Chapter 1803: End of Simulation
For a moment there, there is silence between them.
Loki seems to be savouring the experience.
There is things he could do better. And at the same time, he also notice that his thoughts was replicated perfectly.
He notices it midway of course that he is in a simulation but a more susceptible person would be trapped in that simulation and before they know it, they would already have their determination to fight shatters.
This is also one of the methods of Sovereigns.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
When Sovereigns appears, some people did not even dare to lift their weapons.
One reason is because they are already powerful.
The other reason is because one gaze and all of their thoughts are revealed and they have their heart broken even before they pick up their weapon or throw their first shot.
One gaze and their whole fight is already simulated and someone with a weak mind could not help but think of that simulation and believe that they would lose.
The moment you believe you would lose; you already lost half the battle. Loki look at Azief and then said
"That is just but a calculation. If we really fight, do you think it would really end like that?" Azief did not say anything for a second. He acknowledges this.
Loki thoughts was slightly manipulated by him in that simulation
Other people would not notice but how could Loki not notice? He surely notices it. But he was only thinking this for a second.
Then he simply ask Loki
"Do you want to fight and destroy the sea?"
Loki did not answer instead he looks at the sky above his head. He narrows his eyes. He had been feeling this since some time ago.
When he come out of the Untainted Land, he already felt something different about the Heaven and Earth
It is not about the energy. It is about the Laws. Something changed.
And he could only attribute it to Azief.
"You changed something. Heaven and Earth is different now. There is an additional rule" "You felt it?"
"I think Raymond, Hikigaya and Oreki would also feel it"
"What do you think?" Loki did not answer immediately. Instead, he thinks for a second and then he nodded
"It is good"
Hearing this Azief nodded
Loki is quite far away from Azief right now. After being pushed back, he only retreated around a mile away. One might wonder how could they talk when they are a mile away.
But they could hear each other perfectly. And a mile is a distance that is nothing to them. They could cross that distance in a heartbeat.
And this time, he walk step by step.
His eyes shines like never before. And with each step, the earth trembled slightly beneath his feet.
The earth veins seems to thrum with energy and strengthen him each time he walks towards Azief.
Azief just look at this and he smirks a little
He could tell what Loki is thinking.
Loki did not want to get caught by him.....again
And Azief knows that Loki has more trump card.
During that simulation they had together, maybe in the first half, Loki is already conscious.
And the battle afterwards and the conclusion of that battle, is probably something that Loki let him see.
In the real world however, Loki must have some other methods to counter that sword slash. Even though they did not talk much, these two seems to read each other minds
Azief has some premonitions about Loki and he also knows Loki is from some future.
Azief did not notice it before.
It wasn't until Loki activated the Earth veins that he felt a trace of that energy.,
An energy he knows too well.
It is amazing that Loki could even deceive him.
Deceive the heavens. That no one even felt it and knows that he had broken through to Divine
Comprehension realm.
Azief did not seem to care at all that Loki is coming closer and he could attack him.
As Loki come close toward Azief, the world around them grew eerily still. The winds died completely, yet the sky remains tense and full of actions. There is still
lightning dragon swimming across the clouds, and the roars of thunder did not stop. Ominous red fills the dark red clouds making it looks like the sky is bleeding but as Loki come closer and closer, there is a force from him that pressures the heaven above.
The thunder roars become slower and the crackle of lightning that lit the skies is retreating.
Some of the lightning dragon seems to dissipate and merge with the clouds. The swirling storms around the island seems to pause.
Loki and Death Monarch look at each other. And even though they only stand there, they emanate a kind of invincibility that seems to shroud them.
Azief stands there like Death, like he himself is the embodiments of endings, a figure of grim inevitability; the other, a creature of unpredictability and chaos, the eternal wild card.
Loki stopped a few paces away from Death, his smile widening, though there was something
deeper in his eyes now
Formations. Runes. Hieroglyphs. And Symbols. All of it seems to try to neutralize whatever magic that Azief is casting with his gaze
His voice, smooth as ever, but with an edge of solemnity rarely heard, broke the silence.
"Old friend," he said, his tone both mocking and sincere, "It's been far too long." This time
Loki no longer attack.
Azief did not move, but the world responded to Loki words.
A distant rumble echoed from the sky, and the mist that has disappeared, appear again and
began to coil tighter around the edges of the island, as though it was closing in on them, wrapping the scene in an otherworldly silence.
Loki grin flickered briefly, the faintest trace of something deeper-respect, or perhaps fear.
"You come with all the drama, as always," Loki continued, gesturing lazily toward the
darkened sky.
"Thunder and lightning-what would the others say?"
Still, Azief remained silent, his eyes burning with cold, ethereal light.
He did not need to speak for his presence to be understood.
The entire island stood in the balance of their meeting, the boundary between life, death, and
chaos trembling with anticipation.
Loki's smirk faded slightly, his expression turning serious. He stepped closer, now only a
breath away from him.
Now would be the perfect moment for Loki to attack.
If he want to attack this is the moment.
But just like the three feet distance before, even though he is only a breath away from him,
this small distance is like an uncrossable chasm.
The simulation is not entirely true. However, to call it entirely false is not accurate either.
