Chapter 639: The sword that descend from the heavens

At the same time that sword is descending in Socotra, everyone in the world felt it. They felt the sensation of power pressuring them from above the clouds.

Like the Heaven itself is about to crash down on them and flattened them under its wrath

All over the world, all kinds of people who had high attainment in their level felt like they are stuck between Heaven and Earth.

The Earth felt like it is about to buckle under such pressure as the Heaven kept on descending with that tremendous pressure.

They felt it and they sense it in their souls. Their bodies itself did not feel such pressure. But their soul felt like something powerful is coming down.

So, they look at the sky. They look at the Heavens above them and they narrowed their eyes.

Some see the sun shining bright and some see the visage of the moon, clear in the night sky.

But one thing is common for them no matter whether they are in the part of the world where the sun was shining brightly, or being bathed in moonlight of the night.

They see the sun clearly and they see the moon clearly. Because there are no clouds

There are no clouds all over the skies of the Earth. It was like the sky is now a blank white canvass of painting.

And then variety of colors exploded in the sky like someone spilled a bottle of ink into those blank white canvass

The clouds all parted and they could see the void that is unraveling up in the sky. These are new colors.

And these are new sight for some of them

They felt Time and Space contorted, compressed and distorted. They felt the pull of Time and its push.

They felt Space move. It is a subtle feeling and there are no words to describe this weird feeling they felt.

They see stars.

But not the stars of Milky Way galaxy. They see planets. But not the planets of the Milky Way galaxy.

They see different stars and different planets and while their eyes could not perceive what kind of existence in the sky that emanate such powerful emanation of power that it pressures the entire world, one name comes to mind.

A name that have been forgotten for six years.

Today, that name that was seared into the minds of everyone that watched the stairway to Heaven six years ago once again appeared in the mind of the people all over the world

As the thunder rolls in and storms come down from the Heaven, that name resounded even loudly in their ears

Death Monarch Azief, the strongest man in the world!

Disk Formation expert that lives in seclusion inside some abandoned caves or some remote forest paradise that they created for themselves, in some untrekkable mountain, they too look at the sky and their eyes shining with yearning and envy.

They all could sense it.

Anyone who is at the end of Disk Formation could feel it. This is not a pressure that a Disk Formation emanates.

This is not some kind of energy that could be cultivated by Forming Disk of energy inside one own body. This is Laws.

This is Divine Comprehension level and this realm is the highest realm of Divine Comprehension.

These reclusive experts that hides themselves from the world, they all sighed. They look at the sky for a brief moment, sighed, and then a new determination arose in their hearts.

They do not want to compete, nor do they want to go inside the murky waters of the world filled with the Seven Great Powers, the forces of evil of the Crime Alliance and the many others factions and forces of mortals lying in the dark or strutting proudly beneath the sun.

Evil. Good. This is the matter they do not want to concern themselves about.

All they wanted was to seek the end of this power that they now have, to be like Immortals in the stories or Gods that walked among mortals that is unaffected by the worldly affairs.

They did not want to compare with each other. They like cultivating these power simply because they like the act of cultivating itself.

The power that they gained is a positive side effect and not the reason why they cultivate the energies of the world.

They did not do it to gain fame.

They did not do it to gain fortune or influence or to lord it over other people.

In the world nobody is the same. And as such some weirdos like this also existed. Some people like reading.

They read all kinds of books and understand many things.

When asked 'Why did you read all this books? Did you want to learn it so you could take exams and become successful?'

Or they would ask "Did you read it because you wanted to know about the world?" These weirdoes would answer "I read it because I like reading"

The knowledge they got was the side effect and not the reason they picked up the book.

The picked up the book because they like the act of reading itself and not because they like the story or interested in the knowledge contained inside it.

In the history of the world, there is always weirdoes like this and they would continue to exist, because in a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike.

And no two journeys along the same path are alike

All they wanted is to remain safe to pursue their interest. They wanted safety but they also wanted the power to save themselves.

All kind of recluse are the same in a way and that similarities is that each of them have a unique reason for remaining to be reclusive.

Today, when they look at the sky, when they see the cloudless sky and see the world that was presented to them when the void tears apart the sky and see another Heavens and stars, they knew that the strongest person in the world, Death Monarch, after six years is still the strongest person in the world.

That wall is still tall. And that mountain still could not be budged.

So, they close their eyes, enter their place and they once again absorbed the energy of the world, wanting to breakthrough, wanting to understand.

Some of them are filled with determination to try to break through to Divine Comprehension.

They refuse to believe that they could not surpass someone like Death Monarch who was plagued by all kinds of worldly matters that should have slowed him down.

