THE GOD EATER

He sounded like he was bluffing when he claimed he could take more beatings, but he wasn’t bluffing about it. They believed that his capacity for Entropy was Rank(10) * Total Divinity(42) * Total Volume of Supreme Metacs(9^3), which is 306,180 units, but they were very wrong about this.

First of all, he had a Divine Spark, so his true capacity for Entropy was actually Rank(10) * Total Divinity(42) * Total Volume of Supreme Metacs(9^3) * Authority(10, which is 3,061,800 units, not 306,180 units.

Secondly, he had the Spark of Power, which was providing 693 extra divinity and 21^3 extra volume, all from the 21 cubes. So his total capacity for Entropy is Rank(10) * Total Divinity(37 + 693) * Total Volume of Supreme Metacs(9^3 + 21^3) * Authority(10), which comes to a total of 729,270,000 units.

Therefore, he was actually 2,381 times more resilient to a beating than they estimated. So he wasn’t bluffing at all when he saw that the Will could continue to beat him.

Unfortunately, the Will didn’t have any more interest and said in frustration, ”You have won. What more do you want?”

”I really can’t take anymore Entropy. At this rate, you’ll destroy me. Is this what you really want?” It asked Loki in trepidation.

It was really afraid that Loki would say, ”Yes, I won’t be satisfied until you’re destroyed.”

Fortunately, Loki said, ”That’s not what I want. If i wanted to destroy you, i wouldn’t have entered your home ground to fight you. I would have attacked from outside the world”

Just as it felt relieved, Loki said, ”But you have to pay a price for your mistake. You can’t just attack me and call it a day when you become too tired to continue.”

”Actually, I can,” It said.

Before Loki could get angry, it explained, saying, ”I am the Will of the world. It is my job to fight every intruder and defend the world. When I fail, you get to destroy the world or anchor your Supreme Metac. That’s how this works.”

”I was just doing my job. It was nothing personal. You have won, so you get to enjoy the spoils of your victory. Surely, you didn’t think you could anchor your Supreme Metac in any world without paying a price or fighting for it.”

”No. I was prepared to pay a price for it. That’s why I offered you two Supreme Metacs for your cooperation,” Loki said sternly.

He glared as he said, ”I have won, so I get to create a Domain here. That’s only natural.”

”But your mistake wasn’t about fighting me. You made the mistake when you chose to side with Tepid Scholar and the others.”

The Will was sure that Loki was being petty and that its motives for fighting shouldn’t matter. But it also knew that Loki was the winner, so he had the right to make any bogus demands he wanted.

So it sighed and said, ”What is it that you want me to pay as the price for this big mistake I made?”

”It is simple,” Loki said with a smile. ”I want you to remove the Supreme Metacs of every Dao Lord in this world.”

”I can’t do that. Their pathways have become entrenched in the world,” It replied with a dark face.

”Hmm,” Loki said as he looked around the super world.

He was looking for something else that he could ask for. In this search, his eyes scanned the divine constellation of the world.

When he inspected the divine constellation, he saw that there were only five pathways that belonged to the world, which was fewer than the nine that belonged to the Blessed Heaven World.

The five pathways were the Fire Pathway, Water Pathway, Earth Pathway, Wind Pathway, and the Lightning Pathway. He had all of these pathways, so he lost interest in them after seeing them.

Eventually, he said, ”Give me the divine crystals you just got. Also, swear never to remove my Domain from your world.”

The heart of the Will was bleeding, but it still said, ”You’re the Victor. I will pay the price for peace.”

Then it proceeded to give Loki the divine crystals and swore, saying, ”I swear in my Will that until I ascend to the upper realm, I will never remove the Domain belonging to Lord Ragnarok unless he asks me to.”

”I see what you did there,” Loki said with a grin. ”You left a loophole in there for yourself. You must be hoping that there would be someone strong enough to force me to ask you to remove my Domain.”

The Will was about to explain, but Loki said, Don’t worry. I’m not angry. I would like to see who you’re counting on.”

As he spoke, he sent forward a projection of his Supreme Metac. The Will didn’t say anything more and only accepted the projection from me. Then it raised the golden ball of light to the sky of the third dimension and anchored it to the divine constellation.

This change initiated the development of a new Domain in the super world. The Domain appeared in the South, finally completing the cardinal positions around the Central Domain.

While his new Domain was getting built, Loki got to work setting up his sect. As usual, he was recruiting mortals to join his sect, and he was doing so by offering a boost of 100% they advance.

So he was offering a total boost of 400% up to rank 5. This was twice as much as the Gemini people were offering. He offered this much because he wanted to gain an advantage over the Gemini people and because he could afford it.

’As long as I only allow the top 1% to advance from rank 2, I will make a profit,’ he thought with a grin.

’I can do this directly by limiting the advancement of my disciples through the Supreme Metac and making some of them fail their advancement inexplicably. No one will know that I did it anyway.’
