THE GOD EATER

Chapter 1389: Gut Feeling.

"Then, do you remember me?" the eye asked as it squinted at Black Loki.

"No. I don’t even know what you are," black Loki said, shaking his head.

Each time the eye asked the clone a question, it watched his mind to see where the answer came from and scrutinized how the answer was formed. It was being cautious because of all the suspicious things going on with Loki.

From what it saw, Black Loki really didn’t know how he made the six Supreme Metacs. In fact, the clone didn’t know that he could make them. He suddenly got the inspiration to make the Supreme Metacs, and though he failed a few times, he eventually succeeded.

Black Loki also didn’t remember anything about the previous timeline. But for some reason, he always felt like he had experienced certain events before.

It was a gut feeling with no source. Just as the clone said, nothing seemed to have gone wrong so far because he listened to his gut, so he didn’t worry about it.

Finally, Black Loki didn’t know what or who he was. He had no memory of the eye and wasn’t pretending to be ignorant. He also didn’t feel any deja vu about talking to an invisible person.

After reviewing the associated memories and examining Black Loki’s train of thought, the eye had only one thing to say.

It thought, ’What a terrifying talent!’

’An origin talent with an extraordinary level of intuition. To think such a thing was possible in a Dao Lord. It is truly unexpected.’

’He says that his talent his getting smarter the more Supreme Metacs and Metacs he learns, but that might not be the entire scope of his origin talent.’

’I think he becomes smarter the more he experiences. I also believe that his talent is actually intuition, not intelligence. With his level of cultivation, it is understandable that he failed to see the full extent of what he was capable of.’

’If I am right, his experiences in this timeline and the lost ones add up to enhance his intuition. If my conjecture is correct, then the god king has bagged a true treasure,’ it thought with intense jealousy.

As it was thinking, it left Black Loki alone and continued its silent vigil over Loki’s actions and mind. It just stopped asking questions and fell silent, making it impossible for Loki to know the verdict.

’What is it thinking? Did I pass or not?’ Loki asked, agonized.

Since no one told him what to do, he could only wait to see the outcome. Despite being frustrated, he waited patiently.

He waited a full minute for any indication of the interrogation’s result. During that time, he half expected the whole world to freeze again. Then the guardian would appear to arrest him for something he did wrong.

Next, the guardian would imprison him somewhere. From there, the Gemini race would perform experiments on him day and night to get to the bottom of his peculiarities.

He had a vivid imagination, so all of the possible scenarios he considered were very clear, especially the part where they torture him to see if he will remember the pain after the timeline was reset.

The downside of his vivid imagination was that the scenarios were realistic enough to scare him. This, in turn, increased his anxiety.

Fortunately, none of his worst fears came to pass in the one minute of waiting. His anxiety didn’t reduce, though. After all, the guillotine was still above his neck and could fall at any time.

Even so, he had to move on with his life. He couldn’t wait for the guillotine to fall forever and could only try to strengthen himself so that his chances of withstanding the beheading would increase when it finally fell.

’Maybe I should lay low for a while,’ Loki considered from within the spark of power.

Black Loki was still unconcerned and blissfully unaware as he toiled away. He was making the Divine Metac for stopping time manipulation.

Knowing him and his capabilities, True Loki expected it would take Black Loki forever to build it. So even though he wanted to hide to avoid exposure, he had to help Black Loki.

He considered waiting a while longer, like a day, before pulling Black Loki’s strings. But the possibility that someone somewhere could wipe out his hard work by reversing time forced him to "inspire" Black Loki to achieve greatness.

To create a Divine Metac, he needed law fragments. Law fragments were available in the world around him, so this part wasn’t a problem.

He only needed to extract the law fragments and convert them into his pathway’s law fragments before he could use them. This would cost lifespan, making it expensive.

He could also send his disciples into the second heaven to capture spirit creatures for him. If they got spirit creatures of his pathway, he wouldn’t need to spend lifespan on extraction and conversion.

Even if they could only get spirit creatures of his pathway, he could still forcefully convert the law fragments into the ones for his pathway with his Supreme Metac. It would still cost lifespan, but he wouldn’t have to wrestle law fragments away from the world, making it another cheaper alternative.

Unfortunately, he had no divine beings as disciples. So he had no one to run these kinds of errands for him. He was also in a hurry and could not spare the lifespan, so he gave up on stealing divine beings from other Dao Lords.

’Stealing disciples is expensive anyway. I’ll need to spend a lot of lifespan creating new Divine Positions for them.’

’Besides, I’m also not ready to fight those Dao Lords yet. So recruiting divine beings is both expensive in terms of lifespan, time, effort, and power.’

The acquisition of law fragments of his pathway was only the first step. If he were making a Divine Metac for his pathway, he would simply shape the law fragments into what he wanted.
