Lord Shadow - Chapter 1609: This Timeline

Borgan spoke about Erika once and from that conversation Azief could tell that the inheritance of Borgan could be passed down to Erika.

Asargan essence is in the ring, a true Etherna who is the source of speedster power.

If Will is given even a few slivers of essence of Asargan, then maybe Will would also find his grand path

and his path toward strength might differ from other people just like how Azief method of getting stronger began to diverge from the conventional method pointed out by the system

But then who is Vorgan should correspond to?

There is only one person around Azief that he could think correspond with Vorgan

Loki

Vorgan powers are in deceit.

When he deceive, the world changes it reality to suit the lie. There is a bit of power of distorting reality by using the power of faith.

There is also a certain application of the power of words to change the reality

Vorgan power is like a mx of the power of word, of faith and of the soul. When he speaks, he crafted a lie, but if people believe it, right down to their soul, Vorgan coucal manipulate that to change reality itself.

After all, what is reality? It has many different forms and everyone experience reality very differently.

An addled mind would see the world differently from a person who is sane. But even the sane one does not always see the same reality.

Nothing is more fragile than so called realities in front of Vorgan.

Loki is a trickster. And Vorgan seems to give Azief that vibe.

And then looking at the Etherna that appears in the forge, Azief could not help but thinking of something terrifying

Why is it, thing seems to repeat itself? Like a broken record.

Borgan in his plans to leave a hope for her race assemble a few of her friends. And her friends coincidentally are all someone that Azief in his life right now could form connection with the Etherna

There is Borgan who could see the future. And it was like Azief is looking at Erika. And for a moment, the image of Erika and Borgan seems to merge.

There is Vorgan. Vorgan itself is very much alike Loki

There is Asargan who is like Will.

There is a sense of destiny and fate weavings its thread again.

Now, coincidentally all of the powers and the abilities of these people are also in the ring.

And he just so happen have people who he could give this power to.

Borgan advice could be given to Erika

Asargan essence could be given to Will.

Vorgan essence could be given to Loki.

They all have a corresponding attribute and fate and destiny that complement with these Ethernas.

Then if that is the case, then what about him?

Who does he correspond to?

But that question is not as important as what he just discovered. There is this kind of sense of destiny and fate repeating itself.

He wanted to ask all of these questions.

But clearly he knew this is an answer that he would probably not get. There is this instinct of his.

He believe that if he ask the question Borgan would not answer him.

He did not ask the question and instead look at what is happening inside the forge.

There is only Borgan in the forge now.

And she is looking at the ten floating rings. It is still emanating the power of rules and laws.

Borgan then made a grasping motion and all of the ten rings flew towards her.

“To carve the ten rings and imbue it with the essence of lives, it needed a bonding agent. I have seen the future and I have seen my own future destruction. And I live on as a Great Will in the future Omniverse”

She chuckles a bit

“There would not be only one world and only one dimension. But there would be many. It would be so beautiful , so diverse, so….colourful. All of it must have been written by the Supreme One in His throne”

“Ten Etherna needs Phaitos to become the bonding agent. And for these rings to become one it also needed a bonding agent” And saying this Borgan laugh

Azief had a premonition of what Borgan is going to do and as just he expected Borgan opens her arms and the rings floated above her hands.

lightsvel And then light flew out from Borgan body.

And Azief frowns. Azief thought that Borgan would also put her essence into the ring. But this does not seem like what Vorgan and Asargan did before

This is something else.

“What is that?”

“Phaitos throws himself into the forge, bonding the ten rings. Asargan and Vorgan put an essence of themselves, putting their inheritance in that sliver of their essence. And I want to create a gate between the past and the future I saw. And so, I have to sacrifice more.”

She paused for a second and then said

“My body become a planet, and there is machinations of fates and destiny in that place. The Last Son of a Destroyed Panet will come and made a deal, the Three Sisters would scheme and plan and thus destiny and fate weavings its thread.”

“My body become part of the Great Will of the Omniverse. But not all of me become part of the Great Will” And she smiles

“There is a part of my soul in the ring and this is the reason why you meet me in here. Why I could talk to you right now like I am still alive”

And then horror flashed through Azief face. Because he understood something

“You are still alive’ aren’t you?”

And Borgan smiles widely.

“A part of me still lives in the ring. The me now. I have seen it all, all those ancient years ago. And I still watches. I am in the ring. But only for this moment” Borgan smiles and Azief began to realize something

“You’re fading”

And Borgan nodded

“I am here to make sure that these memories is not forgotten. So that when the time comes, I could give the true wielder of these rings the appropriate knowledge to know. To master the ten rings. To understand something about us. Yes, what happen to us is the product of our own sins. But there is also good among us. There is good”

“you did all this, waited all of those years, just to do this?”

“You don’t need ten rings” Borgan said.

“You only need one” Borgan said

“You know I have seen you before” At these words of Borgan Azief frowned.

“What do you mean?”

“the you in the deleted timeline. Should I say…the first draft?” and she chuckles at her joke that only she understand

“You have the ten rings and with it you run amuck all over the Omniverse. You fought the Jade Empire; you bring terror to the Three Thousand realms and you fought against the powerhouse of the Universe relying on the ten rings. But you never truly mastered them. You only know the form but not the meaning. And because of that you never truly wield the ring as your weapon” Azief hearing this frown and then ask

“Then why now? What is different this time?”

Smiling Borgan answer

“Everything”

“And I could not be happier”

She laughs and chuckles and then said

“Things that you never did before, you did it now. People you never met before, you met them this time. Things you never experience before, you experience them now. And some beings are watching. And watching you, step by step, slowly diverging from the path you were supposed to go…” she paused for a second and then smiling she continues

“Makes them feel full of hope”

“The future is hard to change. That has been the same from my time to yours. Fate and Destiny is not that easy to manipulate. Their correction power is very good you know? Even under the framework of the Supreme One, Destiny and Fate always find a way to bring back the story to its destined path”

At this she chuckles.

“I saw it all. I guess that is my curse….and my blessing. When I was a child, I see the fate of my people. When my race is about to eradicated, I perform another divination. And then I saw this future”

“This future?”

And Borgan nodded

“This particular future. You and me, speaking with each other, in this space between quantum entanglements, between magic and ancient mysteries. Between space of consciousness that could not be explained, between dimension you did not even know exist. This…..is the future I saw, and I have dreamed for this moment for so long that sometimes I even confuse it for a long dream” then she chuckles happily

“But, here you are. And here I am. Talking. In this space, in the same way I have always envisioned it”n–)(/–.-(/-1/.n

And she could not help but smile. She then chuckles. And then she laughs
