THE GOD EATER

Chapter 649: Inadequate Skill Improvement.

Compared to what the black devouring force field had taken the first time around, losing 6 million square kilometers isn’t so bad. This was because he had gotten better with the process, so he was able to reach the Cave Heaven faster than before.

By the third time, he had gotten even better at getting into Cave Heavens. He was able to get into the Cave Heaven in the shortest time. Unfortunately for him, this didn’t help to reduce the amount of Cave Heaven that was lost.

He lost 9 million square kilometers this time around. This is greater than the 8 million that he lost during his second rodeo.

He lost even more despite becoming better because his Cave Heaven had gotten bigger, which in turn made the Devouring Ability stronger. With the Devouring Ability getting stronger, it could now eat stronger things faster.

So even though he spent less time entering the Cave Heaven, he still lost more of the Cave Heaven because his improvement in skill couldn’t overshadow the improvement in the power and skill of the Devouring Ability.

With 9 million square kilometers lost, a Cave Heaven that should have been 100 million square kilometers could only provide him with 91 million square kilometers. As for the law fragments, they weren’t affected by the Devouring Ability.

He still gained the same amount of 8,792,136 law units from the Cave Heaven. As for the 28,000,000 worth of Cave Heaven that Fenrir ate, he gained 5,291.5 years of lifespan from it.

In total, he had gained 262 million square kilometers and 20,444,345 units of law fragments from the three Cave Heavens. Over the 15 days that he was busy doing this, the manifestations of Fenrir have also provided 260,000 units worth of law fragments for him. This put a smile on his face.

He decided to encourage the manifestations by creating more of them. He made 6 of them and let them loose.

This action of letting the manifestations of Fenrir eat all the spirit creatures they can eat could attract a lot of attention from other divine beings, which could be troublesome. But he is also hoping that the manifestations would attract the attention of divine beings that he could kill and eat.

So these manifestations aren’t just for eating spirit creatures. They are also for scouting out potential prey that he could eat.

When he thought about his plan, he chuckled as he said to himself, ’So they are still for eating. The only difference is what sort of eating will be going on. They will eat spirit creatures while helping me to find divine beings that I can eat.’

’It is a pity that I can’t create more of them. Fortunately, the solution to that problem will be solved soon.’

The number of manifestations he could create was limited by Fenrir and the Devouring Ability. The Nanite Metac can create more than 6 metal dogs, but the extra metal dogs wouldn’t be able to borrow the Devouring Ability.

In fact, if he wants to use the Devouring Ability, he will have to take back one of the slots from the metal dogs. During that period, the metal dog would just be an ordinary divine artifact, not a manifestation of Fenrir.

After he created the extra manifestations, he left the second heaven and returned to the first dimension. He still had a smile on his face because of the things he had just looted.

However, his smile faltered when he remembered where he was going next. As he thought of his next destination, he chuckled and said, "I know that they will still be salty about what I did. But I hope they don’t do anything to violate our contract, or I would be cross with them and the situation might not be so easy to salvage."

He is going to meet and plunder the four small worlds that the Thorn House of Commerce gave Him for doing his part in not killing Forced Exchange and investigating their alliance. Since these four worlds used to belong to the Thorn House of Commerce, they might be there waiting to ambush him.

He had anticipated something like this when he made them promise not to attack him or intentionally do anything to endanger him for the next year. So ideally, there shouldn’t be an ambush waiting for him.

But he doesn’t trust the House or Commerce not to pull off any tricks. In fact, he is willing to bet that there would be tricks in the small worlds or around the small worlds. This is why he flared the full range of his perception this time around to make sure that whoever would ambush him would not have an easy time of it.

He was ready for a fight and a backstabbing on their contract, so he didn’t let down his guard when he reached the first small world and found no ambush in or around it.

The same thing happened to the second small world. There were no ambushes waiting there for him. As far as he could tell, the only trick was that the small worlds were very small and that there were very few living beings in the two small worlds.

He wasn’t surprised by the size of the small worlds when he saw them. After all, it was to be expected that the Thorn House of Commerce would try to fleece him.

According to their contract, the small worlds had to be at least 10 million square kilometers in size. The fact that they had given him small worlds that barely met this criterion was to be expected.

As for the lack of living things on the small worlds, this took him by surprise because he didn’t think living things were valuable to other divine beings.

Since he was the only one who could devour living beings and gain lifespan from them, he hadn’t bothered to set a minimum limit on the number of living things that had to be present on the small worlds.
