THE GOD EATER

She was feeling joy, yet her existence was falling apart right before her eyes. It was just too confusing for her. She was still looking at her hands, but she wasn’t looking at them in admiration anymore. There was only shock on her face.

She said with a voice saturated with confusion, “What is going on with me? Was the power too much? Or is this because of the conflict between the three pathways?”

The only answer she got was her body cracking even more.

So she turned to Loki and said, “Why are you fine? Why can you use such a power without any repercussions? What are you?”

Loki couldn’t answer her question because even he wasn’t sure about why he was so different, and he also couldn’t tell her what he knew.

As he looked at her, he said to himself, ’Maybe it is because I have Fenrir and Fenrir is of the divine rank. Or maybe that power was just too high for her to copy and reproduce.”

When he didn’t answer her question, she rushed over to him, begging as she said, “Please save me. Help me. I will do anything you want.”

As a rank 5 being, she shouldn’t be scared of death. But she is very scared right now because she could sense that the kind of death that she is about to have will not be a normal death.

She can feel her Mental World also cracking and collapsing. This is something she can tell accurately far more than she can count the fingers on her hand.

If her mental world is destroyed, she will die, and she won’t be able to reincarnate. There was also the fact that she didn’t want to lose the great feeling of copying Loki’s power. She wanted to copy more, not die, so she was very afraid and was willing to do anything not to die.

Loki was also willing to help her. He said, “Give me a natural wonder, and I will help you.”

She said, “I don’t have one. But I can give you a token to get one from my sect.”

Immediately after speaking, she plucked a multicolored coin that she had from her inner world and threw it to him. She didn’t question his request because she could tell that she was running out of time.

But even though she was quick to respond, she still ran out of time before Loki could tell her what he had prepared to tell her. Loki had caught the multicolored coin and was still looking at it in surprise when she suddenly turned to dust.

Her disappearance made him finally look up at where she used to be and say, “She died just like that?”

Then he shook his head and said, “She is very generous, though. I didn’t even get to convince her before she gave me what I asked for. I wish there were more generous people like her in the world.”

Just as he said this, the sky above his head cracked. Then the sky was torn open.

Earlier, when he was fighting the seer with all of his power. The five divine beings had sensed something.

The five of them had their eyes closed and were not paying attention to what was going on in the small world at all. They were here to maintain the rules and make sure that the other sects don’t cheat. But their job is mainly a formality because there is nothing worth cheating for in this small world.

A single divine being might interfere in the Heavenly Battlefield, but the sect has a whole world that won’t condescend to cheating to gain control of a small world when they control many such worlds and an entire domain of the Blessed Heaven World.

So what they do is just to stay here and use their presence to deter any presumptuous divine being who wants to steal this small world. They don’t plan to do anything else for the duration of the battle. But all of their plans and intentions changed when they sensed the power of space.

As divine beings who are connected to cave heavens, they are especially sensitive to changes in the dimensions of space. So all five of them opened their eyes abruptly when they sensed this change in the spatial parameters around them.

All five of them stared at the small world with an intense gaze. But then they caught themselves staring and realized that they might have tipped the others off.

If the other four didn’t sense anything, those four would surely know by now that something was out of place because of the intense staring. So they tried to calm down and look at the other four with nonchalance on their face.

But when they turned to each other, they saw the same nonchalance on each other’s faces. They also saw the signs of scheming and calculation in each other’s eyes.

When they saw these things, they realized that everyone already sensed the anomaly, and no one could be fooled. So they decided to stop pretending.

The divine being from the Myriad Phenomenon Sect sneered in disdain at the antics of others. In response, the divine being from the Four Directions Sect snorted back.

The divine being of the Martial Body Sect, the bronze giant, maintained a smile on his face. As for the divine being of the Nexus of Truth sect, he was too busy staring at the small world, while the divine being of the Sword Way Sect was calm and quiet.

After some thinking, the divine being of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect said to the others with a sweet, gentle voice, “We should keep this between us and not report it to the sect. That way, whoever gets it will surely be us.”

The other divine beings quickly said, “Good idea.”

“I agree.”

“We should do that.”

The three from the Nexus of Truth, Martial Body, and Sword Way Sect quickly spoke up in agreement with that suggestion. But not everyone was in agreement with the suggestion.
