Chapter 1405: A Dangerous Person.

He clicked his tongue as he said, "You and your brothers are troublesome fellows, but you messed up this time. You messed up when you underestimated me."

"You knew that I knew you could break oaths. So it shouldn’t be far-fetched that I would do something to prepare for it. Yet, you walked right into my trap."

"I guess you made this mistake because you didn’t know that anyone would do anything when there is sufficient benefit. If I offer the Will of the World something it couldn’t reject, it would surely turn on you," he said, speaking reasonable words, but his tone was one of disdain.

Actually, Wandering Thief knew that sufficient benefits could move someone to do anything. That’s why he thought the Will of the World would welcome his offer and be grateful for it.

Unfortunately, he was mistaken right from the start. First of all, Ragnarok hadn’t forced it to make that deal with him. He had used benefits to get his way.

Then, when his Domain was established in the world, he told the Will of the World to tell people that it was forced. The Will agreed because it also didn’t want to admit to anyone that Ragnarok was scary.

So when the other Dao Lords in the world asked, the Will told them the wrong thing. This misinformation reached Wandering Thief and made him believe that the Will was being oppressed. So he saw an opportunity to undermine Loki.

He saved that opportunity for later, but when Loki started attacking their interests, he decided to use it to sabotage Loki. But it wasn’t the opportunity he thought it was. Instead, it was a trap Loki had set for him long ago.

As long as he came to the Will of the World, he was doomed. He had his eyes in the sky, searching the lower realm for any trace of the Heavenly Eye and the Wandering Thief, so he knew something was wrong when the Will appeared outside the world for no apparent reason.

Even if he hadn’t noticed the Will talking to someone, the Will would have drawn his attention to it. The worst would have happened had Wandering Thief entered the super world.

The Will of the World would have trapped him directly because the benefit he offered was too much to pass up. His benefits were definitely more than whatever Wandering Thief could offer.

When Wandering Thief realized that he couldn’t escape, he decided to save himself from wasting lifespan. But before doing that, he said venomously, "This isn’t the end."

But Loki smiled, unconcerned, as he said, "For your sake, our fight should end here. I know you don’t believe me, but you’ve already lost."

Hearing this, Wandering Thief laughed and said, "The fact that you’re trying to convince me to give up proves that you’re afraid of us."

Ragnarok snorted before saying, "I’m only afraid of being delayed. I have more important things than playing around with you guys, and I don’t want you to waste my time."

"Anyway, it is not up to you to determine when this will end. I will make sure you regret what you did before I give up," Wandering Thief said with pure hatred and determination.

He gave up on his avatar and let the black force break him down. The Devouring Ability took advantage of this weakness, melting the pieces of his broken existence before absorbing them.

Seeing that he couldn’t convince him of the futility of his endeavor, Loki sighed and said, "So much hatred isn’t good for one’s health."

As he spoke, he withdrew the black force field. Then he collected the shimmering form of the Supreme Metac and pushed it into the super world.

The ghostly apparition appeared and took it. Then it said with complicated emotions, "It was nice doing business with you."

It was conflicted because the other Dao Lords had told it many bad things about the Gemini people, so cooperating with Ragnarok, even if beneficial, felt like making a deal with the devil and selling its soul.

It was smart enough to know what it was doing could come back to bite it later. It was convinced that whatever trouble might come would be very big, since Ragnarok seemed to have a plan for everything and was willing to give up two Grand Daos to work with it. After all, someone willing to give up two Grand Daos would be difficult to deal with if they ever became allies.

It was worrying about the future, but Loki wasn’t worried at all. He was cheerful, smiling as he said, "It was likewise nice doing business with you."

"Remember, if you work with me, you will benefit immensely. But if you cross me, be prepared to lose your life."

After dropping this warning, his figure flashed away, disappearing from sight. Now only the Will of Alpha Peak remained.

The Will looked at the section of the world barrier the black force field had eroded earlier. It was like a wound on the body of the world.

The wound was healing and wouldn’t take much time to return to its perfect state. But the Will of the World was still concerned.

"What a dangerous person," it said, then it withdrew into the super world with the loot that Wandering Thief paid for with his life.

The area became tranquil and peaceful once again. If anyone passed by, they wouldn’t know a fight had just happened here and that a Dao Lord’s avatar died not long ago.

Only the Dao Lords watching in the sky and the parties involved knew that something momentous had happened here. They had arrived just as the fight started.

They said nothing throughout the fight. They also didn’t send reinforcements to their ally. It was as if they had come only to witness Wandering Thief’s execution.

Their bright eyes were like torches illuminating the dark. But even the Dao Lords withdrew their gaze, restoring darkness to the area.
