Chapter 1826: Between A God and A Devil

?

A raven.

Which is weird, strange, bizarre and unnatural to begin with.

How could a raven, travel through space.

And not only space, but universes, with a speed that approaching light speed.

And there is two ravens to be exact.

And there is probably only these two ravens that could follow Interium in the vast Omniverse.

These two ravens belongs to that One Eyed Wanderer.

It is Odin raven. Hugin and Munin, some called their name.

In other worlds, they have different names, different aspect.

And wherever these two ravens go, Odin could see through it. Where is Odin? Odin is not in Asgard

He is not preparing to slumber

Instead, Odin has come to Earth to plan.

And his plan has something to do with the Child of the End.

And the Child of the End is in Interium.

How could that not alarm him?

So, two ravens that watched over the realms of Asgard is now dispatched to look at Interium.

Etherna magic is powerful.

But Wargod and Odin has meet many times.

And Odin knows some method to peek through the formation.

While it could not see through all of Interium, for it to peek on one person is not something difficult for Odin to do.

Odin is making sure some of the chess piece is still in the game.

Odin himself is still on Earth

Probably in a cave or in some isolated tent in the middle of nowhere, his eyes seeing through worlds

Yet the moment, Wargod is about to reveal his name, Odin suddenly appears. The ravens suddenly fly and perch on his shoulders

Odin look at Interium and he frowned

And this time he did not appear like a wanderer.

No grey robe.

No wooden staff.

No hunching back.

No amiable appearance like an old man searching for shelter.

He is standing there just above Interium, flying along with Interium, wearing a golden armor with his golden spear, his left eye is covered by a golden eyepatch.

And he is looking at what is happening in Interium with wary eyes. And as he look at Interium, he could see that Wargod also realizes that he is above the skies of Interoium and look bact at him

Wargod did not say anything. He just look at him and for a moment, they look at each other eyes.

Odin tries to penetrate Wargod mind but an Etherna mind is like a maze. It is even more complicated than the maze of the Minoans.

Wargod only look at him at a glance and then he continues looking at the Child of the End.

Right now, Odin has appeared above the sky of Interium, ready to fight. He is looking at Wargod like he is warning him.

And he is not the only one that is looking at this scene right now.

There is another person on Earth that could see things that is far away.

This person shares an eye with Azief.

This kind of bond is not easily broken.

With oath and magic as layer of this bond, this is one of the most unbreakable bonds there is.

An eye for an eye.

And the fate intertwined forever.

The oracle is now in her temple.

She is sitting in her own secret chamber. Closing her eyes, but seeing things

And the things she sees right now is things she has never seen before.

She open the Veil and the Veil shows her new signs, new omens and a new future.

She did not know what to feel.

This chess piece is about to come out from the chess game. And she doesn't know how to feel about it

"Wargod...this being...." Erika was about to say something but she held herself back from saying something

She could see all of this happening. But even her vision has limits. Before she could see even further, her vision is cut off.

By something.

"Uhuk" Eriak coughed up blood the moment she opens back her eyes.

"Wargod?"

She did not know who cut off the connection.

But whoever that is, they did a terrifying job at it.

She could feel that her lifespan was drained so fast that if she had endure, she would burn one thousand year of her lifespan right there and then.

And that is a terrifying thought to even fathom

She takes a few second to calm herself down and then she began thinking and plotting

"Loki doesn't know"

"Yewa Hafar?" she thought for a second and then shakes her head

"he also probably doesn't know"

And she smiles.

"In this game of chess of ours, I got the first advantage"

And even though she had just sacrificed five hundred years of her lifespan, she is laughing.

And she is laughing joyously.

From the very beginning, she is the open with the least advantage. Loki is a Sovereign and he knows more secret than she does.

Yewa Hafar is a being that is the envoy of the Destroyer, a being that could End All Things.

The amount of secrets and magic and abilities he possess is boundless.

If not for the fact that Earth itself is special, then not even Loki could contain Yewa Hafar.

In this plane of existence, Yewa Hafar needs to have a vessel. Only then could he remain in

this Earth

That is like a handicap that the One Above All.

Or The Only One, The One and Only, whatever you want to call Him give to these beings that surpasses anything that has ever been created

Erike has the ability to see the future.

But her true ability was to communicate with the Veil.

Communicate with all of her past selves, her future selves from all parallel Universes and all timelines that could exist and have existed and even the ones deleted by Time itself.

Her true power lies not on her ability to see the future.

But to communicate and use the Veil.

But even though she has all of this knowledge, all of this future events that she knows would

happen, she did not have the power to stop it.

Like Cassandra in that epic tragedy.

She could not change anything. At least not by herself. That is something she now has

understood very much

She needs to know how to leverage her ability to see the future into something tangible

And one must admit, she leverage it pretty good.

She wins people towards her side. The Seven Warlords of Greece for example. There she gains

power and influence.

At that time, she did not yet possess the memory that she has now.

But even then, she knows what she wanted to do and how to get it When she doe get the memory of the future, the memory of her future selves and the tragic

ending that awaits every existence, she immediately plans to become one of the chess player. She create chances, and created coincidences so that in the end, Azief would come to her and when he did come to her, she could have an advantage to have some things move according to

her will

So, she gave him her eyes.

That pain still throbbed but she find it worth it.

She doubles that advantage when she transplant her own eye into the eye socket of Azief.

That bound their fate together even more closer.

But it also gave her no way out.

Their fate is now intertwined.

But Erika has always been ready for it.

Whether she binds her fate with him or not, the price of failure is the same for her.

She is not some kind of powerful beings even in that other future. Some beings could survive the annihilation of the Omniverse. But that is only inside the Source Wall.

And even they, these gods and deities, demonic beings and Chthonian nightmares, have to

experience death

Asgard had toe experience Ragnarök again, Olympian would choose either the Titanomachy

or the Gigantomachy.

The Jade Emperor had to choose to create another tribulation or another Havoc of Heaven.

And so on and so forth.

But for her, binding her fate or not, she would die with Earth. Since that is the case, why not

bet it all?

Bet it all and strive for that one percent of chance of victory. Seize it and instead of only hoping, do your best and find that one chance.

When she had the memories of her future selves, Loki also began finding her. And even

though she makes plan and crafted her steps carefully, put on many chess pieces all over the

world, there is still a gap

there is still a gap of advantage between her, Loki and Yewa Hafar.

One is a former Sovereign, knowing many inside stories that she did not know

The other is an ancient being of destruction, the subordinate of the embodiment of pure

death and destruction

And there she is, between god and devil, a mere Oracle.

In some places, Oracles are just the spokesperson of time and space. Sometimes, there are

servants of Gods that sees the future and share that power with them.

However, this knowledge that she had gotten just put her on the first place if this is the race

"Of course, the race is not over yet" she mutters.
