THE GOD EATER Novel Chapter 33: Useful In Death

Chapter 33: Useful In Death.

Many of them couldn’t handle what they just saw. So began to vomit their guts out all over the floor, while others broke down and began to cry. The sight was especially impactful to those who used to be friends of the four.

Loki didn’t feel any difference between when he didn’t know what Muni was going to do with the four and when he learned of the fate of the failures. As he looked at the people vomiting, he wondered why that was the case.

He asked himself, "Could it be because I have witnessed this exact sa thing many tis as a slave, or because I’m confident that this will never happen to

again, or because all of these wouldn’t have happened once I reverse ti?"

As he was wondering to himself, Slav happened to walk by. As usual, he was followed by a small entourage.

He didn’t co to watch the auction because he knew exactly what was going to happen to those who failed the initiation program. This kind of thing cannot have any impact on him since his family’s business is practically based on it on a large scale.

So when he passed by and saw people weeping for the dead, the only thought in his mind was to mock them, not to empathize or encourage them.

He sneered and said, "Don’t be sad. Those failures have been put to good use. I don’t know for sure about the usefulness of their other body parts, but I know that their energy wells will be treated and refined into Cloudy Dates tacs."

"I have taken three Cloudy Dates tacs, so you can trust

when I say they are very useful. If you believe , then you can be assured that even though they were trash when they were alive, they will be much more useful to important people like

in their death."

After saying this, he laughed loudly as if to rub salt into their wounds. His entourage laughed with him and flattered him for his great words of wisdom.

Slav didn’t linger with them. He raised his chin proudly and left them to wrangle with their emotional turmoil.

anwhile, Loki watched him as he thought to himself, "So that’s why Cloudy tacs can raise the energy density of the rank 1 energy well by one level. If what Slav said is true, does that an that I have eaten 12 of my peers?"

Then he shrugged and said to himself, unconcerned, "It won’t be the first ti, and it probably won’t be the last."

After thinking of this, he looked in the direction that Muni left and thought to himself, "Is this what Muni ant when he said we could either burn brightly and achieve greatness or turn into kindling and fuel for soone else’s fire to burn brightly? Or could there be sothing much worse ahead of us?"

He has eaten the flesh of a human before. At that ti, he had done it for survival. He was at his limit and needed to eat, or he would have died. So he can say that the experience of using the Cloudy Date tacs was far more pleasant than the first ti he ate human flesh.

The fact that he didn’t know that he was eating another human when he used the Cloudy Date tacs also made the experience less disgusting. But now that he knows exactly what Cloudy Date tacs are made of, he still has no intention to stop.

This is because he has realized a long ti ago what it ans to be a fire with the only choices of burning brightly or being used as fuel for another fire. He realized this very early on in this world.

So might say that it was by luck that he managed to survive as an orphaned slave in this world, but that won’t be the truth. Luck surely had a hand in his survival, but the nurous painful and disgusting sacrifices that he made along the way also played a part in his survival.

Now that he is on the cusp of gaining his freedom and has the ans to do so, he is not going to give up because of so moral dilemma. This is because he has made up his mind to burn like a great fire, even if he has to use the whole world as the kindling to his fla.

He concluded his session of introducing introspection with an affirmation of his determination for greatness and supremacy. Then he left the market for his lodging so that he could continue cultivating.

As he left, he didn’t notice that he was changing. His state of mind was sharpening little by little.

Whether it was his experience that night when Simon sohow managed to break into a place where the rules of the sect explicitly forbade violence and attempt to enslave him, or the ti Tommy fleeced him again and again, or the tis Muni whipped him, but pardoned Slav, or the fact that he has been awake for a month now honing his skill and cultivation, or the sight of the fate that will befall the losers as they were auctioned off like cattle, they all have their impacts on his state of mind.

All of these experiences were like hamr blows and the fire of a forge striking his mind. Their impact might be a little or a lot, but slowly and surely, they were refining his mind into sothing purer with fewer impurities.

-------

The following day, Muni gave each of them a Branch tac according to their requests. Lenard received an extra Branch tac as his reward for refining his Core tac the quickest.

After he distributed the Branch tacs to them, he decided to speak to them about the dangers of losing control and the importance of Dao Heart. He didn’t ntion the events that happened yesterday and treated them as if they didn’t happen at all.
