GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The brown trunk-like origin god attacked him without warning. One of its stubby branches extended sharply towards him like a spear. He was prepared for it so he retaliated with his domain. Warning bells rang through their minds as soon as he initiated the summoning of his domain. They can sense, even before it was deployed, that it is dangerous to them. It came to them as a surprise that anything that he could produce could threaten them. The least of their expectations is that his domain is a threat to them. But that didn't stop them from trying to run away.

The origin matrix warned them of the impending danger. It is a perk of being an Origin god with an actual origin and concept that is connected with the law matrix of the law universe. Their perception and intuition get a boost. But they failed to evade the danger despite getting advanced warnings of it. A domain is not something that can be dodged. It can only be resisted. 

She shouted at the other two origin gods, "Stop it now." 

The three of them summoned their domains to resist the danger. They are no supposed to do so within the plane but they would rather face Mother High Heaven than be caught in his domain. If they limit the influence of their domain, the punishment will be much lesser than death.

Three domains clashed with Ragnarok's from the edge. They ought to push his back and even collapse it since it is 3 of them against him. But they failed in doing that too. The domain managed to envelope them after a slight delay. 

The four of them disappeared from the Cavern in less than a blink of an eye. They appeared in a dark empty world. The three origin gods tried even harder to resist immediately after they realized that they were in his domain. The critical word here is "tried." They tried really hard but they failed to even maintain their domain. It was their own domains that collapsed not his.

"What are you?" The pink flower asked in genuine fear.

She is afraid despite being immortal. The inability to dispel the domain of another origin god indicates a wide disparity in strength. The fact that they couldn't even maintain it after they were enveloped means that their concept will lack the support of the law matrix of the void universe. They are alone against him. 

But that isn't the reason why she is afraid. Those two reasons will only mean her possible death. They mean that she is weak. But the domain also means an ignorant death. It means she will never know how she died. That is something that she fears. Especially when it is caused by a being that is not an Origin god yet.

She asked another question since he didn't answer the previous one. "Where did you get this domain?"

Ragnarok ignored her question. He asked playfully with a menacing grin, "Are you afraid? Do you feel despair? Don't mind my presence. Feel free to feel despair."

He is the playful one now meanwhile she has stopped being playful. She is serious and on high alert as if she is about to fight for her life. It amused him to turn the tables on her.

The green tree trunk said in defiance, "We are not afraid."

The brown tree trunk buttressed that assertion, "No, we are not afraid of you."

Their reply made the pink flower calm down. It said to Ragnarok, "There's three of us and one of you. Why should we be afraid?"

His grin widened as he watched them form up to face him. He told them, "That's very wrong. You should be afraid. You should be very afraid. But don't worry. I will show you why."

His bony armor changed as he spoke. He grew bone spikes all over his body. A blade grew out from his elbows and his claws extended out of his paws. 

These guys are not like Marlinto. They have lost support right from the start of the fight. They are also not a danger to get close to. So he intends to use his full capabilities on them. 

The pink flower tried to reason with him. "You shouldn't do this Ragnarok. You have the potential to be strong and to be an ally for the wood elves. You have gained favor with the wood elves for killing a Primogenitor. We truly do not mean you any harm. Killing us will destroy the favor you have with us. You will have both wood elves and Vampires as your enemies. You will have nowhere to go in the plane. You will be hunted day and night without peace. Please rethink your actions." 

He opened his mouth and roared at her. A black beam was ejected out of his mouth towards her. That is his reply to her. 

The brown tree trunk intercepted the attack with its body. It placed itself in the direct path of the black beam so the beam hit it instead of the pink flower. The black beam clashed with it and was successfully resisted. But the brown tree trunk was pushed back. 

The brown tree trunk roared furiously as it resisted with all its strength. But it kept being pushed back. It is because the black beam is getting larger and stronger. So the origin god expanded exponentially. It grew into a giant treant with many branches as arms and many roots for legs. Its arms are crossed in front of it to resist the black beam. There is a green barrier of soul force between it and the black beam. 

The other two used the opportunity to attack Ragnarok. The green tree trunk grew and spread itself into a large forest of thorny Vines. Every inch of the vines is reinforced with soul force so they can't be destroyed with an attack without soup force. 

The green trunk spread those thorny Vines towards Ragnarok while the pink flower glowed and unfurled into something like a sunflower. She then discharged some pink pollens that wafted towards him.
