Lord Shadow

Chapter 1740: Confirming Something

Sovereigns are like gods. But to the forces of the world, Sovereigns are like a walking and flying nuclear deterrent.

They are even more powerful than nuclear bomb. This is a bomb that could annihilate galaxies.

A galaxy destroying weapon, a galaxy destroying bomb. A weapon of intergalactic destruction

A war between two sides, a conflict that should not be escalated was escalated when Boris brought his sister into the mix.

Basically, Boris brought out a galaxy destroying weapon in a continental war of mortals.

Boris brought out a goddess to the mortal world

Boris intention might be to restore the faith of the public and the world to the Revolutionary Army but what he didnʼt take account was the moment he brought his sister into the battle, it sends a signal

And it is a very dangerous signal.

There is a reason why before the Fall, even if you have the power to use nuclear weapon, you donʼt use it.

Because once you uses it, that means the old rules of war will be changed and everyone with a nuclear now will not have scruples using it and all of this would lead devastation in an unprecedented level.

In the past, there is also this kind of thing that happened before.

Etiquette and moral collapsed in ancient China...why?

And what is this sentence referring to.

A war before the Spring and Autumn period was quite orderly.

They would decide where to fight and then when the harvest season comes, they would retreat.

Those who lose become slave of the other.

The war between two forces at that time is like a gentleman war.

But then Sun Bin came and overturned all of these conventions and rules and a total war situation is formed.

The war is fought brutally, to the last man, nobles and people is annihilated, village destroyed, cities are sack, etiquette and moral collapsed, the world is full of war, death and destruction.

It is the same during the nuclear age weapon. Nobody wanted to be the first one doing it and open up a Pandora box that could no longer be closed

But Boris was the one that opens this matter.

Boris requested his sister to wipe of the Special Forces of America

Katarina waves her hand and from millions of miles away all of those Special Forces member turns into a statue of ice before they broke and turns into thousands of pieces of ice fragment.

The wind blows by, these fragments melted and turns into mist in the air and all trace of existence is erased.

The matter was simple but the effect of such attack is unpreceded since the God of Death lay down the rules.

A Sovereign enters the war of mortals!

Of course, with such attack, the matters escalated. Raymond was summoned and gods once again enter the world of mortal

Raymond fought Katarina in dark space, his mace is said to chained worlds and uses these worlds like a ball, throwing it to Katarina.

Katarina uses her sword, cutting a sword light that spans galaxies. Each cut destroy a galaxy and brought these galaxies into primordial times.

On Earth, in the world of mortals, the Revolutionary Army sent their army all over the world to destroy the bases of the World Government.

The member nations of the Revolutionary Army participated, and Hirate who at that time wanted the war, mobilize all of their legions.

An unprecedented war between the strongest two world powers kick off

Erika listening to Loki talking about the New World War sighed. Loki could not help but notices it

”Why the long sigh?”

”I think you could scrap this event from the future”

”Why?”

”There is Seven world powers now. And Death Monarch even created one for himself. This would not be like that anymore. And even though the World Government is powerful and the Republic is also powerful, the other world powers is catching up to them”

”The event where two of these powers duking it out with each other, creating such a catastrophe might not happen this time” But Loki only scoffed at this.

”Donʼt be so pessimistic” Loki mutters with a smile.

”You do remember that it took around seven to eight hundred years before the New World War happens. Donʼt underestimate the power of fate and destiny. In seven hundred years, are you really sure that the other five world powers will still be there?”

”You mean the corrective power of fate and destiny?”

And Loki nodded

”Let say that you are right. Let say in eight hundred years the other world powers disintegrated. What about Pandemonium? It would surely not be disintegrated as long as Azief is there. And as we both know; he would be alive until the end. Since that is the case, isnʼt your theory is a bit hard to achieve, Trickster?”

”No” he paused for a second and then added

”This is the difference between you and me. You see the future. But you do not know the people who you watched the future of. I know Azief. Even more now than when I was

Sovereigns”

Erika could not say anything to Loki about this. So, she changes the topic.

”I did hear you always visited him in the Underworld” Loki look at Erika surprised that she would change the topic but she go along with her.

”The Underworld is not as bad as people thought. Go to the corner from the Road that leads to hell, and you would go to a very beautiful and calming fields. I think he got the idea from the Elysium field. And there is also a very beautiful island”

”Ah, whatʼs that girl name again?”

”Annika”

”The girl who loved the God of Death” And Erika only shakes her head.

”It is nothing to love a God, but to love a God that is desired by another Goddess would not end well. These divine beings, unless you yourself are a divine being, then you are screwed”

”If my memory serves me right, she was turned into a black bear by Katarina, didnʼt she? She was jealous that Azief bestowed her divine blessing so she sent her champion to lure Annika

into Her Temple”

Loki nodded.

”Still, I never thought that the God of Death is romantic. Even though she did die, Azief pluck

her soul and bring her to his paradise”

”I met her a few times. A very bright woman”

”Since these things did not happen yet, I believe that you have made some.... plans.”

”I look at Milos”

”Whoʼs that?”

”Annika father. For now, I am just watching. Even though I am no longer in Pandemonium, I still have my people in the government and the military. And it is not like Azief himself prohibited it. After all, he wants me to come back”

”Then just come back”

”You know that is not easy. I think.... Azief knows something. This time if I go back, I might not be able to leave. And if I could not leave, then how could I execute my plan. After all, the

current Azief would not understand”

Then they were silence between these two people. Loki then said

”I think the Wedding would still happen. Sofia is now with Raymond. While she might not like

him now or love him now, we have hundreds of yearsʼ time. At that time, who knows how her feeling would be. Not to mention., the relationship between Sofia and Azief is not like our timeline. Nor is the relationship between Katarina and Azief is like in our timeline”

”This Katarina is more stable” Erika nodded.

”Since certain events in her life had changed.”

Loki paused for a moment and then added

”And the world is not as dark as it is before, inevitably Katarina herself is not as dark as she is.

But.... who knows? Time changes even the most stubborn person. The kind Katarina is Katarina. The cruel Katarina is also Katarina. Who knows what she will be and what she would do? And maybe...” at this Loki smile, like he had found something funny as he look at the sky ”That is better. Maybe it is better that the future is like this. Uncertain”

Hearing this Erika also chuckles.

Erika was about to continue asking about the New World War but then the mood right now is quite good and she did not want to break it so she shakes her head and did not say anything

else.

After all, Loki just wanted to confirm something with her.

And she also wanted to confirm something with him.

She already confirm what she wanted to confirm and since Loki no longer ask her anything about future events, he probably already confirmed what he wanted to confirm

Erika wanted to confirm that Loki splits his souls and his time. Loki wanted to confirm that Erika memories is that of his timeline and not from some other timelines.

Both of them got what they wanted and new plans is already hatched inside their minds.

Since that is the case, there is no need to probe too much.

Enjoy the sky, look at the earth and let the breeze of the new era carry them forward.

Looking at the beautiful vast sky with colors and the expansive world in front of them, there is

this beauty that they nearly forgotten.

Loki did not say anything neither does Erika. They just sit on that stone chair and look toward the distance, an old friend, appreciating the rise and fall of the world.
