THE GOD EATER

Chapter 1402: Thieving Bastards.

He had found some of Heavenly Eye’s stash on the four large worlds. Now that he was less busy and didn’t have more worlds to destroy, he decided to visit the stashes he remembered on other worlds.

Just as he had expected, something did happen a few minutes later. But it wasn’t in the lower realm. Black Loki encountered something strange in the upper realm.

It happened when he went to the seventh stash he remembered. It was located at the foot of a large boulder.

This boulder was definitely bigger than a super world since it was bigger than him. It was also white like the ground, so Loki suspected that it was a piece of the ground that broke away and fell here.

He searched the whole area but found nothing. He deployed the Devouring Ability and used its black force field like a broom to sweep through the foot of the boulder.

He also walked around the boulder, completing a search of its perimeter. Still, he found nothing.

’Maybe I remembered wrongly,’ he thought as he shrugged.

The fact that he even considered the possibility that his memory had problems was weird enough, and he knew it. But there was no better explanation.

He had another explanation, though. It just wasn’t good, and he didn’t like it. He’d rather make a silly mistake than admit to something worse.

After he made up his mind about what had gone wrong, he went over to the next location. He moved in a circle, slowly expanding his search radius for the stash, so the next place was much farther from where he started than this boulder.

This time, the stash was on top of a boulder. So he climbed the boulder and covered its peak with the black force field.

Unfortunately, he didn’t find anything. So he began searching the whole boulder. The boulder wasn’t big, so he finished searching it in 6 seconds.

When he still came up short, he realized something and thought, ’Maybe this one is supposed to be at the foot of the boulder.’

’How embarrassing would that be if I made such a silly mistake? But if I really made a mistake and find it, I will get a thousand celestial gold. Now I don’t know if I want to be right or wrong.’

He argued with himself internally as he searched the bottom of the boulder. Once again, he circled it to make sure.

When he didn’t find anything, he sighed in relief and thought, ’At least my memory isn’t faulty. That’s worth more than a thousand celestial gold, now that I have found nothing and have no choice but to cherish my mind.’

’But on a serious note, what’s going on here?’

He kept ruminating on the question as he made his way to the next location. His mood was heavy because the second possibility he didn’t care for was slowly being vindicated.

But before he reached the next location, his avatar brought news. It reached two stashes before coming empty at the next locations. Just like him, the avatar was finding nothing at the locations he remembered.

He was thinking about this when the thread of thought he put in Thief’s Haven reported that Heavenly Eye’s avatar had descended. The avatar was for her illusion pathway. It disappeared soon after it appeared.

The avatar didn’t disappear from the thread of thought’s surveillance because it left the super world. It simply vanished, leaving no trace behind.

After reading the report, he thought, ’To be honest, I don’t like how these Dao Lords are no longer hiding what they are capable of.’

’I liked it better when they were hiding their true nature in some hideous closet. Now that they are no longer hiding, they have more ways to create trouble for me.’

His avatar at the top of the golden mountain scanned the lower realm for any sign of Heavenly Eye’s lost avatar. White Loki was also peeping into the lower realm to join the search.

They worked seriously, but neither found the avatar. It didn’t surprise him since the power they could exert on the lower realm from the upper realm was severely limited.

Before the search, he knew that if they couldn’t find her hidden worlds and stash in the upper realm, they were unlikely to find her avatar. But he did it anyway to cover his bases.

’Now it is up to my avatar. It is the only one who can find her, but I doubt it will encounter her.’

’Maybe that’s for the best because I’m not even sure I want to encounter her. Who knows what she’s really up to?’ he thought, chuckling.

Only his avatar had enough power to see through her illusion in the lower realm. Even then, he would have to be very close to her. If she didn’t come anywhere near his Domain Body, he would see nothing.

By now, he already had an inkling about what she was doing in the lower realm. It was related to why he couldn’t find any more of her stashes. When his avatar informed him of the third empty location in a row, his suspicions were confirmed.

’It should be Wandering Thief and Heavenly Eye in the lower realm. Their true bodies must be busy in the upper realm too.’

’The ten of them are all probably busy in the upper realm taking the stash before I can reach them. No wonder they didn’t come to see my last show. They were too busy cleaning up what should clearly be mine ’

’What thieving bastards,’ he swore.

’I hope I run into one of them. If I do, I’ll peel away their existence layer by painful layer,’ he promised as he ground his teeth in anger.

After putting two and two together, he was now 90% sure that the alliance of losers was stealing his stash. They were running around the upper realm, taking what didn’t belong to them, and it rubbed him the wrong way.
