GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Rinoz doesn't know what a battle sage monkey is but she doesn't need to know to become angry because of what he said. If anything, she is certain that he is making up that race just to insult her. She may be ignorant, but she is certain that there is no such race as a battle sage monkey in the plane. 

He can feel it through the line of communication just as he can see her power going wild in her body with his third eye. She is livid. Her emotions are boiling over through the connection. Her reaction reminded him of Ghaster and it made his grin wider. 

She retorted in anger, "You are proud and foolishly stubborn. You relied on luck to escape from the demon god and you think that makes you special. Do you think that you are stronger than me because you are a king of law while I am still a transcendent? I will let you know that you are the ignorant one. I am as strong as Origin gods. You probably don't even know what those are. You are the stubborn, ignorant, and naive one."

She is very angry. It became obvious as she ranted and spewed forth insults. Ragnarok continued to smile. Everything that she said is reinforcing what he said about her being ignorant. She doesn't know how strong he is but she foolishly believes that she is stronger than him. 

Her ignorance this time is not excusable. If she were as strong as Origin gods, how come she failed to defeat the devil's pit? Or does she think that an Origin god would be stomped by a lifeless gate? If she does then she is more ignorant than he thought. Besides that, If she were stronger than him, how come he succeeded where she failed? 

These are important questions that she overlooked. She should have answered them before she assumed anything. It shows that the lack of information is not the sole reason why she is ignorant. 

He decided to see what she thought so he asked her calmly, "If you are so strong, how come you failed to take the devil's pit while I succeeded?"

She replied with a raised voice. "Isn't that because you have some Authority empowering your divine ability? It was also easy to do since you acted from within the devil's pit while I had to attack from the other side of the gate. You are nothing special Ragnarok. Do you hear me? You are nothing special."

She was almost shouting by the time she finished speaking. That didn't anger him. It is like speaking with a child throwing a tantrum. The child is being silly at best. It is nothing to take seriously.

He said to her, "You are half right. You are not as stupid as I thought. I did have the advantage of Authority. But that is not the whole picture. You are still ignorant. If you were not ignorant then you would know that you are not special either. Do you know what makes a child of the plane special? I'll tell you. It is not the title. Anyone born on the plane can be given the title. But only special, unique, and talented individuals who have proven themselves are given that title to protect the plane. As for you, you were the next best thing available."

She retorted, "If I am not special, then you are worse than special. I am the child of the plane. What are you? You are just a Warrog that ran around for his dear life. You are a coward. Why do you feel as if you are better than me? You are merely a king of law."

He almost laughed then. She is using the fact that he was chased all over the plane to belittle him. That doesn't make sense. He was chased because he was special. Both the fountain of life and the demon god wanted him. As for her, she was the one who hid away for most of her life. She is the coward here not him. 

But he didn't laugh. He decided to mock her more. 

"We are not the same thing. I came first. Then you appeared thanks to the assistance of the will of the plane. I am the real deal. You are a fake, a copy of my greatness. All you have comes from me and what you have should have belonged to me."

"That's not true." She shouted at him. "It is preposterous. It can not be true." 

He chuckled. "See? That's why I called you ignorant. The demon god told me of your Origin but you don't know." 

"You are lying. It must be lying too. I don't believe this."

"Believe whatever you want to believe. Ask the Will of the plane about it if you dare."

"This changes nothing. Even if it is true, then you were also lucky to be born with the full divine ability. That is no different from my situation. We were both lucky to be born with something we didn't work for."

He shook his head before he asked her, "Have you ever come face to face with a demon god? Have you had a demon god attached to your existence? Have you ever had a demon god speaking directly into your mind? No, you haven't. I repeat. We are not the same."

 "That doesn't matter. You obviously escaped so it must not be that difficult. Besides, I have the Will of the plane on my side. That is the equal of the demon god. You don't have that. You are on your own. So you are right. We are not the same." She said proudly.

He had to sigh. She is wrong on so many levels. It is laughable to think that a demon god is equal to the Will of the plane. How can something that wants to eat something be equal to the food that it wants to eat? How can a predator be equal to its prey? Who thinks like that?
