Lord Shadow

Chapter 1612 New Fact

So, a mystical scene began to unfold.

On one side, of this vast space, is light filled with life and creation. This side is the side where the Creator is standing

Stars, particles, atoms merged, mixed travels around each other and against each other, each clash sparks a change, each change evolve toward a place that could support life

On the other side, all light was snuffed, and all lives, is snuffed out. This is the side where the Destroyer is standing

All around him is dead things. A dead space. A dead world, dead stars, a dead universe. 

And there is a beauty in this. It is like balanced. 

Death and life. 

Order and chaos. 

Creation and Destruction. 

These two are like to opposite and contrary forces yet standing there, just by standing there, these two beings seem to represent the truth of the Universe. 

They are different, an antithesis to each other yet Azief seeing these two beings could feel that they are in fact complementary, interconnected and interdependent

They give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. 

Dark and light. 

Cold and hot.

They are opposite yet equal and create and control each other. 

They are the comparison of each other, bound together as part of a mutual whole.

A part of the system of the Universe. 

Azief could tell that just by looking at them, if it is someone who have great comprehension ability, that person probably could derive some magical means just by looking at these two beings standing near each other

"Like Yin and Yang" Azief thought to himself

The being of light is the Creator, bringing with Him light and life all over the lifeless universe. 

And, This being of destruction is none other than the Destroyer. 

Both of them occupy the area around the Etherna body, floating around the body of that Etherna, gazing at the body. 

They are all titanic in stature. 

But probably because this is a vision, Azief is also very large and he could see them clearly. In this vision, he could be anything.

From the stones that float in space to the stars that drifted from its orbit. In the vision, as long as the owner of this vision wanted him to become big or large, it depends only on one thought

If his size was not adjusted there is a great chance, that he would not see anything considering that it would be like an ant trying to see clearly the face of a human that is looking down on them

"What is this?" Azief thought to himself. 

There is the Creator. 

Even the Destroyer. And this Etherna…. why would these two being appears in front of the body of this particular Etherna.

Azief could see that the Etherna is not yet dead, but it would be a little overkill for these two beings to appear just to snuff out the life of this Etherna.

"This Etherna must be someone important" Azief had made this conclusion since the moment he saw this Etherna with a crown on his head

Azief could make an inference from this. 

That Etherna with the crown is probably the King of the Etherna. And the mystery of "him" is finally solved. 

This is the Etherna who Borgan presented the ring towards

The ring was presented to the King of Etherna" he mutters to himself

And judging from that brief glimpse of the vision he just saw; this king might not know that the ten rings was forged with eleven lives. 

And maybe that is all part of Borgan plans. 

After all, from the tone when Borgan spoke about the King of Etherna, she is not entirely fond of the King of Etherna.

But is it hate? No, not hate. Displeasure. It is also not dislike. It is more like she disagrees with him. 

It is clear that she also blames the King a little. Of course, all of this is just his conjecture. After all, he knows too little of the King of Etherna to make any judgment of him

And now that King of Etherna is now floating in space with only a breath left. However, that is not what shocked him

Instead, it is this scene that he is seeing right now that shocked him. 

The Creator seems to say something and then almost immediately the Destroyer then put his palm on the chest of the King of Etherna. 

And the most shocking thing happened. 

The Destroyer turns into a wisp of smoke. And this wisp of smoke began enveloping the entire body of that Etherna

The Creator is only looking at this event unfolding without doing anything to stop the Destroyer.

But then He makes a move

He waves his hand when the destruction aura that the Destroyer emanated began to become more wild and more chaotic. 

He seems to be there just to make sure that nothing goes wrong

And then the wisp of smoke that is enveloping the body of the Etherna began to enter the body from the ears, from the nose and the smoke also enter through the skin

"What is he doing?" Azief mutters to himself but he knows exactly what is happening 

And the lifeless almost dead body of that Etherna suddenly opens his eyes. 

And then he stood up.

But the aura around him is very different than the aura he emanated before. 

Azief also notices that the bleeding of the Etherna has also stopped. 

All of his injuries are also rapidly healing. 

Even the destruction aura that lingers in his body before that rots his skin has now suddenly been dissipated by some kind of invisible force. 

Then the Etherna made a grasping motion with his hand.

Swoosh!

And the stars all flew towards him and merge with the body creating a stony-like skin. 

And the King of Etherna suddenly emanates a destructive aura. And when the King of Etherna crack his neck and moves his body, there is a very powerful oppressive aura that is emanating out of him.

Even though this is just a vision, Azief could also feel that oppressive aura. Just being in the near proximity of this Etherna givens him a suffocating feeling

And then this Etherna began looking all over and his gaze is very cold

"How is this…. Is that how it is?" Azief mutters as he looks at the gaze of that Etherna. Because he finally understood certain things that had happened before

The moment he saw the gaze of that Etherna, something clicked in his mind

It was that gaze that shocked Azief Because he recognizes that gaze. And he understands what happens to the King of Etherna. 

"And what will happen to me" He thought to himself. It was like Azief is putting the clues he had before. 

And the puzzle that doesn't seem to fit now…. now, he finds the puzzle pieces that match and fit.

The body of the King of Etherna is given to the Detsoyer. Or taken.

So, the current Destroyer, is actually the King of the Etherna. 

"Is this the aftermath of the battle? Or is there another battle to be fought?" Azief thought to himself. If this is the aftermath of the war between Etherna and the Creator and Destroyer, then it is good

If not…. Azief could not help but think the despair that the Etherna would feel when they will face the Destroyer and seeing him coming and killing them using the body of their King. 

But Azief feel that the latter is closer to the truth. Because bad feelings usually came true.

And he could not help but sigh.

If that is so, then it is truly heart-breaking and maybe a poetic justice. 

Azief does not know why he felt like it would be poetic justice but he also notices that in this vision, in this space he did not know how to describe, his feeling seems to be influenced by the rings.

Before he did not know that the rings are forged with lives, so he did not think much of it. 

But after seeing how it was forged, and knowing more about the ring, Azief knows that the rings have ability that might not revealed to him just yet. 

And that the ring has power to influence his emotion. Maybe, it is also because he is in this space that Borgan has created that he could feel it even more intensely. 

In the lore of the Destroyer, it is said that his body alone could shatter worlds and universes. 

And in Etherna lore, the strongest of the Etherna could also do the same thing. They even play around with planets like mortals plays with toys. 

As for the gaze...that gaze is very familiar to him. Because that is the gaze, he sees in the Tiem Space tunnel. It is the same gaze that he saw in the future. Only in the future, he saw that gaze in him

And something clicks in his mind

"Will the Destroyer take my body?" And the moment these thought enter his mind, he could no longer stop thinking about it

 if this is the case, then it makes sense. Why he became like that.
