Lord Shadow

EARTH

Was it an instant or was it an eternity?

A second later Azief opens back his eyes and he was inside a cave.

The moment he opens his eyes he could see the cave is trembling and shaking, cracking at many places and all around him mini tremors is assaulting the cave

Azief immediately remember who he is and where he is.

Usually it would take a little time for him to compose himself when he went out from the trials but maybe because he already passed the trials it seems there is no lingering feelings.

Then looking at the state of the cave, and the energy coming out from him that is leaking out, Azief of course was startled.

The energy is about to burst out from the cave. He saw that the cave also glow with white light. ‘Xu Cong!’ Azief remembers.

‘Xu Cong is trying to contains it from the outside’ Azief thought to himself

Azief eyes widened but he takes quick steps and takes a deep breath as all the energy that is leaking out from him is swiftly being absorbed back into himself.

Then he breathes out and the entire cave movement has stopped.

‘Huh. That was close’ he got up from his cross legged position and look around him.

The protection barrier and the talisman and enchantment that were put all around the cave wall have either torn apart or broken down.

He also saw golden characters that seem to etch itself on the interior of the walls.

Azief closes his eyes for a moment and he felt the seven energies inside his body including the Demonic Energy and the six energies he got from extracting the Energies inside his Rings.

‘Later’ he said to himself. He could not yet refine all of it into Disk. Because the moment he do that, he would summon the Supremacy Stairway.

And doing that he would leave Earth with a crazy Orvanian-amnesiac-universal knowledge plunderer slash scientist on the loose.

The best thing he could do now is to form the Demonic energy first so that he could use the legacy inheritance that Azul gives him.

But he knows he already got enough and done enough for today. He wanted to return to the palace and take a bath.

He slowly walks out from the cave and then as he walked out he saw Xu Cong on top of the entrance of the cave, sitting cross legged.

‘Now this is awkward’ Azief thought to himself. After all he knows this happens because of him

Xu Cong seeing Azief coming out from the cave, immediacy jump down and kneel in front of him

‘My Lord, you have returned safely!’ Azief felt a little guilty.

Seeing the haggard expression on Xu Cong face and seeing the wrinkles on Xu Cong face, Azief deduced that Xu Cong must have used his vitality to restrain his aura from leaking out.

Azief did not say anything. He only put his finger on Xu Cong forehead and transferred a bit of his vitality into Xu Cong.

Azief vitality is like an undying sea, almost inexhaustible. With just a little of his vitality, Xu Cong entire being regains back his youth and vitality.

‘Thank you my lord’ Xu Cong said.

‘You have done your job well. I will not forget it. You can go now. I will return to the Palace to rest’

Xu Cong nodded and he quickly returns back to his residence. Azief was about to return when he decided otherwise.

For some reason, he felt an intuition in his heart. That sensation grew heavier each time he tries to leave.

So, he didn’t leave.

Instead, he returns back to the cave and sits back down. He felt something wrong before. He closes his eyes.

He then from his cave spreads out his Divine Sense to the entire Pandemonium. His Divine Sense was refined after his encounter with Azul

Now, he could see and felt thing more clearly than before..

Then he felt it.

Someone was trying to divine him. It was like someone is pinching his clothes and he felt that slight pressure on his body.

That is how to describe the felling eh felt when someone divines against him. Whether that person is trying to divine his location or his fate, Azief would never allow it.

Azief opens his eyes, with a cold eye.

He moves his index finger and a heaven sundering aura comes out, his index finger glowing with power as it cuts those eyes that trying to divine him.

That person falls down coughing blood all over the floor the moment Azief did that. That person is in the Centre palace.

Azief smiles inside the darkness of the cave. He also senses other things that happen since then. He sense Sofia aura.

Azief smiles. It was a smile of happiness

‘A lot happened’ Azief said before he got up and went outside. Smiling, satisfied, and feeling accomplished he flies to the Centre Palace

AT THE SAME TIME ON THE VAST UNIVERSE

Azul was sitting on his throne holding Meihul hand. They looked at each other lovingly.

‘It has been too long’ Meihul then shakes her head.

‘I’m here’

Azul nodded. And it all thanks to that mortal. Just when he was about to bring Meihul with him to other places he then senses a familiar aura out there on the Universe.

Meihul also senses it and her face turns dark. Azul sighed

He then was about to get up from his throne when Meihul try to hold him down by griping Azul hand. Azul look at Meihul and he smiles

‘My lady, I appreciate the feeling but this is something I must do’ Meihul eyes seems to be reluctant of letting him go.

‘You already give him many things. It is enough isn’t it? You have pay off your Karma. You owe him nothing else’ Azul caress Meihul hair and said

‘That is not enough. I owe him six deeds. I give him the energies inside the ring which cemented his connection with the rings of Eternal and connecting a bit of his fate with the original owner of the rings’

‘That is one deed. I gave him my inheritance that is the second deed. And now this is the third’ Meihul sighed. She knows she can’t stop him now that he is this determined.

