Lord Shadow

Chapter 383: The purple speedster and the oracle (2)

Sometime one could even lost himself in there and trapped inside a Time Tunnel.

If you are lucky you would be thrown off into some distant past or some distant futures in one own timeline and dimension.

To those who were not that lucky they might get trapped into a Time Loop without even knowing that they are trapped in a Time loop.

What is terrifying is that if you are transported into a Time which is not of your dimension and on your Timeline.

A Speedsters might even lose their entire source of power and could not return back.

So each Speedster must be careful not to run too fast that it breaks the Time barrier and created a Time Tunnel.

To those who survived the Time Tunnel phenomena or lucky enough to stop before they got into the Time Tunnel, some of them said that the entrance to the Time Tunnel is a door.

While some said it is a gate. His teacher said that probably what each Speedster saw would be different.

To some Speedster it could be a large door. To some other it would be a gate.

The Speedster of the past could run into a Time tunnel and arrived at a time of their choosing. That is probably why they created an imbalance in the Laws of the Universe and was eradicated by the Destroyer.

His teacher told him that he could do it too. But he must have a compass. When asked about what kind of compass…. his teacher never replied.

His Teacher would only say that Speedster speed is akin of magic sometimes.

She would only say that each time he asks about the compass and not before long Will did not ask the question again.

Will shakes his head shaking of his memories and he look at the house and sighed. He doesn’t know how to approach that woman.

But the words that Erika said in his dreams still echoes inside his mind and in his ears. It is like a spell somehow.

Will think that the dream-like scape is actually the resonance of the future but it also could be something else.

If it is the resonance of the future trying to resonate with the past then that would probably mean the woman that people called Oracle in the future would meet him and said those words to him, knowing that her words would resonate to the past and reached him

That is quite impossible right? How could one predict such a thing? If it’s true, then the world might have underestimated Erika the Oracle too much.

And she might be more terrifying than anyone could imagine. It is for this reason that he had to know for sure.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Will look at the distance and he frowned. The wind blows gently.

Will could hear the sound of the wave slapping in the distance. Around the shores are hunters roasting a large Kraken while singing a festive song and drinking.

Among those hunters are some pirates. Will saw the so called Kraken when he circled the island before.

Though in Will eyes that is not a Kraken. That is just a large squid.

Will knows the real Kraken is not twenty feet high. It is one hundred feet high with tentacle that could wipe out a city.

He remembers he was shaken when he saw it

And that monster is still asleep.

And it is not in Greece. Will when he was at Pandemonium was shown something very shocking by his brother.

Azief shows him the location of the Kraken, northwest side of the Pandemonium Sea, sleeping soundly on the bottom of the sea. It looks like a large island on the bottom of the seas

Will did ask Azief why he did not kill the Kraken.

He simply said it is his plans.

He already informed this matter to the army and the officials of Pandemonium and instead of killing it they decided to nurture it.

Of course the only reason they were confident of doing this is because Pandemonium has Death Monarch. Even if Death Monarch is gone they still have The Three Generals.

If they could tame it that would be even better.

If they could not, when the Kraken is on a rampage, it would be a time where every low level citizen could at least shoot one bullet or an arrow and when the Three Army go for the kill or the weapons created in Pandemonium deliver the killing shot, his people would instantly rise up in levels making Pandemonium citizens becomes even stronger.

Will of course knows the ideas that Azief had about the distribution of energy.

But it is different for monsters.

Their body seems to be storing a fixed amount of energy that when they died that energy is absorbed by the people killing it.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The waves sounded again and Will take a deep breath. He is in Greece. Specifically, he is in Santorini.

It is an island in the southern Aegean Sea now ruled by the Seven Warlords of Delphi.

While the Sven Warlords of Delhi is from the World Government people knows that they are trying to leave the World Government.

Erika on the other hand is one for the people of the Republic.

But unlike any of their public figure or enemies, the World Government did not put any restriction on her or any kill order or show her any disrespect.

And even the Republic allowed the Oracle to go wherever they pleased.

Of all the officials, and figures in both organization, other than Raymond and Oracle, nobody else possess such autonomy over their own affairs that would not affect the organization much.

Raymond was given such privileges because he is not worrisome and his influence in World Government could even be considered more influential than Hirate.

The responsible hero of the World Government that is Raymond described to perfection.

The oracle however is like a deity to some people divining futures like some kind of Gods of Fates and Destiny.

Like Death Monarch she has her own cult. She did not lead them but it is clear people believe in her like she is some kind of messenger of God Will.

Will sighed. Erika is not an easy person to talk to. Only Death Monarch would be so nonchalant about the Oracle and not even interested in meeting her.

The other thing that Death Monarch don’t have toward her is dread. Will however dread his meeting.

‘It is truly beautiful’ Will said as he looks at the island.

He circles the island once before he stopped at his current position. While he is moving fast, his mind also becomes fast. It was like his perception matched automatically with his speed.

There is no longer blue roof and white houses in this island like before the Fall.

It was like it returned to the age of antiquity, looking serene and calm… and above all beautiful.

It is quite ironic. The Fall took millions of lives. The Weronian War that comes later takes more lives.

The human population is the lowest it’s been since the modern age.

But in the absence of humans, or lack of them, and probably because of the Fall, Earth becomes even more beautiful and not to mention healthier.

Lush, tall trees, clear sparkling river water and a clean ocean. It was like Earth got a reset button

Even the air felt like something heavenly

‘Kallíst?’ he muttered under his breath.

That is the name of this island before it is called Santorini.

Kallíst? means the beautiful one.

And it lived up to its name. There are not many people living on these island.

Some of them are either the native people who survived the initial war and the Weronian War after and the other are people who found this island and make a life here.

And pirates. Will did not forget the pirates that hides their treasures around the many coves on the Aegean Sea and the abandoned island all over the world.

They probably wouldn’t even know that the All Seeing Oracle lives among them.
