Chapter 1376: [Bonus chapter]The Throne of the Trickster

Everyone was silent for a second because they do not understand what Amaterasu is trying to say.          

    

How could it be different from their Divine Weapons.     

They also found weapons and artifacts like that in some places and temples or rewards after killing some powerful monsters.     

The most famous case of such a thing is Athena, one of the Great Generals of Pandemonium who have the Sword of Ares.      

So, they did not understand what Amaterasu is trying to convey.     

But then Mister Moscow widen his eyes and mutters to himself     

'Couldn't be? The real Poseidon? In Olympus?'     

Amaterasu nodded and then he smiles     

'I'm impressed. It seems you also knows about it?'     

Mister Moscow nodded      

'We have also seen a few other civilizations like that' Amaterasu smiles and did not say anything more.      

But the others could not understand.      

So, Mister Moscow began telling them and explaining to them about Olympus and Asgard and that some stories of myths is not entirely just stories.     

There, up in the sky, above the clouds, and beyond the Heavens, these myths are very much alive and very much dangerous     

Amaterasu was impressed.     

'It seems you know some stuff' Amaterasu was already surprised that Mister Moscow knows about Olympus but he also knows about Asgard, Jade Empire and many other intergalactic forces.      

The reason why Yomi knows is because they have people in the World Government.      

The other world powers also invest heavily in matters of the Multiverse but the World Government have the World Gate where they travel into other worlds, parallel world, different dimension and other universes.      

It is because they have people in the World Government that they have the knowledge of many things involving the Multiverse.      

But, the Bratva is different. So, his eyes narrowed      

Mister Moscow nodded and said     

'The Bratva did stumble into this matter and there is also the help of the Broker so we got to find out a few secrets about the Universe'     

Clearly Mister Moscow did not want to elaborate and Amaterasu did not insist     

By now everyone in the room had understood what weapon that Amaterasu is talking about. A real Divine Weapon from a real powerhouse in the Universe.      

'How is it now? are you all tempted?'      

There is still many question in the minds of these people but they are quite sure even though Death Monarch is powerful, he is not yet at the level of those bigshot in the Universe.         

    

Of course the things that Mister Moscow told them is a bit hard to believe but they have lived in a world of magic about a decade now. What things that they have not seen and what thing is not possible in this new era.     

So, even though it was hard for them to fathom that there is Olympus and Asgard and many others like it in the vast Universe, they quickly accepted it     

Once again all four of them goes out the room. This time to probably tell their leaders what it is all about.      

Before, the matter is about Loki joining the Red Table. Now, the matter shifts to the matter of a Divine Weapon     

Only Mister Moscow is left in the room with Amaterasu     

Amaterasu looks at him and said     

'You don't have to go out an inform the other high ranking members of the Bratva?' Amaterasu asked.     

Mister Moscow shook his head     

'Hmm…that's interesting. Why?'     

'The Bratva wants revenge. From the moment you said you have a weapon that could restrains and surpass Death Monarch, the higher ups already told me to cooperate.'     

Amaterasu smiles and then said     

'You don't mind giving a seat on the Red Table to a rookie. I think the Bratva also could not trust Loki'     

Hmph' Mister Moscow scoffed.     

'Tell me, could you trust someone who you know lie as easy as breathing.      

'Then, why?     

'A test.'     

A test?'     

"The Red Table is still rule by the five factions'      

'And the Bratva want to see what Loki would do with the seat. We wanted to see whether he is really have turned to us, or merely a wolf in sheep clothing, pretending to be the pig when he is the tiger. Pandemonium is not above in using espionage. The fact that Death Monarch still protects Loki is something that make us uncomfortable'     

Amaterasu nodded.     

There was another silence between them before Mister Moscow asked Amaterasu     

'How about Yomi? Izanagi and Izanami just trust him'     

Amaterasu smiles and simply said     

'I don't know what they were thinking but I think that they have the same ideas as you do. Loki intention is still something that we are very curious about'     

They look at each other smiles and then cut of the connection and waited. This time, the wait is not long. Around five minutes, the other three enters the room and sat down         

    

Amaterasu then said     

'I think, I will cut through the unnecessary chattering and go straight to voting. Is there any objection?' Amaterasu waited for five seconds and no one objected which means everyone consented.      

  'All in favor of giving Loki a seat on the Red Table is exchange for the Trident of Poseidon?'     

'Aye!' all five people raised their voice     

Amaterasu smiles and nodded.     

'So, it will be'     

'How do we start?' Falco asked     

Mister Moscow then said     

'Loki the Trickster is known to be hard to find. He is unlike the Broker. At least the Broker still maintain contact with us. But Loki...he just come and go when he pleases.'     

