"Will the Wedding still happen?" Erika ask.
"You should know better than I about that"
"I give advice to Death Monarch not to use the eye that much. It is also an advice to myself. I should stop relying on it for everything. I am already blind in one eye. I should not make both of my eyes blind"
Loki look at the distance and sighed
"His magic grows by the day and he has more abilities than before. His sensing power has also risen, his Divine Sense could kill people and now Etherna magic that is as ancients as primordial magic is also being used by him. Things....already goes out of hand"
"You're panicking?" Erika ask with a slight teasing but Loki then smiles
"I am frustrated, yes. But panicked? No"
He chuckles a bit like he found sothing funny
No, there is sothing funny about all of this
"You don't know what I have prepared before coming back to this ti. Jean prepared before I co back here. A mont compressed to an eternity. In that mont I have all the ti I need to think of all kinds of scenario"
Erika could only listen to this. She herself never cross path with Jean that much in that other tiline.
Loki continue saying
"You think Ti Lords are powerful in the use of ti? You never t Jean. Ti Lords and their gizmos could never beat Jean who could wipe them out with a wave of his hands"
Erika chuckles
"You have quite the grudge with Ti Lords? Why is that?" Loki snorted.
"Let say it involves a screwdriver and a telephone box hurtling through space, hounding in the Ti Stream when I was travelling back to this mont in ti. He might be the only Ti Lord that knows the true story of the End of Everything" Erika was shocked to hear this.
"hmm, that is interesting."
Erika knew that when Jean roll back ti from the beginning of ti, to the start of the event on Earth, it wipes out the entire tiline.
It never existed in the first place.
What existed are only ghost.
Just like current Loki is a ghost, the Erika in her mind is also a ghost.
A ghost of a future that has never existed.
Jean managed to do it.
And so beings rember.
These beings are either extrely powerful, their attainnt of power reaching the zenith of the Truth and those who embarked on their Grand Path and is on the end of their Grand Path.
These are beings that could rember.
Odin for example.
They live outside of the Source Wall. Everything inside the Source Wall was affected by Jean ti altering magic
But not the people outside of the Source Wall.
But so choose to forget.
Why?
Because they did not want to get caught up in the cause and effect.
Odin is confident.
Confident that he could find hope.
So, he chooses to bet.
Jade Emperor also seems to have the ntality of wanting to bet
How about Hades?
Poseidon has already sent his trident to Earth.
That shows he also has the desire to make a bet.
Loki is frustrated that things no longer have such a clear path.
It also ans that so pawns and so chess pieces is no longer at use. And so old chess pieces might be more precious now than ever.
But, he is not panicking
Instead, he smiles and said
"There is soone who is probably is panicking right now"
Erika thought for a mont before she also smiles.
"Yewa Hafar"
And Loki laughed.
"Since he return to this world, he has always bene planning to return everything to the original path. But Azief broke through the script. The effect of changing his starting point
also changes many things"
"You don't insist?"
Loki shakes his head
"I always expected that things would change. Instead, I feel a little bit relieved that even the force of fate and destiny could not easily turns this back"
He paused for a second and chuckles. He found it funny.
And then continue saying
"Even they have to play by the logic of this world. Just like The Creator creates, the Destroyer destroys, Fate and Destiny also have their own rules and laws"
"They could ddle but only when it is reasonable. When The One and Only created Fate and Destiny, it is like a fiction writer creating a fiction story. And a fictional story still have to make sense. Hence, there is rule that they should follow"
Erika however is not that optimistic.
"Fate and Destiny always plays dirty. Don't underestimate their ability to stage a turnaround. There is all kinds of way to still put everything back into its place. After all, this is not yet the epilogue. At most this is intermission" Loki nodded hearing this
For a mont there is silence between them
Then he ask
"Where is Antonius?"
"he is searching for soone"
"Who?"
Erika only smiles and reply
"None of your business" Loki only scoffed at this and nodded. She has her plans and he has his plan. At tis they could cooperate and at tis they could draw sword at each other.
And no one wanted to show their cards to the others. Loki did not bla her as she also never
blas him.
They both wanted to change the future.
Maybe, the road is different but the destination is the sa.
This is the reason why Loki never wanted to kill Erika and why Erika never wanted to kill Loki.
They are sotis rival, sotis friend, sotis ally, sotis an enemy but never
a life and death enemy
They are more like rivals.
Only whoever wins, they both wins
But the way they win....is what they debated about.
The Way.
That is the difference between these two.
Erika is not confident that Loki could win. Hence, she goes her way. Loki is not confident that
Erika could change the outco so he also goes his own way.
But when their interest overlapped each other, they could help each other like now. Loki t
her today and the reason why they could speak so amicably is none other than the fact that
Loki shows so of his card.
Only such a thing would explain today cordiality between these two.
But even so, there is things that Erika wanted to protect.
And it is not Loki turns to tell her what to do
After all, this is not yet the End.
Who knows what will happen? Victory is not easy.
Maybe this is the difference between Erika and Loki. Erika wanted to win. Loki wanted to not
lose.
Loki then look at the temple.
There is cracks and so of the pillars of the Temple is unstable.
He shook his head and then ask
"Can you do it even when your temple is like this?" Loki suddenly ask and Erika understand
what he is thinking about.
"Use your magic then, clean it up" Loki sighed and then waves his hand and everything about
the temple was rejuvenated.
The boulders that crushed the roof returns back to its place, the uprooted tree seems to have returned back to the top of the mountain
Everything seems to have returned to the way it was before the Word magic of Death Monarch
strikes the mountain.
Changing the Truth into False. One of the strongest domain of Loki.
"Now, can you do it"
"With pleasure" Loki co here today to et Erika to store sothing. And only he and
Erika would know what he stores
He himself is eager to return back to his secluded dinsion. He could not stay in this world
for long. More mories is disappearing from his mind and even with the protection formation he cast upon himself the force of entropy, the force of ti and space is ssing with his mind.
Loki did not delay any longer, and he enter the temple with Erika following behind him
.....
He finally ascended the final ridge of the Andes Plain.
"Hah, hah" he paned as he stand on the edges of the Plain.
The Andes Plain after the expansion of the world beco even bigger and even more magical.
On the sky there is all kinds of magical creature
Most of them are quite peaceful but so of them are quite aggressive.
Below, there is titanic monsters.
Most of the ti he had to hide from these monsters.
When he had no choice he would fight
But after all, he is not here to fight.
But to find soone
He quickly takes a breath and the energy concentration on top of this place is quite thick and
just taking a breath revitalizes him.
His body which is tired because of the constant attack is slowly being healed by the energy in
this place
The terrain is also quite warped and he ant that literally. There is all kinds of Ti Space
trap near this plain.
But finally, he reached the summit. And the vastness of the plain shocks him. He estimated
that even the Great Steppe before the expansion of the world could fit the plain on top of this
new Andes
Plain.
The midday sun is shining upon him.
He takes his breath and after around fifteen minutes he recovers all of his strength.
And then he begins running forward.
He is running with the speed of sound. He is searching for sothing. But he did not take long
to seek it
