Chapter 1677: Across the World

Chapter 1677: Across the World

?

His body right now, did not emit any fluctuation of energies.

Before he rarely had this kind of problem where the monsters is eyeing him and thinking of him as food.

The reason is because his energy made them afraid and each time he is in a forest, a mountain, a jungle or wherever the place the monsters would take the initiative not to bump into him.

At that time, he is the creature that any other creatures would fear. He is the creature that you don't want to bump in at night

They would scatter and ruin away once they notices him. It is not because they know his reputation.

They could feel their instinct warning them.

But right now, Azief energy is restrained too deep.

So, these monsters are looking at him, trying to determine whether he is prey or predator.

The sight of their brethren dying to eat him probably confused these creatures

"This is simple" he thought to himself. He allows a bit of his power to leak and these monsters sensing the energy quickly scatters away.

"Now, it is a bit quiet" he mutters

He walk again, taking his time, silently, leisurely.

Azief arrive at a boulder area.

"I think this should be good enough" he mutters to himself.

He makes swinging motion with his wrist and a chunk of stones from the boulders is cut off from the boulder and then spirals in the air before forming into a rectangle

A rectangle stone.

This rectangle stone is smooth on all sides.

And then with a movement of his finger, the rectangle box made of stones flew close to Azief. Azief look at it and choose one of the sides and made a small hole with his fingers.

Then looking at it satisfied, he write something on the surface of the stone. His fingers is like a carving tool, carving words into the rectangle box.

It is runes.

And the moment each rune is written, the energy of the world gather toward this stone box. He only writes it in one side but when Azief wipes the other empty sides with his hand, the ruins appears like Azief had duplicated it form the written side of the rectangle box.

There is humming sound coming from the stone box and Azief feel satisfied looking at it The runes are space and time. And with these two runes, Azief has created a box of holdings. "It might not be as good as those that are produced by those crafters but now that I understand more laws, creating these kinds of things seems easy"

Azief knows that this box of holding that he has is not as good as the bag of holding given by the systems or the one crafted by those with craft profession.

But it is good enough for the current situations.

Then he walks back to the area of the palm trees while dodging the tails of the dead best around the shores.

"I think all of these resources would fill the schedule of the Research Department for severe months" he mutters to himself. He activated the Stone Box of holding by injecting some of his energy into the stone

And like a vacuum, it sucks all of the corpses of those beast.

It only takes a few second before the shore is clean again, there is no longer any corpses of these beast clogging up the shore.

There is of course the stain of colourful blood all over the grasses and sands of the island but with a few waves of Azief hand, all of this dirtiness disappears.

"Probably right now, Sasha would try to locate me." He sighed and shakes his head.

And then another waves of his hand and a small quaint hut is constructed near the palm trees He waves his hand and another formation is constructed around the hut. This formation doubles as a warding formation and an anti-surveillance formation

"Just another day of rest" Azief don't know if this is a side effect for something. But he felt tired. And he felt drowsy.

Always wanting to sleep

"Is this the cons of being an Essence Creation leveler? Or is it because of my path of Perfection?" Azief could not really say his method of breying through is the normal way of breaking through.

He uses the methods of Etherna so maybe there is some side-effect

He decided not to care about it for a moment, enter the hut and in just a few second after throwing himself on the bed, he feel asleep

...

While Azief is sleeping, the world changes.

A day had passed. And the entire world has now a more complete picture of what had happened yesterday.

Raymond uses the trident and break through to Divine Comprehension real. Oreki the Thunder King had uses the thunder of tribulation of Death Monarch to break through.

Japan is now confirmed to have two Divine Comprehension leveler.

There is reports that when the tribulation of Death Monarch is happening, and hat giant face exerted its pressure toward the living beings on Earth Jean and Hikigaya also appears in the sky, protecting the world.

But a few hours after that news and report came out, another report also noted that when Death Monarch was undergoing his tribulation, these two not only protected the world they also have the opportunity to watch Death Monarch breaking through from Divine Comprehension realm to Essence Creation realm

Who knows what benefit those two get from watching the tribulation up close?

Nobody expected that there would be another change after the Multiversal Convergence. The people is worried that this might once again start another war.

Their worries are not unfounded.

Even though it seems that the peace is now the answer to the years of chaos, the seed of

conflict is there.

And everyone that is educated enough could see ethics ember of conflict.

If anyone blows a bit wind into this ember, it could turn into a fire that could consume the

world

And what is these seeds?

The first one is the conflict between the Empire of Japan and the World Government.

It is no secret that Hirate was caught unaware of Hikigaya action of seceding itself from the World Government.

Yes, there was talk about dissatisfaction that Oreki and Hikigaya had toward the World Government and the strict regulations that Hirate is proposing.

To both Hikigaya and Oreki Hirate measure is centralizing the power of the World

Government.

And while that would strengthen the World Government, it would not strengthen Japan. Instead, it would assimilate Japan into the framework of the World Government and Japan would simply be another territory under the rules of the World Government.

Which would erode Hikigaya and Oreki influence in Japan.

In Japan, these two is considered the protector of it just like Death Monarch is considered the protector of Pandemonium.

Hikigaya and Oreki these two also are not cruel nor throw they force people to follow them. When the Kyoto Accord was signed between these two warlords in the past, they both jointly help protect Japan and rule it with the Emperor and the Shogun.

The Emperor of Japan shares Japan with the Hikigaya and Houtarou family

and the Shogun was also another force. The Shogun did not have that much influence because Hirate prioritized the World Government

It is not long until the Emperor seek help from Hikigaya and Oreki to oust Hirate from the seat

of Shogun

that plan has been going for years but only now that it is possible for the imperial family to strip the title of Shogun from Hirate.

Unlike Raymond who did not mind United States to fall under the framework of the World Government, Hikigaya and Oreki does not want the World Government controlling their

nation.

It is a desire that is also shared by the Emperor of Japan

Whether it is because of Hirate ambition or the fear of losing power, of maybe there is

another reason that people do not know of, this sow the seed of conflict between the World

Government and Japan has been sown since that time.

When Japan seceded, even though there is no war between these two forces, this is only on the

surface.

The world powers sometime employ war in a different kind of way.

Secret wars, fighting with their spies.

This is because Pandemonium disallowed world wars.

At least for these past couple of years, there is no open war between the world powers. In a

way, Pandemonium even though they were reluctant has to become the world judge. One might wonder since Japana has Hikigaya at that time, if he attacks the World Government

with his cultivation power, isn't there a high probability that Japan would win?

Maybe, but it is not certain

And Hikigaya and Oreki share this same belief.

Hikigaya knows something that other people don't.

Or maybe he doesn't want to take the risk that the World Government would throw all the

things they have at him

This kind of attitude also led to restraint between two sides.

The World Government did not dare push too much and Hikigaya only gave them a few

warnings here and there and sometimes destroy a few of World Government base as a

reminder.

But now.....Now things had changed completely.
