For a mont there, there is silence between them.
Loki seems to be savouring the experience.
There is things he could do better. And at the sa ti, he also notice that his thoughts was replicated perfectly.
He notices it midway of course that he is in a simulation but a more susceptible person would be trapped in that simulation and before they know it, they would already have their determination to fight shatters.
This is also one of the thods of Sovereigns.
When Sovereigns appears, so people did not even dare to lift their weapons.
One reason is because they are already powerful.
The other reason is because one gaze and all of their thoughts are revealed and they have their heart broken even before they pick up their weapon or throw their first shot.
One gaze and their whole fight is already simulated and soone with a weak mind could not help but think of that simulation and believe that they would lose.
The mont you believe you would lose; you already lost half the battle. Loki look at Azief and then said
"That is just but a calculation. If we really fight, do you think it would really end like that?" Azief did not say anything for a second. He acknowledges this.
Loki thoughts was slightly manipulated by him in that simulation
Other people would not notice but how could Loki not notice? He surely notices it. But he was only thinking this for a second.
Then he simply ask Loki
"Do you want to fight and destroy the sea?"
Loki did not answer instead he looks at the sky above his head. He narrows his eyes. He had been feeling this since so ti ago.
When he co out of the Untainted Land, he already felt sothing different about the Heaven and Earth
It is not about the energy. It is about the Laws. Sothing changed.
And he could only attribute it to Azief.
"You changed sothing. Heaven and Earth is different now. There is an additional rule" "You felt it?"
"I think Raymond, Hikigaya and Oreki would also feel it"
"What do you think?" Loki did not answer imdiately. Instead, he thinks for a second and then he nodded
"It is good"
Hearing this Azief nodded
Loki is quite far away from Azief right now. After being pushed back, he only retreated around a mile away. One might wonder how could they talk when they are a mile away.
But they could hear each other perfectly. And a mile is a distance that is nothing to them. They could cross that distance in a heartbeat.
And this ti, he walk step by step.
His eyes shines like never before. And with each step, the earth trembled slightly beneath his feet.
The earth veins seems to thrum with energy and strengthen him each ti he walks towards Azief.
Azief just look at this and he smirks a little
He could tell what Loki is thinking.
Loki did not want to get caught by him.....again
And Azief knows that Loki has more trump card.
During that simulation they had together, maybe in the first half, Loki is already conscious.
And the battle afterwards and the conclusion of that battle, is probably sothing that Loki let him see.
In the real world however, Loki must have so other thods to counter that sword slash. Even though they did not talk much, these two seems to read each other minds
Azief has so premonitions about Loki and he also knows Loki is from so future.
He actually seems to know more about Loki this ti than before.
And Loki wanted Azief to co to him.
To solve so things.
They want to et each other but their reason for wanting to et each other is different.
One wanted information.
One wanted solution
Loki leather boots pressed into the cracked soil and even though he did not possess that raw mighty power that Azief seems to possess, there isa different kind of power emanating from him.
The mist that Azief conjured up to confuse the mind is now changing its shape.
Truth and lies interspersed with each other, creating a state of flux between reality and nothingness.
The laws of reality bend subtly around him. A hint of mischief in his eyes.
Like a God of Trickery.
Loki could not help but feel nostalgic.
In the past, or in his past, there were a few tis when the God of Death confront the God of
Trickery
And each ti they face with each other, the earth would shake, the sky would split, the entire world would tremble just by them eting with each other.
Now, even though both of them did not yet beco Sovereign, the pressure they emanated pressure the Heaven and Earth
In twenty years, Azief is not the only one that has improved.
These past twenty years, there is not many mischief that Loki had done.
Then what did he do?
He himself also knows that if he did not train and only sche sooner or later, he would be an
easy target.
He did so things and then quickly break through while at the sa ti maintaining his foundation
And now, he had reached a level of power that allows him to contend with most of the heroes
of the world.
Azief could sense this energy. For the first ti since they t each other, Azief raise his
eyebrows
"You could even deceive the Heavens" Azief mutters
Azief could tell now.
That Loki had broken through Disk Formation and reached Divine Comprehension realm.
The world all thought that there is only four Divine Comprehension realm leveler.
There is Raymond.
There is the Twin Sages of Japan.
And then there is Jean.
But now, there is another one. And this one even hides his cultivation from the world.
And that is not all.
He could feel that Loki is nearing to enter Essence Formation.
All he lacks is an opportunity.
Or a fated chance.
Azief did not notice it before.
It wasn't until Loki activated the Earth veins that he felt a trace of that energy.,
An energy he knows too well.
It is amazing that Loki could even deceive him.
Deceive the heavens. That no one even felt it and knows that he had broken through to Divine
Comprehension realm.
Azief did not seem to care at all that Loki is coming closer and he could attack him.
As Loki co close toward Azief, the world around them grew eerily still. The winds died completely, yet the sky remains tense and full of actions. There is still
lightning dragon swimming across the clouds, and the roars of thunder did not stop. Ominous red fills the dark red clouds making it looks like the sky is bleeding but as Loki co closer and closer, there is a force from him that pressures the heaven above.
The thunder roars beco slower and the crackle of lightning that lit the skies is retreating.
So of the lightning dragon seems to dissipate and rge with the clouds. The swirling storms around the island seems to pause.
Loki and Death Monarch look at each other. And even though they only stand there, they emanate a kind of invincibility that seems to shroud them.
Azief stands there like Death, like he himself is the embodints of endings, a figure of grim inevitability; the other, a creature of unpredictability and chaos, the eternal wild card.
Loki stopped a few paces away from Death, his smile widening, though there was sothing
deeper in his eyes now
Formations. Runes. Hieroglyphs. And Symbols. All of it seems to try to neutralize whatever magic that Azief is casting with his gaze
His voice, smooth as ever, but with an edge of solemnity rarely heard, broke the silence.
"Old friend," he said, his tone both mocking and sincere, "It's been far too long." This ti
Loki no longer attack.
Azief did not move, but the world responded to Loki words.
A distant rumble echoed from the sky, and the mist that has disappeared, appear again and
began to coil tighter around the edges of the island, as though it was closing in on them, wrapping the scene in an otherworldly silence.
Loki grin flickered briefly, the faintest trace of sothing deeper-respect, or perhaps fear.
"You co with all the drama, as always," Loki continued, gesturing lazily toward the
darkened sky.
"Thunder and lightning-what would the others say?"
Still, Azief remained silent, his eyes burning with cold, ethereal light.
He did not need to speak for his presence to be understood.
The entire island stood in the balance of their eting, the boundary between life, death, and
chaos trembling with anticipation.
Loki's smirk faded slightly, his expression turning serious. He stepped closer, now only a
breath away from him.
Now would be the perfect mont for Loki to attack.
If he want to attack this is the mont.
But just like the three feet distance before, even though he is only a breath away from him,
this small distance is like an uncrossable chasm.
The simulation is not entirely true. However, to call it entirely false is not accurate either.
