Lord Shadow

Chapter 1961: Sword of Humanity

Death Monarch entrusted it to her. Just like how Death Monarch once trusted Loki to become a regent. This time the role is the same only the character is different

Not to mention, even though the civil officials of pandemonium does not like Sasha, they abhor Wang Jian even more.

This has a lot to do with the fact that in the eyes of the civil officials, the military officers acted independently most of the time

They were not worried when Death Monarch was there.

But when Death Monarch is not there, the central government could not control these people

And Wang Jian reason of clearing the court is nothing more than a rhetoric of a rebel leader

As for Wang Jian his supporters believe Sasha is overstepping her power and she should be imprisoned.

Whatever the reason, the war has lasted this long and there is no clear winner. Even the people fighting this war probably forgot why the war has been fought for.

But it also spills outside.

Both forces are trying to win legitimacy.

This is also one of the reasons why the other world powers did not do anything. They did not hinder, and they did not help

Because they are not sure which one is legitimate.

The world powers would not make rash decisions.

After all, what the world powers is worried about is Death Monarch.

There are many examples to learn from.

Those who mess with Death Monarch never wins.

The World Government is the prime example.

Not to mention this time they were allies.

But even allies have limits.

Even allies need to tread carefully.

Any decision could have catastrophic effect.

The stance of the world powers is clear.

This is the internal matter of Pandemonium.

Hence, Pandemonium needs to solve it.

This is not a case where an external invasion force occupied Pandemonium region.

This is not an invasion force that attacks Pandemonium and shakes the stability of the world order

It is none of that

This is a civil war. As much as other world powers hated Pandemonium interfering in their affairs, they assume Pandemonium would also hate being interfered by foreign powers.

If the other world powers start interfering in the internal matters of Pandemonium this would open a precedent for other world powers to interfere when there is problem in their place.

This is why the other world powers hesitated to interfere.

As for the problem that affected Arthur that he had to demote himself is because both Sasha and Wang Jian is sending messages to the vassals of Pandemonium to declare their stance.

Whether they supported Sasha or Wang Jian.

They did not know what would happen if they chose one or the other because there is no example being made yet.

And none of them want to made example of.

Arthur chooses to demote himself and waited for Death Monarch.

As for the decision to demote himself, this is because of bureaucratic reasons. The bureaucracy of Pandemonium is quite contrite to say the least.

Especially involving vassal kingdoms.

Of course, Death Monarch rarely cares about it. And he probably doesn’t even know it.

After all, Death Monarch never care that much what the people below him did. What he did is according to his whims.

To match it with the administration is the use of civil officials.

If even Death Monarch had to tend every little detail, then what is the use of those civil officials that he hired.

Death Monarch probably don’t know all of the civil officials he employed and the amount of the civil officials that has seen Death Monarch privately is very scarce.

Most of the people that could see Death Monarch are those who have high position.

And even then, mostly it was Death Monarch giving orders instead of listening to advice.

If there was one world power where everything lies with the authority of the rulers, it would be Pandemonium.

It is a privilege only found on founding ruler. And Death Monarch is the founding ruler of Pandemonium.

There is no law he could not use. Because he is the law

Until then he would be cautious and try not to step on anyone’s toes. When Death Monarch returns, he would sort these children out.

To Arthur, he did not lose anything.

All he had to do was wait.

The title of king is not needed for the people of this island continent to know who is in charge.

He has the strongest army, and he has the backing of Death Monarch. His position as king whether they called him king or not is irrelevant

He has the power

Arthur was about to order something when suddenly he felt the ground shake.

He frowned. And he looks at Ahmad.

Ahmad looks back at him

“You felt that?” Ahmad nodded.

Arthur got up from his seat and then he flew toward the balcony door.

As he comes close to the balcony door, he slows down his speed and the sensor recognizes his presence and opens up.

The moment the balcony door opens a cold wind blows into the throne room and all the noises from the outside seem to rush inside the throne room. What they hear is more than just normal noise around the capital city

They heard thunder roaring, and they saw lightning bolt striking down the ground and splitting the sky

“What is happening out there?’ it did not take long for Arthur to feel the energy.

He closes his eyes and sends his Divine Sense out.

Ahmad did the same.

And at the same time, they frowned

“There is someone inciting all of this.

The power of heaven and earth is manipulated by this person”

Arthur opens his eyes, and a second later Ahmad opens his eyes.

Arthur slowly floated down as he looked down at the balcony.

The balcony of the throne room is high.

It is on the thirtieth floor.

The palace of Arturia itself is full of people on the floor below. It is full of servants of the palace and the royal guard.

There is also many other talents that reside in the Palace. And just a moment after they see these spectacles, alarms were sounded.

Arthur did not have to give order for the royal guard to know what to do at this moment.

They already march out and rides out.

Those heavy infantry march with military formation. Of course, it is not like those soldiers who walk feet following the others

When these soldiers march out, the energy around them coalesce. Depending of the formation they created, it could defend or attack

Those with Pegasus rides toward the sky ready to infuse military formation with their energy

Usually this kind of spectacle is not something that disturbs Arthur.

Because this is not the first time that this palace has been besieged.

Sometimes, to prove their strength, some people would come here trying to challenge him.

Out of the many challengers only three people ever breach the defense of the wall and forces Arthur to use the Sword of Humanity.

These three people that once breach the defenses are all powerful people that wanted to try the power of the Sword of Humanity.

Why?

Because the power of the Sword is a trace of Divine Comprehension realm

To some people who wanted to break through to Divine Comprehension realm, just feeling the aura of that realm up close is enough for them to learn something from it.

So, Arthur is not as surprised.

But that changed just now.

“This is no normal Divine Comprehension realm”

Ahmad also nodded.

This is the first time both of them have had such grave expression when dealing with a challenge.

Both of them are accustomed to people trying to come to the palace to try the sword. None of those that came before have any hostile intention.

It is even like some kind of a ritual.

Even the people of the city are not shocked.

But why are the people in the battlements, and why is Arthur and Ahmad is shocked now?

Presumably, all of those pirates, knights, priest, thieves on the city would also be surprised.

Because this feels like a real bonafide Divine Comprehension realm that is coming.

Those that came before were all Disk Formation realm levelers.

They came to try to grasp the realm of Divine Comprehension.

Their realm itself ranges from those in the high realm of Disk Formation or the peak realm of Disk Formation.

Before breaking though, all of them would want to see if they found inspiration to break through to Divine Comprehension realm

After all, it is not like they could ask one of the Divine Comprehension levelers in the world to fight against them.

The Sword of Humanity has a trace of Divine Comprehension power and if it is used fully with all of his energy, it could rival the Divine Comprehension realm levelers .

Theoretically, it could even withstand the attack of any other powerful beings on Earth other than Death Monarch himself.

Of course, this is just theory.

After all, even though the power of the Sword of Humanity is immense and it does have the power of Divine Comprehension realm, it is a tool.

People are alive.