But each time, Death Monarch still remains in front of them. And all they could see was his shadow stretching out so large and long behind him that it covers all creation behind him.

It was like the sun only shines upon him and they are all hidden behind his shadow.

Like they were in a running competition and even though no matter how much they train their feet, that one person had always been in front of them, no matter how many obstacles were put in front of him.

To some it was like Death Monarch is a wall that grows taller each day. It is an existence that is suffocating them

But not all the recluse all felt the same way.

There is a poet in the World government that always like to quote Shakespeare and he once said that all reclusive expert is all the same.

They all secluded themselves from the world, ignoring the wealth and influence that they could get if they reveal themselves, instead preferring to increase their strength by living in mountains, hidden island, deep forest and under the sea.

But today, feeling that emanations of power, not all recluse walk back inside to their place. They look at the sky and then they flew toward it.

They too wanted their time shining brightly with the sunlight shining upon them. If you are in some else's shadow, then come out of that shadow!

If Death Monarch even with all of his troubles and difficulties that he had to face as he muddles around in the murky water of the world could reach that level, that means only one thing.

His method was right and their method was wrong!

They believe if they assiduously focused on understanding the power in complete seclusion they would rise above all others.

They would understand more and see more than other people.

But Death Monarch from the first time he appeared in the world stage, he had to fend off schemes and plots, assassination attempts and had to involve himself in many meaningless struggle for power.

He had to tangle with the matters of the heart, of love and brotherhood, had to endure heartbreak and anger, had to feel all of these human emotions.

These reclusive experts want to become God. They cut off their relationship and connection, believing that their method would bring them closer to reach godhood.

Many reclusive experts believe Death Monarch method was wrong and their method was right.

But if their method is right and Death Monarch method is wrong then why is Death Monarch is the one people all over the world revered and acknowledged by all heroes under the sky as the strongest person in the world?

Why is it that he is the one that understand the Laws and not them?

Today, as the cloud parted away and the sky was opened up, some of these reclusive expert mind was also opened up.

The Heavens opened up and it embraces all kinds of myriad existence

Today, their eyes were opened wide and they no longer wanted to close it.

They were asleep for a long time but now they are awake. And since they are no awake, they should do something.

Repeating the same thing while hoping for a different result is madness.

Today, they open their eyes, look up at the sky and like a chicken that transform into a hawk, they fly toward the sky.

The matters of the world and the matters of the people, the worldly emotions and the worldly matters, all of these relationship and all of these emotions, probably feeling all of this, and persevering through it all, facing it head on, that is what made Death Monarch different than them and why he understands more and why he sees more

Death Monarch is not Perfect.

But because he is not perfect, he could attain perfection.

A perfect being from the starts have no chance to improve and learn. They are already perfect from the very beginning. They are at an end.

As such, Perfection means Ending.

Today these recluse that flew up coming out from their reclusive spot, they understand one thing.

Hiding from the world and ignoring the world does not make one strong. Facing it, enduring it, persevering through it, that builds character and forge your soul.

Today, not all recluse felt the same. Some remains a chicken looking at the sky while some had become a hawk that fly freely over the clouds

Disk Formation is already considered to have powers of Gods and Immortals.

Their importance to the world was so much that there is an appendix about their protection inside the Article of Distribution

They were an indispensable part of the force of humanity if another invasion from the stars ever happened once again

Six years has passed and no one has broken through Divine Comprehension.

There were some rumors that Raymond, Hikigaya and Oreki had broken through Divine Comprehension. But rumors are rumors. And not the truth.

If it's the truth, since it is not being revealed, then it is still just rumors.

But today, the truth had revealed itself.

If peak power of the world right now is Disk Formation leveler, then the appearance of a Divine Comprehension is akin to an appearance of Gods among mortals

These reclusive experts fly through the sky leaving their reclusive abode and their paradises.

These reclusive experts will now taint themselves with worldly matter and worldly feelings but there is no longer any disdain or disgust in their hearts.

They look at the sky and then they look below them and see the world.

They see the people and they know, that the moment they come out and reveal their powers they could not remain outside the struggle of the world.

They could not help but make connection and form bonds the moment they stepped outside their seclusion.

They know they could not help but feel emotions and sometimes even being controlled by it.

This used to be something that they disdain and fear.

But these chickens that have been transformed into a hawk did not feel regret. They smile happily and their heart is now large that it could now contain all of those feelings

These reclusive expert that was hidden all over the world is not the only one that was shocked silly by the emanation of power that envelop the world

The world was also shocked but more so for the other Six Great Powers.
