Chapter 1131 - The Number One World Power IV (1/2)
When one is living inside the history themselves, they did not know how big of an impact their decision, their choice would be for the future.
Azief then shakes his head, throwing the thought about the cube from his mind. Instead he once again thinks about tomorrow
Tomorrow would be the sixth day. That is the limit that Jean could hold that portal time fluctuation before it returns back to its original flow.
There are all kinds of feelings when he thought about tomorrow. Since he had no certainty whether he could win, there is this feeling that he is walking to his death
In the past he mighty gets scared.
But after countless of time he brushed with death, he felt numb to it.
It is not that he had become fearless of death. It is just that he is accustomed to it. It is not that he did not appreciate his life, it is only that, he knew he could not live with himself if he did not try to save Katarina
Azief had always regarded the safety of his life as the most important. But there were a few times he would ignore his own survival.
It is when someone he cares for in in danger.
As he grows stronger, he also grows lonelier. There are few people that could accompany him and even chase after him
When eh reach this level, he grows to appreciate such companionship even more. And Katarina?
He owes her too much to ignore her plight. All of the problem on this Earth could be resolved easily if only Death Monarch refuses to go to the Seresian world
If he delayed it for a few years, then Azief could probably raise his strength and fight the Demon King and win.
To some people, Death Monarch going to the Seresian world, a place where the Demon King has all the advantages while Death Monarch himself did note experience any leap of power is a stupid and a suicide mission
To them, if Death Monarch wanted to just preserve his reputation he just has to say that he would avenge Katarina.
To some people, the reason why Death Monarch is so anxious to save Katarina and even make such agreement with Jean is because he did not want to be labeled as a coward or heartless
Everyone knew how many things Katarina had done for him. Everyone also knows how powerful the Demon King is
But he insisted on going to the Seresian world, without giving himself time. How could then the people of the world had confidence that Death Monarch could go into the Seresian world and be victorious?
The best thing that could happen is that Katarina is still alive and was not harmed.
But this is the best scenario.
The worst scenario that could happen was that Katarina is already dead and the only thing that is waiting Death Monarch on the other side is a death trap.
However, if Death Monarch say he would avenge Katarina, instead of trying to save her, he could stay on Earth, hone his power and only then he would go to the Seresian world and avenge Katarina.
Even though it is quite heartless, everyone could understand the reason. And Death Monarch is still able to retain his reputation and power.
'See, I still avenge her'
To some people this is something that could be done.
And many of the faction of the world that wanted Death Monarch to stay even hope Death Monarch would do such a thing
But some people are not Azief. Azief did not decide to save Katarina because of his reputation. It is also not because he had owed her too much
It is because, no matter how he denies her, there is always a part of his heart that is reserved for her.
From the moment he saw her, there is this feeling that he could not shake off. He would not say that four letter word, but that is the feeling he felt for her. The same feeling, he had for Sofia.
How could he then let such a person dies?
Even letting her there for one day is already torturous enough for him. Because of his calmness, people all think that Death Monarch is being rational right now.
Only he himself know how stormy his emotion is. How worried he was that in this past five days that Katarina is already dead.
The hope that she is still alive is the reason why he keeps going those past four days in space, trying to breakthrough even though it could have broken his Perfection Ptah.
For someone who is as obsessed as Azief on moving to a higher level, the fact that he had even thought of abandoning the Perfection Path and try to breakthrough regardless whether or not his Perfection Path could be retained shows how important Katarina is in his heart.
Fortunately, there is the Etherna legacy and his Perfection Path was not broken.
Tomorrow is the day.
if he finds out that Katarina is already dead, then he would do his best to return, hone his strength and then when he comes back to the Seresian world, he would bury that world with her.
If she is still alive, then he would do all that he could regardless of everything to bring her back. That is why he is also thinking of preparation for tomorrow.
He thought of bringing some of the experimental weapon that the Research Department had made.
There is no knowing what he would encounter the moment he enters that portal.
There might be an army stationed there ready to capture him.
Or Balfor Q'un might be there to kill him and take the rings from him. Azief had the thought of removing the ring from his finger.
But he had his reason for keeping the ring. He is trying to prepare for anything. And the ring could be a bargain.
While he could not say that he is an expert in using the ring he still have a few tricks when it comes to the ring
He sighed a bit.
There is a feeling of nervousness as he thinks of the battle with the Demon King. This time he would not have the help of the Heavenly Will and he would not have the whole world helping him
He would not have any allies there and he would also not have the Orvanians helping him from above.
Thinking about it again, it truly felt like he is going on a suicide mission. Then he shook his head, removing such thought from his mind and focused at the task in hand
'She is a bit late' he thought to himself. He is still waiting for Sasha.
Of course, he could have just teleported to Sasha position but he thinks it is unnecessary and he did not want to use his Divine Sense to check what she is doing.
While his Divine Sense is powerful it still consumes energy.
It is kind of absurd if he simply uses his Divine Sense to spy on people all the time. He looks at the four doors around his office.
His office has four doors that lead to four different places.
And like most of the things inside this office, the door is of course not a normal door. The doors are all black and there are runes carved onto it.
There is also lines in each rune that connect it to another rune like some kind of electrical circuit. When it is open, the runes would light up and its function would be activated.
The East Door would open to the Garden of Pandemonium.
Azief Garden had been destroyed during the expansion and the Keepers of the Palace had been hard at work for these couple of days to restore it back and to add more color to it.
If he opens the East Door, and step out of that door he would not get out of the office instead he would be teleported to Garden of Pandemonium.
The West Door would lead to his private library and study.
Inside the library, there is thousands of information stored in a book. Of course, these books are also not like normal books before the Fall
Instead one just had to open the pages and the information of the entire book would stream into one's mind.
As for his private study, sometimes when he wanted to relax or catch a break that is where he would go. It is where he would do his official work.
Of course there is no such thing before. But since breaking up with Sofia, he thought that he need to busy himself with some work.
It is quite funny.
If people knew that the reason why Death Monarch suddenly began to exercise his power in Pandemonium is because of his breakup, they would probably be dumbfounded.
Some people in the court had always wanted Death Monarch to take charge.
And some people like the status quo.
But they probably could not have expected that the reason Death Monarch began to pay attention to Pandemonium matter is simply because he wanted to occupied his mind with other things other than thinking about his breakup.
