Lord Shadow

Chapter 832: The fault in our world



Loki sighed internally thinking of some similarities between this timeline and the other timeline. In that other timeline, this is also the same. 

However, there were certain differences. 

At that time, the world did not know that the World Government had something called the World Gate that enables them to travels across parallel universe.

Each time they travel through this barrier between worlds, it creates a scar. 

In this timeline, the World Government expanded quickly than before and there were so many small details that have changed that slowly affect the bigger picture.

This is one of the butterfly effects that Loki had unintentionally created.

In that other timeline, Azief had found out that while it is true that he was the one that broke the stability of the barriers between reality, the blame alone could not levy solely to him.

But, Azief had never deny that he was the cause. 

That is because regardless of what the others had done to contribute to the collapse of the dimensional barrier and reality, the fact remains that if he did not travel to the future, such tragedy would not happen. 

Azief in that other timeline is cruel and cold, but he is not an entirely an evil person. He was morphed by his circumstances, hunted by all the major factions of the world.

He did what he did to survive. He had encounter betrayal and he had many bad experience dealing with people, and he trusted people only after he verifies it.

As such, he values loyalty…above all else. 

In that other world, there is no such thing as the Seven Great Powers to regulate the power that be in the world.

There is a few superpower faction and there many other factions that was not regulated. 

Jean did not say anything. 

There was silence between them for a while. 

Behind Loki, the fleet is already lights up but they still could not engage their drive. And there is movement in the largest ship of the fleet. 

A ship name Intisar seems to be the one that is the first to regain power. 

But it still could not engage in all the other drives.

It is the ship where Sith’venar is on. 

He is on the front deck and while he did not recognize Loki, he recognizes Jean, the Left Chancellor of the Republic of the Free World.

Most people called the Republic the Republic. But the full name of the organization is called the Republic of the Free World. 

In the beginning it was called the Republic of the Revolution but then after a Senate meeting the name was changed.

Sith’venar had listed the organizations and factions that ruled the world and the Republic is one of that organization. 

He was already frowning when Jean appeared. It is clear that Jean could travel very easily through space and time. 

Sith’venar could break through the reinforced glass and fly by himself to Earth.

But he alone is not enough to constrain a Type Nine Being. There is also the fact that the engine is not yet able to be engaged.

The generator could only bring back the lighting system and not the other drive like the shield drives and the offensive weapons system drive.

And while he would survive the coldness of space and the pressure of the stars and the radiation of the suns and other dark matter energy that is present in the Universe, not everyone in his ship are all like him.

Some of the people are not all military personnel specialized in combat. 

Some of them are engineers and builders, people who could not fight but is integral to the maintenance of the ship.

As such, he held off his urge to just break the glass and fly down to Earth. 

There is also that person still floating there and how knows what kind of weapon he still has in his sleeve?

There is also another possibility that even if he come down to Earth, he would not be able to help much by his lonesome

if he uses his true power on Earth Prime, then the All Source would have oppressed him.

They have a method to not made the All Source target them but the moment they break out from that restriction that they put in their bodies, Orvanians would probably be suppressed heavily by the All Source. 

The All Source is not just an object that you could just use.

It is a treasure that has a Will. 

It is that for that reason, none of the Seven Intergalactic Power had united the World Orb before even though each one of them have the fragment of the All Source. 

It is very dangerous.

To Sith’venar it appears that the relationship between the Left Chancellor of the Republic was not amiable with that person who had just obstruct his fleet from delivering aid to Earth.

But it is not a relationship of enemies either considering that Jean did not attack that person.

He keeps watching it. 

A gulf of psionic energy line separated the distance between the unresponsive fleet from Loki and Jean.

Jean sighed and then he said to Loki

‘You want the world to believe that you are the one responsible for the Multiversal Convergence?

He shakes his head and said

‘If what you said is true about Death Monarch, then even if you say you are the one that causes this Multiversal Convergence, if he come out to the world and said he is the one that is responsible then everyone would believe him and not you’

Loki shakes his head again and simply said

‘It won’t work like that’ Jean frowned and Loki simply said

Right now, at this very moment, Hirate is sending a telepathic message to all the world faction leaders that the one who is responsible for the Multiversal Convergence is me’

Smiling he continues

‘Even if Azief come out later saying that he is the one responsible in an attempt to clear my name, the people of the world would only think that Death Monarch wanted to shield his little brother. 

‘Everyone in the world knows that Death Monarch is someone that treated brotherhood very important. And I could make another argument that the people of the world would believe.

And that is if he is really the one responsible for the calamity of the Multiversal Convergence why is he using all of his power to save the people of the world?’

‘That is because he is the one that cause this in the first place!’ jean said 

‘Yes, but the world would not believe so. They would see a hero. And they would rather believe that Azief is a hero than believe that he is this villain. Because it is not beneficial at all to make him the villain’ 

‘Even before this, Azief was a hero, a guardian, a protector. People fear him and yet at the same time wishes to be protected by him. They fear his power in time of peace but needed his power during time of war. Since I already confessed, the sinner would be me. And Azief would remain the knight in the shining armor’

‘I….’ Jean was trying to think of a reason to tell Loki that this is wrong. 

Like Hirate, he knew what would happen to Loki the moment he takes this blame. 

Regardless of the truth, if Loki confess to this matter, taking the blame for Azief, then the world power has no choice but to hunt him down and put him down.

Loki understood Jean concerns and he simply said

‘The world could not survive a war with my brother’ Loki simply said and then he added ‘But the world could survive a war with me’

Jean shakes his head and sighed. he clearly does not know what to do now.

‘It is better to have him by your side’ Loki said. 

Jean knew Loki is speaking facts. 

But he felt a bit of pity for this trickster. Loki probably had done all he could do to contain the demonic creatures in the Island of Peace.

He had sacrifice his blood and sweat but no one would know of this. 

no one would remember his deed. People would only remember him as the person who had initiated the single worst disaster since the Fall.

Jean then ask

‘What about Hikigaya? He also knows the truth’

‘Hikigaya is a practical man. He would understand that lies is sometimes needed to keep up the peace. The lie would make Earth stronger. But the truth would create a rift between Pandemonium and the world and might plunge the world into a great conflict between the Great Powers. Which one do you think Hikigaya would choose?’

Jean was speechless. 

Then he thought of all the things that Loki had done after Death Monarch returns to Earth and he slowly sees a pattern

‘You…. could you have foreseen all of this? is that why you suddenly cut of all ties with Pandemonium?

Loki smiles a knowing smile. 

‘I could still reveal the truth if I wanted to by capturing you’ Jean suddenly said.

Hearing this Loki laughed.

‘You could try. And even if you could capture me…is the truth really the best for everyone right now?’ 

‘You knew it too that is why you didn’t immediately capture me after you heard me saying that I want to take the blame for my brother. Even in your mind, you knew that it is the most acceptable ending of this matter’

Jean hesitated before Loki suddenly punch toward Jean.

It was so sudden and so unexpected but Time suddenly acted as Jean opens his eyes wide and Time and Space around him was affected.
