Lord Shadow

If he was a Sovereign right now, the force of Time Correction would at most injured him. 

But he is not a true Sovereign. 

Instead he only possesses the Willpower of a Sovereign but did not possess the true prowess of a Sovereign. His body would not be able to withstand the overbearing power of Time Correction.

Loki look at another direction and he nodded to himself.

‘Number Two should have all the memories from Number One. This is more than enough’ he thought to himself. 

Saying this, he then flicks his finger forward. The Laws of the world around him distorted and changes it properties.

The space crack and thunder crack up in the heavens.

The gust of wind that was generated when he flicks his finger tore open a hole in space.

If one looks at the space tear one would see dark void on the other side of that space tear. Loki walk toward that space tear and he immediately disappeared.

The world become calm as Loki had return back to the sealed dimension. On another part of the world, Loki remove the Helm of Invisibility form the top of his head.

He had sense that Number Seven had come out and returned back.

‘He is taking too much risk’ he clicked his tongue. 

But then he thought of the current situation and he could somewhat agree with Number Seven coming out. If Number Seven did not come out when Azief summons that Wheel and protect Yewa Hafar, there would be to many variables for them to keep track off later.

All in all, he is a genius. There is a sly smile on Loki face as he realized that he had just praise himself to high heaven.

‘I have more important thing to do’

He taps his forehead and he close his eyes as he tries to digest the changes that Number One had done and then he nodded to himself. 

All of Number One experience, his feeling and emotions all now become Number Two experience, feeling and emotions.

‘I don’t know what Azief would do after he find out that I take the blame for him. He might seek for me. Or he might also confess that he is the one that started it all’

There is a smile on Loki face. 

‘But my plan is quite foolproof. Even if he confesses, it would be useless since everyone would only think that he is trying to protect me’ Sighing he said

‘And the general trend of the era is blowing toward him so the Great Power would only support the current narrative. There are only merits and no demerits in me taking the blame. Even Hirate understood this. Even if the other great power learns of the real truth, they would think of the greater good and will not try to drag Azief down to the mud. Because then they have to fight Pandemonium’ 

He laughed at his own thoughts and said

‘But, Azief had always been a bit unpredictable. I wonder what he would do.’ The wind blows, the flowers blooms, the grass grows and the clouds above his head move.

Nature is changing in a rate of speed that is incredible 

Loki closes his eyes for a second, like he wanted to take it all in. 

Then he opens back his eyes. Loki then look toward the direction of that hill 

He could only see blurry images of the hill and the people around the hill. The chaotic energy sis till not yet fully disperse from around the world.

‘And, I think he would be busy with Katarina matters’ Like Will, Loki know what Azief would do. Azief would surely go to the Seresian world to save Katarina even if it’s a trap.

Katarina is after all one of Azief greatest love. Her and Sofia. This tangled relationship between them would take hundreds of years.

And even after the death of Katarina, this tangled relationship did not end. As Sofia eloquently put it, she could not fight someone that is idealized in Azief mind. 

How could she fight a dead person? And because of that, even before fighting Sofia had lost.

All the memories that Azief had of Katarina magnified after her death. Regrets and longing of a person that is already dead, an emptiness that Sofia could not fill because Azief would not let her.

It is quite a tragic story.

Loki sighed. 

‘Now, is not the time to worry about him. I need to worry about myself first’ he thought to himself as he scours his sleeve with his hand.

Weirdly, his hand seems to enter into another space dimension when he put his hand inside his large sleeve.

A few second later he found what he was looking for. He brought out a pouch. The pouch had runic inscription on it. He opens the pouch and inside it is millions of items. This pouch had already been modified with space magic making it able to store even a whole planet inside it.

Loki look at the many things inside his pouch and put his hand inside his pouch and a second later he brought out an octagonal plate with inscription on it. 

The octagonal plate is blue in color

He then taps a few of the inscription like he is inputting a command on command prompt of the computer. 

The octagonal plate shines and glows and then on the flat plate that did not have anything before, a holographic projection rises up showing a location

‘Phew’ Loki thought to himself. 

‘It is unscathed’ he thought to himself. He was actually quite confident of his creation but there is always a chance of something to go wrong. Thankfully, it did not.

