Lord Shadow

Chapter 1103: Death monarch returns (2)



And with the population of Earth right now around only a few billions, such scarcity of land is unthinkable. If this is the world before the Fall, the prices of real estate would drop to the bottom because everybody could have land if they wanted to

Like cabbage that is sold on the side of the street

A few dozen kilometers from the Centre Palace, a city had been completed. 

In the past, when a city had been established or completed by a Mayor some officials would come to officiate the opening. 

But right now, the entire court is busy with all kinds of works that the Mayor of the City, the same mayor that created one of the city on the northern part of Pandemonium in the past officiate it himself.

Since it had been completed two days ago, the relocated people and citizens of Pandemonium had been ne given land and some of them have even opens up their business

Building houses is one of the easiest thing to do in the world after the fall. 

As long as you have the resources a Builder or an Architect would cooperate with each other to build it

They did not even to do much.

One just have to provide the material and the Builder would use their Build ability and the Architect could use their blueprint function to overlaid the design of the house to the Build function of the Builder and poof, a house is finished

This is the reason why building an entire city in a few hours is easy and fast. As long as one has the resources, it is as simple as that. 

As for the droids and the nanobots, they were tasked to create skyscrapers and clearing the area. 

After all, Builders while a popular profession, every Builders have different proficiency and abilities. 

Some Builders could also have some skills of the Architect and able to design. 

Some just knew how to build but not design but sometimes these kinds of builders could create more sturdy houses or buildings.

As for government building, the government has their own department that is responsible for building it

After all, this is government building. It need protection and secrecy. 

There are all kinds of secret passage in the case of emergency attack, runes and arrays formation that needs to be laid out and not be seen by unrelated people.

As for the city that is now had been partially finished, it is a new city called Adern. 

This is the closest city to the Centre Palace right now. The roads are wide and it is not congested at all. It is like Pandemonium had a blank slate to create a new city

And since it is a blank slate, and more places to use, the designer of the city make sure not to repeat the mistake of the past and create not only a large city but also a beautiful one.

It is a planned city unlike before where it is simply congregation of people that created the city

As it would be filled with people later on, it is better to plan ahead. People would find security if they could live closer to the center of power of Pandemonium. This did not only apply to pandemonium

Most of the citizen of the world power would only feel safe when they live near the important cities of their world power.

Because this is the area that is mostly protected by the world powers. 

The roads are beautiful and each building had a lot of space in between. The architect of the city, Peter Mayer built it while thinking of a long term vision.

To create a successful city, such vision is needed. 

The land where he built this new city is a land that is suitable for laying down roads. 

And in this new world, where everyone has ability, any terrain could be shaped if they have enough power

Even if the area is not suitable for laying down roads, with a few Elementalist that could work together, they could easily have transformed the terrain into the one they wanted.

If this was before the Fall, such method does exist. But it requires a lot of money and it is not cost effective. 

But, now in this world after the Fall, even to transform a large amount of area, if one has a powerful Elementals or Druids or anyone that have the ability to change the terrains of the world, one person is enough to change such a large terrain. 

And it is not like that they are not compensated.

The architect also believes that with the technology that is now existent, he had reserve some spaces so that it could later be incorporated into the city design

Peter wanted to make Adern the largest and most beautiful city in Pandemonium.

Most of the world power had a city to represent them. Island of Peace for example is one of the most beautiful island in the world

People sometimes forgot but the Island of Peace is not the only floating island in the world. There were some other faction and organizations in the word that also have such floating island as their headquarters.

But when one spoke of floating island in the sky, most people would instinctively think of Island of Peace

And because of such strong association with the World Government, most of these small organization choose to decommissioned their floating island.

Nobody wanted to be accused of trying to outperformed the World Government and there are even some of those organization that decommissioned their floating island because they did not want to be accused of trying to imitate the World Government

So, today, there is only one floating island of any consequence and that is the Island of Peace

Whosoever set foot on the island would without a doubt praise the beauty of the Island. 

With well-crafted roads like a piece of artwork, colorful plant along the side of the road, waterfall with rainbows around them falling down from the side of the floating island to the self sufficient water system that would bring back the water to the waterfall, and the clouds that covers some parts of the island, making it look like some kind of celestial floating islands it is no wonder people wanted to live there.

It combines futuristic looking building and houses while at the same time also having some fantasy-esque buildings. 

It is like it is an island that is far away from the reach of mortals.

Most of the high echelon members of the World Government stays in the Island of Peace. 

Of course, congregating all of important people of the World Government into one place is not exactly a good idea, so not all of the high echelon member of the world government is on the island

But most of them are. 

It wasn’t until the second battle between the World Government and Death Monarch that Hirate had made a law restricting the registration of government officials for living in the Island.

Most of the people of the Island is also the original refugees that flocked toward the banner of the World Government

That is the jewel city of the World Government, the Island of Peace.

The Republic had Moscow. With the weather system up and running, even Moscow could have spring weather even in winter

There is also the fact that Moscow had been modified when the Republic took over Europe. There is of course, the old buildings that made Moscow, Moscow. 

But there is also new buildings, like the Senate and the surrounding residence around the city. The city itself is protected by layers upon layers of protection magic. 

This is the reason not so many people have died. 

Tens of thousands of people is still a lot of casualties but the fact that an invasion of otherworldly forces like demons from another dimension and humans from some Otherworlds trying to grab the resources of Earth, a world breaking war that is fought in the sky and in the ground, resembling like some kind of  a scene of end of the world scene but to only have casualties in the tens of thousands, such low numbers of casualties could be attributed to the fact that most large cities in the world power have protection formation. 

Some of them lose their effectiveness as the world expands but each city has their own protection formation. 

Not all uses the Earth Vein energy. 

Some of them uses ritual magic.

Other uses power source that could easily be moved. 

In other words, because of the city having protection formation, there were some cities that is unbreakable by these outside forces during the Multiversal Convergence. 

And Moscow, other than Pandemonium is the other least affected cities during the Multiversal Convergence. 

One of the most beautiful city in Europe right now is none other than Moscow

Then there is the other world power that also have their own significant cities that they are associated with

It is only Pandemonium that did not have such a city. 

Adern would be that city.
