Chapter 1088: Turbulence all over the world (2/2)

The only reason why they never break out in conflict before is because Hikigaya still have the faint hope that Hirate would listen.

There is also the reason that Hikigaya alone could not protect the island nation with all the great powers that would surely take advantage of them if he did not sit under the shade of the powerful

But the moment Hikigaya break through to Divine Comprehension, he probably knew that he now had the ability to protect the island nation without fearing the other great powers

And Hikigaya knows that Azief would not attack him without any reason and the Republic would also have to respect him.

Even though they have Jean as their representative of greatest personal power in the Republic, Jean had always act according to his own personal belief

It is hard to move him. As such, under all of this condition, Hikigaya inanely made the choice

Azief could see the thought patterns of Hikigaya easily. Strong people does not like being under the thumb of others. And Hikigaya patience was wearing thin even before he breakthrough to Divine Comprehension.

But at least Hikigaya kept his promise.

And Jean is right. This is the internal matter of the World Government. There is no need for them to interfere in it too deeply

Jean continues his word

And they do not join the Lotus Order or any of the other Great Powers. They are now free force'

Jean sighed a bit and said

'Well, considering that Hikigaya is probably only below you and me, he had the qualification to remain independent from the World powers' Azief eyebrows raised as he looks at Jean and said

'You think you are stronger than Hikigaya?'

Jean smiles confidently and nodded

Azief only chuckles a bit and simply said

'Do not underestimate the abilities of that man. Illusion and reality subverted, this is a terrifying ability'

Jean shakes his head and said

'Well, I am not so bad either. At least I did not need you to breakthrough' Azief understood Jean meaning. He helped Hikigaya cross that last hurdle.

In terms of understanding and foundation, between Jean and Hikigaya, Azief do not deny that Jean had the advantage

But it is not entirely dependent on only this. The laws that Hikigaya comprehended is high tier laws that touch upon the concept of reality itself.

Azief laugh while nodding

'Well, you are not wrong'

Jean then said

'The faction of both Hikigaya and Oreki had also retreated from the World Government and the Emperor of Japan stripped the title of Shogun from Hirate. While that would not affect Hirate much, it doe snow affect his standing in Japan. I guess it would not be long before Hirate would be a persona non grata in Japan'

'And as far as I know, Japan is now ruled by the forces of Hikigaya, Oreki and the Emperor forces. But I do not know the full details'

Azief sighed and said

'It is a time of chaos. But soon, I hope all the people would calm down. I…...don't want to make a move'

He added

'That would add even more chaos to this already disorderly world.' Then he looks at Jean and said

'Advise Hikigaya. Not to go too far. The world need unity right now.'

'You don't know him the way I do. He is a man that values effectiveness.'

Azief went silence for a few second and then sighing he said

'Just remind him not to go too far. The World Government collapse would not bring any good to him either. A vacuum of power would lead to great changes to the world. And I think Earth had enough change for a while. It is not good to bite more than you could chew.'

Jean nodded and said

'I think I could make him compromise. I know that he does not like Hirate. But I don't think he hates him enough'

Azief shake his head

'You and I both know this is not a matter of like or dislike. This is a matter of power and influence. Like and dislike had nothing to do with it. Even if Hikigaya likes Hirate, if he had enough benefit to destroy the World Government, then who is to say that he would not do it?'

Then Azief ask a weird question

'Did he take an oath to protect the World Government after reaching Disk Formation?' Jean was weirded out by the question but then he finally understands what Azief was saying
