Loki's eyes widened at the item he had just received.
'Is she being serious right now?!'
'How does she have this!?'
'How did the Goddess of fortune even know about paper cranes and Will Auceptin?'
'Isn't that an original LOTM reference!?'
'Or do all Fate pathway Beyonders eventually make paper cranes?'
Loki calmed his freaking out mind by simply reminding himself that Rowena was still present before him, and so he looked at her blandly and responded calmly as if the items she had provided were nothing too important.
"Mr. Error will discuss the rest of the payment with you shortly. Thank you for your cooperation, I'm sure Mr. Error will be pleased."
Rowena frowned but said nothing to Loki, knowing that Loki after all was just a follower of Mr. Error and not someone who knew the true value of the things she had given him. She was sure Mr. Error would be thoroughly surprised at the opportunity she had provided him with.
With that settled, Rowena ended the ritual by blowing out the candle with her simultaneous disappearance.
Loki collapsed onto a comfortable chair as he looked at the items in his hands.
"That was fruitful…"
"The Fool pathway Card of Blasphemy to complete the set…"
"The Moon pathway Uniqueness…"
"And a way to contact the Goddess of Fortune…"
"Should I sleep and talk to her right now or save it for a rainy day?"
"How do I even know if it'll work only once or until the paper is destroyed…"
"Well I better not waste it, how many ever times it can be used…"
Loki's gaze stilled before it slipped to the final crystal in the room.
"Now all that's left is Godric… I free him and all the founders would've been freed."
"The question is should I free him?"
"I'm sure if I steal the Gryffindor sword right now, Dumbledore will have some way of figuring out that I took it… so I better leave it for when I'm absolutely sure that I either need to awaken him immediately or when I am confident I'll leave no traces behind of my theft…"
With that Loki finally closed his eyes for some time.
It was early in the morning and so there wasn't enough time to properly rest, but Loki was already a Sequence 2 angel so it didn't matter much.
With a giddy expression that was completely out of place with the rest of the castle that was worried for its and Harry's safety, Loki rushed as soon as he woke up towards the dungeons.
Wherever Loki turned to look, all he saw was people crossing their fingers in prayers to whatever great gods they knew, be it merlin or morgana or even Harry Potter himself to keep them safe from the upcoming harm that Voldemort was probably going to rain on them.
Loki half had the urge to laugh and make fun of the people since he knew there was no harm from Voldemort, in fact Loki wanted to go so far as painting a picture of Voldemort in the Great Hall just to terrorise the people of the castle, but he resisted.
After all, not everyone shared his sense of humor, especially the teachers.
"Elane!!!" Loki shouted as soon as he reached outside Snape's office. Calling for his little sister like there was no tomorrow.
And even before Snape could respond, the potion master's office door opened as a small little girl that barely reached Loki's waist appeared through it.
"Loki!!!!!" The little girl squealed in joy before latching onto his thigh like a baby koala.
"I'm back!" Loki said happily to the little girl, giving an open show to the rest of the people passing by Snape's office. However Loki wasn't worried about exposing Elane to other people now. After all, what could they, if anyone, do to a former True God that still held her authority even if only partially?
"Tell me, has the bat man been treating you well or has he scared you senseless?" Loki asked, looking at the approaching Professor who was already dressed in his bat-like robes.
Elane pretended to ponder for a while which caused Snape's brows to twitch before she spoke softly, "No… Elane doesn't have any complaints apart from the fact that Uncle Snape does not let me eat sweets!"
"Huh!? Why no sweets haha~!?" Loki looked at Snape with raised eye brows and an amused expression, after all Elane was a True God if only in name, she would still not get tooth aches since no germs strong enough existed which could harm her physical form.
In fact Elane's plump figure at the start of Loki's 'transmigration' should've been the biggest clue as to something being wrong with Elane. After all there was no way, no matter how much the Loki before the current Loki arrived, shared with Elane, was she was going to get fat in that dump of a place they were living in. So her apparent chubbiness should've instantly put Loki on edge.
'I guess I didn't think of it before because my mind tried to avoid the fact subconsciously?'
Snape opened the office door and let Loki come inside with Elane where the two of them immediately broke into a hurry to consume a bunch of snacks that Snape had placed on the table beforehand.
Elane because it had been a long time since she had had snacks properly and Loki because he was still joyous for the fact that he had resurrected.
"Elane… Big brother has a gift for you!" Loki said softly while pulling out the Moon Card of Blasphemy right in front of Snape.
Snape's eyes widened looking at the card of Blasphemy but he made no moves to take it from Loki's hands, a true testament to his self control.
Only the second Elane grabbed it and opened it by pouring in her spirituality, she inadvertently revealed the Crimson ball, the moon that was the Uniqueness of the Moon pathway!
It nearly caused Snape to step forward and grab the card but Loki simply glared at him and caused him to stand down.
Even still, after the first glare, Snape calmed down a lot, the effect of the uniqueness diminishing on him after Elane grasped it with her still chubby hands.
