Chapter 1204 - The Protagonist I

'This is really the protagonist of this story' that is what Azief felt when he looks at Aero.

Even though Azief himself right now is a godlike figure, able to do many godlike feats, he was not always like this

Aero seems to have possess something that he did not. 

An overwhelming confidence in himself. 

He lacks doubt toward himself. 

It is something that Azief quite envies. He is quite cunning but he did not stray far away from the template of a hero. 

The sound of the saber cutting flesh and the cacophony of screams and shouts echoes all over. 

Even though Azief had already speed up the scene, he still had to process all the scenes and the sound in his mind. 

Azief is not interested in this battle and he created two different time stream in that moment. 

He let the battle in the area to accelerate while the time stream around him slows down. He wanted to look around this area. 

While the killing is continuing in the field of battle, somewhere else in the Plain, there is another development that is happening.

In the distance while Aero and people like him is fighting for the beast, fighting for the chance of the point that it would give, the people that did not participate in the large war for the skill points run on the other directions of the Plain.

Some of them run to the north, and some of them run to the east.

And Azief follows them. 

While he could use his Divine Sense here, he could feel it a bit disturbed and he attributed it to this world unstable laws. 

And he does not want to destroy this projection so he had to look around in the old fashioned way.

He thinks of it as a mirror and his Divine Sense like a hammer. If he smashes the mirror, the mirror would surely break

He follows those people that is running away from the battle and he discovers a very interesting things

There is a man that leading a group of people. Aero might not know this but Azief could see that this man is also connected to Aero fortune.

And this man himself had a fortune of his own. This man is wearing a white armor with the crest of a lion roaring standing on top of a mountain.

Azief stop time for a second and then put his hand on top of this man. And then he got all the memories if this person.

This person is Marquis Dan. At least that is his title in this game. Azief don't know his real life memories because it is block by that haze inside every of the player minds.

But Azief does know that this person also appears in Arial world. Like Aero, this person was also deified by the Lost Generation

The Lost Generation worship seven deities

Aero the Allfather whose is also the King of the Gods, Arianna the Virgin Goddess also known as the Goddess of Wisdom, Zeus the God of War, Michaela Goddess of Art, Kyle Callidus the God of Trickery, Amanda Domus who is the Queen of the Gods and Goddess of Household which translates to Goddess of Marriage and Dan Virtus God of Kind Endeavour. 

This is that Dan, the God of Kind Endeavour. Azief had once saw his twelve feet statue in an old ruin in Earth X

Unlike Aero, the resemblance between this Dan and his statue in Earth X is uncanny

Dan Virtus in Earth X is also known as a God that govern over the rites of hospitality and is said to reward kind people with great fates and destiny. 

If he is not of Earth Prime and instead the inhabitant of Earth X, he would probably be pretty mind blown right now, seeing the beginning of these mythical Gods in the history of Earth X

Dan appeared far away from Aero position. 

Azief could see that in the distance, the battle is still going on in the middle of the plains.,

But unlike Aero, Kyle and some other people, they did not participate in the hunting of the sabretooth

Instead, they run away trying to leave this place. And the people that followed Dan are his followers and his subordinate 

When other run to scramble for the skill points, he instead chose to bring some of those people he knew when he was Marquis away from the battle and death.

Azief also knows that the quest is to seek a Gate. 

Azief himself could not see the status window of the system of these people but he could guess from their memories and their conversation. 

And his decision is giving him an edge of advantage over the others in the quest to seek the Gate?

When he run to the East with other people of Western Heaven they run away fast and they run away far

He is unlike others and knows himself. 

He is not like some people who joined the battle and then retreated after finding out that there is no hope for them to compete against the many elite people. 

Dan from the very beginning could see how that beast is a bait.

If he had powers or abilities like Aero he would not have mind participating even though if he knew it was a bait, but he knows while he is strong, he alone could not fight a tide of men.

And while he did not kill the possibility that he could still get the skill points, there is one stark difference between him and the other people that have equal power to him

And that was, he is not greedy.

Instead, he gathered the people around him and the people that resided in his fief in that game world and promise them that he would protect them

The people trusted Dan because he is the Marquis of the Empire of Vanheim, an empire in the game world

Though Azief doubt that this world is just a game world anymore. Something had fundamentally change and that change is now being completed.

Azief could feel the birth of a world…and he could feel it, its heart beating. Unnatural birth of a world and a system

Azief wonders whether this world is created inside the Omniverse or is it created in a hidden dimension.

Or is it on the Uncharted System. Azief once heard of the Uncharted System. The Sea of Nothingness. It had many names.

Some called it the Chaos Sea. Some called it the Uncharted Lands. Some called it Uncharted Emptiness and so on and so forth

It had as many names as there is stars. 

What they all agree was that this area of void has space though not in the way we think of space

No one knows how to travel to it and not one knows if there is anything in it or around it or in between.

And no one knows whether it was possible for things to even live there. 

It is an area that it outside of the Omniverse, an independent space that is not claimed by the Omniverse.

But wherever it is, Azief could feel that there is some kind of generation of energy. This is something that these players could not feel or even sense. 

It is like a premonition, like an instinct. 

He follows Dan and Dan is gathering more and more people around him and he was lucky enough to even be reunited with his officers. 

They survived the beast instead of trying to fight the beast. 

One could see that people truly believe in Dan since they could hold back their temptation to get skill points.

Azief found out that skill points seem to be very important for these players. 

He could also see that the game is changing. 

Azief knows how the game is played because he investigated the company and the game itself.

But now, the game seems to change it and Azief could sense that the emerging world is also trying to make sense of this player to the native or the NPCs.

Azief felt that the energy he felt before was the NPC given true intelligence and not only that but also souls. 

That is the only thing that could generate that kind of power. Alsurt once said to him that a pure soul could even light up an entire Universe.

And after they went away from the center of the battle they finally reach the end of the plain and Azief felt it was interesting when he saw the edge of the plains

This plain is not a normal plain at all. It is not surprising since you could not really judge this plain as a real plain. In this fake world anything could happen. 

These people are not on a plain where there is only hills and mountains. They are on a large plateau.

And the area they come from was a curved area. 

So from their vantage point, they thought on the other side was a mountain range and more hills and even the sea in the distance when instead it is large flat land and if you walk to the end of that large flat land you will see that you are on a large flat plateau with a curved area on the middle.
