Lord Shadow

Chapter 761: Ruling the heavens

The sound of the water falling from the stalactite to the stalagmite below is the only sound in the area. Azief come closer to the unconscious person

Will look at Azief and frowning he ask

‘It’s him?’ Azief stop and look at that person. He nodded

‘It is him’ But then Azief frowned. He then asks to no one in particular

‘But how could he be just a Disk Formation leveler?’

‘This is the future. Shouldn’t he be stronger? Before I left, I know he is in Disk Formation. How could after all this time, he is still a Disk formation. That does not make sense at all. Even the breath I take is full of worldly energy. This means the world in the future is even more full of energy than it was during out time.’

‘So, why is he at this level?’

Will raise up his shoulder, a gesture of how should he should know?

‘What should we do? Leave him? Or do something?’ Will ask. Azief is also hesitating. Because he knew this person lying on the cave ground, gasping for air, half dead.

The person that they both were shocked to see is none other than Loki. Azief recognize him because when he rose to a higher level he could see Loki true face.

And even though this person in front of him had some difference with the teenage face of Loki it could be explained away by the growth of age.

This is Loki. Azief had no doubt about that

This is the future. So, that means this Loki is the Loki of the future. Loki face right now is a blonde Caucasian man with green eyes and thin.

He is tall and lanky but at the same time his body seems to emit some kind of repelling power. Not to mention Azief had never felt such kind of power on Loki before.

‘He seems to be saying something’ Will said. Azief nodded.

‘He is delirious’ Azief heard some of Loki ranting. About some book. And some mysteries or something along that line.

Loki right now is bleeding on many parts of his body. Some of his flesh seems to be taken away and some other are rotting in a visible rate.

If Azief did not do anything, today the famous Trickster would die

Whoever that Loki fought, that person must be a very powerful one’ Will said. Will look at all the injuries around Loki body and concluded it as such

Azief was thinking and he is thinking carefully. He closes his eyes. He only closes it for one second, but in that one second all kinds of thoughts swims in his mind.

And opening it, he has a question.

‘This future is one of possibilities, right? One of the possibilities of “a” future right?’ Azief suddenly ask. Will nodded.

‘It could be. Scene we did not yet make any decision in the past, this future might be the simulation of what our past selves decision had done that created this particular kind of future. Nothing is still set in stone. But it also has the possibility that by being here, in the future, and knowing things and seeing events that would happen, would lock that future’

Azief nodded and then he asked another question

‘But it could also be the inevitable future, right? This could be the future that we will experience. Because of the lack of knowledge of what happens between the point in the past and the current point in the future, this matter probably would still repeat itself even if we go back to the past right?’

He asks again. Will understood what Azief is trying to say as he nodded solemnly.

Azief ask again

‘You are sure that you did not open any branching timelines?

‘No’ Will answered.

‘We did not stray into a parallel Earth that share the same similarities with our Earth?’

‘No’ Will answer.

Azief nodded and then he said

‘So, if this is not a probability of the future and instead the inevitability of the future, if I leave Loki like this and he dies, then in the future, Loki future self would die here, inside this cave, alone.’

Will nodded and sighed

‘What happen to me?’ Azief asked. His voice echoes a bit and Will shake his head. He understood the feeling of his sworn brother right now.

Many people believe that the Death Monarch of Pandemonium have always been a cold person. But that is not entirely true. Here and there, those who knows Death Monarch in the personal level, knew he is not as cold as the world portrayed him to be

He could be cruel to his enemies but he is also very protective of those who he called friend and family.

His question seems to ask a fundamental question.

Where is his future self?

Why didn’t he appear and save Loki? Did something happen in the past that separate the two? Azief had never done anything to Loki even after he had schemed against him.

It is because he doesn’t have it in his heart to harm a person he treats as a brother.

And Loki himself, whatever his faults and his flaws, even though he had always schemed against Azief, he had never scheme for his demise.

If anything, Loki scheme has always been for Azief to rise in power

Azief since he enters that Time Tunnel has experienced too much shock. If anything, this is the first time someone has thrown a rock into his otherwise simple life.

To him, his path to the peak of power has always been his objective. But what he saw in the Time Tunnel unsettled him like never before

In the future, what kind of person he would become? Why would Sofia loose her arrow on him? Why would he kill Will his own sworn brother?

Why would Loki here, almost die without anyone beside him?

What happened in the past that would lead to all this tragic events in the future?

What do you want to do? Willa sked.

If this future is the inevitable future, then Loki must live. Because Azief, the current Azief that come from the past would never let anything happen to Loki

Someone could hurt Loki. But they could never try to kill Loki because Azief had never allowed it

Will understand what Azief is trying to do. he himself did not know what he hoped Azief would do. So, he could only ask him a question back

What if this is the probability of the future?’

Actions have meanings. Choices have meaning Azief said as he crouched down and come closer to Loki body.

He closes his eyes and then instantly open it back, as his mind is focused on what he is about to do.

His body is swirling with energy and the Laws of the world seems to form a resonance with Azief aura

He is a Divine Comprehension leveler and he has thirteen Law Bodies that is fully manifested. If he wanted to, his thirteen Law Bodies could come out and activate the Laws that each body had practiced.

Since Azief returns, no one could guess the depth of his power.

He controls the Laws now and none of the Laws that he mastered is simple Laws and each of the Laws he had learned is trained to the peak of mastery

That is the benefit of the Supremacy Stairway.

Unless there is someone that control as many Laws and as powerful of the Laws that he has, they could forget about trying to vie for the title of the strongest in the world.

The injuries around Loki is not normal injuries. Injury is foreign concept for Disk Formation. At least that was the case during the time from where Azief come from

That is why when a Disk Formations leveler got injured, that means only someone around their level or above their level that could inflict such injury. Or a rather powerful Artifact

But Azief with one glance could see that the injury that Loki sustained is an injury that is inflicted by the usage of the Laws of the world.

There is signs of Time accelerating on the cells of Loki. And it is not accelerating toward healing but instead it is Time that seems to wound him even more

On other parts, there is some kinds of Laws that prevent the wound from closing up, the rate of destruction is faster than the rate of regeneration.

He did not know what kind of power level exist in the future but he is sure even in the future, Divine Comprehension leveler at his level would be rare.

The moment he raises his aura, something else happens, up there in the sky on Earth. It is something that Azief had not expected when he moves his will

Azief in the past had won against the Heaven and usurped almost two thirds of Heaven Will.

The stronger he became, the powerful his control on the Heaven Will.

Azief did not expect that the moment he raises his aura; he could feel his control over the Heavens.

But it is not two thirds of the Heaven Will. He could feel the entirety of Heaven Will in the tips of his finger.

Right now, he could see everything in the world as the power of Heaven is transferred to him.

It felt like he is everything. He is seeing the world from the perspective of the clouds, of the water that flows in the ocean, of the grass that sways in the ground.

He did not understand why he had full control of Heaven Will but it took only one second for him to understand why.

‘My future-self-ruled the Heavens’

This is the conclusion that he reached and everything seems to make sense why he could control the Heaven Will. But knowing it does not make him happy

Instead his expressionless face is now frowning.
