Chapter 273 - UNTIL THE END 01

MEANWHILE ON PANDEMONIUM

Pandemonium was still reeling from the battle that happened around the Pandemonium Sea.

But life was normal around the Centre Region with the people in the center still cheerfully going about their daily lives without worry.

Some people trade, some people hunt and others build. Life in Pandemonium was peaceful but also productive.

It was not a utopia but at least compared to the other regions of the world that is not under the three Great Forces it could be considered a slice of heaven.

Sometimes the people living in the Center Region would look toward the huge gigantic palace of the Center Palace and felt relieved that they live in the same region as the Death Monarch, their elusive ruler.

It is only the Mayors of the coastal cities that is quickly investing in magic formation and Arrayist to strengthen the defense around the coastal area.

They fear that if the Death Monarch once again fought around the Pandemonium Sea such scenes of gigantic wall of water washing away their city would become a reality.

The Central Government also sends some funds as it would also help them to put down many more formations and protection lines around the entire continent in case such thing should happen again.

The Central Government is ruling the government in the absence of the Three Army but none of them dares to go overboard.

General Wang Jian and the other General were away, only the Shadow Guard maintains the safety of Pandemonium.

But this is precisely why the Central Government did not dare to go overboard.

The name Shadow Guard is terrifying for the officials of Pandemonium.

They all knew the head of this organization is Sasha but other than that they knew nothing about her organization.

She directly reports to the Death Monarch and the forces under her are a secret.

Only she is maintaining the safety of Pandemonium right now under the orders of the Death Monarch.

But this did not mean Pandemonium is weak or vulnerable.

After the battle scene around the Pandemonium Sea the Pandemonium is acknowledged as probably the safest place on Earth

That golden apparition of the Death Monarch hovering over Pandemonium like a Protector God is still clear in many people mind.

Only an idiot would try to pick a fight with Pandemonium right now.

Not to mention the Three Forces of the World is now united under one cause.

Which is why the World government did not hesitate to even deploy their Golden Army to Hawaii and the Senate of the Republic approved the mobilization of the Continental Army.

Because whoever try to use this moment when the three forces is away and make trouble on their turf would be the joint enemy of the three strongest forces on Earth.

Pandemonium.

The World Government.

The Republic.

When they spoke of Pandemonium, their mind would naturally picture the image of the Death Monarch domineering, powerful, and unbeatable.

The strongest man in the world.

That title alone would deter many forces from daring to even breathe loudly in front of him

When one thinks of the World Government one would think of President Hirate and beside him is Raymond with his mace and his Golden Army, bearing the code of justice on their backs.

And when one spoke of the Republic one would obviously think of the pair of siblings that founded the organizations.

Bear King Boris Ivanov and his more famous younger sister, Katarina Ivanov the strongest woman in the world.

There are the great heroes of the world.

Who wouldn't want to be like them to be famous around the world, respected and feared their words and actions could determine the fates of millions of people.

Even when they were independent forces and did not join with each other they hold considerable influence over the events of the world and right now shaping the history of the path of humanity

But to be the enemy of these three powers at the same time?

That would be suicide. Thus now that the Three Forces is united at least for now, the world is calm.

Today, in Pandemonium, in the Centre Region the famous lover of Wang Jian went out from her residence to go visit the city.

In this bustle of the city a woman is seated inside a golden carriage. Inside it was the Fairy of the Stars Somi.

When her carriage appeared on the road, any person would give way for the carriage to pass. She then alighted form her carriage and walk.

She walks around the city for a while, buying what fancies her, and then when she got bored of the scenery of the bustling city she returned back to her residence

It is a large luxurious residence gifted to her by the Death Monarch on the southern side of the city.

Outside her residence the guards from the White Tiger Army guarded it with their lives. Everyone that walks across the residence lowers their voice, talks politely and walk reverently.

Inside her residence are many things that one would envy, beautiful nature and gardens.

Flowers' filling the garden in this residence with variety of colors and the one defining feature of this residence is that it has a river.

That is how large her residence is that it also included a part of the river trails inside her residence.

She did not follow Wang Jian in his protecting duty this time as she was needed in Pandemonium.

She looked forlorn and sad today unlike her usual appearance.

Even her maidservant did not say anything and let her wallow. They also seem to be careful not to appear too joyful and laugh.

Many people do not understand but her maidservant all understand because they knew what day is today for their lady

This is not because she misses Wang Jian or feelings sad Wang Jian would leave her here. She was not that weak.

The reason she was sad is because today is the anniversary of her sister death. She used to be one of the Seven Fairy, the youngest of them all.

In the Weronian War, she also follows them fighting the invasion.

Seeing many people lost their lives and suffering from the invasion, all of her sister joins the attacking force fighting bitterly in the front line against the Weronian.

