Versatile: Alternate World
551 Manifestation of Greed
In Alternate World, Mammon is the manifestation of greed. The embodiment of all evil thoughts that involve coveting money and otherworldly riches that everyone wanted to get in this world. In a sense, this is a sin that everyone had in their life. Even I are not safe from greed.
So that means the next weapon is the Weapon of the Greed Sin. In the past timeline, the Weapon of Greed didn't appear and is thought to be something that will never appear unless a certain condition has been met. But to think that the reason it didn't appear is that it has been staying inside the body of a Sea Worm of all things. Isn't it just quite ridiculous? There is no such thing such as crazy prerequisite quests needed to complete, you just needed to be lucky to find the Sea Worm who eat the weapon of greed that kept that weapon inside of it.
The moment I mentioned his name, Mammon who is just an unforeseen force earlier begins to materialize his little form. As expected of a greedy guy, he is very fat and although he wore royalty clothes, he looks really bad in them as his body is very bloated looking at him like this just hurts my eyes. I even thought of him to be the embodiment of Gluttony but perhaps they are exactly the same, with the only difference as Mammon likes riches and money while the Gluttony embodiment would like to keep eating and eating which would make sense for the embodiment of Gluttony.
Mammon frowned the moment I mentioned his name. After all, no one has seen Mammon's true form, and has been labeled as the greediest person who existed. After he disappeared, it was said that all of his treasures became cursed items and in fear, the people decided to throw all of them into the sea just to make sure no people become similar to Mammon. That's how iconic Mammon is even after he died.
And perhaps the reason the Weapon of Greed exists is that it was the culmination of all the treasures of Mammon's treasury that were thrown to the sea and are now in weapon form. I don't know really well about it but perhaps that is why the Manifestation of Greed is Mammon himself.
"Huh, so even the new generations still knew me. I am impressed. Usually, I would never bother listening to anyone other than my siblings but since you have one of my siblings, then perhaps we can be allies and conquer the world that is filled in sin?"
"No wonder they call you one of the worst people that existed back then. Just by my first impression, you already suck *ss. Gobu, Atlas, get ready. We are about to obliterate this f*cker out of this planet."
When Mammon heard that, it seems he didn't like the sound of my answer to him.
"Why are you rejecting my generosity!? Why is my sibling unresponsive? What is going on? What have you done?"
I quickly understood what he is going on immediately.
"Gobu! Atlas, carry her out of here, I will take care of this!"
Atlas and Gobu nodded, knowing that I am aware of what I am about to do. They quickly turned around and escaped while I stayed behind and ready my Versatile Weapon. Mammon is grabbing his head and is screaming while keeping on saying "My sibling" multiple times. If my assumption is correct, the sibling he keeps on talking about is the other six sins. Since he was the manifestation of greed, the other sin is his siblings in a sense.
"Why is my sibling keeping quiet? Aren't humans supposed to be controlled by our powers? Why can you control the power of my sibling and yet you don't appear to be controlled?! Why?!"
As much as he keeps whining, I have enough of his bullsh*try. I don't care if he wanted to keep on talking about stuff, I don't need to see his ugly face anymore. He is just a manifestation of greed. Who would even miss him if he is gone? Definitely not me.
"Although you are already dead, you shall die!"
I attacked Mammon, preparing to cut off Mammon in half, however, Mammon immediately dodges, making my swing miss, But since I can damage him with my Versatile Weapon, there is no doubt that this guy can be destroyed in the process.
"If my sibling does not control you, then I will forcefully awaken my sibling and make you submit!"
Just like that, Mammon started to grow in size, his manifestation isn't just some kind of hologram, his body has solidified and he became a giant... with a giant stomach which looks gross especially since the stomach is kinda semi-transparent and there seems to be something moving around it. His body is also got adorned with multiple accessories that I can easily tell to be really expensive if bought with money. But even though he was adorned by them, he still looks disgusting.

Level:???
HP: ??????/??????
Traits: Evil
Damn, question marks again. This guy has a lot of HP for the system to label its question marks. I would gladly fight a monster with a hundred million HP anytime but an enemy with a Question Mark HP bar is just annoying. It either means this f*cker is unkillable, a certain process needed to remove the question marks, or maybe just reduce its HP as long as you can and see whether the question marks will slowly turn to numbers...
"Using my power as the manifestation of greed, I will declare that you are destined to die, buried under the gold!"
He then began throwing gold coins. As much as that sounds real good, my situation is not good. Because the gold coins are not something I can just clasp in my hands, in fact, they are too big in size. One single coin is enough to crush me flat. I didn't stay there standing and started running as I try to get closer to Mammon. I changed the Versatile Weapon's form and changed it to a dual gun.
There are two things I can think of defeating Mammon. One is to get near him and attack his stomach multiple times and burst him and although that would look disgusting, I don't think I would think too much about it. The second is to reach the Weapon of Greed itself. I don't know what is the form of the Weapon of Greed but I can see it as either a staff or a sword though I am more inclined to be the former than the latter.
The weapon of greed is currently behind the giant Mammon and the only thing I can do is to move past him, find a good way to sneak past him, or burst his stomach in one go. Gold coins continue to drop as Mammon continue to throw off the gold to me which is very dangerous as there are lots of gold coins falling and there is only one slight gap of time to dodge them and with one mistake, I would get squashed by them in just a matter of seconds.
I started shooting at Mammon's stomach. I can easily tell the bullets are just bouncing off meaning they don't do anything aside from hitting and then falling off after. It was like the stomach of Mammon is made of rubber. This is very annoying.
After several dodges, I managed to get out of the range of the gold coins. Changing the weapon form to a hook and chain, I throw it to Mammon and climbed using its function to pull me to where the hook landed.
"Hoho, nice job getting into my body, little boy, but unfortunately, that also means I can easily squish you like an ant you are."
Mammon proceeds to slap down his palms. It's only a split second and I easily avoided them but I can tell that I am not safe staying at Mammon's body as I can easily get squashed but I have no choice I if I want to get to his weapon and devour it.
Wait...
Perhaps the reason Mammon is detecting the sibling he keeps on mentioning is that my Versatile Weapon devoured the Weapons of Pride. Since it was busy controlling the king of the Insect Kingdom, the embodiment of Pride did not appear. And since I forcefully devoured the weapon from the hands of the insect king, the embodiment of pride disappeared. And with the Versatile Weapon devouring the Weapons of Pride, that also means the embodiment of Pride has already been digested.
In short, the sibling Mammon is trying to awaken is already dead and the only thing left behind is the powers of the dead embodiment. If that is the case, the only way for me to do this is to reach to the weapon itself and had the Shadow Dragon devour it. I can easily picture the Versatile Weapon's shadow dragon liking it.
Okay, that's it. Time to feed!
