Bab 43: Vol 2 Ch 31
Loki replied. "And yet their are humans who show compassion, who fight for what is right and true. Who devote their entire life to attain peace. Those who give their life to shine a light on the people who hide in the shadows. For they cannot survive in the light."
Doom had looked at him with narrowed eyes. "And how do you believe that peace can be achieved."
"Tell me, what will happen if all countries have access to unlimited resources or if world hunger is solved." Victor had calmed himself when he asked this question.
"War, a war will break out. It will start with smaller countries but it will span the entire globe eventually."
"And if resources are depleted." Victor was impressed with the answer so he continued with his line of questioning.
"War over the remaining resource. This war may even turn into a nuclear holocaust for Humanity." Loki had sighed and answered.
"Impressive. And yet in each of these situations, people did not come together to advance humanity to the next stage. I do not blame you for your answer. That is one of the reason I decided to destroy all of my research in the USA to prevent the military from getting their hands on it." Victor said as he looked over his country once more. "There is a reason that everyone is obsessed with maintaining the status quo. But the problem with maintaining the status quo is that eventually it would break. Look around you, even now there exist hate crimes, racism, blatant genocide. And the world ignores them, it is news for a few days then eventually it is forgotten about. I laid in that camp hoping that help was coming, at one point I realized it was not as I saw the people around me die one by one. I traveled the world and saw that we are poisoning our home. The planet we were born on and people still have the audacity to claim that the climate crisis is not real." Each subsequent sentence was making Victor angrier and angrier.
Victor calmed himself, his own words had made him subsequently angrier and angrier. "Peace can only be achieved by great power. Someone strong enough to suppress the rest of the world and unite it under their banner. One nation one goal."
Loki remembered Madara walking the same path once. He realized where it would lead. The realization that sometimes strength is not enough. So he spoke. "That would lead you down a path of tyranny. And it would never achieve true peace. Rebellions will pop out one after another to stop you. Rebellions you will have to put down. It would negate your entire objective in the first place."
"And what would you suggest, how can peace be achieved." Victor turned to him, his hands behind him.
"The only way to achieve true peace is through understanding. The day that people can finally understand each other is the day that we can finally be in harmony." Loki replied.
"And how would that be done." Victor had asked him.
"Now, that is the question. But it has already been done once. " Loki had remembered about Naruto and how for the first time there was peace within the nations. "Someone has already broken a far more vicious cycle of hatred." He said cryptically while giving Victor an eye smile.
Victor waited for him to explain further but he maintained his silence for the moment. "You are not going to tell me anything further are you?"
"Nope." Loki answered.
"Just as well, the time for idle talk is over we need to move." Victor turned his eyes back to the sprawling landscape. It was time to act.
--------------------------------------------------
Loki had clear instruction, he was not to kill any of the Latverians, the outsiders however were free game. Loki was moving separately from the main army which was leading the assault on the prison camp. This time Victor was leading the attack while donning his armor, the militia of the people made were behind him and his doom bots. If there was one thing that Loki could respect about Victor, it was the fact that he kept his own words. He was keeping them out of danger, letting his doom bots take all of the incoming fire.
Loki used hiding like a mole technique and got within the holding camp, while Victor will distract them with the main army. He was going to sneak in and rescue the prisoners.
He was within the camp, and he heard them about to start executing people. He was not sure what accent they were using. It was a mixture of german or russian. It was hard to tell. Loki had popped out of the ground to grab one of the guards and pulling him down into the ground. Looking at the uniform, Loki realzed that this was one of the mercenaries. In a single quick movement, he took out his knife and slit his throat.
Twenty more people guarding the camp.
Loki had quicky popped out, and activated his sharingan. In slow motion, he had realized that these were all mercenaries. He could let loose over here. Guns were turned on him and they fired. Loki used shunshin to appear behind another mercenary, taking out his katana in one quick motion. He had hacked off his head. They turned his gun towards him again but he passed wind chakra through his katana and slashed. A long slash of wind cut one other mercenary into two.
Bullets came for him which he had deflected using his own katana. Loki stepped back and used Kamui to disappear into a wormhole within his own eyes.
"Where is he fucking gone." One mercenary had yelled
"We can't fucking fight some freak like that." another had yelled.
"Fan out and search ....." He did not get the opportunity to finish his sentence. A katana was coming out of his chest. He had looked down in fear at the part of the blade that was coming out of his chest.
His companions fired at him to get to Loki behind him.
The blade was withdrawn and Loki disappeared again. Loki began to kill everyone else as he drew his sword and began to slaughter them all. Any shots fired at him were deflected with his katana. His sharingan activated as he looked at the path of their bullets.
Soon, Loki was done. The entire camp was painted by blood. He had stepped towards the back wall and charged a rasengan. He slammed it into a wall and it broke apart.
A few doom bots had entered as they began to open the cages and provide medical care and lead them all to safety. As an old lady was escorting a few children outside, she had kicked a few of the dead mercenaries while she was leaving. "This is for my son." She had yelled out. The doom bot let her vent her frustrations until it led her outside once more.
As she was passing by Loki, she had said. "Thank you. I was afraid I would have lost my grand children as well."
As they were led outside, one doom bot had approached Loki. "Your services are required. The front line cannot be secured without causalities on the side of Latverian military. They need to be dealt with in a non fatal manner."
Loki had nodded at that. Unbeknownst to him, the doom bot that was near him was recording him at the moment. Loki had used chakra to enhance his body as he ran towards the place towards the place where the soldiers had set up their defensive line. Seeing that as too wide of an area to take care of without having the soldiers shoot their compatriots. They were raining fire at Victor and he had a shield infront of him to prevent fire on the civilians behind him.
Loki had quickly done the hand signs and channeled his chakra. Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld.
The ground beneath the soldiers had turned into swamp. Loki overcharged the jutsu, increasing the area of effect and making it sticky. The soldiers lost their footing as they began to sink helplessly, trying to help each other stay above ground.
"Order their capture now." Loki had told the doom bot with him.
"Affirmative" It said as its eyes shone red.
The Doom bots around Victor had ran towards the now sinking defensive line. As they reached the line, Loki had dispelled his own jutsu. The swamp had disappeared and the doom bots had secured the prisoners.
Victor had approached him. "Stellar work, are the prisoners safe."
"Yes," Loki had replied.
"Now, this war truly begins." Victor had said as he began to approach the prisoners. He had a speech to give and an example to make.
"Look around you, are you not tired of not having enough to eat." Victor had said to the soldiers who had their hands bound and were sitting down in front of him. "While that king and his royal family grow fat and content. Do you not feel shame as you oppress your own country men for what a few pennies, for the fucking million those people who sit in their ivory towers make."
Victor had moved up and down, his bots keeping the soldiers faces focused on his face.
"I have had enough, and I am going to rip those ivory towers down. So that, atleast we will have enough to eat. So that, we don't have to die from the fucking flu. So that we can live with some damn fucking pride, our heads held high." Victor had stood still, his hands behind his back. He faced each and everyone of the soldier as he said. "My name is Victor Von Doom and I have had enough."
