THE GOD EATER

The speed of the small floating eyeballs seemed to rise as he became more agitated. By the time he was done talking, he was so agitated that the floating eyeballs had broken the sound barrier many times. With their momentum, they could punch a hole through a small world.

Most people know him, and if those people were to see him like this, they would be able to recognize his identity immediately. This is because his floating eyeballs and his empty face, where his eyes should be, are iconic.

The lady with the bright white eyes said, "I can confirm that the world was destroyed by someone. It didn’t disappear."

The blind man immediately became agitated when he heard this. His voice was raised as he said, "I knew it."

Then Monarch Eye Tracker said, "It is the same person."

Monarch Star Divination, the lady with starlight shining in her eyes, nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed. They were likely taken by the same person."

Monarch Many Eyes became angry this time around. He gritted his teeth in anger and said, "Find him for me. Find him so that I can kill him."

"I don’t spend so much time and energy on finding worlds only for someone else to steal them. They have to pay one way or another."

He spoke as if he wanted to get his hands on the person responsible for his missing worlds as soon as possible. He was clearly craving bloodshed. But not everyone shared his enthusiasm for this.

Monarch Star Divination hesitated slightly before saying, "This might be one misunderstanding. I don’t think they stole from you because there was no way they could have known that these small worlds belonged to you."

"Just as you found some small worlds out in the void, they also found the small worlds. There was nothing to tell them to stop, just like there was nothing to tell you not to lay ownership to the worlds. So I don’t think we should rush into battle."

But Monarch Many Eyes refused to back down. He roared as he said, "I don’t care why they took my worlds. All I want is for them to pay."

As for Eye Tracker, he shrugged and said, "Don’t care. But I’ll find."

So Monarch Many Eyes rolled his eyes and said, "Don’t worry. I don’t need you to fight them for me. Just find them. I’ll deal with the rest."

Monarch Star Divination sighed before saying, "It seems you’re hell-bent on the path of violence. I have a feeling that this won’t end well for you."

Her words made him frown and say, "What do you mean?"

The frown on his face was pretty comical without eyes on his face to participate in it. Anyone else might find his facial expression funny, but she didn’t dare to laugh right now.

She replied with a serious tone, saying, "Imagine this. A random divine being goes looking in the Sea of Worlds for worlds to plunder."

"This person, whoever they are, has the entire Sea of Worlds to search through for worlds, but somehow, they managed to find not one or two of your small worlds, but five of them. I don’t believe this could be achieved by coincidence."

"I believe that this was caused by either the fact that the number of small worlds in the Sea of Worlds has fallen and small worlds are about to disappear, which is why they were forced to find your five small worlds, or that they knew where your five small worlds were."

"If it is the latter, then they must know you. If they knew you and still went ahead with this, it means that they are not afraid of you."

"They might have done this to target you specifically. Or it could be because someone close to you who knew the locations of the five small worlds leaked it."

"Either way, the fact remains that this person has just looted the world essence of five small worlds. With this kind of resources on hand, they will have a lot of lifespan to spare, and they will be very difficult to kill. So even if you find them, fight them, and win, you will pay a high price to kill them."

Her voice became grave as she said, "By my calculations, if the perpetrator keeps the world essence for themselves, you will need to spend the world essence of two to three small worlds to kill them. And this is in case you’re stronger than them."

"If you’re not stronger than them, it goes without saying that you will have to spend more than the world essence of three small worlds. Even the world essence of five small worlds might not be enough if you’re not stronger than them, and you might even die."

Then she asked, saying, "So think about this. Is it really worth it to go to war with this person?"

Her reasoning was solid, so Monarch Many Eyes couldn’t say anything to refute her. But he refused to accept her conclusions, and he had his reason for it.

His reason made him determined as he shook his head and said, "I can’t give up. I have reached my limit in terms of tolerance, so I can’t give up anymore."

He explained, saying, "I also know how absurd it is that some random divine being found five of my worlds by chance. I, too, don’t think it was a coincidence. But this is all the more reason for me to figure out how they did it."

"I want to know how they got the information, so that I can put a stop to their methods or find the source of the leak. I can’t just do nothing and return to my life knowing that there might be someone out there who can find my worlds and take them from me."

When she looked like she wanted to say more to convince him, he said, "Don’t try to convince me anymore. It is too late for that."
