Chapter 1305: The Double Cross.

Then he added, "If we promise to help him become the Domain King, we will become his allies and lackeys. He will surely strengthen us so that we can become better helpers for him."

Hearing this, Nameless Fool smiled as he said, "Of course, we won’t mean to help him. We will use him to strengthen ourselves. Then we will double-cross him."

"Poor fourth brother," War Mongerer said, shaking his head in pity. "He won’t know what hit him."

This made the other two burst out laughing. "Hahaha."

"He won’t know what hit him. Well put. Well put," Nameless Fool said while laughing his head off.

Wandering Thief chuckled as he said, "So it is decided. We will trick and fleece Ragnarok. I should reach out to him with the divine constellation to iron out the details. I’m sure he will be happy to hear what I have to..."

Before he could complete the sentence, a black force field appeared within his body, striking the godhead containing the Space Supreme Metac.

His first instinct was to escape, and he activated his Main Divine Ability, Space Anchor Divine Ability, to do so.

He had used the Space Anchor Divine Ability to set up a spatial anchor at a previous location. So now that he was activating it, he was returning to that position.

As his body faded away, he said to the other two, "Danger! Run!"

Then he was gone.

The transportation to that position was instantaneous and bypassed every obstacle. This kind of spatial shuttling was usually good enough to avoid danger. But this time, it didn’t work because the attack followed him to his new location.

When he arrived at his destination, the black force field had already subdued and subsumed the godhead containing the Space Supreme Metac. It was now extending its dark reaches for the other three godheads.

He immediately activated the Freedom Supreme Metac to break free of the black force field’s grip. Unfortunately, this failed, and only the black force field reached the two closest Supreme Metacs.

Four activated godheads sat in his inner space. They were arranged in the four cardinal positions of North, East, South, and West.

The Space Supreme Metac was in the North. The Freedom Supreme Metac was in the East, the Illusion Supreme Metac in the South, and the Thief Supreme Metac in the West.

After taking down the Space Supreme Metac in the North, the black force field grabbed the Freedom Supreme Metac in the East and the Thief Supreme Metac in the West, leaving the Illusion Supreme Metac in the South.

This was when Wandering Thief knew that the situation was very bad. He didn’t hesitate anymore and immediately committed suicide.

He sacrificed the godhead containing the Space Supreme Metac, hoping the black force field would be disrupted and let the others go. The sacrificed godhead exploded in a shower of light, which was a success in a way. But the black force field didn’t let go.

The black force field held on to the three Supreme Metacs and still tried to take the fourth. So he only managed to save one godhead. Naturally, he wasn’t happy about this at all.

He gritted his teeth in anguish as he said, ’I lost one godhead in the war with Black Chain. Now that I’ve lost three more, I only have five godheads to use.’

’With five godheads, I can only be a five-star celestial at most. If not for my brother, my promise to help Ragnarok become the Domain King might really become the truth.’

’After all, a five-star celestial has no place trying to become the Domain King,’ he thought, shaking his head.

Behind him, his true body had shattered. As for the black force field, it was swallowing everything it could reach. When it was done, it disappeared from existence silently, as if it had been an illusion.

He didn’t see the black force field disappear, though. He was already deep in the second heaven, on his way to the Thief Haven super world.

A few seconds later, his figure fell from the sky into Thief Haven. He didn’t fall into his Domain, though. Instead, he went into his brother’s Domain for protection.

"What happened?" War Mongerer asked as soon as he appeared.

Having secured some safety, Wandering Thief had relaxed somewhat. So his voice was calm as he said, "I don’t know. The attack just appeared like that. I lost three godheads."

Nameless Fool, confused, asked, "Were there no signs or traces of the attack beforehand? Surely, an attack that could follow you through teleportation must have something to target you with."

Wandering Thief shook his head and said, "All I noticed before the attack was that something happened to the projection of my Supreme Metac in the divine constellation."

"Now that I think about it, it seems my projection was attacked. But the gap between that attack and the attack on my Supreme Metac was instantaneous. It is like the two attacks occurred at the same time."

Nodding his head, War Mongerer said, "That’s a clue. But what does it mean?"

"At least we have a clue," Nameless Fool said, sighing in relief.

After thinking about the clue and failing to come to any useful conclusion, War Mongerer said, "Let’s take this from the start and pay more attention to everything. Maybe we missed something important that happened before the attack."

"Agreed," Wandering Thief said, also sighing in relief.

"I think that’s a good idea," Nameless Fool said in agreement.

With everyone in agreement, War Mongerer activated the Time Supreme Metac. He activated the Time Anchor Divine Ability, so the world began to change around him.

On Loki’s side, the Devouring Supreme Metac had just received three Supreme Metacs. The three of them were new Supreme Metacs he didn’t have before, so he was very happy.

Loki fed them to the spark of power while laughing. He wasn’t there to witness the attack, but he could imagine what had happened, and what he imagined was hilarious.
