Chapter 818: 806

Title: Welcome to the Dark Side

Among famed Asgardian Sorceresses, Haag was not known at all. The only title this old retainer ever held was to be Karnilla's maid. But only Karnilla understood the gravity of Haag's talent.

Precognition.

Uncontrolled, yes. But she has the ability to conceive future events at whims even she did not fully understand. And among the vast universe, the ability to see, hear, or even intuitively feel future events without an extreme price is highly demanding.

Haag is one such being.

Her ability to visualize the future comes and goes but she found her time more efficiently spent on taking care of Karnilla. Though, a maid in name, the old woman had single-handedly raised Karnilla to be the queen of the nornheim. A being well-acknowledged even by the fearsome sisters of Norn.

The moment Haag laid her eyes on Nikshrat, the blinded vagrant sitting behind Brunnhilde, she felt her eyelids twitch. A sensation rose within her— a clear sign that she was going to visualize the future once again and seeing that Nikshrat was the trigger, Haag was extremely curious.

After all, what could the future hold for a blind vagrant?

Minutes passed, Brunnhilde passed, and Haag still stood silently, clenching her staff and meditating.

Soon, she thought.

Bouts of precognition are one of the greater excitement of her life. Although she looked old and wrinkled but which Asgardian didn't know by the time they reached their millennia that recovering youth was quite easy. The trick has always been finding a comfortable form to live in. Young or old, to truly aged, it was only a matter of choice.

*Bang*

At this time, her eyes widened and she fell into a daze.

A normal reaction. Although precognition only reveals a short period of event, the information is extremely heavy due to the fact that this ability involves the concept of causality, time, and various other mixed-up concepts that can utterly destroy a mind if accepted in an instant.

However, being part of the said precognition, Nik felt a strange sensation around him, and curiously, he accepted it.

In an instant, his gaze widened and he accepted all the information.

*Crackle*

Burned corpses littered the nine realms to a varying degree. What true was the fact that Nik saw himself. He floated mid-air, slightly blurry. A kaleidoscopic form of light gathered over his head and a strange energy emanated around him. Unlike Haag who only saw death and destruction and the prominent Nik, the man in vision himself saw more. Beside his floating figure, Nik saw Ray and Brian. At least, a shadow of theirs. Asgardian gods surrounded them and seemed to support them.

And, turning his vision 'back', Nik saw him.

In his full glory.

Dancing white hair, grey skin that exuded a strange sense of life and death. A pitch-black armor with the print of a crimson drake over his torso and a sword so dark that light and space seemed to wrap around him.

"Hmm?" The figure's crimson gaze seemed to bore into him. And yet, at this moment, Haag screamed.

Blood gushed out of her once beautiful green eyes and nostrils while Nik continued to gaze at the figure with slight confusion.

"You're dea—"

Before the figure could completely utter his scream, Nik's vision changed and he was back in Heven, collecting Angels as if they were baked potatoes ready to be served.

With the last one collected, Nik didn't wait for a single second and opened a portal to Karnilla's 'palace.'

And in that instant, Nikshrat struck Brunnhilde.

The only one who didn't understand anything was Amora.

She still stood in the middle of the vortex and Nikshrat as Nik stepped out.

"Ah! Well, my good sir. You certainly are very handsome," Nik smiled at Nikshrat.

"No, no, my good sir, your presence light up this cave," Nikshrat smiled and slowly took the bandage off of his eyes.

"If the good sir is praising so highly, then I must accept," Nik shrugged before both of them locked gazes and suddenly, erupted in peals of laughter.

"My god! We should have done this way before!" Nik chuckled and appeared beside Nikshrat. He observed the figure while from the vortex, other girls stepped out.

"Amora?" Loki tilted her head in confusion.

"Loki?" Amora looked back before realizing the woman in green and gold was none other than the infamous Loki herself. Both of them gazed at each other before Amora inquired with a slightly depraved grin, "Now that I look at you... maybe I should try being a guy. How about it? Wanna show me a good time?"

Janet, Poole, Spider, Angela, and Morgan blinked at the same time.

This is not what they expected to hear at all.

"Well, prepare for trouble. Now we know that Asgard isn't the end game and my audience is someone else," Nik smiled as Nikshrat disappeared.

The more he thought of the vision he just viewed, the more clues he understood.

At the very least, he now knew when to conduct his breakthrough and evolution.