He pauses for a second before saying     

'I hated that about him'     

Amaterasu laughed and then he waves his hand. The room suddenly seems to distort.     

The other four was curious.      

'You're changing the room?' Diablo ask. Every member of the five factions all have the ability to change the room layout      

It is one of the special function of this room.     

But everyone was perplexed why Amaterasu suddenly wanted to change the layout.     

A sound attracts their attention. They saw another door appears on the other side of the room.      

Falco and Mister Moscow look at each other and they seem to have thought of a certain possibility     

  Then they look at Amaterasu, his face mask is smiling     

At the same time, the Red Table expanded. It did not interfere with their space as their chair adjusted to the new measurement of the table.     

Then a new chair rose from the ground. And everyone in the room understood.      

They look at the new chair     

It is a green dark chair, almost looking like a jade throne. There are stones snakes on the thrones slithering on its edges and there is a sculpture of ravens on both sides of the ear of the chair     

It is better to call it a throne than a simple chair. It is like the throne of the other five people in the room     

The throne itself is a symbol of power and influence in the Crime Alliance.          

    

They might not have kings like the World Government but it is only because they are a king without a crown     

In an intent and purposes, the five factions in the Crime Alliance is like the royalty of the criminal underworld     

The throne itself is very intimidating, spewing green gases from its bottom. It is like a special effect     

There is the snakes sculpture on the front leg of the throne. It is so lifelike that it almost seems like a real snake. On the ear of the throne, there is two raven sculpture decorating it.      

And there are runes all over the throne.      

There are of course many other empty space that could still be filled up. This throne is none other than a throne for Loki     

Mister Moscow was shocked but then his eyes narrowed.     

'He's here?'     

Amaterasu nodded.     

'Hmph' Falco snorted.     

'It seems he have predicted that we would allow him to sit on the table. I hate that presumptuous nature of him' Amaterasu only chuckles at this.      

Mister Moscow could understand the feeling of Falco. There are not many people in this room that likes Loki     

They all have some entanglements with him in the past, and one could not say that the entanglement is pleasant     

The other was also particularly displeased. But before they could say anything, the door on the side of the room opens and someone stepped out from the door     

The sound of his footsteps echoes all over the room.      

There is a tall young man who looks intimidating yet elegant at the same time.      

A tailored high-end three –piece suit, a maroon tie, a fedora, a leather shoes that look a lot like an Italian and rose color glasses.     

Everyone could tell that this is Loki.      

Loki the Trickster has come. And he comes with that usual swagger of him.     

He looks at all the five people in the room as he strides to his throne. He then sat down, and then smiling he said     

'Ah, you are all here. It's good to see you all in good health' And he laughed a bit     

'Trickster' Falco said, his tone hostile.      

The other three other than Amaterasu also is not that joyful that Loki is here.      

He looks around and then said     

'Why the hostile faces?' Mister Moscow said         

    

'Don't you remember Berlin?'     

Loki look at Mister Moscow. He tilted his head. It is really not easy to see the true identity of these people.     

All of them wear mask and he could not see their true faces. These five people might know each other with their mask off but Loki is a newcomer. So he doesn't know these people.     

He tries to see but see nothing. But it is clear that Mister Moscow is talking about something that happened in Berlin     

There were a lot of things that he meddles when he was in Berlin. It's not once or twice either.      

  So, it took him a bit of time to remember but after a while he had an idea what's it about     

'I remember that.' Loki said. But he did not explain. Mister Moscow only snorted     

'As for you, Falco was it? What's the problem?'     

'You dismantle the Guererro family. Was it really necessary to slaughter them all?'     

'Ah, the Cartel talking about pity. What a funny thought' and he laughed. The implied meaning is clear     

The Cartel is even crueler than him. And the Guererro family is not a kind family. They are involved in human trafficking, new era drugs, weapons and the usual stuff that criminal do.     

If they met Death Monarch and not Loki, then their ending might even be more tragic.      

Loki then raise his hand     

'I know that some of you have bad blood with me. Well, that is in the past. I am very eager to contribute to the Crime Alliance now'     

The statement is received with snort and derisive noises but they clearly accepted Loki sitting on the seat.     

Loki smiles mischievously and the opening his arms wide, he said     

'Now, let's talk business' he smiles and then clicking his finger, a parchment appears floating in the air.     

The parchment gently floated down on the table and unfurled.     

On the map, there is an X mark on a spot. It is on a nameless island.      

Loki smiles, pointed at the X mark and then said     

'I present to you, the Trident of Poseidon' and his smile become wider.
