Lord Shadow

1554  Chaos All Over the World II

Because of the Fall, the most affected regions on Earth is Australia, China, and India.

China population which reaches nearly one billion is the past is now only around a handful of million people scattered all over the world

India is the same.

Their population was rising before the Fall but the Fall put a full stop to that reducing India population to only around two million people.

The more populated a place is before the Fall, the stronger the monster that was there. Japan was an exception

India look a lot of time to recuperate and their warlords that rise during those unstable years of the Early Fall did not help

India now have a problem that they never had before.

They have too much land and resources but not enough people to live in it.

Because of that Indian warlord lack people.

And when the Lotus Order offers them a seat on the Lotus Order Council, some of them agreed. But those that agreed exploits the Indian people

Some of those who were oppressed under the warlord attribute this to Lotus Order nonchalance.

The things that these warlords did, violated the Geneva Convention multiple times.

Even though Geneva Convention is a thing of the past, there is still a code of conduct one should not cross and this was reiterated in the World Council.

And Pandemonium look seriously at this kind of thing and even have the desire to hold the Order of Thinkers responsible for human experimentation.

The Lotus Order let the warlords in India do whatever they wanted and the ascetic rises and began to point their weapons toward Lotus Order and the warlords in India.

In China, a faction of leveller, calling themselves the "Heavenly Sword Alliance," are openly challenging the Lotus Order's supremacy.

However, this is not surprising. Evey once in a while, in China, there would be this uprising and rebellions.

There was many of such rebellions in the past. There was that Dragon Slaying League. The Yellow Sky Societies and many more

This is just another one of those rebel factions wanting to take power from the central authority

Not everyone was happy when Emperor Wei become the Lotus Order leader.

The Southeast Asian region also witnesses the "Winds of Freedom," a coalition of coastal nations and island communities, united in their quest for autonomy and resistance against the Lotus Order's expansionist policies.

All in all, the Lotus Order is in quite a bind right now

The Eurasian Steppe is also making a move trying to attack the Lotus Palace.

Amid these multiple rebellions, the Lotus Order also faces unprecedented challenges to its territorial integrity and ideological dominance.

Their resources are spread thin as they attempt to quell uprisings and reassert control.

Internal divisions and dissent among the Order's own ranks further complicate their efforts to manage the situation.

As the Lotus Order grapples with these rebellions, other world powers watch closely, contemplating whether to exploit the chaos or seize the opportunity to further their own agendas.

The delicate balance of power in Asia teeters on the edge, and the world holds its breath, uncertain of what the future holds.

On the other side of the world, in Antarctica, the Order of Thinkers had to deal with a different kind of problem

Was it because of the Multiversal Convergence? Was it because of the great fluctuation of energy that erupted in the Ten Seas during the battle between Death Monarch and Kaiju?

No one knows the cause but there is a startling development that occurs in the mysterious and dangerous Blood Sea

The Blood Sea becomes even more treacherous. It crimson water become even redder and daker.

All kinds of vision seems to appears just a few days after the war ended.

Usually, this kind of inexplicable phenomena will be a subject of fascination among scholars and researchers within the Order.

However, recent events have escalated its peril to a new level. The Order of Thinkers arrived at a terrifying conclusion after they take their measurement.

The Blood Sea has expanded its boundaries, encroaching upon nearby territories and wreaking havoc on the land.

Its malevolent influence extends beyond its original confines, causing strange mutations in nearby flora and fauna.

Creatures that venture too close to its shores exhibit abnormal behaviour and gain unnatural abilities, becoming more aggressive and destructive.

The monsters seems to become, in a simple way of speaking, Chthonian. Becoming intangible and horrifying in a way that is different than usual, attacking souls and minds.

Worse yet, reports surface of shadowy figures lurking within the Blood Sea, emerging during the night to conduct dark rituals and sacrifices.

It seems that some people have found a way to harness the power of the Blood Sea. This however did not deter the researchers of the Order of Thinkers as they become even more interested in the secrets of the Blood Sea.

The intentions of these people that sometimes emerge during the night from the deeps of the Blood Sea, remain shrouded in mystery, but their actions have escalated the danger surrounding the already ominous body of water.