"Big brother is the besttttt!!!!!!" Elane squealed, causing Loki to giddily laugh in joy before squeezing Elane's cheeks and giving her a smooch on her head.
Elane left accommodating the Uniqueness for later when she could rest properly in a safe spot but Loki interrupted her, "I know a place where you can accommodate the Uniqueness safely on your own. Do you want to go there? We can explore the castle on the way… that way you don't have to remain hidden in his teeth all day!"
Elane gave a slightly pity filled look at Snape's shadow from where a whine emerged before shouting out, "Don' t worry fenrir! This big girl will be back later to play with you once again!"
"WOOOF!"
"Good boy!!!"
Loki laughed at the apparent exchange before Elane turned to him and looked at him seriously and nodded, "Elane would like to accommodate the uniqueness sooner than later."
With that set, the brother and sister pair got up from their seats and walked out of Snape's office room, leaving the man behind as they began their journey towards the Room of Requirements.
Loki allowed Elane to meet with Norberta on the way up and they also met Hermione, Astoria and Daphne.
Hermione, Astoria and Elane all looked at each other competitively for some reason before Daphne stepped in and started stuffing Elane's mouth full with a bout of cheese cake, making Elane seem rather stuffy and chubbier than she already looked as she somehow gulped down everything with a side of pumpkin juice.
They explored the castle meeting various teachers including McGonagall who seemed rather awestruck by Loki's little copy before making sure to allow Elane to touch her cat form and then aweing her with a remarkable rat catch that caused Elane to squeal in joy.
Of course, no one knew apart from Snape that Elane was the True God of the Moon pathway but they all treated Elane with equal respect until Loki and Elane finally reached the room of requirements.
"Ready to accommodate your uniqueness little sis?"
"Yes!" Elane nodded fervently but then she paused and looked at Loki with a soft forlorn expression, "It will take me time to do so, promise you will keep visiting Elane in her dreams."
"I promise!" Loki nodded, stretching out his pinky for Elane to grab.
The two siblings shook on the promise before Elane entered the Room of Requirements by herself, leaving Loki behind as she began the long process of accommodating her Uniqueness.
Loki looked at her and felt rather proud.
'Look how fast she's grown up… only yesterday she was talking to me so cutely while sitting on my lap…'
Loki adjusted his monocle before opening his pocket watch to look at the time.
"Hmm… not enough time to go to the Ministry and be back…"
"Wait… I can just use an avatar to go to school instead of myself!"
Loki snapped his finger to create an avatar which was only at Sequence 5 itself and asked it to attend classes instead of him.
And instead of going to school, Loki shifted his focus to the ministry.
Loki repeated Laura's spirit messenger ritual inside his mind.
"The spirit that wanders about the unfounded,"
"The higher-dimensional creature that a human orders,"
"The messenger that belongs to Laura Drake."
Only this time instead of letting anything be summoned out of the spirit world, Loki decrypted Laura's position by seeing where the target of the ritual was in the spirit world.
"There." Loki said once he spotted Laura through the ritual.
And within the blink of an eye, Loki was there in front of Laura, in her office causing her to throw all caution to the wind and nearly attack him immediately!
Loki stole Laura's thoughts of attacking him almost immediately, causing her to freeze in place.
A few alarms went off in her head but Loki quickly raised his hands by then!
"I come in peace Madam Laura! Peace!"
Laura only now realising who it was that had appeared in front of her calmed down and smiled joyously.
"It's you! A rude way to enter a woman's room don't you think so?"
Loki laughed appropriately before bringing up the topic for his sudden appearance.
"Madam Laura, I'm here to collect my reward…."
"Your reward?" Laura repeated softly as if recollecting some distant memory so Loki helped her, "You promised me to let me see the Department of Mysteries Time Turners Collection if I helped your husband leave the Abyss."
Laura's eyes widened before she nodded, "Yes, I remember… the wall of time… but… are you sure?"
"Are you sure?" Loki repeated the question, puzzled about its meaning so Laura explained this time.
"Minister Fudge has recently become a high value target… he was supposed to die and he somehow lived… after which he suddenly went missing, just like that, vanished directly from his room… so are you sure you want to open the door to the wall of time at a time like this?"
Loki frowned.
Were his actions motivated by any external factors?
Well while it was true that he was here to complete his Sequence 1 Advancement Ritual, that was only an internal reason and had nothing to do with anyone else.
So Loki nodded firmly.
"I'm sure it has nothing to do with him in any way…. and why are you even afraid of a Sequence 4 that got to his seat only because the White Lord helped him?"
Laura studied Loki's smug grin and chose not to comment on his question, instead she simply said, "Alright then, if it is as you say… follow me."
Loki followed her quietly.
Since they were already inside the Department of Mysteries they didn't have to enter a special department. Instead Laura quietly navigated the silent corridors of the Department of Mysteries until they arrived at a rather silent and ominous looking door.
