Lord Shadow

Chapter 1287 A Large Ripple

She appears in her translucent form. She was first in her office but when she felt the device coming back to the compound she quickly materializes herself in the lab and quickly control the device

The device is emanating a powerful fluctuation of energy that distorts the space all around the lab

ʼIt needs to be recalibratedʼ she said. What she said is basically a command and the eight devices immediately went to its respective places to be reconfigured.

She shakes her head and sighed.

ʼI hope you were able to see my good will, mortal from Earth Primeʼ she mutters to herself.

She seems to have understood something after Azief disappearance act. She looks back on what happen that day and the aftermath and she is quite sure that some things were happening behind her back that day

She is schemed upon.

The only one that could do such a scheme is either the high ranking generals of the military or the Five Seat of Orvan.

The helmet that she gave Azief was perfect. It is even approved by the higher ups. She never thought it was strange that the Five Seat eagerly tries to help Azief and Katarina.

Azief and Katarina has always been people that is under the surveillance of the Orvanian forces, especially Azief that causes an entire Multiversal Convergence to happen.

But, when she thinks about it again, the eagerness of the Five Seats of Orvan is abnormal. She could only sigh that she saw it too late

That is the only few people that could outrank her. She might be an artificial intelligence but she is not some kind of a normal AI.

She had a soul and she had her own thoughts and desires.

Her position is given to her not simply because she is the creation of one of the great Houses in the Orvanians world but also because she had proved that she is capable of bearing the responsibility.

In the few days after the matter, Qarliya did not contact Azief and Katarina.

Instead she quickly sends the necessary device for them to go home. The reason is simply because the Five Seats of Orvan ordered her to do so.

From there she could deduce that something was afoot between the Five Seat of Orvan and she went to the main core of information.

Even though she is now right here, because of her unique existence she could turn herself into an information and this part of herself went to Orvan to seek clues.

This kind of thing is not frowned upon by the people of Orvan. The people of Orvan had always prided themselves as a seeker of knowledge.

So, it did not take long for her to find out what had really happened. After she found out what really happen she really felt bad about it all.

But the sad thig was that even if she knew what was supposed to happen, she might not be able to stop it. It seems that her superior also doesnʼt want to cut off relations with Azief.

There were many things about Orvan that Qarliya had knowledge off. But for some reason, any information about any connection between Azief and Orvan is under classified section.

Other than what she had already knows any other information about Azief is under lock and key.

ʼThis is the only thing I could do to help youʼ she thought to himself.

ʼCalibration completeʼ a voice suddenly echoes inside the lab

Qarliya was brought back out from her thoughts and then she waved her hand and the eight devices materialize in front of her, floating in the air.

She then made a spinning motion with her hand and the eight device disassembled itself and then compressed itself

Then in just a matter of second, the eight devices turn into a bracelet. This bracelet then slowly floated toward Qarliya hands

She held out her wrist and the bracelet flies and fit itself on her wrist.

She sighed.

She looks at the computer screen in front of her eyes. this computer screen is something that only she could see.

ʼmake a scanʼ she mutters and almost a second later, the result of the scan is projected into her mind

What she is looking at is the map of the Seresian world. And what she is scanning for right now is the trace of Katarina and Azief. She also has to trace any anomalies that might arises.

ʼIt seems that nothing is wrongʼ She nodded to herself. She then waves her hand and the screen changes.

ʼnow, I need to report it to the Five Seatʼ she mutters to herself but it is clear she is not liking it. Reporting to the Five Seat of Orvan that is.

It is not a good feeling of being schemed upon. But even though the structure of power of the Orvan is not that strict in hierarchy, that only applies in time of peace

When Qarliya sent her information form back to Orvan, she had learned some disturbing development in the Gatherings.

It seems that Orvan is preparing for a war. However, many of the Elders did not understand why the Five Seats suddenly wanting to declare a war.

The last time a war has been declared was around five thousand years ago, give or take a few thousand years

That time was during the scramble for the All Source. At that time, many of the current United Intergalactic Alliance leaders fought in that war.

Even the Elder of the Universe had to intervene in that war.

While the Orvanians did not engage with Asgard, Olympus, the jade Empire and the few others civilization that fought in that war, it did not mean that the Orvan was not present in that war.

It is only that the way the Orvan participated in that war was different from the way certain people think how a war should have been fought.

Most of the battle of the great leaders or heroes of that war split time and space. Sometimes it even blows up dimension.

That is the war for Orvanians. Sometimes, with such distortion of space and time, creatures that is outside of the purview of time and space would appears

Simply put, it could be considered a monster. Out of the destruction of Time and Space, these monsters were formed.

Killing them would simply erases them. That is one of the few things that happens in thee background of the war five thousand years ago.

At that time, the Five Seat of Orvan declared a state of war against the threat toward the Multiverse.

