Of course, he had a rough idea what that could an and how it could translate to the future but the thing about prophecies is, as Alsurt had so kindly teaches him in the past, never look at it simply
Took it to literally, you might miss the truth.
Took it too figuratively and you would end up falling into the trap of destiny and fate
And trying to prevent it sotis brings about that future.
Whatever the case, Azief had a lot of worries and it all strikes him at the sa ti.
There is Sofia waiting for him on the hill. There is Loki doing God knows what. And there are his enemies that would just love to see him fall.
They wanted him to bleed. And like sharks, they are circling the water, waiting for that blood to be shed.
It is fortunate that most of the top leader of the great power knows that this is not the ti to break relations with him
And he had secured the support of Hikigaya and Jean, the only two other people that matters right now to determine the direction of the world
Since Hirate and Jean had reached the sa step as him, he knows there is also a qualitative change in their thoughts and desires.
Not to ntion, that those two had also seen their path. Since that is the case, worldly matters would not affect them that much.
Of course, his path is not necessarily their path and vice versa.
But, Azief is quite sure that peace is the more preferable options for those two.
Jean was warlike in the past but the horrors of war, and the people he lost along the way had changed him
While he is not exactly a pacifist, he is also no longer a warmonger and war is always discouraged by him even though it is still on the table.
What Jean wanted was stability. As for Hikigaya, he is quite content on his secluded kingdom sharing it with Oreki
He did not require more and he did not have the aspiration to conquer the world.
This could be seen in the way he handles his relations with World Governnt.
He simply wants a carefree life.
But the way he is going about it is different from the Immortal Couple in pandemonium.
Unlike the Couple, Hikigaya wanted the carefree life but he also wanted to dip his feet and toes in the mortal world once in a while.
He did not want to seclude himself from people yet at the sa ti when he is tired he wants a pale where he could rest.
Carefree to many people have many different anings.
And for Hikigaya, he believes that he must have enough power to protect his carefree life and he is very vigilant.
His idea of strengthening Japan and supporting its independence from the World Governnt system while at the sa ti still benefiting from the status of the World Governnt founders shows that Hikigaya wanted safety for him and for the people he wanted to protect.
It is not quite like the Immortal Couple and since it is earned, this carefree life could be more permanent and more solid than the one that the Immortal Couple had.
And then there is Hirate
In many things, Azief would find it hard to trust Hirate. But on this matter, he would find not better ally
Hirate like the status quo. He did not want it to change.
And the Hirate that he knew now, is different from the Hirate he knew in the past
This Hirate look at the stars and worried that sothing would co down.
He truly wanted to protect the world, wanted to create a unified governnt to rule the people of the Earth, for prosperity for all and for the advancent of humanity so that they would not be on the rcy of so other intergalactic civilizations
Never again, that is one of his motto when dealing with otherworldly alien civilization.
Hirate will probably use all of his influence and power he could muster to maintain the current status quo of the Seven Great Power.
He is in favor of maintaining it and the price of maintaining it is none other than to make sure that Pandemonium still remains the great power
Pandemonium has beco the one holding the leash to all the beasts and monsters of the world. And who is these beast and monsters?
It is none other than the other four great powers, the loose organizations and the other dark forces hidden in the dark
If Pandemonium fall, especially at this mont during one of the most chaotic mont of the world since the Fall, one could only imagine the chaos and the damage it would inflict upon the world
Humanity need more ti to grow, and to populate the world.
With the death of so many people humanity has been dwindling. The quality of humans is getting better as most people that survived, did not only survived because of luck.
They beco stronger but humanity is in a downward course of population.
Sooner or later if this is not addressed, humanity would dwindle back to only millions.
And if calamity after calamity struck Earth, then before long, in this wide vast world, there would only be tens of thousands of humans.
Such number is a number that is close to extinction. How could then humanity survive and keep existing then?
Pandemonium as the strongest force had halted this destructive force as it holds the leash of monsters and forces of evil
When they wanted to do sothing, they still had to think of that man sitting on the dark black onyx throne in the highest tower of Pandemonium.
They have to think whether his sword strike could encompass the world or not. They had to think whiter a red thunderbolt would strike them down from the Heavens.
These thoughts and this fear that people have on Pandemonium had restrained these beast and monsters.
Even the World Governnt who in their most powerful state, that their military could rival of that Pandemonium did not have such deterrence effect
Because unlike the World Governnt, the fear toward pandemonium had a face. And that face is Death Monarch face.
If the World Governnt really bring out all of their thods and they were determined to die together with Death Monarch, even though the chance is minuscule now, there is still a chance that the World Governnt could fight with Death Monarch and kill him
But that would take the entirety of the World Governnt to kill Death Monarch.
Even if they succeed, pandemonium would still stand for a while enough for the remnant forces of Pandemonium to wipe out every single mbers and citizens of the World Governnt.
Doing such thing would ensure mutual destruction. It is like United States and the Soviet Union all over again
Both of them would not fight to the death because it would then devolve into a mutual destruction.
Of course, this is the situation before Death Monarch broke through to Divine Comprehension.
But the score still did not change.
True, for now, if World Governnt really does this and send all of their thods they would not be able to kill Death Monarch
But since there is now Azief who had break the ceiling of power again, the developnt of weapons will once again race each other.
A new arms race would begin again after the world calms down
Since now there is Divine Comprehension levelers, the great power would surely try to create weapons that could restrain such leveler even if they could not kill them
And it is not like the World Governnt did not have candidates that could breakthrough to Divine Comprehension.
They still have Raymond, Arno and a few other candidates that could really breakthrough to Divine Comprehension level
When any of them able to break through, then the score would once again be the sa
But, there is no worry about the World Governnt and Pandemonium falling out to such extent.
A mutual destruction is not what they both want.
Azief deed the World Governnt is necessary for the world developnt and the World Governnt did not want to fight a aningless battle.
However, the fact that the World Governnt could really fought against Death Monarch and even kill him, theoretically, does demonstrate that the World Governnt does have the power to cow the whole world
But then, the world did not fear World Governnt as they fear Pandemonium. Azief had created an image that is very strong in the minds of the people
In the past, Hirate would wanted to tear down this reputation and this image. But, now he is probably grateful that Azief had such a n image.
It could restrain the monsters of the world
Though, it also has its cons., The mont Death Monarch dies or the mont Pandemonium is crushed, then the least upon these monsters would be released and chaos would reign.
The Four Great Powers would probably instantly disband with League of Freedom probably leading the charge.
The other four great powers were influences that Death Monarch had elevated so that the world could be governed and serve as a shelter for the people of the world
He would protect Pandemonium even if he didn’t want to. Hirate is like that
Azief smiles a bit
‘It seems I am still good at playing this ga. Though, I do not like it’
