Chapter 1333: Origin Talent.

The guardian said jokingly, "It is best to have a goal to live for. Since freedom is beyond your reach because of the god king, you can always make it your goal to kill the god king."

Both white Loki’s eyes lit up as he thought, ’Yes, we should kill that bastard.’

’Once I kill them, we will be able to regain my freedom,’ black Loki said in agreement.

The guardian heard their thoughts and chuckled in amusement.

’You have already lost. It will do you a lot more good to accept your fate and move on.’

They were amused because Loki couldn’t hide their thoughts from him, and because no Gemini under the god king’s control could harm them.

They found his thoughts funny when it was simply impossible for him to harm the god king. Despite being determined to kill the god king now, he wouldn’t be able to go through with it when he finally reached them because the instruction not to harm them has already been hard-baked into his identity.

The instructions are so thorough that he couldn’t attack the god king himself, couldn’t help others target them, and could never betray the Gemini race. In fact, he would most definitely inform the Gemini race of any conspiracy targeting the god king rather than conspire with others to harm the god king or the Gemini race.

Plus, even if Loki could avoid all the restrictions and form thoughts to strike down the god king, with his level of strength, he couldn’t hide his thoughts from the god king, and he definitely lacked the power to harm them.

So his plan was doomed to failure right from the start. But the guardian decided not to tell him this so as not to discourage him. They decided to treat his plan like the ramblings of an ignorant child and move on.

Meanwhile, white Loki was still thinking, ’That god king couldn’t be that powerful anyway. If he was powerful, he wouldn’t need the Gemini race.’

’If we know why he needs the Gemini race, maybe we will learn his weakness and can deal with him,’ the black Loki thought in agreement.

After scheming between themselves, white Loki said nonchalantly, "Why would the god king create the Gemini race anyway?"

The guardian knew what they were up to, but he still said, "Why do Dao Lords have sects? Why do Dao Lords try to become Mountain Lords? Why do Mountain Lords try to become Domain Kings?"

"The short answer is to gain more power or use their power better. I doubt there is anyone out there expanding their race for the fun of it."

"I see," the white Loki said, understanding.

"But what power does the god king gain from the Gemini race exactly?" black Loki asked, wanting to know more.

The guardian smirked as they said, "You will have to ask the god king that when you see him."

Before Loki could ask another question, the guardian said, "Enough of that. I have work to do."

"Let’s finish this. I have some questions for you. What is your origin talent?"

"Origin talent? I’ve never heard of it," white Loki said, shaking his head.

Black Loki also asked curiously, "What is an origin talent?"

The guardian scoffed and said, "You’re so ignorant, yet you want to escape the control of the god king. What a joke."

"Anyway, the origin talent is the talent that a soul possesses regardless of their upbringing and cultivation system. It doesn’t change no matter how many reincarnations the soul has undergone."

"You can think of it as something you can do regardless of your cultivation level and without external aid. In your case, it should be how you can reverse time without having a Time Pathway Supreme Metac fused with your godhead."

"So that’s what it’s called. An origin talent, is it? white Loki said, nodding.

"What is the significance of this origin talent?" black Loki asked.

"Answer my question. What is your origin talent?" the guardian said impatiently.

After thinking, white Loki said, "How do I put it? It is so difficult to put directly into words."

Meanwhile, he was angrily thinking, ’Must I tell them everything about myself? Do they think they own every part of us?’

The guardian heard his unwilling thoughts and snorted as they said, "The god king has ordered me to find out, so explain to me how you would explain to the god king."

When Loki heard this, a switch was flipped in their mind. White Loki stopped hesitating and said immediately, "The more Supreme Metacs I master, the stronger we become."

"We also get smarter and can tweak Supreme Metacs to do my bidding the more Supreme Metacs I’ve mastered to supreme mastery," black Loki added.

Then white Loki finished by saying, "That’s how I was able to upgrade the Devouring Supreme Metac to Cosmic Dao and make it use Metacs from other pathways. I can even activate Divine Metacs of my pathway and convert Divine Metacs from other pathways into my pathway."

"I see," the guardian said, nodding in understanding.

They didn’t suspect Loki was lying because he could never deceive or betray the Gemini race. In fact, the guardian was sure that Loki didn’t notice that he was telling the truth right now.

"No wonder you’re so smart. How many Supreme Metacs have you mastered, and how powerful has it made you?"

Black Loki said, "I have mastered up to 9 Supreme Metacs. As for how strong it has made me, it is about 9 times stronger."

"But I am not sure that is the limit. The limit of the strength amplification is based on my cultivation and the amount of energy I am willing to spend," white Loki said, trying to keep the amplification vague so that he would have an explanation for why it was different in the future.

The guardian, oblivious to his trickery, asked once more, "What is the cost of this talent?"
