On the horizon there is harsh wind and thunderous storms. The blast of energy from the battle between Kaiju and Death Monarch spread even to here
The waves would be stimulated and it crashes against the side of this lone ship
Each battering of the waves creates deafening sound that could make the heart trembles.
But his ship….is not an ordinary ship. It is small and it is alone but it is very not an ordinary ship
There is an aura of energy that surrounded the ship. This energy is unseen and most of the time remains invisible.
But as the waves keeps on pounding, every once in a while the energy field could be seen via the vibrational effect
The energy field around the ship was fluctuating, responding to the constant barrage of energy blasts that were striking the area.
It was as if the ship was a living organism, fighting against an invisible foe with all its might.
Yewa Hafar look at the sky and he smirks
'Death Monarch…..the name is apt. Even now, death seems to cover the world. Right now, even I have to hide from your edges' he thought to himself
The sky above the ship was a beautiful and terrifying sight, filled with bolts of lightning that illuminated the dark clouds, like dragons that swims across the clouds, and they are swimming it with a horde of thunder dragons slithering in every crevice of the sky
The thunder echoed across the sea, drowning out the sound of the crashing waves. To him it was like as if nature itself had declared war against the lone ship.
But he knows that this thunder, this lightning is all over the Turbulent Sea. It is the expression of anger of the Heavens, of Death Monarch of Kaiju
The mood of which affects the world
Despite the chaos that surrounded it, the ship remained steadfast.
Its mast towering above the waves, its sails billowing in the wind, the ship seemed to be defying the elements.
Yewa Hafar takes his breath and then close his eyes.
He exhales and open his eyes.
Then he moves his finger, like he was stretching them out and a gust of wind seems to swirl in every finger, the heat of the Sun, the coldness of the water, the unpredictable nature of the wind, the hardness of minerals all seems to gather on each of his finger
His eyes then look toward Loki, his killing intent suddenly burst out
'Loki. I am going now' Yewa Hafar suddenly said and the moment he said it, he thrust his palm forward.
BOOOM!
A powerful burst of energy erupted.
The sky above his head split opens, the thunder that was swimming across the clouds suddenly exploded into motes of arcs of electricity that quickly fades away
The waves around the ship were repelled and exploded into misty gas
Loki was closing his eyes but then the moment he felt that the energy changes, he opens his eyes
The palm print dashes forward, formed by the wind and the elements of the world.
The palm print is six feet in height and it is pushing forward with an unstoppable momentum
Loki kicks the ground, retreated three feet backward and kicks the palm print with his kicking attack
'Hey!' Loki shouted, shouting like he was not just attacked with a lethal strike.
The palm prints dissipated but he was pushed out from the ship, landing on the sea.
But he did not fall down into the water, instead, he glides through the water and stand above the water, moving and swaying according to the waves.
Loki was about to prepare to attack but then he saw the ship began to move.
'Hmm?'
The ship did not move toward Death Monarch and Kaiju battle, it did not move toward the island, instead, it seems to sail toward the open sea.
'Retreating?' Loki cold not believe this. He refuses to believe that Yewa Hafar came all this way to simply watch the battle.
'I overlooked something' in the end this is the conclusion that Loki had reached. He had overlooked something but were
'The island' he thought of all the important characters in the future that is on the island right now.
He omitted out the few important ones like Sofia, Katarina Hirate, Raymond.
These are too obvious of a target.
And it is too hard of a target.
Even though Yewa Hafar is a very powerful being, since he took a vessel to come to Earth that means just like everyone else, just like him, he had to re-learn everything and raise his level and realm just like everyone else
With Raymond and all the important characters in the future all on higher realm than him, it would be every hard to scheme against them.
Given enough time, Yewa Hafar probably could create a plan like that.
But this war is unprecedented and it is not something that Yewa Hafar anticipated and it is also not something that Loki had planned.
He had predicted it, but that is from his deduction and not because he knows the future.
So, Yewa Hafar have little time to create a plan to affect the powerful people. So….it must be someone else
'Think out of the box' he mutters to himself and the moment he thinks of something that Yewa Hafar would never do, he got the answer
If he removes all the others prejudices, he had about Yewa Hafar, he got one conclusion.
Yewa Hafar always wanted to direct the course of time back to its original position.
But Loki had changed too much.
Even though he changes only little the effect snowballed and today, the current timeline looks nothing like the timeline where Yewa Hafar lord, the Destroyer wins the battle
Form the very beginning Yewa Hafar arrive on this planet, he has been doing all he can to revert back the changes made by Loki.
And that is the prejudice he had against Yewa Hafar. It is that he would not act against something that is already destined.
And to Loki, this is highly advantageous to him. That is why he did not change certain point of time. Why he let some event plays out naturally.
