So the smaller the difference in power, the smaller the injury, and the bigger the difference in power, the bigger the injury will be.
Once the law’s impact has been removed, life energy will be able to regenerate the lost flesh. Since life energy is free for divine beings, there is no cost for regenerating the lost flesh, regardless of the size of the injury.
This is how injuries should work between two divine beings, but the Market Conditions Metac has changed the rules in Money Body’s favor by making five main changes.
The first change is that the difference between the power of the dragon king and the Money Body will only lead to the creation of 50% of the normal level of injury.
The second change is that the law’s impact on attacks will be directly proportional to the level of injury. So the smaller the injury, the smaller the law’s impact. This can reduce the law’s impact from 100% of its normal power to just 10%.
Since Money Body had reduced the level of injury by 50%, the law’s impact will also be further reduced. So the law’s impact can be further reduced to 5%.
This will make it very easy for Money Body to heal his injuries. After all, in some cases, he would only need to spend 5% of the 560 years of his lifespan to heal his injuries, which is just 28 years of his lifespan.
But Money Body didn’t stop there. He also made a third rule that reduces the amount of lifespan that he needs to spend to heal his injuries by 50%. So he might only need to pay 14 years of his lifespan out of the original 560 years to heal his injuries.
Then he made a fourth rule that reduces the cost of activating his Divine Metacs by 50%. Finally, he increased the cost of the dragon king activating his Divine Metacs by 100%.
The fourth rule made Money Body spend less lifespan in attacking while the fifth rule made the dragon king spend more lifespan in attacking. So he only needed to spend 14 years of his lifespan to heal his injuries, while the dragon king needed to spend 112 years of his lifespan to make the attack.
All of these rules cost Money Body a lot of divine merit points to set up. But he didn’t care about the cost at this moment. All he cared about was winning and winning as quickly as possible.
Because of all five rules, Money Body didn’t need to be stronger than the dragon king to be victorious. As long as he has a lot of lifespan to spare, he will be able to take a lot of beatings while wearing the dragon king down.
Unfortunately for the dragon king, this was just the effect of one Divine Metac from Money Body. There was also the Money Body Metac and its insidious effect on the people who injure the Monarch Money Body.
The two of them fought for one hour and 9 minutes, with neither of them giving ground. However, after 69 minutes of fighting, one of the parties involved in the fight had become weary and was rethinking their chances of victory.
The weary party was the will of the world. It had become doubtful of their chances of victory because it had lost too much lifespan. There was also the fact that there were three other invaders in the crystal shield who were lying in ambush.
The will of the world feared that the three hidden enemies would ambush the dragon king, and it wanted to use the inhabitants of the world to wear the invaders down, so the will of the world ordered the dragon king to retreat for now.
The dragon king thought that it was a reasonable strategy to let the population of the world attack and separate the invaders so that it could invest all of its effort in killing them one by one. So it obeyed the order to retreat.
Money Body was weaker, so he couldn’t stop the dragon from slinking away. He could only watch the dragon king fly down and sink into the sea. However, he had a smile on his face as he watched.
He didn’t seem to mind that his enemy was running away after he spent so many divine merit points to use the Market Conditions Metac and the Money Body Metac.
As he watched the dragon king leave, he thought to himself, ’This can work. As long as I stand my ground and the others do their job, victory is assured.’
After making sure that the dragon king hadn’t returned to call for reinforcement and was truly gone, he sent a message to his mission partners, saying, "The situation is clear. You can come out now."
The three of them finally came out of the crystal shield. Then they followed Money Body to find an island to set up the outpost core.
Money Body’s range of perception was large enough to cover the whole world, so he had already seen a suitable island. This way, they didn’t have to waste time looking for one.
On their way to the island, Loki also looked around Oceania. What he saw made him chuckle inwardly, thinking, ’So there are truly seven dragons. It seems there is no end to the lies that Money Body told us.’
When he first came to Oceania with Money Body, the money cultivator had told them that there were six dragons. But from what he could tell, there were actually seven dragons.
The exposure of this lie made Loki more determined to go with his plan. So he thought to himself, ’No matter what he says, I won’t leave his side for anything. I won’t let him trick me into doing anything like last time. If there is going to be one person who will keep the whole reward for themselves while everyone else dies, it will be me.’