It was a door that Loki recognised, at least partially.
"Is that mind bending place beyond this?"
Laura nodded.
Then she spoke, "You just need to step beyond this and keep going straight. You'll eventually reach the place we so fondly call the Wall of Time."
"Wall of time… huh… I suppose I'll know why it is called that once I reach there?"
Laura simply nodded.
Loki accepted the challenge after that and pushed open the door slightly and slipped inside.
Curiously the door had no weight to it.
It was as if it didn't exist at all and was only there as a showpiece.
Crossing over to the other side had Loki feeling tense as he clamped up since he didn't like the feeling of having to choose between his memories and the feeling of time.
However, surprisingly, this time the choice didn't come.
Loki waited patiently wondering if there was only a short delay this time but no, no matter how long he waited the choice didn't come.
'...is it to do with the fact that I'm a Sequence 2 Angel now?'
'Or does it have something to do with the Primordial Chaos that's in the Sefirah Castle?'
'It has got to have something to do with me since otherwise Laura would've warned me about it. Told me that I shouldn't expect any defences….'
'And the Ministry would've been a lot more chaotic if the Department of Mysteries Defences went down all of a sudden…'
'So it has something to do specially with me?'
'Why?'
Not finding any answers standing around and waiting, Loki decided to continue walking forward. After all, the only way he could get any more answers was by exploring further.
So explore Loki did.
He watched the gears on the walls ticking by with their spirit threads quietly.
He watched the other people in the same line guarding the various doors having lost their minds partially.
He watched the Dolls that were tied up at the ceilings decide the highest danger level was him once again as they all gravitated towards him until he covered himself with more of the Grey fog.
Loki kept walking however and eventually he reached a grand wall.
"...I can't believe this thing was always so close by…"
"If I'd have known that I just had to keep walking straight… I'd have been here long ago…"
In front of Loki was a grand wall filled with time turners.
Each time turner constantly flicked between time, swirling in seconds as they ticked and measured time in minutes all at once to keep the Department of Mysteries safe.
"Who made all these time turners using the Worms of Time I wonder…" Loki asked himself rhetorically since he still remembered the divination he had performed to find out the creator of the Time Turner or even understand how it was made.
The result at the time had been simple.
The maker of the Time Turners was Mr. Error or someone Loki had mistaken as Mr. Error, Loki still remembered that the Time Turners were made by Gehrman Sparrow using the worms of time blessed by someone sitting in the Mr. Error seat in the Sefirah Castle.
But after the fourth epoch there was only one possible Mr. Error that could've been in the Sefirah Castle since the original Loki, the one who had defeated Mother Goddess of Depravity was still recovering from the corruption of the Primordial Chaos.
The remnant will of the previous Mr. Error.
Loki noticed the spirit threads from all over the place tie back to each individual time turner in the place.
"No wonder I couldn't steal them or even manipulate them before… these things aren't just spirit threads connected to time turners… these are spririt threads connected to the worms of time used to create the dust in the Time turners…"
"These are the final remnant will of the previous Mr. Error that I killed."
"He would've forseen his death and made a plan to circumvent it by creating several time turners so that anyone that used it would become a conduit for him to resurrect in."
"Unfortunately for him, my past self gathered all his time turners and turned them into a grand defence system for his resting ground while he regained strength from absorbing the corruption of the Primordial Chaos after the war of the fourth Epoch…"
Loki easily decrypted this since the only person capable of finding all the Time Turners at once was his past self when he was awake for the final time in the Fourth Epoch, when he gave Nicholas the Runic Spell Casting Method!
"How do I go past all this then…" Loki pondered for a few seconds before his eyes sparked with a hint of mischief.
With a simple swish of his hand Loki stole the Primordial Chaos baby from the Sefirah Castle and brought it before himself.
And the theft worked like magic!
The time Turners that were constantly turning around in their places, measuring time and constantly keeping track of threats to the door in the present by travelling to the future, all stopped immediately.
Loki looked at the baby in his hands and smiled.
"You work even when you're asleep. Good job."
With that said, Loki hid the baby in a blanket of the grey fog and came close to the door and picked up a single time turner.
"Ah… I can feel it…" Loki mumbled.
He dearly wished to crush all the time turners embedded into the door and break them open to consume the Beyonder Characteristics in the form of dust of Worm of time in them, but he held back.
One because he hadn't told Laura that he would be doing so, but more importantly than all, the fact that he might possibly need the Time Turners to finish his Sequence 1 Worm of Time Advancement ritual held him back.
And so Loki quietly pushed the door open.
The door swung similarly to before, soundlessly and without weight, as if it never existed only this time what lay on the other side, shocked and surprised Loki to his core.
'Is that the Door and the Fool pathway Uniqueness!?'
Loki entered the door with awe in his eyes and mouth partially open.
However he could not express his surprise and confusion at the moment because there was someone else present to ruin it for him!
