CHAPTER 1900: PROBLEM AT HOME

Azief did wonder since he has the protection of fate and destiny, wouldn’t he also successfully pass through this tribulation

Wargod simply said to him

"never look at fate and destiny and think of them as your ally and friend. They are a fickle bitch. And they are very unpredictable"

Azief think about what Wargod tells him and he believe what Wargod told him.

If there is someone who knows about fate and destiny, it must be the one that got screwed by fate and destiny that knows about it the most.

"It is time to go home" he said as he close the curtain and walk around his room. His room is quite huge and he could walk around and even run around in it.

He walks without purpose , like pacing in a room, trying to clear his mind

In this past week, he spent time with Will, Samara and Wargod. With Will, he kind of let go and relax himself.

With Samara, he also learns a few things about the Savi’krian. It seems whatever the intention of Samara is, she is sincere in helping Will

At least, that is how it seems to him. With these ancient beings you could not be sure until it is the last moment

They could be pretending and if they do pretend they would do a good job of doing it.

As for Wargod and him, even though they never met before today, after learning some things and after confirming some things, he believes that he could trust Wargod.

Because, Wargod and him is tied together with a string of fate.

From the moment he took that ring and wore it on his finger, he had been invisibly and inextricably linked with Wargod.

No, maybe even before then

Maybe, when the Destroyer chose him.....maybe it is since that moment.

Azief sighed.

He put all of these thought out of his mind and goes to the shower.

He take a bath and he seems to be taking his time.

When one in the shower, especially someone like Azief, when he is just soaking inside the bath tub, he is thinking about things.

But unlike before, he did not think about those world ending events or those difficult things about the world, the galaxy and the universe

He thinks about the people in his life.

There is some thoughts about Loki.

About Sina.

And then about Katarina....and Sofia.

Years has passed for him....and years probably passed for her...but it is not that easy to erase her trace and probably he also didn’t want to erase that trace.

It would be like denying a part of himself.

There were pain.

There is hurt.

But there is also happiness.

He doesn’t know what she would think about it....but he had hoped, she also feel a bit of the happiness that he had felt.

Even though he doesn’t express it that much.....he was never that good in expressing it but he was happy.

It is a pity that the word happy alone is not enough to express the kind of happiness he felt

Even a scale of happiness that could be created to express these feelings in number would and could not accurately point out the kind of happiness he felt.

It is a subtle feeling and it is hard to describe that kind of happiness

Like the feeling of going home after a long journey and meeting someone you wanted to meet, like meeting an old friend, like the excitement of waiting for spring, like the scent of a favourite bread...how could one give a name to this feeling of happiness that encompass all of these feelings and more?

You can’t because mortal words are not enough to express these subtle feeling.

All these feeling could only be summed up with the human limited language ability is "happy"

The happiness he has with Sofia is different than the happiness he has with Katarina.

Katarina is pure. She is straightforward. Everything is easy with her.

Some people might think that the harder things are the worthier things. But love and affection does not always follow that kind of thing.

Easy here does not mean that having her is easy. It is that feeling you get when you are with them

That makes everything feel natural and easy.

With Sofia, it is always hard.

Was it because they both care too much about each other, consider each other too much that in that process instead of understanding each other, they hurt each other?

Maybe that is the one part of the reason.

But the reason is more about why he could not open his heart.

Azief suddenly have these thoughts and it is not some random thoughts that just pooped out just because he is having a shower

Because he is going home.

And he had to face all of these.

He had been blocking himself from seeing Sofia.

He has set some measure to make sure she is safe but as for personally going to meet her, he did not do that.

The pain is still quite raw for him. Rejection is not a pleasant thing. But he also wonder why the pain is still so raw.

After many years, he is quite sure his hypothesis is true. That the stronger you became, the more it affected your emotion. Wargod and Samara confirmed this for him

They both said that the energy and magic affected emotions. Because sometimes the greatest magic could only be performed with great emotions. Many great magic comes from great emotion

Whether that be light magic or dark magic, it uses emotions as a guide. Great hate and great love creates great magic.

The stronger one becomes in the study of magic the more their emotions is deep and pronounced.

But they also said that this enhancement of emotion is also a bit like of a punishment by the will of the Universe.

They make the emotion strong so that it would balance the power.

Hence, why many gods sometime seek their own destruction without knowing it.

Sometimes even when they know that the action that they were about to take would destroy them, they could not stop doing it.

Like some kind of impulsive feeling

When he got back, there is many things he need to put to rest. And there are things that he could not just cut and could not just solve

"Some things need time to take control of it" His feeling for Sofia is quite strong. Only time would solve it.

As for the other problem that requires his strength to solve, that is no problem at all in his eyes

Even more so after his experience in the temple. His strength has reached appoint that near reach Sovereign realm.

What problem could his strength not solve on Earth where the other highest realm in that world other than him is in Divine Comprehension

"Pandemonium is the easiest one to solve" he thought to himself.

After all, he cheated bit.

Before he goes, he did something to Pandemonium. In a way, it is a way to prove his method of Creation and Destruction works.

He is ninety percent sure. That is why he let the conflict ferment and explode like it did.

"Sasha and Wang Jian" as he mutters these two names he could not help but sighed.

It is a wonder that these two people are loyal to him yet at the same time, they could not trust each other

They both have loyalty towards him.

One could even say that they have extreme loyalty towards him and Azief could understand why they become like that

Sasha was once his enemies. But because of her friendship with Sina, she was entrusted to become one of Azief most trusted minister.

She is even in charge of the Shadow Guards and then Pandemonium Intelligence Agency

Wang Jian on the other hand was betrayed by his king and was recruited by Sofia and Loki.

Azief also did not doubt him and employs him and give him military power and trusted him to do things for him

This and more made these two people feel like they owe him something. And that debt, that guilt added with the superior and subordinate relationship that they have made them extremely loyal towards him

However, their essence of loyalty is quite different

Wang Jian loyalty could even be said blind loyalty.

He would not serve a second master. He himself was not born like this. But Wang Jian is not smart kid when he was young.

He was in a concentration camp of the Chinese government with his parents. His parent was arrested because of seditious campaign against the government.

But considering the climate at that time, any kind of words against the government could be considered seditious.

For an authoritarian government, the very notion of free speech is seditious.

Wang Jian probably saw his parents die in front of his eyes.

He got out in his teen and he did not have any prospect for work.

He could be considered exiles and tainted in the eyes of society.

The world treated him badly. And so, he has not sympathy for the world
