Lord Shadow

Chapter 1586 A Blinding Light

With a resolute purpose, Wargod gracefully emerged from his celestial chambers and fly outside of Interium

But he anchor himself to the speed of Interium. And the star slowly slow itself down and Wargod is now floating the vastness of space.

The stars and planets that once appeared monumental were now reduced to mere pinpricks of light as he expanded his divine form.

he opened his eyes, and the radiance of his eyes surpassed anything the cosmos had ever witnessed.

His irises blazed with a brilliant, otherworldly blue that transcended mortal comprehension, casting an ethereal glow that painted the heavens themselves.

And then his gaze descended upon a distant blue jewel within the tapestry of the cosmos—Earth.

Its vibrant, cerulean hues stood out amidst the inky void, an emblem of life's tenacity and the dance of destiny on its surface.

As he observed this distant world, Wargod thoughts transcended time and space.

The Earth, beckoned to him like a siren call. Because of that mortal

But a pressure began to envelops him from all direction. And he chuckles

And he mutters

"Still?" A question

"Still!" A word of anger.

"Still" And he sighed.

All kinds of emotions is contained. Three times he repeated a word. But each time, the words held different kind of meaning.

Each time, there is a certain emotion

First, a question.

A gentle tone.

Like an old friend asking.

And then, anger.

Like he had an ax to grind

The third time, anger.

To whose these words are given.

Why does this word sound so heartrending?

The moment he went out of his broken star, he could feel a gaze on him

And this gaze is not friendly.

Oh, not at all friendly.

A kind of feeling of death, of destruction envelops him. He could feel that gaze. And he knows who this gaze belongs to.

And with that gaze come a heavenly pressure. It is like the Universe itself is cornering him. But Wargod has always been elusive.

And powerful

But he knows what that gaze means.

He is warned by a gaze.

And a gaze is enough to pressure him. Imagine the true power of the beings who gazes at him that it could pressure him from afar.

The only way to truly break the power of this gaze is to undo the seals on him but doping that would mean war.

And a war is not what he needed right now.

And then a voice echoes in his ears, seemingly coming from an entirely different plane of existence

"Do not open the door" the word echoes in his ears.

This is another warning.

And then he hears the sound of thread, being spun, thread being tangled, the sound of scissors cutting through the thread and another voice echoes in his ears

"Do not interfere"

And Wargod listening to all of this laughed.

But he did not say anything.

The gaze came from the Destroyer. The words that echoes in his ears with a hint of cold warning is from Azul.

And the sound of thread, the sound of scissor cutting, that came from the Three Sisters of Fate.

Spinning the thread, designing the fabric, cutting the thread.

"All of you want to stop me. Impudent!" he shouted. There is anger. There is sadness

But there is no longer that feeling of desolation of hopelessness.

Hope is there, he thought and so, his gaze fell on Earth

He looks at Earth

And his eyes saw everything.

He saw the living beings there and the beings that existed there and he could not help but laughed

"Hahaha! All of this…..and more. You are all beginning to move. You all are also hoping!" he shouted.

But in this empty space, who listens to him and who take notice? Who would act and who would only see?

That being on the Garden, that being that sow the seeds of life, that Elder that travels the stars, that white wanderer, Azul, these powerful beings that escaped from the confines of fate and destiny, they could observe and at times, they could interfere.

He wanted those gods to listen.

But how could those gods listen right now when they are also plagued with their own problem.

When he gazes upon Earth, he saw some familiar figure.

He saw some beings he did not expect to see and he sees traces of some beings that have not make a move before.

He saw the Last Son of Yrinia, ,mixing among the people of Earth, the strings of the Three Fates binds tightly upon him.

"Strings all over" he muttered

Searching for the All Source, hoping for a miracle, a father that wanted to see his daughter again, a husband who wanted to once again feel the touch of his beloved.

And he saw the Acolyte of the Destroyer, Yewa Hafar. Like always, scheming in the dark preparing to celebrate the arrival of his Lord.

He saw an old wanderer with a hunched back. When he meets people, he spoke to them with riddles, ask question and issues quest.

Two ravens flies above him on the clouds, surveying the Heavens and two wolves accompany him on land

"Allfather" he mutters. He is there…..but for what reason? To make a chess piece? Or to take out chess pieces away?

He averts his gaze from Odin because he could sense that Odin is realizing that he is being watched.

And he saw a man with golden hair, inside a cave near the sea, holding a trident.

He is feeling the energy of the Earth, feeling the power of the elements, of water, fire, air, earth and everything beneath the Earth and above the sky.

"Raymond…..a chess piece of Poseidon?" And he laughed.

Some people wanted to make chess piece, and some is wanting to steal chess pieces. This kind of chess is Ethernian chess.

And it is the kind of chess that Wargod is very much familiar with. And he sense the Orvanians.

"Those scheming gooey bastard is also here" and he could not help but snorted in displeasure

"Olympus. Asgard. Orvanians. And many more will come soon"

He paused for a moment and then he remembers that Yu Wang, the Jade Emperor also has some kind of cause and effect with that boy

The word Immortal is bestowed to that boy when he was in? his tribulation and as such, Immortal energy could be used by that boy

That is sowing the cause.

But when will that cause and effect will be reaped? All of them are now placing bets.

Why should he not be allowed to? But then he smiles

"Borgan" he muttered and for a moment, a memory of ancient past flashes in his mind and he laughed like he had never laughed before.

A feeling of sadness, a feeling of happiness. And so, he look at Earth, and he did not do anything.

"too much of anything could be bad" he mutters to himself. He laughed and he looks away

And he returns back to the temple and he sleeps.

But this time, he would dream.

And he would dream a happy dream.

He believes it to be so.

As he closes his eyes, he heard a song and even as he is sleeping his mouth smiles.

And his mouth could not help but utters words.

And this word forms sentences.

And this sentence is filled with melodies.

And so, the word become sentences that become a song.

And this song echoes in a vibration of its own, and meddled with the Universe itself

Like a song that has been forgotten by time

And the song echoes endlessly, like a long-forgotten lullaby

And Wargod sleep with a? smile on his face

….

As the Eternal Rings activated, a surge of energy rippled through Azief surroundings.

"Shit" he cursed

He didn't anticipate that simply putting the puzzle together would trigger the ring's activation.

It is an unexpected turn of events.

The rings glowed with an otherworldly light, their markings spelling out the word "Hope" in Ethernian

Azief couldn't help but feel trepidation as the subtle energies emanating from the rings permeated the area.

He quickly realized that if he had set up a formation in his treehouse, he might have been able to conceal the subtle energy fluctuations caused by the activated rings.

However, at this moment, the uncontrolled release of energy could not be hidden.

But, even if he did , he probably would not have been able to stop what happened today

This is something that is destined to happen.

And while fate and destiny, when it comes to Azief is thwarted again and again, fate and destiny is never the kind of concepts that is easy to subdue and restrain

Fate and destiny would find a way

What happens today however, is the operation of fate and destiny.

Only, this fate and destiny is not the predetermined fate and destiny.

A new fate…a new destiny is being written.

The possibility of this fate…..the possibility of this destiny was low.

But from the moment that Loki came, from the moment, the changes began, it is like the ripple of a wave that is slowly turning into a storm and that possibility of fate and destiny that was so low at the beginning is now...became an inevitability

Light exploded.
