Chapter 820: The time monarch (2/2)

And one of the effect of the strike is it is healing the world.

the fabric of reality is slowly being stabilized again. Jean now might have more powerful control over Time and Space but it did not mean he could do what he just did before.

Because he had had taken advantage of all the factors he had been able to bring back the dead.

He looks at the city and look at the faces of those people who look at the sky with astonishment and awe and some kids were opening their mouth wide looking at all the thing that is around their city from the colorful gigantic flowers outside their city, to the large forest that seems to be the height of twenty skyscraper lined up vertically that their shade covers the land from above.

Some saw the sight of the remains of the battle but they did not understand how and when did that happen.

One could imagine that these people that Jean had revived were that like some people who were sleeping and then when they got up and look outside their house, they could not see the villages that was only a couple of miles away from them

They could not see the familiar tree that they would rest upon, they could not see the familiar scenery that they have seen for countless of years.

What they see was something else entirely and that would surely bring confusion to them but maybe because they tried to rationalize it, no one seems to be asking any question.

They look all around them and they could see mountains that they did not recognize, large trees that could cover up an entire nation and the unbelievable scenery of the Heavens being so far from them.

It was like at one moment the close their eyes and their whole world suddenly changes.

This kind of feeling is hard to describe.

Before when people look at the sky above, even though they felt it is high, they never felt it was unreachable.

But now, seeing it fills one heart with such feeling

The entire city did not have any bleak scenery like before. There is no corpses of children and old people all over the streets and limb scattered around the streets.

The streets itself is clear and clean unlike the street that he had walked just a few second ago

There is no destroyed building or screams of a mother shouting the name of their child, or the sound of a child crying for their parents.

They were only surprised, astonished and weirded out by the experience.

Jean smiles a bit

'At least…it is not pointless' he could only console himself like this. He knew that everything that lives also had to meet their end.

He knew that death is very normal. Time is after all one of the instrument of death

He could accept that fact in his mind.

He was prepared to lose many of his friends and he was prepared to see the death of millions when he saw the locust like demonic army descending down from the sky

He had been ready for it…in his mind. But when the tragedy strike, Jean had find out that he is no longer that ruthless Emperor of France.

He had known kindness and he had learned kindness. And once you feel how warm it is being covered up by kindness, it is hard to go back to being that ruthless again.

It was not that he become soft.

When he is dealing with an enemy he could still be that ruthless person that cow Europe into submission in the past

But he could not be as heartless toward his people. People he believes that is under his protection.

He was born and lived around the streets. He knows all about the darkness of the world

His sympathy is borne out of the same pain.

As such the more he understands the pain, the more he empathizes. Those people that died in the city, is his people.

And so, he could not just be as heartless as he is when he is dealing with his enemies. There is a reason why his army in the past would not hesitate to follow him into death.

He sympathizes with these people and mourn their death and felt pity for them and the impetus of that feeling had enable him to become a Divine Comprehension.

He wanted to turn back time. That desire was so strong that it could not be contained and in that moment of clarity, he broke thought and gain control over time for a period of a moment.

But a moment is all he needs to create this current situation

He had done his best. Their lives…. could be considered a gift from him for showing him his Grand Path.

And now, he is tired and exhausted. It is quiet fortunate that he is now in Divine Comprehension as his energy is quickly recovering.

If not, he could never bear that expenditure of using so much energy like that

He then looks toward a certain direction.
