THE GOD EATER

It was one thing for Martial Will to be confused, but Sword Maestro was also confused, and it showed in his voice as he said, ”Isn’t his pathway the Devouring Pathway? Does he have two pathways, or is there someone with the Time Pathway in his Cave Heaven?”

”It doesn’t matter what is going on,” Tepid Scholar said solemnly. ”He or they must be stopped now.”

As for Heavenly Eye, she sighed as she thought, ’I wish I still had my good eyes.’

While they were racking their brain about what to do, the Sea of Worlds began to shake. The very fabric of reality was shaking and vibrating as if a giant was stomping through the world.

This shaking distracted them from what was going on with Loki. They became confused as they tried to understand what was going on with the Sea of Worlds. But then they felt the fabric of reality become taut like a piece of elastic that had been pulled to its limit.

They didn’t know what it was, but they could tell that something was putting pressure on the Sea of Worlds and that the pressure had reached a critical point. If any more pressure were to mount on the Sea of Worlds, the fabric of space would snap and tear apart.

Then the Sea of Worlds would tear itself asunder. And if they were inside the Sea of Worlds when this happened, odds are that they would be torn along with the world.

The likelihood of this happening caused a feeling of crisis to strike them from the bottom of their heart. Dread appeared within their emotions and quickly began to take over their minds.

Soon, they began shaking together with the world. Whether this was because of their fear or because the world was shaking and forcing them to shake along with it, they couldn’t tell. But as bad as things were, there was no difference on the surface for their shaking.

Then the sky of the Sea of Worlds was torn apart. A long jagged crack, extending from one end of the Sea of Worlds to the other side, appeared above the world.

From their position, they glimpsed something on the other side of the crack. They saw a giant eye trying to push itself through the crack.

With this alone, they could tell that whatever this entity was, it didn’t come from the Sea of Worlds. They could also tell that this entity didn’t belong in the Sea of Worlds.

If they can tell this much, surely this entity must know better than they do about trying to enter a place too fragile to contain it. But the eye in the sky still forced its way into the crack and took over the sky of the Sea of Worlds.

The Sea of Worlds was mostly empty space. There were worlds ranging from small worlds to super worlds, scattered everywhere. But about 99% of the Sea of Worlds was empty. Yet, the eye in the sky was large enough to fill up the entire space in the sky.

The eye was so large that it covered all of the worlds in the super world. And this was just the eye of the entity. Unless this entity was only an eye, no one could imagine just how big their whole body would be.

”What kind of hell is this?” Black Chain asked in disbelief.

Many people were like him, wondering what the eye was and why it had come to the Sea of Worlds. But the eye didn’t seem to be concerned about them.

In fact, the eye ignored all of them completely. The gaze of the eye in the sky was completely focused on Loki.

Loki had raised his head to look at the sky. When he saw it staring fixatedly at him, he spread his arms wide and shouted at the sky, saying, ”Here I am. Come and do your worst.”

At this moment, he didn’t feel much fear. This wasn’t because he was brave or was certain of his victory and didn’t think that there was anything worth being afraid of. In fact, the opposite was the case.

The enemy was so powerful that he was sure that he was going to die and that there was nothing he could do to change that outcome. He realized that not even being afraid would save him, so he didn’t bother to feel fear.

When he used the Power Identification Ability on the eye in the sky, he didn’t see anything helpful.

?????

What he saw was a series of question marks. It was less than helpful to his situation.

When he thought about why the Power Identification Ability was behaving like this, he thought, ’Either the Power Identification Ability doesn’t recognize what it is seeing, or this eye is strong enough to block the effect of the Power Identification Ability. Either way, I am screwed.’

Even though that was what he believed, he still said to the eye in the sky, ”I am not afraid of you. Feel free to give it your best shot.”

As if responding to his words, the eye in the sky surged down. It fell from the sky like a waterfall in Loki’s direction.

In response to this attack, Loki flew into the sky, gathering all his power, combining all of his Supreme Metacs, and striking the eye with the True Damage Metac of the Killing Pathway. He enhanced himself with the True Damage Metac so his entire body began to glow a deep shade of red.

This rank 9 ability is the one ability he was sure could definitely damage his opponent. As for the other abilities, he wasn’t sure that they would be able to do anything to the eye because of the overwhelming difference in their power.

He rushed into the sky like a red comet streaking through the emptiness of space. As the eye smashed down onto him, he struck back with all of his might. But instead of striking the eye, the eye disregarded his attack and surged into his body.
