They can find criminals and their targets of investigation easily with their eyes but they lost every other ocular ability that could have strengthened them. But that's okay. After all, that ability to track and find the target through any type of environment or situation is what is really needed in a hound dog.
The roar of the lion of justice makes them difficult to be ganged up on and overwhelmed with numbers. The wave of destruction that they produce is a large area of attack with strong crowd control effects. It grants them the confidence to always go forward without the worry of being overwhelmed. The divine ability is powerful with few disadvantages. The slow shockwave is complimented by the fast spiritual light attack.
The most glaring disadvantage of the ability is that it weakens them. Even he wasn't exempted from it. He had to pay the price of using MIND OVER POWER to simulate the ability by sacrificing some of his divine sense. He can regenerate it with time but it is painful to lose it.
They have a good set of abilities but it would have been better if they set out to be destructive in the first place. For example, if their divine ability could be concentrated on a single target. It would have a longer range and it would cost fewer resources to use so they won't be weakened as much when they use it. Then their bloodline will be more powerful.
He shook his head as he thought of the possibilities of their bloodline ability, "What a moron for an ancestor. He condemned his descendants to stupidity."
| He knows about the compelling that their bloodline exerts on them but he doesn't care. Only action matters and Jarkon tried to kill him. It is difficult if not impossible to discern if he really wanted to do it or if he was compelled to do it. But one thing is sure, and that is that Jarkon tried to kill him. Jarkon's bloodline will not exempt him from the repercussions of what he tried to do.
Besides, it is a good thing to try and kill stupid people. What he did with Jarkon is a boon for the battle sage monkeys. Stupidity ruins the potential of a race to survive. In a normal situation, stupid people rarely live long because of the survival of the fittest. But the descendants of the lion of Justice are not weak so they survive longer than they should.
The bloodline of the Lion of Justice needs to be wiped out for the good of the race. Their bloodline should be eliminated for the stupidity it imposes on others. If he manages to wipe out the entire bloodline of the lion of Justice, then no one will be forced to do something stupid like being a hero. So Soverick was being a saint as usual. The real evil entities are the bloodline of justice and the Arena spirits.
Jarkon might have been used by his bloodline but was definitely used by the arena spirit. He was a tool for their agenda. The arena spirit also took advantage of his doggedness to try and eliminate Soverick. They made a mistake choosing Jarkon as their tool. He was faulty and stupid.
Jarkon was a tool used to attack him. A tool is not inherently evil. It is the wielder that is evil. Even then, the tool has to be capable of what it is being used for or it will hurt itself. Jarkon was not capable of what he was being used for and he suffered for his incompetence.
Soverick can't be blamed for not showing mercy just like a rock cannot be blamed for shattering a blunt axe. It doesn't matter even if he is blamed for it because he doesn't care. He killed thousands of people because they wanted to fight him. What's one more nut job who is way over his head?
The competition continued like so. People meet each other, fight each other, and kill each other. It was a chaotic free for all with an element of order. The objectives are clear. They are to try and reach the center of the arena or acquire as many feats as possible before they die. They can achieve these objectives any way they want.
The objectives add the element of Order to the challenge but the numerous ways of achieving them created Chaos. The Unified Skill Index is not a competition with organized fights. People don't face one fighter once in an enclosed ring and try to beat them to reach the next stage. The real world is not so orderly. The real world is chaotic. The real world is not fair most times and the competition should reflect that unfairness.
That unfairness showed in a very glaring way. The last man standing made it fairly obvious that only one person can win but some people thought it is a good idea to join forces. This idea is not unique to certain people and neither is it limited to a special set of people. A lot of battle sage monkeys thought of it and did it.
The idea to combine forces became adopted pretty quickly because it wasn't suggested during this challenge. The idea for corporation was recommended last challenge because of one person. Very few are like Soverick that are competing alone. And many are those that believe they need to band together to defeat him. It just so turns out that cooperation is a good idea to fight others apart from the child of the plane so many people banded together in this challenge.
Cooperation is a common thing that happens in the world. Banding together to augment your strength is how society is formed. So it is not cheating when people form teams. It is just the way of the world to seek strength in numbers. A team of 2, 4, or even 10 is alright. It is acceptable. But an army of a thousand is cheating. Unfortunately, there's nothing stopping people from forming an army.
