Lord Shadow

Chapter 1340 Being Noticed

　　And the more powerful one could break it. 

　　It was like when he and Jean fought using Time Laws. 

　　The way they control time is different because of the different interpretation of time that they both had hold.

　　But right now, no one noticed that time is not moving, the particles seems to be hold at its place without moving, an invisible force holding them right where they are, forcing them not to change. 

　　The reason is simple. 

　　Azief is a Divine Comprehension leveler, a realm where he could freely use the Laws.

　　Disk Formation might be able to use the Laws but it had limitation. The Disk is the engine. If the engine broke, the machine would not work. 

　　But the engine for the Divine Comprehension leveler is the energy all around them. The source of this world itself. So, how could that be compared? 

　　The Laws of this world is clear to him. he could manipulate the sky and the wind, the elements and the intangible

　　Because his Thirteen Laws all touched the basic laws of the Universe and that is why it was very easy for him to do this. 

　　Some people also cultivated Laws but some of the laws that they cultivated did not touch all the Laws of the world. 

　　But Azief Laws are all high tier Laws which could command all kinds of Laws beneath it. 

　　It all depends on one own understanding of certain laws and how they walk their path

　　So Time stopped for him. 

　　His finger seems to open up the Heaven and he smiles. Azief could feel back the connection between him and the Heavenly Will restored.

　　There is of course that resistance. Azief look up and saw an eye looking at him. But that eye could not do anything other than just looks at him.

　　At the same time, Azief could feel that the gulf of separation that he created is almost all dissipated by the Heavenly Will Avatar.

　　But almost is never enough. 

　　One third of the Heavenly Will still belongs to him. Azief could feel the dissatisfaction of the Heavenly Will Avatar but he only smiles.

　　In this timeless world right now, there are probably only four beings that are not affected by it. 

　　Azief knew that the moment he mobilizes the power of time, that person in Moscow would realize it.

　　And he was not wrong. Jean was in his Room of Clocks meditating when he suddenly opens his eyes. he looks at all the clocks in the Room and he could see that many of the Clocks on the walls and on the ceiling stopped. 

　　Then he smiles

　　'You're back' 

　　Inside a cave, there is someone who is sitting cross legged in the air. 

　　On his four cardinal direction there is four books, floating alongside him. The pages of the books would flip every few hours.

　　This is the cave of Hikigaya the Illusionist Archmage. But suddenly the pages stopped in midair, refusing to change to the other page.

　　Hikigaya eyes frowned. He moves his feet downwards as he floated down to the ground.

　　He takes a step forward and he appears outside of the cave. 

　　The moment he comes out, he could see that the mist that he had conjured up is in a state of stillness, the gas could not even move

　　Time was stopped. 

　　'Jean?' that was his first thought. 

　　But, it did not take him a second to deny this

　　'It's not him' Then he looks up at the sky above and he saw an eye. A gigantic eye looking down on the people of Earth.

　　This eye seems to emanate a pressure that could flattened an entire continent just by the ferocity of its stare.

　　Hikigaya chuckles.

　　'It's him' He nodded but there is also uneasiness in his heart. 

　　It has been six months. A lot of things had change and it is not exactly for the better.

　　Hikigaya is sure that the person that have mobilized the Time Law is none other than Death Monarch

　　He could not detect where Death Monarch is but he is sure of his assumption. Because there is the Heavenly Will in the sky, showing itself. 

　　From what Hikigaya had gathered, there is only one being in this world that the Heavenly Will is this angry at and that would be Death Monarch which robs its power and authority over the Heavenly Will. 

　　Azief believe only four beings in this world that could withstand the compulsion of time. 

　　That would be Jean who is the foremost expert of using Time Laws, Hikigaya who is also a Divine Comprehension leveler, him who mobilize the Time Laws and there is the Heavenly Will Avatar

　　But actually there is a few other beings on Earth that could withstand the compulsion of the Time Laws. 

　　On a mountain somewhere, sitting on top of a boulder on the mountain highest peak, where the peak is as tall as four thousand feet height, the peak which is covered by the moving clouds, there is a young man sitting cross legged on top of that boulder.

　　The area that he is inhabiting is full of clouds and white mist, the cold could even turn boiling water into snowflakes.

　　The wind is also very harsh that it cuts normal stone. 

　　A four thousand feet high mountain is a very tall mountain. It blocks the wind from its front side and withstand the turbulent wind from the back. 

　　Bu as tall as this mountain is, even this mountain could not reach the sky of the current Earth.  in such a location, the young man could still survive and even sat down on its highest peak and withstand the blades of wind and the coldness

　　The land he is on is a land of fire. 

　　There is deserts and there is volcanic activity almost every second. There is wyvern flying in the air and on the ground, there is titanic fire serpents that eat fire and drinks lava.

　　This young man who sat on the highest peak of one of the tallest mountain in this area is wearing wolf fur clothing.

　　His body is muscular and lean and his face is handsome and beautiful with a hint of a feminine feature. 

　　He has long silver hair and his hair covered his left eye. 

　　He has been closing his eyes, dreaming, sitting cross legged on top of that boulder, appearing like he is meditating. 

　　And in dreams, he plotted and schemed. 

　　But then like something shocked him, he opens his eyes in a hurry. The message of the dreams halted.

　　No, it is not quite accurate to say that the dreams halted, it is more like the recipient of the dreams that he was about to send suddenly seems to still.

