THE GOD EATER

Chapter 426: Gesture Of Respect.

But regardless of how he had done it, the truth remains that he had caused a landmass as large as a small country to break up and had subsequently defeated a divine being. This made him feel immensely proud.

From surprise to pride, the roller-coaster of his emotions had only begun. After feeling pride, he felt bitter that the divine being had run away. Then he felt frustrated that there was no way for him to pursue.

He had marked the divine being, so he knew where the divine being was. However, he had no way to reach the divine being because the mark didn’t seem to be in the same dimension of space that he was in.

He was feeling frustrated when he noticed the two rank 5 cultivators running for their lives. They had just witnessed him beat a divine being and were now running away to bear witness to the unbelievable event and spread it across the world.

This made him say, “Crap. I’d better go.”

It is already a fact that his Divine Metac has been exposed. Now that it has been revealed that he can contend with divine beings, other divine beings will be drawn to him, and they won’t underestimate him as the golden divine being did.

In order to avoid being hunted, he decided to commit suicide and reverse time. So he immediately severed the connection between his body and his Mental World before activating the Rewind Metac.

This time, he let Fenrir reach the absolute limit of how far it could go in the River of Time. This made him appear at the moment he awakened Fenrir.

Immediately after he appeared, he felt a strong dizziness. He became so nauseous that he immediately bent over and vomited his guts out. He didn’t even have time to sit down to vomit.

Everyone around him either watched him in confusion or in fear. The ones that didn’t realize that he was not a rank 1 cultivator were confused, while those who knew what the colorful mark on his forehead meant were shaking in fear.

However, none of them knew why he was vomiting. Even the ones who knew that he was a great cultivator, not the weak reincarnation of one, only thought that this was a side effect of his awakening.

But regardless of confusion or fear, they let him evacuate his stomach in peace. They gave him all the time he needed to get his bearings, which was all 1 minute and 32 seconds.

After he was done vomiting, he straightened himself a little bit. Then he tore off his shirt to clean his mouth.

When he was done, he turned to Muni and said, “Let’s go.”

Muni immediately bowed and said fearfully, “Yes, your honor.”

He humbled himself to the limit and would have allowed Loki to walk over him if Loki asked for it. But Loki wasn’t interested in any walking. He grabbed Muni and flew away with him in the direction of the market.

On his way there, he thought to himself, saying, ’That confirms it. I should only feel dizziness and nausea when I reverse time to a point in the past when I don’t have a Mental World or Power Core.’

’Now that I’ve reached all the way to the past with my rank to cultivation, I shouldn’t vomit again when I reverse time. So there is nothing to fear anymore.’

’However, since the matter of the vomiting has been felt with, what should I do next? Should I continue to deal with that golden divine being?’

’I should be able to deal with him in the period of his weakness. But he won’t give me time and will run away.’

’Unfortunately, the distance between us is too large, and I won’t be able to catch up to him before he escapes. If only I had a partner to help me hold him back or distract him so that he can’t escape.’

As these things ran through his mind, he suddenly got an idea. The idea was so good that his eyes lit up.

Then he grinned excitedly and said to himself, ’Exactly. That’s what I should do.’

He was so excited that he rushed about trying to get things done quickly in preparation for his next fight with the golden divine being.

When he got to the market and asked for a loan, the loan sharks had to find a way to acquire 1 million energy stones for him. This was because he was a great cultivator, not some rank 3 cultivator or a rank 4 cultivator.

They wanted to lend him more as a sign of respect, but this was their absolute limit. After all, their initial goal had been to lend rank 1 initiates money, not to serve as a bank for a big-shot rank 5 cultivator.

Loki didn’t mind that they could only afford 1 million energy stones for him. He was even flattered a little bit by the gesture. But when he went to gamble the money and was told by the gambling houses that they didn’t have any money because they had lent all of their money to the loan sharks, he became displeased.

Apparently, the 1 million energy stones that he was supposed to earn through gambling were what they had gathered to lend him. Which meant the respectful gesture of the loan sharks had now made things inconvenient for him.

Since things had reached this point, he snorted and left the market with the 1 million energy stones. There was no point in getting angry at this point because anger wouldn’t do anything useful.

As he left, he said to himself, ’I guess I just won’t pay back the loan. Let’s see what they can do to me if I don’t pay back the loan.’

He doesn’t plan to let this timeline continue for more than a day, even if he is successful with his hunt, so there shouldn’t be any consequences for not paying the loan since he has a grace period of one month to start paying it.
