THE GOD EATER

He had to avoid colliding with the snail since he was weak without his Cave Heaven to use. In his weakened condition, it would be easy for any one to injure him. So a snail that was moving as fast as a high-speed rail train would definitely injure him if it collided with him.

The speed of the snail was abnormally fast, and it caused him to widen his eyes in surprise as he narrowly dodged it. But after feeling shocked, he had to accept it simply for the fact that everything was odd here.

He said to himself, “The trees are white and smooth and reflect everything like a mirror. The birds can tunnel through the earth, and worms can fly in the sky. A snail that moves faster than a cheater is just one of the oddities here.”

After speaking, he summoned a normal creature and a drone from his Cave Heaven to test something. Hammock had told him what would happen, but he wanted to see it for himself.

However, he created a long distance between himself and the two things that he summoned. This way, he would be able to avoid any accident that would surely happen.

When the two things appeared, the puppet was fine. It didn’t look affected, but Loki could tell that it was slowly losing its structural integrity. In his senses, the puppet was becoming lighter and less dense every second it was exposed to the second dimension.

As for the lizard that he summoned, the poor creature died instantly. It didn’t even manage to take a breath and failed to do so because there was no air to breathe in this dimension.

The lizard simply gave up the ghost. Its cells all shut down, and all processes of metabolism came to an immediate end.

After dying, the body of the lizard also began to experience the same thing that the puppet was experiencing. It was losing structural integrity and unraveling before his eyes. But this was just the start of the weird experience of normal creatures and objects in the second heaven.

Immediately after the two of them appeared, the forest went haywire around him. The mirror trees lunged at the two objects. Phantom birds of various colors crawled out of the ground and all went after the two objects. Worms in the sky flew down to take a bite out of the two objects.

Basically, everything wanted to eat the two objects. In this case, eating was fusing, so everything wanted to fuse with the two objects. Even lakes and the fish within them came for the two objects.

As everything in the vicinity rushed after the two objects, the demise of the two objects came swiftly. Every spirit creature that came into contact with the two objects took something from them.

What the spirit creatures took wasn’t obvious. But it was obvious that the spirit objects were getting bigger while the two objects were becoming smaller, lighter, and more transparent.

Eventually, the two objects disappeared completely. There was no corpse left behind. There were no leftover bones for the lizard and no leftover bolts for the drone. It was as if they had never existed at all.

All that was left of the frenzy that had just occurred were some spirit creatures that were lucky enough to reach the two objects before the two of them were devoured. These lucky few were bigger than they were before he summoned the two creatures.

This made Loki shake his head and say, “I guess that confirms it. There is nothing I can do about it. Those spirit creatures will have to go.”

Right now, there is an attempted riot about to happen in his Cave Heaven. The spirit creatures that he gained from the Cave Heaven of the previous Monarch, Psychic Flame, want to rush throughout his Cave Heaven and forcefully assimilate every creature and every object in his Cave Heaven.

Their enthusiasm is odd since he has already seen that these spirit creatures don’t like to eat creatures of other types. Even birds will only eat or fuse with other birds of the exact same type and color.

Spirit creatures will ignore everything else as nothing exists aside from other creatures of the same type. But for some reason, they all go crazy for normal living things and normal objects.

Hammock said that this was because spirit creatures contained law fragments of only one kind, while normal living things and objects contain nearly every type of law fragments. The fact that living things have nearly every kind of law fragments created a case of mistaken identity.

Since spirit creatures always crave to combine with other spirit creatures with the same kind of law fragments and become bigger, they will always want to devour living things and normal objects. This is why what he just witnessed had happened.

This reason is also why spirit creatures cannot live in harmony with the living things and normal objects in his Cave Heaven. It is why he has been spending energy to suppress their movement and prevent them from turning his Cave Heaven upside down.

Right now, he has to make a decision. He can let the spirit creatures run wild and eat as much as they want. This will lead to the creation of larger spirit creatures.

These larger spirit creatures will provide more law fragments of a specific type, but he will lose all the lifespan that he could have gained from the living creatures in his Cave Heaven.

The other option is to get rid of the spirit creatures in his Cave Heaven. In that case, he will have to find another way to get law fragments.

After coming to the second heaven and seeing for himself how there were spirit creatures everywhere, this decision wasn’t difficult for him to make at all.

Besides, he prioritized lifespan over law fragments. So he decided to get rid of the spirit creatures in his Cave Heaven.
