Lord Shadow

PANDEMONIUM

CREAK!

BOOM!

The carriage bump into another rock and the people inside the carriage once again felt a little turbulence inside their carriage.

The woman inside the carriage is looking solemn and there is also fear in her eyes. There is undisguised anxiousness in her expression.

The man sitting opposite her also looks serious and look worried looking at that woman face. He saw that the woman is tired so he ask

‘Are you fine, Great Oracle? We could stop for a while. I think it is wiser to go to the Genius Alchemist Sina first before going to the Center Palace. I am worried about you Great oracle’

The woman coughed and her entire body rocked. The expression on the man face tighten

‘I am fine Antonius. Do not worry about me. We need to rush to the Center Palace. I could meet Sina later. This is more important’

The person inside the carriage is Oracle Erika and her bodyguard Antonius.

The carriage keeps bumping into rocks. Antonius was about to scold the driver when Erika gestured him not to say anything

‘We requested him to use whatever means necessary to go as fast as he can. It is not his fault’ Antonius sighed and sits back down on his seat.

Smiling weakly, Erika approached the glass windows of the carriage

Looking outside the windows of her carriage, she sighed.

If not for the prohibition of riding flying creatures or flying in the Center Region she would have rent a Pegasus or other flying creatures to rush herself to the Center Palace.

And she couldn’t teleport herself to the Palace.

All around the Palace from the nearby district to the nearby towns, their walls were all lined with anti-teleportation magic formation.

She was anxious right now. More than she ever has.

Antonius who was sitting opposite her could also sense her anxiousness.

‘Great Oracle, do not worry. We will arrive at the Palace in just half an hour’ Antonius said trying to calm her anxiousness

Erika just nodded as she coughed again, louder than before. She wipes her mouth with a white handkerchief.

There is blood on it. Antonius looks even more worried.

‘Great Oracle, I thin- But Erika stop him by shaking her head.

‘But-‘

Erika looks at Antonius and she sighed. Since a week ago he has been like this. Worrying excessively about her.

She could understand of course.

But she knows her body more than he does. This pain is insignificant. Since she becomes the Oracle she has experienced many bouts of illness. This is nothing new for her.

But the reason why Antonius is excessively worrying is because of the guilt in his heart.

Sighing she said.

‘It is not your fault’ Antonius head dropped down. Then lifting it back up he looked at Erika eyes and said

‘I have no excuse. I should have been better.’ Oracle shakes her head.

She disappeared for a few hours a week ago. Even as she tries to recall what she was trying to do or what she was doing before she disappeared she couldn’t remember.

But she knows she is about to do something important. She was found unconscious on the edge of a forest.

‘It is not your fault’ she repeated again.

She and Antonius both deduce that she was kidnaped during those few hours.

But why?

And why does the kidnapper does not do anything after that? Usually if there is a reason to kidnap the Oracle it is to force the Oracle to see their future.

But whoever kidnapped Erika is clearly not interested since they release her just after a few hours.

It was like nothing happened. Nothing was stolen from Erika possession either. Which is puzzling to Antonius.

What Erika didn’t tell Antonius is that she didn’t think that the one who kidnapped her is interested in worldly possession.

It is because Erika felt that her kidnaper did steal something. And that something is her memory.

That is even more precious than the many things she have. And it frustrates her that she couldn’t remember what memories she lost.

Oracle look at Antonius and smiling she patted his head.

‘Little Anthony’ she said with a smile on her face.

‘I hate it when you called me that’ Antonius said. Patting his golden hair Erika shakes her head.

‘I could not ask for a better protector’ she said and then she added

‘So don’t blame yourself.’ Her eyes look at Antonius and Antonius hesitantly nodded

‘Erika…I..I..’ Erika shakes her head. Because she know what he is about to say.

‘Your debt with me has long been paid. You must have known this a long time ago. But you still stay beside me. And that is enough. That is enough.’

Then she removes her hand from his hair and look outside the window, not saying anything anymore.

Antonius looking at Erika felt his heart in pain. Pandemonium did not have Her Temples.

She is growing weaker by the day and it hurts Antonius seeing her like this. Peering through the Heavenly Secrets has a price.

