It kills without remorse

Destiny is cruel.

For the greater good?

Outside of Loki's mansion, a person or a person that can't be described by anything except its a  black humanoid figure seems to be waiting.

[Thy presence is annoying to this universe. What thou purpose of interfering with destiny?]

Its words are carried by the wind to its receiver.

Inside the mansion. Loki just stares at him.

Slowly he stood up but his body is still sitting. His purple soul floats toward the black figure.

[What thee doing on my humble residence?]

Loki didn't answer him but give a question and added another.

[10 Laws of Authority. Are you declaring a war between us?]

Loki's response shuts the black figure.

[Thou are interfering with destiny. Isn't that already declaring it?]

[Thou thinks I'm interfering with ye purpose? No, I don't interfere with thee.]

[I am doing my Job.] Loki whisper slowly.

[Thou can't fool me.] He shakes his head furiously.

'That's the first I use the Whisper of the fool to a higher being. It looks like it has some effect on my Word Authority.'

[I didn't fool thee. I am explaining, me, noble purpose. You, destiny has the job to make a path for every living life. Thou job is amazing. Me, just add some spices.]

[Chaos... I get it, but destiny is always looking. Fight destiny even thee has more authority than me. I can bring thee important ones with me.]

A heavy oppressive aura burst from Loki. His purple aura became like the void.

[Thou thinks I will let you go easy after what thee speaks?]

The day becomes night.

'Loki! Pull yourself together!!' I hear Sheila's voice in my mind.

'Sorry honey, If I let him the council will start to push me more.' I just stare at him.

'Why don't we just let them be? We have our life we don't have to protect them always.' Sheila said with deep anger.

'Honey, I am not protecting them. I'm doing my job. If I let them die because I'm afraid. Then how will our humble life last when this crap came knocking at our very own house?' He seriously said.

'But please just go back here.' Sheila sadly. I can see her crying at the corner of my sight.

[Thou will destroy things if thee wants war. I will give thee want ye seeks.]

They float reaching the space.

[Ceric Rotarsam, I Forbid life to be threatened.]

Worlds suddenly have been covered by thick black mists.

[Welhan Destiya, Future, and pass reach from the very life.]

'Eve, Use all my energy to make-up for the insufficient Omni-Force.' I said to her.

[But you will be put to coma after this!]

I know both are seriously worried and angry with me but I must do this.

'Do it.' I commanded.

I need to be stern.

Loki's form changes as he forced himself to use the cosmic body.

His stick-like soul figure becomes a giant. That can be measure by the stack of 3 Jupiter his body looks like the chaotic void.

The destiny man's back appears a colorful roulette as he slowly grows bigger then stopping to Loki's waist.

[Thou destiny authority can't do me any harm.]

Loki said slowly reaching toward the black figure. His finger shifts to become a drill.

[Thou can't be harmful but thee also can't harm me.] Its voice carried arrogance.

[All things can be harmed.]

The black figure suddenly shook.

[What thee have done‽]

*Wooohhhh... Woooohhhhh...

Silent vibration is spreading in every direction.

As Loki's drill finger comes near him an invisible glass-like barrier emerges but it slowly is having a crack on it.

[All things crumbles.]

Like a declaration.

Then the barrier broke.

Loki's finger pierces him.

But like the time is reversed.

The black figure appears again but faraway from him.

[I may be weak to thee but my Authority cover's life, not power. Thou musn't be prideful that thee win now. I will retaliate if thee interfere with my job. Even if I Sacrifice me life I will bring harm to close to thee.]

As the figure slowly vanishes as the roulette still floating in the space.

When it gives off a blinding light it vanishes.

Loki's figure vanish.

Inside his room.

Eve rushes inside with Sheila.

Seeing Loki bleeding from his orifices.

"Shit! He forces himself to use it."

Loki force himself to use the Cosmic body to send a warning that he can kill him if he pushes.

But it makes him weaker as he uses different energy inside his body to fuel it. His body has to shoulder the full brunt of transformation.

He only manages to collect 75% of the needed force to use the cosmic body.

But time doesn't wait for anyone. Even after using time Chamber.

"Eve, what happens to Loki?" Sheila seems horrified as she sees him.

Lying on the floor with blood slowly seeping out from his orifices.

"He's okay, but his body will on coma as it needs to recover." Eve sigh as she inspects him with the system function.

Sheila just nodded as they move him to. Better and comfortable bed after cleaning him.

"We need to take care of him," Eve said.

"We will just swap out every day. One for Zeid and the other for Loki." Sheila with her grim face.

"We will be fine. His clones are still active. He just needs rest."

Eve replied.

Sheila just nodded and sits near him. Eve leaves as she knows Sheila needs time.

"Thank you." Mutters by Sheila as Eve walks out.

Late that night Sheila accompanies Loki to his bed.

"Do you remember our journey? I still don't know why you feel the need to protect the mortals. They can be replaced easily."

Sheila looks at his sleeping face but she can feel his presence is awake.

"Love is the most powerful thing in the whole universe. I agree with you. At first, I hate you. I hate everybody because they always think about themselves first. Every host I have become either power-hungry or wish for others to serve them."

She smiles brightly.

"I remember the red sun where you roast a stake."

"I remember the cotton candies you make during our rest."

"I remember those flowers you give to me."

"The blue sky were you pull the sun closer."

"The night where you write my name on the moon."

"You said 'Romantic date with a red wine plus a stake and fine moonlight. It's just a pity I can't eat you.' I still don't know what it means."

"But I love what you give me till now. I will accompany you wherever you will go."

Sheila reaches for his body and wraps her arms to his body.
