Lord Shadow

Chapter 427: The first step (2)

Truth be told even Loki don’t know what is the tribulation of the Supremacy Stairway.

In his era and the era before him even in the era of The First Sovereign he never met someone who have walked the Supremacy Stairway.

Those that did walk those steps eons ago.

He then thinks about something else

He got the report from Shinji that they spotted Katarina in Pandemonium.

When Loki receive the report he could only sigh.

He too hoped that in this timeline Katarina would survive and probably has her own happy ending.

If there is one thing he wanted to prevent, to change it off course from the determined events, it was none other than the War of Sovereign.

It was a terrible battle. It could be considered a civil war between Sovereigns and in such battle of titanic figures, how many lives become collateral in their fight?

Death God Azief at first did not participate in the battle. He even had advice Katarina to not enter the battle.

There is of course a behind story of why he was late on returning to Earth and miss the opportunity to save Katarina.

And when she died, her essences fuse with the Universe and even her soul fused with it so Death God Azief could not even resurrect her.

Even if he did resurrect her the one that will be revived is not her.

It was her death that prompted Death God Azief to enter the war and with his participation it become a one sided battle with him taking the lives of the Twin Sages of Japan Oreki and Hikigaya.

In that timeline, they rarely interacted with each other.

But in this timelines, how many times have Oreki helped Azief and even in that clash against the Heaven Oreki and Hikigaya both came to his aid.

The relationship between the eventual Death God and the future Twin Sages of Japan is clearly not as distant as in his timeline

The wish of seeing Katarina survive is not wished only by him.

Sofia also hope she survives.

Because after her death Sofia said that no matter how she tried to convince herself that Death Monarch truly loved her, she would never know for sure.

After all, how could she fight with a dead person locked inside his memories.

She also wished that she survives.

He sighed as he walks outside the throne room.

Now that Death Monarch is leaving, he appointed Loki as the Regent.

One might see it as the sign that Death Monarch while did not like what Loki did during the matter of Pandikar he still trusts him to saddle him with such a big responsibility.

Truth is, it is because Azief knows Loki would never do something that would harm him and at the same time he hoped the task of managing Pandemonium would slow down whatever plans Loki had.

Azief did not know what Loki is planning but he knows Loki would do anything to make sure he becomes stronger.

Even now, Azief still didn’t understand why Loki is so intent on making him stronger when it was him that was, as Loki said it, destroy the Universe.

And he always knew Loki to be talented in allocating resources.

After all he has his own secret forces all around the world.

Of course Azief just assumes this because of the many secrets that Loki had under his sleeve.

Loki also could guess the real reason why Azief put him in his position. He smiles bitterly and then said

‘A good move but nonetheless insufficient’ Loki said to himself as he smiles and walk away

As Loki walk out of the room, on the streets of Pandemonium the feeling of the people looking at their Monarch departing fills them with fear and uncertainty, sorrow and sadness.

This phase after he is gone would probably the hardest time that Pandemonium would have since its founding.

But since Azief had strengthened the formation, unless a Pinnacle Divine Comprehension leveler or someone who walks the same path as him come attacking, it would stay unbroken.

That alone could be considered an unbreakable shield. And there is still the agreement on the Article of Distribution.

Many of them kowtowed to that figure on the staircase above the clouds, all feeling this uncertainty of the state of the world.

That is the effect of Death Monarch.

From the moment he was dubbed as the strongest person in the world, the matters of the world revolve around on what he would do.

And the whole world watches in awe at that figure.

Even that person was silent as he looks at the sky. Void look at the sky and the majestic sight of the stairway seems to fill his heart with desolation.

Then he laughs

‘I’m going to wreak chaos when you are gone. If you die, then I guess that’s that’

While some people hope that the Death Monarch would never leave, many of those that hide in the dark watches at the stairway amidst the cloud and is waiting impatiently for Death Monarch to take his step forward and go away from Earth.

It is their chance to see the sun again and come out to the world again.

Even though the Broker, the one that put together the Crime Alliance is reported missing, the Crime Alliance is stronger than ever.

After all the force that they had to face is none other than Death Monarch and they have no choice other than to band together

Regardless of one intention, wishes and desire, they all look toward that stairway, waiting for that one step forward.

Unknown to the people of Earth, out there in the darkness and the vastness of the Universe there are also many eyes that is looking at Azief.

One of them sit in a red throne on a sailing broken star.

His eyes look nervous as he watches Azief as he wished that he would succeed the tribulation.

This person of course knows about the Supremacy Stairway as he was there when it was first created.
