Chapter 1814: Seeking for Someone

?

"Will the Wedding still happen?" Erika ask.

"You should know better than I about that"

"I give advice to Death Monarch not to use the eye that much. It is also an advice to myself. I should stop relying on it for everything. I am already blind in one eye. I should not make both of my eyes blind"

Loki look at the distance and sighed

"His magic grows by the day and he has more abilities than before. His sensing power has also risen, his Divine Sense could kill people and now Etherna magic that is as ancients as primordial magic is also being used by him. Things....already goes out of hand"

"You're panicking?" Erika ask with a slight teasing but Loki then smiles

"I am frustrated, yes. But panicked? No"

He chuckles a bit like he found something funny

No, there is something funny about all of this

"You don't know what I have prepared before coming back to this time. Jean prepared me before I come back here. A moment compressed to an eternity. In that moment I have all the time I need to think of all kinds of scenario"

Erika could only listen to this. She herself never cross path with Jean that much in that other timeline.

Loki continue saying

"You think Time Lords are powerful in the use of time? You never met Jean. Time Lords and their gizmos could never beat Jean who could wipe them out with a wave of his hands"

Erika chuckles

"You have quite the grudge with Time Lords? Why is that?" Loki snorted.

"Let say it involves a screwdriver and a telephone box hurtling through space, hounding me in the Time Stream when I was travelling back to this moment in time. He might be the only Time Lord that knows the true story of the End of Everything" Erika was shocked to hear this.

"hmm, that is interesting."

Erika knew that when Jean roll back time from the beginning of time, to the start of the event on Earth, it wipes out the entire timeline.

It never existed in the first place.

What existed are only ghost.

Just like current Loki is a ghost, the Erika in her mind is also a ghost.

A ghost of a future that has never existed.

Jean managed to do it.

And some beings remember.

These beings are either extremely powerful, their attainment of power reaching the zenith of the Truth and those who embarked on their Grand Path and is on the end of their Grand Path.

These are beings that could remember.

Odin for example.

They live outside of the Source Wall. Everything inside the Source Wall was affected by Jean time altering magic

But not the people outside of the Source Wall.

But some choose to forget.

Why?

Because they did not want to get caught up in the cause and effect.

Odin is confident.

Confident that he could find hope.

So, he chooses to bet.

Jade Emperor also seems to have the mentality of wanting to bet

How about Hades?

Poseidon has already sent his trident to Earth.

That shows he also has the desire to make a bet.

Loki is frustrated that things no longer have such a clear path.

It also means that some pawns and some chess pieces is no longer at use. And some old chess pieces might be more precious now than ever.

But, he is not panicking

Instead, he smiles and said

"There is someone who is probably is panicking right now"

Erika thought for a moment before she also smiles.

"Yewa Hafar"

And Loki laughed.

"Since he return to this world, he has always bene planning to return everything to the original path. But Azief broke through the script. The effect of me changing his starting point

also changes many things"

"You don't insist?"

Loki shakes his head

"I always expected that things would change. Instead, I feel a little bit relieved that even the force of fate and destiny could not easily turns this back"

He paused for a second and chuckles. He found it funny.

And then continue saying

"Even they have to play by the logic of this world. Just like The Creator creates, the Destroyer destroys, Fate and Destiny also have their own rules and laws"

"They could meddle but only when it is reasonable. When The One and Only created Fate and Destiny, it is like a fiction writer creating a fiction story. And a fictional story still have to make sense. Hence, there is rule that they should follow"

Erika however is not that optimistic.

"Fate and Destiny always plays dirty. Don't underestimate their ability to stage a turnaround. There is all kinds of way to still put everything back into its place. After all, this is not yet the epilogue. At most this is intermission" Loki nodded hearing this

For a moment there is silence between them

Then he ask

"Where is Antonius?"

"he is searching for someone"

"Who?"

Erika only smiles and reply

"None of your business" Loki only scoffed at this and nodded. She has her plans and he has his plan. At times they could cooperate and at times they could draw sword at each other.

And no one wanted to show their cards to the others. Loki did not blame her as she also never

blames him.

They both wanted to change the future.

Maybe, the road is different but the destination is the same.

This is the reason why Loki never wanted to kill Erika and why Erika never wanted to kill Loki.

They are sometimes rival, sometimes friend, sometimes ally, sometimes an enemy but never

a life and death enemy

They are more like rivals.

Only whoever wins, they both wins

But the way they win....is what they debated about.

The Way.

That is the difference between these two.

Erika is not confident that Loki could win. Hence, she goes her way. Loki is not confident that

Erika could change the outcome so he also goes his own way.

But when their interest overlapped each other, they could help each other like now. Loki met

her today and the reason why they could speak so amicably is none other than the fact that

Loki shows some of his card.

Only such a thing would explain today cordiality between these two.

But even so, there is things that Erika wanted to protect.

And it is not Loki turns to tell her what to do

After all, this is not yet the End.

Who knows what will happen? Victory is not easy.

Maybe this is the difference between Erika and Loki. Erika wanted to win. Loki wanted to not

lose.

Loki then look at the temple.

There is cracks and some of the pillars of the Temple is unstable.

He shook his head and then ask

"Can you do it even when your temple is like this?" Loki suddenly ask and Erika understand

what he is thinking about.

"Use your magic then, clean it up" Loki sighed and then waves his hand and everything about

the temple was rejuvenated.

The boulders that crushed the roof returns back to its place, the uprooted tree seems to have returned back to the top of the mountain

Everything seems to have returned to the way it was before the Word magic of Death Monarch

strikes the mountain.

Changing the Truth into False. One of the strongest domain of Loki.

"Now, can you do it"

"With pleasure" Loki come here today to meet Erika to store something. And only he and

Erika would know what he stores

He himself is eager to return back to his secluded dimension. He could not stay in this world

for long. More memories is disappearing from his mind and even with the protection formation he cast upon himself the force of entropy, the force of time and space is messing with his mind.

Loki did not delay any longer, and he enter the temple with Erika following behind him

.....

He finally ascended the final ridge of the Andes Plain.

"Hah, hah" he paned as he stand on the edges of the Plain.

The Andes Plain after the expansion of the world become even bigger and even more magical.

On the sky there is all kinds of magical creature

Most of them are quite peaceful but some of them are quite aggressive.

Below, there is titanic monsters.

Most of the time he had to hide from these monsters.

When he had no choice he would fight

But after all, he is not here to fight.

But to find someone

He quickly takes a breath and the energy concentration on top of this place is quite thick and

just taking a breath revitalizes him.

His body which is tired because of the constant attack is slowly being healed by the energy in

this place

The terrain is also quite warped and he meant that literally. There is all kinds of Time Space

trap near this plain.

But finally, he reached the summit. And the vastness of the plain shocks him. He estimated

that even the Great Steppe before the expansion of the world could fit the plain on top of this

new Andes

Plain.

The midday sun is shining upon him.

He takes his breath and after around fifteen minutes he recovers all of his strength.

And then he begins running forward.

He is running with the speed of sound. He is searching for something. But he did not take long

to seek it
