GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The golems were exactly 2 meters tall. They were shorter than his 2.5 meters tall body and were clearly smaller in size too compared to his muscular form but they weren't intimidated at all. Half of them utilized their small energy shotguns to stall him while the other half moved closer and grabbed him.

Legion-5 knew about these golems and he knew that the strongest feature about them isn't their strength but their ability to cooperate as one. Their minds are linked and synced so they will be able to manipulate him if he allows them to.

So he converted most of his stats into speed briefly. His speed increased by fourfold and he blurred. His hand morphed into a spiked club which he used to smash the first golem he came across.

He aimed for the chest where the power unit was in and crushed it with one blow. The golem's eyes dimmed and it fell from the sky. Legion-5 was already onto his next target.

His form was glitching and stuttering as he jumped from one golem to another. It is because he was constantly and rapidly changing the speed at which he moved. The change in his speed was sudden and jarring so the golems couldn't anticipate his movements. That was the trick to crippling their fighting and cooperation program.

The golems made a whining and whirling sound as powered down after a crushing blow. It was music to his ears. The pitiful scream of anguish that came from within the base also added to his enjoyment.

"Nooooooooo! My precious golems!!!"

The last four golems had surrounded him and tried to jump on him to drag him down but he whirled around. His two arms had turned into sharp blades this time around. So he sheared through them and sliced them into junks. Then he resumed his journey to the base.

There were no more interruptions so he was able to reach the energy barrier again. He doesn't plan to punch this time. His hand morphed into a sharp crystalline blade. It is a blade made from origin diamond. It is vibrating in his hand at an imperceptible frequency. It is also making a low humming sound that very few can hear.

He used his momentum to plunge his blade hand into the barrier. The barrier popped and his hand sank into it.

"I did it?" He asked uncertainly.

But then his face changed. "No, I didn't."

He tried to pull his hand out but it was too late. The cut in the barrier sizzled. Then it discharged the energy within it through that cut. It was as if he cut into a dam. Violent energy that had been under pressure finally got an outlet. They rushed into his aghast face and gifted him with a mighty explosion.

He was thrown back and onto the ground again. His collision with the ground created another crater to blemish the landscape. This time, he didn't rise up from the crater so quickly. The blow to his face had injured him a little. His fine crystal scales have been scorched black and his head had been flattened.

The barrier wasn't unscathed either There was a large section of the barrier missing due to that explosion. But it was covered up faster than he could take advantage of it.

He rose from the new crater like a phoenix rising from the ashes. He looked the part too because he was steaming and the air around him was warped because of heat coming off from his body.

He is largely uninjured. His blue scales were scorched but they were not broken. His flattened head also filled in quickly so he was fine but he couldn't help but be astonished.

He said to Legion-7,"This barrier is too strong for something that is low-level. You didn't tell me it was this strong."

Legion-7 was quick to defend himself, "I didn't know it was this strong. I thought those who attacked your base were too weak."

Both the barrier and the cannon were able to resist him for a while which shows how powerful they are. What he is astonished about is the fact that the barrier and the canon can still be upgraded. This is just their weakest level. It made him wonder just how powerful the ringed defense system that the Supreme Alliance built around a plane is. It should be very strong if some random base could hold back a top-notch Sovereign of law like him.

The Supreme beast behind the barrier yelled at him, "Give up. You are strong but there's no way you can breach this barrier."

The barrier has healed in the period he was down. It made Legion-5 frown.

"I can break it easily," Soverick said. "No barrier is perfect. There are always faults. It is just that the faults are always shifting. But no fault can escape my eyes.

Legion-7 was also quick to suggest, "I can also bypass the barrier. It can't stop spiritual entities or spiritual attacks."

Legion-5 ignored Soverick's boasting and said to Legion-7, "We are not wasting you on a simple barrier. I have to prove my strength as the landlord of this rite of passage. No one will accept defeat if they don't see how I achieved victory. They will think they stand a chance. I don't want to fight for my rent endlessly."

He turned the blade of his hand back to normal. A small hole appeared in his hand from which a small blue spark appeared.

"Let me see how well it can hold up to this."

The spark in his hand popped and snapped with violence. Each of its pops was accompanied by a thunderclap. The spark would make the hair on anyone around it stand on end because of fear and because of the electric charges it was discharging into the surroundings.

The quality of the attack is clearly very high but it is not enough. It is lacking in quantity. So he poured Origin energy into it.
