In order to become a divine being, he had fought long and hard, braved countless dangers, and survived between the cracks of the teeth of divine beings for more than 2,000 years. He had to reincarnate more than 60 times before he got his divine position.
So his position was hard won, and he didn’t like people belittling his achievement just because he was an usurper. However, he didn’t say anything to them about this. He only glared at them in disapproval.
As for the divine lady from the Myriad Phenomenon Sect, she is also an ancient divine being, but doesn’t think she is one of the fat and lazy divine beings who sit in their divine position simply because they were born earlier.
This is because in the Myriad Phenomenon Sect, only the most skilled in a field can become a divine being. If there is any rank 5 that is more skilled than her, they can challenge her and take her divine position if they win.
So the only reason she is still a divine being is that there is no one in her sect and field who is good enough to replace her. It wasn’t because she was born early and used her power and advantage of seniority to create a moat around her position to block the future generations.
If she were to die today, she is certain that she can take back her divine position when she returns in the future. She can just challenge whoever it is that took over the divine position while she was gone.
So she doesn’t need a divine family or ancient heritage to feel proud of herself or maintain her divine position. It is why she ignored the swordsman making fun of someone for being skilled enough to overcome the challenges created by the ancient divine beings.
The five divine beings had various thoughts going on in their minds, and some of them even chatted for a while. But a few seconds later, they became silent and closed their eyes to do other things.
With no one talking, the atmosphere was soon plunged into utter silence. Only the explosions and cries of pain from the small world could be heard.
One of such cries was the cry of a poor killing cultivator running for his dear life. One of the sources of the explosions was from the bullets striking the ground like meteors from the heavens.
Loki was chasing from behind and was shooting armor-piercing bullets at the black-robed swordsman with the rail guns on his shoulders. But he wasn’t having any success because his target was too fast.
The bullets were fast for sure, but the black-robed swordsman was also fast. He was always able to stay ahead of the bullets because of the Blood Escape Metac, so the bullets missed him and struck the ground, creating shallow wells every time they touched the ground.
So the black-robed swordsman flew through the air, killing everything he came across and using their blood to heal himself. He used the Blood Heal Metac, which is a Metac designed to help a killer continue killing by killing enemies, to heal himself.
He had to use the Blood Heal Metac to heal himself because if he didn’t do so, he would die soon. The source of his greatest problem right now is the injuries to his body. Those six cuts are constantly bleeding, so they are constantly draining him of life.
Loki is dangerous for sure. But the danger from Loki is for the future, while the danger from the bleeding cuts is something he has to deal with right now.
He knows this, and he’s trying his best to heal the cuts. Unfortunately, the best he can do right now is stop them from draining him.
He can’t heal the injuries completely because Loki is constantly expending energy to maintain them. So his quest to heal his injuries is a tug of war between him and Loki. Until Loki gives up on those bleeding injuries, he can only expend energy to keep the injuries from killing him.
Of course, this is if he can find something to kill. Without something to kill and use the Blood Heal with, he won’t be able to make up for his loss of blood. This is why he is rushing towards the nearest city.
Loki knows he can see the Blood Heal Metac activate, and he knows what it can do very well because it is another one of the Branch Metacs of the Killing Pathway that can’t work with his metallic body.
So he knows why the black-robed cultivator is trying to find a city full of people to kill, and he knows that the nearest city is the one where the rank 5 death cultivator should be conducting a massacre with his army of undead.
If he were weak, he wouldn’t mind this killing cultivator going to his death. But he is strong and doesn’t want to drive free merit points to the death cultivator, so he decided to put a stop to the plan to reach a city.
The power of the bullets from the rail guns is obvious to him. But if they can’t touch the target, the bullets are useless, and their great power will be a waste. So Loki decided to use something else.
He put his two cannon hands together and fused them into a single barrel. Then he made the single barrel thinner and longer.
As the barrel elongated before him, a frightening amount of energy began to brew within it. The energy was so high that he needed to use the force field on his armor to contain it so that the barrel wouldn’t explode and cause all of the energy to erupt in his face.
After 15 seconds of brewing the energy, he let it loose in one stream of high-energy photons with the same amplitude. This created a thin laser that moved at the speed of light and struck the black-robed swordsman in the back.
