Lord Shadow

1653  Tall Wall

On the other side of the world is Jean

And Jean has his own problems that he has to deal with and his heart is filled with anxiousness. There is things he wanted to do and there is many things he should do. But he could not do it well because he is still worried about Paulette. Such loyalty, such care would make anyone envious. But even though he has so many problems, he could not ignore what is happening in the world

When it affects the world like this, it could no longer be ignored

The Jean of this timeline is quite different from the Jean in Loki timeline. He is not as cruel or as callous as he is now

This is probably a butterfly effect. The wind of the butterfly wing has now created a storm. Cause and effect when it piles up like this, it creates new variable. Jean in this timeline is different. There is some similarities. But as time goes by, there is more differences than similarity.

And that is not necessarily a bad thing. Jean in the other timeline could not care about the world at all, only hoping that his sleeping beauty would wake up

In this timeline, even though he is still that affectionate man, he has this sense of responsibility toward the world. After all, the current world, he has a hand on creating it. The conflicts, the alliances, the strife and wars all of them has some traces of him

Especially in Europe. Even after he had changed his way, there is still so many people that wanted to kill him because of what he had done to Europe.

And Jena did not blame them. There are some deaths that he feels guilty about. And then there are some deaths that he believes is justified

He wanted to survive at that time. And he did not hesitate to sue any means necessary. But had come to regret some decision that he had made in the past

Is that why he is so obsessed with the Law of Time? If the Order of Thinkers research the great people in the world, they might find some similarity of theme between all of them

Death Monarch is someone who is afraid of Death. And what is the law he is most proficient with? The Laws of Life and Death.

What about Hikigaya? He is someone living in his own world. He wanted a world that he could be free. And what is his most proficient law? The Laws of Reality and Illusions. All of the great people in the world that has achieved something all share this same theme

Things that they are afraid of, things that they wanted, things that they desire manifested in their mastery of their ability

Like it synchronized with them. And Jean probably felt an affinity to the Law of time because of his desire to come back to the past to right the wrongs he had made. Jean of this timeline is different. He is more empathetic. He is more understanding. There is still some of that coldness and that decisiveness.

But…..there is also heart. There is also light. So, how could he not feel a bit of that responsibility? He also look at the sky. And so, he also hears the word

"You can" there is only two words by Jean understood what Death Monarch is trying to say to him

Hikigaya look at the sky and fear what will come down from the sky. Jean also worries. But when both of them saw the clouds is about to render its judgment, seeing Death Monarch is about to undergoes the tribulation both of them have a premonition in their hearts

Seeing it with their own eyes, might have some benefit. The closer they came to the tribulation clouds, the more benefit they could gain

This is his premonition. The same as Hikigaya premonition

So, they wanted to watch. Jean by now knows that Paulette illness would not take her life.

At least for now. He is still scrambling all over the world seeking for an antidote, or magical medicine that could bring her back

But…. there is actually another way. Another way where he could save Paulette

And that is to become stronger. Maybe, if he became stronger, touching a certain law, he could go back to that time. Back to that time where Paulette was attacked Jean did try to go back to that time. 14:07 n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Only now, when he is presented with the same choice, he could understand a bit why Death Monarch chose to go to the future even knowing the effect of that decision

Jean tries to go back to that day where Paulette fall into that misfortune.

But the laws of time and space has become stronger after the Multiversal Convergence. He could use his power to reverse time. But that power is limited to certain area. And the time is also not long

It means he did not yet have enough power to control time and space absolutely. And he is not the only one with the ability to control time and space. Not everybody would let you mess with time and space.

The more he tries, the stronger the resistance of time and space. Not to mention the Heavenly Will…..He would also not allow it. Because of that he has been searching for magical medicine or some other methods. But….he could also become stronger. When that happens, when his mastery of law of time and space improved again, maybe he could go to that day and prevent it from happening. Or at least tweak the event. He knows that tweaking the past created a ripple that would speed to the future. He also knows that the best he could do is tweak the past so that it would not affect the future too much and created a paradox. So, he wanted to rush toward the sky. To look. To witness the tribulation. And maybe learn something from it But like Hikigaya, Jean also hesitated. In that moment when these two people were hesitating to rush upwards toward the sky, the answer come to them.

And Hikigaya smiles. Jean on the hand still hesitates. But then he clenches his fist, like he had made the decision

And Jean has always been a decisive person. Once he make up his mind, he would go through with it

Only in that way, he had carved a path for himself in this world

Those who could be mentioned with Death Monarch are all great figures in the world and all of them have certain qualities about them that made them stand up in this world Raymond is like that. Hikigaya is like that. Oreki is like that. Katarina is like that. Loki is like that. And Jean is no exception. Jean did not wait any longer, he moves upwards and time and space around him begins to spiral out of control

Droning sound could be heard around him space and time distorts.

And then almost as sudden as the droning sound appears, the sound also disappears suddenly

When the space and time finish distorting, Jean is no longer there but up there in the sky, beyond the heavens of earth, looking at the stars and the planets in the distance.

The distance that is too high and too far even for a Seed Forming leveler, is easily traverse by Jean. He stands at the edge of the atmosphere of Earth, looking at Azief in the far distance, somewhere near Mars. He sees the clouds. And then he sist cross legged in the air, his eyes is open

"I will be the witness" he mutters and Azief even though the distance between them is very far away, he heard it and he simply smiles. Hikigaya on the other hand said something first before he flies toward the sky. He looks at Oreki and simply said

"The Thunder and Lightning is coming. Take only what you can and retreat before it is too late" Then he waves his hand and a talisman flew toward Oreki

"use this only as the last resort" Even though Oreki could not see what is happening above him, could not see the fight that is about to happen in the outer space, he could tell from Hikigaya words that he would not be here

"Something happened?"

Hikigaya replies

"I think I could learn something" And Oreki only smiles and nodded

"See you later" Hikigaya smiles and then his body begins to fade, the wind comes by and blows gently and Hikigaya disappears from the area like he is a smoke blown by the wind. And he appears beside Jean. Jean look toward his left and he only smiles. They both understood each other and did not bother each other

There is no time for chit chatting now. Especially as the vital force of Death Monarch spread out. "What a powerful life force" Hikigaya thought to himself. "It is a pity only we could see this" Hikigaya mutters. Sound should not travel normally in vacuum space

But Jean could hear it even in outer space. When Hikigaya speaks, his words are full of the laws and concepts of the world. Space and time could not break it, and vacuum of space is nothing but a trifle inconvenience. Jean nodded. If this vital force spreads out to Earth, he is sure that the entire world would be shocked. This kind of vital force could rejuvenate an entire world. But this also shows how much energy that is needed for this breakthrough. If the life force of Death Monarch, even just a fluctuation of it is this thick, then he could not imagine the life force that so contained in the body of Death Monarch

"he is a tall wall."

"It is unbelievable" Hikigaya mutters. >> Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
