The poor defenseless dragon had to take his punches as they came until it had reached its limit. Then its body would collapse, and it would die.
In this case, the limit of the dragon can only be decided by the will of Oceania, not the dragon. As long as Oceania can support the dragon, he won’t be able to kill the dragon.
As a large world, Oceania should have between 1,000,000 years of lifespan and 10,000,000 years of lifespan. The will of Oceania actually has 7,014,825 years of lifespan. But the will of Oceania can’t spend all of these on a dragon that isn’t the dragon king.
Of course, the will of Oceania didn’t want him to kill this dragon because the death of this dragon, no matter how weak and useless it is, would lead to the weakening of the dragon king. So, the will of Oceania was willing to spend 33% of its total reserves on keeping this dragon alive.
But even with 2,314,893 years of lifespan at the ready to sustain the dragon, it wouldn’t be enough to save the dragon. 2,314,893 years of lifespan only meant that the dragon could withstand 5,359 punches from Loki.
Even if he were punching the dragon and inflicting damage to it at a leisurely rate of 1,000 punches per second, which he was doing leisurely, the dragon would only be able to ensure 5.359 seconds from him.
Unfortunately for Oceania, this amount of time was not nearly enough to change the situation in a favorable way for the dragons. The dragon king was overwhelmingly powerful and was beating Money Body about like a punching bag, but 5.359 seconds isn’t enough for the dragon king to kill Money Body.
The only thing that 5,359 seconds was enough to change was for Loki to catch up to the next dragon. So as soon as he killed the weak dragon in his hand, he was able to grab the next dragon and begin another round of beatings.
After he killed the first dragon, he took the dragon’s heart that fell out of its corpse and stored it in his Cave Heaven. He didn’t have any interest in eating it, but it contained a Symbol of Authority that he could extract a Divine Metac from.
And if all else failed, he could always sell the dragon heart to other divine beings. So he refused to let the will of Oceania take the dragon heart away. Especially since the will of Oceania could use the dragon heart to upgrade another world guardian into a dragon king.
After doing this, he thought to himself, ’It took nearly six seconds, 5,359 punches, and 257,232 years of my lifespan. I’m sure I would have done more damage if I had used the Money Construct Metac, but it would have cost 5,359 divine merit points if I had used 1 divine merit point for each attack.’
This made him shake his head, thinking, ’My 490 divine merit points wouldn’t have lasted for long. Truly, the Money Pathway is a rip-off. It should be called the slavery pathway.’
There are very few divine beings who possess 257,232 years’ worth of lifespan and can spend it on killing an enemy. Yet, such a being as he finds it expensive to spend divine merit points. He can only wonder how others manage.
By others, he didn’t mean Money Body. He knows very well how Money Body managed to acquire so many divine merit points. In fact, he is also sure that he would be able to do just as well as Money Body if he had an alliance working to earn him divine merit points.
While he was thinking about this, he had already begun punching the next dragon. The dragon was a rank 7 dragon, so it was many times stronger than the one he had just killed. But he was sure that it wouldn’t take as much time to kill this dragon because the death of the first dragon had changed a lot of things for the dragon.
The first major change was that the dragon king had become weakened. After all, the total number of Divine Metacs that it could use had reduced from 8 to 7.
This reduction didn’t affect the dragon king immediately in his fight with Money Body because the Divine Metac that was lost was the newest Water Sense Metac.
The dragon king couldn’t use the Water Sense Metac in his fight with Money Body because he couldn’t combine it well with the other seven Divine Metacs. So the absence of the Water Sense Metac only disrupted the illusion attack that the dragon king had been using to trap Nether Flame and Blood Word’s mind.
Without the illusion attack, the two of them could regain their senses. Unfortunately for them, the situation was already too late for them because their Cave Heaven was now full of black poison water.
So even if they willingly turn off their Life Fire and die to cut off their Cave Heaven from Oceania, they wouldn’t be able to escape their fate. Therefore, Loki’s help in making them regain their senses could only make them aware of their death as it happened.
Loki ignored the two of them and continued beating the second dragon. This time, he pushed the rank 7 dragon to its limit quickly because its limit had been lowered.
Initially, the will of Oceania had a lifespan of 7,014,825 years to spare. But it spent 2,314,893 years of its lifespan keeping the weak dragon alive. So now, it only has 4,699,932 years of its lifespan left to spare.
The will of Oceania was still willing to spend one-third of its 4,699,932 years of lifespan on keeping the rank 7 dragon alive. But this was only 1,550,978 years of lifespan.
