GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



He has all their attention. So he started speaking to them. "I suppose an introduction is in order."

An introduction is in order because he is not the same Soverick that began this competition with them. He has changed. He has become his real self. They will be facing his real self from now on and they should know that. Whatever they thought they should expect from him will be overhauled. They will be underestimating him terribly if they stick to his previous image. His previous self was nearly unstoppable. He is actually unstoppable right now.

"I am Soverick Ghastorix. I am the child of the plane." 

Everyone in the area for 100km heard him. He did not amplify his voice. No, his divine sense spread out that far to speak with them. That isn't the limit of his divine sense too. It is still spreading.

He said to them, "Today we have gathered here to judge me worthy." 

Then he began to laugh.

"Haha..." He laughed as everyone looked at him but he didn't care. 

He threw his head back and laughed. He found everything hilarious really. They couldn't do anything to him in the real world so they decided to use the opportunity when they have nothing to lose to clip his wings. They are weak and foolish. 

He knew they are weak and foolish. But he was wrong to ever consider them a threat to him. The difference between them has become stark now. That difference is so much that it is laughable that they ever challenged him. 

He resumed speaking with them after he was done laughing. "Imagine that. I am to be judged. It is funny, is it not? My accusers have come forward and they intend to judge me. Woe is me if they find me unworthy." He said with sarcasm.

He smiled now. His lips parted into a feral grin. His mood may be affected by the empowerment more than he expected but it is welcomed. He feels liberated and he feels happy. He didn't even know that he was sick before until his sickness was removed. How can he not be happy?

His smile and the accompanying emotions were transmitted to his audience. They know that he is happy bordering on the happiness of a drunk. They know that he thinks nothing of them. He thinks of this entire thing as a farce and he didn't hide his thoughts from them. 

He even said it out loud so that the people in the plane will hear him say it. "Who are these accusers of mine? What makes them worthy to judge me? ME!"

He became agitated as he spoke.

"Where were these accusers when I broke the blockade into the divine kingdom? Where were they when I led a million of my equals to battle a thousand times our numbers? Where were they when I brought the gods to their very knees?"

His voice rose in tandem with his agitation. He clenched his fist tightly and his eyes shine sharply. 

"I didn't become the child of the plane by chance. I wasn't bestowed the title by birthright. I wrought miracles with my very hands. I became the child of the plane because I beat 1 million others into submission. Then I led those 1 million to break our enemies."

His voice became calm and low. He said, "Do you know what we went through? Do you know how we fought? Do you know how long we fought? Do you know the pain we experienced? Do you?"

He paused to let his questions sink in. Then he gave them his answer. "Do you? I don't think you do. Because if you did, then we wouldn't be here. You got your Origin energy. And like some ungrateful mutt, you have come to bite the hand that fed you. You have come to judge me. Me of all people."

He thinks that they are sheep and he is a wolf. They are lucky that he chose to be their Shepard and protector, not their predator. Why would he give a fuck about their judgment? What does the opinion of sheep matter to a wolf? They will be delusional to believe that they have a hold on him and he wants them to know that.

He challenged them boldly, "Come at me. Come at me and test my mettle. Do you want to see if I am worthy? Come at me and see. Do you believe yourself worthy to be my accuser? Come at me and I'll show you what makes me worthy."

"WHO IS MY ACCUSER?" He asked them with a mighty shout.

His transmitted thoughts shifted from his confidence to his daring challenge. He wants his accuser to show their face. He wants them to come forward and state his transgressions. He dared them to come forward and he made it known in subtle undulations of his emotions that he will make them regret it. 

He is the child of the plane so he is the star of the plane. He earned it because he was the best. Now that he has become the child of the plane then he has the tools to become the mightiest. So he is the best and the mightiest. If you come close to the sun then you must be ready to get burned. If you get close to the sun with the intent to challenge it then you must be crazy.

His question is both a challenge and a threat. Who will step forward to accuse him in all his glory and power? Who will dare to when they know that the consequences of such an action will not be merciful? Who will admit publically that they tried to do something as crazy as challenging the sun?

"I am your accuser." Someone answered the call.

The crowd in that area stepped away from her immediately. They rushed to create distance between themselves and her. No one wants to be near her right now when the cross hairs of the child of the plane is focused on her.
