Chapter 282 A Good Pat On The Back
Chapter 282 A Good Pat On The Back
"Grandmaster, I have returned."
Opening the limo's door, Butler Shen quickly sent his master in, fearing that he might've taken too long to return.
'Hmm...'
Dorian answered very lightly, sitting in the vehicle.
A gave one brief look at the forest. And soon, they were off.
Make a deal with that trickster? No way.
Dorian had neither accepted nor shown interest in whatever the man had to say.
Their conversation had gone a little something like this.
[Loki]: You have a lot of enemies, so why don't I help you free of charge?
[Dorian]: Thank you, but I think I can manage things for now. How much more interesting would it be to have me win without anyone's help?
His words had not only made Loki overly excited but had also saved his neck too.
He didn't want that troublemaker butting into his work and plans in and out. So to make the guy let him be, this was the only way.
Dorian had more or less grasped the mindset of this perverted and sick God.
What the guy wanted was good entertainment.
Dorian didn't know it, but initially, Loki planned to return in 2 years to see the big showdown.
But now... because of his interest in Dorian, Loki had decided to come over several months later.
That's right.
He was so pumped up that he planned to further crack the code of the room holding him, giving him more time to roam the cosmos undetected.
Apart from being an entertaining Chess Piece, something else intrigued him. And that was Dorian as a whole.
What exactly were his origins?
.
How odd.
Loki could see far into the origins of many heavenly beings and even Lucifer and those in the underworld... Talk less of seeing into a mortal with a single glance.
So why?
Why was this guy shrouded in a layer of mist when he tried to peer in?
No way!
Loki hated to admit it, but unless he figured out Dorian's origins, he wouldn't allow anyone to kill Dorian. Not even the heavens or those in the underworld.
What was funny was that with his overly inquisitive nature, success and mischief, he felt as though the matter was holding him hostage, preventing him from playing too much with Dorian.
Remember, he was a being who could get information at the drop of a hat in many places many couldn't.
There has never been any secret he wanted to find that he didn't.
So how could Dorian's matter not intrigue him?
If possible, he would've loved to strap Dorian on a chair and begin experimentation.
Too bad he always had those damn heavenly dogs on his ass, always trying to monitor his movements nonstop.
If not that he left a look-alike dummy in his cell, do you think he would be out here?
His time was limited since after a while, the prison system he cracked would be restored to its original form, destroying his dummy.
In the end, Loki was too interested in Dorian to see him die anytime soon.
Even without Dorian saying a thing, he decided to hold off the bigger threats far beyond Dorian's powers.
The boy was too weak! It would be a pity if he attracted the top deadly beings so soon.
Thinking like that, Loki appeared in another mortal world, discussed himself as another powerful demon, sweeping thousands of creatures at will.
But how did he do this without the demons feeling that a heavenly being was attacking them?
Heh...
That was all Loki's secret. As a trickster, if he couldn't even do this much in manipulation, then wouldn't his title be undeserving?
You look down on him too much!
.
--In another world.--
"Ahhhhhhh~"
Many creatures wailed in pain as an entire estate went in flames. To the marital eye, these flames were ordinary. But to those in the underworld, how could they not recognize flames baptized by the abyss?
With hate in their eyes, they looked at the being that caused it all.
"Seguros! How dare you?!"
"We see that after you newbie prince killed Asmodeus (prince of pride), you all are getting too bold! You dare to hit our prince of greed, Mammon's camp?! Bold!!!"
The men in the villa burned away into nothingness, filled with rage and absolute hate.
Till their last seconds, they were convinced that it was this guy, Seguros, that killed them.
? But at the very last moment when their soul was taken in judgment, they were so baffled and stunned into a daze.
"..."
What just happened?
After an underworld being kills another, shouldn't they get reborn into the abyss?
So why was it that they were now heading to the heavenly realm for judgment to get sent for judgment and countless reincarnations instead?
The energy and evil essence that killed them couldn't be called. So was it an error in the matrix?
Heh.
The answer was simple.
.
Loki had mimicked, hypnotized, and manipulated things so much that even the angels checking these creatures wouldn't understand why these creatures were sent to heaven after getting killed by their fellow underworld beings.
Hey... Loki was still supposed to be locked up. So how could he reveal himself?
Please!!!
With a wave of his hand, he killed all except one, leaving them to report the matter to their prince.
Like so, Loki began his play.
Whether they were from the old princes or the newbie princes.
Sometimes he would use raw strength, other times, he would mimic his ability to resemble those in the underworld, and so on.
Sigh... Could he say that it was almost too easy?
With fake horns popping out of his flesh, he held the survivors from the old Princes' sides, asking where the world they planned to make their biggest attack was.
No doubt, his actions would hasten the need for the old princes to clean up the new princes before all their plans were exposed.
Additionally, he also leaked 5~8% or a fraction of the plan to the newbie princes by acting as a trembling demon who was caught on the spot before sneaking away like a rabbit running for their life.
Heh.
Of course, seeing that he also destroyed many of the supreme beings from the newbie princes, you best believe they would also go to war with the old ones.
And during this time, because they wouldn't want that world to be discovered, the old princes would definitely limit entry into these worlds or stop their men from going in and out for the time being.
Laying low was best, lest they get followed by the enemy.
In that case, wouldn't their plans be all but futile?
Hey... Loki did so much that he wanted to pat himself on the back.
.
And just like that, he managed to keep the big top dogs focused on the war between all princes.
Heh.
No one ever thought of the humans or the real culprit acting in the shadows.
'Good… this should keep them busy for a while… hmmm… until I decipher the boy's origins, no one is to kill my plaything!'
