Lord Shadow

When one heard the term final battle what they imagine in their heads is probably a great battle with explosions and thunderous sound filling the Heaven and Earth.

If anything, the War of the Sovereign would be more explosives sight with the Sovereigns fighting across stars and planets and battling all over to other dimensions.

But the Final Battle was very quick, silent and boring. It was quick, anticlimactic and does not look like a battle at all.

It was such a quick battle that there is nothing interesting about it. Probably the reason why they called it the Final Battle is because that is the last battle ever in the Omniverse.

And it was truly that. It was the Final Battle since everything after that would be turned into nihility

And as such, people who did not take part in the Final Battle did not understand the camaraderie of the people that fought that day.

It is why Morgana did not understand what he was trying to achieve but it is also the reason why Giselle of the future would voluntarily help him and betrayed Morgana.

These ghosts still help him, a fragment of them in his heads keep pushing him from the back to make sure that the future they see and felt and fought for would be realized.

There is an agreement between the people that fought in the final battle.

There are understanding because they all shared the same pain and they are all united in their desire for a different future.

They all see what would happen and so they all know there is no worse thing that could happen to the Omniverse than what they are seeing then.

But everyone knows that to go change fate and destiny, especially such a strong fate and destiny, it would be hard if not impossible.

That is the case for Azief and it is the case for the other Sovereign.

But in particular Azief fates and destiny. Because the fate of the Universe and the entire Omniverse lies on his shoulder.

Because he was chosen.

And the reason he was chosen is because he chose his path and that path cause him to be chosen as the perfect instrument for that fate and destiny to materialize itself.

In the end, what supposed to happen would happen anyway. Loki thought to himself.

Since Loki heard that Azief had a vision in the Time Tunnel, he could guess what Azief had saw inside it.

This time, Azief would still meet the Oracle and probably he would also make the same choice. Loki don’t know how he is supposed to be feeling right now

As Loki was thinking of all of this Azief suddenly added something else

‘And I see myself betraying others’ hearing this suddenly Loki eye widened for a second.

This is different he thought to himself. He kept the shock he felt inside his heart and then Loki ask Azief

‘You see people betraying you and you betraying people?’ Azief sighed and nodded

‘Then why do you need to see The Oracle?’ Loki ask.

He unconsciously blurted. He blurted out because this is out of his expectation. And instead of feeling frustrated because of this slight difference, he felt some emotions that is akin to happiness blooming in his heart

‘I had to confirm something’ Azief reply and Loki snickered at the answer

‘The last time you wanted to confirm something, you fought with the Heavens. It seems to me that each time you want to confirm something, earthshaking events would happen’

Azief ignored Loki snide comments and he then said

‘Do you know where she is?’

This is the third time Azief ask the same question.

With Sasha, he only needs to repeat two times and Sasha would understand him.

But with people Azief consider family, sometimes no matter how many times he repeats things, they choose not to listen.

Loki then suddenly laughed and he said

‘People betrayed you and you betrayed people. This is interesting. This is very interesting’ he said. Azief was about to say something else and then Loki end his laughter and then said to Azief

‘The Stonehenge. She is there. I bet she is waiting for you too’ Then he slowly walks away from the balcony. Azief was perplexed.

He was perplexed that Loki answer him truthfully and he was also perplexed at the meaning of that answer

She is waiting for him? He thought

‘That easy?’ Azief was shocked of how easy it was to get Loki to talk. Loki stop walking away and then he turns and look at Azief and ask

‘Why would it be hard?’ Azief narrowed his eyes and said

‘You…. did this also happen in your time?’ Loki only smiles and then sighing he asked

‘You sure you won’t regret this? Loki ask.

There was once again silence between them as they look at each other. Loki eyes is shining with excitement.

For whatever reason, the words Azief had said had made Loki felt very excited.

And in Azief eyes there is also wariness. Loki words, is it a warning? Or is it to discourage him to meet the Oracle? Or is it meant for him to be curious enough to meet the Oracle?

