GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



The brand that marked Litori would have failed to make the connection between divine sense, soul, and body if she were a mana entity. Those parts of existence are still separate at the mana entity rank. Then the brand wouldn't resonate with the pillar which means she won't be able to enter the pillar.

The minimum requirement of transcendence to participate in the competition was not made on a whim. It is the minimum requirement to enter the competition ground through the pillar. Any mana entity that tries to worm its way into the competition will find it impossible to do.

Mihila sighed after seeing off her two kids. Then she turned to look at the other pillar within the city. That other pillar is restricted to a certain person. It is not for public use like the one that Ghaster and Litori just used. It is where Soverick should be.

She smiled as she thought of that particular child of hers. "What a troublesome child. He beat me. Hahahaha."

She began to laugh. She couldn't stop laughing as she thought about their fight. She returned to her house laughing and thinking about the fight.

Mihila has mixed feelings about Soverick. Soverick is eccentric. It is his normal behavior. He doesn't go by the common sense that bounds others. He is an outlier and she understands that. She also understands why they had to fight. It is because Soverick has no reason not to fight her. He just doesn't care.

He didn't fight her to gloat about his strength or to show off. He has had the power to beat her for a long time but he didn't seek her out. She came to him and they fought. He fought her because he wanted something from her and he didn't care about the repercussions of his action to her. He didn't care about the physical or emotional damage.contemporary romance

She understands all that but that doesn't mean she is happy about it. She is undoubtedly proud of her son. He is strong and doing well for himself. A child beating the parent is not a rare occurrence. It happens a lot and she had expected it. She didn't think it will happen so soon but she expected it and she is proud of Soverick for it. But while she is proud, she is also angry. She is not angry that they fought. She is angry that she lost.

She lost to her son. Another parent may become agitated or excited and decide to work harder so that they can catch up with their child, but Mihila can't do that. She knows that she is at the end of her road. There's no path forward for her. She can't catch up even if she tried.

To that, she just sighed and said, "That's just the way of the world. The new replaces the old."

The new replaces the old. The old should have the advantage of time but they can be overtaken by the young for different reasons, talent and luck being two of the major reasons. It all boils down to relevance. When someone or something stops advancing and loses superiority and relevance, they get replaced with something or someone more superior and more relevant.

In nature, it is the trend for newer better adapted species to overtake and eliminate older species. Bloodline has made it possible for better variants of a race to eliminate those without bloodlines. It is also normal for the young with bloodlines to perform better than their parents and ancestor. A race evolves and some things become easier to achieve for the younger generation due to the effort of the predecessors. 

But Age doesn't matter. The fact that you're younger doesn't give you an automatic advantage over the older generation. You have to have a better potential and the time for that potential to manifest. You can be killed off by the stronger older generation during that time.

No one can replace the realm lord no matter how young they are. They just don't have the superiority and excellence in everything that he possesses. It is not like he can be replaced no matter how excellent the younger generation is. But if it were possible for the realm lord to be replaced, no one can still come close to his brilliance no matter how young they are.

pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ Mihila can't make progress on the path of perfection anymore. So she will just have to settle with the knowledge that it is highly likely for Soverick to become stuck as a titan of law. She is intimately familiar with the obstacle she is facing as a titan of law and she knows how proud Soverick is. So it is highly likely that he will bite more than he can chew and become one of those talented fools who think they have what it takes to replace the realm lord.

She will go home and watch the live streaming of the competition through her entertainment and communication device. She could also watch it on the sky screen that the racial council has set up to display the competition but she wants the privacy of her own home. 

Back To Soverick.

He sat in front of the pillar as his eyes scanned through it over and over and over again. His four eyes are moving about quickly in different directions as if each one is chasing after a different erratic bug flying about in their vision. That might as well be what they are seeing. 

The pillar is a cylindrical object with a black material. But it doesn't look black. It looks like the various wavelengths of light that it reflects at that particular time. In other words, its colors are shifting constantly.

There are a lot of variables on the pillar. Even the runes engraved on it are constantly shifting. They wiggle, waggle, and stretch about causing their size, shape, and position to change. The only constant about the pillar is its overall size, dimensions, and volume. Its mass and volume change too.
