Lord Shadow - Chapter 1996 1996: Beyond the Eyes

It is amazing when one thinks about it.

Everyone’s life is precious. But there are only few lives that could send a ripple through all the Omniverse

And even fewer who have their fates and destiny are tightly interwoven with the creation and destruction of the Omniverse itself.

A universe could control trillions of planets and stars and particles and even more immeasurable life form

But the Omniverse. It is big and the human mind would find it almost impossible to understand the numbers as the human mind could not fathom such a huge number

And for someone to possess such fate and destiny that it would affect the entire Omniverse…..it is amazing and terrifying at the same time

Though, it did something good for Erika.

It allowed Erika to do something she would not be able to do in normal circustances

Erika did not have to waste energy to try to divine or peer through the secret of heaven because of that ripple

That ripple is a warning and in such a ripple, the cause and effect is overturned and because of that, she did not have to worry about the backlash of fate and could easily trace the source of that disturbance.

Of course this could only work because of who Erika is.

If it is any other Oracle who tries to do what Erika did, they would not even know how to begin.

After all, the time and space ripples that disturbed fate and destiny, is that something a mere Disk Formation realm clairvoyant is qualified to meddle in?

They are not qualified.

Erika could only interfere because she has the memories of her future self and she knows tricks that are not yet available in this era.

If not for those memories, even if she is now a Divine Comprehension realm, she would not be able to see the true source of the disturbance

Anyway, because she knows how to She went to the Veil and from the Evil she follows the source of that disturbance.

And there she got a glimpse of Wargod

A glimpse is all she needs and she understood then what had happened and where did Azief went.

But clearly something else had happened.

Wargod would not attack Azief.

If he did, Azief would not be here. And if he really did attack, the signature would be different.

Erika herself had never met that being called Wargod.

She sees her in some glimpses but meeting that being face to face was not something she had done either in this timeline or in the other timeline

But she would know.

She would know Wargod energy.

There is something she knows about Wargod that would make her able to discern his energy

This energy, this weird energy that seems able to devour time and space, confuse fate and destiny that is in Azief energy streams…this kind of energy is something she never felt and experienced before.

It is not distorted, not corrupt, but extremely pure and that is what makes it so confounding.

Such pure time and space energy that Erika could even feel that it could somehow negate the negative effect of the Veil.

She never knew such energy even existed in the Omniverse.

It is even purer than the one in Azief energy and Azief energy is the purest there is considering he walked the Perfection Path

That alone is something weird

“There is not much use thinking too much about it.

The fact Odin comes to me in a dream just now means Odin method might work. And maybe I too could learn something”

And Erika opens her eyes.

Only a second had passed in the real world.

Erika then said to Azief.

“What you have is some of the symptoms of dislocation and dissonance of time and space”

The name is simple enough for Azief to understand.

“But it is not entirely the dislocation and dissonance of time and space. Normal dissonance of time and space would not affect beings that reached Essence Creation. It hardly even affects Divine Comprehension realm beings”

“And it would not affect you until you could not even resist”

“And I think you know it better than me. Your energy seems to be in a state of flux, of existing and not existing at the same time, like it is there and it is not there. This state of flux is quite…. disturbing if I am being honest about it. It is nothing like the dislocation and dissonance of time and space I am familiar with”

“So, it is not that”

“But it has that same characteristic. It is just that your….I guess adventures are not one that is normal or ordinary. And if it is an extraordinary adventure, it means this is an extraordinary disease”

“This is beyond my ability.” Erika smiles and then shook her head

“However, it is not like you came here to help me heal you”

Azief eyes narrow.

Now that he is awakened, his energy rises up again.

And once it rises up, the clouds above the sky churns and dark clouds surge and gather, thunder and lightning appear.

His mood changes and it affects heaven and earth

It only took a few seconds for such changes. It is truly terrifying

Like a vengeful god descending to the mortal realm.

Erika smiles

“Calm down” she said it almost nonchalantly

Azief closed his eyes for a moment, took a deep breath and nodded.

He calms himself down, and just like that the clouds disperse, and the lightning and thunder suddenly dissolve into nothingness

Erika smiles

Azief opens his eyes, his eyes looking straight at Erika. Any other person would avert their gaze.

Not many people dare to see Death Monarch eye staring at them.

If they were enemies, that would usually be the last thing they see

But Erika simply looks at him. In her mind, this Azief is not someone she feared.

The one she feared is the one that became Sovereign.

Now, if that Azief is in front of her and look her in the eyes, Erika would rather close her eyes then seeing Azief eyes

Those who look at the face of a deity, either had their mind go crazy or had their eyes burned from inside out.

Azief looks at Erika and he doesn’t know what made Erika seem to be so confident in herself

“How do you know Odin?”

There are many questions that he wanted to ask. Whether he has energy when he is unconscious?

Whether he is vulnerable in that state.

But in the end, the most important question is this.

How did Erika, a mortal from Earth would know the One-Eyed God of the Aesir, the AllFather of Asgard?

How could a mortal who has never even set foot out of this galaxy know the mighty AllFather and even warrant his descend?

Azief, he could understand his case.

But Erika?

This Great Oracle? She might be called a Great Oracle on Earth but a seer or an oracle, a clairvoyant, is not exactly rare in the Omniverse.

Of course, for beings that could travel through the stars or capable of intergalactic and interdimensional travel, they would think that clairvoyants are some kind of a rare breed.

But if you are able to travel through the Omniverse, you would find this bunch in any inhabitable and populated galactic system

Most worlds who has magic energy in their world usually have a few of them.

A few of them in a world might be seen as rare and even scarce but when you compare them to all the clairvoyants in the Omniverse, there are quite many of them

And Azief is quite sure among the many clairvoyants in the Omniverse, even though Erika is a good Oracle, what abilities that she have that Odin deigns to come to her temple?

Coming to someone temple for a being like Odin is not easy

The law of hospitality binds him.

This law of hospitality is nothing in a world without magic.

But in a world with magic, with the lores and stories associated with Odin, when he arrived at this temple, he must abide by certain rules

One might think that it is not Odin that offers a place. It is Erika. Hence, it should be Erika that offer then gift of hospitality.

But it is different between gods.

And temple.

Or a place of worship.

Erika has her own temple.

And she had her own followers.

She might possess the powers of gods and deities, but she does possess the faith energy. And she has a temple, which accumulates this energy for her.

A god entering another god temple, certain respect must be given

Odin rarely gives his respect to anyone. The fact that he came and went to this temple, shows how much he cares about her.

If not, he could come to her in many other ways. But he insisted on coming directly. That indicates something

There is something beyond the eyes when it comes to Erika.

And Azief means this figuratively and literally

This woman always gives him the heebies jeebies.
