"Huh—I can move!"
President Loki, who had been ashen-faced, suddenly showed a look of smug delight as he found himself regaining his freedom.
"There are always people who don't know their place; that's Elios!"
President Loki, muttering to himself, looked at Elios, preparing to flee.
However, what he saw stunned him.
That guy isn't dead?
Wait!
Elios seems to have stopped. He—he can actually make Elios stop?
President Loki's figure, with a sinister gaze, stared at that figure, deep in thought.
"Is it a stalemate—"
If he defeats or controls Elios, won't I be forever under someone's control?
I am the King!
Kill him!
As long as he dies, no one can threaten my rule and King status, and everything will return to normal.
Even if I still have to face the threat of Elios, I can thrive as before and reign supreme.
Now is the best chance!
President Loki slowly got up, his hands quietly gripping two daggers, preparing to use his good at skill: backstab!
However, other Lokis had the same idea, and were even faster than him.
"Go to hell!"
A Loki, holding a long spear with both hands, directly stabbed towards the guy's lower back.
"This idiot!"
President Loki cursed inwardly.
Once that guy dies, Elios will have no opponent and definitely won't let them go!
"Hmm?"
Samuel, who was concentrating on dealing with Elios, suddenly felt a very weak energy surge within him.
Immediately after, the system prompt sounded.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Disease Immunity (Loki)"
Behind him.
The Loki holding the spear looked at the spear tip, which was only an inch away from the other party's lower back but couldn't get closer. Refusing to believe it, he pulled it back and stabbed out again with force, looking like he wouldn't stop until he pierced his kidney!
Here it comes again.
Samuel again felt a weak energy surge within him; this was energy absorbed by [Absorb and Release Energy].
Frowning, he turned his head, and a crimson Hot Ray directly pierced the head of the Loki who had backstabbed him.
"Thump!"
The Loki, accompanied by a sizzling sound, slowly lay on the ground.
Not far away, the other miscellaneous Lokis scattered and fled, but they couldn't escape the temple even if they escaped the monk. Where could they run to in the Void?
His crimson eyes looked at President Loki, who hadn't had time to escape. President Loki's expression stiffened, and he squeezed out an awkward smile.
With a thump, he knelt!
Alright, You are something. You can truly stand up and kneel down!
Samuel withdrew the Hot Ray and turned back to continue conquering Elios. He had a premonition that Elios was about to give up.
"Buzz!"
The dam broke, and the water rushed out.
Samuel, after painstaking effort and tireless attacks, finally succeeded in entering.
When You can easily enter, You should understand that it's not because You are powerful, but because others have already cleared the path for You. What I admire is not the excavators, but those fearless pathfinders—
Samuel's hard work was not in vain. Elios's mental neck was huge, and it was resisting fiercely, trying to expel his mental power.
Without time to look at the unknown past in Elios's memory, Samuel quickly controlled its consciousness, putting it into an unconscious state of sleep.
At the same time, he forcibly modified its memory, making it obey only his commands from now on!
"Done!"
Everything was settled. Samuel excitedly clenched his fist, ready to find President Loki and share this joy.
Joy shared is joy doubled!
What?
You say he's not happy? What does that have to do with me!
Turning around, Samuel didn't even see President Loki's Shadow. One can only say he's worthy of being a Loki, his survival instinct is first-class!
It's a pity; he missed this opportunity for shared joy. It's likely he won't have many chances to be happy in the future—
Under the dark and gloomy sky, Samuel walked casually in front, with Elios, formerly a symbol of Death, obediently following behind him.
This scene was like a King inspecting his territory with a monster, both strange and harmonious.
Pieces of gold and silver jewelry flew out from various hidden corners under the control of a magnetic field, suspended around Samuel, moving with him.
Samuel opened the system. The Lokis' chaotic killing and the battle with Elios had dropped quite a few combat rewards.
He was only 16 points away from being able to upgrade the combat detection range again.
Super Strength, Super Endurance, Super Defense, Cold Immunity, Super Vitality, Self-healing—these basic abilities all had varying degrees of improvement.
He gained four new abilities.
Disease Immunity, Virus Immunity, Energy Projection, Time Negation.
Disease Immunity and Virus Immunity, as the name suggests, are immunities to various diseases and viruses. Energy Projection is a normal magic energy attack. These are considered standard 'Loki' abilities.
Time Negation, this one is worth talking about.
Elios has two core abilities: one is the absorption of various energies and substances, and the other is Time Negation!
The power of Time Negation lies in its ability to prevent time energy from traveling to the end of time before its existence, meaning one cannot travel back to before its existence to destroy or change it.
More simply, no time traveler or person from the Time Variance Authority can change Samuel through time!
He is a predetermined absolute existence. His future can be changed, but his past cannot.
Using the Time Variance Authority as an example, the Timekeepers can prune him, but they cannot change him by resetting the timeline.
If there were ten people around Samuel when the timeline was reset, these ten people would be pruned as time branches. After the reset, their past selves before the time branch appeared would continue to live according to their predetermined fate.
But Samuel would not!
