Chapter 900: The battle for the divine throne (1)

The battle for the Divine Throne began during the time of the selection of the Third Sovereign. It is during the clash between the two potential candidate of Sovereign which is the battle between Katarina and Jean.

Raymond had reign for one hundred years at that time and he was ready to crowned a new Sovereign as the energy of the world was ripe for another strand of omnipotence.

The All Source is an unlimited power source.

But unlimited does not mean that it is always full. Unlimited energy producing artifact but even this artifact had a rate of which it produces his energy.

If one took all of it, then one would have to wait until the energy of the world returned back to the amount of energy needed to break through the Half Sovereign realm to the Sovereign realm

Each time a Sovereign is crowned, a great amount of energy is absorbed. And the process of replenishing back that energy that was absorbed roughly take one hundred years

Actually, this is already a great improvement., In any of other alien civilization, if one such being like a Sovereign is born, it would take at least ten thousand years for the energy of that world to be replenished.

Of course, with the absorption of so much energy, there would also be side effect to the world.

And in that one hundred years of period, people would find it hard to break through to the next realm

And some even would have their realm demoted because of the absorption power that is required to elevate a person toward Sovereign level. This is why the battle for the Divine throne was created by Azief.

Any Half Sovereign leveler could fight against each other in the Heavenly Dimension that Azief had created.

The winner would be crowned by the Sovereign and could sit on the Divine Throne to absorbs the world energy to become a Sovereign

Right now, the sight of many Disk Formation leveler is a common thing. And each of the great powers has a Disk Formation level working under them

They were not rare anymore and there were numerous of such levelers in the world.

But when the era of Sovereign happens, the sight of Disk Formation Leveler all around the world will not be as numerous as it is today.

At that time, those who are Disk Formation leveler is mostly those who came from the same era as the Sovereigns and most of them would fight for the energy of the world that is left.

By taking the energy of the world, by taking this essence of omnipotent energy, one had to pay the Karma.

Thus, each Sovereign must protect the Milky Way galaxy. Because they owe Karma to all living being in the world.

Azief who was the first Sovereign of course did not want to forever be bounded by the Will of the World and the Heavenly Laws.

This is a secret that Loki found out later.

Azief was the one that created the Divine Throne.

He separated the Will of the World from him and forge the Divine Throne.

And when Raymond had the opportunity to breakthrough to Sovereign level, Azief did not only not stop him, instead, Azief protected Raymond from any interference from the outside.

Then he crowned Raymond and Azief created the Underworld, his own independent realm possessing the power of life and death, governing the aspect of creation and destruction.

This is his Aspect, his Domain which he had control over. As he was the First Sovereign, his control of the Laws of the World is very strong.

Even when he did not seat himself on the Divine throne, he still has the ability to use the Will of the World.

As such, when Sovereign fight each other, they would fight in other dimension or other stay system because each Sovereign that once sit on the Divine Throne could manipulate the Laws of the World of Earth Prime.

Azief was the First. Raymond was the second. Third was Katarina. The third is when the true battle for the Divine Throne began

First, it was because the Will of the World was complete. Second, at that time, there is many people who had reached the Half Sovereign level.

In the beginning, no one had been able to follow Azief footsteps in increasing his level of attainment in power and as such when he first become a Sovereign he had no peer.

There was no rival to him. In Loki timeline, Raymond was Azief closest rival. After he was captured by the Island of Peace, Raymond overtook Azief attainment of power and for a while, he was the most powerful person in the world.

But Raymond was unlike Azief in that he is bound by the rules of the World Government. After Azief breaks out from the World Government prison, he went underground.

He became the concierge of crime and he uses his position in the criminal underworld to protect himself against the people of the World Government and his other enemies

Azief in Loki timeline did not have many friends and have many enemies. But one could say that all of those tribulations shaped him.

It enables him to use that pressure levied on him to go over his limits. But also because of it, he had missed many opportunities.

Azief could never pursue perfection path in that other timeline because he had to forcefully breakthrough to the higher realm ahead of time because of the threats on his life.

He did not have the right situation like it is in this timeline, where he could pursue Perfection Path without anything obstructing him

Perfection Path is not an easy path to walk through.

Perfection Path must be done in sequence.

And each stage must be Perfect.

The longer one persevere in the Perfection Path, the longer one accumulate experiences, the stronger and the higher the probability of able to break through the next level with Perfection.

One misstep, one flaw would render the path broken.

And that is what happen to Azief in Loki timeline. He had to break the Perfection path and breakthrough to Disk Formation level without Perfecting his Seed Formation because of the circumstances surrounding his life.

At one point he had to breakthrough or die against the assassins that the enemy factions had sent against him

It was not so different when Azief was fighting against the many assassins during his Extermination Thunder Tribulation

The Path of Perfection is broken.

And there were many other opportunities that he missed because of his circumstances.

This is why luck and fortune is also a very important for a person who walk the Perfection Path

One of that opportunity is the trials of Azul. Azief in that timeline was colder, darker. He chose the wrong choice and he did not get the legacy and appreciation of Azul

On the other hand, in this timeline, Loki was very hardworking from behind the scene to make sure that many of the obstacles that Azief would face would be easier

But in the end, one personality dictates one fate. Azief in this timeline is not hunted by many people. There is nobody in this world in their right mind would try to hunt a predator like Azief

He is the strongest person in the world, and he has loyal friends that would help him, a sworn brother that would not hesitate to die for him and he is deified and revered in many parts of the world because of his deeds and his prowess.

Everything had changed. Because Azief change. He is less darker, and he is more empathetic than he was before. He understands certain thing that he did not understand before.

And all of this, it makes a difference. A great hero of the world, the strongest person in the world, lacking nothing

But then, how did Azief in that timeline, even after being oppressed by many powers, hunted by the World Government and other faction of the world manage to surpass Raymond who were backed by the most powerful organization on Earth at that time and still manage to become the First Sovereign?

This all have to do with the Ten Eternal Rings. That ring is very mystical and powerful and its abilities is something that defies the heavenly laws.

Of course, there is a price for everything. And that ring has a very interesting history.

In this timeline, fortunately, Azief did not rely too much on that ring. Loki fear the connection that Azief would form with that Ring.

The more he relies on it, the stronger the connection between the owner and the ring.

It is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, the stronger the connection between the owner and the artifact, the more powerful the power of the ring becomes.

But, in the case of Azief, it is very bad to be strongly connected with that Ring. Because it is part of the machinations of fate and destiny.

Loki knows the true owner of that Ring.
