GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 828 Ghastorix Gang.

It's all good though. The members of their family fight. That's why they are together. Ghastorix will fight anyone including them if given the chance. They understand him and he understands them. They followed him because they respect him, because they have fun with him, and because he makes them rich.

Their violent behavior has given their war band a terrifying reputation in the upper realm. They get paid with money as soon as they show up to a place. So they don't have to fight to get resources anymore. It's why they are called a gang since they collect protection fees from others now. That reinforced the willingness of his descendants to stay in the war band.

Ghastorix has become a world god and Hadrick has joined them too. The level of their war band has increased. It is a good thing for the members. They have a world god to themselves now. That means that they will get richer and their path to becoming world gods has been opened too. They just have to meet the requirements for a supreme law.

Many Origin gods will give their all to be part of the war band. They will give up their wealth and kill as many people as needed to have the assistance of a world god. World gods are so rare and the ones that appear don't care about Origin gods. They are self-sufficient and all-powerful. That's why so many Origin gods will jump at the chance to have the world god owe them a favor by participating in the era of conquest. So killing 20 Origin gods is a mild cost to pay for Guntu to remain within the good graces of his ancestor.

Back To The Dark Side Of The Universe.

There was a competition. It was to test a project. The competition went well without a hitch. The realm lord was happy and satisfied with how well it did. The participants from the Virut plane were satisfied too. The first sage was very happy with it. Soverick didn't regret participating in it. The only ones that were not satisfied with the competition are the side that lost. Most disgruntled above all else is the serpentine world god.

Deep within the dark side is a bubble of space. The serpentine world god is dwelling in this space with a physical manifestation. He is busy working on something right now. He has been busy ever since the end of the competition. He can't afford to be relaxed and lazy now that he has been taken for everything he had. He has to fight and he has to build stuff.

He is building a sword. He isn't forging it like a blacksmith would forge a sword from metal. There is no beating of heated metal into shape with a hammer. He is building the sword like one will construct a house. The various components are in different sizes and shapes. They come together around the core of a star. The star is dead since it was ripped out from the law matrix but its core still contains a lot of power that can be used as the core for this sword.

The sword is a beautiful work of art. It is like pieces of a puzzle being meticulously assembled. It can cut through a plane when it is completed. He is making a lot more of it to empower the inhabitants of his world. They are going on a world war against the world of another world god so they need to have top-notch weapons.

This weapon has to be appreciated as its worth can be gauged at a glance. Unfortunately, its crafter is not in an artsy mood. He doesn't care about how the sword looks or how pretty or how powerful it looks. The serpentine world god is on a war path. He is moody and stewing silently as his numerous arms moved about to construct the sword.

He lost that competition badly. He lost so badly that he didn't gain anything out of it. They say what doesn't kill someone makes them stronger. That will imply that they learned something from the bad experience and became better for it. The serpentine world god has not become stronger. He didn't learn anything useful from the loss other than the sage is a terrifying schemer. But that isn't going to help him one bit in defeating the first sage.

The sage even cheated him out of the reason why he decided to test the project for the realm lord. So he lost the competition, his wealth, and the slots into the realm lord's project. He would have been better off not even bothering about helping the realm lord at all. As if that isn't enough, the sage also shared the news of his defeat far and wide. So he lost his honor too. He became an all-around loser.

"To think I have been humiliated to this extent." He said angrily through gritted teeth.

His ordeal is very shameful. It is a blemish that will never be cleaned from his life. He lost badly and lost enough to become broke. It even got worse when the sage spread lies that he failed to kill the champion of the Virut plane. He knows for sure that he killed that stupid Soverick. He used the physical manifestation of his law to tear Soverick apart and he felt it happen too.

There's no way Soverick can come back out of that unless he is an origin god. He also confirmed that he killed Soverick when he couldn't sense that fragment of his law of order anymore. Soverick has truly disappeared from his radar so he must be dead.

He told people that but no one believed him. No one believes him. They think he is trying to lessen his shame. It really is shameful that a world god will fail to kill a king of law so it is not a wonder why they would think that he is trying to reduce his shame.
