GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

contemporary romance



Attacking the first Sage wouldn't end well anyway. The two of them have fought before, and it was a draw. The serpentine world knows that the two of them were holding back during that fight. He had thought he had the upper hand though. But now he is not so sure. The Sage might have been playing him then so that he wouldn't look like a threat.

'Now I am second-guessing myself. Fuck that snake.'

He turned his eyes to the first Sage as the anger boiled within him. Recent events have shown that everything is not as it seems. He can't be sure about anything until it has been confirmed. Even then, it might have an ulterior purpose. It is making him unsure of himself, and he hates that. He is very angry at the Sage because of it. He would like to fight the Sage to the death here and now just to be sure of who is stronger between the two of them. He would like to know for sure whose world is larger and whose Will is more powerful.

He is a world god, and he has never heard of a king of law capable of looking upon the law of order of a world god. So it can not be a coincidence that such a being just happens to exist when there is such a bet between two world gods of two different races with a very heavy stake. 

Something like Soverick doesn't exist in nature. That means Soverick was engineered for this very purpose. Meanwhile, he doesn't have anything secret planned or a trump card to win the competition. All he had and still has are his paragons.

Now Soverick has gained access to the core of an arena. He can do a lot with that. For starters, he can convert all the crowns except the divine crown into Emperor crowns. Imagine that? Now the battle sage monkeys will have 117 Emperor crowns at their disposal while his side will have just 2. 

He has faith in his paragons. Having an emperor crown is not nearly enough to match a paragon, but 117 people who have the highest level of assistance from the world fragment is too much for the rest of the Vipers.

'I can't believe I mocked him for having only one champion. Now the jokes on me.'

He didn't prepare because he thought it was a simple competition. The three challenges before were just preparation, and they didn't matter much. That's why he let the Sage design the first three challenges while he took care of the fourth challenge. He didn't care that the Sage got to prepare three challenges while he only prepared one because he thought the fourth one was the most important one while the first three were fake preparatory challenges.

He was right about that, at least. The first Sage used the first three challenges to prepare for something. It is apparent that the Sage put a lot of thought and consideration into his own section. All of the first Sage's preparation is now coming to bear fruit. Meanwhile, the things he planned for the fourth challenge are definitely not enough now. 

He thought that the fourth challenge was the main challenge since it was the challenge that would determine the outcome of their bet, so he designed it to be favorable to his Vipers. He just didn't expect 117 emperor crowns and the 10 king-level lieutenants that would come with each Emperor crown. Who could have expected such an overkill? Certainly not him. I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

The only reason why Soverick can't make all the other crowns divine crowns is that he can't. The world fragment can only support the assistance up to the emperor level. It was the first Sage that introduced the divine crown into the system. The serpentine world god didn't care when the Sage set the power of the divine crown to be the sum total of the other crowns. 

He didn't think much about it because the highest amplification it can provide is up to the level of a paragon, and both sides were supposed to have a divine crown. That will change now that Soverick can upgrade the other crowns. 

Both sides will have the same divine crown, but one side will have 117 Emperor crowns as the base of its strength, and the other will have 2 emperor crowns or less. That means Soverick's divine crown will be several times more powerful than the divine crown of the Vipers.

pandasnovel.com Unlike the other crowns that are part of the world, the divine crown is an external item that was plugged into the world fragments. So it cannot be changed even with administrator privileges of the arenas. Its function is already set. Now he knows that the Sage made it that way so that none of them can tamper with it. If not, he will try something right now and be willing to pay the price to change its function. 

'I must remove that Soverick no matter the outcome of this competition. He is a thorn in my side, and it will hurt the cunning Sage.' the serpentine world god promised himself.

The serpentine world god directed his anger at Soverick. He will make Soverick pay for the pain and trouble that he has gone through instead of the Sage. If his suspicion about the Sage being capable of predicting every situation is right, then it will not be a good idea to target the Sage. 

A world god is supposed to be immune to scrying of any kind. Even origin gods are highly resistant to scrying. Scrying a world god is to scry the different things that make up their world, including all the living things within them. It should be impossible to do, and any person that attempts it should receive a backlash for it. 

The backlash is so powerful that it can be likened to colliding with a world god. Origin gods that attempt it die straightway while world gods get injured. So if the Sage managed to do it, then he should not be messed with.

Soverick, on the other hand, is a very easy target. Soverick's death won't even cost him much effort to execute, so he will kill the child of the Virut plane even if the Vipers win this bet.
