Chapter 351 - GRAND PATH (4)

At the sound of the crack a grand explosion erupted in the air above space. It exploded with energy that it seems to parted all the clouds in the southern hemisphere.

It turns out that Azief and the Will of the World fight has gone out from Earth already as they are just a shy away from Earth atmosphere.

The thin string becomes thinner and it gave buzzing weak sound like a whimper.

The energy of the Heavens was breached and a different kind of Will usurped it. No…it is melding into it, taking away some of its specialty and devouring the useless things in that Will.

Light shattered around the thin string.

It was like the thin string was bombarded by the might of a creature that stand in defiance and run contrary to the principle of heavens.

What is the thing that Heaven believe stand on contrary against them?

Perfection!

It is a taboo and an existence that is hated by any Will of the World. Because only the Heavens could be perfect

Azief kind of understand that. It is why he was subjected under such punishment. Perfection is rare.

It is not exaggerated it almost extinct. Such being that pursue perfection either die midway or succeed and become a Supreme Being in the vats Universe.

The reason why it was so hard to pursue Perfection was because of the constant need for more energy to absorb and refine.

But on Earth, Azief knows he could cultivate his Path until the end. Because the world has the World Orb.

The thin string in the grasp of Azief is like a fish being strangled struggling to fight.

But it is useless as the rate of destruction that Azief exhibited is truly shocking.

All over the world dark black snows keep piling down, the birds fly away as the sky keep darkening, the winter wind blows from all directions, the cutting wind split hills and settlements

Azief could sense all this. But it did not make him hesitate at all.

He smiles and then he crushes the thin string with his hand as motes of energy seems to spread out all over the world.

A force spread out all over the world.

It is an invisible force but everyone could feel it. Anyone without missing even one could feel something is changing in the world.

It is a type of premonition and also some kind of instinct

Erika who was halfway across the world is on a small boat. Her head is lying on the chest of Antonius.

She felt cold suddenly like winter wind passes her by and something wet falls down on to her

When the force spread out throughout the world she opens her eyes slowly. Then she looks at the sky and her hand seems to be touching something.

She hears the Song of the Sea, the Song of the Wind, the Song of everything under the Heaven and that lives on top of Earth, their melody melancholic and full of bitterness.

She felt a Will disperses and a new Will was formed.

She shakes her head and smile bitterly.

She looks back at the sky above her and she closes her eyes before opening it back accepting what has happened

It was that droplet of water falling down from the clouds that caused her to be awake.

She saw a droplet about to fall onto Antonius forehead. She waves her hand and that droplet went away.

She did not say anything to wake Antonius. She caresses his cheek and kiss him gently.

Then she only looks at the empty space in front of her and the only thing could see is the vast blue sea and many gigantic sea monster silhouette below it.

She looks at the Sky, felt the Will and then she looks at Antonius and something is building up inside her heart and her eyes felt wet.

She touched her eyes and she almost wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. She hears the Song of everything under the Sky, but she also has her Song that she wanted to sing to the sky

She thought about all of the things that has happened and she doesn't know what to feel.

The years keep going and the time will come. But until that time come she will only see good things and see beautiful things.

She will appreciate the beauty that this new world has to offer

She decided so, so she will do it. She wanted it to be so, so she will fight for it. All the heroes of the world seem to be fight for something.

By fighting for something they see their Grand Path and those that is brave and bold will surely walk that path until the end.

Everyone seems to be fighting for something. She has no grand aspiration to become like those shining heroes that define an era.

She only wants to fight for the things that is precious to her. She takes a deep breath and try to calm herself down.

'It is not time' she said. It was probably to herself, or it might even be to Destiny and Fate.

It is not time she seems to be saying. It almost sounded like a prayer. It is also the same words Loki always said.

Yewa Hafar set up chess pieces and Loki is moving it and they both think that they are the only player in this universal chess game that spans Universes and realities.

Erika dare not say she is a chess player.

But she knows the chess moves ahead of others.

And probably knows more than she lets on. So she sighed as above her head clouds of rains gathered together and rains falls down.

'This rain…when will it stop?' she said and like the clouds is responding it falls down heavily.

She did not know whether to smile or cry at this moment.

Antonius opens his eyes and saw Erika. He groggily was woken from his sleep, but even as the rain keep pouring down, not a drop of rain is around him.

Erika let the rain falls down on her but she did not let it drop on Antonius.

He saw Erika looking at the vast sea, sitting beside him and smiles like an idiot and hug her, as the rain finally drop down on him, his body seems to not care about the rain or about being wet if he could hug Erika.

Erika smiles with a joy she tries to hide. To Antonius the rain is nothing to worry about.

The rain however signifies something quite different for Erika. She could feel that the might of heaven was surpassed and felt that person Will supersede it.

And she knows what this means for her.

'It has begun' she said to herself. The time she has is limited.

Erika being hugged smiles bitterly after remembering about that matter but because Antonius hugged her from behind he could not see Erika face.

She likes the rain. She hates the sea but she likes the rain. Because when it is raining she could hide her tears.

Like any other person in the world she doesn't want to get wet with rain and tremble with a cold.

She could only hope that someday the cold rain could become warm tears. She let herself be hugged as she let the rain disguise her sad tears.

No banquet last forever.

She is crying because goodbye is near. And the rain is not yet stopping. Erika even hope in her heart that it never stops.

She sighed before her eyes close and she fall to Antonius embrace.

They hugged together in that small boat, two people with each of them have different thoughts.

One wanted to live together until he dies, the other wanted to create as much as happy memories before her time comes.

The energy dispersal keeps going.

All over the world people felt that there is a slight change in the energy of the world.

On the other hand, on the edge of Earth and space, the moment Azief crush the thin string it tries to put some resistance.

It erupted with power but the result is as plain as day.

Azief body right now is like some kind of powerful ancient artifact, the aura coming out of him is like he is some kind of supreme primordial existence.

How could the thin string which could be considered the weakest part of the Will of the World could possibly contend against Azief prowess?

From the very first moment Azief grasp the thin string, web like crack patterns has already surfaced back then.

It is a thin string but also at the same time it is just some kind of manifestation of the Wil of the World.

Coming out from Azief hand is a pure aura of Destruction that seems to flow across heaven and Earth and below it.

The Nether Disk is slowly being formed inside Azief Inner World. With that crushing something seems to broke in the world.

The motes of light that exploded out when Azief crush the thin string melded with the world almost immediately, probably it is recuperating again.

A complicated smile formed on Azief face.

'I have finally confirmed it' He sighed and then he said....
