GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

It should be impossible for a mana entity this young to have a domain this strong. Ode was perplexed about it and many others, but the only thing he could say was, "You're not normal. You're abnormal."

Soverick had gone from a being without mana in his body to a being who could command mana as no other mana entity could. Maybe the theory that the racial council had found a way to make a mana entity look like a vitality core stage refiner is true.

Soverick said. "Obviously I am not normal. Now let me show you how to do it properly. Nullification."

The world froze, including Ode. Then the world of mana retracted all of a sudden and fused with Soverick.

Ode didn't understand what was going on before Soverick pounced at him with his weapon ready. Ode materialized an axe to deflect the attack. The axe materialized above his head. His two arms grabbed it and swung it with all his might.

His massive axe met the spear and it slipped ineffectively away from the spear like water on an oily surface. The spear slipped through his barriers and into his chest. Then there was an explosion as Soverick detonated the fire mana he had embedded into the spear. Ode's chest was blasted apart and his body was broken into two. His upper chest with his head was propelled a distance from his lower body.

The reason for his loss came to him as he lay there on the ground with his head and half a torso. He had lost all his momentum. All that momentum he was siphoning earlier hadn't helped him one bit. More like his momentum was nullified.

He wasn't dead yet but he had already lost the will to battle. He could still heal from the damage if given time and ample mana but Soverick wouldn't allow that. The major thing that discouraged him is the fact that a young mana entity had seen his technique, corrected it, and improved on it. Then he went on to defeat him with it.

"To seek to control the world is difficult. It is the domain of titans of law and they aren't even good at it. Only Sovereigns can control world power perfectly. It is better to start with controlling yourself and everything that comes in contact with you." Soverick said to the helpless mana entity by his feet.

Ode spoke. "I see."

"You overstepped your bounds. It would have been alright if you were at least transcendent but you have fallen so low. This technique might have made you victorious in the past but that is all in the past. You're Former Greatness now."

"Maybe it is time for the era of the gods to end." He admitted.

"Then be on your way," Soverick said before destroying the head of the former god-king.

His spear impaled the skull and exploded it. The body of his dead opponent disintegrated into energy and understanding. Soverick took them and began to ascend towards the star in the sky.

The energy he got wasn't bad but it is largely useless to him. The understanding was completely useless. He had already acquired up to the 5th step of Mastery. The unique thing that the god-king knew was his Nullification field, but Soverick had acquired that before his death.

Soverick had been capable of imitating techniques and skills that he saw as a vitality core stage refiner. Now that his eyesight has improved and he can see more, he can do better than imitate. He can figure out the weaknesses of what he sees and improve on them.

The god-king had created a field around him that froze everything. He could move through it but it's like walking through an ice block, so he was slow.

Soverick had made the field into a thin barrier around him that froze what he came in contact with instead. The barrier can be shifted around. For example, he could simply coat his weapon with it.

"You had better be worth it." He said as he touched the dungeon core.

His divine sense sunk into it. He saw the first stage and the middle stages. They weren't things he can't see on his own. The surprising thing that he couldn't see with his eyes is where the souls of the gods are contained within the dungeon core. The gods were in a mental and virtual world where they could live in peace and enjoy themselves while the dungeon uses them as blueprints.

"So this is how the vestiges are formed." He observed casually.

Copies were made of the trapped souls and used as opponents in the middle stage. Only the celestial gods were real. As he was looking through the dungeon core a mighty will reached out to him.

"Hello, Soverick. Or should I say Legion?"

Soverick immediately recognized the owner of the voice. There were very few people who could know his real identity as Legion. He had also heard this voice several times in the past as Gehaldirah.

He bowed his head and said. "Greetings to mother high heaven."

An indistinct figure appeared before him. He froze when he laid eyes on her. His mind was filled with so much information that his very soul stalled. Then it resumed a second after and he resumed his actions. The things he saw almost ruined his mind but he survived thanks to his immortal soul.

Mother high heaven didn't seem bothered by what he might have seen about her. "Hmm. You have reached this point. So you get to choose."contemporary romance

Then she presented him with the options. The first one is to preserve the gods. The gods will become landed gods with freedom and power but without their divine kingdoms where they have absolute sovereignty and safety. He would become the new Godking of the gods. He would get power.

"If you chose this option, you will be undefeatable in the lower planes considering the power of your soul. You also won't be suppressed like the other origin gods. It is not a bad option." Mother high heaven said.
