THE GOD EATER

Chapter 1393: This Is It.

Like the Time Harness Divine Metac, the Time Anchor Divine Metac was meant to be used on someone else, not the area around him like the Time Stasis Divine Metac, or on himself like the Rewind Metac Divine Metac.

At first, both Divine Metacs worked the same way. Once they perceived any reversal of time that would affect him, they would both reach out to find the troublemaker.

But once they found the troublemaker, they did things differently. Instead of yocking the person and using them as free labor, the Time Anchor Supreme would yock them and drag them down.

So one encouraged reversing time while the other discouraged it. In both cases, they need a partner to work.

It was best if the partner was willing, but it could still work if the partner was unwilling. It would only be more expensive.

After reviewing its function, Loki nodded inwardly and thought, ’This is it.’

’If there is one thing I would like to change, though, I would like to make it a Supreme Metac. After all, a Supreme Metac would produce more power than a Divine Metac.’

In a clash between him and another Time Lord using the Time Anchor Divine Metac, the power of both sides would determine whether he could stop the reversal of time.

Time Traveler was a good example of this. This ancient Dao Lord possessed a Supreme Metac for manipulating time. Even if his Supreme Metac was at the lowest one-star stage, with one copy and the poorest conversion rate of 1%, it could still provide him with a volume of 9^3 × 1%, or 7.29 units for his power output.

As a baseline, doing something like running without any Supreme Metac would use a volume of 1 unit for power output. So using the poorest state of a Cosmic Supreme Metac would provide as much as a 7.29 boost to his power output.

In comparison, this Rank 6 Divine Metac used at the lowest conversion rate of 1% would provide a volume of 6 × 1% or 0.06 units. Therefore, the Supreme Metac would provide an advantage of 7.29/0.06, or 121.5 times over using the Rank 6 Divine Metac.

This gap is already bad enough. He could barely bridge it with 2,109 units of divinity and an Authority of 20 units. Unfortunately, Time Traveler wasn’t that weak.

Based on his experience clashing with Time Traveler a couple of times, he was sure the Time Lord was a two-star celestial. Therefore, the Time Loop Supreme Metac in Time Traveler’s possession could have up to two copies.

Time Traveler could also potentially have up to 20% conversion efficiency. So the Time Loop Supreme Metac could provide him with a volume of 9^3 × 2 × 20%, or 291 units for his power output.

This would put the Rank 6 Time Anchor Divine Metac at a disadvantage of up to 291/0.06, or 4,860 times. It wasn’t a gap that he could bridge with 2,109 units of divinity and an Authority of 20 units.

Since Time Traveler should have a maximum of (27 × 2) × 2 or 108 units of divinity from his two two-star celestial pathways and couldn’t use any Authority to produce power, his 2,109 units of divinity and an Authority of 20 units would grant him an advantage of (2,109 × 20)/108 or 390.56 times if they clashed.

Clearly, even with a massive amount of Divinity and some Authority, he couldn’t bully every Dao Lord. He could still lose to some Dao Lords with Supreme Metacs that enhanced their power.

That’s why he couldn’t resist Martial Will’s physical might with his body or hide his stats from Heavenly Eyes the last time he fought them.

Fortunately, his situation wasn’t as bad as having a 1% conversion efficiency. After two days of hard work, he now had a 6.67% conversion rate.

So the Rank 6 Divine Metac would provide a volume of 6 × 6.67% or 0.4 units. This has narrowed the gap between him and Time Traveler from 291/0.06 to 291/0.4, or 727 times.

Unfortunately, Time Traveler’s advantage with the Time Loop Supreme Metac (727 times) was still greater than his advantage with 2,109 units of divinity and an Authority of 20 (390.58 times).

Seeing this, he thought, ’I need to increase my cultivation and Domain Power as much as possible.’

The power of Dao Lords could be represented as their Rank x Divinity x Volume x Domain Power x Authority. So if he advanced to two-star celestial, he would have more divinity and a higher conversion efficiency to use for his power output.

Advanced cultivation would also let him take on more pathways and use two Supreme Metacs to establish Domains, not just one. So advancing his cultivation was his top priority.

Actually, he didn’t have anything to worry about right now because Time Traveler wasn’t a Dao Lord yet and didn’t have any Domain Power. So Time Traveler was also using a Rank 9 Divine Metac, not a Supreme Metac with three dimensions.

Even if Time Traveler became a Dao Lord this instant, he could have at most 108 divinity, a volume of (9^3 × 2 × 20%), and a Domain Power of 8.1 billion square kilometers. Without joining a Divine Court, his maximum power output would be Rank(10) × Divinity(108) × Volume(9^3 × 2 × 20%) × 8.1 billion square kilometers, which would be 2,550,916.8 units of celestial power.

In comparison, even with a dud like a Rank 6 Divine Metac, he could still churn out Rank(10) × Divinity(2,109 + 20) × Volume(6 × 6.67%) × 40.5 billion square kilometers × Authority(20), which would be 6,901,408.98 units of celestial power.

The 2,550,916.8 units of celestial power would be Time Traveler’s maximum possible power output. It would be much lower because Time Traveler wouldn’t put all of his divinity into his Divine Spirit.