Now, Somi is strong.

But back then?

She was terribly weak. The only thing she could do was to cry. But that woman is no longer. She already killed that child….in her heart.

She was not that naïve now….or that weak. Crying doesn't solve anything. And so she lives her life with nothing precious to hold her back.

It was Wang Jian that awakens her.

He taught her that if you live life without having anything precious to you…then that path is a path not worth walking on.

Life would be hard and would lose it appeal.

Thinking about it a gentle smile appears on her face. He was the only one that told her that it is fine to cry.

It shows that there is still something precious in one heart. It shows to you there is still something worth crying over, worth fighting over.

And while crying doesn't solve anything, it at least let one to release one frustration. And that is enough. That is how one knows that they are still human.

That they could still cry for things is not a weakness, it shows that your heart could still feel. And that is good in an unfeeling world.

Wang Jian was good at war but god damn he sucks at love.

That is why thinking back the effort she had to go through to pierce through that dense head of his to love her back sometimes fills her with a little bit of frustration.

And then her thought go to her sisters again.

She remembers it all.

She remembers their smile at the end of their lives as they imprinted their souls into the swords and give her the sword possession.

There were so many things she wanted to tell them. There were so many things that she regretted

But now, all of them are dead and only she survives.

Their seven swords are all inherited by her.

She alone could employ the Big Dipper Formation and her Seven Sword enables her to jump level and fight people of higher cultivation.

Combined with Wang Jian understanding of battle formation that helps her devise many new ways of using her swords, she could be considered an expert of this generation.

If not for the shining brilliance of heroes like the Death Monarch, Ice Queen, Earthshaker, and her wish to remains as low profile as possible this unassuming little girl would probably be mentioned in the same breath as them.

The wind passes her by and that feeling strikes her and her eyes turns moist. She dismisses her maidservants as she walks towards the river.

She walks slowly along the river as she hears the sound of the rivers flows, calm and gentle. The blowing wind brush her cheek as it passes by.

The leaves fluttering and falls down as her heart remembers them.

Looking upwards and seeing the clear distant sky, it is awakening her forgotten memories. And just like that it felt like her heart is being torn apart.

It hurts every time she thought about them but she did not want the memories to fade. There is a thing like that.

No matter whether that memory would make one feel hurt, it is still precious. Some people that for her to move forward, she needs to let go.

In order to be free, she must let go. And then she remembers what Wang Jian said to her. Did she really need to let it go?

Just forget you sadness and look ahead? But she wouldn't be fine that way. And Wang Jian knew that

The memories hurt her…but it also gives her the strength to keep moving. Because she knows she would be wasting the sacrifice of her sister if she died meaninglessly.

And before she knew it her tears falls and it just won't stop.

She has stopped walking.

She was standing beside the flowing river as the sunlight glistening reflected from the water.

Her eyes were full of tears. Then she said

'Time plays a cruel game, tying people fate together only for a while. There is no banquet that last forever but it would have been nice for it to last a little bit longer' She closes her eyes and the tears keep falling down.

'Only in distant dreams I see you, sisters' she said as she looked upward. Like the stars on the sky, they seem so far.

'The Seven Fairy' she muttered

Sohye the Alioth, Doyoen the Mizar, Yoojung the Alcor, Nayoung the Alkaid,Chungha the Megrez, and Sejeong the Phecda.

She remembers them all….and all of them dead.

Except her.

The whole world knows the strong brotherhood of the Death Monarch Azief and Will the Speedster where they would not hesitate to die for each other but how many remembers that the Seven Fairy sisterhood is as strong as them?

That six of them sacrificed their lives during the Weronian War just to save her?

She then opens her eyes and sighed. She walks along the river trails until she reached the end of that trail.

If she wants to follow the river trail she need to went out from her residence. As she looks at the wall in front of her she just sighed.

That night she only eats a few meals before retiring to her room.

Her maidservant returns to their courtyard and the guards start patrolling. The night was quiet and another day has passed in Pandemonium.

She put her head on her pillows and falls asleep. She hopes she would dream of her sisters on the anniversary of their death. It was a small wish.

And then something strange happens.

She was in a Plain suddenly. A vast expansive Plains. At first Somi felt dumbfounded but then her eyes shows anger.

'What is happening? Who is it? Show yourself!' Somi knows this is highly unusual. And she is starting to get angry.

She knows she just put her head on her pillows. And then she drifted into sleep. But she also knows that whatever she is seeing right now is no mere dreams.

This is a guided dream.

Someone is in her head right now.

She rarely being attacked mentally but she saw many people that suffers from mental attack and they all describe their experience to her after they were healed.

Like they were in a dream.

