THE GOD EATER

With his mind made up about not giving the sects more of his lifespan when he doesn’t need to, the heart of this small world can only be eaten or used for something more useful than eating. Those two options are the top contenders for what he plans to do with this world.

He is actually curious to see if eating a new Divine Position would change anything in Fenrir. But this is an experiment he is only willing to try later, when he is about to restart a timeline.

If he eats this world, he will certainly grow stronger by gaining more law fragments and more lifespan to use his power. But he already has a lot of lifespan, and there are other ways to gain law fragments, so he decided to use the heart of the world to create a powerful minion.

If this minion idea works, he will have powerful tools that he can use without having to spend a lifespan to activate. Not only that, but these ant drones would also be useful in the second dimension, where the power of cave heavens can’t be used.

He was thinking about this when he felt the changes in Hammock begin to wind down. Since Hammock hadn’t turned into ashes and was radiating immense power, this indicated that he had successfully completed the process of transformation into a divine being.

This made Loki nod in satisfaction and say, “I never doubted you.”

He was talking about his Nanite Metac, not Hammock’s talent. Hammock’s talent and qualifications had been improved after the Nanite Metac transformed him, and Hammock had even become a dragon, so there was no way that Hammock would have failed to transform.

There was also the fact that the will of the world was taking care of Hammock. So Hammock had double the insurance of successfully ascending.

But just as Loki was feeling satisfied, he felt a thug on Hammock’s mind. He felt that something was influencing Hammock’s mind and trying to take control of it.

There was only one entity in this world who could contend with him, and he had also heard about how the will of a world once took control of a rank 6 array, so he was quick to pinpoint the perpetrator who was trying to wrestle away control of his puppet.

His face was slowly contorted by anger, and he even growled at the will of the world. But the will of the world refused to stop trying to take control of Hammock.

This made him snort and say to himself, ’So that’s why it didn’t care that Hammock had changed. It was willing to help Hammock ascend because it planned to take control of Hammock from me.’

As he was thinking to himself, his gaze pierced the barriers of the extradimensions and locked onto the core of the world in the third dimension.

Unfortunately for him, this world now has a world king. So as he was watching, he saw the core of the world fade away from sight. Then it disappeared completely.

In the meantime, he was still wrestling control of Hammock with the will of the world. The problem with this is that the will of the world has a deeper connection to Hammock that it can use to control Hammock.

After all, he only changed Hammock’s body while the will of the world improved both Hammock’s body, soul, and mind. Plus, the will of the world has access to his mind, while he doesn’t.

The Nanite Metac can’t control the mind. It can only control the body. So at best, he can make Hammock unable to move his body, while the will of the world can prevent Hammock from listening to his orders.

As the struggle continued, he quickly realized that he was losing ground. This made him curse and say, “If only I had a Metac for enslaving things.”

On the other hand, the will of the world was literally the amalgamation of the consciousness and will of every living thing into his world. So Hammock’s mind is a part of it and can be influenced by the will of the world.

This was why he lost total control of Hammock’s mind and could only maintain control of Hammock’s body after a while. But even this wasn’t easily achieved. He has to continue to activate the Nanite Metac, which is constantly consuming his lifespan, for him to achieve this.

Fortunately, he has been able to hold on with the Nanite Metac. But this has put both him and the will of the world at a stalemate that doesn’t appear to be broken anytime soon.

In the meantime, unless he killed Hammock, he wouldn’t be able to reach the core of the world to directly attack it. This has put him in a strange chokehold.

This chokehold is because the will of the world has given him a choice to make between two options. He can either continue to spend his lifespan in order to maintain the stalemate, or he can destroy his puppet. Both options will involve him losing something.

When he realized this, he laughed out in anger. Then he said, ’I won’t even play around with you. I am done playing with you.’

He could kill the heart of the world at any moment because he has already marked the heart and can use the Siphon Ability on it at any moment.

But he doesn’t want to damage the heart since that will also damage the final product. So he decided to use another method to break this stalemate.

This other method wasn’t to eat the world while the will of the world watched in anguish, unable to do anything to stop him. That option would also damage the final product.

What he did was to go over to Hammock, grab the giant ant, and stuff it into his Cave Heaven. Hammock didn’t try to stop him because the ant queen couldn’t move its body. The will of the world couldn’t stop him either.
