1651  Doing Your Best

Azief is now confident of his own strength. If he even passes this tribulation, he would have no rival on Earth

The more he knew how strong he is now, the more he thinks that he is lucky when he was fighting against the Demon King before.

Even though the Seresian creatures cultivate their power different from the way the people on Earth cultivated their energy, it is without a doubt that the Seresian Demon is Essence Creation level. Only that it focused on the body, not energies and soul and because of the power of the Heavenly Will that restricts him, Azief could have survived. "Though, maybe it is a difference in quality" Azie thought again. After all, he should not compare normal Essence Creation leveler and his Essence Creation realm

He thought back and he nodded to himself

"I should have expected it"

 When he was extracting his energies from his body, he could tell in just a glance that each of his Essence avatar is very powerful

That even if the world wanted to send tribulation lightning, it would not be able to affect much. The strength that he now possess is even more exaggerated than before and to break the earth, Heavenly tribulation is easy for him. Not to mention he controls one third of the heavenly Will making the effect of heavenly tribulation by the heavenly Will is nothing for him

But then one of his Essence avatars notices that there is another tribulation clouds is forming. At that time Azief was weak because of the effect of extracting the essence

But now, he merge the things that his avatars has seen is now is seen by him

It is like he downloaded all the information that the other Avatars had retained n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

If he thinks it in simple terms, each of the avatars that he had extracted, is like an external hard drive. You don't know what's in it until you plug it in and look at the data that is stored inside it. And his being is like the place where you could view the data.

Of course, the process is a bit different and more complicated but to put in in simple terms, this is close to what happens. Azief now notices that outside of Earth, there is a cloud forming. And the energy it is emanating is none other an energy that Azief very much familiar with

A destructive aura that is growing and expanding. Azief took a glance and in that one glance he sees many things and understood a lot of things. There is cosmic clouds that keeps expanding, cosmic dust that attract each other and assimilated into the cosmic clouds

cosmic energy from the black holes, the white holes the X elements, the unknown elements, the sun, the stars, the planets, all of it seems to be extracted from the surrounding space to form a cosmic cloud that fills the entire region that is Pandemonium . Not many people could see these clouds. Even Azief before he emerged with the two Essence Avatars could not see it.

But now that he had merged with it, when he look up the sky, his eyes sees past through the clouds.

His eyes look and saw the dark clouds. "This tribulation would be even more destructive than before" Azief thought to himself. He looks around him and while the forest and trees regrows back because of the life force emanated by him, he is quite sure, if the tribulation falls here on this ground, the place might become barren an infertile for thousands if not millions or even billions of years.

Destructive magic of such tribulation thunder probably also affect luck and fortune, affecting those intangible things

"It is not suitable to do it here" Azief thought and the moment he thought this, he kick his feet up and the ground shatters, the earth trembles and ripples like waves.

The earth around his feet undulates like it is a bouncy surface and then as it grows further it created echo quakes and spread out become an even bigger quake, shaking the entire Pandemonium as he goes

Azief in that brief moment, flew outside of Earth, almost in an instant, the space between Heaven and Earth appears like it was squeezed.

Did he move? Or did he move space and time to quickly arrive above the sky? Only he himself knew it

In a second,, he already arrived above Earth. A distance that is far away, hard to travel to after the Multiversal Convergence is like nothing to him

"Speed and my control over space and time has also increased" he thought to himself. He look behind him and saw Earth. Earth is now a few thousand times larger. But the planets around Earth has also increased in scale. And that is not the only thing that Azief notice now that he is outside of Earth space

He also notices that there is a force field on all the planets surrounding earth. And not only the planets but also the debris, the stars and even the dust

The energy during the Multiversal Convergence dispersed not only on Earth but to its surrounding planets , imbuing this Milky Way galaxy with mystical energies. Azief only took a second glance at Earth before he look around him and he could see a mass of clouds

This cloud seems to notice him and in just a few seconds, it occupies a space above his head

In space, it is almost impossible to determine up and down. But if the head is up and the feet is down, then the clouds would position itself above The cloud itself seems to possess a will of its own. "The Will of the Universe?" he thought to himself. BOOOM!

A shocking sound tear apart the space and even sound could escape the vacuum space.

"No" Azief thought to himself. It is not that the sound escapes the vacuum space but the sound echoes in his soul. The thunder and lightning seems stimulated by Azief arrival. Azief on the other hand is thinking about something else. Once again he looks back and glances with his eyes and he smiles

He send a Divine Sense to Raymond, Hikigaya, and Oreki.

And the moment this Divine Sense is sent to them, Oreki fly a little bit higher and Raymond pointed his trident upwards.

Hikigaya flies a little lower and his eyes become determined. "I could only do this much" he thought to himself. There is many other people he wanted to send a message to. But he could already feel that the clouds in front of him is not keen on waiting and it is about to erupt with great power

Since that is the case, he could not delay any longer and now had to focus on the fight that is about to happen

But even though, this seems to be a terrifying prospect for anyone, Azief seems to deal with it calmly.

Is he not afraid that he would fail? No….Azief are not afraid. He is afraid before.

But not now

There is this confidence in his heart. But also, a feeling that even if he failed, he could always try again. This mentality comes about only after failing. Azief had been used to being a failure before. But after the Fall, he never failed And that feeling actually brought pressure to him

Because he is good at it. Because he is amazing at it. And he could shed that feeling of being a failure. Yes, there is a lot of things to hate in the new world after the Fall. Some people might curse it. For example, the rich people or the powerful people of the Old World, where they could run around the world with money and become powerful because of a piece of paper. They do not like this new world. Because it is different from the world that they have before. Their world. And unlike any other times in the history of Earth, they did not have time to adapt. There is a reason why some noble families lasted even until the modern age. Because some of them knows to adapt when the change came

But the meteor strike, the zombie attack, the alien monsters and beast was something that happened overnight

In just a few days, civilization that the humans are so proud of crumbles. And people like Azief rise in this new world. And Azief found out that he not only thrive in this new world, he was the head honcho of it

It is like playing a game. And you are number one on the leader board. And you never want to let it go. So, he fight harder. He tries harder and the world repay that effort.

And he keeps succeeding.

The more he succeeded, the more he is pressured to keep succeeding. And when he failed the last time, that actually affect his heart a bit. He did not show it, but it affects him. No one knows what he is thinking of. Everyone always think it comes naturally to him. It did not help that his proposal was rejected. He then goes to the Seresian world, fully expecting to die only to spend time with Katarina in that world and rekindle old romance

And in that few moments of happiness, he got the chance to calm down and reflect on himself. And now, as he is face to face with this tribulation clouds, he could smile

Because this time, even if he fails, he knows he is going to be alright. Thinking about it would not change what is happening now. "Just trying to do your best"