As long as there is this balance, Yewa Hafar action could be limited and could be predicted. But what if Yewa Hafar saw the only way to break this balance is to literally break the balance.
And so, there is only one answer. Something that unexpected for him to do. Something totally out of character
A person that should not be touched and didn't need to be touched
But he touches it
'Paulette!'
the answer come almost instantly and Loki no longer look at that ship.
Instead, he looks toward the island of Arturia in the distance and he kicks his feet toward the water
the water exploded and Loki turns into a blur as he moves with great speed
On the ship, Yewa Hafar look at the opening horizon of the distance and he laughed like he never before
'Now, we all could start all over again. My pawn has moved forward while you are still collecting chess pieces'
'Hahaha!' Yewa Hafar rarely shows his emotion but right now he is very happy. And so, he laughs
And the wind and the storms all around the ship covers him and just like the way he came, he disappeared without much of a fuss.
No one notice this lone ship when it came and no one notice this lone ship when it leaves.
Just like him.
A wanderer in a big vast world
And the laugh become louder.
...…..
A lone ship sails the sea
And above the ship, there is a raven. This raven has dark feathers and a divine aura shrouding itself
This raven has intelligence in its eyes and it squawk and then it flies away.
No one notices this raven, just like no one notices the ship.
On top of a giant turtle, inside a weirdly decorated by beautiful tavern, an old man with one blind eyes smiles.
Everyone in the tavern is now looking back at the broadcast device now that the connection is connected again.
But this old man is no longer interested in seeing the battle. He already could see who is winning and now he knows that that old guy from Olympus probably would not come down.
He went out of the tavern and then he looks at the sky. He saw the Heavenly Will of this world, but the Heavenly Will of this world could not see him.
He looks and his gaze penetrate the Ten Seas and the hundreds of continents, passing through mountain and cities until his gaze stopped at a woman.
One woman has seven swords on her back, another woman is lying down unconscious surrounded by people.
His eyes then shine.
But no one could see this light.
And if anyone could see the eye of this old man right now, they would see that inside his pupils there are runes floating.
It is like he is seeing runes when there is none.
Then he smiles.
This old man simply said
'I now see the cause and effect of all of this' then he sighed.
'I didn't pay much attention to what happened on Earth last time. It is no wonder I don't know. Even though the cause and effect are hidden from me, I could see still a few bits of cause and effect of this matter. This woman is a precursor to a great war'
This old man came down to Earth and all he wanted to do is to see Azief. Earth has always been special. It has been so since its creation.
An old prophecy has been related to this planet since before the first atom appears on this area of nothingness.
Is it that surprising that the Creator could simply create things out of nothing? If there is an empty sheet, why is it hard for him to simply paint things into existence?
He looks again at the two women.
'Now, the cause and effect between these two are tangled. With my calculations, they should not be tangled at all. In fact, they should not have crossed each other in each of their destiny.'
Then the old man laughed, his laugh drowned by the rushing sound of the wind
'Yewa Hafar, you are flipping the entire board because you could not stand The Trickster of Midgard meddling with your affairs'
'So, you wanted to make the game more complicated. Since you could not get a head start, no one should get a head start? You are quite petty and did not change at all'
Then this old man looks up.
This time he sees further than before. He is not looking at the Heavenly Will anymore. Instead, he wanted to see something else
His vision passes the skies, through the stars, through the planets, through the black holes, seeing through dimensions and his gaze rested on a powerful being sitting on a magnificent throne
A pair of blue eyes look toward the old man.
This being has a pair of blue eyes that seems to pierces through all deception and lies. This being wore a blue scale armor and there is an energy of the world around him, and the smell of the sea
This being is Poseidon. And the old man is Odin. Spanning universes, dimensions and galaxies, they stare at each other like they were looking at each other just a few feet from each other
Poseidon seems to understand why Odin is looking at him
He simply said
'Zeus doesn't know.'
Odin nodded and avert his gaze. He simply laughed and enter back the tavern on the back of that giant turtle
In another place in the Universe, sitting on a red throne on a broken star, there is another person.
Most of the time he would watch the tournaments on his domain but after he found hope, he had been looking mostly at Earth
And today, he got something. He saw what Loki of Midgard did. And he saw what Yewa Hafar did. And each time these two traded moves, this being smiles
This being who sat on a broken star is Wargod. And today, he is happy.
'More people enter the game. The stake has always been high but there were not enough players. Enter. The more the merrier!' and he laughs just like Yewa Hafar had laughed before.
A joyful laugh
Earth didn't know that today, one woman falls unconscious and affected the future like someone had just detonated a bomb
And so, times moves again. And destiny and fate once again like a well-oiled cog machine began doing its job.
Correcting courses
And so, some people laughed and some people frowned. One thing is sure, that the sure thing had just become uncertain.
And there is nothing more interesting than that
