He always knew he had many enemies. But before he t Odin, he did not know the level of his enemies
Of course, eting Wargod, Odin and Wukong also made him realize sothing. Up there, above the sky, he did not only have enemies.
But he also has beings that wanted to ally with him and wanted to help him
"The sches of gods and deities" and then he smirks. He could also be considered one of them.
Reaching even Disk Formation already made you eligible to be seen as a god in many star system
The only reason why no one worships such a being on Earth is simply because everyone could reach it
Of course the idea that everyone could reach it is also not quite tenable. Depending on how you breakthrough, so people realm end before Disk Formation
The world, even though it has lost many of its population, still has about a billion or so people.
But those who beca Disk Formation did not pass a thousand marks. And those who is in Disk Formation and reach the high realm is even more rare
This illustrates how difficult it is for soone to break through and how far of a reach is it for so people to reach Disk Formation.
The other realm could easily be reached by stacking on energy. Consuming and taking and even stealing energy in the early part has no limitations
But when you reach closer to Disk Formation, what you need is more than just energy. You need comprehension, you need luck and fortune
Comprehension is not based on intelligence. You could be the smartest person in the world but sotis the comprehension to break through did not co for you
Comprehension in this context depends more on your heart and your personality. The path you walk is superior to the path you copied.
What is suitable for you is the best
As for luck and fortune…. how do one even get luck and fortune? After all, isn't that sothing illusory? But it is not
At least in this new world with different worldly laws and rules, to gain luck an fortune, it depends on cause and effect
A good cause and effect lead to good luck and fortune and those with evil and bad cause and effect would bring about calamity and tribulations
Hence why in so world, there are people seeking rit, extinguishing evil and protecting life and defending against death.
Imagine.
In a population that has reached billions, not even one percent has the ability to reach Disk Formation
Of course, if you really wanted to breakthrough to Disk Formation you could take so shortcut.
But taking shortcuts always cos with a price. You either cut off your path imdiately or run the risk of being backlashed by your own energy
"Did not change the fact that this problem co from underestimating the obstacle in front of " his mind begins to wander, and he needs to bring back his initial thought
Knowing it now fills him only with trepidation.
But it also gave him sothing to learn. Expect the plan to go wrong.
Most of the ti, he would always expect his plans to go wrong. When he made plans, he always believed plan A would fail and so he would prepare plan B from the start. And he also assus plan B would also fail hence, he would also have plan C.
However, there are only so many plans that could be prepared before sothing really unexpected really happens
When that kind of thing happens, sothing so unexpected that it throws a wrench in every one of your plans, you could only choose to confront and overco it based on what you have at that ti
but for the Pandemonium conflict, for him to let the war rage on, there is only one plan
It is not because he could not have made any other plan. It is just the solution he could think of only has one solution
And that solution depends on him. He could have modified it if it is related to external factors.
But it is not.
It depends on him as the factor. And now this factor is now weak and the magic he could command is uncertain at best
That is not the kind of state he should be in to make sure that all the plans he set beforehand to succeed.
This si not how it is supposed to be
But Azief could not bla anyone but himself. He could have stopped the war long ti ago.
However, at that ti he believes he could still stop them. He is now finding out the limit of what he could do when his plan backfires.
Katarina could not know the turmoil in Azief heart, but he could see even when Azief is joking around with her, there is this kind of heaviness that he did not notice before
Katarina looked at Azief and spoke
"you're worried about Pandemonium?" Azief did not say anything, but his silence alone is like the answer.
"I could send a ssage to Wang Jian and Sasha that it is really you. They would not doubt it if I was the one saying it. They would open the barriers of communication and one decree from you would end the war"
But Azief shook his head
"Your words would not help. Both of them would not believe you. Both sides would think that it is the ploy of the others. And also, because….." and Azief sighed a little
He could not finish his own words
Because all of this stems from him, in a way.
He did not say anything after that. Katarina eyes narrows but then she also sighed
This war….is not Azief fault.
But to continue it was Azief decision.
He must have made so plans
What Azief did not tell her is about Lukas.
Lukas is there.
And knowing him, if he is told to choose sides, he might have chosen a side or he is playing both sides.
Considering his position and his influence on the palace, he probably is playing on both sides. Azief did not bla him.
After all, this was his order
It is also because he wanted to see any dangerous elents in Pandemonium. He is not oblivious to the fact that there is many foreign actors that have infiltrated Pandemonium
The only reason he did not deal with them is because they possess no threats and they themselves know their position.
And the other reason is that so are hidden too deeply. Sleeper agents.
In Azief minds, the way of making a sleeper agents in this era of magic is even more powerful than before
Hirate for example could even plant false mories and these false mories could even deceive the host
And since it could even deceive the host, it could also deceive whoever that is investigating
After all, even if you use so kind of mind reading technique or so kind of soul-searching thod, if the mory itself does not rember it what you would find would be nothing
The great powers all have spies on each other's soil. This is not so kind of secret
So are not quite conspicuous. While so are hidden deeply.
Azief wanted to draw out the dangerous one.
The one that did not co simply to spy but to destabilize.
Pandemonium is the strongest power in the world.
Hence, it is only logical for the other world powers to pay attention to what he would do. Azief could tolerate that.
What he could not tolerate is if they are there to destabilize this place and bring havoc to the people living there
Azief might be high and mighty now, but he was also just common person before the Fall.
Most common people talk about politics but also know they could not change anything and treated it like just empty talk
And they did not care much but pray for their life to continue to be peaceful.
Sotis they are bored but even that boredom is sothing that is pleasurable.
Other than personal problems, Azief life was quite uneventful before the Fall.
Because he understands those people, he knows that the plans of the powerful could make their life hell
And he would not wish that on innocent people.
So, he has many intentions for letting the war to go on. He wanted to cast a fishing line, and he threw a bait with that fishing line and tried to see if anything got caught inside that fishing line
To clear the turbid water all at once.
Surely soday, the water will beco turbid again. But for a few decades, the people in Pandemonium would enjoy relative peace in this world full of battles and war
That was his intention
Azief coughed
Coughed.
He coughed.
That alone should be absurd but right now he really coughed and he could not help but smile bitterly.
What is he afflicted with?
Sotis, he is fine, sotis he is not.
And right now, just trying to form thoughts in his mind requires his full concentration.
Fortunately, he is of Essence Creation and when he wanted to focus on sothing, his mind could focus on it
But if he is of a lower realm, he is quite sure he could not even hold the thoughts and even all of his plans in his head would be forgotten by himself
Did he et Loki or not? For so reason he forgets whether he had seen Loki. Did he do sothing with Loki? He is forgetting sothing.
