Lord Shadow-Chapter 1635 An Urn

And some people could not withstand the restriction of the Sea of Light which made them unable to fly.

Not able to fly is not exactly a pleasant restriction if you have tasted the feeling of flying. But they are some people that did not mind losing the ability to fly

Today, when night descended, the Sea of Light like always glows with that ethereal light that seems to cover the world.

Everything seems alright with the world.

But then the energy of the Essence of Death Monarch spread to the Sea of Light and something happened to the Sea of Light

the Light that is always present in this expanse of the sea dimmed and the resident of the island near the center of the Sea of Light could see something.

Something that they could not have seen before because of the light that always fills the sea. But now that the Light dimmed, their eyes could see through it

Or maybe, it could only be seen when the light dissipated

But even then, only a few people could see it clearly.

Those who have Disk Formation realm could see a silhouette of an object. But they could not see it clearly.

But the Eyes of Heaven is present. The Heavenly Will saw it.

A lamp with a wick on it. Only this wick produce light. And it is this light that covers the whole expanse of the Sea of Light

It is hard to believe that one small lamp could ignite the entire sea. The lamp itself seems to emanate the aura of life and there are traces of rules and laws of the world around it

Laws of fortune, of fate, of destiny seems to gather upon this lamp.

And while others could not guess what aura that is hidden in this wick, the Heavenly Will could discern it quite clearly.

It is Wishes. Wishes is the source of that lamp power.

"Splitting…. the…. fortune…. of…. Heaven….and…. Earth" The Heavenly Will spoke and there is anger in his tone.

The Heavenly Will is shaking with anger and he stomp his feet and the heaven shakes and tremble.

It is the same when the force of Azief energy sweeps through the sea, the heaven and Earth shakes and trembles, the four corners of the world is alarmed, the ceiling of Heaven was split open and the world quake and groan.

And for a moment, when Azief essence energy spread toward the Sea of Light the wick could not generate light. A moment passes and then the light is generated again.

And the Heavenly Will frowns.

He mutters

"I….do…. not…. know" This is a shock to Him.

And His eyes look all over the Ten Seas, trying to see if all the other seas are like this. Hiding monsters, beast and things

Whether there is many things that he still did not know about the Ten Seas.

And His gaze flew toward the Cloud Sea.

The Cloud Sea, a surreal expanse that defies conventional seas, presents itself as an ethereal marvel—a vast expanse that appears to be crafted from billowing clouds rather than liquid waters.

Those who dare to navigate its area experience a sensation akin to traversing the heavens themselves.

Sailing upon the Cloud Sea feels like an otherworldly journey, as if voyaging through the celestial realm.

The clouds beneath the vessels' hulls offer an otherworldly sensation, mimicking the sensation of floating amidst the cloudscape rather than the traditional sensation of cutting through water.

The wispy, cotton-like expanse evokes a sense of weightlessness and surreal beauty, creating an illusion of sailing across the very sky.

This sea is still one of the seas that belongs to the pirates even after their defeat against the Seven world powers.

Despite their substantial defeat at the hands of the Seven World Powers and the devastating blow dealt by the Death Monarch, the spirit of piracy endures within the Cloud Sea and its surrounding domains.

The dissolution of the Pirate Alliance and the execution of numerous Pirate Lords might have appeared to signal the end of an era, but it did not eradicate the presence of pirates entirely.

The resilient nature of these seafaring renegades persists despite the setbacks and retributions they faced.

While the power dynamics may have shifted, scattering and disbanding numerous pirate crews, the allure of adventure, freedom, and the lure of untamed waters remains an irresistible call for certain individuals.

The pirates have adopted a lower profile, operating with a heightened sense of discretion and caution.

They've dispersed across the world's seas, their activities subdued and less conspicuous compared to their previous bold exploits.

Among the myriad seas that span the globe, the Cloud Sea serves as an intriguing haven and a preferred location for pirates to establish their clandestine strongholds.

The ethereal and ever-shifting nature of this sea, veiled in clouds that obscure conventional navigation and offer concealment, provides an ideal cover for these renegades to operate discreetly.

The world powers did not have many intelligences here in the Cloud Sea

The world powers, focused on maintaining control and surveillance over more conventional and heavily trafficked regions, allocate fewer resources to monitor and gather intelligence within the Cloud Sea.

Its elusive nature and shifting cloud cover create obstacles for conventional surveillance methods, making it harder to establish a consistent and reliable intelligence network.

As a result, compared to the more accessible seas and regions where maritime activities are more prevalent, the Cloud Sea remains a relatively unmonitored domain for the world powers.

This lack of robust intelligence presence grants pirates and clandestine groups a significant advantage, enabling them to operate with greater freedom and lesser scrutiny within this mysterious sea.

Before, the reason why they did not pay attention to the Cloud Sea is because they did not want to provoke war with the Pirate alliance

As for now, even after the battle and the world power won the war between the pirates and the world power, they still did not pay attention to the Cloud Sea

There is of course reason for this

Because after the war, the world power has their own problems to deal with.

The return of Boris, the Right Chancellor, to the Senate sparks a tumultuous political scenario within the Republic.

His reemergence not only reignites old rivalries and tensions but also triggers a wave of discontent and anger from the Senate and the Senators

Then there is Katarina who is very much angered by the resistance from the Senators, further complicating the already delicate balance of power within the Senate.

