Chapter 997: Loki The Trickster
Chapter 997: Loki The Trickster
"So how are things on the Battlefield going?" Father Black laid on his chair in his well decorated office, as he asked Clawed.
Clawed Sighed, "Not so good. Till now, they have been unable to locate Loki. At this point, I am begining to doubt that he is even in that fight." Clawed added.
However, Father Black shook his head, "No! He is definitely there. Loki is an Half Demon. he does not belong fuloy to their bloodline. Demons usually look down on all creatures most especially gods whose orogins depended on the believe of human beings in the first place.
And the Abaddon Raoyal family is one that praises war and the value of it. Loki at this moment is trying to make a name for himself using the invasion of our Eighth earth.
The Demons of the royal family will not follow him unless he shows his leadership by example. Therefore, he is definitely on the battlefield. Besides, Demeter the Eighth Earth is our own. If he tries to hide anywhere, we will definitely know. She will tell one of the Lenny family members. For this fight, Loki can not use his trickery. he would have to show his talent head on."
Clawed nodded at the explanation that father Black had just given. After all, so far, father black had used loki’s cunny against him. He was sure that the old man will be right. Then again, another question came to his mind.
"Father black, in this battle, our aim is to kill Loki, correct?"
Father black nodded.
Clawed massaged his jaws in thought. "It is eay to believe that the aim of the Demons is to kill the gods and take over the earth. But is that really the aim? Don’t you think that it is all too simple. i mean... Is it not too simple a strategy even for Loki. Or at least the royal Abaddon family.
On hearing those words, father Black rose to his feet.
His eyes shot open as a range of thoughts flooded into his mind, "Clawed, how is -the formation for this battle?"
Clawed waved his hand and a holographic projection of the battle, made by cosmic energy appeared before them.
"The Abaddon Royal family is a war family. This means that unlike the Asmodeus royal family that his more interested in passing down their Arcane abilities to the next generation by Blood and Lust, the Abaddon family has over time generated weapons specifically for war.
Many of these weapons are gene oriented in nature. An example would be the Rank 2 Hell beasts that they use as their Carrier ships.
Usually, the pattern is like this. The stronger the Hell beast is, the greater the power it can produce and the more natural power it should have against demons and devils. In fact, by nature we should not even be able to control them.
However, The Abaddon royal family use Rank 2 hell beasts that are extremely docile and then genetically modify their bodies to become weapons and that is how they have the big guns that they use to battle.
Each Hell Beast is six times the size of a Boss, and for this attack, they came with about two hundred. We are indeed lucky. The Cosmic law places restriction on the kind of Hell beasts that can enter the Plane, else, we should be seeing some of those wilder Rank 4 and rank 5 hell beasts. just like the ones that destroyed the Plane that we know as Imperilment today."
Father Black nodded, "and what about the gods. Are they faring any better?"
"Well, the gods do not have potentially chaotic beasts like the hell beasts, but they too, are not lacking behind when it xomes to strength and ability.
In fact, gods are a threat that even the Royal demons acknowledge but still treat like trash. Nevertheless, the gods use Voidlings as mounts. These Voidlings of the void have been tamed and specially treated with Faith from their individual gods. As such, they are very special and obedient, but the true weapon of the gods is the GOD WEAPON."
"And what is that?" Father Black asked. He had never heard of anything of the sorts. Of course he knew that gods had weapons, but it was obvious that Clawed was implying something else entirely, and he was right.
"god weapons are specific weapons of faith born with the emergence of a god." Each God weapon is unique and it has both advantages and disadvantages. An example would be weapons that the Twin gods used when they first attacked the earth. Each weapon grants the god the ability to exert the will of their faith.
Of course, if it is a god that is afflicted with war, then their weapon will most likely be one to cause chaos, and if the god is affiliated with peace, it will be a weapon that ensures it."
Father Black suddenly stood up from his seat as he walked around the room in deep thought, "does that mean that the Weapon we had asked for. the same one that Loki used against the entity Grudge is a god weapon?"
"Hmmm, Well, that will be a ’yes’, and a ’no’. Its a Yes, because that was only a little piece of the weapon. Hera is a major god like Demeter. They cannot enter the eighth earth, and her weapon cannot truly be peeled from her."
"What do you mean?"
"For Hera, her weapon is her skin. In essence, what she gave Loki was a tear of her own flesh."
"Oh, you don’t say." Father Black nodded in understanding. That just went to show how far that the gods were willing to go just to make sure that they had taken the earth. Unfortunately, Loki had backstabbed them.
"It is a surprise that she is still willing to give us the weapon even though Loki had backstabbed her." Father black added.
"True, I was most surprised myself. Nevertheless, it is a good thing that Nikky can make use of it. According to her, she might even be able to conform how it works to even Demon and devil kind."
Father Black nodded at such elating news. If they managed to have such a weapon, it would be another Ace in their Arsenal against the rest of the Cosmos.
Father Black looked out of the window of the room, and into the distance, at the Battle between gods and demons that looked like there was no end in sight.
He could not help but see their win in this.
However, something bugged him. Something bugged him that he could not truly understand.
It was subtle, and indeed, it had been at the back of his mind for a while. However, he could not put a finger on what it was.
Just then, Clawed spoke up again, "its a good thing gods are born with weapons. Entities are too troublesome to deal with."
CLAP!
It was like lightning CLAP in Father Black’s Brain. He immediately turned to Clawed, "what did you just say?"
"Well, I said that Entities are too troublesome to deal with."
"No! Not that. Before that. What did you say?"
"Uhhh... Its a good thing gods are born with weapons!?"
Father Black’s eyes suddenly widened in realization. "Clawed, Loki is a god, is he not?"
Clawed nodded, "well, from what we gather from the gods, he is a half breed. But yes, he is still a god."
"Doesn’t that mean that he was also born with a god weapon?"
Clawed nodded, "Yes it is."
"But I have never seen him use it. Even in the fight against the Entity, he did not use his own weapon." father Black thought back to every time he had had an engagement with Loki. Truly, Loki had never exposed his god weapon. For one that talked a lot expecially during their chess games, that was particularly very odd.
Father Black’s brows creased in sudden realization. "Clawed, get me Nikky. We have to find Loki."
Clawed did not understand what Father Black was going on. However, he immediately sent for her.
Nikky, hated being pulled out of her Lab, But Father black had never been polite with his summons. If she did not come, he was just going to open a portal and pull her through it.
"I want you to find Loki. I remember you have a satellite in space. The one Crusher helped you take there through a portal. Use it and find Loki."
"But shouldn’t he be in the Battlefield?" she asked.
However, Clawed immediately answered. "According to the report that we got from the gods, he is not there."
Nikky raised a hand, and pushed some holographic buttons on her wrist watch. An Holographic screen appeared.
After a while, she shook her head.
"According to the satellite, he is not on earth. And I cannot check the battle area. the radiation levels there are sick-crazy. I can’t even tell who is our ally and Enemy in that mix."
Father Black frowned even deeper. "I think we have been tricked..."
