Lord Shadow

It is for that reason also that she knows more about the God of Life and Death than she knew about the other Sovereign.

That was what she did in the other timeline. That is not the only reason of course but it is one of the reason.

The two eyes are connected. 

The eyes of an Oracle are not the same as any other people eyes. If Azief lost his eyes, it would regenerate itself and he had a brand new eye that felt no different than the previous one. But there are some ways to make some deformities permanent. 

Like the One Eyed Odin

Odin lost his eyes to Mimr

The eye is a blessing and a curse. That is how to inflict permanent mortal injury to a God. A curse. Odin had drink the water of Mimr well and gain the ability to see the future.

The price for that knowledge is his eyes. 

As such, the Dark Price is observed. And Odin with his new ability sees death and sorrow for the people of Midgard and that the people of Midgard will be redeemed by an event of a great promise.

It is why, Asgardians and Jotuns cares very much about promises. 

It is why Loki cares deeply about the thing he promised and why one exhorted the virtue of thinking deeply before committing yourself to a promise.

And the reason why the Destroyer is able to do what it did is also because an ancient promise between him and the Supreme One.

Loki is not the only one that knew some secrets of the Omniverse. Then she closes her eyes. She now thinks about Antonius. 

She tries to let all this kind of vision that swims in her mind to fade away in the background. Focusing is not really the forte of an Oracle.

She is trying to think the best way to end this conversation and settle this matter without too much negative thing happening to her and Antonius. 

Time is running out. 

Tonight Azief had already met with Loki, Sina and she could guess who he is going to meet up next. 

Azief is going to meet up with Will now. Sooner or later, whatever question that he has, whatever uncertainty that gnaw his heart, in the end that path would lead him to her.

Loki had send her a message that Death Monarch will surely come to her. 

Just like in that other timeline. Loki send that message to her to prepare her of what is to come. Because at least, in this matter they are united in their opinions of how it should go down.

‘I know what I am doing. You just focused on researching’

We could go away Antonius said. 

‘The world is vast. We could even leave Earth. I could train to Disk Formation and we could leave Earth. There is trillions of stars and planets all over the Universe. We could hide in one of those stars. We don’t have to stay here.’

Erika chuckles a bit. It is true there are other planets in the galaxy. But how far would one have to go to find a habitable planet. 

And if the Universe is so good, then why those Disk Formation that went out the stars went back home to Earth.

Because the energy of the galaxy is not as good as the energy that the World Orb provide. 

You could fly for a hundred days with a speed that akin to light and you would never found a planet that has such an abundant energy like it is on Earth.

Unless you have a World Gate or some way to cross easily to some habitable planets, then it is better to stay on Earth and breakthrough here.

Not everybody is like Death Monarch who have the Universe Orb and could went through the barrier of the Multiverse.

Not to mention that the World Government have focused all of the rips of the Multiverse into their World Gate and they would always arrest whoever that tries too open a gate to the multiversal barrier.

It is not as easy as one would imagine to find a habitable planet unless one had a powerful spaceship. 

But unless you are some bigshot in one of the Seven Great Powers who would built you powerful spaceship to go to the stars.

Even mechanics and Architect have standards on choosing who they help.

And there is not only emptiness there on the stars. There is also threats. If you judged wrongly or meet some powerful being up there, then you won’t even know how you died.

‘Erika, please’ Antonius said again

This time his voice is full of pleading. Erika was tempted. But then she remembers what will happen, what is at stake and how many lives that is being wagered right now.

This is not only a matter of Earth. This is a matter of all existence. Death Monarch and his woman might only cares about love. But she cares about life.

Because she is living. 

She shakes her head and simply said

‘This is Destiny and Fate’ this is the same answer she replied to Loki. Antonius rushed here all day. 

But now Erika said this, he knew she could not be budged. 

He could feel that she is determined to do this. 

For a while, there is silence between them both. 

Erika will not budge. She too the pestle and once again hit the mortar with the fruits. It would be made for her. And it needs toe in higher dosage.

Antonius stand there and then shaking his head, he said

‘I was never able to stop you from doing something you wanted to do. Since you said it is destiny and fate, you know I could not stop you even if I wanted to’ Antonius understand the words that Erika said to him. 

When she said Destiny and Fate it means this is not something that will just go away if they leave

After following her for years, he learns something about the vision that Erika saw. There are some people with weak fate and some people with strong fate. 

The stronger the fate, the harder it is for it to change.
