GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 585 Scheming Like Breathing.



The Serpentine world god asked to be sure, "Really? Can I tweak the final opponent in the survival challenge too?"

The sage nodded. "Yes, you can. But can't interfere in his current fight. The changes will only affect the next monsters he faces."

"Your loss."

The serpentine world god suspects and is sure that the sage is up to something but he can't give up a chance to tweak the final Boss of the survival challenge in Arena 28. It is an opportunity to block Soverick's path forward and he will use it to the fullest extent. He will throw in something that is sure to stump and stall this Soverick boy. 

He will also make other tweaks to make monsters that Soverick will face more difficult. It will give Soverick more scores if he manages to defeat them but it is a sacrifice he is willing to make for the greater good which is not having to pay 6 folds of his already humongous debt. 

The first sage smiled innocently as his Coadministrator went ahead to make the changes with his agreement in Project Displacement. He feels that the talk of him being up to something is a moot point because he is always up to something. It is like saying a weak living being is breathing. Of course, weak living things need to breathe so they will always be breathing. Scheming is like breathing to him. So it is not special that he is up to something now. What would be special is if what he is up to is known. 

He thought to himself smugly. 'It is the knowledge of the aim of an agenda that is important not the knowledge of the existence of an agenda.'

Anyone can guess that he has an agenda but it is more difficult and also more noteworthy to determine what his agenda is. Knowing that he has an agenda will not do much good other than to make you extra cautious and careful. The Sage's plans don't count on you being stupid so being extra cautious and careful won't save you. On the other hand, knowing what the sage is aiming for can help you from falling into the trap. 

He asked himself with slight mirth, 'What is my agenda again?'

He has so many plans and aims that it will be very difficult to keep track of all of them. His agendas are surely related to the competition but what they are is the question. Knowing any one of his agendas can only help you from falling into a single trap. It is not even certain that you won't fall into that trap despite having that knowledge. There are also numerous other traps from that single one. Working with him is like walking about in a minefield.

The Sage's vision encompassed every arena even the ones for the other plane. The two world gods are sitting with an avatar in a world fragment fashioned into a fortress. The inside of the fortress is the arena where the origin gods of the two planes are watching the events of the competition. The two world gods are staying above the arena within the fortress. 

The fortress is outside the realm tree and it is surrounded by other smaller world fragments. 45 of the world fragments are occupied by battle sage monkeys from the Virut plane while 60 are occupied by combatants from the other plane. So all the competitors have unknowingly found themselves outside the realm of high heaven.

The two world gods are in charge of this project that has managed to transport millions of transcendents across a great distance instantaneously without the use of portal technology. The process of transporting the transcendents is unprecedented and more important in and of itself than the competition. 

The participants of the competition will surely be surprised by the knowledge that they are outside the realm right now. But will it improve their situation? Knowledge is power but it only provides a possibility of escaping an unfavorable fate. You still need your own power if that knowledge is to be used to its maximum effect.

Back To Soverick.

The fight ended and it didn't end well. It was a grueling ordeal of a fight. He had to grind down his opponent little by little but he finally reduced the purple phantom to a size where he could reach the armored rhino if he is willing to make the sacrifice of losing one of the arms of the Cyclops. He was willing to make that sacrifice so he dipped his hand into the small phantom just 100 meters tall. 

The rhino is in the center so he only has to push through the force field that makes up the phantom for 50 meters before he can finally end the fight. The arm of the Cyclops began to disintegrate as soon as it made contact with the phantom but he pushed through. He can't feel pain since the arm isn't actually his. It is a product of energy and world power so he continued despite the arm turning to ashes layer by layer.

The armored rhino was very stubborn. It refused to be a willing participant in its killing. It buckled and tried to escape but that failed because it has become too weak with the reduction in size. It then used the purple balls which are very effective against the Cyclops. It shot them at the chest of its oppressor. The purple balls cut through the fabric that makes up the Cyclops easily. They tore through its chest and the arm that is holding it down leaving gaping holes behind but the Cyclops is not Soverick's body just like the phantom is not the real armored rhino.

The use of the purple balls shrunk the phantom further and made it easier to hold it down for Soverick to murder it. The armored rhino must have realized its doom so it went all out. As they say, it is all or nothing. Go big or go die. It decided to go big.
