Chapter 1037: For whose benefit (2/2)

There is a sense of calmness around Loki, a smile on his face, with a glint of mischief in his eyes. he wears a leather shoes, clean even when all around him seems to be the painting of chaos.

Trees cracking on its seams, dead birds and monsters, cracked earth and smell of soil like it caught on fire, all could be seen, heard and smell all around him

A picture of chaos.

Yet, in that picture, Loki seems to be standing in the center of it, like some kind of focal point of the painting, unaffected by all of it.

This time he dressed in a way that makes him look intimidating, imposing and elegant all at the same time.

'Like his brother, he sure likes to pressure his opponent even before they talk to each other' she thought to herself as she comes closer to Loki

There is no longer any green mist in the area. It seems to disappear completely.

Sasha is puzzled but she knew this must have something to do with the sudden surge of energy a couple of minutes ago

Loki had done something.

And because of that she became even warier. She tries to spread her Divine Sense. But the moment she did that, she frowned and her body trembles a bit.

Her eyes narrowed

'Too chaotic' she mutters under her breath.

In that moment when she tried to spread her Divine Sense, her Divine Sense bounced back from the area and she almost suffer an effect from a backlash of energy.

Fortunately, she did not force it.

Whatever Loki had done, it creates an unstable space and time around the area. And it is not some simple distortion which would go away in a few minutes.

This is a strong distortion of Laws.

The energy had distorted the concepts and laws of the world around here, from the laws of time and space, and also the elements.

She looks back at Loki, wonder what this Trickster is planning to do.

There is a broken house and in front of that broken house is Loki. The house itself seems to be hanging by a thread

Some of the house pillars is standing only by some kind of illusory green pillars that probably was made by Loki green mist.

If that were not there, then the house might already all crumbled.

And Loki was not alone. There is the Broker floating in the air, with chains around his hand and feet, floating weakly beside Loki

Nathan seems to be in a trance state, his eyes shows whites. There did not seems to be any response from him

Around the house is the scene of utter destruction. There are no clouds above the area. And there is a deep rift behind Loki. Half of the house had fallen into that rift, while the other half is teetering on collapsing.

All around, tears of time and space could be seen with the naked eye.

Sasha was puzzled.

There is many question in her head. But the most important question of them all, is Why wait? Why wait for her?

Loki smiles that charming smile towards her.

'Sasha, we meet again. It has been a long time since I see you' There is a smile on his face that would charm almost anyone.

That is the allure of Loki the Trickster. His face is a mask, and it is the same for his words and his demeanor.

All of it is a mask, to hide his true intention. Most people would be disarmed by his smile. So enchanting, so alluring, but Sasha is not anyone

She knew better than anyone how dangerous the smile of this man is. Tricks, secrets and lies. That is what Loki is. Everything about him is a lie.

To trust him when you are his enemies, his obstacle, is not a wise decision. And she also knew that the reason why he said that is not simply him being happy seeing her.

He had been hunting her for the six years.

One could imagine that Sasha mood at seeing him is quite complicated. She wanted to stop him from doing something that there is no going back from.

But at the same time Sasha herself is not quite fond of Loki. But she knew to ignore her personal feud with this man and focused on the more important thing.

Sasha narrowed her eyes and then she sighed

'Loki…you do not have to do this. Death Monarch had declared protection for you. Stop. Come with me to the Palace. No one is going to die today.'

And then she added

'Doing this…. will not benefit anyone' Loki chuckles
