THE GOD EATER Novel Chapter 109: Compatibility And Mutation

Chapter 109: Compatibility And Mutation.

Gone was her laughter and amusent. By the ti she finished speaking, her voice was dripping with bloody malice. The intent to kill was so strong that Jim stepped back in fright.

Then she said to Jim, "Go and continue doing your job. I will reward you for bringing this to my attention. As for the rest, I will take care of it."

Jim didn’t know what she ant by she would take care of things, but he didn’t ask to know sothing she wasn’t willing to tell him. He simply nodded before scurrying away.

But he soon returned to tell Death Envoy that another person had co to watch Loki. But this ti, Death Envoy didn’t care. She told him to continue doing his job without minding the other person.

She spoke as if she didn’t care that soone else was watching Loki, but she still imdiately sent out a zombie to grab the new stalker and bring them to her lair.

This ti, no other stalker was sent to keep watch over Loki. At least, it looked like only Jim was busy with that sort of work.

While this was going on, Loki was busy with his Life Ability. It took one and a half months, but he finally finished forging it.

The final product was a large block of black tal. One look at it and one wouldn’t know that it was made from Living tal because Living tal is a white material.

After forging it, Loki began the arduous work of refining it with his internal energy. He had already forged the whole thing using his blood as water for every step, so the block of tal was very receptive to his internal energy.

Once it was soaked up in a lot of energy and had drunk its fill, Loki then used the Telekinesis tac on it. He used the power of his mind to lift the block and pull it into his body.

As the big block rose into the air and began approaching his body, it aos began shrinking in size. It shrank in size from a large block of tal into a small cube of tal the size of his fist. This allowed it to fit into his energy well.

With the cube of tal beginning to enter his energy well, Loki beca nervous because this was a very important part. Not only will the reaction between his Life Ability and his Core tac determine if his advancent to rank 3 is successful, but the product of the reaction will determine the final state of the Life Ability.

A Life Ability is not only the thing that he forges. It is the final product of the fusion of what he forges and his Core tac.

So Core tacs will reject a Life Ability because it isn’t compatible with them. And so Core tacs will change the Life Ability to make it more compatible with them.

The latter is why there is a fixed group of Life Abilities that every cultivator in a pathway can forge for their Core tac.

For Forgers like him, their Core Abilities can be a small forge, a hamr, an anvil, armor, etc. Each of them will have various abilities, but they will all be compatible with the Telekinesis Core tac.

As long as a Forger picks one of these compatible Life Abilities, they shouldn’t have a problem getting the Telekinesis tac to fuse with it.

However, as for the mutation that occurs when the Core tac tries to change the Life Ability to make it more compatible during the process of fusion, there is nothing that can be done about it.

One can’t prepare or account for a mutation. But most Forgers don’t have to worry about this because mutations rarely happen, and they are usually a good thing when they do. After all, their Life Ability is always compatible with their Core tac.

Unfortunately for him, his Core tac is actually Fenrir, not the Telekinesis tac. So he has to be worried about what he had forged being incompatible with Fenrir and failing.

As for the matter of mutation during fusion, he is sure that it will happen. This is sothing he is willing to bet money on without knowing the outco beforehand, simply because his Core tac is actually Fenrir, not the Telekinesis tac.

He simply expects the other energy chambers and their Core tacs to influence his Life Ability in one way or another. So he has two things to worry about. He has to worry if the fusion will fail and what kind of mutation he will get after the fusion.

Even though he could restart if he failed, he was still nervous as he watched. His nervousness spiked to an unhealthy level when he saw the black cube of tal begin to do sothing even more absurd than shrinking when it reached Fenrir.

He saw that the cube of tal began to lt as soon as it touched Fenrir. It turned into a slimy liquid that coated Fenrir’s white fur and turned it black. This made Fenrir now match its black scaled tail.

So now Fenrir had been changed by the Life Ability. This made his heart relax because this could only happen if Fenrir was willing to accept the Life Ability.

The next step began imdiately. Since he had been changed by Fenrir earlier during the paused breakthrough, the breakthrough could now continue because Fenrir had also been changed by him.

It is said that the goal one needs to achieve in order to advance to rank 3 is to let the Core tac change the host so that the host will fit the Core tac better, and for the host to change the Core tac with a compatible Life Ability so that the Core tac will fit the host better.

This way, both the host and the Core tac can further fuse and try to beco one entity. As it happened, this was exactly what he began to experience as the breakthrough resud.
