Lord Shadow

But for Oracles, the moment they were bind by the Will of Borgan, their fate is not of their own

It did not matter what choice they make, it did not matter how is their personality because once they become a clairvoyant and once they could access the Wil of Brogan, they already slowly walking to become the instrument of fate and destiny.

Destiny and Fate would then be able to do anything they wanted to their instrument. Whether to play it like a fiddle or to throw it away.

And Erika surely did not want that. She would not be so indignant if the future is not that bleak. 

But she had lived the era. 

She had lived the era of the Sovereigns. 

She had seen the Battle for the Divine Throne. She had seen the Civil War between the Sovereigns and she had seen the End of All.

As such, why would she wanted to be the instrument of fate and destiny that leads to that future? 

This time she would succeed because there is no other way than to succeed. It is a battle she could not lose and must not lose

And because she knew what Azief would become, her eyes which would be connected to Azief would also grows. 

Even though, the eye is on Azief eye socket, it would nourish the ability of Erika.

Erika in the other timeline have other reason for giving her eyes to Azief 

The other Erika actually uses her eyes that was transplanted to Death Monarch eyes to see the world through the eyes of the Sovereign. 

It is why Erika knows so much about the many secrets of the Omniverse.

That is the other reason why Erika give her eyes. 

When Azief does reach Sovereign level, at that time, her left eye would also experience a level up in power and she could see even more

Erika eyes is bleeding profusely like a dam had just been broken. 

But unlike other people in Disk Formation that would bleed golden, her eyes bleed red. More changes are happening around the island as Erika is determined to gouge out her eye

The entire island seems to be slammed by a powerful force as all around the one hundred kilometer radius of the Oracle, a shockwave suddenly exploded, flattening the forest and cracking the hard ground 

But Azief just stand there, two feet away from the Oracle, unmoving, the area around his feet was not affected at all.

The force might be powerful to other people but when it falls onto him, it disintegrated almost immediately like an egg being thrown onto a boulder of rock

That force was the result of the clashing between two Wills. 

And Azief eye narrowed as he could see that the other Will, this Will that seems to have the power of governing over the intangible concept of Oaths and Promises had won

‘So, it could be manipulated like that’ he thought to himself. 

Erika must have racked her brains to escape herself, to ease the burden of fate and destiny upon herself

The moment that Will of oath and Promises had won, thunder boom in the sky, and green and purplish lightning seems to flash around in the sky before it dissipated a second later.

And Erika howls to the sky as her finger dug deep into her left eye. The restraining force she had felt before had eased and now is the right time to remove her eye

The pain that she is feeling right now is hard to describe. She could feel the veiny veins of her eyes slithering on her finger.

It felt like she had just pierced her eyes with a sharp object.

Her vision on her left eyes blurred as red blood drips form the area, falling to the ground like rain

She laughed at that time even when her body is trembling under the pain. She felt like she had reverted back during the time before the Fall.

She was always accustomed to pain. With each vision, her body had been conditioned to withstand pain. 

Even before she got the memory of her future self, she was accustomed to pain when she tries to e see the future and suffering backlash because of it

But, the pain she is feeling right now exceed any pain she had even felt before. 

The feeling of this pain consumes her. 

She howls to the sky and laugh at the sky. She howls because she is in pain. And she laughs also because of the pain. She was like a madman.

The feeling of pain is like her skin is being shredded slowly. 

At the same time, she felt like her head is being smashed repeatedly by a hammer, and she felt that her entire internal organ s is being melted

There is a feeling of coldness on the soles of her feet, feeling like she got a frostbite. 

While on her heart, there is this feeling that someone had just boiled her chest inside a hot boiling water.

That is the feeling of pain as she dug even deeper into her eyes. 

When her finger had felt the edge of her eye socket then as snot come out of her nose, blood dripping from her eyes, her body trembling and her mouth shouting to the sky, she yanks her eyeballs out from her eye socket

And the most heart rending screams of pain was produced. 

This is the source of an Oracle power and so one could not understand the pain that Erika is experiencing unless you are also a clairvoyant that made the same choice as her.

the moment the eyeball was yanked out it felt like Erika yank out a part of her soul. Her skin wrinkles and her life force was drained out of her.

It appears like Time was also yanked out from her, her life force seems to leak out from her wounds and she looks like some old woman in her nineties.

Thunder appears again, dark clouds gather, unnatural phenomenon surrounded the island. 

If this was before the expansion of the world, the whole world would notice this phenomenon. 

But now because of the distance of each continent, unless someone is near this island, no one would notice this unnatural phenomenon.

The pain lingers as she looks at her hand with her left eye 

On the palm of her left hand is her eyeballs which is twitching and its vein is like some kinds of worms that wriggles. 

There is a swirling aura of greenish purplish aura around that eyeball.

It is a bit different she thought to herself.

What she is referring to is of course, the vision of where she presented her eye to Death Monarch

It is a bit different. But the result is the same. This is the vision that she had seen countless of time before.

Gouging her eyeballs and giving to the man shrouded in darkness.

And now, she knows that she would whisper something to the ears of that man and she would smile saying it

She had seen it all before. All of this has happened before and it looks like it would happen again.

She smirks thinking of this

And she instantly knows what she would say. She first thought she would say the prophecy that is singing in her mind 

There is actually a Song that came to her. This Song had been sung since Time beginning. But, at that time no one knows the meaning of this Song

It is the Song of the End. It sings many Songs and there is as many prophecies as there is stars in the night sky

The Song of the End, begins with the Beginning. To her, it sounded like all Oracles, all Seers and all Norns and clairvoyants all across the Omniverse had sung this song

It sings about the prophecies of the countless worlds and universes. It spoke about many heroes and heroines all over the Omniverse, the fate of their Universe and its destiny.

And one song came in particular to her. 

It is a Song about Death Monarch. 

It spoke about him losing his Joy which she interpreted as the death of Katarina, it spoke of him sitting in a Great Throne overseeing the world and she interpreted this as Azief ascension to Sovereign in the future, it spoke of him fighting a great demonic beast and to this Erika smiles

She of course knows which part of this prophecy it refers to. 

This without a doubt refers to the event of the New World War where Azief would fight the Sarohian Beast

The Song then spoke more about the future, but the longer she heard it, the painful it became for her. This Song is a Song of Fate and Destiny and there is always a price for listening to such song

Since she already knows what would happen in the future, there is no need to hear the song till the end.

She chose not to listen and the Price did not strike her. This is possibly because she already knows what would have happened 

The Song faded and she knew what she could said to Death Monarch to fulfill his desire for a prophecy.

but then a sentence came to her, like some kind for revelation and she knew the words she need to say. 

A word that is more impactful than the prophecy that she was about to say. Still holding her eyeball, she come closer to Azief. 

The words are at the tip of her tongue.

Azief did not come forward but he did not retreat backward either. He waited for her and then when they are in front of each other, Azief frowns as he looks at the empty eye socket of Erika. 

It is like a watermelon that had been gouged out of its content. Blood, red blood is dripping from the eye socket to cover the left part of her face

Then she leans in close to his ears and whispers the words

‘She will be your downfall. Mark my word, O God of Death; she will be your downfall. And you will be her’s.’