"What are you doing…" Loki didn't get the chance to finish his question since Minister Fudge spoke over him.
"So…? What do you decide?"
Loki barely had a fraction of a second to decrypt the scenario in front of him as he rushed his mind at speeds he never before had thought possible.
'What's Fudge doing here?'
'Talking to a lamp?'
'Lamp!? Magic Wishing Lamp!? Son of Chaos!?'
'But why is Fudge here!?'
That was when Loki saw an uncertain mist evaporate from Fudge's clothes, he was in a hurry and he was losing control over his Mythical Creature form.
'Uncertain Mist!?'
'Is Fudge here to convince the Son of Chaos to give up and merge with the Uncertain Mist in the cosmos!?'
Loki's heart beat sped up.
Had he just stumbled upon the deal of a lifetime!?
If things went right now, he could surely advance by leaps and bounds all at once!
'How does Fudge intend to merge the Uncertain Mist and the Son of Chaos!?'
'Is it through a vortex weaving ritual!?'
After reaching that point in his decryption Loki instantly stole Minister Fudge's thoughts to delay the next action from occurring.
Loki instantly parasitised Minister Fudge without regret, turning him into an Avatar immediately.
However since this was a Sequence 5 Dream Stealer Avatar, Loki's new avatar successfully deceived the Uncertain Mist into thinking that it still retained control over Fudge through its boon over him just like Loki's other Sequence 5 Avatar Voldemort had deceived its owner Mother Tree of Desire!!
Loki then finally looked at Son of Chaos who was still inside his lamp and spoke calmly.
"You did not accept his offer because there was a risk in which personality of yours, your current personality or your outer god Uncertain Mist personality, would emerge victorious if you both merged, am I wrong? You wished to be the dominant personality with a hundred percent surety, am I wrong? Son of Chaos?"
The Lamp trembled at the mention of its real name.
Loki, still holding the Primordial Chaos baby hidden by the Grey Fog, showed it to the lamp.
"Look! Your father! He's here! Won't you say hello to him!?" Loki prompted kindly only for the lamp to shiver further.
"Alright, alright, I'll stop joking, come out and accept the ritual, I can give you at least a seventy five percent guarantee that you'll be the dominant personality once you merge with your outer self."
There was a short silence before the genie eventually snuggled out of its lamp, although a cautious look remained on his face he was also eager to know if the bait Loki had thrown at him was true or false.
He looked at Loki and Loki provided him with the proof.
"I shall involve in the ritual, two unattainable anchors for you as you currently are."
"Which two anchors?" The genie asked softly.
"Rowena Ravenclaw, a Great Old One and a pillar using the Knowledge of Moor Sefirot."
The genie trembled.
"And the second anchor?" The genie asked with undivided attention since if the first anchor for itself was going to be a pillar of the universe, the Uncertain Mist personality which was a remnant authority after it lost its sefirot to the Original Creator Awakening, might lose in a fight against him about twenty five percent of the time, because it still had the help of Mother Goddess of Depravity and Mother Tree of Desire in the cosmos!!
But if there was also a second anchor of the same level! Then he would win at least fifty percent! Especially since he was going to be contesting from within the barrier where the influence of the Uncertain Mist in the Cosmos was the weakest! Which would only push it further.
Loki smiled mysteriously before revealing the second Anchor.
"Who else but 'Him'!?" Loki said calmly unveiling the Primordial Chaos baby!
The genie shivered when the Grey Fog veil fell and the Primordial Chaos was revealed!
For a second he was about to return to his most comfortable dwelling in the Magic Wishing Lamp, but Loki said something that sparked his interest further.
"'He' has parasited the Primordial Chaos, so temporarily as long as the Uncertain Mist does not immediately win, you can be guaranteed a seventy five percent chance at being the dominant personality once the vortex ritual begins! After all what better anchor than someone on the Original Creator Level?"
Silence reigned supreme as the Son of Chaos pondered seriously to make a decision while Loki thought on his own question.
'Is this the power of Dumbledore's prophecies?'
'Was it so easy all along to become the Error pathway True God? I should've gotten in Dumbledore's good graces long ago then! Why did I not!' Loki lamented.
At that point the Genie in the lamp asked the most crucial question in the moment.
"And what do you gain in the process?"
"Of course! The vortex ritual will include the advancement of Mr. Error and his revival! And all those in the ritual will have to power it to keep it running until then!"
This was the bait Loki was going to use to attract Rowena.
After all she could be least bothered by the fact that the Son of Chaos was going to escape earth and merge with its counterpart in the cosmos.
So Loki was going to use a property of the Vortex rituals to make Rowena and by extension the Son of Chaos into his personal body guards as he ascended up to Great Old One and finally Original Creator Status!
Each Vortex ritual had a simple property.
That all of the participants in the ritual unless not satisfied with their transactions that were promised when the ritual began would cause the ritual to exist forever until they were finally satisfied and the ritual stopped.
