The small world he picked to attack first was the biggest one out of the four. It was 15 million square kilometers in size, which is at least 30% bigger than the rest.
This was the same small world that the Thorn House of Commerce had gorged out a third of it. So it used to be 10 million square kilometers in the previous timelines because of what the Thorn House of Commerce did to it.
As for the number of living things on the small world, they were also more abundant. This was because the Thorn House of Commerce hadn’t had time to clear the living things in the small world.
So not only did he gain an extra small world with a lot of living things on it, but he would also gain four more small worlds that are at least 10 million square kilometers. This put a smile on his face as he returned to the Blessed Heaven World.
On the way back, he said to himself, ’Not bad at all. This is just the start. As I get stronger and stronger, I will force them to cough up more and more goodies.’
’Now that I am done preparing, it is time to return to Blessed Heaven and do some things. That medium world is one of my main goals for this timeline, but I shouldn’t forget to do other things to prepare.’
The medium world that will be captured soon and used as a Heavenly Battlefield in a couple of months is the main goal for this timeline, but he didn’t go for the medium world straightaway. Instead, he went to other small worlds to strengthen himself first.
He still has other things to do to increase his strength, though. The first one is to bait Gold Body and replace him as Monarch Gold Body.
So as soon as he returned to the Blessed Heaven World, he killed Gold Body and took the Divine Position of Gold Body for himself. Then he immediately ran away from Blessed Heaven like a thief.
His unsightly escape made some divine beings view him as prey. There were six of them, and they were all money cultivators.
Forced Exchange wasn’t among the six of them. This was because his alliance had just signed a contract not to attack Loki for a year.
Loki thought that it was a shame that Forced Exchange couldn’t make it since it meant he wouldn’t be able to get the 500 divine merit points from Forced Exchange. But he couldn’t complain much about Forced Exchange’s absence because of him.
There was also the fact that his main goal for this timeline wasn’t using divine merit points to advance to rank 7. Plus, Forced Exchange’s absence allowed more people to join the pursuit. So Loki was grateful for his absence.
Because Forced Exchange hadn’t appeared to lay claim to Loki, three more money cultivators felt that they could involve themselves in this hunt. So there were three more hunters other than Life’s Worth, Money Construct, and Wealth Status.
All six money cultivators died, and Loki raided their Cave Heaven. This took him more than a month to complete. Then he returned to Blessed Heaven and used the Divine Metacs of the six of them to take their Divine Positions.
He literally called down six Divine Positions into his Cave Heaven, but no one bothered him. The reaction of divine beings was the complete opposite of what had happened when he tried to take the Divine Position of the Golden Lion Strength Metac.
This situation was mostly because the people who should have bothered him had either signed a contract not to attack him for one year or had died recently, or were too afraid to make a move against him because six divine beings had died recently when they went to hunt him.
This made him chuckle and way inwardly, ’It seems my plan to gain a legitimate reason to possess great power will happen without a hitch. It is abnormal that I possess seven Divine Positions, but it is normal that I am strong with seven divine positions.’
’With seven Divine Positions, no one should bat an eye that I’m strong. And any discrepancy in my strength can be explained by being a part of an alliance with a large Cave Heaven.’
’At least, I won’t need to use the Divine Metacs of different pathways to mobilize the power of my body, soul, will, and mind. I have all the Divine Positions I need to do so, among these seven money Divine Metacs.’
Even though no one made a move against him, many divine beings were talking about what he was doing. Most of what they were saying was directed at the Thorn of House, though.
They were asking the people of the Thorn House of Commerce why they were not going to do anything about someone who was taking so many Divine Positions. But the divine beings of the Thorn House of Commerce were completely silent about the matter.
In fact, when Money Body heard about what Loki was doing, he said to his subordinates, "Don’t look and don’t say anything. In fact, leave the Blessed Heaven World immediately. Run away as fast as you can. Run as if your lives depend on it."
Forced Exchange and the others didn’t know why Money Body was behaving like this, but they took his warning seriously and ran for their dear life. They even activated their Divine Metacs to run faster. They truly behaved as if someone was going to kill them.
After creating some distance from the Blessed Heaven World, one of the rank 7 divine beings asked, saying, "Sir, why are we running? What is the danger?"
Money Body sighed and said, "Ideally, there should be no danger to ourselves. But I am not willing to take any chances. As they say, prevention is better than a cure. In this case, prevention is of the utmost importance since there is no cure for what might go wrong."
