Lord Shadow

Chapter 1227 - Playing With Time

It is like the feeling when someone you know dies and some stranger dies.

The feeling that you felt for this two event would be different.

Even though he knows he would be the End of Everything he did not feel that crushing pressure of guilt. Because he did not know how it would happen.

And it also didnʼt happen yet. It is a matter of future. It might seem irresponsible but it is also the truth.

Azief could not feel guilty for the people that he had not yet killed

He is just sad that he could no longer believe Loki. He still loves him. To him, Loki would still be his little brother. Azief is not someone that does not know to distinguish between sincerity and fakeness.

He knows regardless of Loki plans against him or for him, Loki was sincere. And as long as that one bit of sincerity left, Azief would always treats him like his little brother.

But, he could no longer trust him. There were things that Loki had done that make him very hard to trust.

And one of that is the cause and effect of everything that had happened since the moment he met Loki.

What if the experience he had in Earth Two and all the other adventures and journey he went through has already been calculated by Loki?

Because of that, he wanted to see all the cause and effect of Earth two. And since that decision, he now had found all kinds of secret buried in that one inconsequential world.

Earth two seems to be related to something very big.

The more he sees and the more he experiences in both the world of Aero and now in Earth X, the more his premonition is getting stronger.

He sighed

Even though he felt the premonition, he could not discern what type of premonition this is.

So, he decided to put it to the back of his mind and keep looking at the events of Arial life

He believes that he would find something

He keeps looking and saw this Arial differs greatly from the Arial he knew. This Arial is not heroic, not brave, just a normal person in a turbulent era.

If not for the fact that Azief know that Arial comes from a lineage of great people, from heroes to kings to Emperors, he doubted that Arial is really the blood of the Vermont

The trajectory of events is also very different. He saw how normal Arial life was but Azief did not stop watching.

Even the simplest and most mundane thing is observed

Because as the years passes, Azief could feel that the premonition is getting stronger. Now, Azief is no longer just an apparition, he instead merges with the world.

But the area he covers is not the entire world but only the sky above the head of Arial.

He tries to spread his Divine Sense when he meres with the world but to his surprise he found out, there is some kind of restriction.

This did not happen before when he went to the other worlds but he chucks it up to some kind of problem with the helmet since most of its energy has been used.

After a few years, something that Azief had not expected happen. The Invasion of the Demonkind and leading them was someone that Azief did not expect at all

On the head of this invasion force is Azrael, the King of Arakath. Behind him, is the host of all the Demon army and there are giants, Orcs, and even Giants that answer the call.

Azief saw how Azrael just bribe the guards of the Bleeding Wall to get access before slaughtering the guards in the Bleeding Wall and take over the Wall and allowing their soldiers to pass through.

Azief had seen the Bleeding Wall and it was guarded by black clothed guards. The commanders of the Walls are usually very disciplined and also great fighters.

There is no lax of discipline even when the recruits are criminals for anyone who could not follow order and maintain discipline would be killed.

However, Azief could see the cause and effect of this.

When he was here, Arial was the one that controls the area all around the Bleeding Wall and its surrounding region.

He tightened up the defense, and while he did not wave his saber toward the Demonkind, e was very prepared for the possibility of a Demon Invasion.

Azief then saw how Azrael and his army ravage the lands of the Human Continent.

The kingdoms were caught unprepared but the Knight Academy was the first force that come out and fought against the Demon army and buy some time for the Human Kingdoms to act.

Azief looked at this and he shakes his head. There is also some kind of understanding that he had gained

ʼThis clearly did not happen. Arial had signed a treaty with Azrael and there was never such an invasion of the Demon Army in Arial reign of Arrandy before or after. Instead, the Darklands and the Edenian Empire has a cooperative relationship forged by a debt of gratitude. Either my memory is wrong or there is something wrong with all of thisʼ he mutters to himself.

In the world that he met Arial, the Edenian Empire and the high lords of Arakath had great relationship because Arial had saved the Queen of Arakath.

This bond is so strong that in the eve of the Darkness the Demonkind also helps Arial fights the Darkness.

This does not make sense at all. But by now, he got a hunch of what is happening.

ʼA different timeline?ʼ he thought to himself and he nodded. It is the only way to explain all this divergence from how events supposed to go.

Azief also notices something and that him and Arial might be in the same kind of situation. After all Loki did travel through time.

And even though Azief could not remember it he could be considered someone that also travelled back to the past even if he doesnʼt even have a single memory about that.

But there is also something that made him sighed

ʼShit. People all over the Multiverses is playing with time. What do they think Time and Space is? Some kind of codes that they could alter however they like?ʼ

He was just expression his disbelief. It seems to him that people seems to just alter time and space without any regard of how it could affect things.

He then calmed down easily but another thing raises his attention.

the weird thing about all of this, is that he did not see the involvement of either the Time Lords or the Orvanians.

Usually, the Time Lords would surely at least show some activity before the appointed time of the Time Changing.

Azief himself is not very knowledgeable on what Time Lords actually do. But he does know a few things about them

He then shakes his head and rid out of any distracting thought and look at the life of Arial. By this time, Arial is no longer in the Dukedom of Alan

Instead he went to Seren to celebrate his birthday. His father gave him some money to go there.

Azief who had Divine Sense on the Dukedom see at the same time that Arial was celebrating his birthday, the Demon Army ravages the Dukedom.

Arial from what he sees loves his parent very much. This is also the same trait like the Arial that he knew.

Not before long, Arial heard news from refugees of the war that there is an invasion of the Demon King.

Arial who listened to this quickly returns back to Danoba village.

Along the way, Azief could see that Amara is protecting Arial, easing his path, making sure he did not encounter anyone that is dangerous.

ʼIt seems that the Goddess had always protected the lineage of Aero but why would she did not help Arial parents?ʼ he thought to himself

Azief found that this kind of thing has similarities between him and Loki. Loki sometimes does things that he could not predict or deduce.

Because some of the things he did, did not make sense.

There is no benefit or loss in Loki calculation. In the past Azief of course could not understand why Loki made certain decision.

But after knowing that Loki knows the future, Azief change his thoughts.

The reason he could not deduce or predict Loki moves is simply because the vantage point that they see is different.

Whether it be benefit or loss, for someone that did not know the future like Loki, the winning side would not be revealed until the end.

Because Loki make plans based according to the future he knows.

So, one losing move might actually be a precursor to a winning checkmate.

ʼIt is the same for Amaraʼ he thought to himself.

Arial of this timeline is timid and while there is the occasional bravery, there is nothing remarkable about him other than the weight of destiny that his blood carry.

Other than his bloodline, there is nothing special about him.
