THE GOD EATER

Chapter 626: Tempting Offer.

Monarch Machine Body was pleased to hear what they said, so he smiled and said, "Now that sounds like something I can look out for. I hope Craftsman’s Hammer bites more than he can chew and dies."

This made Monarch Floating Furnace roll his burning eyes and say, "When will you get over it? So he took your Power Engine Metac. It has been so long, you should move on."

But Monarch Machine Body shook his head and said, "Never! I will never forget it. I will make sure that his so-called ’straightforward greed’ will be the end of him."

While they were chatting, they began receiving messages from Craftsman’s Hammer asking for help.

In the message, Craftsman’s Hammer said, "There is something wrong with this Monarch Soul Hammer. The world barrier is not affecting him. He is not weakened by the world barrier at all. I think he is not losing lifespan at all."

"He had us trapped in the world barrier and won’t let us out. If you can come to save me, I will give you the Artifact Enhancement Divine Metac and 10, 000 years’ worth of world essence. Come quickly because I am running out of lifespan."

After getting over their surprise at the absurdity of the message that Craftsman’s Hammer had sent them, they began to assess his offer.

Monarch Floating Furnace said to Monarch Armored Shell, "It seems you were right. Craftsman’s Hammer is in a lot of trouble, and it has to be a lethal amount of trouble, or he wouldn’t be offering to give up in a Divine Metac."

Monarch Armored Shell didn’t appear to be happy with being right. Instead, he was solemn as he said, "His offer is tempting. I want the Artifact Enhancement Metac, but I am not sure it is a good idea to involve myself in whatever is going on if even Craftsman’s Hammer has become this desperate."

He was finding it difficult to make a decision, but Monarch Floating Furnace didn’t find it difficult to make a decision at all. The humanoid flame chuckled and said, "I don’t want the Artifact Enhancement Metac, so I’m not joining in the fun."

Everyone else said something and added to the discussion, but Monarch Machine Body didn’t say anything. Monarch Floating Furnace found this odd.

So the humanoid flame said to Monarch Machine Body, "Why are you silent? I thought for sure that you would take this opportunity to gloat and make fun of Craftsman’s Hammer."

Machine Body replied, saying, "Give me a minute or two. I’m still laughing. When I’m done laughing, I will gloat."

Monarch Floating Furnace could only shake his head and say, "This hatred of yours isn’t good for your health."

Machine Body didn’t say anything about this. Apparently, he was too busy laughing to speak.

Since he couldn’t speak, Monarch Floating Furnace stopped bothering with him. Instead, he began focusing on the divine beings who want to find Monarch Crown of Metal’s Cave Heaven to take the Divine Metac within it and plunder it.

It was going to be a difficult thing to do, and Floating Furnace thought that they would have a better idea by paying for the refinement recipe from the sect and using it to refine the Divine Metac.

As long as no one is actively controlling a Divine Metac, the Divine Metac will leave where it is and appear in front of another person who has executed the right steps to refine it. This is why the refinement recipe is also called a summoning recipe.

With the refinement recipe, as long as the person refining the Divine Metac is good enough, doesn’t make any mistake in the refinement, and as long as no one is currently using the Divine Metac, the Divine Metac will appear no matter where it is, as if summoned.

This is why killing a divine being is usually good enough to get their Divine Metac. Even if the death is temporary, as it usually is for divine beings, the Divine Metac can still be taken from the owner because they are not actively controlling the Divine Metac.

However, the refinement recipe is very expensive. A rank 6 is even worth more than a small world, not just the heart of the world. This exorbitant cost is why some would rather ask or coerce the owner of the Divine Metac to surrender the Divine Metac.

In case the owner of the Divine Metac refuses to surrender the Divine Metac and chooses to die, there is still the option to find their Cave Heaven and loot it for the Divine Metac. This is why some Divine Beings like to destroy their Divine Metac before they die.

By destroying their Divine Metac, they will make sure that only they will be able to refine the Divine Metac. So the only way for their enemy to get the Divine Metac after their death is to pay for the recipe from the sect.

Since the recipe is so expensive, many divine beings will give up and would rather spend their resources to create a new Divine Metac. Only those who need that particular Divine Metac for compatibility reasons will decide to pay the sect for the recipe.

In this situation where Lady Crown of Metal died suddenly, the first thing to do is to find her Cave Heaven to see if the Divine Metac is still there or not. Unfortunately, only seers can do this, and even then, their search isn’t always successful.

In fact, the chances of success are usually as low as 1 out of 10. This is why Monarch Floating Furnace thought that they would be better off paying the sect for the refinement recipe.

But since he didn’t have anything to gain or lose in the matter, he was content with just watching. He wanted to see how they would link the position of her death in the first dimension to the location of her Cave Heaven in the second dimension.
