Chapter 1696: The Thing Keeping It All Together



He is like a God

Sitting on his throne, on the highest seat in Pandemonim, like a guardian deity that would not move unless you begin prodding him.

Commitment to justice? No, justice is what he decides. Is it fair? No. But he did not force

anyone to come to Pandemonium. He did not instruct people to build cities, ports, villages, houses in these lands.

They chose to live under him. And since they chose it, they must pay the price.

Because there is nothing in this world that does not have its price.

In the city, there is also guards. Most of them are in Seed Forming realm.

They usually are armed with weapons that could restrain Disk Formation leveler.

Anyone of higher realm than that, you better just run or quickly inform someone else who have more authority to handle the matter.

Patrolling the streets is easier before the expansion of the world.

Now, after the expansion certain energy would tamper with the AI assisted drones that used to patrol the cities.

Even the Order of Thinker did not know how to solve these matters that affect the energy core in the AI assisted drones

Hence, the city had to hire actual guards. Though, they are supplied with enchanted armor, other magical artefacts, whether it be swords, spears, or custom guns.

Because of the special nature of Pandemonium, the population of Pandemonium is very diverse. There is Asian, Caucasian, Africans, Arabs, and many more.

And when they come to this land, they add their unique talents to the land.

The streets of Pandemonium is always alive.

There is all kinds of language being spoken, there is all kinds of music and there is always something to explore.

There is also all kinds of food and all kinds of brews of coffee. It is said that Death Monarch likes coffee.

And because of that coffee business is booming in Pandemonium. Some even tell tall stories of how Death Monarch come in the guise of an old wanderer and drink coffee in their establishment, hoping for them to become rich.

The story become more and more embellished and it seems more like a folktales

Like story of old Gods honouring hospitality.

Pandemonium is like this because of Death Monarch. It prospers. It is peaceful. When He sits there on His throne, it felt like nothing could destroy Pandemonium.

Pandemonium is a utopian haven, where the boundaries between the mundane and the mystical blur, leaving all who enter captivated by the enchanting allure of this magical metropolis.

Because of Death Monarch.

So, when Death Monarch is rumoured to not be on Earth, there is this kind of unease. The world powers are eyeing them. The contenders for the world powers is also eyeing Pandemonium.

They might not do anything. But if Death Monarch absence continues, there is a chance that an accident might happen.

And if that accident involves the new four pillars of the world, then how should Pandemonium reassert itself without Death Monarch?

Will the peace be broken? Is it time for a new war?

The people are tired and the world needs a break

In a private room, there is a woman standing near a window.

She look outside the window.

"You could not convince us. Nor could you convince the people behind us. Sina faction is

already looking at you weird"

"Before you could make them listen to you because everyone knows that Death Monarch left you in charge on some things. Everyone at that time knows that Death Monarch is in seclusion. That did not mean that they trust you. Or trust your judgement. They trusted the person who gave you that power.....and now, he is not here"

"So, they are no longer convinced"

Sasha sighed.

The governance of Pandemonium has always been weird. This is probably because Death Monarch tendency not to meddle that much.

Yet, when he is angered, the Shadow Guards will act like a sword and eradicate this nuisance

for him.

With force that akin to God, one could understand why people follows Death Monarch almost

religiously.

You could not hide from him.

And if you manage to hide from him, that means he is simply letting you hide it from him

Hence, there is this weird phenomenon.

As long as Death Monarch is there, the governance of Pandemonium is smooth like flowing

water. Natural, smooth and clean.

The force and awe of Death Monarch alone is enough to deter wrongdoers.

But once he is not there, then all kinds of problems began popping up. Not only in

Pandemonium, also in the world.

The past serves as an example. When Death Monarch is not there, the Crime Alliance popped

up with great momentum and quickly expands.

Why? Because when Death Monarch is there, they did not dare to show their face.

They hide their heads and they hide their trace. Instead, they consolidate their power, waiting

for the moment to come out.

And once they come out, all of that pent up energy, all of those preparations allow them to quickly rivals even that of the world powers.

And now, they are beaten once again and probably if there is a ranking leader board somewhere, Crime Alliance which rose to the top five force in the world probably is now out of

the top ten powers.

That is the power of Death Monarch. He did not need to care so much about the world affairs because if he wanted to he could easily change the world affairs.

Even old enemies had chosen to side with Pandemonium and the Three Great Powers, Pandemonium, the Republic and the World Government now share interest

But the difference between the three great powers is that Pandemonium would not hesitate to

cut off the connection if Death Monarch decided to do so.

It is not so easy for the Republic and the World Government to cut off Pandemonium
