Chapter 168 - Two Worlds Connected?
\'\'Are there other gods who also have their own buildings?\'\' Isaac asked a question, which he really wanted to be answered.
\'\'Not that many,\'\' Loki said and jumped off the chair. He grabbed the axe, which was lying on the floor, and his face became serious as he shouted, \'\'I am Thor, God of Thunder and Stupidity, I am gonna beat you up, brother!\'\' After those words, he threw the axe towards the nearby wall.
Once the axe and wall collided, something unexpected happened.
The axe\'s blade cracked, and only the handle was left as the pieces of broken blade littered the ground.
Isaac raised an eyebrow, \'\'Thor?\'\'
\'\'Heh.\'\' Loki puffed his chest, \'\'How was my imitation of him?\'\'
\'\'Uhh...\'\' Isaac\'s eyebrow twitched after seeing Loki\'s playful antics. \'\'I don\'t know... Never met him.\'\'
Loki nodded, \'\'Lucky you, I wish I never met him too, he is always so bossy.\'\' He clicked his tongue after remembering his brother.
\'\'Right...\'\' Isaac rubbed his forehead and glanced at the chat. He saw everyone asking about what was happening.
\'\'Well... This was fun, but I need to go.\'\' He said and stood up from the chair.
\'\'Right.\'\' Loki nodded and shuffled the cards in his hand before continuing, \'\'I wonder who would be the victor if we played a game?\'\'
\'\'Not sure...\'\' Isaac replied with a wry smile, \'I don\'t even want to find out.\'
\'\'Anyway, come visit if you are bored!\'\' Loki shouted, but then he remembered something, \'\'Ah right! You deserve a reward.\'\' He once again went to the desk before sitting down on his seat with a professional look.
\'\'Reward?\'\' Isaac was curious about what he will be getting.
Loki raised one finger, \'\'One question. You can ask me anything, and I will have to answer truthfully.\'\'
\'\'Didn\'t I already ask you a question?\'\' Isaac asked.
\'\'That was for free, and this was also for free.\'\' Loki smugly smiled; if he was slightly more shameless, he would count that as the question, \'\'I am so kind towards you, aren\'t I?\'\'
\'\'I guess...\'\' Isaac resisted rolling his eyes and started pondering what kind of question he should be asking.
Loki stuffed the cards inside the desk and leaned on the chair with a few yawns escaping his mouth.
Isaac sat back down on the chair and locked his hands together, with multiple questions on his mind, but he wanted to know something that is not public knowledge and something that he couldn\'t find with some research.
But then, a question appeared on his mind that made all other questions disappear.
It was a question that had been haunting him for a few days now, a question that he wanted the answer desperately.
\'If I ask the question... Would it be a waste...\' Isaac lowered his head and kept shaking his head, thinking that it was a stupid question, but he wanted the answer!
\'Doesn\'t matter is it a waste... I need the answer!\' His hands looked restless as he wanted the answer to this specific question!
Loki rubbed his sleepy eyes and turned to look at Isaac, who was looking straight at him.
\'\'What?\'\' He shook off his sleepiness and asked.
\'\'I have my question ready,\'\' Isaac said with a confident expression.
\'\'Go ahead.\'\' Loki said and waved his hand, \'\'I will answer it.\'\'
\'\'Is World of White and World of Four Seasons connected?\'\' After the words left his mouth, a silence ensued.
Loki\'s sleepy face disappeared, and a more severe look appeared, \'\'What kind of silly question is this? Your imagination is indeed wild.\'\' He once again leaned on the chair. Similarly, a few yawns escaped his mouth.
Isaac narrowed his eyes, \'\'So... You know what World of Four Seasons is?\'\'
Loki looked startled, before coughing, \'\'Ahem... I have been programmed to know everything— I am God after all.\'\' He averted his gaze with sweatdrops about to start trickling down his face.
\'\'I thought you were supposed to give a trustworthy answer?\'\' Isaac gritted his teeth.
\'\'Alright.\'\' Loki said and chuckled, \'\'They aren\'t connected— that would be crazy!\'\'
Isaac narrowed his eyes, \'\'Is that the... Truth?\'\'
\'\'Of course.\'\' Loki waved his hand and innocently tried to change the topic, \'\'Alright, that was your reward— when you leave, can you tell everyone to get out of my building?\'\'
Isaac grabbed the armrest tightly before standing up and slowly starting to walk towards the door, but before reaching it.
He stopped.
Loki was using his napkin to wipe his sweat and became pale after seeing Isaac stopping.
Isaac turned his body halfway and asked, \'\'You know you are programmed?\'\'
Loki chuckled and nodded, \'\'Yes, Arthur programmed me and everyone else.\'\'
\'\'Arthur...\'\' Isaac murmured and frowned, \'\'Arthur programmed you guys to know that he is the one who did that? Sounds suspicious.\'\'
\'\'Ah...\'\' Loki raised his finger, but no words came out.
Cold sweat poured down his back as he felt foolish.
Isaac turned his head to look at the door, which caused Loki to heave a sigh of relief.
But soon, Isaac had a smirk, and he went into a praying posture.
\'\'U-Uhh, what are you doing?\'\' Loki gulped and grabbed a white-colored card from the desk.
\'\'I heard that Gods will be listening to the prayers, I might as well give it a try.\'\' Isaac turned his head to look at the ceiling, \'\'Oh, God of Thunder. Your brother is being mischievous again. Can you come here to spank him?\'\'
\'\'No!\'\' Loki screamed and threw the card towards Isaac with such speed that it caused a sonic boom.
Out of nowhere, an earthquake appeared around Stronglord, causing havoc and destruction everywhere.
*BAM!*
While the card was flying and it seemed to hit Isaac without any problems.
Loki\'s eyes widened as a spark of lightning appeared around Isaac.
Isaac was seen blinking slowly, and it looked to be in slow motion.
The spark of lightning engulfed the card and turned it into ashes.
The ashes were scattered around the floor, with the speed of the world returning to the same.
Isaac blinked normally and felt the floor around him shaking for a few seconds before stopping.
\'\'Ah, Isaac!\'\' Loki screamed and put his hands on his waist, \'\'What a mess you made!\'\'
Isaac turned his head and saw a pile of ashes on the floor, \'\'Uhh...\'\'
*RUMBLE!*
In the sky above Stronglord, thunder was rumbling.
\'\'Fineee!\'\' Loki screamed towards the rumble and stomped the ground like he was throwing a tantrum, \'\'About your question... You will get your answer from your father. He won\'t lie to you.\'\'
\'\'My.... Father?\'\' Isaac\'s eyes widened, and then, the door behind him opened, and Loki flicked his sleeve, which sent Isaac flying out of the door, landing in front of the shocked Players.
