GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1014 The Third Great War.

Even if all the Warrog paragons congregate here and join her army, she will only have a few tens of million soldiers at most. But that won't happen because the nameless still have to be protected. So about ten million paragons will come. That means, at best, they will be able to match the Emperiti Primogenitor in quantity. As for quality, they are sorely lacking in that aspect. 

Millions of transcendents can't compare to a handful of Sovereigns. The Emperiti Primogenitor doesn't have a handful of Sovereigns. She has tens of thousands. Their hope can only be placed on Rinoz and her strength. Hopefully, that will be enough for their victory.

War has erupted in full swing. The wood elves are calling it the third great war for the liberation of the plane. It began with a sudden attack by the Vampires on the surface. The vampires have retreated, but it is the turn of the wood elves to press the offensive. This wave of offense is being led by the child of the plane. She ran with millions of Warrogs to assault the devil's pit. Her aim is clear to everyone. She met resistance as soon as she got there.

-----

She arrived during the day, so the Familiars were the first to face her. The gate of the devil's pit was opened, and thousands of Sovereigns came out to fight her. They flew out of the devil's pit as soon as the alert went up about her presence. They were ready for her attack, so they weren't caught unprepared. Besides, it is very difficult not to notice the rising of the sun in a plane that has been dark for millions of years.

The day became brighter the closer she got to the devil's pit. Her entire body lit up the dim day and chased away the darkness. That is a glaring and obvious hint announcing her presence. The Sovereigns attacked in carefully formed formations. That was their mistake. She howled at them. Her jaw opened wide, and a tiny ball of light was ejected out of her mouth.

It was as if she had shot a shooting star with her mouth. The star flew at a very fast speed. It seemed it had simply blinked to its target. Then it hovered in front of the Sovereigns. They had put up shields because they expected a collision and a subsequent explosion. 

The collision they expected didn't happen. Instead, they felt a force pulling them toward the star. The small bright star exerted a pulling force on everything around it. It caused everything to levitate and fly towards it.

Stones and rocks were the first to be levitated, followed by the soil of the ground itself. The wind picked up as air was pulled too. The pulling force increased in range and power too quickly. The Sovereigns were caught off guard despite their preparation. 

Their shields weren't helping at all. They were being pulled with their shields too. They tried to resist by summoning the creatures they were bonded with, but nothing helped. Anything and everything within the range of the pulling force was drawn into the small star.

The star was getting bigger as it assimilated everything it managed to suck into itself. It was growing stronger every moment it remained in existence. Non-living things like soil and rocks strengthened it just as living things like the Sovereigns and their summons. Anything would strengthen the star as long as it had energy and mass within it. Even the surrounding air and mana were capable of strengthening it.

The grip of the star on its surroundings increased exponentially. It experienced a jump in strength whenever a Sovereign was absorbed. The star became so powerful that a sort of whirlpool formed around it. The whirlpool was formed mainly by the air. The air howled and screamed as it was ripped away from the world into the star.

"So beautiful," Fenrir said as he gazed at the faraway destruction being wreaked.

The star had become brighter and bigger. The light it was producing had turned from red to yellow. All in all, it looked beautiful despite the havoc and destruction it was wreaking.

Rinoz smirked and remarked, "And also deadly."

The now yellow star reached its limit, and then it exploded. There was a very loud bang. It forcefully ejected all the energy within it after reaching critical mass. Everything within the range of its pulling force and some distance beyond was decimated immediately. The explosion caused the air to expand rapidly, which led to the creation of a shockwave.

The shockwave was so loud that it traveled to the far edges of the plane where it could be heard. So, everyone must have heard the bang that it produced. It also produced a bright light that shone onto the entire plane. A large pillar of smoke rose up into the sky from the explosion site. People could see and feel the effects of the explosion from thousands of kilometers away.

"That is very deadly," Fenrir said in admiration.

"Are you jealous that your divine ability can't do that?" Rinoz asked with a grin.

"I can't be jealous of anything about you if I want to remain sane. We are not the same," he said to her while still looking at the destruction that has been wrought.

There is another crater now beside the crater that leads down to the devil's pit. This crater is much deeper despite being smaller. It is also lined with red-hot molten rock. It makes it look like the opening of a volcano. It is a sight to marvel at. Rinoz achieved it with her Origin energy empowered divine ability and the other perks that she has.

He said to her in excitement, "If you can dish out this much firepower, then we might just win this."

"Don't worry. We are going to win this," she said confidently. "There is nothing that can stop me. We shall trample every obstacle that stands in our way of Victory."
