Chapter 993: Distracting Messages.
While the will of the Blessed Heaven World and Tepid Scholar were joining forces against him, a Dao Lord had sent a secret message to Loki.The message went directly into his mind, saying, "I can help you stop Tepid Scholar from helping the will of the world. I can even make it so that Tepid Scholar helps you instead."
"The will of the world likes him very much, so it will listen to him. If he tells the will of the world to let you go, it will do so. All you have to do is give him the Forging Supreme Metac."
This time, the sender of the message was hiding their identity. He couldn’t tell from their voice who they were, which is something he could easily do before because the pressure of the existence of Dao Lords always accompanied their spoken words.
Because of this, the Dao Lord responsible for the message could be anyone. It could even be Tepid Scholar. So Tepid Scholar could be cozying up with the will of the realm and using it to force him to hand over the Forging Supreme Metac.
As he thought of this possibility, he snorted inwardly, thinking, ’It doesn’t matter either way.’
He was sure that a scheme was being played on him. But he didn’t care about it because he didn’t believe that he had anything to fear.
So he ignored the message and scoffed as he said to the will of the Blessed Heaven World, "Dream on."
"There is just one tiny little detail you’re missing. You need power to do all of those things. None of your Dao Lords have the power to contend with me. So how do you expect to trap me, imprison me, and even kill me if I remain stubborn?"
As soon as he asked that question, another secret message came to him, saying, "OK. You don’t need to give him the Forging Supreme Metac for free. You can sell it to him. State a price."
He ignored this message too and instead paid attention to what the will of the world had to say about the error in its plan that he had generously pointed out.
He heard the phantom dragon nod and say, "You may have a point. But it is not a matter that has eluded me, so you don’t have to worry about me."
"I’ve seen your fight with the avatars of my Dao Lords. It was a short fight, but it was full of a lot of information. I have learned a lot from the fight."
"As it happens, one of the things I learned is how to defeat you. I think it will be easy to defeat you, so I’m sure I have enough power to go through with my plan."
In response, a sneer appeared on Loki’s face, and it became more exaggerated as he said, "Black Chains couldn’t defeat me, but you think you can defeat me? How full of yourself are you?"
The phantom dragon, shaking its head in disagreement, said, "You didn’t fight the true Black Chains. What you fought was an avatar of it. That amount of power was less than 1% of what he is truly capable of. So you’re the one who has become full of himself because of a victory over some avatars."
