The Mirror Of God
Episode 19: The Bridge of Falsehood
Theo invites Ganyan to meet the troupe, when Ganyan drops all eyes looking at him, but with a look of fear.
"How famous are you in this country?" Ask Theo
"I am very famous, the leader of this country is familiar to me."
"Who's the leader?"
"I know his name is Loki."
"Loki? Brother Thor?"
"I don't know what you're saying, but he's not from Ellada, which I know his past memories aren't lost, he could have killed Hades, but he didn't want to, because in this country he has power and governs as he pleases, therefore in this country all are free, without punishment from Hades.
"Can we meet him?"
"Just call her name, Loki Laufeyson."
"Loki Lafeyson come here." Theo
Loki comes, looks very different to what Theo thought, because Theo thinks that Loki is the same as the Avengers, but his stature is very much different. His body was large and ice blue, he was holding a long stick with a black hat with two horns on his hat.
"What need do I need to call?"
"You're really handsome Loki." Theo
"Don't tease me, I don't like men." Loki
"Hey Loki, are you Thor's brother?" Ask Theo
"Thor's? It seems in Ellada only you know him, he is my adoptive nephew, he is my adopted nephew, Odin."
"So you're Odin's brother?" Ask Theo Again
"Yes, you know him?"
"No no, I just know."
"So that's all you want to ask me?"
"No, I actually need your help."
"What help?"
"Kill Hades." Theo
Loki laughed very hard.
"Hahahaha, I won't kill him." Loki said
"Why?"
"Because if I kill him, I won't be King anymore in this place."
"Your heroes want to be the King of all the worlds in the Yggdrasil branch, right?"
"Forgot my old dream, I'm much better now." Loki said
"You're not getting better, Loki, you're getting weaker." Theo
"You don't know my true strength, I can freeze you in the blink of an eye."
Theo actually felt a piercing cold aura from Loki's speech, the remark was solemn and Theo felt he was on a different level. His power could be comparable to Zeus's.
"Alright, I know you're strong Loki, so I'll help you reach the top of Yggdrasil, do you want to?" Ask Theo
"I don't want to, Odin's power is really terrible, you can be killed just by looking into his eyes. In fact, his power was far above Zeus." Loki said
"You lost your passion after falling into this rotten hell Loki." Theo
"It's heaven for me, I've fallen dozens of times to hell, dozens of times to feel death and in this place is the most beautiful death I've ever felt."
"As far as you are Loki, I just want to realize your pent-up desire." Theo
"By the way, how do you know all about me and my brothers?" Ask Loki
"Let's just say I'm the one who's gonna change your destiny." Theo
"What's your name?" Ask Loki
"I won't tell you before you help me." Theo
Loki fell silent, suddenly he remembered the time of his death, he stole the Valkyrie's glove and he was caught by Odin, then Odin killed him and threw him into the land of nowhere with the glove, when Loki realized he was already in the land of Aname. He knows this place is called Ellada, but Loki is confused because he knows the ruler of this place is Theo, not Zeus. Finally he settled in this place, the messenger of Hades came and planned to torture him, then Loki destroyed all the messengers of Hades. After that, Loki easily reaches Hades and defeats him with his cunning trickery. Loki did not want to become the ruler of the Underworld, all he wanted was to rule a country. Hades granted his request and he became the leader of Aname.
"I don't know who you are, but you seem to know me."
Theo smiled, actually Theo did not know much about Yggdrasil, all the knowledge he could because watching the Avengers Movie. Apparently, that knowledge in Ellada really helped him.
"I know you, even I know how you can be Odin's foster brother."
"Enough! Don't discuss it, I'll help you on your journey, but you have to kill Hades with your own hands, I'm not killing anymore." Loki said
"The cunning god who becomes good, perplexes." Theo
"So, answer my question, what's your name?"
"My name is Theo."
Loki was very surprised, which he knew Theo was very gallant and authoritative. But in front of him was a young man who did not look strong at all. Loki was puzzled by what had happened, but he knew for sure, the young man before him was not lying at all.
