Chapter 1707: The Gathering
Azief returns to the Centre Palace and all seems to be well with the world. In just a few days, Pandemonium is run smoothly again.
Sasha slinks back to the darkness, doing her job in the shadows. Wang Jian, Athena and Freya is ordered to come into the palace next month to be crowned as King.
Azief took the position as the Supreme Ruler of Pandemonium. He did not coronate himself but he is effectively the Emperor of Pandemonium if he deigns to wear such title
But he did not.
But he does wanted to divide the land and crown kings.
The land of Pandemonium is one of the largest land in the world. The order of Thinkers has a theory that the land which have a lot of energy before the expansion of the world benefited the most.
The Research Department of Pandemonium also discover that you could actually determine where is the old lands and where is the new lands.
The news lands is full of thick energy and some places are even energy constructed which means if one drain the energy from that place, it could even make that place dissipate.
The concept behind it all is very confusing and even the Order of Thinkers did not have a working theory of how the land was displaced and fill in.
The world stretches and it should destroy the world and should not follow some cartoon logic. Yet, the world expand, the sea was filled in, the land is replaced by new lands. It is like it is merging with the lands of other worlds
To many people that is living in the world, they did not care much about how all of this came to be.
All they know is that the world is larger, there is more land, more distance to cover, more monsters and they have to survive in this kind of land.
In a few days, Death Monarch did not do much but the few things he did create a ripple in all of Pandemonium.
Crowning kings, dividing the lands, all of the meritorious officer under Pandemonium all wanted a piece of the land and the authority that comes with it. There is three kings that have already been decided.
Wang Jian would surely be crowned king. It is also a sure lock for Freya and Athena. But who will be the next king.
Death Monarch has a large continent under him
Three kings would not be enough. And one wonder how many kings would be crowned. How many states would be formed? How many would be promoted? How many of them would be transferred?
One announcement shakes up the entire Pandemonium.
The days passes quickly. And not before long, a week had passed. And then Jean from the Republic came. He came riding a Pegasus with a thousand armoured men in the sky, descending on the outer line of the capital city and then ride a carriage to go to the Centre Palace.
Flying over the height of fifteen feet is not allowed in the capital city. There is restriction of magic
However, this restriction only work for people Disk Formation.
Death Monarch and the other formation master of course could create a more powerful restriction but they did not
There is grace and mercy in this decision. In time of emergency, it is allowed to fly. And hence, there is a formation breaking stone in the city hall.
In times of emergency, anyone could break the glass holding the formation breaking stone and crush it to break the restriction. When the restriction is broken, everyone below Disk Formation leveler could also fly away.
This is usually only used when there is great danger befalling the city and needed the citizens and the people to quickly evacuate the city.
The other restriction is teleportation. It is not allowed and the restriction is put in place. Jean, however, having the realm of Divine Comprehension, if he wanted to, he could ignore these restriction.
After all, it is not like Death Monarch himself wrote these restriction. But Jean would not do that
And each one of them represent the power behind them except Oreki and Hikigaya who
represent the same force.
This alone is a matter of discussion.
Right now, out of the seven-world power, there is only here world powers that have levelers
that surpasses Disk Formation realm levelers
That three forces id Pandemonium, Republic and the World Government. Pandemonium is on another class because of Death Monarch realm of power
But the Republic and the World Government is quite equal. And suddenly there is this rule
breaking faction that appears out of nowhere.
How could anyone be satisfied with this sudden development
Hikigaya and Oreki are both in Divine Comprehension realm.
They are the only force in the world that have two beings of Divine Comprehension realm. To
the other world powers, this is a threat. Now, there is another force that could ride on their head other than Pandemonium.
The world powers might have accepted Pandemonium as the premier world power and arbiter
of the world powers dispute, but they clearly could not accept another world power to sit on
top of their head.
This is the formation of a new bloc of power that has nothing to do with the world powers. And not only it is a new bloc of power, it is also a legal and acknowledged bloc of power unlike the small forces or the factions that is all over the world right now.
Unlike some group that created a faction to resist or support something or to engage in a particular line of business like the Crime Alliance, the Imperial Japan is legal, possessing power and influence, having allies in high places and a legitimate power and force that people could join without being the target of the world powers and the other factions and forces in
the world
Reporters from the White Owl has been waiting for this meeting since it was announced
almost a week ago.
When these four people enter the Centre Palace area, outside the gate of the Palace, the White
Owl all recorded this picture with their eyes or their magical instrument.
Some uses a more primitive method using cameras.
Some tries to ask question.
Most of the question are for Jean and for Hikigaya and Oreki.
Jean is mostly asked about Boris and how he would deal with him.
The expansion of the Republic cities.
Oddly enough, nobody ask him about Paulette.
