Because of the Space Freeze Metac, Loki became unable to move after this Divine Metac was used, so he could only watch as Slav came up to him and stabbed his hand into his dace.
He couldn’t move, but he could still feel pain. The pain was so great that he instantly blacked out. Then he was dead.
As Fenrir took him into the River of Time, he said to himself, "I knew there was something off with him. I knew that there was something wrong with him, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad."
"Not only does he have three Divine Metacs, but he also has infinite energy to use them. Are all reincarnations of divine beings like that? Or is Slav special?"
As he tried to figure out the answer to that question, he remembered something that made him say, "Come to think of it, he doesn’t actually have five Divine Metacs. He should have six Divine Metacs if I count the Rewind Metac and the Danger Sense Metac."
This made him shake his head and say, "If Divine Metacs are as rare as everyone claims them to be, then Slav can’t be a normal divine being. He has to be very special."
"No wonder they failed to catch him in the last few timelines. And no wonder a large hand tried to kill me when I used the Danger Sense Metac. He is definitely abnormal."
He was excited when he learned that Slav was in possession of two Divine Metacs, but now that he knows that Slav has at least 3 Divine Metacs, of which one of them could be used to make him helpless like a duck, he has stopped being excited and has become solemn instead.
When he remembered the last fight, he shook his head and said, "I can’t take him in my current situation. Maybe if I had powerful mental attacks, I might be able to kill him. As long as he can freeze my movements, I will be helpless against him."
He still wants to get those Divine Metacs, but he couldn’t come up with a way to kill Slav. This made him subdue his greed and hunger for Slav, so when he awakened in the physical world, he didn’t go looking for trouble with Slav.
He only placed a tracking mark on Slav. He didn’t do anything beyond that and watched as Slav left.
Then he went about doing the normal things that he usually does. He went to the market to get a loan of 100 thousand energy stones and increase it to 1 million energy stones.
He also paid off the loan of 100 thousand energy stones. Next, he went to sign up as a member of the sect with Muni’s help.
The only thing that he did differently this time was to stab Muni through the head with a spear formed right out of his fist. He caught Muni by surprise, so the man had no chance to react before a black shaft of metal impaled his head.
Muni died, and he received a notification for the debt. The debt was 100,000 energy stones because Muni was valued at 50,000 energy stones and was on a grade 2 mission for the sect.
Loki didn’t mind the loss of money at all. He withdrew the spear shaft and shook the blood away from it as he said, "That will make sure that he won’t blab anymore."
He thought about selling Muni’s corpse to earn some money, but he decided not to do it since he had a lot to do in a short amount of time.
Killing Muni won’t be the only different thing he plans to do in this timeline. There are several other things he plans to do, which will take much more time than simply killing someone, so he is short on time.
He left Muni’s corpse where it was on the sect grounds. Then he went to the central market at the center of the city.
On his way there, he thought about his plans. He had numerous plans, most of which were centered around avoiding Skarg and his effigy curse.
Of his two most important plans, killing Muni is the first step of his passive defense plan. This plan is centered on how to make Skarg unable to find him and unable to use the curse effigy on him.
The passive plan is the most complicated one, while the active defense plan is the easiest plan. He thought long and hard about it as he paid off his awakening debt and registered for the sect army.
As usual, he was assigned to Earthly Battlefield E6-137. But this time, he didn’t mind it. He even had a smile of anticipation on his face. He was looking forward to seeing Greg again.
In no time, he reached the central market. His first destination was the gambling houses. He didn’t stop at one gambling house. He fleeced many of them in a row until the 800,000 energy stones in his possession were increased to 40 million energy stones.
He can earn more, but he stopped because he didn’t want to offend too many powerful people this early. After all, he is pretty weak for a rank 3 cultivator.
After he earned 40 million energy stones, he went to the information broker. This time, he walked in there with confidence and the intention to splurge.
He sat in the usual booth and said, "Do you know how to increase one’s talent beyond 90 points?"
The androgynous voice replied, saying, "Yes, we do. This information will cost you 10 thousand energy stones."
Loki was taken aback when he heard this price. His voice was tinged with surprise as he said, "So cheap? How come?"
The attendant said, "I’m glad that you find that price to be low, honored customer. We are as disappointed as you are, as we too would like to ask for more money for the information."