"Oh yeah, I'm curious about one thing." Loki said
"What?"
"It's like I know the gloves you use." Said Loki again
"Valkyrie's glove, obviously you know that, because it's from Asgard." Theo
Loki was confused, the glove did not kill him, but when Loki was wearing the glove he was almost killed, because there was a hidden power of the glove, he was killed, which even the gods could not handle. Valkyrie hands the glove over to Odin, as Valkyrie feels she is overpowered by the glove. Loki steals it, but he is unable to also master the glove, but the young man in front of him easily wears the glove.
"What do you know about the gloves?" Ask Loki
"All I know is, he can manipulate space." Theo
Loki knows, Theo does not yet know fully about the gloves he is wearing, not only can he manipulate space, the gloves can manipulate time, teleportation, have a terrible power, he said, taking the soul out of a person's body. The glove was really terrible, Loki himself regretted stealing the glove, it turned out that the glove was worn by a young boy.
"Hey Odin, what are your plans to send me and the gloves here? So this is my destiny Odin?" Ask Loki
Suddenly a voice appeared out of nowhere.
"Learn to be a grown-up Loki." Say that voice
"You're the shrediest brother I've ever had." Loki said
Theo and Ganyan heard that voice.
"So it's Odin?"
Loki nodded. Theo did not expect to hear Odin's voice directly, Theo could not yet guess how formidable Odin was, nor did he know more powerful Odin or Zeus.
"I've got to turn into a human first." Loki said
Loki's body, which was once large and ice blue, changed to look like a human body. Loki is good at magic.
"So, what can you do for Loki?" Ask Theo
"I can help you fool Hades, but remember you killed him, not me." Loki said
"After you help me, what do you want?" Ask Theo
"I just want to live my life in peace, without war." Loki said
Theo did not expect Loki's good nature, he was completely different from what Theo had thought. As Theo knows, Loki is an evil God, the eternal enemy of Asgard. As it turned out, Loki who was in front of him had absolutely no interest in Asgard.
Theo takes Loki and Ganyan to the inn, arriving at the inn all welcome Loki and Ganyan with joy. Loki introduced himself, Hendrick, Kevin, Evan, and Baron accepted with pleasure. Theo tells the story of Loki, Theo says Loki is the leader of Aname Country, but Theo does not tell about the real figure of Loki. So, the only ones who know about Loki are Ganyan and Theo.
Theo suddenly thinks of Chloe, he must quickly catch up with Chloe and kill Hades, Theo is afraid Hades breaks his promise, and there is no reason to believe Hades.
"When are we going to Limni Country?" Ask Theo
"Now can." Said Kevin
"You're Theo's leader, you decide." Said Evan
"Well, we'll leave in a few hours, get the weapons and gear to carry, we'll have to keep traveling so we can get to Hades. That way, we can save the rest of our friends." Theo
After all preparing the equipment, they continued their journey to Limni Country. Limni Country is very far from Aname Country, the trip can take 15 Days of underworld time.
They begin the journey, in the middle of the journey Athena suddenly comes and conveys something to Theo.
"Theo, choose the right, not the left." Says Athena
Then Athena disappeared, Theo confused. What do you mean by the right and the left. But Theo trusts Athena. They continued on, until they finally found a road that branched in two. Theo remembered Athena's message just now, and then Theo decided to go to the right.
"We're going right." Theo
"No! Don't be a fool, if you go there, you'll be wasted in a place without time, you can go back to the past, the future, even to a place that really doesn't exist." Loki said
"Loki, I know you like to cheat, but this time I won't fool you." Theo said
"I told you, I'm no longer evil." Loki said convincingly
"Must Goddess thena come and she says we should choose the right path." Theo
"Athena? Athena what? It's your delusion, this place is full of illusions, I can easily overcome those illusions, but to you the illusions are very real." Loki said
"Don't try to trick me Loki!?" Theo shouted
"So the god Apollo came to me and he said we chose the right path." Said Evan
"You're all stupid, I'm trying to help you, but why don't you trust me! Goddamnit!" Loki
"Buddies, we choose the right path." Theo
Loki fell silent, he could no longer convince Theo. Loki is worried about something being there, Loki could have taken care of the place, but Loki is unsure about the children walking with him.