But now? There is no enemy in the horizon. The Seven powerful civilization that founded the United Intergalactic Alliance is not at war.

So, no one could understand.

The Elders from what she could gather probably would seek an audience with the Five Seat of Orvan to get an explanation.

In a time of peace, even the Five Seat of Orvan is not out of the legal frame of justice.

Of course, since most of the Five Seat of Orvan usually knows the law more than any other person, they usually would not have done anything wrong.

They also rarely move because of the task that they undertake. But if it is in a time of war, the Five Seat of Orvan has vast and almost an unlimited power bestowed upon them to protect Orvanians

Qarliya could not help but think that this declaration of war had something to do with Azief. This is only her premonition.

The way the Five seats of Orvan obsessed on one mortal too suspicious.

Qarliya also knew that to keep on investigating…is dangerous. In times of peace, the Five Seats of Orvan could not do much against her.

But in times of war, she could easily be indicted under nay offences that the Five Seats of Orvan could think off.

Azief probably do not know how an AI think so much of him and doing so many things for him and Katarina.

Qarliya might have the intellect of a supercomputer, but she had the innocence of a child. She had great justice in her heart.

The fact that someone had built her like this and reconcile the intelligence and innocence together is something remarkable in itself.

Qarliya had bonded with Katarina. And then she likes talking with Azief. One might ask why go so far of those two?

Is it simply because of that reason? That she had talked with Katarina and bond with her, feeling like she is the younger sister of Katarina?

That she had talked with Azief and likes conversing with him?

Is that the reason?

Surprisingly enough that is truly the reason. That is what is meant by innocence. To her, those two are good people.

And she didnʼt like that Five Seat of Orvan had schemed against her, making Katarina and Azief wary against her.

It felt like she was wronged. She wanted to prove to Azief that she had nothing to do with what happened to him.

But still that is that. She opens another interface and then she sends all of her intel about the matter toward the Five Seat of Orvan

Apparently, since that happened, she now has direct contact with the Five Seats. After sending the report she could only sighed and shakes her head.

Then she thought of Katarina and Azief and smiles bitterly.

ʼMaybe, I should go out for a while. When was the last time I take my annual leave?ʼ she thought to herself.

It had been a few millions years since she takes any leave.

ʼMaybe it would not be such a bad idea to visit Earth Prime. Sithʼvenar had gone there. And even Sithulran has gone thereʼ Qarliya thinking is sometimes very childish.

ʼAnd I want to hear about what happen to Snow Whiteʼ she mutters under her breath. When she first met with Katarina, Katarina treat her like she was a child. And she likes it.

Because most beings treat her like she is some kind of an information stop center. While she does have the capabilities of being such, she has feelings.

She likes being treated differently when she was with Katarina. And she knew if she wanted to know the ending of the story of Snow White, the information is basically inside her head

Her head is basically the internet. Only the internet in her head covers basically all the information in the Multiverse

In order not to make her go all crazy, there is limitation on her mind, a limiter of sorts. If she wants to know something she still have to seek for it in her mind. It would not just be an inherent knowledge that she have

And even though she could know the ending of the story of Snow White right now, she would not seek it.

She likes the feeling of laying her head on Katarina thighs while hearing her reading the story to her.

It was a feeling like she has a mother. Katarina at this moment did not know that her fate is also changing.

All of this has never happened before. And now that it had happened, things are beginning to change.

One by one, a ripple forms in the calm lake and these ripples are connecting with each other, affected by each other vibrations, a large ripple that shakes the lakes is forming.

Every meeting, every encounters changes fate. Loki efforts, the efforts of those being behind the scenes, it is slowly becoming ripe.

Azief journey to this world might be the most unremarkable journey he had in a long time. He did not fight a world shaking battle in the Seresian world

Most of what he did was nothing too shocking for him. he basically spends six months of his life simply fighting of monsters and living quite a normal life in the Palace like he is some kind of rich person.

The only thing of note was that he learns the connection between the world he had travelled to and how it connects to him.

He simply watches and observe. He did not even break through to the Essence Creation level.

He just watched stories like he was watching a movie. But, off all the things he could have done, his was the most shocking.

It is not shocking to him because he did not know how it all plays out. But, to those who knows, Azief trip to the Seresian world and every move and every experience he had experienced here is something shocking

Because none of this had happened before. Then what would happen when Azief and Katarina returns back to their world?

The road that many beings thought was unbreakable had been broken. And if that is so, then moving forward…...there is a lot to anticipate.

The moment that Azief and Katarina leave this world it indicates that a new story is about to begin. A timeline that have strayed far from the original one

One misstep a day and finally it accumulates to create a storm like this.

Katarina did not know this yet. And Azief also did not know this. But, there are beings that watched this matter with great interest.

And some of them have different feelings seeing what is unfolding.
