THE GOD EATER

Chapter 918: Sword Spirit.

He was a little bit baffled as he thought, ’If I can reach 10,000 million square kilometers while sneaking around, they should be able to achieve this level with their power. Or is something stopping them from achieving it?’

As he was thinking, he didn’t forget that he was in a fight. So he was also making preparations for battle.

The first preparation had already been laid down. With his external body set up, he didn’t need to do much. Anyone who stepped into the range of his external body would be attacked indiscriminately from every direction.

Right now, there is a black sphere centered around him. The edge of the sphere is 2,743 kilometers away from him. The ten enemies that came for him are standing outside of it.

None of the ten looked intimidated by the black sphere. They were approaching him without fear of being devoured.

This fearlessness that they were showing made him decide to ramp up his preparations. The second thing he did was to mark them.

As soon as he marked them, they noticed the mark and began to erode it. They used the instructions in their Supreme Metacs to destroy the instructions in the tracking mark.

The process of eroding the marks was slow, though. They would definitely succeed if he didn’t do anything to stop them. So the success of the process was up to him.

For now, he was using only the power of Fenrir to support the tracking marks. But if he were to add the volume of the other Supreme Metacs to support the tracking marks, the instructions in the marks would become more complex and much stronger, which would make them more difficult to remove.

However, instead of making the mark stronger, he actually made it weaker. This way, it became easy for them to erode and remove it.

The third preparation he made was to create manifestations of Fenrir. He created nine of them, which put his side at ten combatants.

This made him nod in satisfaction and say, ’At least, I’m no longer outnumbered. Now we wait for them to come.’

He stood at the center of the black sphere, waiting for them to gang up on him. According to his estimates, the fight would start in at most two seconds. But as it turned out, he was wrong about this.

He waited for two seconds, but none of them managed to reach him. Then he waited three seconds more. But the fight still didn’t start.

The ten of them didn’t reach him, and the fight didn’t start because the ten of them stopped moving closer to him. To be specific, they stopped approaching him when he marked them.

As for why they stopped, they didn’t say so. At least, they didn’t say anything to him. They just stopped and glared at him.

When he realized that they had no intention of approaching him, he sneered and said, "What is this about? Do you only intend to stare me to death? Or is this just a staring contest and I misjudged your intentions earlier?"

In response, the black monkey sneered and said, "For someone who is about to die, you sure seem eager."

The young man with changing and flowing numbers for eyes said to him, "What are you?"

Loki smiled as he replied, "Your worst nightmare."

Since they didn’t want to come to him, he decided to go to them. The next decision he had to make was who to pick and fight.

While he was trying to decide which of the ten to fight, the white eagle sent a secret message to him, saying, "Fight one of the five monkeys. Pick anyone, and we will help you."

The scholarly young man also sent a message saying, "Fight Black Chains. I promise to help you."

Even the unruly giant sent a message saying, "Let’s fight that damned monkey together."

Then the red young man said secretly to him, "I advise you to fight the Dao Lord of the Four Directions Sect. He is your greatest threat. Only by killing him can you ensure your survival."

He thought this was everything, but then he got a message from the same black monkey that just threatened him.

The monkey said, "Help me fight and kill The Scholar, and I might spare you."

After he heard their messages, he rolled his eyes and said to himself, ’It is just typical.’

From these messages, he deduced that the Dao Lords were not of one accord. This didn’t come as a surprise to him.

It also didn’t surprise him that the other Dao Lords were ganging up on the Dao Lord of the Four Directions Sect. After all, this was exactly the same thing that always happened in the Heavenly Battlefield.

As for whose side to take, he thought, ’I don’t know who to believe. All I can determine with certainty is that both sides want to use me. As for what they will do with me once they are done using me, that’s up to fate.’

’But it doesn’t matter. I should pick the option that will maximize my benefits. Right now, there is just one option like that.’

After making up his mind, he turned and dashed out of the pit he had dug. But the pit didn’t leave him. Instead, the pit extended along with him as his external body carved the world.

The direction he rushed to was the one with the red man. This man was the sword spirit and the Dao Lord of the Sword Way Sect.

He picked this person to kill for one reason and only one reason. That reason was that this person was the weakest among the ten of them.

The sword spirit had one of the smallest Cave Heavens and definitely had the shortest lifespan. That meant he would be easier to kill compared to the others.