Meanwhile, in South America, the League of Freedom faces a colossal threat from a titanic monster that emerged from the depths of the Amazon rainforest.

This gargantuan creature, known as "Earth Jaw," possesses the ability to manipulate the very earth beneath it, creating earthquakes and reshaping the landscape at will.

Earth Jaw colossal size and insatiable hunger for life force have led it on a destructive rampage across the Amazon, consuming all living beings in its path and depleting entire rivers to quench its unyielding thirst.

The League of Freedom, with their diverse array of formidable warriors and mages, face the daunting task of stopping this monstrosity.

But from the reports, many have died trying to stop it

with each passing day, the monster grows stronger, absorbing the essence of the land and its inhabitants.

There is talks that Narleod would bring the Storm Tide to land and face off with this monster. And that is what is happening in South America.

Then there is also North America where the World Government after returning home, also have many problems to deal with

Raymond now have the trident of Poseidon after being gifted by it by Death Monarch

Some people speculated that this is Death Monarch methods to gain the goodwill of the World Government.

It might also have something to do with Raymond path toward Divine Comprehension realm.

Currently, the World Government finds itself lacking a formidable powerhouse to effectively deter other world powers.

In the past, when Hikigaya ascended to the Divine Comprehension realm, the World Government maintained its prestigious position as one of the top three global powers.

However, the situation shifted when Hikigaya chose to separate Japan from the World Government's sphere of influence, leading Oreki and his followers to follow suit.

As a consequence of these secessions, the World Government's high-ranking members are now only at the Disk Formation realm, a level of strength that might still overwhelm smaller powers but is not on par with Pandemonium and the Republic.

Notably, Pandemonium boasts the formidable Death Monarch, while the Republic has the mysterious and mystical power of time with Jean in throne as the strongest person in the Republic

In comparison, the World Government currently lacks any Divine Comprehension realm experts, putting them at a disadvantage.

This shift in power dynamics has ignited speculation and concern among various factions.

Some interpret Death Monarch Azief gifting of the Trident of Poseidon to Raymond as an attempt to bridge this power gap and garner goodwill for the World Government.

 However, the significance of this artifact in Raymond's journey towards Divine Comprehension remains uncertain.

Nevertheless, the absence of a Divine Comprehension realm expert within the World Government leaves them in a precarious position amidst the ever-changing currents of the world's power struggles.

It appears that Hirate, the President of the World Government, is placing a significant bet on Raymond potential to achieve a breakthrough into the Divine Comprehension realm.

With the World Government currently lacking a presence at that level of power, Raymond's ascent could be the key to solidifying the organization's position as a dominant force in the world.

By gifting him the Trident of Poseidon, which holds immense power from its origin during the Multiversal Convergence, Death Monarch Azief has seemingly shown his support for Raymond's advancement.

If one thinks about it, Death Monarch had also help Hikigaya during his breakthrough to Divine Comprehension realm during the Multiversal Convergence War

The trident's origins tie it to the divine realms of Olympus, making it a potent artifact that could aid Raymond in his journey.

Hirate likely sees Raymond as the best hope to fill the void left by Hikigaya departure and to equalize the strength of other world powers like Pandemonium and the Republic.

Raymond's success in reaching the Divine Comprehension realm could make him the pillar of the World Government, providing unmatched strength and stability.

And then there is an unexpected news coming from Greece.

Rumours abound as news spreads of a potential alliance between Greece and Japan, reportedly originating from the Golden Syndicate.

While yet to be confirmed, such an alliance would undoubtedly have significant implications for the geopolitical landscape, potentially reshaping the balance of power in the world and probably creating another new world power

For Greece to consider such a strategic partnership, it's evident that they are seeking support and backing from a formidable ally.

Aligning with Japan could offer Greece the strength and resources needed to bolster its position on the global stage and pursue its interests more assertively.

And there seems to sightings of the Great Oracle in Delphi. Erika the Great Oracle is back! And with it the Seven Warlords of Greece began to move.

And when they move, Greece moves.
