Chapter 1180: The eyes in the dark (2)
Most curses had to be tethered onto something, whether that something be tangible or intangible.
Of course, for a being like the Creator who stand on the highest peak of power that touch upon the Source of Everything, he could simply create a curse out of nowhere and did not tether it to anything
But from what Odin knows of the Creator, he would not disturb the balance of order of the Omniverse.
This is because from what Odin knows of the lore about the Creator and the Destroyer, it was that before the Creator had a personality, had an avatar, had feelings, in the beginning he was like those winged creatures that the Supreme One had created in the past.
They were more like an independent artificial intelligence but with clear directive.
One of that is not to disturb the natural order.
And even though the Creator got a personality and an avatar in each incarnation of itself, and the Creator could theoretically break this system directive, out of respect and love for the Supreme One, he would not do it.
He probably complies with the existing Laws of the Omniverse and tethered the curse onto something.
That is the only few things he knows about Orvanians. It does makes him feel suspicious that the Orvanians are making a move now.
If he remembers it right, this race sit on their hands the last time this happen.
Odin would not believe it if Orvanians highest order of power says that there is not someone among their midst that knows what happens in the deleted timeline.
Of course, when Odin thought of Orvanians highest order he was thinking of the Five Seats of Orvan, the mysterious five elders that makes the rules in the star system of Orvan.
They know how this story end. Then why make a move? Is it a gamble like he did? Or is there a plan that the Orvanians had been planning since the last timeline?
Odin did not know that the Orvan had contacted the United Intergalactic Alliance and submit the Seresian planet under the supervision of the United Intergalactic Alliance.
This is an act of Orvan that shows that they are about to come out of their closed border policy.
As Asgard had been closing itself of, only some of the core members of the United Intergalactic Alliance was informed of the matter.
Thor was stationed on the border planet, fearing a Jotunheim invasion when Odin was away. Baldur on the other hand is in the palace.
Odin has other sons but Thor is the Crown Prince. He was hesitating between Thor and Vidar but knowing Tor fate in Ragnarok, Odin has a soft spot for this child of his.
With all of this, Odin did not know the development of matters in the United Intergalactic Alliance.
The matter itself does not seem that big since it is just a matter of one planet. Odin then stop trying to see Azief in the Seresian world.
Orvan technology, both mystical and technological has always been a wonder. Of course, if Odin pushes it, he could break the disturbance that he encounters when he tries to peek on Azief.
But he is quite sure that the Orvan could pinpoint his location accurately. Divine Sense has fluctuations. And Orvanians is very good at detecting fluctuations.
And he is quite sure that he is already noticed when his Divine Sense sweeps the planet. But, they probably could not see where he is located at.
‘Orvanians. Hmm’ Odin thought for a moment. He did not do anything and he did not move before. He fears that he would move before it is time.
Odin calculated in his mind.
‘It is not time. I have been patient for a few thousand years. I could be patient for a few more years’ he then averts his gaze. Then he sat down on the tree and once again look at the stars in the distance
At the same time Odin senses such fluctuation in the calculation of fate and destiny, there are others in the Omniverse that also senses it
Some sense it acutely. Some sense it subtly. Some felt a change but did not associate it with a fate and destiny changing ripples
But somewhere, there is five powerful beings that could sense it very acutely and also knows what it means and what it signifies
In a dark room, five powerful beings are sitting on a throne made of azurite-like minerals. The throne is floating in the air.
When they sense the ripples, they all opened their eyes at the same time. They all frowned at the same time.
And then they narrowed their eyes. Their actions are the same.
On their heads is a round helmet that is emanating powerful mental waves. All of their heads are bald.
They look humanlike if not for the triangle shaped mark on their forehead.
They were silent. Most of the time, they rarely spoke.
But this time their silence is filled with tension. One of them look at the other and he said.
‘I predicted this. But still……it is surprising’ The word did not come out from their mouth. It is like a disembodied voice echoing inside the room
Another one spoke
‘The Time God had gambled well’
Another spoke
‘Should we interfere?’
Another spoke
‘There is a chance’
Then another one spoke
‘It is too dangerous.’
There is silence once again in the dark room. But then one of them spoke again using their mind waves
‘It would be worth it’
The word echoes inside the room.
But nobody says anything again. For a moment there is silence.
The five beings seem to feel the vibration, the fluctuation in fate and destiny and their mental wave power seems to also fluctuate with it
Then one of them said
‘We will wait and watch. After all, we now have a connection with him. Karma…has been formed. There is cause and effect between him and us’
These five beings that seems to have a disembodied voice is none other than the five shadowy figure of the Five Seats of Orvan.
They are also called the Old Ones.
Their eyes are blue with a hint of a green. Their mental power is very powerful that they could even make and unmake matters using just their minds
It seems they have predicted many things and they have been making moves. Orvanians are one of the most advanced race in the entire Omniverse.
But other than top tier civilization in the Omniverse, not many knows of them as they rarely show themselves and they are not an invasive species
They also did not come out for peace or war, and is content to maintain the operation and stability of the Multiverse.
It seems that even the Five Seats of Orvan had been paying attention to Azief fate and destiny since the beginning.
Then one of them squinted.
‘Odin is watching’ he said. One of them frowned
‘He is…. betting?’
‘Probably’ Another said
Then one of them said
‘It is bold’
‘Reckless’ another said
‘Opportunistic’ One of the other shakes his head and said
‘Wise’
They all seems to feel differently about Odin decision. It did not take them long to calculate the reason why Odin wake up from his slumber.
A chance before the twilight of the Gods.
‘Location?’ one of the Five seats spoke
‘unidentified’ another said
‘We have no enmity with Asgard’
‘There is no need to fight. We probably share the same goals’
