Chapter 1039: Internal problems of pandemonium (1/2)

Loki respected Sasha and even admire her loyalty. And Sasha respected and admire Loki self-sacrifice, and his vision that could see the bigger picture, a better tomorrow

And the other reason is because Loki is Sina beloved. And Sina is her friend. If Loki kill the Broker and take his place, there is no going back

There would be a huge target on his back. he would become a fugitive in every sense of the word.

The infamy is no longer undeserved. It would become real. She knows that Loki wanted to enter the Crime Alliance.

Once he enters that, regardless of the declaration of Death Monarch, the hunt for him would intensify.

Many people died in the Multiversal Convergence. People are angry and they know who to blame. And that anger would explode.

The whole world will be searching and trying to capture him. Because, like Loki said, Azief would not always be in this world.

He would leave. And when he would leave, Pandemonium would have bigger problems to deal with rather than focusing their forces trying to protect Loki

As long as Loki did not enter Pandemonium, there would always be a chance that he could be captured or killed.

Not that it would be easy to capture and kill the Trickster, but the possibility is there. Sasha do not know the right answer.

So, she could only sigh inwardly as Loki keep talking to her as she tries to sort out her messy thoughts

Loki did not know what Sasha is thinking about as he continues talking

'If my brother isn't there, foreign interference would flame more resentment between the forces in Pandemonium and borne more conflicts. We don't know that the next time my brother decided to leave Earth, it might take him a decade to come back'

And then he smiles as he said

'Or maybe he would not even come back. I shudder to think the impact of such long absence would do to the forces inside Pandemonium. Last time is bad enough. The Central Government had cut off contacts with the Three Army. The Three army establishes their own court independent of the Central government'

'If my brother did not return home at that time, and resolve the misunderstanding between the civil officials and the military, then I suspected that the only way to resolve that conflict were for them to kill each other or annihilate each other'

'I don't think it would come to that' Sasha said

But Loki shakes his head

'There were nearly a civil war in this land. All because of the death of some soldiers and ministers. That is how fragile the peace in Pandemonium'

'And that is how easy it was for one person to sow distrust and discord between the forces in Pandemonium. Death Monarch gave us a lot of leeway. That had caused us to do our own things. When he is here, it is easy. Because he is the focal point of our unity. But when he is not there, then we are like lone branches. Easy to break.'

Sasha went silent at this. She also known about that conflict. And she also knows how bad it was. There was the Southern Court and the Eastern court.

The military exercise control over the four corners of Pandemonium while the Central Court governs the administration sending decrees to the city lords.

There was a sense of alienation. There was this feeling of discontent that was about to blow up. And it was all because of one-person scheme. It was Void scheme

One person was all it takes for the government to fragments into pieces.

It tells more about the disunity between the forces of pandemonium rather than highlighting Void scheme

Void scheme was not particularly genius. It was even elementary. It was simple to uncover. But there are some people, in the military, in the court that wanted the conflict to come to a head.

But no one wanted an open all-out war against each other.

At least, it did not reach that point.

At that time, the battle was conducted in the dark. The civilians did not feel the shakings of the political fragmentations.

But for the forces in Pandemonium, the reason they did not touch the civilians or embroiled them in their political struggle is simply because it would then become a justification for the other forces….to attack under the banner of righteousness

And the other reason was that no one would dare to bear the wrath of Death Monarch when he returns if he were to find out that some subordinate forces of him touches the people of Pandemonium.

He might forgive political transgression but he would not forgive involving unaffiliated citizens into the struggles of the powerful

What he said, is his will. And his Will, will be done. Fortunately, the matter was resolved
