Chapter 791: An odd friendship (i)

Name:Lord Shadow Author:Keikokumars
The room is still silent as these two people look at each other, their gazes seems to hide many things

But they could not remain silent forever. After all, the world is about to tear itself apart right now while they keep doing this game

They look at each other and Hirate could only sigh as Loki shows a gentle smile and a carefree expression.

On the surface, the soldiers and the heroes and heroines of Island of Peace is still fighting fiercely up there in the sky and down there in the ground.

No one could have expected that Mind Master and the Trickster is talking with each other leisurely in a secret room in an underground facility of the World Government.

Right now, in the eyes of many people in the battlefield is that Hirate fighting the otherworld forces using his ability to control minds and there is Loki inside the space rip.

But Loki is using his avatar to spoke with Hirate.

Then who is that person fighting the invading force using psychic powers? That is another apparition of Hirate, only this apparition is more solid and more real.

The abilities that Hirate possess sometimes overlaps a bit with Hikigaya in that they both deceive the senses.

There are similarities but there is also differences. Loki then ask

'Where is he right now?' Hirate close his eyes and his original body seems to be squirming a bit sitting on that floating metallic throne.

Loki notices it and ask

'Isn't it painful?' the apparition simply said

'Not so bad as you think'

Loki look at the Cerebral Enhancement Device that Hirate had created attached to Hirate original body and the helmet connected with wires

There are mechanical wires inserted in the slots of the helmet that Hirate is wearing and it is glowing and dimming per second.

This mysterious device is the collaboration between Order of Thinkers and the Research Department of the World Government

It is also one of the trump cards of the World Government and one of the many secret devices among the many other secret devices that the World Government possess

This device could amplify the psionic power that Hirate possess and it also enables him to search and detect traces of anyone he wanted worldwide.

That is not to mention its capability to even see people and in some cases, hear their thought process.

It is a Big Brother wet dream.

If this is before the Fall and there is such device and power, Loki would bet any world leaders that have even slightest desire to become dictator would want such device.

That is of course is not the only thing this device could do.

If not, it should not be that much a secret.

After all, the Eye of Heaven belonging to the Order of Thinker also have the ability to see thing from far away like some magical glass that could see the happening of what happen a world away and even seek people.

Such surveillance device is popular.

Because normal modern stuff like the camera or thing that have the surveilling function before the Fall could never catch a person moving so fast like Will the Speedster in action or Disk Formation powerhouse that could move like lightning and disappear in a few seconds.

The fact that the Seven Great Powers acted like the judges of the world requires evidence when they wanted to pass judgment onto a Disk Formation levelers.

If not, the Disk Formation levelers all around the world would revolt from such judgement and as they are considered a walking nuclear bomb, no one wanted to earn the ire of all Disk Formation levelers in the world

And even their own factions Disk Formation levelers would never want such thing to pass. If everything is decided by the Seven great powers without any evidence, they would not be satisfied.

They must be convinced.

For the great powers this is a dilemma because normal modern equipment could never catch a Disk Formation leveler that is intent in hiding their crimes.

Unless they possess magical means like Death Monarch that could see through Heaven and Earth secret as he wills it, the other great powers had to create a way to see the actions of their people and the actions of the world.

Humanity is not the only thing that is evolving in this brand new world.

Even the technology of the world is evolving.

Some of them are pure magical technology, possessing energy stone as a power source using talisman, formation arrays and runic symbols.

Others are technological advances like power suit that is created from the forging of new minerals and metals that was found or reactors that gathers the energy of the world to give electricity and power many things in the world.

And there is also the hybrid technology that combines magical power and technological advance that did not use magic as its foundation.

The Cerebral Enhancement Device is a bit of both.

Other than searching and detecting people, one of its other function is that it could also sense fluctuation of energy

This has helped World Government immensely.

Because of this function the World Government could easily search for new spots that erupted with thick worldly energy making them first in discovering energy lode mine or some treasure that was unearthed by some disaster and many other resources of the world by using this device.

Of course Loki believe that Hirate would upgrade this device to become more powerful.

Loki of course recognize the Cerebral Enhancement Device.

It is not the first time he sees the device, after all.

The relationship between him and Hirate in this timeline seems like that of a rival and at times even seems like they were enemies to each other.

In the other timeline however, in the later years of both of their lives, they considered themselves as old friends.

Of course, Loki at that time was already a Sovereign and Hirate is still stuck at half Sovereign. Sovereign rarely have friends.

Look at Jean who mourn Paulette every day in that purple coffin. Or Hirate and Hikigaya whose friend is only each other.

Most Sovereign is friends with each other, someone of their equal.

Rarely they befriended with someone that is below their power level. Hence, one could say the deep friendship between Loki and Hirate in that timeline to be very strange.

Because Hirate could do nothing to help a Sovereign and there is nothing that Loki in the future wanted from a mere mortal.

The Sovereign did not have many friends because simply they are of a different lifeform.

What they see and what they understand about the Omniverse is far from the understanding of the people below them

Unless they themselves become Sovereign, it is hard to understand the thoughts and action of a Sovereigns.

Hirate right now is still a bit selfish, still not polished enough and not mature enough.

The Hirate of the future on the other hand is a lot more mature and fought for humanity, sacrificing his all for the sake of humanity.

Hirate did not yet reach at that level but he is gradually going that path.

Though Loki had a mixed feeling about that. Sacrificing himself for the sake of humanity. That sound grand and all, but as a friend, Loki could not help but feel a little sad.
