Lord Shadow

Chapter 1617 Different

The tea is sold under the name Sina Calming Tea, Good for Dissociative Personality Disorder. 

When you need to see other people memories and not get overwhelmed, get Sina Calming Tea!

That is the ad that Sina had greenlit. 

It is quite to the point. But Sasha still thinks that she needs to change the name into something more elegant and more…impactful

Sasha shakes her head

"This is not the time to think about Sina brand of tea" 

She was about to take one of the memory cards and she was ready to enter the vision when suddenly, just second before she could close her eyes and meditate , she opens her eyes suddenly. 

And she takes a step and he speed cracked up to a thousand and before she knew it she had flown out for the Palace and look at the sky. 

"he returned?" 

There up in the sky, a blue line pierces the clouds and the ancient energy seems to permeate all of Pandemonium. 

It was like a ripple of energy that spreads out in all direction .

But it is spread out so fast that before she could try to capture the source of that energy, the energy has already dissipated. 

The sky split apart and the formation over the sky of Pandemonium is cracking

CRACK!

And the whole of Pandemonium is shocked!

The world went wild like it is announcing the return of Death Monarch!

….

BOOM!

The space crack, a line cut through the space, the space distorts and get cut, the worldly phenomenon went wild and a cut appears like someone had cut the space between Heaven and Earth

Whoosh!

A gust of wind, a flashing light akin of lightning and a silhouette was push out from that line in space

"Damn" that silhouette cursed. The light dissipated and the space went to normal quite quickly but there is still a tear in space

The one being hurled out of that rip in space is none other than Azief. The moment he was pushed out by the space around him, his body went hurling toward the ground because of the pushing force by the space around him

In that moment, all he no longer pretends to be mortal and break all the seals in his body. 

Maybe it is because he had gone to that place but right now, the ease of which he breaks his own seals is almost instantly

And almost instantly, his energy returns to him. From Disk Energy Formation aura straight up to Divine Comprehension peak realm achieved in a mere second.

BOOM!

He stops his body from falling to the ground as he floated in the air. He then quickly stares back at the rip in space above him and he narrows his eyes

"The ring" he mutters. 

He did not say the rings. 

But ring. 

And then before his eyes, he could see one particular ring was shot out from the rip in space and then it is slowly falling to the ground. Azief quickly fly toward the ring and grab it.

He grabs it and look at the ring

"I never expected it to be like this" he thought to himself. The ten rings are forged by the lives of eleven Etherna. Ten Etherna sacrifice their essence, becoming the ring.

And the forger of this ring throws himself into the forge of fire to bond the essence and the ring. 

The ten rings then become probably one of the most powerful artefacts in existence. Those who truly master it could probably run amuck all over the Omniverse.

But from its existence till now, the rings has never been mastered. Those who have wear this ring because only could use superficial method that is in this ring. 

They never truly could bring out the true potential of this ring. That has always bene the case because no one knows the truth of this ring

No one before has been shown the true origin of this ring. Because this ring was never intended for any of the previous wearer. 

Borgan calculated everything and now the ring finally reached the true destined person. But as Azief has found out being the true destined person is not entirely great

After all he had seen his future

He would become the Destroyer and would usher the destruction of the Universe. This is him making his own speculation

But he is quite sure that when the Destroyer come to Earth, he is not coming for a vacation. Azief is quite sure that he as the Destroyer would usher the destruction of the Universe

And Borgan probably doesn't want that. 

As for the rings…. like Phaitos become the bonding agent for the rings to merge with the essence of the Etherna, Borgan uses what is left of her soul to…. merge the ring into one. 

And this is the ring. 

A simple ancient ring. 

The ring itself look….simple if he had to describe it

It has that feeling of a rustic ring forgotten by time and there is nothing to differentiate it from anything. Like a circlet, like a normal ring one would craft from mud. 

There is no carving, no runes, just one simple ring. It also did not emit any force or energy. 

But Azief knows that this ring…this ring that he is holding right now, possess great power. 

He holds the ring and raise it up over his face and look up. 

He tries to see if there is any detail on this ring. But there is nothing.

"Simple. Is it returning to the basic? Or is there some other secrets that I am not seeing?" he mutters to himself. 

Azief then look around the area. It was the same forest he left. He closes his eyes and his Divine Sense began to be activated his Divine Sense began scanning all over the area and he could sense so many electronic devise and magical formation all over the area

And he smiles

"It seems my disappearance probably created a panic for Sasha" 

He is quite sur that it was Sasha that set up all of these devices and magical formation. 

Probably after he disappear without any warning whatsoever, it created a few complications for her

The only problem is he did not know for how long he was gone. When he was at that space, it is hard to tell time. 

It felt long but it also felt short. And he knows in places like that the easiest thing to manipulate is the perception of time. 

He might have been there for a few second but maybe decades had passed on earth or he might be there for thousands of years but only a few second had passed. 

He really hopes it is the latter. 

But seeing that there are still traces of pandemonium and there are traces of Sasha handiwork all over the forest, even if he was gone, he was not gone for long. 

Azief did not ponder that matter for long. The moment he confirms that the device has caught him, he returns back his attention to the ring

It would not be long before Sasha would get the news and she would come here to make sure. 

For now, however, Azief did not seem to care about this problem but he keeps looking at the ring that he is holding

"Will something change if I wear it this time?' Azief suddenly ask himself this question. 

He didn't know why but he felt that something would change if he wears it.

He looks at the ring or a few more second and then slowly he wears on his finger and the moment he did that, it felt like he is being hit on the head.

the ring itself seems to change

Ten alphabets of the Etherna appears on the ring and the ring appearance changed almost immediately

Right now, however Azief did not notice that there is alphabet of the Etherna is carved by an invisible force on the ring

It became polished, like a new ring and it emanates eleven different aura that distorts space, time and even reality around it. 

The space twisted and stretches and it almost breaks but this aura keeps it from breaking like there is two opposing forces at war with each other.

However even though this aura that is emanating from the ring is very powerful Azief did not realize this at all. 

Because in the moment he wears the ring, a different kind of phenomenon happens to him

In that moment, all kinds of information enter in his mind and he could feel that boundary between Divine Comprehension level and Essence Creation is loosening. 

"I could breakthrough?" he thought to himself

"Essence" he thought and he suddenly remembers what Borgan has said to him about essence of life. 

"Everything" he understand a bit and that understanding seems to create a kind of reaction in his Inner World

And suddenly a new kind of knowledge enters his mind

"This is wrong" he thought the moment that information is given to him. But then he shakes his head

"It is not wrong" 

"It's different"
