..And after several minutes Shu reaches the foot of the Heart Mountains and sits on one of the rocks where in front of him there is water and trees, then he laughs a light laugh while drinking the last potion in the starry bag and says:
"This rock, this water, only the golden tears are missing from me. In the spiritual world the same thing happened almost. Everything is trapped in a cycle. Every entity, no matter what, inside the cycle of life and death, it is impossible to escape from it completely, just like that absurd cycle of repetition."
.Then Shu thinks in complete silence, waiting for Hian's arrival, and while he thinks and looks at the water that reflects everything, he remembers when he was crying when he thought that his mother no longer cared about his existence. He remembers all those events that passed through him in the absurd spirit world, then says:
"I feel that my end and my journey in this world are about to run out. I feel that I will wake up soon and pierce another layer of transcendent reality and the mysterious dream that has no end in its existential layers."
.Suddenly the Fool interrupts Shu and says:
"Hey buddy, excuse me for my silence all that time. I just like to give you your personal space. In the end, everyone needs to feel that he is alone in his thoughts while in reality he is not completely alone."
.Shui laughs a little and says:
"No problem, in the end you and I are one. Do not say such words again, and on that point I agree with you. In the end the all-knowing knows my thoughts before they come, haha."
"[In the end, my belief in absurdity does not mean that I see there is no God.]"
.Shu looks toward his golden eye that has strange marks and thinks inside himself saying:
"[Golden mist, I feel that you do not want to communicate with me, so what makes you do that?]"
.And while Shu looks at his reflection in the water, suddenly a rock falls from the top of the mountain beside him, which makes him tense and look upward and fly so he can see what is happening.
.Shu feels angry and climbs up and says:
"What is happening here? The stone was about to fall on my head."
.Shu is surprised to see a huge bird with extremely white and pure feathers, very tired, as a entity wearing a classic black cloak attacks it and knocks it to the ground and stops the flow of time in the bird, which makes it stop completely and cuts its neck, which makes Shu astonished.
.Suddenly the entity looks toward Shu, which makes Shu surprised and say:
"Loki? But where is the time stone?"
.Shu notices the absence of the time stone and that it is not with Loki, and suddenly Loki laughs a light laugh and approaches with steady steps while having obtained the white feather and seems happy, then says:
"Everything is approaching its end, Shu. I have everything: the soul stone and the time stone, and I am also about to break through the first sequence soon. Do you really think that you are able to stop me?"
.Shu does not activate his powers because he notices the absence of any threatening intention, then he speaks while he is flying in the sky:
"Loki, please listen, I want peace. True death is coming with an extremely terrifying army, 200 quadrillion shadow soldiers, and every soldier has the power of first sequence entities. Do you think that you are able to stop it?"
.Loki smiles maliciously then opens a portal beside him and says:
"I possess the soul stone. Do you think that I did not know about his plan?"
.Loki extends his hand into the portal to obtain the soul stone, only to notice that it is not there, which makes him extremely shocked.
.And suddenly Loki speaks saying:
"Give me only a minute."
.Then Loki jumps into the portal and Shu quickly runs to enter after him, and then Shu sees Loki in a state of shock where the time stone, the soul stone,all books and Thor himself have disappeared, and Flindra has also disappeared, so he falls to his knees in silence while looking toward the ground.
.Shu approaches Loki a little, while Loki is completely silent, then Shu speaks saying:
"This is what I wanted to warn you about."
.Loki holds the sand that fell from the hourglass in his hand and presses it with regret and says in a low voice:
"I planned everything, from the smallest thing to the biggest. This place was completely unknown, and I had complete control over this world. I never expected betrayal to come from within it, and not only that, betrayal came from my sister Flindra, who served me with all love."
"I lost everything, even Thor, and all that I possessed, all that I planned, and all that took so long to plan, I lost it in the blink of an eye."
.Shu approaches Loki and places his hand on his palm, so Loki removes Shu's hand and pushes it away from him, then stands while his eyes are red and looks toward Shu and says with regret:
"Why are you interested in these matters? I am your enemy. I tried to kill you. I made you a soldier in the plan. I made you a cheap chess piece inside a circle. Why do you care about me?"
.Shu tries to calm Loki while stepping backward, and suddenly Loki brings out white threads from the world of time or clocks, and those threads seize Shu with an impossible force to tear them apart.
.Then Loki, who has gone mad, speaks and says:
"Enough of this. I am tired of you. I will kill you."
.Loki creates a spear with his power and approaches Shu to stab him with it, which makes Shu in an extreme state of shock and sadness.
"[So again, again, again, everything happens again. What Loki does is what true death did in the spiritual world. Everything repeats, but there is something different this time. I have the power to resist.]"
.Suddenly golden mist descends over Shu, turning him into the Fool, who punches Loki in the face and says loudly:
"Wake up, enough of this. No time for sadness, no time for such things. The enemy grows stronger while we are here fighting. Enough."
.Loki does nothing while the Fool grabs him by his clothes and shakes him, saying:
"It is over. I want you with me in the confrontation. I want you to wake up. I want you to forget what has passed. It cannot be changed. Enough."
.Loki stops doing anything while his eyes are on the ground, and Shu cancels the Fool. While Loki stands in silence, the Fool inside Shu speaks and says:
"What is this fool trying to do again? He thinks himself stronger than me, haha."
.Shu smiles slightly while Loki does not focus, thinking in silence and looking at the ground, then Shu speaks while placing his hand on Loki's shoulder:
"Enough of this, buddy. You are a kind person. Please stop this."
.Then suddenly Shu hugs Loki, which surprises Loki greatly, and he takes out the Ouroboros dagger without Shu noticing in order to stab him, then hesitates suddenly and says to himself:
"[Why am I trying to be that bad? I mean, why now? He has every right in everything he says. It all seems logical. I should be good this time so I can save my brother and carry out my plan. If I cooperate with him, I will achieve what I want faster.]"
.Loki looks toward Shu and the two exchange conversation.
.And on the other side, specifically at 12:58 PM, Hian arrives at the foot of the Heart Mountains and stands whispering:
"It seems that Shu has not arrived yet. No problem, I will wait for him a little."
.Suddenly a person wearing a classic black cloak appears and beside him Shu, causing Hian to feel a tremendous aura emanating from the one in the cloak.
.Suddenly Loki approaches and greets Hian, saying:
"Hian Vandam, pleased to meet you. I am Loki."
.Hian is surprised that Loki knows his name and his father's name, then Loki stands beside Shu and looks toward Hian and smiles saying:
"So how is your mother Fiona? Is your father still in a relationship with her or did they separate? Oh, I remembered, they separated last autumn, right?"
.Hian is surprised and cannot respond and looks toward Shu, and strange expressions appear on his face, and he whispers in Shu's ear saying:
"How does this person know all that information about me even though I was making it completely secret?"
.Shu whispers in Hian's ear while both look toward Loki, who is examining all the stones and says:
"Even I do not know how, but this person is extremely manipulative, terrifyingly so. He surpasses me by far in manipulation and rapid planning ability."
.Everyone remains silent for moments, then Shu opens a portal and says loudly:
"Okay, now let us go. We will head to Vindora Temple so we can begin laying out a plan to stand before true death."
.Loki smiles and feels excited, and Hian manipulates his red flowers with joy and feels excited too, then everyone enters the portal,Moving to Vindora Temple.