They went to the right, and Loki followed them until they came at last to a gate, and it was written Limni.
"I told you, to the right." Theo
"No Theo, I suspect." Hendrick
"What do you suspect?" Ask Theo
"When our journey to Limni Country is 15 days and it's only a few hours, why have we reached the gate?" Ask Hendrick
Theo was silent, he then turned his head to the right and to the left. The atmosphere in front of Theo completely changed, Theo did not see his friends, then Theo fell unconscious.
***
Theo woke up confused, he was walking on an empty land, Theo was walking and kept walking, then he saw a little girl was jumping around alone.
"What is your brother?" Ask Theo
"Sister? We're the same age." Said the woman
Theo looked at his hand, Theo was shocked because his body was shrinking. Theo does not remember where he is from, Theo does not remember anything, even Theo does not remember what he is doing, Theo really lost his memory.
"What's your name?" Ask Theo
"My name is Pandora, are you?" Ask Pandora
"I? My name's..." Theo did not remember his name
"We're just two here, can I give you a name?" Ask Pandora
Theo nodded.
"What if your name is Theo." Pandora
"Theo..." Theo was very foreign to hear that name
"Yes, that's a good name, isn't it?" Ask Pandora
"Yes, great." Theo
"Let's play." Pandora
Pandora attracts Theo, Theo feels a pleasure he never felt. In this world there is only himself and Pandora. They were always together, it didn't feel like the time Theo had faced had been many years, they had grown up, just the two of them in the empty land.
"Theo, I'm bored." Pandora
"What if we make a man from the ground?" Ask Theo
"I agree." Pandora
Theo takes the soil and piles it into human form, suddenly man from the ground that Theo made move.
"What are you doing Theo?" Ask Pandora
"I don't know." Theo
"Let's do it again." Pandora
Theo made man again, but the female form. The land moves and lives.
"Well cool." Theo
"Try you to command the land Theo." Pandora
"Hey land, try you guys dancing." Theo
The two lands were dancing and dancing, Theo and Pandora were laughing very loudly, as it was very funny for them to see the two lands moving.
"It's cool." Pandora
"Hey land, try you guys have kids." Theo
Then the two lands make love, Theo and Pandora close their eyes, with the second instant the earth body becomes exactly like a human, they have skin like a human and the land of women has an enlarged belly.
"Why is her stomach growing?" Ask Pandora
"I don't know."
They keep seeing it. Then, the land of the woman gave birth to a baby from her stomach.
"Well, it's magical." Pandora
Theo realizes he has just created a human, then Theo whispers to Pandora.
"Pandora, how about we order them all to be our men, and then we sit in the sky." Theo
"So we make a lot of people?" Ask Pandora
Theo nodded.
"I agree." Pandora said again
Theo and Pandora started to create many humans with the ground, they made very many humans, after which Theo headed for the sky to make his stopover, after many humans were walking on the ground, Theo and Pandora sat on his throne.
"What do we call this?" Ask Pandora
"Paradetius." Theo
"Look at them, they're dancing." Pandora
For days Theo stared at the humans, but they always died without knowing why, their bodies shrunk and they died.
"Why did they die?" Theo is confused
"They must eat something so that the body does not shrink." Pandora
"Then I will create plants and animals." Theo
Theo went down and created many plants and animals, Theo taught the humans to hunt animals and grow crops, after which Theo returned to Paradeisos.
"They work." Theo
"If there's more of them, can you handle them?"
Theo fell silent, he did not know what answer he had to answer. As Theo knows, they are Theo's creation and Theo hopes they can become Theo's men, it's Theo's ultimate goal.
