GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1019 Brain Vs Brawn.

Fenrir doesn't know what to say. He has only heard about Origin weapons from the other representatives of the fountain of life. He has never needed one and they are also expensive to buy so he has not gotten one. 

He is largely ignorant of them which is understandable since only wood elves are capable of producing Origin weapons. Warrogs don't even have the legacy for ordinary spells. Where will they get the knowledge to forge Origin weapons or the Origin energy needed to forge them? They don't even have mana weapons yet and they have ample mana around them. 

His silence irked her. It isn't what she wants right now.

"Answer me." She shouted at him. "Give me an explanation now."

He was forced back after she got in his face and pushed him. There is no doubt that she is desperate for an explanation. She must get it or she will take out her frustration on him.

He almost roared back at her. Her behavior is disrespectful to him. It is a challenge that he ought to beat down. But he is not a reckless youth anymore. 

"Let me ask the fountain of life." He said to appease her.

He could also ask the demon god and the Vampires. They surely know why someone as powerful as her is unable to break down their gate crafted with the concept of unbreakable defense. This gate is what one will call a top-grade artifact. It is something that needs an Origin god to make. It is more powerful than the high-grade artifact that the Sovereigns that the first Star Nova killed possessed. 

While everyone was distracted by the effect and power of the Star Nova, the demon god noticed other things. Those things are hidden and largely inconsequential even if noticed. What the demon god noticed is that the Origin artifacts that the Sovereigns were wearing were not destroyed. 

The Sovereigns and their artifacts whether defensive or offensive were absorbed by the Star Nova. The Sovereigns died due to the pressure and heat. They tried and failed to resist with their concepts but the difference in power was too much. Their existence was overwhelmed so they died but their artifacts remained. Those artifacts were then scattered during the explosion. 

It is understandable that they will be missed. After all, there was the blinding light, the thundering bang, and the blast of heat to look at. The tiny artifacts that looked like debris were easily missed. But the demon god noticed that they were ejected outwards from the explosion and that they were the same ones that the Sovereigns had. 

That led to the conclusion that they didn't need to fight the child of the plane. At least, not right now when she doesn't even have any Authority or concept. If she can't destroy high-grade Origin artifacts then it is highly unlikely that she will be able to damage a top-grade artifact that contains a concept. 

Of course, she will become stronger in time when she comprehends laws. She will become terrifying even. But until then, they are safe from her. They will have time to make more targeted attacks that will capitalize on her weakness.

Word came from the fountain of life shortly after. Fenrir relayed them to the frustrated child of the plane. The information contained a lot of knowledge but not one solution to her current dilemma. 

"This is nonsense." She yelled in frustration. "What is the fountain of life up to? Why did she let this happen?"

Emperor Rinoz was about to lose her mind because she didn't know what was going on. The news she heard isn't good though. They were informed fully about what Origin artifacts are. But knowing something doesn't mean that she will be able to overcome it. 

Origin artifacts are fragments of origin gods. They are like the body parts of Origin gods. This is true because Origin gods are not living things. They are immortals. 

Origin gods have been forged through the path of perfection into becoming a concept. They are entities that have fused with concepts. They have to show their mortal forms within the realm. It is because of the suppression on them. 

Without the suppression, Origin gods will be revealed to be more of manifestations of concepts than living things. Some of them are weapons and some of them are destruction made incarnate. But they are not living things. 

Rinoz heard more from the fountain of life. She found that despite having the power output equivalent to those of Origin gods, she can't kill them without a concept of her own. She didn't know this earlier because she has never fought an Origin god. It is understandable since she was in hiding most of her life. 

If she did fight an Origin god, she would find out that she can defeat them here in the plane where they are suppressed but she can't kill them. She won't be able to capture them and neither would she be able to kill them. It is because raw power is not everything. It is the difference between special attacks that target a weakness and an attack that plays to the strength of the target. 

Fenrir remained silent in the face of her frustrated yells. He simply shook his head inwardly and lamented, "The downfall of pride. Maybe wisdom is more important than brawn."

Rinoz has a lot of brawn but very little wisdom on how to use it effectively. It is not her fault. She is young and their race is ignorant. Unfortunately, she and them don't know better. 

Brute force is great to have, but it is not good to use brute force blindly. It is why tree cutters don't try to fall a tree or chop wood with a club. They use a sharp object that can amplify their strength. 

Transcendents can be killed with brute force. Their soul body can be forced to undergo energy and matter transformations beyond their limit by overwhelming their existence with power. But that isn't efficient.
