Chapter 712: The rumble of thunder (1/2)
Silence reigns all over the world, yet still one seems to hear the rumble of thunder and people who are wary look at the sky, and they pray
Death Monarch returned and the Six Great Power of the world began to move. The movement of the world portend an ominous sign.
From a dawn that did not came and the sudden break of afternoon everything pointed toward something ominous.
Those with great power felt the disturbances of the forces of the world. Time and Space were distorted, the day reversed into night and Laws of the world was manipulated.
The Eye in the Antarctica fixed its gaze to Pandemonium, the eye opened without closing like it fears to miss something, Storm Tide went out to the Sea and the Arrayist Sage stand guard at the walls of the Lotus Palace.
Time Monarch Jean came out from his Room of Clocks and the undisturbed Quorum Council door was opened.
The red sword on the foot of the Ice Mountain where the lofty goddess of Ice left that sword was finally once again wielded and the dark alley of Europe tremble in fear.
And who knows what the other power did after sensing that power and seeing the reversal of day and night.
But everyone knows why these unmoving titans suddenly moves
It is because the world was shaken.
The return of one person shakes the world and moves the seas and land.
Because that one person is Death Monarch Azief. The name itself is resounding all over the world and with each step he takes, the world shakes.
The seas were suddenly calm, the pirates hide in their pirate cove and they did not dare make any raids, waiting for the opportune moments
The Crime families all over the world halted their trades of weapons and new world drugs.
They look at the sky. And they look at it fearfully. It was like the black robe of that person covers the whole world and the eye of ”that person” is looking at them from above.
It is not a pleasant feeling to know that someone could watch all of your movements. Those who could hide, hide. Those who could not, try not to stand out too much.
The world welcomed the day after that person returned with mixed feeling.
It seems after Death Monarch return back to Earth and swing his sword down from the Heavens, he went to Pandemonium and did not go out.
And for a moment, the world could breathe easy for a while. They wished ”that person” would stay there and not move too much.
When titans walk the Earth, mountain would get flattened and seas would get stormy. As such, they did not wish for ”that person” to walk too much.
It would be better if ”that person” would stay in Pandemonium like always. Nobody wants to be the odd one, fearing that they would get noticed.
But on the second day, the Six Great powers began to convene in an emergency meeting between their leaders.
And the world is once again shaken
The story is reported in the White Owl news the moment the meeting was convened. All kinds of birds fly all over the world to spread the news.
If that is not enough, even in the dark places where criminal families hide their tails, the spread of the news is even faster
The White Owl had upgraded their services and it is easier for people to get their news from them
Nobody knew how the White Owl got the news and how they infiltrate the security of that meeting but they spread the news all over the world.
Anyone with any desire for self-preservation would always pay attention to the currents of the world.
When the citizens of the six great Powers read the news, they were all anxious of what their leaders would do.
These six years was peaceful for the most parts.
In some region there is war and there is bloodshed. But one could say there is no large scale war and no large scale of destruction since the Article of Distribution was drafted and signed by all the great powers.
By forbidding the participation of Disk Formation leveler into the battlefield and its strict enforcement it reduces unnecessary slaughter and collateral damage that would resulted in the attack of a Disk Formation leveler.
It also reduces the damage to the world since Disk Formation leveler could control the energy of the world.
All in all, there is balance and peace. And peace is good. They fear that the fact six powers are meeting and excluding Pandemonium would lead to a war.
And a war with Pandemonium, with Death Monarch in its helm is not a war that even the citizens of the six great power have the confidence to win.
For the other six great powers residents they acknowledge the sayings that experts are in abundance in Pandemonium.
Almost all the high ranking members of Pandemonium are all in Disk Formation.
The three Great Generals of Pandemonium, Athena, Freya and Wang Jian is also Disk Formation leveler not to mention there is still Sofia the Divine Archer, Sina the Genius Alchemist, Will the Golden Speedster, Loki the Trickster, Shinji the Swift Sword and probably many other hidden experts in the Shadow Guards.
And with Sasha the Nightingale returning with Death Monarch yesterday, that added another expert in the already formidable lineup of defenders of Pandemonium.
Most of the people that is in Pandemonium is hardy and resilient people.
This is not hard to deduce. To reach Pandemonium itself is a hard task for most people.
There are seas around that continent and when there is an ocean to traverse, there will be sea monsters around it.
For most experts of course they could fly through the sky or swim across the oceans or for some people who have bravery they could sails through the oceans with their ship.
But to most people who did not pass Energy Disperse Stage and still manage to come to Pandemonium, that itself is a proof of determination and tenacity.
If the Six Great Powers wanted a fight with Pandemonium, it would be a war that is not easy to win.
If it was easy to win, they would have attacked a long time ago. And with Death Monarch in his throne, it might be possible that if they went into war, they would lose.
Even though there is no longer any protection formation on the seas of Pandemonium, they still don't have the confidence to fight head on with Pandemonium because there, sitting on that highest throne in Pandemonium, that lofty God clad in darkness is watching.
That alone is enough deterrence
This is because history has proven again and again of how Death Monarch always remains victorious no matter who his enemy was.
It was proven many times with the clash between e Death Monarch and the World Government.
He even fought the Heavens and won. Then if that is not enough, in his weakest moment, dozens of assassin tries to kill him.
And even then ”that person” did not die. It created the image of Death Monarch invincibility in the world. It is why people called him the strongest person in the world.
That title is not some underserved title.
That is why in the six years when ”that person” is not on Earth, every time there is rumors that Death Monarch is already dead, people would ask many question
If he is dead, where is his body? Who killed him? Where did he die? How did he die? Is there any witness? Who told you that he is dead?
If there is no answer to these question, they would treat that rumors as only passing wind.
