Chapter 962: Stepping once again into the muddy world (1)

Before, Void was the leader of the Crime Alliance. 

While he was just a figurehead, he still was given the respect and protection of the Crime Alliance leader during that time

And also he got information. 

A lot of them. 

Most of the great powers had all kinds of information on the tips of their fingers. 

Crime Alliance also knows this and other than the Order of Thinkers, Crime Alliance probably even have more information than the great powers because of how the way the Crime Alliance infiltrated many dark forces of the world

If one has to compare o the information of the dark side of the world between the great powers and the Crime Alliance, it would be without no doubt that the Crime Alliance would possess more information about the dark forces in the world

And Void must have known that there are forces out there that tries to seek him. Loki must have send a few thieves trying to steal the orb from him

And the Three Demoness would undoubtedly would also be deployed. 

As such, Void probably knows the thing that he had gotten is very precious. 

After all, the things that could catch the attention of Loki the Trickster must not be something ordinary.

He just didn't know how precious it is. If he only knew….and at this Erika sighed. 

Unfortunately, Void seems to have hidden that thing somewhere. 

Erika act of drugging him is not simply to prevent him from doing something stupid that would reveal his whereabouts.

It was also because she wanted to see if Void had brought that thing with him. 

She had look over in his robe and look at any of the hidden pocket in his robe, but other than some explosive, hidden weapons, there is no trace of that thing.

If Void is any normal person, it would be easy for Erika to deduce the location of that thing. She would just have to hold him, and try to see his timeline.

But, such thing would not work against Void. So, she could only forget her desire of having that thing. It is better than Loki and Yewa Hafar having it.

The thing that Void has is what would trigger the war of the Sovereign. That is how important it is.

One item that bring about a great tragedy. The breaking of the alliance of the Sovereigns. A Civil War of celestial supreme beings that torn apart the sky and crack the earth.

The death of the Ice Goddess. The annihilation of the Thunder God and the God of Illusion. All of that started with that one little thing.

According to the timeline, it should not be found just yet. But, because of Loki action, something had changed.

This time, Void had gotten it. And now Loki and Yewa Hafar, these two, even though they already laid out their plans for other measures, is also seeking for this thing

To gain control of the thing that would trigger the War of the Sovereign. A lot of thigs could be adjusted if they have this thing 

Of course, Loki and Yewa Hafar wanted to have this thing in their possession.

Loki must have his own plans. Who knows to what level he would want to change this matter?

If this thing is in his hand ahead of time, then maybe the impact of the war could be mitigated.

Yewa Hafar would probably don't want the thing to end up in Loki hands since Yewa Hafar might believe that Loki had the intention to break the matter since the beginning.

And he would surely not let that happen. 

Yewa Hafar wanted it to be the same. Because of all the changes, this desire of Yewa Hafar has also changed. 

Now, he wants to make sure, it is as close as possible to that other timeline, where the victory of His Lord is guaranteed.

But Erika knows better. 

When the time come for the War of the Sovereign, Loki might already have returned to the Origin and the Loki in the War of the Sovereign might not have full control of the matter

The same could not be said for Erika. Her plans are not quite the same as Loki and Yewa Hafar.

Because she knows a certain secret that those other two did not know. A secret that would make Loki shocked to his core. And if Yewa Hafar knows it, he had to think twice before using a certain chess piece.

Who is the chess piece and who is the player? This question…. Erika knows the answer to it. And the answer would not be the same as the answer that Loki and Yewa Hafar would come to

They missed one part of the puzzle. Usually missing one part of the puzzle did not change the overall picture.

But, when the puzzle is Time, then missing one piece, changes the whole picture. This puzzle piece is something that Erika holds.

She looks at the torn purple robe of Void and she look at Void face. 

'Still, so young…but so demented' she muttered under her breath. She sat down on the stool beside the bed

Even though the lower part of Void face is still covered by a thin translucent black cloth, Erika was not interested in seeing Void face.

Because she had seen in before. But she seen it in her vision.

His hair is long and covering his left eye. And even when he is unconscious, there is this white mist that shrouded him

Of course, one could not see it if one did not pay attention. 

Usually only Divine Comprehension leveler could see such things but Erika eyes had always been special

Antonius had ben waiting for Erika inside the hut with Void all of this time. 

He was still injured when he was brought here and most of the new herbs was used to heal the injury that Void got

Unlike other people, he could not be healed by potions or anything magical. If Erika had healing nanobots this would all be very easy

But this kind of advanced technology, only the Great Powers had monopoly on it. 

Erika also knows that Void once tried to implant more mechanical and technological advances in his body but this move was blocked by the crime family leaders

At that time, they were no doubt leaving a way out for themselves. One could say, they were very wary about Void at that time

If Void really got his hands on those technology, today matter would probably not come to pass since he would be really powerful in the advantageous domain that he is able to create

Since Erika had already foreseen that Azief would come to the area, she had drugged Void before the appearance of Death Monarch

And even when he is unconscious, the ability in which everything is neutralized is still active and that is why Death Monarch was not able to see him.

Since the concoction was not magical in nature, it could easily put Void to sleep. Erika is deep in her thought, not knowing Antonius steal a glance toward her 

Antonius looks at Erika back and he sighed,

he could see that Erika had already worn that mechanical eye when she enters the hut. He did not say anything about this. 

He could only sighed

He knew what Erika had given Death Monarch and he did not know how to feel about it. So, right now, all he could do was sigh regretfully.

It is not the matter of strength. It is a matter of the future. And unlike Erika he could not see the future, so he would always be someone outside trying to look inside

He made peace with that. Knowing that he could never fully understand Erika. But this did not mean he did not feel uncomfortable looking at the current Erika

'She always had beautiful eyes' he thought to himself. It is a pity one of that eye is no longer there.

Erika is someone who he vowed to protect. And now she is even his girlfriend. This feeling of uselessness….is something that he hated.

He heard her howl to the sky and it takes every fiber of his being not to rush out from the hut and try to ease her pain

But he did not rush out. Because he knows he could not ease her pain. 

This pain is of her choosing. All the burdens of the world on her shoulders….so how could he not feel sad for her?

How could he not feel how useless he is? 

Erika the Oracle could see the future. And as such, most of her actions would not make sense to people who live in the present. 

Because Erika had always been living in the future and each of her action serve for the future and not the present

And that rend his heart apart. He only hopes that after this...she would not do something like this again. 

He sighed as he already knows the answer to that. She would always put herself in dange