Her hair is now white and lost its health, her once youthful skin and complexion is coarse and hard.

Wrinkles fill all of her skin. She looks skinny like she was a bag of bones.

She must return soon to the Greece and recuperate when Antonius saw her after she wakes up this morning.

The more she uses her abilities and see the future without having the herbs to restore her vitality and youth, the more she is susceptible to die suddenly.

He said this many times that if she continues doing this she would die of old age.

But overtime she heard this argument from him she would only laugh.

She said maybe someday she will die, but she is pretty clear she would not die like this. Hearing this Antonius had a feeling that probably Erika has seen her own death in her vision.

As Erika look outside the windows of her carriage, she could not help but be reminded of the vision she saw last night when she was sleeping.

This time the vision come unannounced.

When she loses her eyes, she saw a planet rotting and drained of its energy, on the edge of breaking apart.

She saw the vast starry skies in a vast galaxy. And then as her eyes peer through Space and Time she saw it.

A monster.

A monster that seems to embodied annihilation.

It was extremely hideous and the aura coming out from that thing make her felt like she was about to be killed, its killing intent is enough to kill her by shock.

And then as she tries to extricate herself from the dream, she saw a glimpse of the future.

A glimpse of that thing fighting the Death Monarch. Though the Death Monarch in that glimpse of her seems a little bit different.

More powerful. And the emanation of his power causes even the Heavens to go dim. He seems to go toe to toe with that thing and she saw him…die.

She saw only a glimpses but she could feel all of that in that span of time. That the Death Monarch she saw in her dreams was a supreme existence.

When she awoke from her dreams, the side effects started with her body experiencing aging.

But she knows she needs to tell this to the Death Monarch.

And at the same time she needs to try to see that person future. For some reason, she knows that the Death Monarch would play a large role in all of this.

She needs to see it.

Until the end

SOMEWHERE IN THE GALAXY

In this abandoned galaxy two blurry image of two creatures crashed into a broken planet.

Their impact force causes earthquake and for the land to be engulfed in fires that spreads to all parts of the world

They then separated from each other, their feet dragging an entire block of ground beneath their feet.

Nearby hills exploded and dissipated into molecules.

Then almost instantly they punch each other and their fist collided creating a shockwave that obliterated mountain and sunders the clouds above them.

BOOM!

The sound of explosion roared and the wind howls.

Their impact force break the threshold of that planet as it shakes the stars nearby as the sea that separates the continent in this planet were turned into atomic molecules.

The hideous creature shouted as its shouts crack the land and destroy everything in front of it

On the outside of this broken planet around its atmosphere is an empty floating Red Throne. The throne seems to be made from weapons of various kind and bones.

It emitted the aura of madness and bloodlust so much so that it change the skies of this broken planet into red, fill with killing intent and bloodlust that could drive any intelligent life forms crazy.

Anyone in the Vast Universe would recognize this throne. This is the throne of Lord Wargod.

And he is fighting something in this broken planet.

The sound of booming explosion could be heard every few seconds as the lands of this planet were quickly destroyed.

Deep abyss and huge holes forms as time passes by.

Wargod is inside the broken planet and is looking towards his enemy. Blue blood seems to drip down from his mouth and he seems to be holding his ribs in pain.

He quickly recalls what happens before. He was too late to save the people of this planet. When he arrived at this planet it was already broken.

This planet is already dead

‘Heh’ he smirk.

‘The Deharian race intelligence must be praised. I didn’t think they could create such a powerful thing’ But there is also anger in his eyes.

It was burning with bloodlust and anger.

Because as he fought this monster he quickly notices something very odd about this monster. It wasn’t until he clash with it he finally know why he felt odd facing this monster

It was the fact that it had his race organs implanted onto it. The Deharian race harvested his race organs to create this monstrosity.

Probably that is why it is very powerful and sturdy.

In the original timeline, he did not fight this monster so he did not know. Thinking about it he also felt anger at the Deharian race.

But then he laughs.

Everything has a Price.

The Deharian race managed to create their ultimate weapon and the Price was that they were annihilated by their own weapon.

What an irony! What a comedy that is!

Wargod look at the monster in front of him and sighed. He is also panting in exhaustion. It has been a long time since he had to fight seriously.

