But if the eye had to pick one of these two absurd options, it would pick the latter. It would rather believe a strong third party it couldn't see was involved than accept that Loki was stronger than it, because Loki was clearly a Gemini and no god could be converted into a Gemini and held captive like this. In fact, he had reasons to believe that the third-party was the god king.
Meanwhile, Loki was making a Supreme Metac. He was very focused, as he had a lot counting on this. So he was dealt a heavy blow when his first attempt failed.
The Supreme Metac failed to form and collapsed at the 12th commonality. So he had only 3 steps left before it failed. Clearly, something was wrong with the Supreme Metac's structure and image.
Black Loki got angry for a bit and frowned because of the failure. He even cursed, saying, "Damn it."
But no matter how angry he was, he had to accept the failure and try again.
