Chapter 916: Odin the wise open his eyes

'And, I am here to give you a heads up'

'A heads up? About what?'

'This time, Odin had bet on you. Or to be more accurate, he bets on Azief.'

Peter did not understand.

'Teacher, what do you mean?' Loki was at a loss of how he should explain this. Odin had left Asgard. No one knows of this except him

The one sitting on that throne of Asgard right now is merely an avatar of his to calm the populace of the Eight Realms

He knows the disappearance of Odin because Odin had told him what he was going to do before he went out form the Eight realm

After all, he was the one that help Odin break from his slumber and give him some clues.

Now, Odin is actively trying to break the chessboard.

Probably like Loki, Odin is also tired of always doing the same farce again and again.

He had to keep watching the same thing happening, seeing his family dying, seeing the people he loved dying and having to make enemies with friends, trapped by the chains of destiny and fate

Odin respected Destiny and Fate before. But after eons, there is only fear and dissatisfaction. Maybe, Odin had gone crazy. Maybe, he no longer cares about the fates of the Eight realms.

And so he could make this bet.

Not sure whether Yu Wang would follow or Zeus who had sealed his own memories would also follow Odin crazy bet.

Whatever the case was, Odin is now making his own plans that is different from what he is supposed to do. Without Odin, Ragnarok could not be completed.

It is not as easy as one would think, to try to break the chessboard. It is easy to say it but it is hard to execute it.

if it's that easy, Odin would have already broken through the narrative of Ragnarok. But he couldn't break it all of those eons.

Odin had the memory of the past Timeline.

He roughly knows what would happen.

And he knows that the End is always about Azief. that mortal that had created a bond between him and the Destroyer, tightly connecting their fates together.

It had something to do with the Rings. But it also had something to do with the Path that Azief is walking.

In the past timeline, it is because the Laws and the Domain that Azief had practiced that strengthen the connection of fate and destiny between Azief and the Destroyer.

There are also the rings that Azief had worn that double the connection.

But now, Azief had strengthen it by triple fold by not only having the rings, practicing the laws and domains that is compatible with the Destroyer, Azief had also walk the path of Perfection…. just like that certain Being

Now, the connection is even more tightly connected.

Odin is very interested. And since he is interested, he would investigate it.

He could only sigh as Loki explain the matter to Peter.

Odin had awakened from his slumber. That is shocking enough.

But when he heard that his teacher said that Odin is interested in Azief, hearing this, Peter face suddenly change colors.

From what he remembers, Odin went into slumber and had never woken up even after hundreds of years. After Peter become a Sovereign he did come near Asgard again.

There were many things that he wanted to learn at that time.

As Sovereign, he had the ability to easily leap through dimensions and easily bypass some of the restriction of the Bifrost because of his tutelage under Loki

He did not go beyond the Source Wall. But he was on one of the planets under the periphery of the Aesir.

At that time, he had heard that Odin is still in slumber waiting for Ragnarok to come. Peter thought to himself that this is another change to the timeline.

He of course had expected Odin to remember.

Though, he did have some slim hope that Jean had manage to thoroughly changes the timeline without anyone remembering, he was prepared with the possibility of a few of those Supreme Being that is inside the Source Wall to remember

But it is clear he underestimated the powerful beings in the Omniverse.

However, even though all of this shocking, it did not make Peter fearful. But when his teacher said that Odin is betting on Azief, he was scared.

Because, he did not know what Odin would do. And with Peter current strength. He could not stop Odin doing from doing whatever he wanted to.

He did not have the ability to stop him

If his teacher is right and Odin went crazy and try to kill Azief, then all of his effort would go to the drain

That is the simplest solution…if they do not know how Destiny and Fate operates.

That is almost impossible for Odin who probably knows and is acquainted more deeply with Destiny and Fate than Peter

Peter believe that Odin knows how fruitless that attempt would be. It is not a matter of whether Odin could kill Azief or not. It is whether it would be beneficial or not.

Killing Azief would not change the ending. Instead it might even accelerate it. Destiny and fate would make a correction

The more you pushed it, the more it fought back. There must a subtle move to force Destiny and Fate to move according to your plan

Peter believed that Odin would understand this and as such the possibility of Odin targeting Azief to kill him would be very low.

But, even though such possibility is almost impossible, the moment that thought flashed inside his mind, Peter could not help but feel shaken.

There are too many variables now. And while he likes variables that would make Yewa Hafar job of trying to steer fate and destiny back on track, there is variables that he did not like.

And that kind of variables is where he had no power of controlling that variables.

Most of the variables that happened during the Time Crisis, is still something that he could manage

But it is different if that variable is Odin

Odin is not some third rate villain that he could kill with plotting. And even if Peter had his Sovereign level power, it is still not an easy task to fight against Allfather

This is an ancient powerhouse with the knowledge of all the runes in existence.

A bonafide supreme being with unlimited power.

Peter sighed. Now, he has a new problem to deal with. Yewa Hafar is enough to keep him busy and now even Odin come into the picture. He is too tired for this shit.

He looks at his teacher and then ask

'Odin…. how much did he remembers?' Peter had hoped that his teacher would say that Odin remembers only a portion of what happened in the other Timeline, but Loki said

'Everything' Hearing this Peter shakes his head. Then he said

Even if he had woken up from his slumber, I don't think it matter much to my plans. He could investigate Azief all he wants. I think Odin knows that it is not good if he meddles too far. And I believe he would not be stupid enough to try to kill Azief.

