Lord Shadow

Chapter 1293 A Promise of a Date

All the while all of this happening in many corners of the Omniverse, Azief is already in the time and space portal.

The moment he entered it he could tell that this is different than the last time.

His entire body right now is enveloped by a strange force. He immediately could tell that this force is the Time Force.

As his feet landed on a road, the portal behind him closed off almost instantly.

This time, it is a bit different than the last time

The Time and Space tunnel that he went through before is chaotic and disorderly. But this portal did not feel like that.

And the Time and Space tunnel is also different

And unlike before where he could only float and grab time pieces to move around and reach his time, he and Katarina is now walking.

Of course, this walking is not like conventional walking but if someone could see them it truly looks like they are walking

And there is even a road. Azief walk on this road and behind him is Katarina.

Around them is fragments of visions, floating on either sides, showing sceneries from their time periods. Imagine a road and each sides have huge television showing ads and dramas.

It is a bit like that only that the scene is hard to determine its origin

What Azief do know that the scene he saw must be the scene of certain other worlds

Some of them of worlds that they don't know. Some of them are scenes from other dimension. Each time they take a step, they cross an entire galaxy of stars.

It reminded him a bit of the Bifrost bridge of the Asgardian only the difference was that this is a Time Space portal.

Which means when they did walk they do not only cross space, but also time.

If Azief were to do it by himself, like he what he did with Will, his action would create instability in the fabric of reality leading to more tears of space and time.

With the help of Qarliya and the authority of the Orvanians over the Multiverse, Azief could travel through time and space without disturbing the natural order.

The only thing that they must not do was to jump off from the road that they are walking right now.

The road that they are walking now looks like a tile road.

At least that is how it appears in his mind. Azief ask Katarina what he sees the road as and she told him, in her eyes she saw a road full of snow.

It seems that this road appearance looks differently to different people. Azief felt it is quite amusing

It might have something to do with the attainment of Time laws or it might have something to do with one own comprehension of Time Laws.

Whichever it is, it does not matter as long as they could reach their destination at the time that they wanted.

Right now they are walking step by step. Even though it looks like they are walking leisurely, they know each step they took transported them to pass through millions and trillions of miles of distance.

Seresian world is in another galaxy entirely.

Even the Milky Way galaxy itself is a huge galaxy. Not to mention that the supercluster that they are in is even more larger. It is even hard for the mind to comprehend the vastness of these galaxies.

And if not for these methods by the Orvanians it would probably takes Azief and Katarina years if not decade to return home

No matter how fast Azief is it did not matter.

There are places in the Universe where even his speed could be drained or being obstructed.

And while he could warp space, the larger the distance between him and the space he wanted to warp himself towards, the higher chances for it to go wrong.

As for opening the Time and Space tunnel, that is only the last resort. Fortunately, Azief did not have to choose any of these methods as Qarliya provided him with all the necessary tools.

If not for the help of the space bending enabling them to quickly surpass such distance, Azief would be appalled to think of how many years he would have to take before he could reach Earth Prime.

Azief and Katarina did not talk about anything as they were walking. When he saw the road and saw the scenes all around them, Azief had already reminded Katarina to soak it all in.

So, right now she is doing what he had told her, trying to understand Time and Space Laws.

'If Jean could go here, I bet he would be very happy' Azief found a comrade in Jean. The reason is simply because like him, Jean sought to perfect his Laws.

While he did become the Left Chancellor of the Senate of the Republic, he did it simply to protect his friends and loved one.

Azief could understand that. But what drew him to Jena was the fact that like him, he did not cultivate simply because he wanted to be stronger.

Azief himself had changes his perspective after he reach a high enough level.

He no longer just cultivates and seek greater strength simply because he wanted strength.

That has become like the byproduct of what he seeks. He seeks to understand the Laws of this Universe.

He seeks to understand the Laws because he like sit.

This is the same desire that they shared and they find each other pleasing to the eye. So, he could not help but be reminded by Jean

Knowing that he might breakthrough to another realm of Divine Comprehension if he were inside this Time and Space tunnel.

