Chapter 101 - CIVILIZATION SEED I (1/2)

Somewhere around the Plains, the two men look at each other, locked their gaze like irreconcilable enemies.

They both looked at each other. In each of their gaze lies many question and doubts towards each other.

It was intense atmosphere and energy ripples around Azief, with the existence of Laws coiling around him, and the clouds on top of them becomes clouded because of Azief Immortal Might but then Loki disarmed Azief with his innocent smile

'What do you mean who I am? I'm Loki. The Trickster.' He said while chuckling a bit, none of his expression betrays his words.

Azief snorted.

He was about to say something but then he stopped himself. He looks at the stars and look at the surroundings and he sighed.

'All of this has happen before' he said and as he was about to finish his word Loki cut him off by saying

'All of this will happen again' and Loki smirked.

Azief was shocked beyond belief. His suspicion has been partly answered. Azief knows this man…..in the future.

This is his most favorite quote and also the same thing he said to Will when explaining on what he really thinks the time paradox is.

He encapsulates the time paradox with this quote.

'Is time immutable? Or is it plastic?' Loki suddenly asked not expecting an answer. Azief look at Loki and for a while they both didn't say anything.

But then Azief sits back down and Loki just look at Azief and sighed as he began to move away again but Azief ask another question.

'Are you a friend? Or an enemy?' Loki did not turn back but he stopped.

'Will you believe whatever I say?' Loki asks.

Azief was silent. He did not respond. Only the sound of the crackling firewood and the wind replies Loki question and Loki just nodded.

Then Loki walk forward again but not before he said

'I'm a friend. Don't be too worried of the future and neglecting what is present. Whether you believe my words or not, I believe my actions have proved itself'

And as he walked away he could hear Azief scoffing and Loki just smiles bitterly.

He really is a formidable person. Even he is not yet a Sovereign; Loki could feel the presence of a Sovereign aura emanating from him.

That night Loki could not really sleep as he think about the implication if he reveals who he is.

Time is not a plaything. It doesn't like people playing with it not to mention manipulating it. Playing with it is dangerous. Changing it is even more dangerous

And that is maybe the reason why Azief did not pursue the matter more vigorously.

Because, maybe Azief knows how time works and he knows that knowing too much of the future is not always a good thing.

But in the end, Loki closes his eyes and went into his dreamland.

Azief was still there on that fire pit alone, when a blue lightning appeared for a second in that camp without a sound and suddenly there is a parchment in Azief hands.

Azief only smiles when he found the parchment on his hand. He opens the parchment and he smiles deviously.

Loki is not the only one with plans.

Then when he finished reading what is on the parchment, he throws the parchment into the already fading fire and the flames lick the parchment and they burn bright before slowly the fires dies

Then he got up, straightens himself up and went into his newly built tent as a smile was carved on his face.

************************************************************************

THE PLAINS

In the morning, the soldiers have already gathered around the wide area nearby the camp waiting for instruction.

They were briefed about last night situation and their leader who is Lord Shadow.

After the briefing, the soldiers were informed about what will happen today and all waiting for Lord Shadow to wake up while performing their morning drill with Wang Jian leading them.

In the tent, Azief has just woken up.

First, he cleans his face with a bucket of water and drink a potion from his bag.

He felt refreshed. Then he slowly went to one side of his tent and brews a coffee without a rush. He was really enjoying his morning.

Outside people are waiting for him but he must have his coffee first. Then equipping himself with his attire, he checks himself in front of a mirror.

When he finished brewing his coffee, he slowly sipped the coffee savoring every taste, while smelling to the nice fragrance.

He eats a few breads and then he look at the mirror and after making sure he looked as dashing as possible he got out of his tent

He realizes with his sense that the soldiers are gathered in the other side of the camp and then he runs and in one seconds he appeared beside Loki who was startled and almost drop the Seed from his hand.

He appeared before the gathering while smiling.

Sina, Sofia and Wang Jian were equally shocked.

They heard that Azief has Hyper Speed but they never see it in action.

One moment, he was not there, and then one moment later, he was beside them. This act not only shocks his friends but it also shocked the soldiers.

Abilities.

To have abilities is very rare since you have to defeat special monsters. Azief manages to get dozens of abilities is because of the Universe Orb helping him.

The soldiers is in awe because imagine if such person battles with someone who has no abilities.

To be anywhere at once. To be as fast as lightning. To hover in the sky like a God, having eyes on everything.

The soldiers all bowed looking at Azief. Azief just nodded and did not do anything else. Then he looked at Loki and asks him

'Loki, is that the Seed?'

'Yes.'

'Lord Shadow' Wang Jian cupped his hand again. Azief dismissed his formality

'Give it to me. And the gold too.' Azief said. Loki nodded as he gives Azief the Seed and three bags of holdings.

'Have you decided on this area Azief? If you are not satisfied we can find another place to plant the Seed.' Loki asked.

Azief nodded.

'We could find other place. I wouldn't mind' Sofia said as she comes closer to Azief and was standing beside him. Sina nodded from behind.

'No, this place is ok.'

'But it's not really strategic.' Sofia said offering her insights

'Then we will make it strategic.' Loki nodded looking at Azief decision. This is the demeanor of a Sovereign.

They shape the world and not the other way around.

Azief then look at the Seed in his palm.

The Seed was like a coconut fruit but with runic design carved unto it. It was blue in color and the runes were golden.

Azief hold the seed and information streams inside his mind. He instantly knows what to do.

Then he smiles.

'Back away' he ordered.

The soldiers hearing this order quickly backed away with Wang Jian leading them farther away.

Loki also takes some distance. Sina and Sofia walk hand in hand to a place not far away from Azief.

Azief after seeing that everyone has moved a distance away from him finally decided to activate the Seed.

He push the seed to the ground and it burrows into the soil and then Azief activate his Seed Forming Stage energy and then the Seed glows with luminesce light and the light, it covers the entire area.

Then notification appears in front of Azief.
