Even Loki before he became Sovereign sometimes have to fight friends and people, he considers family because of that damn "loyalty"
What the common people called loyalty is what the ruling class called successful indoctrination
So that the common people would give their life for the one that is oppressing them.
If that is not indoctrination and is not brainwashing, then what do you call that?
As for the Battle in Africa, that chain managed to chain the Annihilator long enough for the World Government to call the Prince and for the Prince to descend into the mortal world
And the moment they met each other; the Annihilator suddenly went amuck.
At that time and even after the battle, even after analyzing the battle from all sides and perspective, the World Government did not understand why the Annihilator suddenly broke through the chain
And then the Annihilator did not spare any expense in fighting even overdrawing the energy that is in its body to fight against Azief
