Lord Shadow Chapter 1871: Audacity



Yet, Azief did not know what this statue could do to help Will or his teacher.

He sweep the statue with his Divine Sense but even then he could not find anything weird.

Most of the ti, he would accept that such a thing has no other function. But this is Wargod.

His thods are even more mystical than his and his thod of concealing things is surely would be even more sophisticated.

Surely, if he wanted to hide sothing from him, it would not be much effort for him. Wargod did not mind at all asking Azief question

"The Savi'krian race does not only know how to run, you know" And he sighed

"If the only thing they know how to do is run, then maybe they would not provoke things that they should not provoke and veer into taboo territory. Then if that did not happen, they would still be here. But "if" is the playthings of the Devil"

He laughed and then he continue explaining

"The Savi'krian race have their own fighting thod. In their rise from primitive race to the ti hopping, space travelling race, they forget the essence and their fighting thod has lost its substance"

He sighed

"They rely on their speed to just fight. Of course, that is not enough" he paused for a second and then added

"Their ancestors used to imitate griffins, direwolves, birds and slithering creatures, things that fly in the sky and swim in the sea. And not only that, other creatures was also imitated in creating their own fighting thod"

"Such as?" Azief ask

Wargod continue answering Azief question without any reservation

"There is totem thod where they took the soul of the beast and implant that beast soul to aid them in fighting. Aiding them"

"Then, there is the thod of celestial arts derived from the movent of these beast. The beast that once road the land of Savi'krian are blessed by heavens and when they made their moves, they move in accordance to the will of heaven"

"Imitating that, the Savi'krian race ancestors manage to defeat these beast and beco the final winner just like how humans beco the dominant species on your world"

"There is also summoning thod. Cursing thod. The ancestors of the Savi'krian race was very innovative"

"Where one path doesn't work, they would think of a way top walk another path. No hesitation, only determination to keep forging forward. The predecessor however, rely on only one thing, obsessed with power and strayed from the path of their ancestors"

"I do not claim all of the ancestors of the Savi'krian race advice are all good. But in essence, there is many more good than bad. The predecessor should take what is good and throw what is bad. Instead throwing it all out like lashing out. Though, the young always thinks that they are invincible" He chuckles again and then added

"And the old....always think that they are right" And he could not help but laugh, his laugh echoing all over the forest.

There is waves of sounds that ripples the air and ti as his laugh even affect the laws of the world.

It causes the bush to be blown away, and the trees to shake violently but it did not affect Azief, or Samara or Will.

It was like even the energy coming out from Wargod unintentionally could be controlled to this level.

Wargod did not know how Azief feel right now as he continues his explanation as he pointed toward the statues around the path leading to the entrance of the Temple.

"All of these statues has so traces of Savi'krian race. If they are lucky, they would understand it when they see it. But all of these requires fate and destiny. If the fate and destiny is there, they would understand it. If not, then that is just their fate and I could force it"

Azief hearing this nodded as he walk forward toward the temple entrance.

Azief has many questions. He wonders about sothing

"You said you are not interested in the Savi'krian race. Why do you have a statue that the ancestors of the Savi'krian race uses?"

Wargod smiles but his smile could not be seen by Azief who is walking beside him.

The smile is brief. Secretly. Faintly

"The statues are not mine"

"Who is it?"

"There is soone in the Omniverse that is called the Collector" Wargod chuckles a bit and it

is clear form his expression and from the way he speaks about this person that Wargod quite admired this person

Azief could tell these things easily.

Wargod continue saying

"He wears a red hat, a funny three-piece suit and where he appears, rainbows would precede

him"

"A bit like leprechaun?" Azief mutters

"Hmm? Leprechaun? What's that?" Wargod ask.

Azief chuckles

"nothing"

Azief now knows another powerhouse of the Omniverse.

Even though he only knows the na, and never t this so-called Collector but for soone who could be spoken like this y the Wargod with a hint of admiration must not be soone

small

"The Collector, what did he collect?" Wargod smiles

Azief is asking question nonstop. Is it rude?

It is.

Especially when the one you are speaking to is Wargod.

No one would ask this many question to Wargod even more if they are walking side by side with this legend

Because all of them would be awed by him or struck by fear the mont they are beside this

being.

Just by walking side by side would made them feel extrely honoured. They would not ask

for more

Not to ntion, when speaking about taboo things and speaking about beings that is powerful, especially when the question could lead to owing soone, there is cause and

effect that could be established.

Loki rarely ask question to beings stronger than him because he knows that when that question leads to sothing powerful, it could even affect karma and cause and effect

But Azief on the other hand seems to have no reservation unlike his usual cautious thod.

Wargod is also quite intrigued right now with the audacity of Azief.

He never expected to be questioned this much when he first imagined seeing this child

It is no wonder why even Wargod feel that this is weird

Wargod has studied Azief a lot.

After all, he has been preparing for this eting from the mont that Azief walk that

Supremacy Stairway.

At that ti, he sees hope. That is the cruellest thing of all....to have hope. And at first, he wanted to deny it. But more and more things changed and his hope becos stronger and

stronger

So, he studied him. Studied his personality. So that he could know of this Child that is spoken

in ancient prophecies.

Of course, he knows that the chid in the prophecy doesn't have to be Azief. At any point in ti, Azief could have chosen another path, another route and he would have veered off path from the destiny and fate of the Child of the End

This is what Wargod had seen in that first tiline. And he had seen it again in this tiline.

But yet, each choice that Azief had made, each choice brings him closer to that prophesied

figure.

Each choice the Child made strengthen his connection with the Destroyer. One by one, step by step, coming closer to that fate.

And when the new tiline was created, the Destroyer had already decided that Azief would

be that Child. Because he already won.

He won. He won with that child.

One mistake in the hovel, and suddenly everything is turned back again. If the Destroyer

knows how to be angry, he would probably be pretty angry.

But the one that made that mistake is the Supre One. At least that is the superficial knowledge he got.

Though, Wargod doesn't really believe that it was a mistake. And the Gardener also doesn't

believe in it either

The Supre One probably chalk the mistake because it is up to human effort. But one would be remiss not to realize that there is a lot of help from the divine too in those matters.

But that is another matter. Wargod look at Azief but his stare did not scare this mortal at all.

Wargod is curious

"Why are you not afraid of ?"

Azief smiles

"Should I be?"

"No, you shouldn't. But I never said I would not hurt you. How are you so sure that I would

not hurt you? Your trust and familiarity to .....is almost unreserved."

Azief chuckles

"You go to all this trouble to bring here. I have the legacy of Etherna. With all of that

effort, if your objective is to snatch that legacy from , you would not have been so polite"

"I never knew the Wargod in stories and lore's is so polite to mortals. Since you are this polite

to and being so generous, then I doubt that you intention is to attack or snatch the legacy from "

"If you wanted to snatch it, with my strength I am unable to stop you. I did not entirely know what you are planning, but I doubt that it would be to hurt . And if that is the case, then I

should learn many things from an ancient beings like you."

Wargod smiles

And then he laughs