Azief then ask

‘Would I regret it?’ Azief ask. Loki laughed and then opening his arms wide he said

‘I am not you, how would I know?’ And then he laughed.

Azief then answer

‘I won’t regret it’ he answers. Loki nodded

‘Then, that is good enough. Don’t blame me if you regret it’ Azief nodded.

Then Loki ask

‘Is there anything else you would like to ask. I need to prepare some things if I have to handed the administrative matter back to you’ Azief frowns suddenly.

‘You could still become administrator for Pandemonium’ Loki shakes his head and he said

‘You’re here. Why should I guard it anymore? And I am a busy man. We both know why you want me to guard Pandemonium when you were gone. Now, it is time to let me go, don’t you think?’

‘What you are going to do now?’ Azief asked. Azief no longer have the mood to look at the scene of the city.

Loki then answered simply

‘A lot. There is a lot to do’

‘You could stay’ Azief asked.

Loki smiles bitterly and he thought to himself he wanted to stay too. But since Azief is about to trigger the Time Crisis, then Loki had to be ready to sacrifice some things.

And there is a lot to sacrifice he thought to himself. Azief of course did not know what Loki ha planned to do thus he thought Loki had other plans.

Loki on the other hand did not mind making the sacrifice. He believes Azief would understand him later.

Because this time, none of the people that Azief had loved would be harmed.

Someone had to do it.

And that someone could only be him.

When Azief would go to the future and see what he needs to see, Loki knows what his role was on the present time. The Time Crisis would weaken the barrier between worlds and even realities and other dimensions.

And he even believes he is coming closer to the Origin. Maybe this choice that he is about to made is also predestined.

Then Loki said

‘I had to decline’ Loki finally said. Azief then said

‘Sasha would not just forgive and forget. She would not try to kill you because I already gave her a warning. But she will probably harass you. She would not make it easy for you to do whatever you wanted to do’ Azief said

Loki snickered and then he reply

I like to see her try’ And he laughed.

He then walked to the throne room door and then he opens it and walk out of the throne room leaving Azief alone inside.

Azief look at Loki back and he felt that back seem so lonely and he close his eyes. Because his heart ache seeing such scene.

The door was closed and Azief is now left alone inside the throne room.

Outside the room, Loki stopped walking as he closed the door. He turns his body and look at the tall door of the throne room and sighed.

‘Since you will not regret, then I think I also won’t have to regret’ he said bitterly. He has been preparing for this moment, for this particular event since Azief was gone.

‘Let me take all the blame’ Loki said. In that brief moment, Loki could somehow guess what would happen to him in the future when Azief become Sovereign.

And he knows what he is going to say at that time.

Maybe that is the chance for him to go to Origin. Like Morgana had to return to the Origin of her past, maybe he too would have to suffer the same thing.

Morgana is buried so deep inside the top peak of Mount Everest that no one would find her. But Loki is confident that Azief would find her one way or another.

Sometimes, fate and destiny is a great help.

Fate and Destiny is not emotional.

That is why as long as it conforms to the plans of destiny and walk with it, it is easier to achieve certain things and why fighting against them is also hard.

At times, Loki fight against fate and destiny., At other time, he uses Fate and Destiny into his calculations. He took only a moment before he finally takes a step to the other courtyard.

Now, he just need to hand off the responsibility back to the Central Government and get out of Pandemonium as fast as possible.

It is time for the Three Demoness to return to him. And for that to happen he need to come out of Pandemonium first.

As Loki walk around the courtyard he could not help but look at the open wide sky above Pandemonium and he could not help but feel like there is an eye up there looking at him.

And he smiles a bit.

In Pandemonium, Azief eyes sees everything. Smirking, he thought to himself

‘I am about to protect the King. Yewa Hafar, what would be your next move?’ Then laughing he walked slowly to the lower levels of the Centre Palace.

Azief in his throne room opens his eyes, his eyebrows frowning. And then he sighed.
