GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

They can all agree that a team of enemies with a single person from each class will find it difficult to withstand the Shadow of Despair. But they are not a team of 6 enemies. They have 70 warriors who have become able to venture to the divine plane to harass the Celestials. If they can already match some Origin gods in power, surely they can destroy a single Sovereign no matter how special that Sovereign is.

The invigilator and observers were watching too. The Mechanical Emperor laughed at the sight.

"Look at these fools. On one hand, they have wisened up and they didn't line up to fight him. On the other hand, the fact that they are ganging up on him is enough to make him the best Supreme beast in this rite of passage."

The observer beside him said, "All of them are ganging up on him like he is a boss. He has only exchanged for 6 divine abilities and a lot of life essence. He is not the boss they think he is. All of them have complete 9 divine abilities. I think that they are overreacting."

"It is not their fault." The Mechanical Emperor explained. "He has created a shadow of despair over their hearts so they have to take him seriously. They want to take him down with everything that they have. They might win, but no matter the outcome, he is already on top of them because they had to gang up on him."

"You don't think they will win for sure?" The observer asked incredulously, "I know he has grown stronger. I can feel it and see it but do you really think he can beat 70 Supreme beasts?"

The Mechanical Emperor did a mental shrug. "Beating him and sending him running is easy. But actually eliminating him from the rite of passage is not going to be easy. There is surely going to be a massive loss even if they achieve it. I think so because of the liquid graviton divine ability that he exchanged for."

The observer nodded in understanding. The liquid graviton divine ability is very heavy and very tough. It is a material that can withstand the explosion of a star as long as there is enough Origin energy to replenish itself. It makes Warriors very slow but it makes up for it by making them nearly indestructible. It helps Warriors achieve the epitome of invulnerability that they aim to become.

"The only way to eliminate him is for them to grind him down until he runs out of Origin energy. That means they must not let him enter his base to replenish his energy." The observer said after considering the situation.

"It is going to be a long fight then because he has been staying in his base for hundreds of years. He must have accumulated a lot of Origin energy."

The Mechanical nodded in agreement. "I must say that I quite like this Agrivo839,371,456. He is not like his mentor who tried and failed to eliminate everyone early. Only to resort to explosives. Agrivo839,371,455 had the strength to eliminate them but he allowed the Supreme beasts to develop."

The observer snorted. "He is just smarter than Tanc830,428,723C. He didn't leave them alive because of charity. He used them to gather points without doing the missions. Now it has come to bite him in the ass so maybe he wasn't that smart. He should have eliminated them when he could and monopolized the plane."

The Mechanical Emperor simply smiled and said, "We'll see about that."

Everyone in the plane was paying attention to the mobilization not only the invigilator and observers. The gods of the plane, their guest, the people of the plane, and the other Supreme beasts that had refused to join hands to take on the Shadow of Despair.

One of the supreme beasts watching is a column of white fire. She stopped paying attention to the spread of her soul upheaval disease in the plane to watch this fight.

She is a negative buff class Supreme beast that fused soul fire plus the great divine abilities of metal fire, diseases and plagues, and the undead lord. Those are four main divine abilities of which 3 are great divine abilities.

The other five divine abilities are auxiliary divine abilities. They make the undead that rise from those killed with her disease become stronger than when they were alive instead of weaker. These undeads are actually reinforced with metal so they are durable and more powerful.

What's most peculiar about her disease is that it spreads through memories instead of through air, blood, or contact. That means anyone that has seen an infected will become infected too and anyone that has heard the description of the disease will also get infected.

The clearer the description of the disease they hear, the faster they will be infected. The disease will start to appear on their body first as sores which will reinforce the mental image and hasten its spread.

It is an infection that cannot be stopped or avoided. It can only be resisted. Failure to resist means death. It caused the death of 10% of the whole inhabitants of the plane.

That means only one person was responsible for the death of more than 1 billion people. She is the major reason why the supreme beasts began to attack the divine plane this early. They ran out of enemies to kill.

It is no wonder why this Supreme beast is too proud to gang up on one Supreme beast. But she intends to watch and see how the giant that bullied them will be put down. Then she will take over his position as the overlord of the plane and collect rent from the others.

She said in anticipation, "Hurry up already and fight. Beat him up so I can beat all of you up."