Where else it would be more appropriate to learn about the intricacies of Time and Space laws other than the inside of a time and space connection?

'At least, Katarina could use this chance to deepen her understanding of time. Before, Katarina walks behind Azief but after a while she walks beside him

And then she holds his hand and Azief only smiles.

It was nothing like the chaotic and almost always deadly travels that he is used to experience when he is travelling inside a Space Time tunnel

It was almost like they were on a date. They walk with each other side by side, while looking at the floating projection of time of different worlds.

They hold each other hand tightly and they did not let go of each other hands.

As for Azief, he memorized some of the world he had seen.

It is hard to know whether they were walking for a long time or not considering they could not feel time moves in this portal.

This is the feeling that Azief is familiar with.

The feeling of timelessness when travelling inside a Time-Space tunnel

But after what felt just a short moment, Azief could see already that there is the end of the tunnel.

He squeezes Katarina hand and Katarina finally avert her gaze from the scenery on the other side of the road and look at Azief.

'We're almost there' Azief said to her. She smiles

They did not immediately jump out the portal. One reason is to charge momentum. The other one is to prepare themselves.

Azief knows what it feels like to travel through space time. The longer the journey that is taken to travel, the uncomfortable the feeling when they have to jump out.

'What are you going to do when we return home?' Katarina suddenly ask.

'First, I've got to check Pandemonium. I have left a few instructions to Sasha and a few of my other trusted people. I believe that there would be no problem. Then…. I think I would be practicing to break through to next level.'

Katarina pouted

'That's it?' Azief saw her face and expression and he chuckles.

'It seems that there is something that you want? What is it?' Azief asked, smiling all the while. She heard Azief word and brightened up

'A date' she said

'What?'

'A date' she repeated.

'We already had a lot of dates in the Seresian world'

'That did not count'

Azief was puzzled.

'Why was it not counted?'

'It has only been a month since we became a couple. The dates before that was when we are not yet a couple' Azief laughed at this

'I didn't know that there is such a strict requirement that needs to be fulfilled for it to be considered a date' he said. But then he added

'Didn't we also have dates after that?' Katarina nodded but then she said

'That also doesn't count'

Azief chuckles

'And pray tell, why doesn't it count this time?'

'Have you ever heard someone who is in a date had to fly out to kill monsters in the middle of the date?'

Azief chuckles again and said

'We live in extraordinary times. '

Katarina sighed and then said

'Is it so much to ask to just have an ordinary date with you? Without no world –ending crisis looming over your heads, no monsters to slay, no assassins hiding in the bushes trying to kill you'

'Just once, a simple date where we could eat in some overpriced café while complaining about the price that didn't make sense, of a movie where the story doesn't even matter and then end it with you and me in my house, on my sofa while watching some stories that we like, leaning on each other while we both fell asleep?'

Azief heard this and he raised his eyebrows

'That is oddly specific'

Katarina holds his hand and kiss him on his cheeks.

'I learned a bit. Don't forget I am the High Chancellor of the Republic' Azief smiles and said

'And what did you do with that?'

Katarina chuckles and said

'I borrow some of their video devices and watch all the romantic comedies I could watch. Isn't this how it is done? A confession scene.'

Azief shakes his head but there is a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Then he cupped Katarina face and looks straight at her eyes and shakes his head

'Katarina. That is only if we are not yet dating. We are already dating'

'Oh. So, I just wasted a confession scene' she said smiling. Azief laughed

'You know I like this kind of joke, didn't you?' Katarina smiles and then laughed. Azief could not help but laugh with her.

It might seem ridiculous if people could see them now. They are at the edge of time and space, around them is time force with space phenomenon flying all over them.

They are on a road that is formed from some kind of laws and energies that they could not make of.

Yet, even at this time, these two could still joke around. Right now, for a moment Azief forgot all that he was about to do and only thought of how beautiful the sound of her laugh and Katarina could only laugh looking at Azief face who is happy.

For a moment, it was like both of them went to their teenage years. A Katarina with no dark past. And an Azief without depression.

In that moment, it was a perfect moment. They laugh about nothing…. but why does laughing about nothing makes one heart this happy?
