THE GOD EATER

He was willing to take the risk involved in creating the army of divine beings because even if a divine being blabs, it wouldn’t do much harm, because no divine being knows exactly what he did to upgrade their Divine Metacs.

All they saw was him taking their Divine Metacs and returning them upgraded. There are many reasons to explain what he did, and he never revealed that the Divine Positions came directly from him, so he was sure that his secret was safe.

The surveillance of the Geminis and the guardian is also why he removed sensitive Divine Metacs from Fenrir when he wasn’t using them. One example of such a sensitive Divine Metac is the Rewind Metac.

He kept the Rewind Metac removed from the Devouring Supreme Metac most of the time and would only bring it back when he needed it. He started doing this from the moment he was forced to have a son.

He basically destroyed every sensitive Divine Metac with the Devouring Supreme Metac, so that his son wouldn’t discover them. At that time, he didn’t know that his son would copy his Metacs. Fortunately, his caution paid off, and now he doesn’t have a son with a Rewind Metac running around somewhere.

With his heart at peace, he didn’t think much about that event. Besides, he was too busy at the moment with a lot on his mind.

Aside from the constant work to increase the efficiency of the Devouring Supreme Metac, he was also working on completing the transformation of his Divine Metacs into Supreme Metacs. Then he intended to expand the Domain Power System and make it more powerful.

Because of how busy he was, the project to expand the power of the Domain Power System wasn’t high on his to-do list. It also wasn’t a priority right now.

The quest for higher conversion efficiency doesn’t require much mental effort. As long as the Hunting Form Supreme Metac is activated and running, he can spend his mind on other things.

But upgrading all his Divine Metacs into Supreme Metacs requires focus, and he has many Divine Metacs he wants to upgrade.

So the Domain Power System is currently at the back of his mind. In fact, it is so far back in his mind that he found something more important to think about regarding his pursuit of conversion efficiency.

’Efficiency is the answer to the question of how do you use the Supreme Metac simultaneously for producing power and for producing divinity without wasting too much energy?’

The Devouring Supreme Metac is always busy producing divinity for him. If it stops working or runs out of divine crystals, the godhead will die, and he will lose it forever.

Therefore, no matter what he does, he must make sure that the Devouring Supreme Metac continues to produce divinity. This is normally easy and doesn’t require his help or active input.

If left alone with enough divine crystals, the Devouring Supreme Metac and the godhead can run forever, producing divinity for him. It behaves like a perfect engine that way.

But once in a while, he has to activate the Supreme Metac or the Divine Metacs within it and use them to produce power, such as attacking someone, defending against an attack, or enhancing himself. The list of uses is endless.

When the Supreme Metac has to do something other than produce divinity, it needs to burn lifespan, which interferes with its normal operation. It will still work, but the process of producing power will hitch.

The main problem is that the Supreme Metac won’t mobilize its full volume immediately to produce power. Only a portion of the total volume will be used to produce power instantly. This portion of the Supreme Metac that can be mobilized immediately is the conversion efficiency.

The rest of the Supreme Metac will continue to activate and do the work they were assigned, but they will do that work over time, reducing the Supreme Metac’s power output.

Power is work done/time. So the longer the delay in mobilizing the Supreme Metac, the weaker the power output, even if the same amount of work is eventually done.

This begs the question: how can the entire volume of the Supreme Metac be mobilized instantly to create power while divinity is also being produced? The answer is to arrange the divinity in the Supreme Metac for instantaneous mobilization.

At least, that’s the answer he discovered so far. It is the culmination of his understanding of conversion efficiency, and other Dao Lords can have other philosophies about it.

After a period of activating the Supreme Metac to use the Hunting Form Metac, he discovered that the position and arrangement of the divinity affects the mobilization rate of the Supreme Metac.

So he postulated that if the 27 units of divinity were arranged in a certain way, he could use them to mobilize the entire volume of the Supreme Metac instantly when he needs to produce power.

He asked the Gemini younglings about this and confirmed that the position of divinity matters for conversion efficiency. However, their approach to this solution is slightly different from his.

They rely on luck and intuition to get the right answer, but he chose brute force. By running different positions each time he activates the Supreme Metac for power, he can find the answer much faster than they can.

’If only the position were one-dimensional. How easy would it be?’ he thought, groaning.

There were 27 units of divinity in the Devouring Supreme Metac. If the position he needed were along a straight line, he would only need to consider one direction for the divinity when activating the Supreme Metac.

To achieve 10% conversion efficiency, he needs to put 2.7 or 3 units out of the 27 units of divinity into the proper order. If their positions only need to synchronize in one dimension, it will be easy to synchronize the three units of divinity to flow in a straight line.
