THE GOD EATER-Chapter 165: Carpet Bombing.

The guards were taken off guard by this proclamation because he and Loki seemed to know each other from the way they were talking just now. But Greg was their superior, so they began to prepare their attacks.

Loki was unwilling to die, so he decided to escape. He didn’t try to kill Greg because he wasn’t sure that he could pull it off, and even if he could kill Greg, it was unlikely to solve this problem. If anything, it would only confirm that he was a spy.

So he activated the Shifting Armor and combined his other Metacs with it to increase his power for the sole purpose of escaping. Unfortunately for him, Greg wasn’t willing to let him go.

Greg’s eyes glinted sharply after he saw the Shifting Armor. Then he thought to himself with agitation, "Is that not the Armored Skin Life Ability? His Life Ability has mutated?"

His eyes became cold, and he said to himself with determination, "I can’t let him live now that he has exposed his mutated Life Ability to everyone. I have to kill him before he draws the attention of a rank 5 forger to me."

He is actually regretting that he pushed Loki to this extent. Unfortunately, what was done was done. There was no going back, and the only way was forward.

Since the only way forward was to eliminate Loki, he raised his mechanical arm to the sky. In response, something in the city raised its hands to the sky, too.

What raised its hands was a giant silver mech. With its hands raised, its engines roared, and it came to life. Then it rose into the air like a god of metal and steel. Light bounced off of its smooth body in a way that it made it difficult for the mech to be looked at from certain angles.

Greg saw this, and with solemnness that he had never shown, he pointed his mechanical arm in Loki’s direction. The mech responded to the order and woke up its armaments.

The two missile packs attached to the upper back of the mech were the first to be fired. The packs ignited with fire as missiles erupted from the two of them and soared into the air after Loki.

One pack fired vertical striking missiles that rose high up into the air and fell down towards Loki. The second park fired horizontal striking missiles that spread from left to right to flank Loki.

Both types of missiles had homing capabilities. So they essentially sealed every path of escape for him.

But as if this wasn’t enough, the mech extended one of its two right arms, which had a grenade launcher attached to it. Then it fired numerous grenades in Loki’s general direction.

Finally, a heavy rocket rose up from behind it and fired. It launched a large rocket carrying napalm as its payload. The mech was essentially carpet bombing the whole area.

This napalm rocket was to explode above Loki’s position and rain down napalm on the whole area. This would ensure that there was no way for Loki to come out of all of these unscathed.

A moment later, there was a barrage of explosions. The explosions rang out like thunder, saturating the area with fire and heat.

When the dust cleared, Loki was nowhere to be found. He had been shattered by the explosions and burned to ashes.

Even without looking, Greg was able to confirm that Loki was dead because the sect had charged him for the value of Loki’s life. But despite killing Loki, he wasn’t happy.

He wasn’t happy because he hadn’t gained anything. So he snorted and said, "What a troublesome fellow. Who would have thought that he was a ticking time bomb? Fortunately, I killed him now."

He was thinking about how he didn’t have any regrets for killing Loki when the world disappeared. No one present noticed anything. They didn’t see anything amiss or feel any pain as their existence faded away.

Loki woke up nearly three days later at the moment of his awakening. He woke up angry and ready to inflict casual pain on a passerby.

His eyes were cold as he thought to himself, "What a fucker. Is there anything that can satisfy him?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

He gritted his teeth and said, "I can’t let this go. At least, not easily. Greg must suffer."

He wished dearly that he could strangle Greg immediately. Unfortunately for him, his wish can’t come through because Greg is not around to be strangled.

And if by some miracle, Greg was in the present right now, it was unlikely that he would be able to strangle Greg, especially if Greg had his giant mech around.

As he thought of that giant mech, he began to calm down. Then he said to himself, "It seems I can’t avoid it. No problem. If I can’t avoid it, I’ll just overcome it."

"If I go all out with all of the pathways that I can use in battle, I can probably take the mech alone, and I can take Greg alone, too. But together, those two become too powerful."

His eyes became cold, and his mind became purely rational as he said, "The only way to bring down Greg and the mech together is to target his mind. Make use of the Mind Hunter pathway to incapacitate him. So I should get more Branch Metacs of the Mind Hunter Pathway."

In the last timeline, he planned how to avoid dying by avoiding Greg. But this time, he has had enough of Greg and is getting ready to kill Greg if needed.

This was what he was thinking about as he went to the market, loaned 100 thousand energy stones, turned them into 1 million energy stones, paid his debt, paid his awakening debt, and signed up for the sect army.

When he was signing up for the sect army, he looked around the list of missions for another mission that would help him avoid Greg. He wanted to pick the battlefield to go so that he could avoid Greg completely.
