Lord Shadow

Artificial intelligence that had the creator having to mediate between the creators and the created, this kind of problem in the always have the possibility of breaking off.

Most of the time, this matter always ended in a war that either finished off the race that created it or the race that created it able to destroy the AI that they themselves created

And taking the lesson from all of this, the artificial intelligence that is allowed on earth is put on a limiter.

And there is many regulations for AI so that a true intelligence could not be born before any ships or any technology could be outfitted with AI

This is enforced by all the world powers. Because if the problem broke out, then it would create another chaotic period.

Even an intergalactic empire is nearly brought down by this war between them and the AI.

And at that time, the AI is just gaining sentience.

If it was allowed to fester all over the entire intergalactic network, one could only wonder the kind of danger it could have brought

"All of this is hypotheticals" Azief reminded himself

Azief only shakes his head and he passes through these walls simply by walking through it. These walls have a magical barrier that prevents any people from phasing through it.

But the way Azief is phasing is different from any method of phasing.

Right now, in the world, there is no yet any magic that is capable of stopping an Essence Creation realm being. This is because Azief is the only one that is in this realm

And it is not like he would create method to deal with himself.

Even if he had the inclination, he did not have time to develop method targeting the beings on his realm

"not to mention that would not be an easy thing to do" Azief had many specialties and he had many talents

The rules and laws he mastered is most than many other people. Coupled with all of the luck and fortune of the world always coming to him, even if his talent is not one in a million, he could be adept at something if he pursue it.

But formations and hexes....this kind of things just does not interest him. And Etherna magic....the one thing he is more adept at....are very direct.

In other words, he is not interested.

Give him time, he might be able to create some kind of warding able to stop someone of his own realm that could be used by lower realm leveler.

But time is the one thing he does not have.

Azief passes the walls and he could see ethe defences but he did not look at it in detail. He walks through all of these walls and then he reached the palace walls.

The battle all over the capital is tense. But the capital is large and wide.

The palace itself is large and wide and could fit a few cities in it. And there is villages and cities inside the capital region

In front of the palace no bomb is being hurled and no fighting. Even in the skies, the Battlestar did not target the palace.

They did not even dare to hover above it.

In a way, it is simply because these soldiers still know whose soldier they are.

Yes, they are under the rule of the Three Great Generals and the commanders and the generals of military.

And they are paid by the military.

But the military is paid by the central government. But the central government ability to order the military effectively come from the fact that they convey the will of Death Monarch.

This was the reason why the rebellion happens.

The military does not believe that the central government has the best interest of the military.

If it was Death Monarch ordering them to put down their weapon and surrender their military tally, then none of them would disobey.

They might begrudgingly complain but they would never disobey.

Wang Jian, Freya, Athena, these three whether they were trusted by Death Monarch or not does not matter.

their power and authority derived itself from the authority Death Monarch give them

Azief one decree could strip them. But Sasha stripping them of power? The central government?

Now, that is not something that these military people would accept

To them this measure by the central government...as Wang Jian so eloquently put it....an overreach of power.

Wang Jian has long distrusted Sasha. This suspicion and this distrust did not just come out of nowhere.

Before, there was that conflict between the central government and the military but at that time, Azief returns and took back the helm and these two shelve tehri differences and do their job

Azief only sighs

"Humans have desires, have wants, and see different things. Sitting on different place, sitting on different height, with different people and different sights, it could not be helped one thinks differently. If this was a simple conflict, a compromise could be achieved. But this is the thing about power...it blinded people."

Azief could only chuckle at this. He had seen so many of this kind of drama before.

Politics, intrigues but before, he sees it as a spectator.

Before the Fall, he speculated about politics, and he could do nothing.

Then after the Fall, he himself sat at the highest place, and he felt it different. It is the same thing but they felt differently.

But no matter how many times he sees it and look at it, he could not help but feel....the human hearts are unfathomable.

So easily confused, so easily swayed....so strong, so determined, full of contradiction, rights and wrongs are hard to discern, duty and desires, ideal and realities clashing .....and you see people true nature.

Sometimes, it is not only true nature that is revealed.

Sometimes people nature changed under the circumstances.

Some held fast to their belief and faith, and some are swayed, and some changed.

And new nature formed. Humans....are mortal after all. Their fickleness is their hideous nature...yet at the same time, in some cases, it is their greatest strength

Sometimes those who did not want to change is in the wrong and sometimes those who change committed wrongs.

Azief look at the sky again and he smiles

"Wang Jian.....you really did not dare?" Azief smiles

"I always wondered...were you really loyal? Or are you just practical?"

Azief knows that he would never ask this question to Wang Jian

Because there was no need

He just ask himself.

Because this decision of trust has always been levied on him

It did not matter if Wang Jian distrusted him. It matters however if he did not trust Wang Jian.

If he told Wang Jian these things in his heart, Wang Jian would forever looking at his attitude before doing something

And the more it is like this, the harder for him to discern the truth. So, Azief never told anyone this thoughts.

He himself rarely thought about it. But now that there is a civil war, these thoughts that he had always suppressed could not help but rises up again

Or maybe because he is so close to the end, some things that he had ignored before had to be brought to the forefront.

"I never distrusted you. Not because I trust you completely. It is because you were never a threat. And I knew the reputation of a loyal person is not just some empty reputation. It is a shackle. It is the very same shackle that nearly got you killed. But I wonder, was that shackle imposed on you....or did you impose that shackle on yourself?"

Wang Jian is a simple person.

An idiot even.

But that was before the Fall

The Fall change his life. And as he become stronger, he become smarter.

Just like Azief and all of his friends had changed, how could Wang Jian not changed? Power, influence....all of them have different ways of changing people

Some people did not change with power.

Sometimes this are not good thing.

People who have steadfast intention, the power on their hands become a tool. And depending on the heart, it become a tool for good or evil

Azief had seen many events and seen many people and knew power changes many things.

And people in power always believe that there is no relative good and evil.

Funnily enough, those who says these words, are usually powerful people doing evil things.

But if evil is really the order of the world, then why hide it?

Because evil people always knows that they are doing evil things.

And they dare not show it.

Because they know all the people in the world still have some light in their hearts and recognize good and evil.

And this light knows what is evil and what is not.

They know it instinctively.

And the spit of the people of the world could drown them.

So, like rats they hide in the dark and they feasted on the poor, the pitiful, the weak away from the sunlight while justifying themselves using philosophical arguments

The more arguments, the more confused the people become. However, the soul knows.

Like a built-in feature in the hearts and minds of every living beings. Almost all have it.

And they instinctively knows that it is wrong.

Evil people will always try to normalize evil things.

Certain thing become evil because of society, and certain things become good also because of society.

Sometimes, this changes between the definition of evil and good happens because of the passing of time and circumstances.
