THE GOD EATER

Chapter 1335: The Prototype Goal.

The guardian also said, "The clearest benefit from stealing the identities of normal Dao Lords was that the god king didn’t have to use too much of their power to create an offspring born at the Dao Lord level. So the method of reproduction became less expensive."

"The other benefit of using Dao Lords as breeding stock is that their origin talent would most likely be good since it can help them reach this cultivation level. This has made every Gemini more talented and more useful to the god king."

"So yes, the Gemini race does steal origin talent, but it is not for what you thought. It is just for producing better-talented offspring."

"I see. In my case, I represent the epitome of usefulness for a Gemini," black Loki said, sighing in defeat.

"To think this is how we will end. How lamentable," white Loki added.

Hearing this, the guardian smirked as they thought, ’That’s it. Accept your fate. That’s the only way out. The sooner you serve your purpose, the better it will be for everyone.’

They noticed that Loki had gone from raging anger to slowly accepting defeat. It was bound to happen, but they felt proud to have sped it up.

In the interest of the Gemini race, they said sympathetically, "That’s just how life is. Talent only means having potential. It doesn’t equate to strength."

"If you have talent but no strength, then you can only be forced to use your talent to help the strong become stronger. It is the fate of the weak."

"At least, you still have your origin talent no matter what happens. If you die, you get to start again somewhere in the universe. Maybe you will be lucky in your next life and be able to grow into someone strong enough to fight and kill the god king."

"The chances of that happening are slim, but it is still possible. At least, it is something you can never achieve in this life. So the sooner you give the god king what he wants and die, the better it will be for you."

"What does the god king even want with the Devouring Supreme Metac?" white Loki asked, confused.

"We can give up the Devouring Supreme Metac now without delay. We only ask for death," black Loki said earnestly.

The guardian, shaking their head, said, "What you have is not a Supreme Metac. It is a nascent three-dimensional Metac. It is, at best, proof of concept."

"It still has a long way to go to become a prototype. After that, it has to become a stable product that anyone can use, repair, and upgrade without your input."

To prevent Loki from getting discouraged, they said, "You don’t need to do much. The god king only wants a prototype from you. To get that prototype ready, you need to advance by two more cultivation stages and reach the peak of the Dao Emperor stage."

"When you advance to the next cultivation stage, which is the Dao King stage, you will unlock the Supreme Metacs and gain the ability to fuse Supreme Metacs of the same kind together to form one with a bigger size."

"Take your Devouring Supreme Metac, for instance, by the time you reach the limit of your potential for the Dao Lord stage, you will have ten copies of it in your godhead. What you need to do next is fuse those ten into one.

"I won’t go into much detail about how it works, but I’ll give you an example to paint a picture of the final product. The Devouring Supreme Metac is currently limited to 9,9,9(x,y,z). But if you fuse two of them, you’ll get a Supreme Metac with the dimensions of 18,18,18.

"Two Supreme Metacs with the dimensions of 9,9,9(x,y,z) will produce (27×2)54 units of divinity and a combined volume of (9^3 × 2)1,458. On the other hand, one Supreme Metac with the dimensions of 18,18,18 will still produce 54 units of divinity, but it will have a volume of 18^3, which is 5,832."

"That’s an increase in volume of 4 times. Since volume also affects power, then you’ve increased power output by four times with that single fusion."

"Now imagine doing this for ten copies. You will go from having a volume of (9^3 × 10)7,290 to a volume of (90^3)729,000. That’s an increase of a hundred times."

"Wow, that’s huge," white Loki said.

"It is," the guardian said, nodding. "Unfortunately, it is not enough to produce a prototype."

"You still have to do this for all of your godheads. Then you pick the Devouring Supreme Metac, use it as the base, and sacrifice other godheads to it one by one until there is only one godhead left."

"By doing that, you will raise the level of the Devouring Supreme Metac once more. If you fuse nine Cosmic Dao with it, all at 90,90,90(x,y,z), you will get a final product with dimensions of 900,900,900(x,y,z) and a volume of 729,000,000."

"That’s a thousand-fold increase. It also marks the peak of the Dao Emperor stage, which is your goal."

"Must I fuse all ten copies of the Devouring Supreme Metac and all ten godheads?" black Loki asked, worried about the difficulty.

"Not to be the bearer of bad news, but you must," the guardian said, confirming his worst fears.

"The more godheads you fuse into the Devouring Supreme Metac, the higher the potential, and it will allow the Supreme Metac to expand. As a devoted member of the Gemini race, it is your duty to do your utmost best for the god king and ensure that you provide the best possible product."

"Of course, achieving your goal will be very difficult. The worst part is that probably no one else can manage it but you."
