He of course doesn't believe that Loki is truly joining the Cri Alliance for protection.
So people thinks that the reason Loki went to the Cri Alliance and joins the Cri Alliance is because Loki doesn't want to implicate Death Monarch and to resist the target of the world powers against him
Azief don't think that Loki plan is that simple. With Loki, Azief had learned that nothing is like what it seems
Maybe Loki needed an excuse.
Azief know that even before Loki beco a Regent of Pandemonium, even before then, he pays quite the attention to the Cri Alliance.
Him accepting the bla for the event of the Multiversal Convergence might be a way in for him to enter the Cri Alliance.
Loki must have a plan there.
Azief thinks it might be to infiltrate the Cri Alliance or to facilitate so kind of plots that he have
Of course, he could not say this with certainty. After all, he is missing many things. And he could not get all these answer in one day.
The World Powers, Loki, Sofia, Katarina, there is myriads of problems that he had to solve the mont he returns back to the world
As for Will, he seems to be missing. He was there at the hill for a few days before he suddenly went missing.
Azief had use his Divine Sense to try to find him but there is no result. But knowing Will, he might be entangled in so speedsters-related thing.
He does have the desire to put Will as the Regent.
After all, Will is soone he trusted. But, Will is not soone that the people of pandemonium trusted.
And the forces of Pandemonium probably would not listen to him
And it is doubtful that Will would even accept such thing for him. Will knows nothing about governing and politics.
This is the imdiate problem that he needs to solve. Who would rule in his absence? Pandemonium is not like before.
The organization that is in pandemonium could devolve into chaos without a clear chain of command.
The Three Army is loyal to him but there is conflict between them and the Central Court. The Central Court did not like the army exercising political power in their sphere of control.
Then there is the Shadow Guards who is his personal eyes and ears.
While they do not possess an official power, they are without a doubt the most powerful organization in Pandemonium.
Azief thinks a few candidates for his position. Sina is one of the candidate. She is the leading figure of the Central Courts officials.
But Sina has her problems. She promotes people she likes and protect the people she knows. In a small microcosm of relationship that would work great
But in a large place and especially for an organization that would rule such large continent like this such trait is not desirable.
Saying it kindly, Sina is loyal to her friends. Saying it in another way, she practices nepotism
And the other thing is Sina herself is not that good in governing and balancing things.
There is also Wang Jian.
But Wang Jian is not soone he could put as a candidate. He could but he expects that if Wang Jian is the one to beco his successor, then the Central Court might not listen to him
Azief did not have many friends and he did not have many true allies. He had Sofia, Loki and Sina.
He and Sofia had broken up and he did not know where she is right now.
he chose not to know where she is right now. As for Loki, he seems to have his own plans and he doesn't seem that interested in being under the watch of Pandemonium care.
In this whole wide world, Azief reckon he is the only one that knew that Loki co from the future and have future knowledge.
And that future knowledge had sothing to do with him. Azief had confird so of the things that Loki had said when he travels to the future with Will.
As such he knew that Loki was not lying and because of that Azief could not help but think that the reason why Loki did not return to Pandemonium is because he does not want his plans to be revealed to him
As for Sina, she is not suitable.
She is more inclined to spend ti in her alchemical room and perfected her understanding of the Philosopher Stone.
From what he knows, Heaven Flute Lihua abilities is recovered by Sina Philosopher Stone. Wang Jian is loyal and dedicated to Pandemonium.
He is the typical loyal general.
Wang Jian background was a young boy born in poverty in Beijing. He is an orphan and live very hard. Yet, he does not lose his morals as he was rescued by a kind old man.
Knowing his life story, Azief even think that Wang Jian life is like a movie of the underdog finally reaching the peak of life.
He did not graduate to high prestigious university but only finish high school. He works as a hard laborer and have many friends
If the Fall did not happen, Wang Jian would probably be only a naless person in the world. A poor young man that lives a poor life.
Though knowing Wang Jian personality, he might not live such a bad life. But the Fall happened and Wang Jian beca one of the Three Great Generals of Pandemonium.
He is very loyal to Pandemonium. Even though it was Loki that recruited him, Wang Jian is loyal to the throne of Pandemonium.
The problem with him is that if he is given the regency, Azief fears that the power of the military would drastically oppresses the Central Court.
That is also not a developnt that Azief is willing to see.
There is no one he could trust. As for leaving Sasha as the leader, she did not have the trust of the major factions in Pandemonium.
He could not help but sigh thinking about all this. he then pushes the intercom on the right side of the desk
'Summon Sasha to the office' then he cut the contact.
This is the task for today.
After this, he decided to rest for a few hours before researching the diamond-like cube that he got when he went to that mystical place.
He understood how the diamond like cube works. To activate it, he could stick it in the ground before a structure of the Etherna would appear.
Since this structure would be permanent, it is recomnded that he pick the right place.
The way he knows about this is that when he sends his Divine Sense toward the diamond-like cube, the way to activate it enter his mind
He decided to hold it off.
Because he needs to personally pick a place for this structure. He thought of sothing when he got the information from the cube.
Isn't it like the Sun Stone in the Superman stories. Funny thing is, there is a Sun Stone in the Universe.
He once heard that there is an intergalactic, interdinsionary fleets of space rchants that sells all kind so things and one of the things that they could sell is a Sun Stone.
The rchant of Sarens. That is what he rembers about Sun Stone and the fleet of rchants that sell it.
'If I survive this, this legacy of the Etherna could probably show the path forward. I might not walk their path but it is good to take references. And I might even have new comprehension about the step after the Essence Creation. Still…...I need to survive this first'
Azief himself did not know what is contained in the diamond-like cube.
But he had a guess that it might contain more legacies of the Etherna, and there might even be all kinds of knowledge of the world.
Azief did not know this. But if Loki knows that Azief had such thing, he would probably be the one most shocked. And if Yewa Hafar know this, he would probably felt like he is going crazy.
If the event of the Multiversal Convergence shows that the script had changed a bit, this fortuitous serendipity of having the access to the Etherna legacies is basically rewriting a whole new plot for the future
If the tiline was not erased by the Ti God at that ti during the End, right now, one could see that the tiline would actually diverge so much that the way forward is now filled with fog.
But right now, this is the true and the only tiline of the Earth Pri.
As such, unknowingly Azief is now standing on the verge of a different future, of a different him and of a different ending
Sotis, the most impactful stuff happens when you did not even realize it. That was always the case.
In history there is always thing like this. When one battle was lost, so people would not attribute it to sothing big.
But soti that one loss of a battle is actually the precursor to the fall of an empire.
A birth of a person soti is regarded only as a common occurrence.
But then one would be surprised to find out that the person who was born to be so ordinary would grow to conquer the whole known world
They did not know that they were in that montous mont.
That is the story of history.
