Arial rarely shows his face as his face is usually hidden under the shadows of his hood


    However, this time, like a metamorphosis, he shows his face. Of course, he could always add the design to his new attire.


    With a snap of his finger, a hood could appear on the back if he wanted to. But Azief like it better like this and he understood something as he looks at his attire.


    He smiles and he tilted his head to the right like he found something very funny about it all.


    This rtes heavily to his own psyche, the design of the attire that is.


    Since the beginning of the journey since the Fall, Azief had experienced many things and while there are bad memories along the way, there is also good things that he had experienced


    These good thing teaches him and affect him, influence him and ultimately changes him.


    He is not the same person that started the journey.


    But just because he is no longer the same person, did not mean that what he has now be is something bad


    He is better. And while there is still some hypocrisy in him, he at least trying to be honest to himself


    Whether that be his feeling or his desires.


    And like the clothes symbolizes is intent and soul, there is no hood. The hood had always covers his face.


    Other than the few times where he opens his hood, most of the time, the hood shadows the upper part of his face.


    In the beginning, it is so that people would find it hard to know his intention. There were uncertainties in his power in the begging and when he spoke to people or his enemies, he fears that uncertainty, that anxiousness would show.


    He develops an expressionless face so that no people could guess what he is thinking.


    Azief in the beginning rely heavily on his luck, his bravery and a risk-it-all attitude.


    Because the risk pays off. He is not this scheming and brilliant strategist.


    Of course the current him is quite adept at all of this.


    But when the Fall first began, he is as uncertain and as scared as others.


    The only difference is…he is very good hiding his feelings and his emotions.


    He fears that people would see his weakness if they look at his eyes.


    But as he grows stronger, the hood serves as a symbol for him


    Like some hooded god, covering his intention, looking sharply in the darkness.


    His official always afraid to look him in the eyes. It is not because all of them did something wrong.


    It is simply because of his reputation.


    And even if there is a hood that cover a lot of his face, it is very easy to know if he is angry.


    In the off chance he is angry, his eye glows beneath the hood, increasing the fear people felt for him


    It is like some kind of predator eyes, looking at them like they were food for breakfast. As such, Azief don’t think much would change even if he is no longer wearing hood.


    Fear is an effective method. But, it is not always effective. It is a mistake to think that people would all cow before fear.


    Azief had seen many people that when fear is used against them, it backfires. Some people just are not afraid of death


    Some even might long for death


    Those who said fear is the only method, clearly had not seen so many things


    Azief had understand this.


    So, he does not need the hood to maintain some kind of an invisible fear that connected him and his officials.


    And the most important reason of all, is that he no longer need the hood.


    At least, like some psychological wall, he had break it when he created this new attire.


    The image did not onlye from his imagination and his desire, it alsoes from his subconscious and in the subconscious, probably a bit of his soul imbued in it, manifested in the reality in the form of this new attire.


    This attire seems to encapste what made the Shadow Lord attire so terrifying to some people yet at the same time with certain colors, Azief look like some kind of an Immortal Monarch.


    The blue lines seem to give one peace and calm and some kind of majesty while the golden felt holy and divine.


    The design Azief had in his mind is merely a few changes here and there, with the base design looking exactly like the Shadow Lord attire, yet when he showers down the energy to reconstruct for him a cloth, an attire to wear, this masterpiece is the one that appears.


    This rtes heavily to Azief own psyche.


    Imagination is after all born from the psyche.


    And just because people can now see his face did not mean people would suddenly lose the fear and awe they have on him


    It is not the hood that made him terrifying.


    Even if one could look up to him and stare at his eyes if they raise their heads, how many people in this world that dare do such a thing toward him.


    Even now, his eyes seem to shoot ofrge amount of pressure.


    ‘If I added a cape behind my back, I would look like a superhero’ he said to himself.


    He looks at himself and he is quite satisfied.


    Then he closes his eyes and after making sure that the energy in his body is bnced he slowly separate his palm together and put them on his thigh.


    ‘It is a pity but I am quite lucky’ he thought to himself. He contemted on his failure.


    After hours ago, he was still near the ck hole.


    When he cut off the Shadow Lord will, he slowly condensed his Law Avatar into the spinning orb that was about to condense him a new soul.


    From six, he condensed nine. If this was any other person, nine would probably be the maximum.


    A soul would have been created then


    And Azief could stop there.


    That is the orthodox way. But, if he did that, it basically means that he is giving up on the Perfection Path.


    To give that up at this current time would create such a bacsh that it would portably demote him straight to Seed Formation if he is not careful.


    The stronger he became by walking the Perfection Path, the worse the bacsh would be


    If he had abandoned the Perfection path when he was still an Energy Disperse Stage leveler, the bacsh would not be so severe.


    But precisely because he had walk the Perfection Pat to the current level, that if he given up right then and there, there is a possibility that the bacsh would probably demoted him straight to Seed Formation or worse.


    As such, Azief had no choice but to continue condensing his Law Avatar.


    From nine to ten.


    Each condensing of the Law Avatar into the orb that is about to be his soul, created cosmic phenomenon.


    The moment he tries to condense the tenth Law Avatar, the rate at which he absorbs the ck hole energy created a vortex around him, copsing the very Laws and Concepts around him


    Like some kind of Void appear in the space around him, his body seems to be more like a ck hole than the ck hole itself


    In that moment, he could feel all kinds of energy that has been absorbed by that ck hole. And when he said everything, he meant everything.


    There is even arge reserve of immortal energy in the ck hole.


    And that is not the only foreign energy that has never been found in this Milky Way gxy that he had managed to detect and senses when he absorbs the energy in the ck hole.


    There is even a trace of the remnants of some kind of Divine Armaments.


    Azief then thought of the Celestial War that is rumored to happen in the Milky Way gxy five thousand years ago.


    Probably that is why there is so many foreign energies contained in the ck hole.


    At first, he thought this would be easy because the energy is probably enough for him to condense all thirteen of the Law Avatar.


    When he reaches the eleven Law Avatar, more energy was absorbed and at a faster rate than ever before, like his body suddenly turns into some kind of starving devouring monster.


    Thergest ck hole that could contain all the heliosphere is now the size of only the Sun. And it was quickly shrinking to a size of Earth


    One could only image how much of energy that is siphoned off toward Azief body.


    The area around him had already disintegrated, and there is void tears all around him. Like he was scratching apart the very fabric of reality around him


    There is nothing in the area around him as the energy that is bombarding him grew more intense.


    One who could enter the Void would go to nowhere.


    And that void tearing berger andrger as Azief body absorbs more and more.


    It was like Azief himself is bing the ck hole and space around him seems to bend and time seems to stop
