Lord Shadow

Chapter 1215: A Great Story



Chapter 1215: A Great Story

‘Could it really be like that? Fate and Destiny was fighting back against my interference. Or am I overthinking this?’ he thought to himself.

Earth Two should have been destroyed but because of his interference the world survives.

So, the machinations of fate work against him and instead, Azief, the cause of the world being saved is because of him but because of fate and destiny fighting back he also become the cause of which the world ends.

‘A circle’ he thought to himself. He once had this thought when he was at Xi Feng world, a world of endless reincarnation.

Reincarnation is a circle. There is Heavens beyond the Heavens. A Circle. Then how to break oneself away from the circle? Is there no escape?

He shakes his head and tries to forget the thoughts that is about to branch in his mind.

When he thinks about it again, thinking about the event that he experienced, he felt like there was something that is perfect and orderly about those events, almost like it was a perfect circle.

Like he had returned back to beginning even if it is at the end.

Meeting and farewell, if you reverse it, it is still the same, a meeting and a farewell.

The fate of the world did not change.

Was it delayed because of his arrival?

Yes, but since he is the cause of that world survival, fate and destiny also marks him and made him become the reason why that world would fall.

There is some kind of poetic end to it. There is a beauty to it that only now he could appreciate. It was heart rendering, tragic and all kinds of bad stuff

If this was Azief in the past, he would not be able to see it.

But standing on a different height and seeing it from his vantage point, there is a beauty to the beginning and end of the story of him in Earth Two.

It is hard to describe the beauty of everything falling into place.

It did not mean he likes it or even cherishes it. He just understands that it was a beautiful turns of events that happens because of the interaction of cause and effect.

He sighed and then he focusses back in looking at the projection. And right now, Julia is about to get transported into another world.

he looks as Julia is sucked into a hole of light in the sky and disappeared from the world.

‘They must be confused right now when they saw the world that they arrived in’ Azief thought to himself.

After all, Julia would soon know that the world that they have been transported to is not Earth Two but Earth X.

Almost all of the people of Earth two chose to go back. there are of course some that decided to stay in this world

Some of them have grown accustomed to living in this world and they either have a family here or something that they could not let go or some of them just like it here more than their world

For those kind of people, their immortality and their system were taken away from them as it would interfere with the Heavenly operation.

Of course Julia called it differently

She called it the operation of the world but Azief called it Heavenly Operation. She did not believe in magic or the power of it that a world could have a will.

It is sometimes ironic how advanced knowledge makes some people arrogant and thought that they knew there is about everything.

Because everything could be explained by the science that she learned, she thought she knew the truth of how she, Matsuo and Takashi created this world

However, Azief did not blame them. They could not sense the birth of Wills and desires of the Heaven and the people under it converging.

It is because the people in here, the native people, the NPCs were given True Souls.

And souls are magical thing and could not be quantified but could be sensed by magical creatures of magicle beings such as himself.

It is beyond the measurement of mechanical device as it depends on intuition and instinct.

‘Still, now that they are going to Earth X, I believe Julia would soon change her mind’ he thought to himself.

Azief could see that the moment Julia and the other player disappeared from this world, the fortune that they gathered disperse back to the world and Azief is quite sure that the Heavenly Will would bless the native people of this world with the fortune it had.

(Major spoilers for Age of Adventure after this so read at your own risk)

But while most of the people that had chosen to leave had already transported to the new world, Aero and Amy stayed for a while.

They tend to Helena that is on her deathbed. Her beauty is no longer there. She had aged and her son had grown up.

Her son which is also Aero son.

There is a reason why they tend to Helena. Helena is Aero wife.

At the last end of her breath, Aero who had never cry in front of her, cried

His tears fall and he kiss her on her forehead, the last kiss for her, expressing his love for one of the greatest love he had ever felt in his life, the one that ignites his passion.

Azief could not help but felt moved seeing the scene.

Especially knowing it is real and maybe he too found some similarities between him and Aero.

While their personalities and their way of looking at life is very different, there is some parts of them that is similar and that is their attitude toward love.

Or maybe he just felt happy that Aero got to spend his life with the person he loved. And that the person he loved, loved him back, loved him enough to say yes.

There is a lot that happens in between, there is betrayal but there was also forgiveness in that.

After all the intrigues, betrayal, wars and battles, finally peace is dawning in the continent

Then after that, Aero starts to tour the Empire to says his farewell to the person he knows, many of his subordinates now almost all of them are great military leader, and most of them are also old

He would come to them and relive old stories.

Aero did not grow old.

Neither did Amy.

Because they were not the natives of this world. They do not age and when they die, they did not exactly die for real

He went to meet the Sage of Danoba. He met the elves and tour the plains of the Orchish kingdom.

He also met Tatiana who is now a Grand Viceroy of New Vanheim in the new world

She never got married but have two adopted daughters. But, who knows? She seems to be opening up her heart.

Maybe someday, she would give that person the answer to his question, Azief could not help but smile looking at this.

Even though this is nearing the end of the story for Aero, there is new stories that are being born.

Azief could not help but wonder what would happen to the life of Tatiana after Aero leave? What would happen to the other characters?

As there are stories of vengeful gods and tragic battles, there is also stories of intense and poignant love

Azief even felt reluctant to see the end of this story.

As Aero tours the Empire, Azief also began to extinguishes his avatar that he put on the people that is connected to Aero

One by one, it was extinguished until the only one that is left is him who is always beside Aero

Then there is his sworn brother, the Son of the Hephaestus, Derrick who married with Princess Morgana and have many children and grandchildren.

And he met many other people that helps him and even met his enemies.

Not to gloat but to try to resolve old enmities.

And then finally, the end of the journey.

Aero stands on a beach, looking at the most beautiful sunset that he probably seen in his life at that moment

Because this is the last sunset he would see in this Vilajeri Continent. He smiles and he laughs and he cried.

Standing beside him is Amy.

Now, that…. that is also an epic love stories that is choke full of interference of gods and goddess, obstacles and conflict

But which epic love stories doesn’t have this kind of difficulties?

They hold each other hands and they use the device. A bright light enveloped them and they disappeared from Vilajeri Continent.

And in that moment Azief saw Aero luck and fortune were transferred to his son.

And of course then it is Azief turn

‘What a great story.’ He thought to himself.

‘An age filled with adventure’ There was just something about it that makes Azief yearn to love like these people.

Seeing them, it reminded him something that he had gradually forgot. The difficulties of being humans and what it means in being humans and his initial intention.

He saw how flawed these people were but also saw their brightest and glorious moment. That a person is not always defined easily.

That as long as you live, there is a chance to be something else.
