Lord Shadow
Chapter 2031: Descend Down
Death Monarch and Will the Speedster. This two sworn brothers.....they were the culprit of that event
They disturb the time space continuum, breaking the already fragile fabric between world and induce a resonance call
That is how the Order of Thinkers called it.
A resonance call that synchronized parallel reality frequency and causes them to appear and merge with other worlds.
Usually a parallel world, other earths are separated by this frequency. So, they could not clash with each other.
A space just like this, like a mirror dimension.
Truthfully, inside this room, only Hikigaya truly understand this analogy of saying the parallel world as the other side of the mirror.
Those words are just to enhance understanding. The true explanation is even weirder and harder to understand. Unless you are scientist that is determined to understand the intricacies of these rules of the universe, most people would have given up trying to understand it
That is a different story. But the story of the Multiversal Convergence and how Loki was framed for it is quite simple. Death Monarch never wanted to frame Loki.
Loki take it upon himself to take that blame. Because....because the world could not withstand another chaos.
If at that time, the world finds out it was Death Monarch that was the cause, then whether the world powers wanted to or not, they have to show some action.
They were many people that died because of Multiversal Convergence.
Death Monarch himself did not expect that his going to the future would create such a matter.
But whether he knows it or not, it did not matter.
What matters is what happened.
At that time, the world is already full of chaos with devastation all around. If the world had to blame Death Monarch, it would there would be tension.
Even if none of the world power wanted to attack and wanted to stabilize the situation and just pretend to attack, people who had suffered, people who had lost loved ones during the time of the Multiversal Convergence would surely push the leaders of the world powers to attack seriously
So, playing stupid would not be wise as it would only lead more and more people to feel resentment.
All it needs was one mistake and the whole world would be embroiled in a world war. ππΏπ²ππ πππ»πΌπ―ππ.ππΌπΊ
The world already could not handle another chaos. Loki....did it for the stability of the world. And the world has a convenient scapegoat.
All the leaders of the world powers may not like Loki and his methods, but everyone respected him since that moment
All the world power issued a wanted order for Loki.
But...if one looks at it closely, is the world power is serious in catching Loki?
None of the world power is that enthusiastic in catching Loki. Everyone knows what Loki had done for the world and one must respect such person even if they have to curse such people publicly.
Not to mention, if they did catch Loki, then there should be an investigation.
But what investigation could be levied upon Loki? Everyone that is in power knows he is not guilty. Interrogating him and finding out something would only reveal the cover up and create another chaos in the world
So, the best thing for the world right now is this status quo, of the situation of Tom and Jerry. Wanted but not captured.
It is for this reason that Loki could easily meet Hirate, Hikigaya, Oreki, Raymond, and other world power leaders, easily traipsing around the world brushing shoulders with powerful people whether in the government side or those in the crime underworld.
And Loki is doing well for himself, one of the seat on the Red Table belongs to him and he had access to many of the Crime Alliance resources all over the world.
Yet, this very same trickster never wanted to meet Death Monarch, the only world ruler that is insisting in protecting Loki.
Hikigaya had long notice there is some wariness that Loki held for Azief and Azief himself held some wariness toward Loki.
The others did not think much of it.
They all believe that Loki and Azief is a model example of brothers cherishing brothers.
They might not be blood brothers, but everyone knows Loki is like a little brother to Death Monarch.
Those inner circle of Death Monarch is known to the world.
There is Sina, Sofia, and Loki.
These three are the most inner circle of Death Monarch. But Hikigaya has always been able to see the big things from small things.
Loki is wary of Death Monarch; Death Monarch is wary of Loki. Yet, these two also did not seem to held hatred against the others
Tracing back, Loki never did things that harm Death Monarch. And if Death Monarch wanted to harm Loki, he could have done it a long time ago
But that wariness... Hikigaya believed he did not misjudge the matter. These two really do have wariness against each other
However, they do not hate each other. They are just wary. But why? This is what Hikigaya could not know.
The only conclusion Hikigaya could make is that these two have some unspeakable story.
After all, Loki had never wanted to meet Death Monarch since he claim responsibility for the Multiversal Convergence
Many people just believed that Loki did not want to make it hard for his brother, Azief.
Azief on the other hand keep urging Loki to return to Pandemonium to protect him from the world
If on look at it simply, Loki the younger brother did not want to harm the older brother reputation and make it hard for Azief to explain to the world
Azief the older brother on the other hand did not care and feel guilty because of Loki admission wanted to protect him and let him live freely in Pandemonium
What a model role for brothers!
But if there is something else, if Hikigaya deduction was right and these two people is actually wary of each other, then these two people have different reason for acting the way they did.
Loki....did he not come to Pandemonium simply because he wanted to protect his brother reputation?
Azief....did he invite Loki back to Pandemonium simply to protect Loki?
For some reason , Hikigaya felt that while all the other world power pretends to want to catch Loki and actually not catching him, Hikigaya believes that Azief pretend to want to protect Loki when he actually wanted to capture Loki
And Loki, the reason he did not return to Pandemonium is not because he wanted to protect Azief reputation or that he is ashamed, he simply did not want to get captured.
These two....Hikigaya only sigh in his heart. This is just a speculation he had made and he did not know whether this is true or not.
Raymond did not notice that Hikigaya is thinking so deeply that his eyebrows creased. In any other moment he would have realized it but Raymond himself is immersed in his own thoughts
Then Raymond just sighs and spoke.
"Inform to Loki that we need to meet. I want to know what he knows. He has Book of Secrets. I wonder if that would work in this world too"
Hikigaya nodded
"What about the war? These people have been killing and been fighting. And even though they fight for different reason, I find it weird. It almost felt like someone pushing all of these from behind"
Raymond sighed.
"I guess it is time to descend. Since most of them believed us to be gods, then letβs just fulfil their fantasy and descend like gods. One word and it is enough to deter these wars" Hikigaya nodded and Oreki laughed
"Letβs go out then"
Raymond slowly got up and then he slowly flies out of the white tower.
Following right behind him is Oreki and Hikigaya.
All three of them as they could smell the scent of the mountain, feel the coldness of the clouds, emanated their power.
Their rules and laws that they cultivated is activated and the moment it is activated the heavenly Will of this world notices it
The moment Raymond come out from the white tower
BOOM!
The reality and space around him seem to tear. No, it dissolved entirely and the sound is like the sound of a weeping.
The space around him distorts as Raymond floated down to the mountain below the white tower.
A thrum echoes all over the Untainted Land. The tectonic plates of the Untainted Land seem to grind.
Mountains groaned, and the mountain in which he is about to descend right now, its peak slowly being compressed.
There are jagged edges on top of the mountain but as Raymond slowly come closer to the top, the ground become compressed and become flat like a flat disk.
The air thickens, the gravity become heavier, the stones and dust swirls around him before disintegrating.
Rivers and seas churns and groans, trembling and quivering.
Flowers blooms and trees sprouted on top of the mountain.
This mountain is a mountain filled with snow, so high that it reaches the clouds and no trees should have survived.
But now a tree sprouted and grows up in just a matter of seconds. And then Raymond feet touches the ground
And the earth....the Earth shakes. The mountain is trembling like it could not bear the weight and with the shaking of the mountain, a sound of explosion follows
Avalanches erupted everywhere on many parts of the mountain. Raymond simply smiles looking at all of this.
"This place is really fragile for an existence exceeding the Disk Formation realm" he thought to himself.
The Earthshaker had descended down from the Divine White Tower and the entire Untainted Land could feel its majesty.
The whole Untainted Land could feel a change in the energy of the world
