Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 643  Loki's Determination

A ploy by the government? A hoax? A scheme from enemy forces? Aliens? What was it? The world that seemed straightforward earlier, now seemed uncertain to the duo. However, they weren't the only ones noticing the strangeness of the situation. Yet, others didn't dare to do what they did tonight. However, those at the very top were still adamant on keeping everyone away from the sewage. No matter how many questions were asked, they remained silent. The chief police nodded his head vigorously, "Sir, please rest your head easily. We will be doubling patrol seeing how close we're getting." The man on the other side gave him more instructions that made him sit up. What? Is it already that time, so soon?

His heart hammered in his chest, unease also stirring in his belly. Despite him being in his office alone, he was still bobbing his head like a chicken, as though his superior was right beside him. His Superior's tone allowed no room for negotiation, when discussing such an important matter. The chief police felt a burning sensation overwhelm him the more he listened. "Sir, is it already time for Protocol C?" [Yes… it's time for Evacuation!]

Hiss~

Chief police officer Galdren, sucked in his breath, knowing how serious this matter was. They have to act cautiously, slowly taking people away bit by bit. According to his superior, they only had barely a few months to go. Of course, they can't wait for the last minute before evacuating, or the enemy would be alert. It has to be done little by little. Perhaps for now, 1 family in every street block will be randomly selected to 'go on a trip,' 'visit their loved ones somewhere far away', 'go abroad', 'go to school,' you name it. Whatever excuse they could make, has to be natural. That being said they'll also test out the people selected, in case some monster in human skin was lurking around. Each week, they must begin evacuations. It must be done so smoothly, and so cautiously. All countries in the world and continents were working hard to begin Protocol C. Suddenly, there was no division anymore, no racial favoritism, no bias against fenders, no hatred for enemy countries… nothing of that sort. Suddenly, the humans realized they had to be together to fight against a common enemy, here to enslave and feast on them all. Now, the atmosphere across the world was like a Pre-doomsday scene, where the military and many others knew, while the civilians remained in the dark. All armed forces secretly worked together to ensure Humanity's survival. Can you feel it? The tension in the atmosphere these days? Even the sewer creatures were left untouched because if 'humanity's hidden weapons' acted on them now, the enemy would be alerted. So they closed up those zones, acting as though clueless. In the meantime, all sewer passageways would soon get 'sealed' by those superpowered humans. The fact that this city still hasn't gotten its sewer ways sealed up yet, was only because these superhumans haven't reached their city yet. Don't think that this matter was just happening in their city. All around the globe, rodents and other small creatures were coming to the surface. Some even said this was a sign that the Black plague would return. There were all sorts of conspiracy theories out, but so long as humans didn't speak of the existence of 'monsters,' everyone breathed a sigh of relief. For as long as they can keep it this way, they must keep letting the enemy think they have no clue of what is coming. In war, the element of surprise was, and still is, one of the best tactics to secure victory. "Don't worry sir, as per your instructions, we will become Protocol C!!!" [Good…] the man on the other end said. [Don't let me down.]

Ttut—

With that, the call ended. And all over the world, many began preparing for Protocol C. However, they weren't the only ones thinking of the upcoming war.

.

Hah-hah… Bahahahahahja~

The world had never seen such a beautiful site, despite it being a grand prison hall. There, in the heavens, Loki chuckled and laughed ecstatically when thinking of what time it was. 'Soon, my long awaited show will begin. So how can I still stay up here, locked up?' Tch—

If not for the mysterious figure that appeared in his cell some time ago, he would have long fled from this place. The figure only said one word, and Loki's entire being trembled Grimm head to toe. He has never been so scared of anything or anyone except for the Almighty. So who was that mysterious being? He could tell that the mysterious being was probably on par or even more powerful than the Almighty. A being stronger than the Almighty? Loki felt it should be impossible. Yet that's the feeling he got. Since when did the heavens have such a figure in their realm? Terrible… Loki didn't know why, but he felt that if that being wanted him to disappear from the heavens, the underworld and even the human realm, it would be done at a snap of its finger. Before, Loki felt it should be impossible to wipe the trace of any Heavenly being, as they would only get reincarnated back with their memories over and over again in the heavenly realm. Of course, their memories of their true identity would one day return, perhaps after the 700th reincarnation or so. Any heavenly being killed, gets reincarnated back into the Heavenly realm.

That's how it has always been. Even when he got a glimpse of the Almighty billions and trillions of ages ago, Loki still felt that even the Almighty himself couldn't erase his trace and his essence. But—

The being he saw gave him the feeling that it could. That's right. He felt that being would not only erase his trace from the heavens, but also from all realms, making him never exist. How scary was that?

For the first time in the longest while, Loki felt true fear. It made his spine coil and his entire body obedient. This was why he sat in place all this time. .

That day would always replay in his mind in a loop.

That mysterious being… His power… How terrifying.

Even thinking about that being gave Loki cold sweats. What was the word that was said to him when he appeared? "—Noisy." That's it. Just one word made his body freeze up. However he felt he had heard the same words said by someone in the mortal world. Who? No matter how he thought of it, he just couldn't place a finger on anyone who also repeated the same words to him… a mortal, for that matter. Loki frowned. 'How strange… my memory should be strong, so why can't I remember?' Well either way Loki was quite excited to go down to the human world to see the new interesting chess piece that caught his eyes. What was the human's name again? – Dorian D. Tian. That human… that very thrilling human, made his blood fire up in a feverish pitch. Before, he was willing and very excited to see his good old pals, Lucifer and the others out their longtime and against the heavens, in motion. What? Do you think the war is about the humans on that planet? Please! They are as insignificant as ants crawling underneath an elephant's trunk. This isn't about them but about the underworld minions finding a chance to teleport and go to the Heavenly Realm for war!!!! And now, with the Almighty on Hiatus, they feel they have a chance. Loki smiled wryly. With that mysterious being here in the heavens, do they really have a chance? If it was before, he would have said… maybe. But now,... Ehhh. That mysterious being spoiled the fun for him. What he, Loki, loves, is unpredictability. If something is so obvious from the start it becomes boring way too fast. Why would he care about the war between the Underworld and the heavens now? He wished he never knew that mysterious being existed at all! Nôv(el)B\\jnn

It ruined everything for him, his fun, his entertainment. Luckily, there was still one more War that made his blood pump. –The war between the underworld and the insignificant ants. Bhahahahajjaha~

Loki laughed merrily. 'For my entertainment to remain sweet, my good old buddies must keep reminding oblivious to the 'insignificant ants' who finally figured it out…'

Loki licked his lips, leaving against the wall and leaving a complete replica of himself behind. 'My dear buddies, why don't I stall your return to that world, a bit more?' Loki conjured a mischievous plan now vanishing from the Heavenly realm, and appearing in a completely different Human world. If he isn't mistaken, if his a s were accurately done, his dear buddies should be returning to the underworld 1 month before the War begins. They'll be returning to end things in the underworld.

But if he made the war in the Underworld end barely 1 day before the human war begins? Swish~

Loki was gone, appearing in a desolate home deep in the wilderness. "Who the hell are you?" A human questioned, no fear evident in his eyes. Human? Hah! Loki chuckled, slowly making himself at home.

"Come now, aren't new friends welcomed anymore?... Tell your master, Mammon, that I have great news for him…As for who I am—"

Loki paused with a broad grin on his face. "You can call me Lucky." Because Luck,… has always been on his side.
