GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



You can't ambush children of the sages. If the kids can't see it coming, their parents will surely will. Considering that their parents are part of the racial council with the power of world gods and the children are leaders of one of the three sanctioned empires in the plane, it will be a very bad idea to try and kidnap them. Practically nothing can save him from that folly. So he has decided to go with a better alternative. He doesn't need her for his plan. But that doesn't mean he won't try to kill her if he can get away with it. 

"Am I not good enough for you? Is that why you don't want to be my partner?" She asked him.

He ignored the question. 

"Suit yourself then." She said with a scoff. "I hope you're ready. It is about to start."

"I can see that."

He can truly see it starting. Several large groups began to arrive all of a sudden. They arrived from different directions and separately to throw him off. His troublemaker is among one of the groups and she is hoping that he won't be able to pinpoint her among the mass of people. She thought wrong. 

He knows about her and what she has been doing even before he met her. She appearing here is just putting a face to the image he has in his mind. It has also made her a physical entity that he can hurt.

He didn't jump to conclusions though. She might be a decoy. Someone meant to throw him off. He is right to be careful since he knows that she isn't the real problem. There is a large force that is against the child of the plane. She is just a vessel for it. 

So he didn't go after her immediately. Instead, he activated his title of the child of the plane. If it is a fight that they want, it is a fight that they will get. He felt his existence and located the connection between him and the plane. He sent his wishes through that connection. The Will of the plane responded immediately and positively.

The air became charged immediately. The wind tingled the skin. A low current went through every battle sage monkey present in the world fragment. They felt a shock that made them shudder involuntarily. It caused them to look around warily for what was amiss. 

All they felt is a sort of charge in the air which is becoming stronger and stronger. Every one of them can sense a storm coming. They can feel it in their bones and in the atmosphere. It is in the air and in their body. They can taste it as much as they can feel it. 

The current passing through everyone left their body with a sudden jerk. It was like something was pulled out of them. They felt weakened as if they lost some of their strength due to low stamina. It is a feeling that those with soul-bodies shouldn't feel since they have unlimited Stamina. 

Meanwhile, a thin golden thread flew out of their body and rushed towards Soverick. It looks like a ray of light left their bodies and converged on Soverick. His Aura began to rise. His very presence began to pressure everything around him. The ground he is standing on flattened as gravity increased and pressed down on it.

The same thing happened in the realm of high heaven but on a much larger scale. Everyone that was born in the Virut plane felt the pull and they instinctively knew which direction the pull is from. They also know the source of the pull and to whom what is being pulled out of them is sent to.

They don't know what the pull is for or why it happened but they suddenly became aware of something connected to them far away. This phenomenon happened to every entity that was born in the Virut plane and is below the level of origin gods no matter where they are in the void universe.

They were all weakened slightly and what seemed to be golden rays of light left their bodies. The golden threads vary in size depending on the faith of the people in the child of the plane. The threads are thicker as long as they think he is strong and capable of protecting the plane. It gets thicker the more they are willing to support him and it becomes thicker the more they are willing to help the plane to thrive. 

Those are the three factors that determine the quality of their contribution to him. Strength, Support, and Survival of the plane. The child of the plane must be strong. They must believe he is capable of protecting the plane. They must be willing to support him for the survival of the plane.

Some threads are tiny and weak while some are thick and strong. It all depends on the three factors. His strength, their support for him, and their support for the plane. But no matter what, everyone that was born in the Virut plane will contribute something regardless of their feelings towards him. All these threads combined in him instantly.

The people in the arena felt a sudden pull on them and turned to look at him while the people in the Virut plane looked toward the sky at him. They all saw a golden lightning bolt descend from the sky and hit him. The golden threads combined to form a cocoon of light around him. He was shining so brightly that they couldn't look at him directly.

Soverick was experiencing a series of changes. He had his eyes closed because he needed to concentrate on himself. He can't afford to let himself be distracted by external information through his eyes while a sudden influence is rampaging throughout his body. 

It is almost too much to control. The power is so much that he feels he can roar and kill everyone with just the sound of his roar. The power that has been bestowed onto him is not his. It is just being lent to him temporarily. That's why it is fighting his control.
