Chapter 1052: A brief walk in the nowhere land (1) (1/2)
Nowhere Land
A few hours before Shinji discovered the cave, Loki and Trisha went inside the portal and is back to Nowhere Land.
The Nowhere Land before the expansion of the world was somewhere beneath the island of Jan Mayen.
It is a Norwegian volcanic island in the Arctic Ocean.
There is no permanent population there before the Fall and after the Fall, there is not even a lot of people there considering monsters of the sea sometime would come up from the bottom and rest in the island.
It is basically an empty island after the Fall. With monster roaming around the area and the waves of the Arctic Ocean bring coldness that is colder than ever
It is an island partly covered by glaciers, mountainous and have three prominent lakes. After the Fall, the island is claimed by Denmark under the World Government lead.
Things happens and it had been returned back to Norway during the six years of Death Monarch absence.
Still, it is not an island of importance.
The World Government had taken the island to construct one of their black sites there.
It is a good place to construct a black site.
It is far from human cities. Not many people know of its existence. And it is an island. Add a couple of magical fortifications around the island and it could be quite an impenetrable island.
Though, one must question the obsessiveness that World Government has with islands. Maybe, it is just to fit with the aesthetic of their floating Island of Peace
They did get the island and they did try to construct the black site…. but with disastrous result
the constant attack of sea monsters (which is titanic in size) and the inhospitable climate of that area during a storm that would break down most of their technological device and buildings had causes them uninterested.
Most of them are actually the schemes of Loki.
After all, if the World Government had used the island as their black site, sooner or later, they might find some irregularities on the island and Loki own place would then be discovered
So, they pull out from the project.
As for the return of the island to Norway it is simply a gesture of goodwill and to ease the relations between the two country.
In the past, some party of Europe is under the rule of the World Government while the other part is under the influence of the Republic and other forces.
Denmark and Norway was also in the World Government sphere of influence at that time.
It wasn't until the World Distribution Event that the entire Europe is ruled by the Republic and the North America ruled by the World Government
And it took a few more years before Europe truly acknowledge the Republic as the ruling force of Europe.
During the time under the rule of the Republic, the acknowledged leaders of Norway and Denmark, with Denmark still having a king, and the representative of the Senate of the Republic, and the leader of Norway, Denmark in a symbolic gesture of goodwill propose the return of the island back to Norway in the Senate
The proposal was approved by the Right Chancellor.
As there is no objection by the left and High Chancellor, the proposal went through and the ownership of the island returns back to the hand of Norway.
This useless island in the eyes of many and good only to further some political agenda in the Senate actually bore a secret prison.
If they knew that the island actually houses one of the most well-guarded and secretive prison in the world, they would not be so quick to throw this island to one another like it is some kind game of exploding bombs
But right now, this island is no longer could be categorized as an island.
At least if one looks at the size. It resembles the entirety of Europe and Asia combined together. That is how large the island right now
There are mountains that reaches the size of Everest, and tall hills.
There is large rivers and forest all around.
There are large monsters that burrows underneath the surface of the land, monsters that slithers on the ground, flies in the sky and swimming in the ocean
Some of them are the original monster that have evolved because of the mass of energy that is spreading all over the world.
But there are also monsters that had come out from the portals and mix with the original monsters.
The shape of the island is still the same, only the sizes that had changed. And other than, there is also more obvious changes like the climate of the island.
It is not only colder; the winds are also harsher. The wind could freeze the air. When it storms it would bring down icicles of ice from the clouds.