'Do not be angry, Fairy of the battlefield' A voice resonated across this vast plains. Then the wind inside this dream blows gently as it brushes Somi cheeks.

Then from the distance Somi could see a person. That person is slowly walking toward her.

She looked at the man full of scrutiny while at the same time trying to use her energy to break from this dream.

But to her astonishment she could not break this dream. The man could sense that Somi trying to break from the dream.

But he only smiles.

'I mean you no harm' the person said when he reached in front of Somi

It was a young man. He is wearing wolf fur clothing, and his body seems muscular but not overly muscular, looking just perfect

He was smiling like there is nothing in the world that would faze him. He has long silver hair and his hair covered his left eyes.

He could be considered a beautiful young man.

'My name is Rafah.' He said with a pleasing tone.

If Loki was here he surely would be shocked beyond belief. Because he knows this young man.

Even if this young man changes his face and his aura, Loki would still recognize it.

People could change their aura, could change their appearance, but there are a few things one could not erase easily.

Karma.

If Loki uses his Eye of Karma he would see the Karma that is around this man. It seems to be connected with many things in the Universe, so numerous that it would be suffocating.

Even if this person cut his Karma thread, Loki recognizes this soul.

This young man that introduce himself as Rafah is none other than Yewa Hafar, the last Acolyte of Dark Tidings

He would bring with him war, suffering and death as his Master descends. He is to pave the way for his Master to descend.

Loki has been trying to search for him since the beginning but to no avail. However, Loki must be shocked that Yewa Hafar would show himself in front of one of the Seven Fairy

Because in the original timeline the Seven Fairy did not even live past the few initial stages of the Fall.

In other words, the Seven Fairy is the Uncertainty Factors in Loki calculations. Loki calculates Karma among other things.

But in his calculation there would of course be a few calculation errors. And calculation error happens when the Uncertainty Factor is not considered in the initial equation.

Uncertainty factor is what he referred to people who were supposed to die but live in this new timeline

And when Somi alone survived after the Weronian War, Loki believes that the effect that a Lone Uncertainty Factor could do to affect the big picture is infinitesimal.

But this time Loki miscalculates in a big way.

Who would have known that Yewa Hafar would seek Somi, the one person that Loki thought would never enter into this game of chess.

In a way, Somi is now a pawn in this high stake chess game that would determine the fate of all universes.

The moment Yewa Hafar appears before her, it means she plays a part in this game. The future is moving into a different story than what Loki has known.

One miscalculation and the trajectory of the future would change so drastically that maybe Loki himself would not know how all of this would end

There must be something special about her for Yewa Hafar to visit her in her dreams. After all Yewa Hafar would never shows himself in front of someone that is useless for his objectives.

It is the most undetectable way to contact someone in a world where powerful people could use their Divine Sense to detect people.

This is why many people fear Hirate of the World Government. He could contact anyone without being caught.

And he could send dreams and even coded message inside the dream.

While the Death Monarch do not fear and even disdain Hirate but only he could act like that.

With his Perfect physique even his mind is hard to penetrate. To try to breach the defense of the mind of Death Monarch is almost impossible unless they are stronger than him.

But to other people, The Mind Master is a terrifying existence. Nobody likes it when your thoughts are lay bare in front of other people.

Somi is still looking at the young man and being cautious.

If Loki knew Somi would play a part in this matter, especially in the matter of the descent of the Destroyer, Loki would not have hesitated to use all of his resources to watch her every move regardless of the cost.

Because there is only one matter that would concern Yewa Hafar that it would force him to make a move.

He has no interest in the All Source because he could not touch it, he has no interest in fighting or destroying this world.

His only interest, his only wish is to fulfill the wish of his Master.

The Unholy Destroyer.

'What is your intention of entering my dreams?' Somi said, her voice tone was high and she is showing that she is angry.

The young man still smiling and then he said

'I could give you what you wanted. With the power bestowed in me by my master I could resurrect the lives of your sister.'

Hearing this all of sudden of course Somi was shocked but then her eyes narrowed.

She at first doubted the man but there is just something that makes her think that this young man in front of her is not lying.

She doesn't know why she felt this way.

'And what do you want for doing such things?' Yewa Hafar then said

'Just a little thing you need to do for me in the future' Somi contemplate but then doubt arose in her.

What could someone like her do for him?

She is not as famous as other people and while she is powerful there are a lot of other people in the world that is more powerful than her if he needed help

So she said

'I am not as powerful as you think that I deserve to get such a great reward'

Yewa Hafar shakes his head.

'You are capable of so much more….if you were given guidance.' He said, looking at Somi with shining eyes

Somi contemplate for a moment and ask

'And what it is that you require for me to do?'

Smiling Yewa Hafar answer

'To line up the starry skies to create a road'
