Lord Shadow

Chapter 405: Scheming in the dark (3)

It was after hearing this, that Loki target shifted from the chess pieces that Yewa Hafar has planted in Pandemonium to Void.

The only reason he got interested in Void was because he took the Thing that he wanted. Then he seems to grow be an influential person in the criminal underground after being elected as its leader.

And now as he digested the information he got, he felt that the feeling he felt about Void is slowly becoming true.

The information that he streamed into his mind is about Void condition. He has no power whatsoever.

The teleportation thing he did was not his power. His power is truly apt like his name. It is Void. He is Void of power.

Then how did he teleport. From the information he got, it seems someone crafted a suit for him to amplify and changes the properties of his Void energy so that he voided any Space and concept of Time around him enabling him to teleport wherever in the world.

But because the suit has its limit, it could not pass certain restriction.

But if Void step out of that suit he could use his finger to destroy any restriction since every restriction is powered by an energy source.

But it is the other aspect of Void that made Loki uncomfortable. He sighed as he closes his eyes. Trisha waited as she knows that Loki is thinking right now.

He opens his eyes as he looks outside the window and he sighed again.

In the journey of the rise of Death Monarch until he reaches Sovereign while he has many enemies and rivals, he never truly had anyone that could be considered his nemesis.

His opposite.

But in this timeline……there is. Void is the very opposite of Death Monarch

And Void is everything that Azief is not. He is his most perfect antithesis of what Azief is not.

Azief is the strongest person in the world while Void had no energy at all. He is no different than a normal human before the Fall.

For some reason Loki could not help but feel like Void is the result of Fate and Destiny fighting back against his decision.

‘Hmm’ he said.

And how about my brother seclusion? Has he come out yet? Loki ask. Trisha who could only see his back said

‘Yes. He has come out.’

Loki then laughed.

‘I guess he is coming home. He needs to settle a few things anyway’

Loki sighed and then turn back to look at Trisha.

‘How are your sisters? They are doing well with what I tasked them to do?’

Trisha nodded.

‘Riana and Greisha is doing well. Greisha is with Lee Sangmin now. And even though Lee Sangmin is not as powerful as Death Monarch, his array formation would be enough to mask her presence. And Riana…. well, she is still there’

Loki nodded

‘I……put many of you to work while I am lazing round here.’

‘Don’t say that….my lord’ Loki looked at Trisha and he felt a little guilty. He knew what Trisha felt for him but he did not feel the same and he did not want to give her false hope.

‘One day….one day…I’ll make it up to you’ Trisha only smiles bitterly. Loki had a few objective this time coming back to Pandemonium.

First he wanted to pit Void with Death Monarch. Now, that he knows Void better he thinks that this might not have been a very good idea.

Void is crazy…. but he is also very smart and manipulative. A functional crazy.

He wants chaos, destruction and death and he did not want it because of some specific reason, he just wanted it because it is fun probably.

And from what Loki got form the information, it seems Void is obsessed with Death Monarch. There is also the fact that Void have the Orb.

He might need to think of a way to get that thing away from Void. And then there is Will and the Oracle.

The World Distribution Event has ended and while it happened a little bit differently than before, it has passed.

Now, they are inching closer to the Time Crisis. Even though Loki said it a Time Crisis, it is not that grand as people might have imagined.

Azief saw some things in that future of his and he decided to try to get to the bottom of it. And Will helped him. As they run through Space and time, the fabric of reality was stretched to its limit and the border between the Multiverse and other dimension runs thins.

And all manner of monsters, creatures and people from other Universes could enter. To the outside world, Will and Azief was only gone for three hours.

But who knows how long they were in that limb of time and what they saw when they traveled through and what they experienced

And in that three hours, let say chaos happens to the world.

It is because of that event that from moment on that everybody was forbidden to ever create a Time Bridge and travel through Space and time again fearing that the fabric of reality would be ripped apart and end all the life and even probably throwing the entire Milky Way universe into some kind of a Time Loop nightmare that would never end.

Loki had no intention to stop Azief from looking at his own future. It was because the Time Crisis is his defining moment that he became The God of Death.

It is from that moment he had that determination.

Loki don’t quite remember what the memory was about but he knows it is important and that Azief must experience it by himself.

After all, he doesn’t have all the memories, especially when it is concerning Azief.

His mind seems to wander away as the gentle breeze of wind bring him back. He looks at Trisha and said

‘Keep watching over the Broker. Until Death Monarch leaves, you don’t come here no matter what. Now, go on’ he said as he turns around and look at the sky above the Palace and then he smiles

‘He is coming home’ He smiles and leave the communication tower.

Trisha jump out of the window and as she jumped out, green mist covered her as she turned into a black raven and she flies of into the distance.

On the sky, a figure seems to descend down from the clouds to the Palace as Loki calmly walk to the Throne Room of Centre Palace.
