Chapter 788: Up there in the moon

Azief now appears on a large turbulent ocean, floating up there just out of the reach of the splashing water.

Time around him seems to be slow down and as such each of the movement of the water could easily be seen from where it would go and what it would become if one could see the root causes.

The great battle all over the world affect the Heaven and Earth.

The seas were also affected.

It did not escape Azief sense that there are also all kinds of new undersea creatures infiltrating the world.

But Azief did not have any intention of fighting these beasts yet.

He knows he should prioritize the enemy on the sky and on the surface before he attacks those creatures sunder the sea and those that burrow into the deep ground.

This ocean separated what used to be Japan and what used to be the other Asian countries. Now those countries no longer existed and ruled by the Seven Great powers.

Azief did not immediately went to the Lotus Palace and try to help Lotus Order.

That is because, he knows even though he appears like an invincible powerhouse, even he could never stop all the invasion forces in the world by his lonesome.

The problem lies in how scattered they are.

If they were gathered in one palace Azief did not doubt that if he uses all of his Thirteen Law Body, he could destroy all these forces cleanly.

The problem was that these forces are scattered.

It is still easy if they are gathered in one continent like the African Continent and the South American Continent where they swarmed the continent.

It is harder to kill those who hides themselves in some new continents or new islands that popped out.

there are also a few places in the world that seems to be protected from the vision of the Heavens. This is the anomaly of the world like the Bubble Land under the sea.

Give him enough time, he would be able to do that but he too has his own difficulties.

He could win against them and force them back but if he does it alone it would take a long time. Even now he is not doing it alone.

Will and his teacher is also trying to repair the damages. Using his power to close the rip already drained him and he could not keep doing it unless he did not fear death.

Azief did not fears any Demonic Duke.

He fears that there is a Demon King or Demon Queen that did not show themselves and waiting for the opportune moment to reveal themselves.

That is what restrict Azief from using all his Thirteen Law Bodies at the same time and sweep away all resistance.

Unless all of the space rip is closed and the barrier between world is stabilized, Azief did not dare to leave himself vulnerable by using all of his power

If in his weakest moment he would be taken advantage of and died, then Earth probably would also be doomed

This world will become one of the many worlds that fall under the Seresian control and Azief would not let that happen.

He expected something would happen when he opens the portals but one thing he did not expect was that there is a threat that could destroy Earth itself.

He might appear carefree but right now, there is no one more anxious then him. If he could get the information that there is no Demon King or Demon Queen, then he could let loose.

Fighting alone…. also have its cons.

As such he did not immediately go to the Lotus Palace and help the Asian continent.

Instead, there is a new plan brewing in his mind. He looks at the moon and his expression is very complicated.

Azief saw something before when he sweeps the world and when he looks above the cosmos to see the translucent silhouette or worlds that aligned themselves with the position of Earth separated by a thin layer of dimensional barriers between worlds.

He saw the moon and he saw the sun and when he saw it he instantly knows that there is something very weird about the sun and moon of Earth.

At that time, he felt a sensation of power building up outside of Earth. He looks again up there in the sky piercing through the illusion mist that pervaded the skies and he could see the truth.

He already had seen it before but now he has d a different intention toward what he sees now. he is seeing the moon and his eyes become determined.

He is floating over the raging seas but his eyes and mind is on the moon and he is seeing different sceneries.

His entire being become translucent like he is about to fade.

One with the world, one with the Heaven.

That is the state of Azief fright now. Even though he still holds Heaven Will, the sudden change of the world also affects the power of Heaven Will.

Heaven Will absorbs the energy of the fallen whether they were from the life forms of Earth Prime or those Seresian demons and the otherworldly forces and as such Heaven Will become even stronger and capable of many more things.

Azief right now could not believe the luck that has befallen him. If not for that he could not create such powerful world ending palm strike that could differentiate enemies and allies.

When that palm descended, all the creature that Azief had deemed as his enemies were affected negatively and those who were not enemies were free of any negative effect of destructions.

