Chapter 985: The reformer of pandemonium (2) (2/2)
'This room is fitted with all kinds of runic inscription and other symbols that even I with the extensive knowledge of the Pandemonium Library do not recognize. It is a room to hide from Divine Sense. Maybe, it is like what the Trickster said, that he wanted to cover this letter and the content from Death Monarch. Or maybe he simply wanted us to believe that and wanted to hide it from someone else'
Sasha did not answer as she too was thinking about the deduction of Lukas
There is an implication that there is a spy.
That is the implication of Lukas word.
Loki is as complex as Death Monarch.
If Death Monarch appear mysterious because of his silence, Loki was the opposite. He would say one thing and do another
One should not trust him at face value.
He is adept at using other people desire against them. He plays with your fears, feed your doubt and nourish your desire.
And when he got what he wanted, then you are left to dry. People always said Loki the Trickster.
The Trickster is his title
It is not only because he had taken the name Loki, the very same name as the Norse god of trickery.
It is also because his personality is truly like that of a Trickster.
Most of the common people would not know the inside story of the many trickeries that Loki had done.
Those who knows, know how tricky it is to deal with Loki.
His enemies usually steer their way away from him and if they can, they don't want to clash with Loki
Loki himself is a man of many faces.
Nobody knows which side he is on.
He could appear to be on your side but when all the cards are down, who knows?
Maybe, there is Joker card in the deck and when all is revealed, you might find out that he is not at your side at all.
There is always a trump card.
Where would he hid it?
Inside that hand sleeve?
In his pockets? Under the sole of his shoes?
That is what is so frustrating about it. He never shows all of his card. Even the deck of the cards is probably not the only one he had.
'Haish' she thought inwardly.
When the common people think of Loki, they would think of the little brother of Death Monarch
They would think of one of the integral founding members of Pandemonium.
Everyone knows the story of how Loki recruited and save Wang Jian who then went on to became one of Pandemonium pillars.
A powerful but close to the people kind of person.
Loki with all of his bad reputation actually have quite the good reputation among the common people of Pandemonium
He was close to the people unlike the other great heroes and heroines of this era
Death Monarch Azief sit tall on his dark throne, like a guardian god. He is worshipped and look upon in awe. People felt instinctive fear and awe when facing him
Raymond is the Supreme Commander of the World Government military forces. Like Death Monarch, he is put onto a pedestal.
How about Katarina?
She holed herself up inside her Ice Mountain and her punishment is swift and merciless.
She was elevated into a position of high stature and with her cold persona, not many would come close to such a woman.
Her beauty and her power bring the inferiority in one heart.
Then there is Jean.
Yes, unlike the other heroes and heroine of the world, he might seem approachable.
But, if he was really approachable, why was it the common people fears him and some even despise him?
Many people forget that during the invasion of Europe, Jean and his generals had done many things one would find very reprehensible.
One could argue they were trying to survive. That it was war. And Jean had changed. But, it still did not change what happen.
Jean had been good at managing his reputation after he had joined the Republic but some people still remembers. There is blood on his hands
Of course, after this it might change considering that today, Jean had probably save millions of people by using his Time Avatars.
Then there is Oreki and Hikigaya.
This two people have their close friends and family that they could be close with.
But to the rest of the people of Japan and the Council members of the World Government, Oreki and Hikigaya is a warlord.
One did not get the title of warlord by being nice
Then there are others.
But none of them is quite like Loki. Loki…yes…he is a pain in the ass to many powerful men and women.
He meddles in matters he did not have to and he has schemes that has always bear fruits
But, he rarely pulls in the innocents. Instead, many of his schemes and plots usually end up for the better for the common people
'Haish' she sighed inwardly