Loki laughed and said

'Odin would not be called the Wise, if he had planned to kill Azief. I know what you are worried about. That won't happen. But, as for the idea that he would not matter much to your plans, I urge you to reconsider. Because from what I know, he would be very much matter'

Then Loki said

He wants to meet with Azief'

Peter narrowed his eyes

'I would stop him' Peter said.

Loki only smiles and he said

'Trust me, Odin is as crafty as me and he is also adept at transformation magic. He would meet Azief whether you wanted it or not'

Peter did not know what to say to that

Loki then continue saying

'This would surely create another change in your plan right. I know that you would not want to come out often from your safe place since Time Correction would try to alter the memories in your mind. But I think your soul fragments, need to know that there is a new variable at play. This is a reminder'

'I myself don't know what Odin is planning to do by meeting Azief. But, I bet you that this time, it would not happen the way it did before. You are my disciple. And, regardless of what you think of me, I sincerely hope that you would be able to succeed'

The wind blows around them and the song of the birds is still playing. But peter could not be as calm as before.

Hearing this Peter become alert. Odin, the Lord of Aesir want to meet with Azief? This is something that he could not predict.

Loki smiles and he said

'Many being in the Omniverse is paying attention to Azief right now. Time God did quite a good job in reversing time. But…. there is a few that is immune to that effect. That is all I want to say'

Peter nodded. Loki after making sure that Peter had listened to his word, he said

'I would not see you again. Though, I think we will meet again later, don't you think?' And he smiles

'I doubt you would remember later' Loki said. Peter understood what his teacher is implying.

'If I did not calculate wrongly, you still have to return to the origin, right?' Loki said to Peter. Peter nodded.

Then he smiles a bit. He looks at Loki and then he said

'I hope that when that time comes, you would accept me as your disciples once again. This time, go easy on me.' Loki hearing this chuckles and he said

'Of course. Who could be more worthy to become my disciple then you who make mischief all over the Omniverse?' Loki said, his eyes shining with a glint of mischievousness.

Peter smiles slightly.

'I would probably be a little bit unruly this time around' Loki simply said

'I am ready for that' Peter laughed a bit. Loki then hear a sound. And he knows it is time for him to return.

'It is time for you to go now'

Peter understood. Peter took a moment and he look at the garden again. The sky above his head is like the beautiful star system and the sight on his front is full of beauty.

'This is a beautiful place' He was silent for a second and then he said

'I am kind of envious of you Teacher'

Loki simply said

'Well, maybe someday you would help me in sowing the seeds' Peter shake his head and said

'That's not the life for me. I like the chaos.' Loki laughed.

'Yes, kind of expected that you would answer it that way'

Then Loki waves his hand and Peter was sent away, turning into motes of light. Peter had returned but into that sealed dimension

It took him a little time before he slowly opened his eyes

Loki had returned back to his body. The runic formation all over the sealed dimension glows brightly as it is strengthened again with Loki back on his throne.

Loki eyes is shining with brilliance and runes could be seen inside his eyes.

The moment he returns he got up from his throne and he knows he need to come out for a second from the sealed dimension to do something

The news of Odin would try to meet Azief unsettled him

'This is a risk' he thought to himself.

The chaotic energy on Earth is disappearing and there is large risk that Time Correction could happen to him if he goes right now.

But he had to take that risk.

Number Two need to know this information. Only then he could make some plans. He could not help but sigh.

This is all new to him. This new timeline is very different than what he had expected.

Now even Asgardians is involved. At least, at that time, in his timeline, the Battle of the End felt like it was isolated from the civilization inside the Source Wall.

But now, Loki learned that it might actually not be so unrelated at all.

Thinking of all that he had seen and all that he had learned, he knew if he did not give this memory to Number Tow, there might be more variables at play and they could no longer control the way this story progresses.

He clicked his tongue as he realizes that the connection between him and Number Two had been cut the moment he returned back to this sealed dimension

Loki took a step and he once again appears out and in that one second, he had send a telepathic message to Number Two.

It takes only one second and then he returns almost immediately back to his sealed dimension.

Loki when he returned back to his dimension, sitting on his throne…. he frowned.

Because he notices that one of his memories was altered.

'Tch. I should have expected it. But still, this is not a good feeling' He click his tongue and he did not know what he should do with this memory that had been altered.

He knew that one of the many memories that he had put deep into his subconscious had been altered. He knew which part of the many memories that is inside his mind that was altered.

There is one fragment of his memories among the tens of thousands of fragments of memories.

Out of those tens of thousands of memories, there is one memory that was altered. Loki could immediately sense it because there is this fuzziness when he tried to recall that memory

The problem was even though he knew which memory was altered, he just doesn't know what was altered

'What should I do?' he asks himself. He is now in a dilemma.

Whether he should keep the altered memory and divine the true original memory or cut it out so that it would not interfere with his thought process in the future.

It is hard choice. Because, this memory is very important. He just doesn't remember why it was so important

He sighed.

'Did Teacher also predict this outcome? Could it be a trap?' But then he shook his head.

He is now becoming to paranoid. This is what happens when one has to any baggage and seeing to many ghost of the past

Number Seven is a colder and darker Loki.

He decided to think about it later as he close his eyes. He laid his back to his throne and began sleeping.

The serpent slither around his throne and a few ravens flew and perch itself on his shoulders.

Loki return to his slumber, protecting his mind from Time Correction as the event of Katarina kidnapping is slowly showing its effect on Earth
