If any of his enemies become that powerful existence and decided to suppress everyone then he would become the first target.
Since he had long entrenched himself into the spotlight, he had no other choice.
Those below him could choose another person to serve, but he had only one way…to become stronger or die, becoming just another stepping stone for another to establish his name
Azief had always think about this. When he reads fantasy novels that spoke of cultivation world or a world full magical abilities he wonders this one thing.
Why would a powerful cultivator would not kill the enemy of his family when he is strong but waited until the main protagonist to become strong and then killed them?
Why wait and become complacent and arrogant? And why would the strongest of them always waited until the enemies become strong enough and then show themselves?
The world was never like that. It is unfair and it is ruled by the strong. It has always been this way from the beginning of life in Earth and it will be so until the end of the world
Those who think differently has never seen true power and has never been exposed to the real truth of the world.
Since such person was never helpless he did not know and care about it. But when he is struck by real power, then he would know.
That all civility, all kinds of things that they thought could prevent others from harming them is nothing in front of true power.
One could pen an essay of ten million words long and still not be able to fight against a simple slice of a sword
In the real world, such thing would never happen. If the real world has such cultivation power, the strong would always oppress the weak and no shred of enemies would be released.
If one is level four and one is level two and fail to kill level two because of some matter, they would not be so stupid to leave that level two person to roam around the world and become stronger.
Now that he is level four he needs to kills the level two person before he could grow even stronger and kill him.
Those who did not even understand this simple logic would sooner or later be dead.
The only other reason to let them live is either they are useful to you or you know that they would never surpassed you.
The battle of level four and level two is negligible but what about people with level approaching the 90 plus mark?
The same would apply and was even more important.
Their powers and levels would have reached astounding levels and such enemies if you are no confident in fighting them in the future and it is not contrary to one own grand path, it is better to kill such a person than letting them live and having an opportunity to kill you
The past history of Earth had proven itself. Do not let your enemy to have a chance to strike you
If you have lifted the sword, then don't hesitate to swing it down
Now, on Earth, there are people who could move mountain, parted the seas, bring on thunders and could hear through the whispers of the wind.
How could anyone hide from such power?
If the first person that break the wall of the system is anyone else other than him, what is to say that the person who break that wall would not harm him or his beloved people?
Who could guarantee that to him?
He had learned might makes right.
Even before the fall, it might seem the world was civilized and people settle thing with words and diplomacy but that is the most erroneous opinion
Those who sits in the UN before the Fall, the five power that could veto other people decisions and determination, aren't they the most powerful governments in the world?
The most corrupt and the most debased government could sit in that table and argue about humanity and all those high sounding ideas but the truth was, if they did not possess powers and influence that they had, they will not be allowed to sit in that table.
Whether that be nuclear power, or economic powers, it is the same. It is something people fear, something people needed and that is power.
Azief saw it clear when he met Azul. If he reached the level that Azul had reached, who would he be afraid of in this Vast Universe?
But this is all predicated in the assumption that he would be the frits one to break that wall. He must be the one that be the first.
Only then he could be at ease. He did not see himself as a kind person. But he also knows he is not that cruel of a person.
And while he could confirm his heart, he could not confirm others.
Even if it is his subordinate that broke that wall first he could not trust them to treat him like their leader if they were the one that reached first to break that wall.
He even would have sabotaged them
That is because the surrounding would become different and as such the heart would also change
He could only be at ease if it was him. That is why he keep running forward. And now, he had reached the point where if he returned to Earth, no one could be his match
Then his mind wanders to a certain name: Void. That is another problem
He sighed as he shakes that thought off his mind.
Azief then closed his eyes back and took a deep breath.
His body is now filled up with energy and instead of feeling that he would explode with so much energy, it was like his body right now is a bottomless abyss that want to have more energies
He took the next step and the moment he took that next step, to Azief shocks, the Stairway that have stood the test of time, surviving epochs after epochs, eon after eon, crumbles into dust
Azief did not realize or even recognize it but as that step crumbles, a thread latch itself onto his body.
This thread seems to come from nothingness but there is a trace of time around the Thread. And not only that.
It also possesses a certain archaic aura around it, like it comes from such a distant past that it could not be determined at what epochs it come from
This is Principle of Karma but it is not just a simple Principle of Karma. It is an ancient form of it, pure and ancient
If this was any normal user of Karma, he would have realized it. But the thread is very thin and not only was it thin, it is masked by the energies coming out from the Law Bodies.
When one said thin, it did not mean the thread itself. It means the thinness of such energy that no one could see it.
This is a plan that have been concocted in the beginning of Time, during the First Rebellion of Etherna.
Azief was shocked at the crumbling of the step and he did not understand why such a powerful and magical steps would crumble after he passes it and took his law Body
he did not understand. Was that supposed to happens or was that not what supposed to happen? But the Law Body that is now merging with him have nothing wrong with it
He doesn't know why but it doesn't seem to harm him in any way so he moves forward to his second law body.
And maybe this is the ritual. Each time a Supreme Being reached the Supremacy Stairway and claim their Law Bodies, the steps would break off and then reformed back.
Azief did not know that this is not supposed to happen. But some Beings in the Omniverse knows.
All over the Omniverse, the moment Azief step up on that Stairway, to claim his Thirteen Law Bodies, a lot of Supreme Being was watching this event with full concertation
They stirred and some open their eyes and gazed upon that Stairway
Azul just close his eyes as he will not interfere this time. He also has his own Divination powers but because the Omniverse belong to that Supreme One, his divination was obstructed but he did not pay it any mind.
Wargod who is now hiding in some other dimension also look toward that direction, his eyes pierces through layers of dimension and galaxies to see the events that is about to unfold.
He also has a thread that connected him to the Omniverse.
Instead of saying it connected it to Omniverse, it connected him to the most mysterious and divine concepts in existence, Fate and Destiny.
'Tying Karma' he said and he laughed.
Interium then once again shrouded itself in darkness.
