GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 980 The Plan For Ragnarok: Light Side.

Origin Energy was supposed to seduce Ragnarok since it would make him very powerful quickly. After all, from what the fountain of life knows about his divine ability, he should be able to devour Origin energy to grow stronger when he becomes a transcendent.

It was expected that Ragnarok would be resisted to becoming someone else's subordinate especially since he is a paragon and an Omega at that. His apparent thirst for power, selfishness, and greediness were supposed to overcome his unwillingness to become the fountain of life's subordinate in such a short amount of time. 

Unlike Fenrir who was too loyal to his race until death threatened to take him, Ragnarok has shown that he has no ounce of loyalty to his race. Hence it should be easy for him to accept the fountain of life even though it is the one responsible for the loss of the Warrogs in the ancient world wars, their subsequent curse which crippled their divine ability, and the many years of suppression that followed. 

It was a great plan. The fountain of life had thought about everything. Unfortunately, the dark side interrupted the process of initiation. 

The fountain of life promised, "If I can't have him then no one will."

The fight for the plane is a tussle between the two biggest investors and the will of the plane. Everyone else is a pawn for them to use. The fountain of life wanted to claim Ragnarok as its champion just as the demon god wished to do too. 

That's why despite being informed of Ragnarok's position in real time, the fountain of life didn't move to kill him. And despite knowing that Xigger was coming, it was unwilling to kill Ragnarok. But now that its plans have backfired and failed, it will have to make sure that Ragnarok cannot be used against it.

The ignorant Xigger found his son soon after. Ragnarok was running for his life as fast as he could but 3 hours was not nearly enough to create a large enough distance to escape. Not since Xigger is more than 4 times faster than him. He would be also found easily in this arctic environment even if he escaped. 

Xigger called out to his son. "Wait Ragnarok. I have come to save you."

Ragnarok sighed and stopped running. He didn't stop because his father asked him to. He doesn't believe a vampire is here to save him. He stopped because he knows he can't escape. Since escaping is futile, he got ready to talk to avoid death or fight if it becomes necessary. When flight fails, then it is time to switch to fight.

Xigger stopped a short distance from him. The two of them stood in the air surrounded by a world of white and icy wind.

"Do you really care about me?" He asked Xigger.

"Yes, I do. I care about you a lot. I want to protect you. I couldn't protect your brothers and your sisters. I failed my pack and your mother. But I don't want to fail you. Trust me. I only mean well."

Ragnarok asked skeptically, "So you are not angry about me killing you earlier?"

Xigger shook his head. "Why will I be angry? You did the right thing to prioritize the pack over a stranger who calls himself your father. I am also immortal. Look at me. I am whole again. And I am even stronger than ever before even though I have died several times since you killed me."

"I see. Then I want to ask you to leave me alone. I can take care of myself. If you really care about me then you will leave me alone." He said.

Xigger refused immediately. "I am sorry but I cannot do that. I have to protect you which means that I have to take you away now. There are wood elves coming after you right now. You are not safe at all and I cannot let you go knowing that."

Ragnarok considered what his father said and his own situation. He considered if he should accept this offer for protection from Xigger despite his lack of trust. He doesn't want to accept Xigger but he doesn't have a choice. 

That's the situation of the weak. He is not strong enough to escape and neither can he reject Xigger. He doesn't know if his father is lying to him about the wood elves but he does know that Xigger can do anything to him regardless of his opinions on the matter.

"Please. Let me protect you. Give me the chance to show you how much I care." Xigger pleaded.

Ragnarok sighed. He was about to agree when he stiffened again. He sensed danger again. But he didn't run. In fact, he doesn't know what to do. One thing is sure though. Running won't help him.

He asked Xigger, "Ok. Be honest with me. What is it that you want with me? You are stronger than me so there's no need to mess with me like this. Why are you playing these games with me?"

He honestly doesn't understand what Xigger is up to. Xigger is already here and he is stronger than him. Xigger can surely catch him and take him away. So he doesn't understand why Xigger will come with hundreds of Vampires to surround him. 

He is currently surrounded in every direction and they are closing in on him. He can't run away at all.

Xigger on the other hand displayed a look of confusion. He asked, "What is going on here?"

Ragnarok scoffed. "Now I know you're toying with me. Vampires can be sadistic but this is taking it too far. I know I am not strong enough to warrant this much manpower so they must be here for something else. Don't pretend anymore because I can sense them. The jig is up. I know you are up to something."

Xigger must have thought that he wouldn't be able to sense the vampires until they were too close to him but he is much stronger than that. He sensed the Vampires from more than 10 kilometers away.
