It is not like the Republic and the World Government could not oust Death Monarch from his seat but there are too many connections involved between them.

Truth be told if the World Government and the Republic truly united, they could truly force Death Monarch to retreat and even capture him and if they truly put their mind to it even killed him

But by a twist of fate or maybe just because of the desire for men and women to have power, the Republic and the World government have divided the strongest powerhouses in the world between them.

The other that is their enemies went to other factions and organization.

And those that do not want to enter the power struggle after the vacuum of power that exist following the Fall recluse themselves on secluded area of the world.

And they have zero trust with each other. In that chaos, Death Monarch rise from its fire. Chaos is a ladder.

Azief saw that, and fucking fly over the ladder and sat on the very top

not to mention the many relations between two of the most powerful organization in the world has with Death Monarch.

The Republic High Chancellor is Katarina the Ice Queen and the strongest woman in the world. And everyone knows she is smitten with Death Monarch

How about the World government? What connection that exist with Death Monarch?

There is news that Raymond like Sofia the Divine Archer. During the absence of Death Monarch, it is that affection that prevented Raymond from truly taking action on the remnants of Death Monarch powers.

One could call it a blessing in hindsight.

After all, if Raymond truly did such thing when Death Monarch comes out from the Mountain of Everlasting Love then Raymond would surely become enemies with Death Monarch.

There is also the fact that Oreki have helped the Death Monarch many times before and Hikigaya owed Death Monarch for showing his path.

Of course Hikigaya and Death Monarch is even now but one could see from this many events and matters that the relationship between the two organization and Death Monarch is not as simple as one would believe.

It is because of that fact that Death Monarch reign supreme right now in the world. Unless the World Government and the Republic really don't mind a full falling out with him, they would at least show him respect and will never directly contradicted his suggestion in front of the world.

After all Pandemonium itself is no longer as it is before. Now, it is a land of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

Death Monarch desires for the Republic and the World Government to jointly support the article and abide by it and allowing four new power to rise is not only a display of his power and prestige but also a test for both the Republic and the World Government

It is not easy but it is also understandable.

The article is not exactly polished in words and in application but Hirate guessed that is why Death Monarch send it to the Republic and the World Government.


He let them handle the details but the core of the Article is dictated by Death Monarch. And the Article itself does not seems to discriminate against the World Government.

Hirate knew this is in part because of Raymond.

Death Monarch owe him and while he did not pay his debt with this it is true that he did not make it hard for the World Government.

The Three Great Powers for now is in a state of cooperation.

Hirate still remembers what Azief said when he was on Pandemonium.

He desires to split the world in seven part and foster peaceful relationship since the world need a reprieve from any large scale battle or war

They need peace to grow and thrive now. It is not too good to only suffer hardship without any happiness in sight.

It is only after reading the article that he now understands why he wanted to split it into seven parts.

There is a lot of things mention in the Article.

One of them is the rules of engagement of war, the distribution of the territory, the seven factions that is to rule those lands and the exception clause for the seven powers and the restriction against them if they were to breached or violates certain rules that is inscribed and written in the Article.

Everything seems to be considered but there is also loopholes that is present in the Article. Hirate suspected this loopholes were left there by Death Monarch because it allows itself to be interpreted like that.

Probably because he knows that this distribution will also have to place some other factions who was already in other places to stay in their assigned territory.

Of course, the article need to be signed first for it to take effect. Other than the World government which have many territory and the terms in the Article is a little disadvantageous for them, the terms and conditions in the Article would surely please the other four powers.

Death Monarch also send news that he would send an Emissary to act on his behalf and will be arriving in Island of Peace.

It is clear from this that Death Monarch is wanting to leave the world. Where he goes Hirate doesn't know but he had at least an inkling.

After all, he has a trove of information residing in his Island right now.

Hirate finished reading the Article, putting it down and he looked at Raymond.

'What are you thinking?' Hirate noticed that Raymond is looking like he is dozing off.

It is a weird habit of his but Hirate who spends enough time with him knows that Raymond is not relay dozing off.

He is surely thinking of something.

To the girls however, his blank look looks like he is brooding. To men however, it looks like he is dozing off.

And to think that the Supreme Commander would be a timid young man would be hard to believe.

The Fall changed a lot of people. It changed Hirate and it changed Raymond. Like it changed so many others.

Raymond shakes his head and just said

'Nothing'Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

'There is something on your mind'

Raymond sighed and said

'It is nothing important' He snapped off his doze off look and then look at him back and ask

'The Article. Did he do anything weird with it? Anything that is targeted toward us?' He waits for Hirate answer. Hirate thinks for a while as he sighed.

Hirate shakes his head

'No. But it is nothing advantageous either' Raymond just nodded hearing Hirate answer. It seems Death Monarch is not as heartless as the rumor make him out to be.

'Then that is good'

'Hmm' Hirate said as he put two of his finger on his temple.

'The politics of the world will become even more complicated. It was an already ideal situation with the Three Powers ruling over the world. If Death Monarch agreed at that time, our three organization could rule the world.'

Raymond only smiles bitterly.

The question he did not ask Hirate if such thing was enacted how many more people that would be dead to fight for more power and influence?

The whole world will someday have wanted to be ruled by something else. That is just being humans. They have ambitions and they have their own Will.

How many more would die a senseless death just to keep power.

And all along the Three Great Powers had to kill and wash the world with blood which would only weaken and decrease the already declining population of humanity.

The World is a large place and one have to learn how to share.

Raymond shakes his head and with a sigh he said

'It is not a sustainable plan for long term. You should know that. As long as people have ambition and could attain power and influence, The Three Great Powers will surely face resistance. Death Monarch has never cared about power but ironically he is the one with the most power'

'That is not someone who detest power' Hirate shot back.

His public stance has always been that he has apologized to Death Monarch but just because he apologized doesn't mean he have to like it.

It still hurts his pride every time he thinks about it. Detest power? More like he doesn't care about it because he already possesses so much power that he doesn't know what to do with it.

Raymond just replied with

'Well, at least he does not want this kind of superficial power. At most he sees having the kind of power and influence he had is nothing more than just an assist unit. It is good that he has it but even if he does not have it would only be a slight inconvenience for him'

Raymond then think back to that talk they had in the Fake World about freedom and desire, about the world and the welfare of the people living in it

Freedom or safety. The hardest thing is to balance the two.
