Chapter 963: Stepping once again into the muddy world (2)

Name:Lord Shadow Author:Keikokumars
Antonius then ask Erika

'We're leaving?' Erika did not answer immediately. She got up from the stool, look at Antonius and nodded with a smile. She looks around the hut and sighed

'More than six years of waiting. Finally, today ended. Now, I am free' she thought to herself. This words have many meanings. 

One of them is that she is now free from that fear. Since she had already lose her eye, she no longer fears it.

Though the pain would never be forgotten, at least she now had pass this tribulation. 

As the other meaning of the word free, it is that from now on, Death Monarch would not be able to see her.

Each time he would try, he would find that his left eye would restrain him from looking at her position 

This is how she in that other timeline could move freely in the whole world without the eyes of the strongest Sovereign trained on her.

Free from the gaze of Heaven Above.

And then later, he would even protect her in some cases because of his connection with the eye 

This is because the eye also has benefits for the God of Death.

By transplanting her eye to Death Monarch, it was like she get a death free card. That would truly be the case when Death Monarch rose to Sovereign later. 

Or to be more accurate, after he cut the restrain of the Heavenly Will from him where he truly controls the domain of life and death

As long as she did not die before that, Azief could always bring her back from the Underworld.

As of now, she had to be content by the fact that Death Monarch would not be able to see her.

Unlike Loki who have the helm of Hades that enables him to hide from any Divine Sense and Yewa Hafar who have his own dark magic that enables him to hide from Death Monarch, Erika did not have such capability.

Even in that other timelier she did not have such ability. Of course she had all kinds of blueprint for array formations that could hide her from the eyes of others

And that would work…. until someone reached Sovereign level. 

At that stage, there is only a few methods that could really hide one from the eyes of a Sovereign.

Unless Erika possess some supreme stealth formation (which also requires all kinds of ingredients and all kinds of resources to construct) there is no way of hiding oneself from the gaze of a Sovereign

Giving Death Monarch her eyes were the solution she found. It binds him and restrained him. And some of her interest, become his interest. His interest also become her interest

They are now connected through time forever.

But the intention of giving him her eyes this time was different than the last

In that other timeline she did it for herself. There is a lot of selfishness there. And there is also a hint of trying to take advantage from Death Monarch

The relationship between Erika and Death Monarch in that other timeline could not be considered good

But, this time, her intention is not only pure, it is also would benefit Azief.

This time, she did it for him. 

There is an element of curse in the eye. 

But, if Azief could master it, master the ability to see through time, he might be able to see more, understand more and have more preparation.

Her methods are a bit different than Loki. She was not afraid of Azief knowing the future

Because….and she smiles at her own thought. 

She knows something that Loki and Yewa Hafar did not know

She had shared her eyes with Azief in that other timeline. 

And while the Time God had managed to reverse time, reverting fate and destiny, making it like it never happened by overturning the natural order of the Omniverse, the eye of Oracles, and the visions they have seen would always be in the Veil

Connected and inerasable. 

The beads of the Veil which represent the vision of the eye would never ever be destroyed as long as the Will of Borgan existed throughout the Omniverse

One might have missed it, lost it, but it would never be erased. Six years, she was under the tree waiting for Death Monarch

If Loki thought she was just sitting there, waiting, then it is clear Loki did not know her that much.

It is illogical that she would just sit under the tree, lamenting about the eventual day that she would lose her eyes.

That is an unproductive day. And that would not make sense at all. After all, urgency could be felt in both of her heart and Loki heart

The destruction of the Omniverse is not some kind of event that you would just be relaxing your days waiting until the end

You could wait. But you would always be itching to do something to at least curb the uneasiness you felt in your heart

Instead, in that span of six years, she had reviews the beads on the curtain of the Veil. 

She was seeking for the beads of vision that would materialize after Azief in that other timeline had used it

In each bead, a memory, a fragment of time, a guide to visions that her eyes had seen on this timeline and in the other, and all the probabilities that would arise from it could be analyzed and review upon

And in that contemplation, she found out something that overturned what she thought happened in that other timeline.

It is a knowledge that she did not share with Loki. It is a knowledge that made her more confident in the way she employed her plans

And what is this knowledge?

Smiling, she thought of that day where she saw the vision in her mind. 

That day, she laughed. She laughed until her stomach ache. Her eyes were teary because of how hard she was laughing

Because she felt like that everything was a joke. She found out about what Azief, the Death God had seen when he had the eye

It is quite hard trying to identify where that particular vision was in the countless beads of vision that covers the Veil but she found it.

And she found how funny all of it is.

Yewa Hafar believe he was playing chess with Loki. Loki believe he is playing chess with her and Yewa Hafar. But Erika knows better.

Both of them were wrong

She knows that there are not three players playing chess. 

It is four people, playing chess. 

And this other chess player was hidden so deeply, his scheme was so deep that the moves had been made in another timeline that would affect the current timeline.

Yes, this other chess player is none other than Azief the God of Death. What she found shocked her and made her feel like she had seen the greatest act of the millennium.

It seems that Azief in that other timeline had foreseen how he is going to die. He had foreseen it the day he become Sovereign. 

When he became Sovereign, thee eye that possess the power of clairvoyance also upgraded. And in that moment, he gained full control of the eye. 

With the power akin of a Supreme Being, he tore open the Veil and look greedily at the future. 

Even as Time, Fate, Destiny try to restrain him, Azief in that moment was all powerful and almighty

The most powerful a Sovereign could be at, is during their peak and the other one is during their ascension.

When they ascend to that level, the Will of the Omniverse would surrounded them, protect them and supplied them with almost infinite energy.

The creation of a Sovereign is not a singular event that affect only one planet. It affects the whole Omniverse. Each time a Sovereign is born, the ripples of that energy would spread out all over the Omniverse.

The farther away a certain star system is from the place of the energy ripple origin, the lower the effect of that ripple.

But, to those who had stepped onto that path, distance is nothing in front of them. They would sense it.

The Will of the omniverse would be moved. A Sovereign is connected to all the Multiverse and wherever they go, their powers would not be stripped away by the will of that world.

Before you are Sovereign, when you went into a certain world, you would be oppressed by that Will of the World. Sometimes, you might even lose your abilities because the Laws of that World is not compatible with the Laws of the World that you cultivated.

But a Sovereign did not have to worry about it since Omniversal energy could be absorbed and used, making a Sovereign a beacon of energy that could use all energies regardless of the worlds or the dimension.

The Will of the Omniverse then would not take lightly, for a person to cross that step and would shower him with a large dose of Omniversal energy

As such, in that moment of ascension, it is the strongest moment of a Sovereign.
