Chapter 1667: Changes in the Clouds
When he is wounded in Divine Comprehension, his energy leaks and when an injury goes deep, it touches the soul
Now, he has a form.
A body. It limited him.
But it also protects him in a way. It gave him the first barrier
The pain would not directly reach the soul.
There is the body first.
You had to break down the physique that he has first before you could attack the soul.
This is the difference between the body of an Energy Disperse Stage realm and the body that Azief had crafted again.
In the body of the Energy Disperse stage realm, you possess great physical prowess but vulnerable to soul attack.
Even Azief when he has the perfect physique in Energy Disperse Stage and could fight a whole realm above him, he is still vulnerable to soul attack.
Even if his body would not rot or destroyed by normal means, if someone is adept at manipulating the soul, he could not defend himself
It took the weakness of the Divine Comprehension realm and perfected it.
The body itself has laws and concepts of the world.
So, if one wanted to attack the soul, you have to break the gate toward the soul first and that gate is none other than the body.
So, even though Azief is in pain, he did not think it is bad.
He believe that if h did not create such a body, these thunders that attack him would attack his soul.
And that kind of death is not something he wanted to experience.
A thunder domain around him continues to assault him. But Azief is accepting all of this. Every pain, every attack, he savours it, his energy rising by the moment.
Azief then sit cross legged in space
The injuries around his body become worse,. There is more scratches, there is more wounds, there is more and more bruises.
Ignoring all that, Azief sits cross legged in the dark space, closing his eyes and he sat there like he is meditating in his own room
Not passing a tribulation but experiencing a baptism of thunder. That is what it would look like to the eyes of the observer.
And that is what Jean, Hikigaya and Raymond thought
They would not be that relaxed if it were them that is in Death Monarch position
The more thunder, the more punishment, the stronger Azief seems to become. Damn the wounds, damn the injuries.
None of it seems to delay him, stops him or make him weak.
Taking it in stride, he accepted the pain.
"he becomes stronger again" Hikigaya thought.
Jean said wistfully "Will he found a new method? Will he be able to help Paulette?" this is his thought
And when Raymond look at this, he could not help but sighed and said
"It is still his era"
The thunder of tribulation is unceasing, not stopping but nothing seems to be able to bring down this mortal.
The clouds of tribulation is also aware of this.
More and more clouds forms.
And merge.
Gathering around, merging with each other, the clouds become denser.
The face that is looking at Azief also sems to be frowning even more, emanating more and more destructive aura.
There is this dark black aura that began to ooze out from that face.
The breath from the nose and mouth of this face began producing mist of black.
This mist of black then mixed with the clouds of tribulations.
Focusing only on one person.
Not the world.
Not the planets.
Not this galaxy. Only one person.
As long as they could annihilate this one person, everything is worth it
The clouds is very small. Compared to before where it covers the entire earth skies, this patch
of clouds is very small. It just one patch of clouds hovering above Death Monarch head.
But Hikigaya, Jean, and Raymond look at that cloud like they are facing their biggest
enemies.
The clouds now looks ordinary, but the destructive power is so condensed that it if is allowed
to touch down any one of the planets, it would destroy it and that destructive aura would
create a rippling action all across this galaxy.
This is only their estimation but they did not think that their estimation is wrong.
"I could feel the end of life and boundless death emanating from that cloud" Hikigaya
mutters to himself.
Just by looking at that cloud, he felt the same thing when he look death in the eyes. This is the
end of life and this is where boundless death originates, this is where living things turns to nothing, where souls come to be destroyed.
Limitless vital force of destruction is now hovering around the planet Mars. It did not spread
outward.
Jean waves his hand and he frowns.
"the death energy is leaving Earth" Hikigaya look toward the Moon and shakes his head
"It is also leaving the Moon"
All around them, they could feel that death energy ids decreasing and in just a few second all
of those deathly energy, that menacing intent, that destructive aura all disappears from
Earth. From the other planets.
From Jupiter, Saturn, Venus. Hikigaya could sense it. And then he frows. As he could feel that
the clouds above Death Monarch head shrinks even more.
Even though he could not feel it, Hikigaya is quite sure that all of those deathly energy is now
converging on that small patch of cloud
"A great tribulation never seen before" Hikigaya could only sight at this, jean closes his eyes
and Raymond look solemnly toward the distance
All three of them agree at the same time, even without saying anything, that this is
dangerous.
"he should move away. The planet nearby would not be able to withstand it. If it happens.....then this galaxy would need a major reconstruction after this" Raymond could not help but already see the outcome even before the thunder appears.
Jean simply said
"Earth would not be destroyed. As long as the three of us stands here" Hikigaya did not say
anything but from the clouds that began to appears around him, it is clear that he is ready to
tackle whatever comes their way.
BOOOM!
The thunder roars again and the entire galaxy seems to shake
