a cage.

And the people of the World Government are all birds trapped in a large cage. It is no different that the heavens above Azief head.

No one knows how many times he looks up at the sky and itch to have a battle with the Heavens.

After he saw Azul his desire to contend against the Heaven grew. Each time he looks up at the sky above, his eyes seems to be challenging the Heavens.

The more Azief walk his path, the more he felt that he transcends worldliness. Heartless and merciless.

But it also makes him feel like he is slowly becoming less and less human. It was then he met Azul.

The more he experiences the lives in those sabers that feeling of humanity slowly returns. Six lives and six emotions

It is enough for such a magical experience to evoke feelings and sentiments.

And then he saw Azul. And by talking to him and seeing him executed his spell, a new road had shown itself to him.

So, he jumps lanes.

While the others still following that old lane, he notices something. So he quickly jumps lane. He did not want to follow the path of heaven.

The path of heaven is not like many people believe. It is not merciless. It is looking at all things as equals.

And looking everything as equal it is no wonder that the Heavens views human lives as straw hats and dogs.

Because everything is equal under its eyes. And as such it appears merciless and without compassion.

Azief body is full of the Heavens energy but he himself is not the Heavens and he does not want to contain the Will of the World.

He challenges the Will of the World and he had won. He did not want to usurp the Will of the World.

He only wanted to prove that his Will could take some of the space in this world and show him his Grand Path

His Will could even overpower the Heavens

He defies Heavens because he doesn’t want to be merciless and heartless. If he reveals his thought people might be thinking he is spouting abstract nonsense but that is not the case.

He knows it. To cultivate the Path of the Heaven, one had to watch all things as equals.

One had to lose many things. And those things he had to lose, is something he could not do without.

So, he chooses another path. Azul chose his path because of his anger and regrets. Azief chose his path because he doesn’t want to lose what he already had.

From the beginning till the end, Azief did not change. He is still greedy as he is before and as selfish as he is before.

He wanted everything and he would never let go the things that is precious to him.

And even though it inconveniences him, it is when that selfishness arises from his heart that he would get up and despite that inconvenience he could even defy the Heavens.

He is as selfish as it gets. Sacrifice someone he loves for the greater good? Fuck that. Give an equal trade for an equal power? Fuck that too.

He will not give anything and he would not be sacrificing shit

He did not care about people mocking him. Because honestly who dare mock him right to his face unless they are tired of living?

He selfishly going to do everything he could to protect everything that he had. He would not even give an inch.

That selfishness turns into an obsessiveness and that obsessiveness turns into a Will.

He wanted to roam freely on the vast earth and laugh at the Heavens, like a carefree immortal traversing the starry rivers of the Universe.

So, today he would confirm one thing. Is the Heavens…truly eternal?

Then as he thought of this, something seems to open itself inside Azief mind.

He could feel some kind of energy in his soul. It is unseen, and could not be sensed but it is there. It is something that seems to grow.

It could be strong but it could also be weak at times. It is Willpower.

And the whole world now moves at the normal pace. Azief broke from his contemplation as he could feel a qualitative change is happening in his soul

And his eyes are glowing with bluish color and seem to contain the vast universe inside it. And he smiles widely

His eyes could see it.

The energy all around the world flowing and ebbing like a wave. In Azief eyes it is manifested as a string. It is connected to everything in this world and bind everyone and everything

It is gentle at times but it can also be hard.

For a fraction of a second Azief was awe in amazement as he sees the world like this for the first time. It was absolutely breathtaking

Then he remembers what he wanted to do. And he began looking, his eyes seem to be searching something, his Divine Sense right now expanded to the whole world as he focused his senses to seek for that energy.

He then senses it and look upwards, his eyes look challenging and his face has a smirk.

And he saw a thin string that seems to want to recede back to space.

That thin string is about to merge with everything, once again encompassing the whole world and act as its Will.

Even though it is thin, Azief could see the enormous energy that thin string possesses. It has a certain divine aura about it that make people wanted to submit.

But Azief could not care less as he felt a little different than the others when it is his turn feeling that energy

His Defiant Heart seems to not care about that aura and even seems to despise and disdain it. It seems to envelop the entire world.

Azief wanted to laugh as he looks at that thin string. It is probably thick in the beginning but after attacking him, it has turn into that thin string.

A thin string that seems to hover in the world that only Azief could see but possessing such bright and powerful energy that it seems to fill the world with colors

‘Is that the Will of the World? Is that it?’ Azief ask himself, with his tone look like he is mocking the Heavens. And he laughs

It seems that the Will of the World is eager to leave. And an evil smile surfaced on Azief handsome face.

How could Azief just let it go like that?