‘So, it had move to the other side of the world. Haish. Azief really overdone it this time. Though, I should count my blessing. At least it was not destroyed.’ The holographic projection that appeared shows a location.

It is the location of Loki secret prison. 

Nowhere Land. That is the name of the prison. Only a few people in the world knows that this prison exist and fewer people knows its name

This prison before the expansion of the world was deep below the surface of the island in Jan Mayen in Denmark 

A prison that is made by using the mixture of certain soil found in the Bubble Land. Most of the spells and formation that protected the prison has already been torn apart.

But there is still a few of them that remains intact. Loki knows he needs to repair all of that later.

There is also the fact that certain part of the prison had been destroyed. This has something to do with the fact that it disengages itself from its original location and all the ley lines of the island that was connected with the prison had been severed.

Its concealing abilities however remain intact. Loki shudders to think what would happen if this prison is found by Azief. Most of Loki secrets might be exposed.

Most of the time, any changes to the world, this prison, be it tall water that came crashing down or the quaking sea bed trembling, it remains unaffected. 

It is maintained by some invisible force that was undeterred and unmoved. But, with the Multiversal Convergence, even his prison could no remain completely unscathed from it.

Loki nodded to himself. 

‘I need to lay low.’ That is his plan right now. Then he said to himself, like he is reminding himself

Around him, there is an aura of time. 

Ancient and at the same time do not exist. Loki is not supposed to exist in the first place. 

Or to be more accurate, should not exist yet. 

He comes from the future, at least his mind was. 

So, the Time Correction which is mystical and mysterious in nature is trying to correct this anomaly that to “it” is something that is wrong in the fabric of reality

And this is unlike some time traveler who come to the past using technology, manipulating Time using science and physics. The way that Loki and his friends did it, they were using magic. If someone uses the laws of physics to bend the laws of time and space, they would also be constrained by the laws of physics.

Loki uses magic to do what he is doing now. he too is constrained. But not by the same laws that a person might be constrained under the laws of physic.

Since he uses magic, then constraining him is also magic. But, because of the runes that is present all around him, it protects him from the correction force of Time

And the force of this Time Correction is more concentrated toward Number Seven. But Loki felt it for a moment and he could only ignore it

‘I also need to make contact with the Broker. I have to seek Riana’ he mutters to himself, making a note in his mind

Riana is the one closest to the Broker and also one of his subordinate

If there is anyone in the world that knows where the Broker is, it would be Riana. If he is not mistaken, those two people share quite the close relationship.

Riana must be in Pandemonium right now or under the orders of the Pandemonium. After all, Loki was the one that told them to help Pandemonium. 

He knew Pandemonium would not be able to handle all the demonic soldiers if he did not send some help.

But, Loki could guess that those three sisters would know what to do after hearing the news that he was the one that was responsible for the Multiversal Convergence

Riana did not betray him. But she is not entirely honest with him either. Riana after all is no his slave. And he had never taken in Riana to make her be a slave. 

He shakes his head.

‘They would know how to run before they got caught by Azief’ Loki is one hundred percent sure that Azief might capture the three sisters to force him to come out.

Those three sister would also know that would happen.

Loki is quite sure that he would be hunted by all the great powers after this. The only way for him to survive and evade capture is to forge an alliance.

There are some hidden forces that he hid that would be of help to him. 

He also knew some mercenaries, some faction of the criminal underworld that would help him in his endeavor of eluding capture by the great powers of the world.

The Broker is in his List. Then he thought of another name. Ezzio the Inventor. He smirks and said to himself

‘Ezzio might not be eager to see me again’ Loki did not forget that he had once captured Ezzio to give him the location of that Orb.

But maybe Ezzio had changed. After all, he got all the stash of the treasure that belongs to the Merchant King.

It did not replace his family, true, but being sad while being rich is better than being sad while being poor.

He has lots of enemies. But he also has a lot of partners. 

He smiles and he laughed

‘This time I have a lot of time to prepare. It is not long now that Azief would reach Sovereign level. Then it would be the Age of the Sovereigns. Before that era comes, I need to plan a lot of things before I could reach the Origin’

Then taking a deep breath, he once again put the Helm of Invisibility on top of his head and then he flew toward the direction of Nowhere Land as the world calms down.