"So this is it, Loki," Nik turned to look at the bewitching woman, "We're in Asgard. Now, what?"

"We relax," Loki shrugged as she stepped forward and patted Amora's curvy butt with a smile, "Let me tell you something about Amora. I believe she's your match, you know."

Loki's words were interrupted by a cold scoff.

"If it isn't Loki. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't hand you over to Asgard right away?" Nik gazed at the set of purple pupils with fascination. He didn't even look towards Amora despite Loki's claim of her being his match. So what?

Ray is his match, and so is Yar? What should he even do about it? Have a pissing contest?

Instead, Karnilla looked amazing in Nik's eyes and his desire to snatch a woman from the fanaticism of the most beautiful Asgardian couldn't be more apparent at this point.

Next to Karnilla was a pale Haag. She didn't dare raise her head high but she could feel Nik's gaze land on her momentarily and she shuddered.

"Oh, you don't need to do that," Loki smiled, "Just inform Balder that I'm here with some news. News about the Mad Titan."

"You're surrendering?" Karnilla and Amora frowned at the same time.

Nik raised his eyebrow in surprise as he looked at Loki.

"What? Do you think Asgard would crack down without an immortal bug inside?" Loki's voice appeared in Nik's mind as he shrugged.

"For one, I wouldn't call you a bug."

Loki smirked at Nik's words before she looked at Angela, "Right, sister, it has been a wonderful trip with you. Now, you're going to help me rattle the old bastard. I'm hoping for a heart attack!" Loki giggled and patted Angela's shoulder.

Before the scene could get more chaotic and the confusion could spread, Karnilla hissed in excitement.

"I'll contact Balder!"

"And you need to tell me what's going on," Amora glanced at Loki before gazing at Nik. Loki's words did make Amora more interested in the youth now but her eyelids twitched as Nik stroked the silent Aragorn's muzzle.

"Hey, buddy, take Brunnhilde back, alright? Hmmm, say, why not forget about Brunnhilde after you drop her off? Join my side, I have carrots and mares," Nik's enticement made Aragorn neigh softly. He flapped his fings like a duck and seemed excited.

"Good boy," Nik chuckled, "Remember. You need to sneak out after dropping Brunnhilde off."

Saying that, Nik picked the unconscious Brunnhilde and strapped her on the back of Aragorn before he snapped his fingers and a portal appeared in front of Aragorn.

"You'll have to fly back," Nik smiled and patted Aragorn's back before the Pegasus took off.

"How are you doing this? The array does not support unauthorized teleportation," Amora narrowed her gaze.

"A little of this, a little of that," Nik shrugged before looking at the cave.

"Alright. Our time is wasted enough. Now, Angela, you need to remember the exact words I'm about to say. Try to copy my emotions, if you can. That way, there will be more effect," Loki turned to Angela with a smile.

"You guys can explore the caves or just rest here. Or spend the time the usual way," Loki looked at the group with a smile before pulling an unwilling Angela away.

"My explanation?" Amora inquired with a shout.

"We're taking over Asgard!" Loki replied.

"Right. The plain old rebellion," Amora mumbled before her gaze landed on the curious group looking around.

"Excuse me," Amora gestured towards the group, "Let's chat. I hardly get any visitors in here and Karnilla is always sniffing Balder's butt. Where are you guys from?"

"Earth?"

"The parallel universe!"

"None of your business!"

"Past."

"Heven," Nik's reply was the last.

Meanwhile, Spider glanced at Amora, and seeing how she acted, the phantom snorted.

"Past, Parallel Universe?" Amora glanced at Morgan and Poole. She could see the Phantoms herself.

"And Heven?" She looked towards Nik.

"Yeah? I'm an angel, if you'll believe it," Nik shrugged.

"Well, I tried this the easy way. Let's see if you're really my match."

Instantly, a strange scent began to filter out of Amora's body while her gaze flashed. Her green eyes looked watery and enticing while her plump lips smiled gently. In an instant, her entire being seemed to be the focus of the group's attention. But that was it. She stood out.

Although Poole was salivating and Spider was resisting a more primal urge, Janet and Morgan seemed entirely unaffected.

"That's it?" Nik frowned.

"What do you mean?" Amora replied with a slightly odd look.

"I mean, if you're going to use the supernatural means of seduction... then it should be somewhat like this," Nik's violet gaze flashed and instantly, a violet mist began escaping his body.
