THE GOD EATER

Chapter 981: Waiting For A Miracle.

Loki was asking questions merrily and having a spirited conversation with Golden Sun like he was at a party, while Golden Sun was suffering, Black Chain was dying, and every Dao Lord was watching with bated breath to see what would happen.

Everyone was anxious about what could happen. Only Loki wasn’t anxious. After all, he had seen Black Chain become desperate just recently, so he expected the same thing to happen again this time.

Just as everyone was waiting to see what would really happen, the transparent monkey, whose head Loki was gripping forcefully and whose body Loki was ravaging with the Blade of Time Metac, finally shattered.

The monkey’s body looked like it was made of glass, but it was only now that its body began behaving like glass. Spiderweb cracks spread all over its body, expanding rapidly and deepening into the core of the monkey.

When the depths of the cracks touched each other, the monkey shattered into pieces. The pieces of glass, like paper, were burned by the invisible power of time and turned into powdered glass. Then the powdered glass was ground further until it disappeared.

The defeat of one avatar should mean that the other avatars will be near-death and will be easy to dispatch. But even now, the Dao Lords and Golden Sun weren’t sure of Black Chain’s defeat.

As someone who never gave up and was always doing everything he could to survive and win, they wouldn’t be surprised if he successfully pulled off a miracle. So they still didn’t think that the death of one avatar meant that Black Chain was doomed.

While everyone was waiting with bated breath to see what trick Black Chain would pull off, Loki pocketed the Mind Hunter Supreme Metac into his Cave Heaven. Then he wasted no time moving to the next avatar. The next one was the golden monkey.

The golden monkey was frozen like the other avatars. This was why none of the avatars had escaped up till now.

Just like the transparent monkey, Loki walked up to the golden monkey and gave it a chance to escape. He removed the power of the Time Stasis Metac and replaced it with the power of the Blade of Time while waiting expectantly to see what Black Chains would do.

As everyone was watching, the body of the golden monkey cracked. Nothing unexpected happened, and there was no accident. The golden monkey also died.

In fact, the golden monkey died faster than the transparent monkey despite being far stronger than it. At least the transparent monkey had lasted a few seconds. The golden monkey didn’t even last one second.

The Dao Lords in the sky didn’t know what to feel about this. They didn’t know if they should be disappointed that Black Chains didn’t seem to have a hidden card to play or if they should be anxious that Black Chains hadn’t played his hidden card yet.

Only Loki was having a purely great time. After all, another Supreme Metac was now within reach for him.

With the golden monkey dead, a shining golden item appeared in front of Loki. Seeing it reminded Loki of the first time he had seen the Domination Supreme Metac.

This memory came to him involuntarily. When he realized what he just remembered, he paused in thought, thinking, ’I shouldn’t have thought that.’

Then he thought, ’Forget it.’

Since the Dao Lords were going to see it anyway, he decided not to care about it. He said inwardly, ’The two Supreme Metacs are incredibly similar in appearance. Plus both of them were Grand Daos, apparently. And one came from the other. It is no wonder I feel like I have seen it before.’

The Money Supreme Metac was actually a golden coin, not a golden crown like the Domination Supreme Metac. But aside from their appearance, they seemed to be made from the same mold.

Loko thought about this and many other things as he grabbed the golden coin. A second later, the golden coin had disappeared from his hand. And to the Dao Lord who could see his thoughts and his Cave Heaven, the golden coin also disappeared from their sight.

Up in the sky, this time around, mixed in with their indecision between disappointment and anxiety, was the addition of the emotion of confusion and curiosity.

The Dao Lords were confused about where he had seen the Domination Supreme Metac. They were also curious about where he was sending the Supreme Metacs he was taking.

Sword Maestro asked worriedly, "You don’t think he is sending the Supreme Metacs to someplace where they will be used to create more rank 9 Dao Initiates, do you?"

In a rare fashion, Tepid Scholar answered his question with distracted attention, saying, "I don’t think so. Rank 8 divine beings and below can’t use a Supreme Metac. They will only be possessed by the remnant will within the Supreme Metac."

"As for rank 9 Dao Initiates, they can only have one Supreme Metac. So we should have nothing to worry about in that regard."

Martial Will also said, "If you need to worry about anything, you should worry about what Heavenly Eye is seeing that she is not telling us. After all, the fact that we don’t know and can’t see where the Supreme Metacs are going doesn’t mean she can’t."

In response, Heavenly Eye said in exasperation, "Oh come on. Will you let it go?"

Like a rigid wall, Martial Will retorted, "Never. I will never let it go."

His words took a hard stance on the matter, but his demeanor and the tone of his voice were a different thing. Martial Will looked distracted as if he was thinking about something else, so Sword Maestro thought that he was being half-hearted with his stance.

From what Sword Maestro knew about him, Martial Will should have acted on his stance and insisted on forcing Heavenly Eye to tell them what she was hiding. But Martial Will seemed to be worried about something more important.
