GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The fountain of life was taken aback by what he said and the question he asked. It eyes narrowed at Ragnarok. Then it said, "You know too much. I am now sure that you are working with the demon god. Only it and the Will of the plane know what I am and what I want to acquire in the plane. Your enmity with CARNAGE has just been pretense. I must admit that it is a good plan. The two of you fooled me. But your schemes end here."

"It seems we must fight." Ragnarok agreed with a glint in his eyes.

He didn't try to explain himself to the fountain of life. Any chance of negotiation has gone out the window. They will fight. 

Actually, he is willing to negotiate for peace with the Fountain of Life. After all, his goal is to destroy the plane and not fight the fountain of life. But the fountain of life wants him dead now that he knows its aim in the plane. 

He knew something like this could happen but he said it anyway because he is not afraid of the fountain of life. He is not afraid that it will think that he is working with the demon god because of the information he knows that he shouldn't possess. With strength comes confidence. 

The fountain of life said in anger, "I should have killed you when you were born."

Ragnarok grinned and smacked his lips. He mocked the fountain of life, "This is the second time you are saying that."

"Important things ought to be emphasized."

Ragnarok shrugged at that. "If it is so important then you are in luck. You have your chance to rectify that mistake now. Why don't you come and give it a try?"

He flexed himself while the fountain of life shot toward him. He moved his six paws about on the shattered earth. It is a difficult thing to do due to the heaviness of the crystalline pillars on his back. But he managed to do so. He even began running towards the fountain of life. 

His six paws slammed into the earth and caused it to quake and shatter. He could fly but he wants his ten tails to remain in contact with the ground. The ground is the foundation of the plane after all. It is the best place to start building a bottomless abyss and he won't let the fight distract him from his main goal. 

The fountain of life swooped down on him. It is as if an eagle is about to catch a rat. The difference in their size and their beauty made it look like that. The fountain of life is beautiful while he looks like some abomination. So yeah, it's like a majestic eagle about to capture a rat. But a rat can't fight as well as Ragnarok.

Ragnarok raised his four front paws to grab the massive hind limbs of the fountain of life. Two of them latched onto the hind limbs of the dragon while the other two switched between clawing at the head or the wings of the dragon. 

He used his grip on the hind limbs to pull the dragon to the ground. The fountain of life didn't like that. It snapped its jaws at him. Its jaws bit him on the shoulders and its teeth sank into his flesh. Then the fountain of life poured forth its dragon fire into Ragnarok. 

The jaws of the fountain of life lit up with a bright white light as a beam of dragon breath poured into Ragnarok in close contact. He felt pain but he ignored it to summon his domain. 

The power of the soul of an Origin god expanded outwards from him powerfully. It sought to dominate a portion of the world. The domain destroyed everything in its way and enveloped the two titanic fighters. But it could not complete its encapsulation because an explosion occurred between them. 

It was not an explosion caused by a rapid change in matter and energy. This explosion was caused by two opposing forces clashing. The domain of a dragon clashed against his domain and they rejected each other. It led to a backlash of force that spread out as a form of shockwave between them.

The two of them were separated forcefully by the explosion. Ragnarok didn't come out of this separation looking good. He is missing most of his shoulder because the fountain of life tore it away from him. 

The injury on his shoulder is healing now but he has a much larger injury on his entire body. The backlash of the domain fell to him. It caused cracks to appear over his body. He is in a sorry state whereas the fountain of life has not been injured at all.

"Dragon Force." He said with eyes blazing with excitement.

His domain is very powerful because it belongs to a world beast. But the domain of a dragon is nothing to scoff at either. Actually, their domains are quite similar in that they both have an inner world. It is not surprising since dragons and world beasts have similar ancestors.

So his domain couldn't get any advantage over the dragon force of the dragon. And a backlash occurred when the fountain of life refused to allow itself to fall under his domain. The resulting backlash was born by him. It injured him severely because the domain he used in the first place was not his. 

He is terribly injured but he is not angry at all. He is not even concerned. He felt carefree enough to say to the fountain of life, "Do you know that I have a dragon friend?"

"Is that so?" the fountain of life said as it swooped down at him again.

Ragnarok is in a sorry state right now. There's no way it is just going to watch him heal. It is also not going to allow Ragnarok to distract it with what it considers as petty talk. It intends to capitalize on his weakness so it attacked.
