Lord Shadow

Earth

While Azief is walking on the steps of the Supremacy Stairway two years have passed on Earth.

Since then a lot of things had happened. The seasons changed and people move on

But that scene of a stairway coming from the Heavens to invite Death Monarch is still vivid in the mind of everyone.

It made many people think and seek for more strength.

Other than that, The Seven Great powers that controlled the world have slowly pacified their region one by one.

Out of the Seven Great Powers, the original Three Great Powers is still undoubtedly the one deciding the rules and rule the world with their might and authority.

They are still regarded as the most stable power in the world.

And war is rare nowadays with mostly only internal war broke out and they are usually did not created mass massacre like before.

Battle still happens between people and secret societies but full scale war between faction rarely happens nowadays after the establishment of the Seven Great Power.

And rarely there is a case of experts in the level of Seed Formation and Disk Forming to enter any battle since their participation would mean thousands of casualties and also the eyes of the Seven Great Power trained on them

And if the other side also deployed their experts then that means they would lose a valuable fighting force for humanity

Unless one had a great debt of vengeance no one would deploy an expert on the level of Disk Forming to fight in a battle or allowed such battle to happen.

Of course they are exception in this case in the matter of sparring or to resolve a debt of life and death.

Instead many of these experts seclude themselves trying to attain higher mastery in their energy control.

Two years have changed the world and some semblance of peace had arrived. There is still killing and there is still death.

Some people grew strong and some people were left behind. Some people broke down and no longer walk their path, and some gritted their teeth, persevere and keep walking on their uncertain path.

Monsters are still rampaging on some parts of the world or swimming under the Deep Sea and there are still people that prey on the weak.

But it is better than before.

There seems to be some order and peace and in such environment, population thrive.

Death Monarch and the other large figures that ruled the world all believe that humanity should increase their population.

And the new people that was born into these new world will live with new rules.

At the same time humanity now, and like always managed to hang on to that hope of a better tomorrow and survive.

There used to be concern of overpopulation before the Fall but now each Great Power wanted their people to procreate and increase their population.

The one that does not need to worry about this is probably is only Pandemonium, The World Government and the Republic.

People flock to go there because they believed in their strength and their ability to protect their people.

The cooperation between the Seven Great Power while it does happen, it happens rarely and when it does happen it usually happens because some people tries to break the rules in the Article of Distribution

However, when all of them put their mind and resources to it, they could accomplish great thing.

Last year, with the joint cooperation between the Seven Great Power, they created a military base station on the moon.

It serves as a lookout facility for extraterrestrial activity near Earth and Milky Way galaxy in particular

The Weronian Invasion and the Sithulran disaster have made humanity open their eyes to the threat beyond the stars.

And the Seven Great Power have all come out from their days of chaos and become the rallying point for humanity.

In two years a lot of efforts were made from the new four rising powers to pacify their continent, to put down the rebellious faction and any other undesirables entities that could threaten their rule.

While Death Monarch did announce those four great powers and gain his approval and the other Two Great Power of that time, this does not mean that all people of that continent would agree with what Death Monarch decree.

And Death Monarch himself knows this and he probably doesn’t care.

If the organization or faction that he chooses to ruled that continent is incapable of ruling and get overthrown, then that simply means that organization is not worthy to begin with.

Death Monarch gave the throne away to other people and the throne is heavy. And if you can bear it, then you are a true Monarch.

If you can’t, someone else will take that throne from you.

Death Monarch is not a good person. But he is not entirely an evil person either. He is just a person that sometimes makes mistake.

The only thing that separates him from other people is that when he makes mistake the effect of that mistake would affect billions of people.

But if that pressure could bring him down, then he could not even make any decision. He did not want to decide how humanity should go and what path they should walk.

Because even he doesn’t know the answer to that question

Is it good if he forced humanity to become strong, deciding the lives of millions just because he think he knows the right answer?

No.

he doesn’t know and that is why in the end he gave them a choice.

And now the choice is in their hand s and if they wanted a different choice, the only thing they can do is to rise up and fight for what they believe is right.

It is contradictory.

He did not want to impose his will unto other but yet he still imposes it on others and hoping that maybe he makes the right choice.

Even now, he still doesn’t know what the path for humanity to walk on. Should they all be forced to get strong with all the new threats that has opened up since the Fall?

Or should he let them happens naturally and by happening naturally it means to do nothing.

Or should he be the guiding hand of the people, forcing them to listen to him because he thinks he knows better?

He knows what he would choose and that is why it is better for him to not rule.

People think Death Monarch is not interested in power. Loki understand that was not the case. If that was truly the case, then why he keeps searching for strength?

Yes, there is that desire to sue that strength to protect the people he loved. But to protect the people that he loved he need power.

And Death Monarch knows himself better than some people give him credit for.

He knows the temptation of power and he knows how he truly wanted it. He likes power and what it enables him to do.

It is because of that, he never trusted himself with power. The Article he had written has become some kind of Constitution for the Seven Great power.

Some people recognize that the moment someone broke the balance that Article would cease to be effective and as such there are some people that want to keep the world balanced and some people wanted to break that balance.

There is a lot of plans in the Article.

But Death Monarch knows that not all of his plans would become true. There is an element of chaos in his planning and he embrace that part of chaos in his plan.

He had his own set of rules. And he wanted to be virtuous and kind. But weak men can’t be virtuous or kind.

That is the simple truth. Some people think they are being kind when the truth is they are just weak and have no claws.

They mistake themselves, thinking that they are kind because they do not kill or hurt other people.

It is not that they did not want to, it is they are not capable to. Some people could kill and hurt people and choose not to.

That is kindness.

Death Monarch did not admire weakling who think themselves good because they have no claws.