No wonder the United Intergalactic Alliance pays a huge price to imprison this monster the first time

‘No wonder you are called the Annihilator. You have no other thoughts other than to annihilate things. Amazingly you are still following the directive of the Deharian Supreme Council’

It grunted and roar.

Wargod only smiles bitterly. A mindless beast incapable of feeling or thoughts

The Annihilator is now at the height of ten feet. Its power has also grown since it first escaped its prison.

Compared to his original size it is smaller but compressed inside that small body is a powerful force that could pulverize an entire star system.

The Annihilator only grunted and its mouth is drooling with its acidic saliva a sit melted the soil underneath it. It then bared its sharp gritted teeth.

Wargod laughs joyously like he found a worthy enemy.

‘Fine! Let me fight to my heart content today!’ Wargod shouted as a blue aura surges up from him reaching the collapsing sky of this planet.

The moment his aura surges up, the Laws of the Universe stirred and distorted. Wargod is releasing the seal he put inside his own body.

The star outside the planet explodes and the gravitational pull instead of exercising its pull over the nearby space area, it was instead pressured by that blue aura and dissipated into nothingness.

Then slowly Wargod body becoming larger as the wind around him howls and break, the space around him crack and the Laws around him were crushed like ants.

This transformation did not only causes his body to become larger but his aura also become stronger and more divine, like he was the Dominator of the Universe.

Slowly he grows to a hundred feet tall, and the Laws around him were insanely suppressed.

He then grew to two hundred feet tall and the air around him dissipated, like the Laws governing it were crushed.

Then he grows into a thousand feet tall and then in almost an instant he reached the height of ten thousand feet tall.

It was like he was the Heavens and he was the Laws of the Universe.

Then standing at a height of ten thousand foot his blue aura exploded into the starry skies and envelopes the entire Universe.

The blue aura around Wargod pierces the Universe barrier, shaking the stars before it explodes into nihility and the planet all around it were crushed from the inside as it concave internally before disappearing into a puff of smokes.

Wargod eyes shines as he puffed out his chest, looking at the tiny Annihilator.

Coming out from his entire being is a domineering aura that has long been forgotten by the Universe.

He knew he could not maintain this form for long or he would attract unwanted attention.

His eyes look towards the Annihilator and he scoffed.

‘Compared to the power of my race you are nothing but a cheap imitation!!!’

He shouted and a planet a million years away from this broken planet shattered and exploded, its Worldsoul is absorbed into Wargod body.

When his eyes look toward the Annihilator for the first time in the Annihilator entire existence it felt fear.

It was a foreign feeling to this monster so it thrashes wildly looking at that gaze as it fought the urge to step back.

It did not know how to response.

Then Wargod smirked and he roars

ROAR!!!

It was a crazed roar and the power of the roar caused the world to change colors and shook the Laws of the universe itself.

All kinds of elementals Storms cover the entire planet and the Annihilator famed for being an indestructible weapon was knocked back, half the flesh on its body instantly disintegrated, revealing the black bones that supported its frame.

ARGHHH! It shouted a shout of pain, its eyes dazed.

The continent of this planet slowly crack and crumbles before turning into dust.

Then taken away by the storms, the planet is slowly cracking at its seams as the core of this planet is already dying.

Slowly, the ground gives out all over this planet as it is being destroyed by anti-matter properties that come from that roar.

With the power of a roar Wargod had pushed the Annihilator into such dire straits.

This time the Annihilator finally understands what it is feeling. It is the emotion called fear. For the first time it wanted to disobey its Prime Directive.

Wargod wanted to delay the arrival of the Annihilator on Earth.

Yewa Hafar had been orchestrating things from the dark making the Annihilator to come faster this time.

Yewa Hafar is known to scheme from behind for his Master

As Wargod was about to punch towards the Annihilator and gives it a more severe injury suddenly the whole Universe tremble and shaking with anger and indignation.

And he could feel it. A powerful gaze that encompassed all Universes, all Realties and all planes of existence is looking at him.

The Creator, a trillion of light years away from this location opens his blue eyes when he sense that blue aura surging to the Universe.

He was familiar with it.

