THE GOD EATER

After getting the answers he wanted about who sponsored the creation of the new Divine Position, he disconnected from the divine constellation. Using the divine constellation costs lifespan, so he didn’t want to waste his lifespan on unimportant things.

Then he nodded and said to himself with satisfaction, ’If he were a divine being before, he wouldn’t need a divine being to help him create the Divine Position. He could have sponsored the creation of the Divine Position himself.’

’The creation of the Divine Position seemed to have been exhausting, too. It seems he has run out of lifespan and can’t block inquiries through the divine constellation anymore. This is a good thing for me.’

His findings put him in a good mood, so he smiled and said to everyone, “It seems he made the Divine Position himself. This makes things so much simpler and easier to work with. Since he already has a Divine Metac before this, he won’t mind giving up on this one to help me. We are both forgers, so it is just right that he lends me a hand in my time of need.”

When they heard what he said, many divine beings laughed meaningfully at each other. They were not surprised by his change in attitude, but some of them still wanted to make some trouble about it.

This is why Monarch Floating Furnace snickered and said, “Didn’t you say that you would exchange the new Divine Metac for an old one? How come it has come to him giving up on the new Divine Metac now?”

To which Monarch Craftsman’s said shamelessly, “He is a divine being, so I’m sure he can understand the need for compatible Divine Metacs. He must understand that I really need that new Divine Metac of his, and he will surely give it up for me when he does understand.”

His words angered Monarch Machine Body, who then asked in an angry tone, “It seems you’re being straightforward with your greed as usual. And what if he doesn’t want to give up his Divine Metac?”

His question made Monarch Craftsman’s Hammer laugh and say, “If he doesn’t recognize my need, he will have to recognize my strength. I will convince him that when an extraordinary rank 7, such as I want something from a rank 6 cultivator, it is in the best interest of the rank 6 cultivator to give me what I want.”

As a powerful rank 7 cultivator, he had his own pride and rarely entertained being questioned by weaker beings, but he answered Monarch Machine Body’s question because he wanted to use the question to tell the others about how serious he is about acquiring the new Divine Metac.

And he is very serious about acquiring this new Divine Metac. This is because the new Divine Metac is very compatible with his current set of Divine Metacs.

This compatibility is something he noticed when the world announced the creation of the new Divine Position to everyone. The world had also announced the name of the Divine Metac, so he has an inkling of what the new Divine Metac can do.

Right now, he possesses the Craftsman’s Hammer Metac and the Power Engine Metac. This new Soul Hammer Metac looks like it will be compatible with his Craftsman’s Hammer Metac.

Compatibility between Divine Metacs is an important matter to every divine being. This is because compatibility will determine if the power of Divine Metacs can be combined to create a greater power.

As the understanding of divine beings about their pathway increases, they will learn more and more about what Divine Metacs. They will know that compatibility is based on the stats that the Divine Metacs works with and the specific power of the Divine Metacs.

But even the most ignorant Divine Being who doesn’t know all of these should know that the Soul Hammer should be compatible with the original Divine Metac that it was created from. Knowledgeable divine beings know that the compatibility between the Craftsman’s Hammer and the Soul Hammer is perfect.

As for the specifics, it is the Craftsman’s Hammer Divine Metac that raises the Body Stat, while the Soul Hammer uses the Soul Stat. This will make it difficult for the two of them to work together, but if he can make them work together, they will make up for each other’s weaknesses and enhance each other’s strengths.

Secondly, both of them are hammers that have powers that are aligned with being used for offensive attacks. This will make the two Divine Metacs easier to combine and work together.

He already has the Power Engine Metac, which uses the power of his Mind Stat. It is because he was able to combine this Power Engine Metac with the Craftsman’s Hammer Metac that he is a formidable rank 7 cultivator.

With his level of power, if he had wanted to get a third Divine Metac from a rank 6 forger, he could have done so. But he didn’t do so because the Divine Metacs that were available were going to be redundant.

For example, the Floating Furnace Metac works with the Mind Stat, and the Machine Body Metac works with the Body Stat. He already has Divine Metacs for these two stats, so another one wouldn’t raise his strength much, but it will consume an extra 1,000 years of lifespan every ten years of life-leech.

For sure, Machine Body Metac will be easy to use together with the Craftsman’s Hammer because they both use the Body Stat. But combining them will only double his power. He didn’t think that this improvement in power was worth the extra 1,000 years of lifespan for life-leech.

The Soul Hammer, on the other hand, can help raise his strength by at least 200% because it will be able to help him make use of his Soul Stat for power output, not 100% like the Machine Body Metac. He believes that this enhancement of his power is worth it, so he made up his mind to have the Soul Hammer at a cost.