　　So, he opens his eyes and he could feel the changes in Time and Space of the world. 

　　the current world is actually very vast and wide that no normal leveler could simply stop Time all over the world

　　At most, it would stop Time and Space in one particular area. Jean might be able to affect half the world. 

　　But the whole world affected by Time Laws? There is only one explanation

　　He looks up at the sky and he see the eye. 

　　He smiles

　　Looking at that eye, the answer is confirmed

　　'The Heavenly Will' he mutters

　　He looks at the eye but the eye would not be able to see him. That eye might see everything under the Heavens, but it would not be able to see him unless he wanted the eye to see.

　　This man is none other than Yewa Hafar. 

　　'And there is only one person on Earth that could command the Heavenly Will' he mutters and then he laughed.

　　It was like he was hearing a good news from someone. 

　　'You are finally back' and there is a sinister smile on his face.

　　'I have been waiting for quite a while' His aura almost went chaotic but he quickly suppresses it.

　　He looks at that eye for a few more moment before closing back his eyes.

　　There is a smile on his face, the wind blowing his silver hair and flutters his fur attire. He closes back his eyes and continue…. dreaming. 

　　On another continent, someone just shakes his head like he was trying to shake off a hangover. 

　　His eyes are bloodshot and his entire body is trembling, the forces of Time and Space around him was distorted before creating a small Void of Time and Space in that particular spot where he moves his finger.

　　But, the Void did not do anything, it was more like it had stopped. 

　　Like Yewa Hafar this person is also someone that managed to break through the compulsion of Time. 

　　This person is sitting in a room that appears to look like a modern world office. What is interesting however is that this person is in Disk Formation level.

　　Other than Divine Comprehension leveler who could easily move even when the whole world was affected by Time and Space stopping, Disk Formation leveler usually have no defense against such thing.

　　Yewa Hafar is an exception because he is the Acolyte of the Destroyer. 

　　Even though he came here under some limitations, he knew many spells and dark magic. It is easy for him to counter simple things like a being manipulating Time and Space 

　　But this person that managed to break free from the compulsion of Time is also not that ordinary person with no stories 

　　The reason why he could resist the compulsion of Time and Space is because there is something special about his Willpower. 

　　He regained himself as he put his trembling hands on top of his table. He waited of a while for the trembling to stop before taking a deep and calm breath. 

　　It did not take long for him to get his bearing

　　'I almost get caught off guard' he mutters to himself. 

　　This person is in his office in an undisclosed location. 

　　He was alone today as he gave his subordinate some vacation time. 

　　He is probably one of the best employer ever in the world right now. 

　　In the current state of the world, he is probably the only employer that gives his employee a day of. 

　　He is dressed in a designer tailored high-end three –piece suit, with a light maroon tie, a fedora on top of his slightly shaved heard

　　On his feet he wears leather shoes that look a lot like an Italian and wears a rose color glasses.

　　On his wrist is a wristwatch. the watch had no pointer and it had symbols instead of numbers. 

　　A fashion that seems to perfectly captured the fashion before the Fall and complemented it with the mysticism fashion of the new era after the Fall.

　　Formal yet casual. 

　　This man is none other than Loki. 

　　When he felt time stopped, he himself nearly stopped but the Willpower of a Sovereign inside him fight back this suppression of Laws and he broke out almost immediately.

　　Some people were anxious, some people were nervous when they found out that Death Monarch is back. 

　　And of course there are beings like Yewa Hafar who had always been awaiting the return of Death Monarch

　　If there is a similarity between Loki and Yewa Hafar was that they both have waited for Death Monarch to return home.

　　And like Yewa Hafar, these past six months is not spent in vain. Yewa Hafar had once again rearrange his chess pieces. The same could be said for Loki.

　　Loki then got up from his swiveling chair and got out of his office. He tries to use his super speed but it does not work

　　'I should quickly try to breakthrough to Divine Comprehension level. It makes me passive in many areas. It is a good thing that the world is as big as it is now, if not I am going to get caught by my brother' he said to himself. 

　　'Still, as long as you do not become a Sovereign, Hades helmet is enough for me to hide from you'

　　When he comes out from the office, he could see that almost all the things in the area has stopped. 

　　Then he comes out from the area and stepped on the garden on the outside. 

　　There is a bee that is standing still on the air with his wing standing still but it did not fall down to the ground.

　　Each time he moves, the ripples of time and space around him vibrate violently. 

　　To move in such an environment requires great power as each step he takes, the force of time and space is pushing back.

　　It would be wise for him not to move. But Loki had to confirm something. 

　　He could see that there is an eye in the sky.

　　'It seems that the Heavens really could not tolerate you' Loki is thinking of many things. He could not help but think of Void when he thinks about the Heavens

　　When he looks at that eye, there is complicated feeling that arose. 

　　The reason why he did not become a complete Sovereign is because Raymond and the other Sovereigns ripped apart the Will of Heaven.

　　So, he never had a throne unlike the other Sovereigns 

　　Loki had already wear Hades Helmet of Invincibility. Only that Helmet has been covered with illusion to look like a fedora hat so that eye could not see him.

　　He shakes his head off from some thoughts. 

　　'What the heaven sees, you see' he thought to himself. 

　　'That is why sometimes I look at the sky and hide my face' he mutters. He looks at that eye and like Yewa Hafar, that eye could not see him

　　'It is a pity that I could not trace where you are right now. But sooner or later you would have to return to Pandemonium. When that happens, I will seek you out' Loki did not linger for long there as he then returns to his office.
