The current Hirate might not like Loki, but at least Loki like the current Hirate. The current Hirate is a bit selfish but Loki like this kind of Hirate more than the self-sacrificing idiot he would become in the future.
As a friend, he would like his friend to live and not suffer from the pain of backlash all the time. There is a Price for everything.
This word could not be more true than in the case of Hirate.
There is a reason why Hirate become so self-sacrificing. The reason is simply because the Hirate of the future understand.
He understands the pain of other people and as such, he become kind. It is very peculiar that it is mostly those who understand pain is usually the kindest.
Of course, there are always those who uses their pain as an excuse to inflict more pain upon others.
But most of the time, when you understand the pain especially in the way Hirate understood the pain of the people he uses his ability on, there is a sense of empathy that blooms.
Getting into people minds, reading their thoughts, seeing their deepest memories, their dreams and fears, how could Hirate were not affected?
That is the price he had paid for getting into people minds. The price was to understand those people even those of his enemies.
A selfless person.
Everyone like a selfless person.
Selfish people like selfless person. Loki reminisce a bit of a future that is no longer there
Hirate had uses all of his power to send Loki mind back to the past in collaboration with Jean.
Jean altered the Laws of time and Space of the omniverse in that one brief second that is allowed to them and Hirate manage to protect Loki consciousness until it arrived at the past.
Those two sacrifice everything they had for the Universe. Loki looking at Hirate glaring eyes could not help but thought of only one thing
He did not want to see more ghost of the past. He wanted to answer the expectation of those old friends.
The expectation of Jean, Sofia, Hirate, Giselle and many others.
Loki look at the Cerebral Enhancement Device with complicated emotions. That device is very powerful but it is also the device that will change his friend.
He could only sigh internally
Hirate never become a Sovereign in the end but that is because the Path to Divinity was teared apart by the other Sovereign.
One could say that he was unlucky to live in such a world where the Path of Divinity was teared apart.
Right now the device is simply not up to par to the standard that Loki had seen, but Hirate would surely improve this device even more.
At least in his timeline Hirate really did that and making this device simply more than just what it is right now
With the amplification power, Mind Master could be considered one of the top tier figure among the Half Sovereign circle in the future.
Loki shakes his head a bit shaking off his thoughts of the past and then look back at Hirate.
Loki is not impatient. He waited for Hirate to answer his question.
He had just asked where he is right now. the who obviously refers to Death Monarch.
It is clear from what Hirate is doing right now that he is searching for his Death Monarch.
Loki of course saw the Law Body and felt the fluctuation of energy that covers the whole world and the act of Seresian soldiers being bound by some invisible force for a few moments when he uses some of his familiar to see the world.
His familiar, the raven and the serpent is at many places right now.
Some of them were disintegrated along the battlefield but there is still some that survive and become his eyes and his ears.
The things that he saw all indicates that Azief had returns from his journey to the future. Loki knows this.
But even though he knew that Azief had return, he did not know where he is right now. His exact position is hard to determine
if this was before, Loki could still rely on his Divine Sense.
But now the energy of the world is too dense and normal Divine Sense, at least his Divine Sense is not powerful enough to cut through the obstruction of the energy of the world and see everything.
If everyone could see everything in the world using Divine Sense, why would there are still so many Crime Alliance members in the world?
Like most people, Loki did not have such a cheat ability like Death Monarch who could use his Heaven Will to see everything in Heaven and Earth.
The other reason is simply because the world is too large now.
The fluctuation of worldly energy coupled with that of all kinds of multiversal energies that seeps in through the broken cracks of reality and the space rips, the energy of the world is now too chaotic.
Like a surging tornadoes, these unseen force fill Heaven and Earth.
Unless one is primarily specialized in detection ability it is hard to direct Divine Sense to cover even a small mountain right now.
That is also one of the reason why Disk Formation levelers is also struggling.
They could still use their Divine Sense but the range is not as large as before.
If it's before they could still see what is happening in the other continent if they focused on their Divine Sense
But right now, they could barely maintain their Divine Sense to sweep through a city.
If the energy is calm, a large city sweep with Divine Sense is not impossible but as of right now, it is hard.
The lands are separated by millions of miles.
Some continent expanded larger than expected.
Some seems to sprout out new mountain swirling with powerful fluctuation of energies, others birthed new islands and all kinds of auspicious lands.
Other created chaotic area of law merging with each other and failing causing all kinds of weird phenomenon
These all contributed to the difficulty of using Divine Sense.
Because of that it is even hard for Loki to sense his brother and whether he is coming here or not.
The only one that had the ability to find Azief right now is probably only Hirate. Because his Psionic ability while similar to that of a Divine Sense it is also different
It is based on the fluctuations of energy, mind activity and those related to that.
If its Hirate he could easily find Azief because the fluctuation of his power would probably look like a shining sun in Hirate Mindscape
The reason for why he wanted to know the location of his brother is simply because he need to prepare for what he is about to do.
He had planned this since the moment he resigns from his position in Pandemonium
Because for what he is about to do, it is something he knows that Azief would not allow him to do.
But it is something he needs to do. The Time Crisis is finally here and he is taking the role that Azief is supposed to take and he had no regret about it
Hirate apparition stand there calmly. Sometimes there is shaking around the room but these two people clearly didn't care about the shaking.
It is clear that the battle above is still going strong.
Then suddenly Hirate apparition close his eyes, his original body seems to be squirming. A second later he opens his eyes and said
