Chapter 1753: The Power of the Veil

?

Azief could see that even through all of these wrong choices, there is always chances, people. Events.

All of these chances, people and all of these events is like a question in a test.

Each one is a chance to turn back.

And each time, she still chooses the wrong answer.

In the past when he is here, he postulate the trajectory of the future.

Because at that time, he wanted to enhance his comprehension toward the laws of fate and destiny

But not today. This is a pitstop. It is easy to be lost seeing the past, present and future of these people.

It is no wonder so many Oracles goes crazy.

But Azief mind is very clear.

It is really hard to explain his ability to divide his emotion.

As the years passes by, he is even more adept in dividing his emotion

At times, even when shocking things happens, he could be shocked yet his face would still be able to control his shock expression

Some people shows their emotions in their face.

Raymond for example, is very clear in his like and dislike and his honesty radiated deep from his soul

Hikigaya while a hard man to shock, still shows his shock from time to time.

As for Oreki, Azief did not know much about this person but from the brief interaction with him, even though he did show his expression, Azief believe that this animated expression is because the thunder method of him is slowly influencing his emotion

Like what happen before in the meeting room when they meet with each other.

Azief studies life and death, and life and death could not escape from the five decays of life. Time is one of them.

And maybe because of that, rarely anything could touch him. Even more so, when it is story people that he didn't know.

This however did not imply that he lost his empathy.

Instead, it is more like he could divide this emotion and not feel anything for that moment so that he could focus the task at hand.

But the feeling is there.

And Azief knows he has to deal with it if he doesn't not want to go crazy later.

He touches the beads and he could feel the sensation coursing all across his body, touching

his energy like a cord being plucked from a guitar string and create a melody

Azief did not fast forward the life of this woman.

Instead, he look on.

He look at all the missed chances, the choices that she could make that could turn her life around.

Yes, in the end she lived a rich life. But it is a chaotic life.

And for a while, she would like it.

But when she dies, even though she did not feel regret, Azief wished that there is hell.

So that evil could be punished.

It is fine if heaven does not exist.

But Hell should!

He watches on this woman keep making these choices and his eyes become colder.

Anger is building up.

But he did not release it. He keep it in his heart and thinks of the best moment to release this anger

Each time there is a choice, she squandered it.

Azief had to remind himself. He sees this from an omniscient point of view. He knows the

road that she would lead. Hence, he feels that she squandered it

But she....she does not have the same kind of vision like he did.

And she did not even know that those are chances that she missed.

Azief could intervene at every moment.

To help her make the choice.

But each time he wanted to do that, he halted.

Because for the first time in his life, he understood something that he did not understood

before.

Why Loki did not create a big havoc?

Azief knows he came from the future.

However, unlike those protagonist in the stories he read, Loki was not high profile.

He did not rob people of their chances at least not in a blatant way. Though if he did, Azief certainly wouldn't know.

Because in his reality what happens is the reality. The only one who would know the

difference is probably only Loki

He knows a lot about the future but for some reason Azief always felt like Loki always hold back and sometimes even had the relaxedness like looking at a show.

Like watching a rerun of his favourite show.

And Azief understood it when he look at this woman life.

He could change one choices.

But since this choice is not hers, then in the end, the choices would still lead her to that rainy

night

The choice.....has to be made willingly by her. He could manipulee her mind to choose the right choice but could he control her, her whole life?

He could not.

He does not have the time.

Azief himself does not know where in the part of the Omniverse this woman is?

Her life is not his responsibility. Her life is her responsibility. Hence, she should live it. And the world has its own rules

So, Azief only poses question. At times, he manipulates the fate and destiny of the world to make more choices appears in that woman.

She prays that she wanted to be kind. So, he gave her a test. A chance to be kind. A chance to help. There is beggars on the street, there is people she knows that needs help, there is a mark that she could let go

This is the question he poses. And her answer disappoints him every time. Each time Azief thought she could be redeemed, she did something that make him sigh

And years, decades after Azief watches this woman from a child to teenager, to adulthood, it leads her to that rainy night.

The rain pelt the asphalt road. An auto shop close its door as this woman brought out her car

out of the auto shop.

The mechanic of the car look on as the woman drove that car out and he shakes his head

"It should stay for one more day" Azief sees this and he did not say anything. He is standing beside the mechanic when he is saying those words

He also seen what had happened.

He had seen this scene before. But at that time, it was just a brief moment. This time, he sees

it in its entirety. This mechanic does his job well.

He could tell that something is wrong with the car. So, he wanted to delay it for one more day.

To examine it more carefully.

But, he is also human.

A mortal.

And humans are prone to mistake.

He is busy.

There is many cars in his repair shop and there is more pressing car job that he needs to

handle.

The fact that he still wanted to retain the car and make sure nothing is wrong with the car is already good enough.

And if not for this woman creating chaos in the shop, he probably would find another reason

to keep the car another day in the shop

The day before, this woman, Carol make a scene and demand back her car saying that he wanted to jack up the price and that is why he wanted to hold her car for so long

He could not withstand such accusation and get a bad reputation so he had to rush the work

and sent the car out

Even at this moment, he is quite worried about what will happen.

A chain of events that leads to a death.

This is the moment. Azief think of something else and just like a spectre of death, he is now flying in parallel with

the speed of the car of that woman. The woman is driving in the street and Azief manifests

himself to appears beside her car, floating and flying just beside her.

If one could see him right now, they would surely have a heart attack.

Who would not have a heart attack after seeing such a figure suddenly appears.

He himself is wearing dark robe, looking like some kind of dark figure.

And at night, in a rainy weather, people would surely mistake him for some kind of terrifying

ghost

But no one could see him.

The vehicle in the other lane would only pass through him like he is some kind of apparition

All of this has actually happened. Azief knows this. He is just returning to that time using the

Veil

At the same time, he also knows how powerful the kind of magic that Borgan had created. Borgan is the source of all precognition abilities of the oracles, seers and Norns

In a way she is the source of power for all those powerful beings like the Three Fates and the

Asgardians Norns

The Veil could be used!

Azief only wanted to see what would happen if he left the world for a long time. Hence, he wanted to see through the veil. He keep reminding himself that.

But when he saw the bead of that child, the father and the woman who made the wrong

choice, the instinct that he had relied on is turned on again and he knows that he must do

something

And doing it he might get the answer to certain other things.

So, he is doing it right now.
