Chapter 854: A wind that slowly blows (1)
Most of the murals and ancient lore about the matter agree it is the rebellion of Etherna against their Lord that had precipitated the creation of the All Source, the source of all energy, laws, concepts and anything imaginable in the Omniverse.
It is a weapon that could only be wielded and used effectively by the Creator and Destroyer.
In the long lore of the All Source, no one had the ability to wield it for a long period of time before dying of excess of knowledge and power.
As such, even the Seven Intergalactic Powers did not dare to touch it that much even when it was split into seven by the Elder of the Universe.
They even contained them in some magical cage so that its effect is lessened.
The Elder of the Universe ability to wield the sacred weapon is probably because of his status as one of the followers of the Creator.
He sighed a bit. He thought to himself that this is still a faraway event but he had to prepare early.
That is how he stays ahead of Yewa Hafar. The All Source would play quite an important role in the Yrinia event and during the End.
And Loki had also realized that the seed to the New World War had been sowed. That virus that Feng Jing had spoken with Hirate, that must be the experiments of the Magician.
It only took Loki a few seconds to connect his memory with the memories of his other six. Now, there is only five since Number One had merged with Number Two.
As such, the memories and knowledge about a sickness and disease appearing in the Asian continent had also fills his mind and he immediately knows who is responsible.
The flu like symptom and the rate of infection that affects even levelers, that must be the early experiments of The Magician to create his weapon.
The New World War is induced by him. Loki would leave it to his other incarnation to deal with this matter.
But it is quite alarming to know that the event is already fast approaching. He sighed as he continues looking at the Wheel in the sky that cover up the sun above.
Loki do watch the battle but he is most preoccupied with the Wheel that is slowly spinning on the sky.
On the other hand, Yewa Hafar is more interested in thinking about the next step. Especially his consideration against Loki.
He did not ask much question toward this particular Loki and did not provoke him because of these considerations
Yewa Hafar consideration is mainly because this Loki, the number seven Loki is not someone he could kill even if he uses his full power. Number Seven seems to possess a Sovereign Level Will form.
That alone is enough to swat him into a beaten meat flesh.
That would be actually the best ending when meeting such powerful expert.
If somehow Loki captured him and torture him in some kind of prisons for souls, that would be a fate terrible than death
To Yewa Hafar, death is never the end since his Master is the Source of all destruction and death. If he dies, that would not be a true death for him.
As for Loki, at least this Loki, he knows a lot more than the Loki that is fighting against Jean and the one who had taken the blame.
One could say he knows everything and what is about to happen. He is Number Seven. The one with all the memories.
Like Loki, Yewa Hafar also made some calculations and collect his information about his enemies.
In the world right now, he only regarded Loki as his enemies. It is ironic though that because of the things that they knew, their relationship is very dynamic
At time, Loki and his objectives seems to coincide with each other
Other time, the objectives that they held clashed with each other.
It is clear to him that Loki want to retain some of the original timeline events and change some others.
As such, their position is very different yet at times it could be reconciled.
Yewa Hafar goals is to make the timeline as near as similar as the timeline where his Lord is able to descend and fulfill the ancient promise.
In the beginning, he believes that Loki action were all in the effort of stopping his Lord from descending.
But as he slowly understands this enemy of his, he began to see some discrepancies with that idea
It did not appear at all like Loki is trying to hinder the arrival of his Lord.
But it doesn’t seem that he is actively helping him either.
This back and forth position that Loki had taken had made him very confused.
He then reaches the conclusion that Loki objectives sometimes could serve and benefit him and at other time could severely impede him.
He doesn’t know if this is some kind of strategy to confuse him or it might be that Loki had actually from the very beginning have some plans that Yewa Hafar could not think of.
As such, with Loki by his side, Yewa Hafar is very cautious in his actions and words, fearing that he would reveal something to him.
And this Loki is not the same Loki he met at that island. This Loki seems to have an air of mystery around him that make guessing his thought almost an impossible matter.
He rarely comes out but now he had come out the actions that he took is very mysterious and puzzling
Yewa Hafar is without a doubt, the enemy of not only Earth Prime, but all of Universes.
He wanted to welcome His Lord to Earth and by doing so, starting Annihilation of the Omniverse
Thus, the action that Loki took is very confusing.
Loki also did not immediately kill Yewa Hafar because he knows even if he kills Yewa Hafar nothing would be achieved.
Instead it would free Yewa Hafar from his current host and enter a more pliable host.
It is clear that even though the soul in that body of Yewa Hafar hibernates, once an external pressure that affect the soul of Yewa Hafar is used, that soul could restrain a bit of Yewa Hafar movement.
To Loki, this is nothing short of a weakness
At that time, during the final battle, he was shocked to know about Yewa Hafar but he was also caught blindsided because of him.
He did not know much about Yewa Hafar and as such he lacks the corresponding knowledge to restrain Yewa Hafar.
He is not going to make the same mistake again
But now, it is different.
Loki knows a lot about Yewa Hafar. At least a lot more than before.
Killing him would only enable him to possess others and he had to once again compile his data on Yewa Hafar.
And killing him would inform the Destroyer.
It is not good to have the eyes of the very personification of All Deaths and All Destruction to train His eyes on him
The wind blows again as they saw an entire island was pushed down back into the ocean by the pressure of the Wheel in the sky
Loki smiles bitterly. The island was just about to be formed but because of the pressure from the Heaven is was pushed back down.
But that is the only feeling he felt. A bit pity and nothing more and nothing less but then he looks back at Yewa Hafar.
The wind blows harshly around them and they could see tornadoes are forming in the distance. The entire sea is stormy, everything was in disarray and in constant state of danger.
‘Why?’ that is the question that comes out from Yewa Hafar mouth.
