Loki nodded then he added

'Even those powerful being is constrained by fate and destiny. The Destroyer is the Great Filter. His main task is to balance the Omniverse. Energy is not limitless after all. When a civilization reaches the ultimate form of their existence, approaching that forbidden line, then the Destroyer would awaken. And each time, it would be catastrophic for all life.'

Sighing, he added

'Seers and Oracles would sing of his arrival. Of course, the Final Battle is different than what Asgard and Olympus and the other civilization that is inside the Source Wall had to endure. But you already knew that, didn't you?' Loki ask his disciple and Peter nodded.

But then Peter still have many question. He then asks

'But I thought that living Inside the Source Wall you would not be affected by it?'

Loki smiles and explain.

'The effect of fate and destiny is minimal inside the Source Wall. That is true. But minimal doesn't mean it is not there and that the being inside it was not affected by it'

'The Destroyer is not some kind of an evil entity. It is an entity that was created to do a job. All in all, it is not that different from my job. I cut flowers. He cut worlds'

And he smiles a bit

'Though, my job seems to be a bit peaceful' he added and Peter ignore his teacher attempt to try to make a light hearted joke

Peter is very fond of making jokes with his enemies. But, he did not like it when people joke around with him.

Especially not from his teacher. Loki shakes his head and continue saying

'There is a reason why many advanced civilizations did not actively colonize the Omniverse. If they were to excessive, then the Destroyer would send his avatar to destroy that civilization. And trust me. The Destroyer power is immeasurable. There is no advanced civilization that could hold a candle against the prowess of the Destroyer. The thing is, when for example, the Destroyer awaken to destroy some unruly civilization that is hoarding the resources of the Omniverse, e would then move according to a directive. And this directive includes the powerful civilization like that of Asgard, of Olympus, of the Jade Empire and the rest. To avoid being destroyed and killed by the Destroyer, Asgard, Olympians and those people of the Jade Empire had created their own method. They would summon their own judgment day. Their won Twilight of the Gods so that the world that they have is reborn anew'

Peter understood a bit and he said

'Asgardian have Ragnarok. Olympians have the Gigantomachy. And the Jade Empire have the Investiture of the Gods.

Loki nodded and he too added a few more words

'Asgardian have the runes inscribed on the runic tablet on a chess board to revive those that died in Ragnarok. Olympians have the Hearth of Hestia to revive them after their death. The Jade Empire have the Investiture of the Gods Roll. They created this method to bring about their own destruction so that they will not be targeted by the Destroyer. Like I said, the Destroyer is only doing his job. He had no discrimination. Whatever, and whoever falls under the jurisdiction of his order, he would annihilate'

Peter understood another thing from his teacher explanation and then he asks

'These gods kill themselves, bringing about their own destruction in a farce play of judgment day is because they fear the Destroyer? Why?'

Even though Peter had his own speculation he wanted to confirm it from the mouth of his own teacher

Loki smirks and then he said

'The Destroyer flames and his ability to destroy is something that no being in the world could escape. And what I mean by that is that whoever were being erased by the Destroyer have no way of reviving back. They would truly die. No reincarnation. No revival of some other way. It erases the concept of existence itself. As you know, when you reach a certain level of power and abilities, there is always ways to come back from death. Death, for us then become more of a journey instead of some final destination'

Sighing he then said

'Some could hide their essence in an object, slowly gathering strength to return again. Some take another form. Others possesses other type of living beings. Some separate the fragment of their souls as insurance. As there are many stars in the sky, there is as many ways to return back from death after you have reach a certain level.'

Peter nodded. He acknowledges this. Of course, there is still ways for powerful being to still be subjected to death

Like the permanent death of Hikigaya and Oreki under the hands of Azief during the War of the Sovereigns

He also knows this. Then Loki continue by saying

'But the Destroyer method of destruction is a destruction that is absolute in nature. It overturns any methods of coming back, or reviving'

'There is no chance of reviving. There is no method you could use to hide your soul under his gaze. There is no way you could use a drop of blood to recreate yourself when you are being eradicated personally by the Destroyer. The exception was of course, Time God reversing the entirety of the Time Laws of the Omniverse. That is a wild bet' Anyway, getting back to the topic, as such, the civilization that is beyond the Source Wall all created a method of their own destruction'

Peter heard what his teacher is saying. And he frowned. As there is one question that he is afraid to ask

Sighing he then said

'But people die when you did this Twilights. When you created this judgment day upon your realm, living being tight are not Supreme being existence would die. And considering that Asgard had Eight Realm, I presume that many living being that would die in such an event would be astronomical'

Loki nodded.

Then he said

'Yes. Mortals die. But it beats being destroyed completely without ever having the chance to rise again. Do not mistake desperation as evil. Odin, Zeus, Yu Wang all of them did not want to do what they did. But the choice is hardly fair. To be eradicated completely without a trace or accept some sacrifice. You must remember Peter. There is always a Price for everything.'

By now, they have stopped walking. Peter think all that he has seen and all that he has heard. He now had a new understanding of the Destroyer.

But, it almost seems like there is still something that he had missed. What is the point of his teacher talking about all of this?

he could have just told him. It would not be that hard.

Peter look at his teacher and then he was reminded that his teacher that did not appear anything like a benevolent and generous being actually helped him after the End.

He had never had the chance to thank him at that time. Peter then suddenly said

'Thank you, teacher. For coming into my dream after the End and helping me to solve some of my doubts and tell me about the lore's and the formation that I need.' Loki frowned for a second and his eyes seems to be shining for a second.

He then asks

'Dreams?

'Yes. For giving me information about many things at that time before I went back in time. It had helped me immensely'

Loki seems to think for a moment and his forehead creased. He seems to be thinking of something very deeply and he nodded like he had understand something

Whatever it is, it clearly unsettles Loki heart. Peter did not understand the reason for the expression on his teacher face like he was confused with something.

Dawned understanding come into Loki mind and he could only accept it. There is a smile on Loki face after that and he nodded toward Peter, like he was acknowledging his words before.

'Ah, that dream' he suddenly said.

'It is nothing. I am glad that it could help you' he said.

Then Loki stopped walking.

The wind breeze by bringing the scent that resembles lilac and marigold.

At least that is how it smell for Loki. As for Peter, he smells lavender and jasmine. The scent would be the scent that is most suitable for them to smell.

Life force is all around him. Peter recognize that. Peter had also stopped as he saw that his teacher had stopped.

As he stopped, he began paying attention to his surrounding

He could hear the sound of water in the distance.

The moment he hears it; his eyes suddenly could see better to the distance. Before this, it was like he could only see only where his eyes could see.

It was not like when he could use his Divine Sense to see things that is far in the distance.

But when he heard the sound, he was suddenly granted the opportunity to see….to see more than he should

Like a fog has been dispersed and now his eyes could see what lies beyond that fog.