This allowed Loki to do something simple, it allowed him to start the ritual with three demands.
The first demand was simple, Son of Chaos and Uncertain Mist would merge together in a fair fight for dominance.
This would trap the Son of Chaos in the ritual.
The second demand was even simpler, Rowena would pray for the Son of Chaos for as long as the merging process was continuing.
This was to trap Rowena in the ritual.
But the third demand was the most important for Loki.
"The Son of Chaos and Rowena Ravenclaw would for as long as Mr. Error had not resurrected, protect him and pray to him to not let the ritual end."
This was to establish an anchor for Mr. Error in the Original Creator until Loki's past self resurrected.
The wording of the demand was intentionally vague!
Because neither Rowena nor the Son of Chaos knew that Mr. Error could not resurrect until Loki reached Original Creator Status.
And Loki had a simple plan to achieve that!
As soon as Loki had become a Sequence 2 Trojan Horse of Destiny, Loki had gotten a new ability!
The Ability to steal the Original Identity's Spirt Body, Consciousness and Psyche and turn into the Original Identity upon the Original Identity's death!
According to the Goddess of Fortune, past Loki only had one restriction!
The restriction was that he would not resurrect before his avatar reached Original Creator status!
Which meant that he could at least die before then and because there was no longer the need for past Loki to keep his memories coherent with present Loki, it meant that he could die and take a break until he was reborn!
Which gave Loki the perfect opportunity to pull of the unthinkable.
Loki would steal past Loki's identity before he resurrected to automatically ascend to King of King Of Angels status directly without ever needing to go through the advancement ritual!
After that, as long as Loki advanced to Sequence 0 Error status and then Great Old One status and finally Original Creator Status, past Loki could resurrect freely!
It would take time!
Which was why for the duration Loki was a King of King of Angels, he would need body guards to keep him safe from all harm until he advanced to Original Creator Status while he was merged with the Primordial Chaos in place of past Loki!
So above all, Loki was about to deceive two Great Old One level beings!
And even more if the Uncertain Mist decided to include Mother Goddess of Depravity and Mother Tree of Desire to secure its own victory in the merging process!
Finally, the Son of Chaos agreed!
"Alright. I agree…" The Son of Chaos said and Loki smiled his widest before making the parasitised Minister Fudge begin the Vortex ritual.
Minister Fudge immediately burst into an uncertain mist of ginormous proportions!
His face expanded, along with his eyes and his nose as his entire body was stretched thin into an uncertain bloody mist!
The form was grotesque and unsightly for both Loki and the Son of Chaos but they bore through the process since it was linked directly to their new and upcoming freedom!!
The Uncertain mist then contacted four beings at once!
The first was the Uncertain Mist itself, its master and the one that wished to initiate the merger!
The second was the Son of Chaos who wished to merge and emerge as the dominant party in the ritual.
The third was Rowena Ravenclaw, she was spiritually given the reason Loki had given the Genie, to protect Mr. Error through his revival!
The fourth was none other than the Primordial Chaos itself!
The final results were as follows.
The Uncertain Mist accepted! Albeit as predicted it invited two more people into the ritual! Mother Goddess of Depravity and Mother Tree of Desire!
Both of them accepted too!
The Son of Chaos accepted, albeit belatedly as he waited until he saw Rowena Ravenclaw accept since he could use her as a shield for as long as the three Outer Gods ganged up on him.
The Primordial Chaos tried to reject!
But this was already foreseen by Loki!
Since the Uncertain Mist had called Mother Goddess of Depravity and 'She' had accepted! The Primordial Chaos found its only opportunity to return to its womb!!
So the Primordial Chaos also accepted, even more eagerly!
And so the Vortex Ritual began!
Now it was impossible for even an Angel to interrupt it or cancel it!
And since the participants were Great Old Ones they wouldn't even allow the ritual to end in the first place!
The Ritual was under their protection!
Of course! The Primordial Chaos tried to break the ritual and jump directly towards Mother Goddess of Depravity!
However the Primordial Chaos was weakened severely by past Loki, and couldn't muster up the energy to break a ritual initiated by a vortex bearer who had involved three Great Old Ones in the ritual!
After all, if it persisted in trying to break the ritual and merge with Mother Goddess of Depravity, past Loki would fully erase it and attain to Original Creator Status immediately!!!
But this was a chance par to any other!
Loki used this chance flawlessly!
Loki infused the Primordial Chaos with all his two hundred and ninety six remaining worms of time to parasitise it!!
The Primordial Chaos was instantly hit by two hundred and ninety six parasitism attempts!
Of course they all failed! But the Primordial Chaos that was already weakened by trying to break the Vortex Ritual and being parasitised by past Loki was weakened further!
To top it all off Loki finally pulled out his wand and performed his self created spell!
"Mens Velox Acus!"
Almost instantly the Primordial Chaos's body of heart and mind crumbled!
The weakened Primordial Chaos was weakened further! To the extent that the Primordial Chaos had to enter hibernation to save himself!