Simultaneously, the Republic faces the absence of their Left Chancellor, Jean, whose personal quest to find an antidote for his wife's poisoning takes him on a global journey.

This creates a void in the Senate, leaving a crucial position vacant at a time when the Republic needs unified leadership the most.

Then there is the World Government

Right now, the World Government has to deal with the secession of the Japanese Empire from the founding members of the World Government

Japan right now is one of the unstable factors of the world and would could be the source of the geopolitical upheaval. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝓃𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝑚

It is easy to think that the era of the world right now is an era of gods, where godly being could wave their hands and all problems in the world disappears.

But that is not the case. There is only a few being in the world that could truly stay away from the turbulence of the world politics.

Even when they are godlike being. Death Monarch could transcend above it all because he is the strongest person in the world

However, that is not the case for many people. Because the world is still full of people and where there is people there is desire.

And when there is desire, there is hatred, love, emotions.

And conflict is born.

For interest.

For hate.

For love.

For all the things that the heart wants and do not want.

The Seven World powers rules the world and after the defeat of the pirate and the Crime Alliance, there is no force in the world that have enough power to constrain the action of the Seven world powers.

Karma, cause and effect, good fortune, luck and misfortune, only these intangible concepts could at least stop these beings from wreaking havoc.

And when the seven world powers defeated the Crime Alliance, the defeat should have ushered a new era of peace.

Let the gods fight the gods and let mortals live their life. But the boundary between the abode of gods and the living space of mortals is blurred.

If you ae unlucky you would be in the vicinity of a god fighting and be turns into ash just because you are near their battle site.

Death Monarch proposed the Ten realm solution, the Seven world powers rules the world and maintain the peace and all of this should easily be realized especially after the big victory

But what happens when these gods conflict with each other?

Japan seceded from the World Government and that was a bombshell declaration that shook the world.

In just one moment, the stable seven world power is rocked by a new problem.

The other six powers of the world is also worried. Even though this did not affect their plans, small matters could always become large matters

It's fine if Japan only seceded. But he did not stop there. Japan is now alone and isolated once again like it was hundreds of years ago

And so, it needed an ally.

And who did he choose?

Greece.

And this shocked everyone.

Greece has always been an independent nation since the Fall.

They sometimes allied with the World Government, sometimes they allied with the Republic, sometime they lend their aid to the Leage of Freedom.

There was a time they were also a half member of the World Government.

Hikigaya had announced to the world that he would meet with the Seven Warlord of Greece to discuss cooperation

Which basically saying to the world that he is forming an alliance with Greece.

The alliance sought by Hikigaya was not merely a matter of diplomacy but a meticulous balancing act—a convergence of interests aimed at preserving Japan's autonomy and independence and also to deter some forces that might think that Japan is now weak

At the same time, this alliance would allow Japan to amplified its voice in the global corridors of power.

Hikigaya the protecter of Japan would surely forge an alliance with the Seven Warlords of Greece to maintain the interest of Japan in the world

This is a done deal to the eyes of many people in the world

This has the potential to create another block of power, with the alliance between The Empire of Japan and Greece

Hirate, cognizant of the intricate power dynamics at play, perceived this alliance as a potential threat to the status and primacy of the existing global order.

That is not exactly a development that Hirate, the President of the World Government like to see.

And the World Government also has to deal with the fact that they are the only one amongst the Three Great Powers that did not have a Divine Comprehension realm being in their regime which put them at disadvantage with the Republic and Pandemonium, both world powers that have Divine Comprehension realm being sitting and act as guardian for their regime and government.

It is the same for the other world powers.

Everyone is grappling with their own internal issues.

Who has the time to care about the Cloud Sea?

and since the world is vast, nobody is eagerly wanting that piece of the sea when there is so much sea area that they could focus on.

The Cloud Sea, despite serving as the headquarters of the Pirates and holding the unique quality of clouds that could be fashioned into construction materials, failed to garner substantial attention from the major world powers.

Its relative obscurity stemmed from the sheer vastness of the world's oceans and the multitude of other maritime territories that held more immediate strategic importance.

For most world powers, the Cloud Sea was not a priority.

Its remote location and the lack of clear, tangible benefits that could rival the strategic resources or political leverage offered by other seas and territories contributed to its status as a less coveted domain.

But today, when the Essence energy of primordial energy swept by the Cloud Sea, something happened.

The billowing clouds that perpetually veiled the surface of the Cloud Sea were abruptly displaced, revealing a sight of beauty.

Instead of the expected body of water, the unveiled expanse now mirrored the star-studded canvas of the night sky, a breath-taking expanse of celestial bodies reflected upon the sea's surface.

The once-obscured surface of the Cloud Sea now resembled a mirrored reflection of the cosmos—a wondrous sea of stars that shimmered upon the water's expanse.

Each twinkling star, previously hidden beneath the veil of clouds, now found its reflection upon the surface of this transformed sea domain.

It reveal an otherworldly vista that captivated onlookers and stirred wonder and awe.

an ocean transformed into a celestial mirror, where stars adorned the surface with a mesmerizing and ethereal allure.

And to those who is near the center of the Cloud Sea, and if they at that time look down, they would see something

An urn.

This urn produces clouds. But when the primordial energy swept the Cloud Sea, this urn suddenly stop producing clouds

But the moment the energy passes by, the urn produces clouds once again and the clouds fills the Cloud Sea and no one is the wiser.

But this did not escape the eyes of the Heavenly Will.

And its eyes narrows
