Lord Shadow

Chapter 1037: For whose benefit

The signal had gone off. She shakes her head

‘Going have to do this right’ she mutters to herself

Right now, most of the world power had their communication cut off.

Other than some few people who have powerful abilities to contact other people in other continents like Hirate, most people in the world right now have no way of communicating with each other.

But Loki somehow is able to send signals tens of tens of thousands kilometers away, unaffected by the storms of energy or the density of the energy that is filling up the world

That is in itself is remarkable. But as Trisha had learned, she knew better than to question Loki the origins of all of this technology.

Regardless of all of that, she had received the signal.

‘Lord Loki had finished his preparations there. I just have to make sure that there is not mistake in my part’ she reminded herself.

She began looking at the circle she had made inside the large cave.

On the walls of the cave, there is runes.

These runes that Trisha had carved using a special carving knife all had space and time properties.

Even just looking at the runes one could sense the power of the Laws of Time and Space.

On the ground, there is a circle. These circle is overlaid with matrixes of other circles that overlapped with each other.

inside each of these circles, are runes, hieroglyphs and symbols. There is strengthening runes. Bonding runes. Pulling and pushing runes. And many others.

Most of them are runes that made it able to combine so many different principles of array formation that come from different methodology

She took a walk and look at the walls and the ground and she nodded to herself, satisfied. She had check it for the third time. There is no mistake.

She did not build this array in the open space because she fears that some people would be able to see her.

Death Monarch might be in seclusion but not the other two.

Lord Loki said to her that Jean will not have extra power to look over Pandemonium while he is maintaining the portal toward the Seresian world

However, the same could not be said for Hikigaya.

No one knows what he is doing right now. She then sat on one of the stone boulder inside the cave and waited.

She hopes that Loki would not punish second sister that bad. And then she sighed.

‘As long as my lord did not go overboard, everything would be fine’ She convinced herself. Then closing her eyes, she waited for another signal to come

In Pandemonium, right now, as the surge of power radiated outwards, it creates a massive powerful shockwave that flatten the forest in the radius of a thousand kilometers.

The monsters and gigantic beast nearby was also affected as they flee from the area as fast as they can.

The sound of explosion echoes endlessly.

Sasha who is in the sky right now, now flies without obstruction. Her speed become even faster as the premonition of something bad is about to happen resonate strongly in her heart

The beating of her heart, this feeling of uneasiness that spreads all over her body, this is without a doubt, a premonition.

Something bad is going to happen. And because of this feeling of uneasiness, her speed become faster.

The clouds parted, the wind split apart and sonic boom echoes in the sky

Without no obstruction of the green mist, Sasha arrives in front of that safe house a few minutes later.

She stopped in the air, creating a blast as she stopped suddenly. Another sonic boom exploded in the sky as the air around her seems to be distorted.

She frowned the moment she arrives near the house. She looks down at the house and click her tongue

‘Am I…. too late?’ she thought to herself. Taking a deep breath, she then landed slowly to the ground.

There, in front of the house, there is someone looking at her. She narrowed her eyes. She did not need anyone to introduce that person to her

As she walks closer to that person, and she could see that person more clearly she is confident that person is none other than Loki the Trickster.

Only he would be this elegant and calm in such a situation. And he is the only that could have come here faster than her.

Loki come with a new face this time. She smiles. It is not the first time she had been dealing with the Trickster.

A new face, a new style, every time they meet.

Maybe that is why he is so hard to read.

Loki wears what looks like some kind of a tailored high end three-piece suit, with a marron tie that complement the blue windbreaker over his suit.

On top of his head, there is a fedora that complete this style of him that make him look imposing just by standing there.

There is a sense of calmness around Loki, a smile on his face, with a glint of mischief in his eyes. he wears a leather shoes, clean even when all around him seems to be the painting of chaos.

Trees cracking on its seams, dead birds and monsters, cracked earth and smell of soil like it caught on fire, all could be seen, heard and smell all around him

A picture of chaos.

Yet, in that picture, Loki seems to be standing in the center of it, like some kind of focal point of the painting, unaffected by all of it.

This time he dressed in a way that makes him look intimidating, imposing and elegant all at the same time.

‘Like his brother, he sure likes to pressure his opponent even before they talk to each other’ she thought to herself as she comes closer to Loki

There is no longer any green mist in the area. It seems to disappear completely.

Sasha is puzzled but she knew this must have something to do with the sudden surge of energy a couple of minutes ago

Loki had done something.

And because of that she became even warier. She tries to spread her Divine Sense. But the moment she did that, she frowned and her body trembles a bit.

Her eyes narrowed

‘Too chaotic’ she mutters under her breath.

In that moment when she tried to spread her Divine Sense, her Divine Sense bounced back from the area and she almost suffer an effect from a backlash of energy.

Fortunately, she did not force it.

Whatever Loki had done, it creates an unstable space and time around the area. And it is not some simple distortion which would go away in a few minutes.

This is a strong distortion of Laws.

The energy had distorted the concepts and laws of the world around here, from the laws of time and space, and also the elements.

She looks back at Loki, wonder what this Trickster is planning to do.

There is a broken house and in front of that broken house is Loki. The house itself seems to be hanging by a thread

Some of the house pillars is standing only by some kind of illusory green pillars that probably was made by Loki green mist.

If that were not there, then the house might already all crumbled.

And Loki was not alone. There is the Broker floating in the air, with chains around his hand and feet, floating weakly beside Loki

Nathan seems to be in a trance state, his eyes shows whites. There did not seems to be any response from him

Around the house is the scene of utter destruction. There are no clouds above the area. And there is a deep rift behind Loki. Half of the house had fallen into that rift, while the other half is teetering on collapsing.

All around, tears of time and space could be seen with the naked eye.

Sasha was puzzled.

There is many question in her head. But the most important question of them all, is Why wait? Why wait for her?

Loki smiles that charming smile towards her.

‘Sasha, we meet again. It has been a long time since I see you’ There is a smile on his face that would charm almost anyone.

That is the allure of Loki the Trickster. His face is a mask, and it is the same for his words and his demeanor.

All of it is a mask, to hide his true intention. Most people would be disarmed by his smile. So enchanting, so alluring, but Sasha is not anyone

She knew better than anyone how dangerous the smile of this man is. Tricks, secrets and lies. That is what Loki is. Everything about him is a lie.

To trust him when you are his enemies, his obstacle, is not a wise decision. And she also knew that the reason why he said that is not simply him being happy seeing her.

He had been hunting her for the six years.

One could imagine that Sasha mood at seeing him is quite complicated. She wanted to stop him from doing something that there is no going back from.

But at the same time Sasha herself is not quite fond of Loki. But she knew to ignore her personal feud with this man and focused on the more important thing.

Sasha narrowed her eyes and then she sighed

‘Loki…you do not have to do this. Death Monarch had declared protection for you. Stop. Come with me to the Palace. No one is going to die today.’

And then she added

‘Doing this…. will not benefit anyone’ Loki chuckles