Only this was the plan all along!
Past Loki snatched up the opportunity to dominiate the Primordial Chaos and became the dominant personality momentarily! Attaining Original Creator Status temporarily!
Only that wasn't what was needed so in a shocking turn of events Past Loki killed himself!!!
Not one to waste the Golden opportunity, Loki instantly capitalised on it by stealing the main Body's Spirit Body, consciousness and Psyche!
It was a theft of a century as Loki felt himself dissolve and reappear! Not in the sanctum sanctorum of the two other Uniquenesses of the Lord of the Mysteries pathways but inside the Primordial Chaos himself!
But with the Primordial Chaos temporarily asleep, Loki was equal to the Original Creator himself!
However things were still not idle!
Since Mr. Error from the deal died! Rowena was freed from the ritual! So she instantly decided to leave since risking corruption from Mother Goddess of Depravity and Mother Tree of Desire to wait until his resurrection was not worth it!
The Son of Chaos was about to instantly lose in the battle against Uncertain Mist after that however Loki had already calculated that far ahead!
Rowena had betrayed him for her own interests earlier!
Now that Mr. Error was dead, she would of course do the same thing again!
However Loki had already planned for this to occur! And here Loki was about to use the weapon Rowena had given him on herself!
Loki inside the Primordial Chaos's body pulled out the paper crane that Rowena had given him!
Loki bestowed it with his will and corrupted it rather easily! After all he was currently a being with Original Creator status!
The Goddess of Fortune manifested at that moment!
Not as a beautiful lady! But as the Snake that ate its own tail!
"REBOOT!"
The Goddess of fortune used Reboot!
The entire scenario reset back by only a few seconds right up until the ritual just began!
Rowena was returned to her spot after accepting the ritual!! Forcibly!
And since Loki was currently at Original Creator level! He was unaffected by the Reboot! So by extension, past Loki stayed dead!
But the Primordial Chaos was currently weaker than Loki and currently suppressed so it was affected! And so it was brought back to the time when he had just accepted the ritual but was completely and utterly destroyed by Loki and caused it to fall asleep!
This was why Loki had chosen to involve himself in the vortex ritual right now!
Because he could weaken the Primordial Chaos enough to over take it!
So Loki as Primordial Chaos was constantly protected by Rowena, now all that was left was the fact that Loki had to truly advance to Sequence 0 Error and then finally to Great Old One status by absorbing the Uniquenesses before him before absorbing the Sefirah!
After that he would be free to truly advance to Original Creator Status and his current position wouldn't just be symbolic!
At this moment, now that Loki had attained to Original Creator Status! The Past Loki could now resurrect!
And resurrect he did!
Amidst the chaos that was the Vortex ritual, the past Loki resurrected right there! As an avatar of the current Loki!
Although he did not keep his psyche or consciousness or even Sprit Body! He still remembered what he had to do because Loki gave him a command!
"Absorb the full set of Sequence 9 to Sequence 1 characteristics of the fool pathway!"
And so within the next two Reboot Cycles, past Loki diligently absorbed the Sequence 9 to Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics that the present Loki had separated from the Hanged man!
Past Loki didn't care for not completing the rituals because all Loki were incorruptible!
Corruption couldn't reduce Lokis to madness!
It would at most manifest as ravings in the background!
This had already been tested when Past Loki advanced without completing the rituals for the Error Pathway!
However, past Loki had also already completed most of the High Sequence rituals!
He had Killed a Demigod by orchestrating a grand performance several times in the Second Chaotic Epoch!
He had already been separated from reality for three hundred years by being asleep and fighting off the corruption from the Primordial Chaos. He had also been forgotten to history after Salazar Slytherin concealed any mention and knowledge of the Lord of the Mysteries Pathways!
Past Loki had already returned a piece of History that had been left behind to the present Era! Past Loki had already brought back the remnant will of the Original Mr. Error into the picture for the entirety of the Fourth Epoch!
The Original Mr. Error was already dead at that point and he had been left behind in history and was returned to the present Era.
Past Loki had already made a town of marionettes with each marionette having its own fated trajectory by using Loki's converted members of the Aurora Order that he had marionetted!
Past Loki had also already fooled history by collaborating with Salazar Slytherin and erasing the Lord of the Mysteries Pathways from history!!
Past Loki had already completed each ritual of the high sequence of the fool pathway!
As soon as he finished consuming the Sequence 1 Characteristics, the rest of the two Sequence 1 Characteristics were mixed along with the Uniqueness that was hanging on the door Uniqueness to form the Sequence 0 Fool pathway potion!
At this stage! The Primordial Chaos stepped out of the vortex, not out of the ritual, only out of the vortex using the authority of the Original Creator before looking at Past Loki and drinking his own potion!
A Liquid formed by Overlapping Layers of Segmented Worms! the Sequence 0 Potion of the Error pathway!