‘Go….and be safe’

Then Azul step out, the aura of Time and Space around him distorted before breaking off entirely.

His eyes was determined, like he was a warrior that is about to engage in a war. Bloodlust follows him and red clouds swirls on his fist that produces thunderous red lightning

His one step causes him to travel trillions light years away, the Universes that he passed by have a slight crack in their World Barrier and then he arrived at another Universe starry sky.

He looks around for a while but then he senses it. It is not hard to sense it when that aura is screaming destruction and death.

Then Azul saw him and his eyes narrowed and turns serious. His hand glows with power.

‘Hmm…I didn’t think all of this would eventually lead to this. What a sad fate’

He sighs; his sigh could be heard in the entire universe. Many life forms that heard that sigh looks up from their planet as they felt a tugging sensation in their souls to seek that voice.

In the distance not too far away from Azul is the Destroyer. His body is floating in dark space emanating the universal laws of Destruction, releasing such power that even a thousand Universes could barely contain it.

Anti-gravitational force swirls around his entire body rejecting anything that comes near it even Laws and essence of the universe.

The Destroyer has always been closing his eyes sailing through the Universe with his titanic body smashing anything on his path without a care.

Then suddenly he opens his eyes the moment he sense Azul energy.

Each of the Destroyer eyes is as big as ten mega sized stars. The moment he opens it, stars, planets, any dust that is in the lien of his sight dissipated into nothingness.

‘Azul’ He said, his voice created a resonance with the Universe and a nearby stars shakes before it exploded

Azul was calm. This is not the first time he encounter the Destroyer.

Azul waved his hand and lock downs this Universe so that the Destroyer magic would not pass this Universe.

‘ Destroyer, I know where you are about to go and why you are doing this. I was there when “it” happens. I know you feelings. But…let just say I had to delay you. That mortal…..have helped me. I must pay my Karma with him’

‘Azul….do you not know who I am?’ Hearing this provocation from the Destroyer Azul eyes blazed red and laughed.

After all he had his Defiant Heart. He did not even fear the Heavens why should he fear the Destroyer.

‘Hahaha. And do you not know who I am? The entire Universe maybe regarded you two as the most powerful being in the Universe under the Supreme One but we both know that is just not true. After all the Etherna did send your and the Creator sorry ass back to the Divine Dimension’

The Destroyer eyes shines dangerously as the planet on the line of his sight immediately deconstructed.

The Destroyer stony feet caused by colliding with star dust and solidified anti matter energy moved.

His dark halo seems to affect space time and his energy that radiated cosmic microwave seems to increase.

Azul did not shrink back from fear instead his aura surges even more ferociously. Instead he also charged forward

ROAR!

The entire Universe roared and howled when these two titanic being collided with each other.

Their collision force causes the Universe they are in to collapse on itself. Galactic cannibalism happens all over the Universes as the energy coming out from the Destroyer demands destructions.

Somewhere in a grassy plain underneath a large lush tree, on a blue planet a white haired man with clear blue eyes opens his eyes and he smiles

‘Old friends meeting each other and they started messing the natural order of the Universe’

But that man is smiling.

‘In the end, I have to fix the messes

Sitting under that tree, that man blows a wind from his mouth. That winds rises up to the sky and reaches the Heavens and it spreads out to the Universes being destroyed by the force of the collision between the Destroyer and Azul.

The moment that wind passes by those places life once again sprouted and everything that was destroyed, everything that return to nothingness appears again like nothing has ever happens.

All lives were restored. Life force once again dominates the Universe.

The white hair man then just closes back his eyes as he already saw the conclusions of the battle between Azul and the Destroyer.

In the vast Universe chained to the Wheel of Reincarnation is the Destroyer, howling and trying to destroy the Vast Universe

But in the Vast Universe, Azul is the Lord of All. While he could not create souls, he knows all the way to trap one.

Especially when he already has Karma with the Destroyer.

Azul look towards the Destroyer eyes, their huge size is equals as he look deep into the Destroyer eyes. Then he ask

‘Are you still in there old friend?’ Azul asked the Destroyer but it doesn’t seem like he is talking to the Destroyer even though he is looking at the Destroyer. Azul only sighs and then he sat back down on his throne.

‘Supreme One have written the story and I know how it will progress. But, a delay is nothing. I am not interested in changing the story; I am only delaying the inevitable. After all there are other who are trying to change the story. Let him have a little time Supreme One’ Azul seems too said to no one in particular.

Then he sighed again

‘Three more deeds to go’

***

This is the last part. Do you notice the one theme that is prevalent when it is regarding Azul. It is six. And…it seems Azul…recognize the Destoyer? hehehee.

Bet you all didn’t know how powerful Azul really is didn’t you?

And Azul still owes Azief three more times.

When will that be used…you all think? Hehehehe.

The story is just beginning.