Other than the destruction of the natural world, the people and life forms were unharmed.

If everyone knows how beneficial controlling the Heaven Will in the past, Azief believes he would have a lot of competitor.

Maybe this is also one of the reason why his future keeps his grip on Heaven Will in the future. Because of the benefit that the Heaven Will gave him.

Right now, he felt that if he wanted to enter Essence Creation, he could enter it without any fear of failure.

'Heh' he snorted as his gaze is still looking at the moon above the sky

His eyes could see someone and the clouds of illusion and barrier of magic were penetrated by the Heaven Will power like it was paper thin.

Up there, in space, Hikigaya the Illusionist Archmage is floating up there on the surface of the moon, fighting against his tribulation to walk further in his path.

Azief wanted to help. Hikigaya is already at the last phase, and he had succeeded the tribulation.

He is forming his Laws.

The moon and sun become his eyes as the world is filled with his aura of distorting the truth, turning the unreal to real, the real to unreal. Everything become ephemeral and illusion in his domain.

There is an eye up in the sky, if one could see past the bright sunny glare.

It disguises itself as the moon and the sun. But if one looks clearly, there is a ball of fire, a sun that emits no heat on the parts of the world where it is day.

And on the parts of the world where it is night, the moon is round and smooth unlike the real moon which is full of craters.

What is the requirements of Hikigaya breaking through Divine Comprehension?

Deceiving the world.

The invaders are pulled into his illusion. Enemies of Earth Prime killed each other while they thought they killed the enemies.

Hikigaya did not even lift a finger, swing a sword or did anything.

As long as he maintains that eye, he is helping the world.

A fake moon and a fake sun.

'Still far enough from being real' Azief thought and he laughed

Azief also felt happy that Hikigaya is breaking through.

Judging from the influx of energy that is coming to Hikigaya. Azief could be certain that Hikigaya would succeed in forming his own Laws.

If Hikigaya also become a Divine Comprehension leveler, Earth would have two powerful powerhouses that could contend with many intergalactic civilizations out there

Hikigaya is trying to make the illusion to fill the whole world but it is too slow.

Azief close his eyes and an apparition of himself appears in the moon. Even though Hikigaya is scattering his essence, an apparition of his illusory self appears.

Like most Disk Formation leveler, Hikigaya could separate his mind and doing many things at once.

Hikigaya look at Death Monarch and like most people who had dealing with Pandemonium and Death Monarch, his expression is very complicated.

Azief only smiles. Then he said to Hikigaya

'There is too much people you wanted to pull in. And the world is very large. The illusion that you are trying to weave is very slow and to make it weave perfectly to the current reality is a taxing process. Real become unreal and unreal become real. A very great application of the Laws'

Azief simply said and his voice seems to be able to travel in space as the sound wave he emitted repels the vacuum state of the Universe and space.

Hikigaya illusory self reply

'In everything, there is me. They would be trapped in eternal illusion and peace would reign.' Azief smiles as he saw the disk that revolves around Hikigaya eyes.

There is nine Disk revolving around Hikigaya pupils.

The ultimate form of a Divine Comprehension levelers. A Divine Comprehension levelers of the Heavenly Realm.

Azief of course exceeded that by four laws, attaining Perfection of Disk Formation.

Even though Azief could nots surmise what kinds of Laws that Hikigaya cultivated, he could guess that it relates to reality and illusions.

Of real and unreal, of the ethereal and of the tangible

Hikigaya then asked

What brings you here? I though you were about to cleanse all of the invading forces.

Azief smiles and said

'I could not let only you reap the benefits. The energy of the world is climbing with each death. You are using the chaos and the blurry liens between worlds to break through. I could see a miniature version of you embedding yourself into the laws of many thing, altering the perceptions and befuddled the senses of thousands of people and that number is rising. Hmm, this is very ungrateful. You want to gain thing without doing nothing.'

Hikigaya expression turn hard

'Are you trying to stop me from breaking through, Death Monarch?' there is a trace of anger in Hikigaya voice.