Loki made this potion by stealing the Worm of Time connected to his fate due to Dumbledore's prophecy like he stole the Chalice of Helga Hufflepuff from the vault inside Gringotts!
He dropped in the uniqueness, the monocle, into the potion to complete it and looked at Past Loki and shared a smile for all the troubles they had been in to reach this moment!
They looked at each other one last time before Loki first gulped his potion and then Past Loki gulped his!
Almost instantly Loki parasitised Past Loki and replaced him in the ritual!
Loki closed his eyes but could see!
Loki opened his eyes but could not see!
Loki could not hear the talks of the Great Old Ones by his side, but he could also hear the whispers and wanings of their close sense of losing control because of the presence of the Primordial Chaos.
Loki could simultaneously feel the errors occurring all across the planet, a nascent programmer cursing his misfortune at having to do overtime because of a bug, a shopkeeper cursing at his cash register for getting stuck, a carpenter cursing at the measurements he so deliberately calculated to become wrong, a cab driver gleeful at the error that caused his fair to increase by leaps and bounds.
Loki could feel it all!
He could also feel the Errors happening on his own body like it were an amalgamation of the Errors of all those across the planet.
He could feel his vision elongate, he could feel sound suddenly occasionally pass right through him as if he didn't exist.
He was being consumed by the potion!
Suddenly however, anchors formed in Loki's heart as he heard the prayers of the Tarot Club all at once!
A Coincidence!
But one that helped solidify Loki's humanity!
Loki grabbed on to the opportunity and cogitated his body, freeing it of any errors while keeping his divine sense spread across the Astral Realm intact.
If the Universe could clap, it would clap in this moment!
After all, Loki had finally reached Error God status!
Loki immediately reincarnated Past Loki as an avatar before turning to the Sefirah Castle and immediately accommodating it!
And since like Klein there was no other personality to fight off for him inside the castle, the accommodation was instant!
Since the Sefirah Castle had already deeply intertwined with him when he became the Error god it took no time to accomodate the castle itself.
Now Loki was a Great old One. A being that spanned not just the planet but a pillar of the Universe itself!
He had gone from Sequence 2 Trojan Horse of Destiny to Great Old One status in only a few moments!
Having turned into a great old one with speed that would turn the fastest of progressing Beyonders blue-green with envy, Loki finally turned to the Primordial Chaos.
Loki looked at the Primordial Chaos with interest.
It was still asleep because Loki had hurt it so badly and because of the reboot.
Seeing he had time, Loki absorbed all the Beyonder Characteristics freely available to him in the Wall of Time.
Then Loki grabbed a hold of the Door pathway Uniqueness and turned it into a resplendent staff shimmering with stars.
Loki turned the Uniqueness of the fool pathway into gloves for his hands before turning the Uniqueness of the Error pathway into a glitching hat and the monocle at the same time, an error suitable for the uniqueness.
Loki now looked like a proper Noble.
After all that Loki finally killed the Primordial Chaos and took its place by fully and deeply parasitising it and turning it into himself by stealing its fate, identity and its spirit body.
At this moment a crack rang across the wide universe as all the Beyonder Characteristics experienced a qualitative change!
They all pointed from the previous Original Creator to Loki who was the new Original Creator!
Except this Original Creator did not have the urge to kill anyone or awaken in them! Leading to zero madness for all Beyonders instantly!
The ritual was still ongoing since the Son of Chaos had never merged with the Uncertain Mist because of the Reboot so Loki turned towards the Goddess of Fortune.
He looked at her through the reboot Oroboros present atop everyone at the Sanctum Sanctorum of the department of Mysteries.
She was a beautiful woman, one that Loki immediately recognised.
"Daphne…" Loki whispered.
Daphne smiled at Loki and paused her reboot.
Three things happened after that.
The Son of Chaos instantly merged with the Uncertain Mist as Loki manipulated the Uncertain Mist and erased him from existence by simply stealing his identity as the Error pathway True God.
The Son of Chaos now the primary identity in the merger, turned towards Loki from the cosmos and thanked him before leaving him alone. Loki was terrifying!
Mother Goddess of Depravity was next!
Loki stole all her Authorities as the current Original Creator and banished her to the edge of the cosmos!
As he did for Mother Tree of Desire!
Both the women were shocked, surprised and bamboozled.
They had not had even an inkling of what was happening inside the planet because of the barrier!
They had only taken part in the ritual because of the Uncertain Mist asking their help for fighting a fight for the dominant persona.
So how did they suddenly lose their Authorities and become banished!?
Loki had simply toyed with the concept of an error! After all they were so close to the Primordial Chaos through the Ritual, and by extension the Original Creator. If the last time with the Original Creator woke up they lost their Sefirot and Beyonder Characteristics, now that there was a fully powered Original Creator standing by their side through the vortex ritual, why should they not lose everything else!?
Loki smiled but wasted no breath on them for they were now worse than ghosts that would die naturally once they slowly realised the lack of their characteristics, their countless enemies would kill them for sure.
