Chapter 992: The world below and the heavens above (2)
Nanobots by the trillions swarmed the land and reconstructed large building in seconds, the soils and the material for the construction taken from the debris and damaged and recycled into building material
A self-artificial intelligence that knows what it should do
The task of the controller of these swarm of nanobots that is flying around all over Pandemonium is a technopath.
This class could not be called a special class. One could say that is a mutation of the Builder class.
There is not a lot of technopath but they are quite useful in mechanical and technological matters.
There is also an army of robots that is send to various part of Pandemonium to eradicate low level monsters.
They located these monster by using all kinds of detection technology that has not been revealed before.
One could see that Pandemonium rarely shows its trump card and today most of its trump card was revealed.
One could only wonder what else is Pandemonium hiding
Recovering is going good.
Everyone did not feel scared as long as Death Monarch is here in Pandemonium.
Even if Death Monarch did not meet them, as long as they know he is here, that alone is a great boost to morale.
Even when he was ion Pandemonium, rarely he meets the officials other than when he summons them or when there is a matter of great urgency that needs to be addressed
Other than that, they rarely meet with Death Monarch.
They all believed that Death Monarch went back to the old caves where he used to breakthrough to enter seclusion.
They did not mind it and they did not blame him. Today Pandemonium depends heavily on the deterrence power of Death Monarch
The stronger Death Monarch is; the stronger Pandemonium became. Since that is the case, why would they blame Death Monarch to want to become stronger.
The cave area is also guarded by some of the units of the Shadow Guard which makes people believe that Death Monarch is really is still in Pandemonium
They could not be further than the truth.
Because Azief did not go there.
Instead, he went somewhere else
In the darkness of space, outside of Earth, Azief is there floating with thirteen auras intertwining and swirling around his body
It distorted the space around him as the space around him bends and cracks, and the space dust around him was repelled.
Azief opens his eyes, his eyes shining with a blue light glinting with gold.
‘Hmm’ he mutters to himself
When he closes his eyes just a moment ago, his Divine Sense was concentrated on Earth, looking over at Pandemonium.
Seeing that it is quickly recovering with the proper measure being taken, he felt satisfied and at ease.
He retracted back his Divine Sense and like lightning that flashed by, his Divine Sense flew back into his mind.
His control over his Divine Sense had rose up again.
This time, probably no one realizes that he had covered the entire earth with his Divine Sense.
It is easier to cover it when looking at it from the outside, he thought to himself.
Though, he recognizes that not everything was revealed under the surveillance of the Divine Sense
There were many things and places that comes from the Otherworlds and it would take time before they could truly be assimilated with Earth Prime.
So, some of these places could not be seen clearly by his Divine Sense.
If he had a lot of time in his hand he would not mind swooping back down and check these places one by one to know what makes them so mysterious
But as you would have it, he did not have much time.
To people six days is a lot of time.
Even more so for someone like Death Monarch who could dapper whenever he wanted even on this new Earth, unconstrained by such thing called distance.
Ironically, only Azief himself knows that he did not have much time.
Six days is a short time for anyone wanting to attempt a breakthrough.
That is not to mention, the breakthrough that Azief wanted to try is not the lower level breakthrough which did not have that much of an effect but instead trying to breakthrough to the higher level
Even though Azief feel that he was prepared, he knows the only way to know for sure is to attempt it. Then, he would truly know whether he was ready or not
He sighed when thinking of this.
The day has not yet ended.
But it felt like years. Everything today happens in a fast pace. Who knows how many things happened today that he did not know?
He looked again at Earth below him. It is hard to determine direction on space. So, he could only determine the direction by making him as the marker.
The blue planet seems to be more mysterious than ever and even more mystical than ever. Azief did not know whether that is a good thing or not.
Below, how many schemes were hatched, how many plots are being planned right now?
He is not at Earth right now.
He bets some of those people are having a field day.
Some of them would be sad and some of them probably maintaining their wait and see approach if they knew about it
But for all intent and purposes, all of the people in the world seems to think he is in Pandemonium.
Sasha cooperated with him and she even set some guards around the cave to make it seems like he is in Pandemonium.
She always knows what to do.
A really competent helper. There is probably no higher compliment that Azief would give to people in his court
As for the only other two people that could see him in space right now, Hikigaya owe him big and Jean is someone that would not want more chaos to happen.
So, those two would not say anything
He calms himself down and thought about the reaction of the people.
‘And Loki’ He mutters silently in his heart
How would he forget Loki?
Even now, he is still thinking about what Loki had done.
Azief is adept at political intrigue. But he rarely uses it on Earth prime. Because he had never needed to use it.
Now, he had uses it. And he is now using his mind to derive some understanding of Loki next move.
He wonders what Loki would do right now.
It is clear that Loki probably had been planning this for a long time.
That is why there were so many foreshadowing about it like him leaving Pandemonium, cutting off his relationship with Pandemonium and so on and so forth. Azief was sure that if he pays more attention, he could probably see it.
But alas, it is not easy when your opponent is someone that comes from the future.
‘Fighting against a time traveler’ he thought to himself and he almost chuckles thinking of the absurdity of it all
It seems since the Fall, absurd thing keeps happening that normal just take a whole other meaning
Azief wonders what would have happened if Loki did not take the blame for him?
What would happen in that scenario? Since he could foresee this, Loki probably knows the answers to this
Maybe that is why he had taken the blame. And Loki even made the plan almost foolproof. If there is one thing that Azief had done to disrupt the matter was that he announced joint responsibility with Loki.
Still, the brunt of this matter would still fall on Loki shoulders.
After all, he had been the one that announces the matter and he even had the cooperation with Mind Master.
Probably if Azief take the blame what happens would be the same as Loki timeline.
And what happens in Loki timeline must have been bad enough to force Loki to bear this blame
That is the conclusion that Azief arrived at
Yes, Azief himself began trying to research what happens in Loki timeline. The vision he saw when he was with the Oracle makes him very curious.
He had confirmed Loki words and he had confirmed his worry about the future when he was with Erika.
Loki did not lie to him about the part where he destroys the Universe.
Looking at him in the future, he is not only capable of it, he seems to be very eager in destroying it.
Of course he did not see it happen, but looking at that battle, he was pretty sure what that battle would cause to the Universe
As for the betrayal of Sofia, he sees that there might be an extenuating circumstances.
However, the last reminder that the Oracle had left him when he was about to leave still echoes in his ears.
Sofia would be his downfall.
That is one of the reminder of the Oracle towards him
That is not the reason he cares that much about that sentence. It is the other part of the word
She said that he would be her downfall.
