GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

70 Supreme beasts stood as one in the air while they faced off against him. Their position was not random. They were obviously in some formation of some sort.

He noticed that the first line was made of warriors with defensive features. Behind them are millions of soldiers of various types created or summoned by the one-man army. This line is also surrounding him right now. The other Supreme beasts have scattered themselves amongst the soldiers so it will be difficult to single them out and kill them.

He said to them, "I hope for your sake that you have come to me to hand over your rent together and do me the favor of shortening my work."

It is clear that they are here to fight him. The soldiers were already surrounding him so he didn't need to ask. But he asked and they replied. They deployed their domains on him.

Their powerful divine sense spread into the world to take control of it. They couldn't control the world but they were easily able to control more world power through it. They were also able to burden him with the power of their mind to deprive him of world power.

That is as good as any answer about their intentions. He felt the world freeze around him in an attempt to slow him down and weaken him but he just chuckled. Then he deployed his domain in retaliation.

Or he tried to deploy his domain. It didn't work. His inner world refused to cast its influence into the world.

His confidence took a hit when he tried to deploy his domain. This is the first time he will be using it since he became a Sovereign so the resistance of the law matrix around him was unexpected.

"What is going on? Why is the law matrix antagonizing me?"

Legion-7 answered, "I don't know. But it seems the void universe doesn't want you to use your domain."

He groaned. "This fight is going to be difficult without a domain."

Legion-7 declared, "It might be the fault of the crown of Chaos and not the law matrix. After all, demons don't have domains."

"It might also be the Celestial godhood. It is not compatible with the path of perfection." He thought to himself in displeasure.

"The good news is that you definitely won't need to create your own supreme law to become a world god."

The supreme beasts aren't going to let him delay any longer. The Warriors swarmed him. He is on the ground so they had to fly down to attack him. He did it on purpose to somewhat limit the directions that attacks will come from.

A black hole opened on his helmet and a torrent of concentrated lightning was ejected from his face. This is his concentrated dragon breath. It is so concentrated that the lightning is in the plasma state.

The torrent that came out of his face was white and silent. The tiny torrent expanded and exploded in front of him. It rose high like a tide made of violent white energy meant to drown out his enemies. It is a gift that he has been brewing for many years.

A warrior stood out from the rest. This warrior didn't try to defend against the attack. She bore the full attack with her whole body. Her arms were spread wide as the attack washed over her.

Strangely enough, the attack didn't hurt her. The tide of energy more than 100 meters tall fell on her and into her. It collapsed at the point of contact with her and entered her body. It was as if she was swallowing the attack.

It was an impressive feat. Her actions protected everyone behind her. But she reached her limit soon. It was then that the others stepped in to help her. She has bought them enough time to defend themselves and they did so by attacking what remained of his dragon breath.

Their attacks were like stones sinking into an ocean. They were swallowed because they couldn't resist his dragon breath. However, their efforts managed to destabilize the dragon breath before it overwhelmed her. The dragon breath exploded impotently before them instead of amongst them.

The attack exploded into a ring of fire. It boiled the air and the mana it contained. The shockwave caused by the superheated air alone killed tens of thousands of soldiers who were too close to the explosion.

The rampant wave of energy radiation that followed was more deadly. All the supreme beasts had to resist it with their divine sense and world power. It took all their combined might for them to survive it.

"We would have been wiped out if we hadn't prepared for his accumulated attack." They thought to themselves in fear.

A single attack of his and they could have died. But they didn't die because they were prepared for it. They had yet to sigh in relief when he struck again. He passed through the center of the explosion to strike the warrior who defended against his attack.

She defended herself. Her arms were crossed in defense against his punch. But that didn't stop her from flying backward and smashing into everything behind her as she was sent out of the battlefield.

Her speed of exit was so fast that it was after she was gone that the sound of the punch whistling through the air and striking her was heard. It was the sound of thunder followed by an almost inaudible groan of pain.

The rest moved into action immediately. A hole had appeared in their formation because of that punch but they were quick to rectify it.

"Quick, unleash the accumulated attacks."

They didn't only plan to neutralize the accumulated attack that the Shadow of Despair is famous for, they also prepared their own for him. They are using them now that he is so close to them.