Instead he turned towards Daphne who had been afflicted by the same curse as him!
She was also corrupted by the Primordial Chaos!
Loki stole away her corruption and things finally slowed down after that.
"You're safe now…" Loki whispered to Daphne brushing her cheek.
Daphne blushed before nodding softly.
"I've waited too long for this…"
Loki nodded. "I know… I've regained my memories."
Loki had regained his original Memories!
Not the memories of his time as past Loki! But his memories of his time as the universe's Original Creator himself!
Yes! Loki was the Original Creator for this universe! He had originally transmigrated directly into the Original Creator in the universe the first time he arrived into this world!
Loi still remembered the transmigration office.
"What universe do you want to go into?" A being of unparalleled might and intelligence asked him.
"I want to go into Lord of the Mysteries no, scratch that, let's make it Harry Potter for safety's sake!" Loki said calmly after he had been sent here by the transmigration truck.
However the magnanimous being who would send Loki to another world was in a hurry!
And so as soon as Loki said that he wished to go to the Lord of the Mysteries World the transmigration process had already begun!
"Wait… you want to go to the Harry Potter world!?" The being asked surprised before changing the trajectory of Loki from a random person in the LOTM world into the Original Creator himself so that Loki could create the world he wanted!
And so in the world where the three children of the Original Creator had already been born, Mother Goddess of Depravity, Mother Tree of Desire and the Son of Chaos, Loki infested the Original Creator!
However, since Loki was about to succumb to madness because he could not hold such power so immediately, Loki was forced to split himself off from the Original Creator after making preparations for himself!
And that preparation was the Goddess of Fortune who had one job! To resurrect him as many times as it would take for him to become the Original Creator!
She had tried several times, even getting corrupted in the last one when she tried to directly create Loki and superimpose him with the image of the Original Creator, but since that was when Mother Goddess of Depravity got impregnated with the Primordial Chaos and the Original Creator turned into the Primordial Chaos which gave birth to the original will of the Original Creator, the Goddess of Fortune failed and was corrupted instead!
Now Loki could only become the Original Creator himself! By crawling up through the sequences himself and claiming the throne!
Now Loki had regained all these memories!
He looked at Daphne with a kind gaze before petting her hair softly.
"Thank you…"
…
A few years later…
"Mommy which god should I choose!?"
"Which ever you want to child, since in the end they all lead back to Mr. Error."
"Yeah!!! I want to be as cool as Mr. Error too!!!! I'll join the slytherin house and digest all my potions before becoming Mr. Error myself!!"
The mother looked at the child with a kind smile since this was how she was when she was a child.
She still remembered the first days the news about True Gods was released to the public.
She remembered the chaos it had caused and how Mr. Error had been there to support them through all of it by punishing the evil doers and rewarding the kinder people himself.
Several gods were by his side throughout, be it the founders of Hogwarts who were surprisingly True gods themselves or Merlin himself reborn as Dumbledore or even Mr. Error's little tail Elane the Moon Goddess, they were all gentle with the good and harsh on the evil!
It was a lot of work but eventually when she was at age for coming to Hogwarts, Hogwarts unveiled a new program.
The Beyonder partnership program which allowed all kids to turn into Beyonder of pathways of their choosing.
This set an unprecedented new tone in the previous dull life of wizards and witches!
After all even muggles could become Beyonders so the competition to prove yourself worthy of becoming one and advancing through the sequences was rare and strugglesome! It was as exciting as the Arcadia Royale games that the Gods used to entertain themselves using their followers!
She had struggled as the Death pathway Beyonder and rose to the rank of a Sequence 5 Gatekeeper.
She just wished for her son to do the same! Then she could proudly show him off to the neighbours whose daughter was already a Sequence 8 Clown!
"Hmpf. Clowns and their jokes. They should stay in a circus those freaks."
"Did you say something mom?"
"Nothing. Just remember, no matter what you must not join the fool pathway! Okay!?"
"Yes momma! I will only join the fool pathway!!!"
The kid shouted and rushed onto the train immediately leaving the mother dumbfounded on the platform.
"You fool!!!!!!"
"Excuse me miss…" A man suddenly stepped in to talk to the distraught parents of the rather naughty child.
"Yes?" The mother asked fuming while the father tried to hold her back.
"I might have a solution to your problem… I have a few connections in the right places… and I might be able to get your son into the Error pathway… would you be interested?"
"The error pathway!!! You must be kidding!! That's such a high demand pathway!! Only the best students each year are even selected for consideration!!!!" The mother squealed, unbelieving and wondering if this was possibly a scam!
The man smiled politely before speaking, "Well I have a few connections so it'll be alright. As proof you can contact the Error god and ask him if it is the truth!"
"What do we call you Mr?" the father asked eagerly.
The seller nudged a monocle on his right eye before speaking, "Oh, Me? Have I not introduced myself yet? Please call me Mr. Error."
