GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 827 There Is No Crime Without Law.

Everyone entered the ships, all except Guntu. He has to stay back until his punishment has been completed. He watched all of them leave with a sour expression. Some of the origin gods looked back at him with pitiful gazes or mocking gazes as they boarded the ships. The ships lit up with sparks of blue lightning then they zipped away in a flash of light. A thunderclap was left in their wake. The shockwaves stirred the void energy and smashed into Guntu's sour face.

He sighed and said in regret. "Ahh. And I wanted to go on the first ride. I wanted to see how powerful they are."

This is the first time that those ships will be used. They were prepared for this special occasion. The Ghastorix family used to use less powerful ships before. Ancestor Ghastorix has been very busy with his world so he didn't bother to make one until Hadrick was to come. He then made time out of his busy schedule to make them.

This was to be their first use and he is missing it all because he told Hadrick what was so important about her. It wasn't his fault either. She was the one asking all the questions so he told her about the world engine, the other fragments of the realm heart, and her usefulness in all of it. Now he is being punished for being obedient.

"I'll miss the fighting and the pillaging," He grumbled to himself.

"On the bright side, I only have to kill 20 origin gods." He cheered up and decided to complete his punishment as soon as possible. He disappeared as he flew away to find some poor unfortunate origin gods.

The Ghastorix family in the upper realm is a war band. That's a nice way of saying that they are pirates. They have also been called a gang too. They go around fighting, killing, and robbing people of their wealth.

But they have never been called criminals. That will imply that what they are doing is illegal or a crime. There are no laws in the upper realm so you can't break any laws. What laws are you going to create that will dissuade an immortal?

What they are doing is just a hobby. It actually started because Ancestor Ghastorix is a battle maniac. He likes to fight but fights are expensive. Origin gods need origin essence or soul stones in order to reform their existence as soon as possible when they die. The cost of the resurrection is higher the stronger they are and the faster they want to resurrect.

An origin god that is about to become a world god needs a ton of resources to resurrect and their resurrection will take a very long time. So ancestor Ghastorix decided to earn money with his fighting. He was already fighting everyone that he meets, he might as well earn something too. That isn't illegal. It is turning a hobby into a profitable business venture. If there is any crime here, it is the crime of passion.

The Ghastorix family steals and pillages, but that doesn't mean that they will be okay with it when someone tries to steal from them. The attempt to steal Lady Hadrickomanikai from them will be answered with great retribution. It is not an obligation for them to seek revenge. It is an opportunity for them to fight. It is something that both Ghastorix and his descendants are always craving.

Ghastorix didn't force his descendants into fighting and robbing with him. His descendants joined him in it on their own because they are all restless troublemakers who love to have fun and fight people or play pranks and tricks on people. That's how the war band was formed.

His descendants don't need to fear him anymore since he is an origin god just like them but they do because they of all people know about his dogged determination and his love for battles. Take Guntu's punishment for example. He has been asked to go and kill 20 origin gods in 20 years. It was reduced from 100 origin gods in 100 years.

Fighting is fun normally but it becomes a chore when it is too much and it is forced upon you. That is the punishment. Too much of anything is bad and it gets bad quickly when you're not interested in it. He can refuse to kill those 20 people but Ancestor Ghastorix will come after him and kill him for as many people as he failed to kill past the time limit. If he fails to kill 6 less origin god by the time 20 years is over then he will be hunted by ancestor Ghastorix until he has been killed 6 times.

There have been rebellions against his tyranny. It is to be expected since his descendants are rule breakers too and are very determined. His descendants have banded together many times to try and kill him in return. They sought to teach him a lesson by letting him have a taste of his own medicine. contemporary romance

They soon understood why he is the original owner of the concept of heavenly punishment. His fusion of lightning and destruction is unparalleled. It is all fun and games when he uses the blue form of his concept but that changes when his concept switches to its black form.

Pure destruction lightning is one hell of a beast to contend with. Ghastorix becomes terrifying when you add in immortality and his unparalleled determination. You will have to call for a truce after a million years of constant fighting.

The golden form of his concept on the other hand is what he used to become a world god. It is the Supreme form of his lightning. It is literally world-destroying lightning. Some call it heavenly lightning but there is nothing heavenly about it. It is better off being called abyssal lightning because it causes terror and despair with the calamity that it created as if it came from the deepest abyss.