Azief snorted and said

'Are you worthy? If I wanted to, you would not be speaking to me like this right now'

'Then what it is that you want?'

'I want you to be faster' Hikigaya was shocked with the unexpected answer and then he frowned hard and understanding dawn on him. He looks at Azief and then ask

'You could not do it alone?'Azief smiles and said

'The fate of the world should not be burdened onto the scheduler of one person. Don't you agree? You all hated that I reign supreme over the Heavens. You all covet my seat. But none of you wanted to bear the responsibility.'

Azief said and then Hikigaya frowned.

'It is not that I don't want to. My people is also there. And Earth is also my home. Why would I not help? It is because I wanted to help that I am breaking through right now'

Azief shake his head

'That is still too slow.'

'Then what do you want me to do?'

As they were talking, Hikigaya is still imposing his illusion on many parts of the world. But it is going slowly and not everyone is affected.

Azief apparition then said to Hikigaya illusory self.

'Let me help you' Azief said

'Death Monarch…helping me? Hikigaya laughed like he heard a very funny joke.

'I would owe you then.' Hikigaya said.

Hikigaya had also sense something after he become Disk Formation. He could see that promises, owing someone something by one form or another created a bond that binds.

One could say it is like quantum entanglements that binds the two people fates and destiny, each one affecting the others and unless that bond is cut away or resolve, destiny and fate would be intertwined.

And freedom from fate and destiny would be impossible

Azief simply said

'I would owe you too. I fear that there is a Demon King or a Demon Queen. I could not use all my strength wantonly for fearing that the Seresian is holding onto a trump card of theirs. The world need another Divine Comprehension leveler. And they need it fast. Your foundation is already stable and you already have Nine Disk. Breaking through, you will be a Divine Comprehension of the Heavenly Realm. When you enter Divine Comprehension, then it would be easier for us to cleanse all the world. That would also be an insurance if there is really a demon king or a demon queen hiding in the space rips.'

Hikigaya thinks for a second and then he said

'How would you help me?'

Azief smiles and then he grabs Hikigaya shoulder. The moment he grabbed it Hikigaya eyes seems to reach all over the world, seeing everything.

His is the fastest way Azief could use to quickly help Hikigaya form his grand path of deceiving everything in the world

The rate at which his illusion is expanding is unprecedented and it melded naturally with the laws of the world.

Azief only hold Hikigaya shoulders for a few second but that is enough for him.

The illusory body exploded but Hikigaya life force grows stronger.

Azief could see the nine Laws that Hikigaya cultivated gaining powers, as the dust on the moon rise sup forced by an invisible power, compressing the Laws and forming Hikigaya fleshly body.

This is the application of unreal turning real, real turning unreal

Divine Comprehension is not the same as the other form of evolution of power.

Pillars Forming, Orb Condensing, Energy Disperse Stage, Seed Forming and even Disk Formation have one disadvantage.

That disadvantage lies in the solid form of power.

Solid form of powers like Pillars.

When one pillar is broken, there is a considerable power loss.

The same could be said for the other mode of evolutions like Orb Condensing. Seed Formation and Disk Formation.

When one Disk is broken, one would lose power for a while.

But if the Disk is destroyed completely, then one would fall down from Disk Formation.

Divine Comprehension is different in that the power did not compresses into some form of solid things that could be destroyed. It is the Laws of the Omniverse

To render such an ability useless, one had to cut off the Laws. And the only one that could do that is either stronger than a Divine Comprehension realm or a Divine Comprehension leveler itself.

Azief then did not wait for long because he could see even in his current state about what is happening on Earth.

And it is not something good that is happening over there. He knows that his help, though appears lackluster actually helps Hikigaya tremendously.

Azief just only leave a few orders to him before leaving

'I will wait for you on Earth. I leave Asia to you' Saying this Azief apparition disappears as the moon seems to be envelop by a purplish golden mist.

The moon is turning into an eye and that eye is gazing toward the world below. The moon and the sun gazing at the world, two eyes that is filled with killing intent.
