With three shield breakers gone, Money Body shook his head and said, "That does it. We have now confirmed to the world that the first attempt was not a fluke. Not that it would have made much of a difference when the world is so alert."

"Anyway, with only one shield breaker at hand, we won’t be able to enter secretly or easily, even if we manage to plant it. That leaves only one option."

Then he looked at each of them in turn as he said, "I will take point. You will follow me."

"Also, from now on, we should communicate with the divine constellation. It is more secure that way."

Loki agreed completely with that last order. Regardless of his feelings for Money Body, he thought that Money Body was a good leader, if only for the fact that Money Body was able to recognize the need to hide their communications when they entered another world.

When he thought about what they were about to do, he sighed and said inwardly to himself, ’Monarch Nether Flame was right. We are truly at an immense disadvantage, and this outpost mission will be very difficult.’

’We won’t be able to use our divine constellation to find out what’s going on in Oceania, but the world king and the will of Oceania will be able to see everything we do. What’s worse is that we won’t be able to block them from spying on us, no matter how many years of lifespan we have. Only special Divine Metacs can block them.’

While he was thinking to himself, Money Body had already begun to take action. Money Body was now approaching the crystal shield, and the other two were following him. So he hurriedly followed closely behind the others.

They formed a kite formation in their approach. Money Body took the lead at the head of the formation while Nether Flame and Ant Hill flanked him on his left and right. The last one behind the three of them was Loki, standing at the end of the formation.

At this point, no one was blaming Ant Hill for her failure, even though it was a catastrophic failure. They didn’t blame her because doing so wouldn’t do any good. Instead of fighting among themselves, it was just a better use of their time and energy to focus on fighting the enemy and completing the mission.

In fact, no one was saying anything anymore. They were all silent and solemn.

When Money Body reached the crystal shield, his aura shifted, and space seemed to ripple around him. This was an indication that he mobilized the full power of his Cave Heaven.

Loki could tell through the Power Identification Ability that Money Body had also mobilized the power of his stats and a Divine Metac. This caused his eyes to light up, and he waited to see just how powerful this great rank 8 cultivator was.

Money Body didn’t do anything fancy. He simply struck the crystal shield with the palm of his hand.

Many other creatures had passed through the crystal shield just now and hadn’t provoked any reaction. But when Money Body touched the blue crystal shield, the whole shield flashed and turned into a literal net.

The whole crystal shield was now a net that covered the whole world. The net had holes that were smaller than the wholes in fishing nets.

So, from the look of things, fish shouldn’t be able to pass through the crystal shield. Yet, big things like the homunculi were able to pass through the crystal shield.

In fact, air couldn’t pass through the net because it had thousands of layers piled and woven together to make one thick fabric. So even water wouldn’t be able to pass through the net, much less something as big as Money Body.

However, not only has the crystal shield become an impossibly tight net for Money Bag, but it is also vibrating at a terribly high frequency. The strings of the net were vibrating so fast they behaved like the teeth of a saw. They were cutting through everything touching them, including Money Body’s hand.

As Loki watched, he saw the hand of the great and powerful Money Body shredded like confetti. It was as if Money Body had placed his hand in a shredder because his hand was flaking away every moment.

But Money Body refused to give up. He healed every damage to his hand and continued to press it down against the vibrating net.

Money Body didn’t use more power to break the defense of the net. He only used one Divine Metac out of the three in his possession. But no one thought that he was wasting their time.

Because he wasn’t using his full power, the net was having a field day with his hand. In just a few seconds, he had to spend a lot of his lifespan to maintain his hand.

Fortunately, the result of his sacrifice was beginning to show. As his body was damaged and healed, the Money Body Metac forced the net to also lose something. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The Money Body Metac is a Divine Metac that makes anyone who hurts the Monarch Body Metac lose their money as a backlash. So in a way, this is similar to the Reversal Metac.

But if the target of the backlash doesn’t have money to lose, the Money Body Metac will make the target lose what’s most precious to them. In the case of this net, what is most precious to it is its strength and durability.

So by harming Monarch Money Body’s body, the net was gradually weakening itself. This was making it easier to breach not only for Monarch Money Body, but for the other three.

When Loki saw this, he nodded and thought to himself, ’Impressive Divine Metac. Now, if he can get the Gold Body Metac, the superiority of his body will take another step forward.’

’The Gold Body Metac came from the Money Body Metac anyway. So it is just right that the two of them reunite.’
