Yang Dao was displaying the emotions Orion was going through at this mont. The old minister still had a great control over himself. Soone else in his place would have broken down. The man was also very loyal to his mate, the forr queen. Unlike so of his predecessors.
The child of chronicles yelled at the masses with endless anger contained in his eyes. The people were scared. While so people realised that their assumption of the queen being a goddess was bad and similarly there were so stubborn lumps, who thought that the the child of chronicles was uttering total bull shit.
Yang Dao sensed this and said in a deep voice, "If you need proof then I shall prove it to you."
Just as his voice dropped, he waved his hand and the whole world lost it's color. The people were stunned. They saw the world becoming a sketch of black and white lines. While so were clear so were blurred with the hue of white and black.
Yang Dao said, "Look at your queen. Do you see that she is made of the sa lines as you are?"
The people looked at Glow, who sat on her chair above the pedestal. They did not find any difference in her sketch. It was similar to them, black lines drawing a shape in the white void.
Suddenly a person among the flock of sketches spoke up, "The Child or chronicles still have his original colors, and, when did that tiger appeared on the pedestal."
The people all saw Yang Dao standing in his original colors. Those who believed in him found their belief restored, however, when was it so easy?
A harsh shout sounded from the crowd, "Blasphemy! This is all illusion. How can the world loss color but he cannot?"
The owner of the voice was a blurry character. Yang Dao smiled and said, "Can your goddess break this illusion?"
Laohu Bai, who was in her tigeress form, thought to herself, 'Dao, did not comprehend the laws of light but he used the light to comprehend the dark?'
If not for scaring the people, she would have yelled out loud. Her heart was a stormy sea at this mont. She never thought such a thing would happen.
This boy was really different from his predecessors, they have never used the counter forces. What Yang Dao showed earlier was a neutral state of his, he was only revealing the laws of darkness right now, by standing against the followers of light and his aim was to counter balance it all.
The blurry man caught a hint of provocation in the question. He yelled, "How dare you, outlander, question our goddess? She can break your illusion at a whim. You are just a clown jumping on a beam in front of our goddess."
Yang Dao tilted his head and started chuckling. The chuckle later turned into a laughter. This sort of arrogant laughter has never been a part of his nature or habits. He lifted his head to the skies as he laughed.
HAHAHAHAHA...
As he laughed, Laohu Bai beca worried, if Yang Dao himself entered the state of imbalance in his effort to counter these people, it would be even more devastating.
...
Ryu Jinshi was in the gym when he sensed Yang Dao comprehending the laws of the dark. He put the barbell back on the rack and set up on the bench. He mumbled, "Dao is walking on the edge."
...
Suddenly the laughter stopped and Yang Dao spoke calmly, "So, why has she not broken my illusion till now. What is she waiting for?"
The blurry shadow was stunned, but the imbalance can not be countered so easily. So the figure said, "Your majesty, please, break this illusion."
Hearing this, the other stereotypical people also jumped in. They all, started to plea Glow, to break this illusion. Yang Dao said, "Your majesty, please break it."
Glow stood up from her seat. While so people were happy, so people were skeptical about it. The lady said, "I apologize, but I do not have such prowess. The child of chronicles is correct. I am a human. A human, who will bleed if cut, cry if hurt. I am a human like you all, born from the dust to beco dust."
Yang Dao glanced back at the people who begging the queen just now and asked, "Still not believe it? Very well, you all are much wiser than the rest, right? Now I ask you, why would the goddess change and let her offspring ascend the throne? Why would she, an immortal goddess cannot rule over the kingdom for centuries or millennium? If a goddess is not even immortal, what is the use of being a goddess at all?
The people could not provide a counter after this. Co on, still not accepting the facts will just make them swallowed by those who believed in Yang Dao.
Even if they were imbalanced they were all facing a lot of people who had restored their beliefs and started to seek a new balance. Yang Dao' idea was not against them but they did not think it was in line with their ideology as well.
The crowd fell silence and Yang Dao said, "Your queen, Glow, happens to be one of those people who were luckily alloted to their own parents. Minister Orion, paid with his blood, sweat and countless tears to make a better kingdom for you, what did he ever recieve? Sacrifice of his family? Sacrifice of the person he loved more than himself? Do you know what it is like to be close to the one you love yet never be able to have any acknowledgent?
You do not. Because what is important for you is to glorify this human being you address as your queen and then pray to her like she is a god.
Sha on you, sha on you for depriving soone of their humanity, their love, their happiness. You think I will be able to stop a war that you started out of your own ignorance. You are fools and so were your and mine predecessors. Look up, the sky is filled with twinkling stars in the dark sky. Are you standing here trying to say that you are better than the entrie universe?
You all are more dark than darkness, after all, in face of light the dark disappears yet your stereotypical ideas and traditions do not adapt with tis. Fools to believe that one person with a title can be the master of your destinies. Humph."
The entire speech was done in one breath, practically. The people were silent. It was as if no one was present in the square. They were all contemplating, whether they were all correct or not. On the other side, Yang Dao sat down on the pedestal to ditate and calm his mind. He was aware that he was losing control of himself to the darkness, that he comprehended.
Darkness representative the negative thoughts of people, such as arrogance, greed, disdain, sha, and rage. At this mont Yang Dao was going through allt his and he wanted to control himself before he was completely overwheld with the laws of darkness.
After a long silence, one of the normal sketches said, "Lord, I apologize for my folies. I apologize for not being able to adapt and see the flaws in my thinking."
This person was none other than the one who accused Yang Dao of casting an illusion. The mont his ideas began to move towards the balance, the vision started to restore to normal. It was not only him but all the masses. These people all, despite being normal, had never seeked balance.
Now that their balance was restored, they were all finally able to look at the world as it was. Yang Dao had beco a mirror. His words had brought back the people.
At this mont, Laohu Bai looked around and she glared at Orion, the old minister was struggling. He was struggling to restore his balance. However, he was unable to do so. He rembered that the old queen wished for the people to eradicate the darkness.
Yang Dao opened his eyes and said, "Minister Orion, do you think that your wife, the old queen was a person, who would wish for the slaughter of unard civilians? Would she wish for the death on infants? Tell was she a person who wanted to restore the balance to the world to destroy it by painting it in one color?"
After hearing this, the old man knelt on the ground. Following him the whole populace under the pedestal knelt. They all were showing their grievance and penance to him by doing this.
Yang Dao was about to wave his hand and make them stand up when Laohu Bai spoke in his mind, "Let them learn. They respect you, not for your title but your deed. This is what you have earned. A human's deeds can make him a god, Dao. You have beco their mirror, let them rember this."