The usually amiable Creator depicted in ancient ruins and stories is different from his depiction.

He had thunder and black fire shoots out from his eyes with anger in his eyes.

‘Y…o….u a..g..a..i..n’

His voice seem distorted coming out from trillion of light years away but it still reached Wargod ears in almost an instant as it echoes endlessly inside his mind.

Then a large black thunder and black fire arrives at the broken planet heading toward Wargod, holding the might of thousands of Universe, screaming with hatred and resentment.

It phases through other things but the moment it reached the broke planet, its might exploded out as it causes the initially suppressed and destroyed Laws reformed in almost an instant.

The Laws of The Universe were restored, and it binds around Wargod forcing him to submit. Wargod eyebrows creased.

‘Creator’ he muttered under his breath

This is the power of creation.

A thought to create.

Without hesitation, Wargod changes the direction of his punch as he muster all of his strength causing the Sun of this star systems to die a cold heat and immediately being absorbed into his hands.

Then as the energy reaches its peak Wargod shouted

ARGHHH!

And he punches toward the black fire and black thunder.

BOOM! BOOOM!!!

His flesh that should have been invulnerable instantly corroded and exploded revealing his blue bones.

Wargod was forced back, the wind around him creates air drafts that created elementals storms as winced in pain but he did not shout a word of pain.

‘Uhuk,uhuk’ he coughed out Laws of the Universe from his mouth as he was considerably weaker.

His body shrinked as he reverted back a thousand feet tall

At the same time the Destroyer who is sailing through Universes and colliding into planets after planet without stopping also sense that blue aura.

As another planet bumps into the Destroyer shoulders it dissipated into dust but the Destroyer is now at halt.

‘Oh?’ The Destroyer seems to exclaim as the Destroyer words landed on a nearby stars and causes it to dissipate.

Then he look toward that direction where the Wargod is fighting separated by probably countless of Universe and star system.

But Wargod could feel it.

The gaze of the Unholy Destroyer. He was the bane of his race. Wargod eyes frowned. He didn’t think that both of those Supreme Beings noticed him this quick.

The Destroyer opens its mouth, as the unfortunate stars around his mouth were swallowed inside as he spat out something from its mouth.

It was a black spherical energy in the form of a lightning bolt that contains the might of multitude of Universes he swallowed.

That energy shoots through all of the universes and passes through other stars systems, destroying anything on its path as it almost instantly reached the planet where Wargod is fighting.

By this time the Annihilator for the first time in its life fled as it felt something weird from fighting this creature called Wargod.

Wargod on the other hand once again punched out to the sky and collided with the energy that the Destroyer spat out from its mouth.

BOOM!

It is the last straw for the planet as the planet exploded. Wargod shrink back to a hundred feet tall.

He looks at the crumbling planet and at the starry skies and sighed. He then shakes his head as he quickly jumped back toward his Red throne as his body slowly turned back to his original height

The seal on his body was put back on, the blue aura was repressed and the injury on his body he sustained from fighting the Annihilator appeared back.

He was panting but the gaze of those two supreme beings is no longer on him. The creator closes his eye and the Destroyer continues his journey.

Still seated on his Red Throne Wargod release a sigh of relief and said to himself

‘Whether you knew it or not, Azief you now owe me’ Wargod said to himself, smirking.

Looking toward the direction where Earth prime is located he whispers

‘And I will come to collect one day’

Then taking a last look at the running Annihilator in the distance, jumping through the stars, and killing and draining everything on its path Wargod waved his hand as Interium appear.

The broken star of Interium shakes as the barrier of Interium collided with the gravitational pull of the collapsing planet.

Wargod waves his hand as that gravitational pull disappears.

He sighed and his Red Throne teleported inside Interium as the broken star of Interium once again sails the Universe in search for great warriors.

***

Oracle seeing a vision. Wargod is fighting.

There is a lot of hints. Whether you can interpret it lies on your knowledge of my story…hehehe.

Anyway, by now you all could guess what Wargod is right? Yu Wang once mentioned to Wargod that he knows what Wargod is.

I think you all could guess it by now and understand why he wanted it to remain hidden.

Anyway, if you like the story keep supporting me….hehehe
