THE GOD EATER

Chapter 1395: 9 Out Of 10.

If Time Traveler hadn’t affected him directly, he couldn’t have done anything about it. And while the requirement for direct impact had somewhat lessened with the Time Anchor Divine Metac, it still existed.

Now he didn’t need to be directly affected in the present. He only had to be directly affected by things Time Traveler would do in the past before the Time Anchor Divine Metac would work. But whether in the past or present, any changes to him caused by reversing time would set the Time Anchor Divine Metac in motion.

This slight inconvenience was on top of the fact that he had to keep the Time Anchor Divine Metac activated at all times, because it wouldn’t automatically work even with the right circumstances.

He could manage keeping it active all the time, so it wasn’t a problem for him. But the requirement of direct interference was somewhat tricky and confused him when he thought about it.

On the surface, it looked like the Time Anchor Divine Metac would stop Time Traveler from going into the past. But as Loki understood its mode of operation, it felt like Time Traveler had already gone into the past and did something to change his situation, so the Time Anchor Divine Metac dragged him back and erased the changes he made.

Either way, if the Time Anchor Divine Metac failed to stop the target, he would never know about it. He would lose all his memories of the previous timeline because he failed and wouldn’t remember ever trying to stop Time Traveler.

This time, this weakness was limited to his mentally handicapped clones. His true mind within the 4-D prototype would definitely remember. As for whether Time Traveler would gain memories of a timeline he failed to create, Loki didn’t know.

After thinking about it and being unable to determine which was the true mode of operation, he shrugged and thought, ’No rush. I’ll see how it really works when I use it.’

’I should put it on the agenda to create a Divine Metac to remember events of lost timelines. That way, my stupid clones wouldn’t be so stupid, and I will have a clearer explanation for some of the things I do with my memories of lost timelines.’

’In the meantime, it is time to see if I can make Supreme Metacs in the spark of power. I already have the right materials for the experiment,’ he thought, grinning.

But before he could start, he heard the sound of the barrier between realms being breached. It was a light sound akin to the sound of a butterfly flapping its wings. It was so faint, he could have missed it.

’Someone’s interfering with the lower realm. Who is it?’ he wondered.

Then he chuckled as he said, ’9 out of 10, this is related to their alliance. Maybe they want to put on another show for me.’

Just then, the thread of thought within the divine constellation of Thief’s Haven notified him that someone had torn a rift above Thief’s Haven. Hearing this, his confidence in his guess grew stronger.

Eager to see what was happening in Thief’s Haven, he looked down at the layer beneath his feet. From his position, he could see every world at a glance, so he quickly spotted Thief’s Haven.

Thief’s Haven was now the biggest super world, so it was easy to find. He picked a spot close to it and pushed his Divine Spirit towards the position he picked.

His Divine Spirit sank beneath his feet and kept falling until it hit a barrier. The barrier blocked his way, but with an exertion of force, he pushed through.

His Divine Spirit managed to pass through the barrier, but it was weakened in the process. But this success was enough to form a channel between his Divine Perception and the lower realm.

In the lower realm, another rift appeared some distance away from Thief’s Haven. A colorful pair of eyes appeared in this rift.

The eyes weren’t organs like the eyes of mortals. They were more like the manifestation of the channel he created with his Divine Spirit. As mortals say, the eyes were windows to his soul.

His eyes scanned the world as his Divine Spirit swept through the lower realm. In the distance, he saw the projection of a Supreme Metac fall from the first rift into Thief’s Haven.

As his Divine Spirit swept across the projection, he saw that it was a Grand Dao. It was also a Grand Dao he recognized. He recognized it because he owned an identical one.

’The Illusion Supreme Metac? Only two Dao Lords in their alliance possess it. Which of them owns this one?’

His question was answered when the projection was accepted and anchored to the divine constellation. The newcomer was anchored close to the projections of the Space Supreme Metac and the Thief Supreme Metac.

’I see. So it is Wandering Thief. What is he up to, though?’

His guess was confirmed when Wandering Thief’s Domain began to grow. This eliminated the possibility that the Illusion Supreme Metac belonged to someone else like Heavenly Eye, and that this wasn’t all a trick to fool him for whatever reason.

’He has decided to expose his hidden pathway. What forced him to do this? Could it be me?’

’It could be because I exposed his secret of the Freedom Supreme Metac and was examined by one of his allies to confirm the suspicion, thereby exposing the Illusion Supreme Metac in the process. Since it was already exposed, he decided to make use of it to strengthen himself.’

’It could also be that none of that happened, and Wandering Thief is only doing this to maximize his power. Either way, this must be related to me. I might not be the cause, but I’m sure it will affect me,’ he thought solemnly.

Then he chuckled as he thought, ’It would be nice to hear what Heavenly Eye thinks of this, though. I’m sure she will be mad to see someone else with the Illusion Pathway.’
