The Old One from House of Sith then sighed

“He might not know that the River Master would appear”

“But it is clear he knew exactly what he would trigger by meeting with that child ahead of schedule and talk about things that he should not talk about. He takes advantage that the ripple created by the Loki of Midgard to initiate this plan. None of this happens the last time. The plans of Jean the Time God…. works”

“This is chaos.” The one from the House of Yara mutters

“Maybe…. that is exactly what Jean wanted. Controlled order in the beginning and disorderly chaos near the end. And we are nearing the End. The controlled order is so that one could build a foundation. The disorderly chaos is so that one would find a path amidst the dead ends”

All of the Orvanians in the room is silent.

They all think what they see from the beginning. And from the beginning means from the first time Earth was created until the moment the All Source was sent. In this moment all five of them is pooling their brain resources to see all of the story of the timeline of the Prime Earth.

From the very beginning, to the Five Thousand Years War and also look at the rise and falls of empires. Those humans all thinks that the rise and fall of empires, all of those heroic stories seem to be grand. But to the eyes of beings like the Orvanians, it is like kingdom of ants.

Time itself the sharpest sword for mortal beings and as such they look at it with indifference.

And then they view it again…. this time focusing on something else. Yes, they look at the All Source, they look at Odin acting and then they look at the events after that. The Child of the End and then Loki

“The variable is Loki. Controlled order for foundation. We should have seen it back then. But we didn’t want to be so obvious so we neglected it. Jean and Loki…. they probably took that into consideration”

The one from House Yar then said

“Loki seems to be following fate and destiny and even allowing certain things to happen. That is why we do not notice it in the beginning” the Old Ones are all narrowing their eyes.

Thinking about it, they neglected it. But is it really that they neglected it or is there some outside forces that cause them to neglected all of this?

Some powerful beings could hoodwink them or create some kind of mental wall for them to not even notice the movement of Loki

Or…. they might be calculated from the beginning by Loki and Jean. Those two are also quite cunning

“Jean probably knows we would not interfere in the beginning”

The Old Ones all nodded

In the beginning they truly did not want to scheme or plots or enter the game. They just follow the script. They expected some changes because the fact that jean changes the timeline could not entirely be hidden to them

Of course, these memories of a deleted timeline did not come immediately. It took time. It too discrepancies between the current timeline and the deleted timeline for the Five to finally notice it

And once they notice it, they look back at the time and space continuum and there is nothing wrong

And that is where it is wrong. Something has been deleted. That is the conclusion of the Orvanians. But it would only be the five that understood it and remember it in detail

They reconstructed of what would happen and from there, they retrieve back their memories of the End.

And then they began watching the Child of the End. This time, they watch it with greater concern

And then they begin scheming.

Though, the five themselves are still in a dilemma. To what point and to what direction should they plan

The moment that Child become Sovereign, the plots and intrigues of the Orvanians probably could not be hidden from him

Not to mention now that he already had the support of many powerhouses in the world. It would not be easy to manipulate him. Even in the last timeline, the Orvanians even though they could see that there is something that would happen on Eartha and knows that Azief would become the catalyst for that matter, they could not interfere much

The Death God. That child would become a God of Death. Or Life. Depending on how he uses his power.

Sovereign are beings that have reached the ceiling of power. The only difference between Sovereign is the mastery and usage of their laws.

And the kind of magic that they could muster. At this point, even Orvanians needs to think twice if they wanted to interfere in the matter.

As for now, regardless of how strong he is, he is still a mortal so there is still space for the Orvanians to maneuver.

But to what direction should they point the Child? Follow fate and destiny…or defy it?

But knowing this child is, if he knew, how could he not defy it. And with Wargod egging him on from behind…the path of defying…. that would surely be the choice that the child would choose

Slowly changing it, and making sure foes like Morgana is buried down in the past, initiating contact with the White Witch and also seems to have connection with the Oracle

All of this shows that Loki is walking step by step. And there is a plan. The thing is the Orvanians did not know what this plan is. When it is about this matter, there is too many things that the Orvanians did not know

“anyway, it would not be long before the Time Lords will ask us to help them. The Multiversal coefficient is showing that pointed toward a Multiversal Convergence in many worlds and realities”

All of the Old Ones frowned.

Wargod is really doing big things this time. It is fine for Wargod. Since he did not really mind the cause and effect.

He is the only one that would not care. After all, his race is already exterminated. And so, he is without restrain and he could do things like these that turns the entire Omniverse upside down

“The Time Lords…They needed our people to make sure that it would not reach a Convergence. The last time is already taxing enough for them. They are still in the cleanup mode all over the Omniverse. And now, if there is another Multiversal Convergence, it would not end like before. Tens of thousands of worlds could be swallowed by a singularity event”

“Identity Collapse, timeline cannibalizations, causality breakdowns”

And the Old Ones sighed

All of those terms are things that would happen in case time rupture begins occurring.

The ripple did not reach the Source Wall but if they did not apply fixes then sooner or later the ripples would knock down on the Wall

“Those time keepers and Time lords would have their hands full. I am not that worried about them. I am worried about something else. The Three Fates”

“They are in the game”

The Old One from Rhobos then said

“They are just a trigger. They are not in the game. They move according to the timeline and according to fate and destiny. They sent Fir Her Waz to Earth. Just like it was before”

“Well, things had changed now surely” The Old One from Yara thought in his mind

“What do you mean?”

“Hades, Poseidon enters the game. clearly, they have their own intention in joining. If Hades joins, sooner or later, Hera would join”

All of them thought for a moment and in these few moments of silence, they all understand the chain of thoughts and nodded

“Hera could be persuaded to join by Hades. Loki of Asgard would surely be a part of her calculations. Those two have a history during the Five Thousand Year War. Hera is trapped because of her identity and title and she probably could not and would not want to always be Zeus underling”

“What about Zeus? You are sure he is not just pretending and waiting for the right moment to strike. That one has always been cunning”

Zeus.

From what they understand Zeus himself sealed his memories.

Maybe he sealed in Tartarus.

Or maybe he sealed in the Underworld.

Or even in the fire of the hearth.

But one thing is clear.

When Zeus first send the World Orb, the All Source to Earth, he seems genuinely ignorant about what will happen

Odin cooperated, acting like it was the first time he did it.

But Zeus was truly not in the know.

Everyone else probably also did not know or if they do know they pretend not to know.

After all, they just needed to do their part.

At that time Hermes and Erlang was there.

Do they know? Or do they pretend not to know? In the end, the only one that knows is themselves.

Hermes, Erlang, Zeus, all of these are not mortal beings, whose thoughts could easily be deduced.

Zeus himself goes by many names and have many personas and faces. Long before he was called Zeus, he was called something else.

And he took that form.

And then he took the form of Zeus during those Five Thousand Year War

The same for Odin.

For beings like them, when people worshipped them, it gave them another life and another source of power.

They could break it and choose a different path but it is easier for some but not for everyone
