GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The true form that Ragnarok is fighting is not from just any Primogenitor. It is Marlinto's true form. Every Origin god level being has one. It is a form that is the manifestation of their concept. To unleash it is an indication that Origin gods are taking the fight seriously. 

Monarchs don't have concepts so their form is related to the demon god of Carnage in one form or another. This is because they fuse with their domain of blood which came from the demon god. Marlinto's form is special. It is the spitting image of the god of Carnage. 

The red octopus form of Marlinto is very strong and also capable of fighting many opponents at a time. He has the highest regeneration amongst all the Monarchs because of it. That has enabled him to survive ambushes and even kill his ambushers despite being outnumbered. And yet, he is struggling to kill one Ragnarok. 

They are not afraid that Ragnarok can kill Marlinto. But if Ragnarok can survive this fight, then he is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with. That is something they don't want to admit about a boy who is less than a thousand years old. 

Secula sighed. They didn't get his point the first time so he has to speak again. But he doesn't like to speak. His sigh drew the attention of the primogenitors. They know he doesn't like to talk so whatever he says must be important.

He said with a tone of finality, "Ragnarok will win."

Drastoic laughed and asked, "Why is that so?"

Secula refused to speak anymore. He kept his face calm and focused his attention on the fight instead.

Drastoic shook his head. "The fight will end soon. That much is a given. Ragnarok has had hours but he has only used it for running. How can he turn the tides now that he is running out of time?"

They thought about it. The fight has been going on for almost 13 hours. The night lasts for 16 hours. It is currently a few minutes to sunrise. About 19 minutes to be exact. That is not enough time for Ragnarok to kill Marlinto even if he has hidden his strength. Or could it be possible that Ragnarok will kill Marlinto in that time before the sun comes up?

They shook their heads in disagreement. What they are more concerned about is that the fight will end soon since the sun is about to rise. So their fun time will end soon. They can see and hear Marlinto screaming in frustration in the domain.

"Come here, you runt. Come here and let me kill you." He yelled. 

But Ragnarok didn't come over to be slain. He continued to run around no matter how Marlinto screamed for him to stop running. 

Marlinto swore in anger, "I will hunt you for the rest of your days. I will hunt you to the ends of the earth. Nowhere will be safe enough and no one will be able to protect you from my wrath."

Ragnarok responded in kind. "I doubt you can hunt me to the ends of the earth. I will be at your mother's. She will give you a talking to if you dare come to her place."

"Atrocious!" Marlinto yelled. "Stop using crude tactics like some barbarian. My mother is already dead. I killed her and I will kill her again if she comes back to life. Nothing will stop me from killing you."

"So you don't deny that if your mother were alive she would give you a talking to."

Marlinto roared. "RAGNAROK!"

"Too bad that your mother is dead. You need a lashing right now. I am sure she will be very happy to smack some sense into that thick skull of yours."

The two of them engaged in batter as they fought. Ragnarok did most of the talking but it wasn't a chore. It is his pleasure to do so. Marlinto on the other hand stumbled about like an enraged giant. If they were in the material world then they would have done massive damage to the plane. They would have surely caved down the Underdark at this rate. 

Marlinto is now a Collosal being the size of a demon king. He is 10 kilometers tall and 3 kilometers wide. His tentacles reach 100 kilometers in length and are hundreds of meters thick. There are also tens of thousands of them. As for Ragnarok, he remained in his 100-meter tall beast form. The beam of dark light that he is burning his Origin energy to create is just 1 meter in diameter.

The difference in size is glaring. A single tentacle will surely kill him. That's for certain. He won't survive it just like an ant won't survive the smack of the hand of a giant. 

His best attack is also not enough to harm a single tentacle. It is like he is using a toothpick to fight off a giant hellhound. A toothpick is not even enough to fight off an ordinary dog. It might cause the dog to yelp before it rips you apart. The toothpick will only cause a hellhound to feel a slight itch. So he kept his distance from Marlinto throughout the fight. 

Marlinto suddenly stopped moving. He said, "I don't know why your domain is so large and so powerful that you are able to contain me. I don't even know how you have an Origin domain, but this fight will end here. The sun is about to come up. I am done playing with you anymore."

He is not going to chase Ragnarok anymore. It is ineffective anyway. Plus it is just a few seconds to the rise of the sun. He is just going to wait for the domain to collapse when the sun comes up. Then he will escape.

Ragnarok smirked and asked, "What about the sun?"

Marlinto stared at him like a fool. He asked in derision, "Are you senile?"
