GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

785 The Death Of Soverick Ghastorix.



Life moved on after this. The conflict around the tower of trials has been quelled. Plots were allocated based on performance in the competition and based on luck in the lottery. People trained and prepared for the next competition. Everything seemed to be going well as it should. The only one worried about something going wrong was the first sage. 

Back To When The Battle Finished.

The world spirit sent a message to everyone still present. 

"Congratulations on winning the fourth and final challenge. Your scores and your rankings have been tallied. As promised, the best 10,000 will get a plot around the tower of trials in the Virut plane. The higher your rank, the closer you will be to the tower of trials and the higher the concentration of origin energy."

"As for the rest, only the best 10% of the 3 million that participated in the fourth challenge will get the recommendation of the racial council to fulfill the requirements for adulthood. You can always try again during the next competition if you didn't manage to get what you wanted. Congratulations again on your victory and goodbye to you."

They all began to disappear. This time they aren't being healed and put into stasis, they are all being teleported out of the world fragment and back to their plane. They all came out through the pillar that they came in through. 

Soverick continued to smile as he was transformed into an energy form containing his consciousness. He has a lot to be happy about and a lot to look forward to. He couldn't wait to return to the plane and cash in his requests. 

"That ended well. Maybe I was just being paranoid. Nothing bad has happened." He said to himself.

He checked his brand one last time before it disappeared.

NAME: Soverick Ghastorix.

POWER: Rank 10.

DESIGNATION: DIVINE

SCORE: 131,783,469,215

RANK: 1.

FEATS: CHAMPION

His performance made him happy. It means he won the top prize and he is looking forward to getting it. His score was the last thing he saw before he lost consciousness. Then he was transmitted back to the pillar he emerged from. 

The stream of energy that he has become was being transmitted when it suddenly morphed. It changed and warped along the way to the extent that it could not be recognized anymore. The supreme law of the serpentine world god overwrote his existence. It succeeded too because Soverick is not an origin God with a concept to protect his existence.

Everything that made up his existence was warped beyond recognition. They stopped being similar to Soverick in any way possible. If Soverick had a life-saving method that is not on par with the law matrix of the universe itself, then he will fail to resurrect. Even if he somehow resurrects, he won't be Soverick anymore. Then his existence was defragmented and scattered. This ensured his permanent death.

Soverick's transmission failed to maintain its integrity and the pillar failed to transform it back into Soverick. It is the first time that the pillars failed in their transmission. They didn't fail once during the 20 million times they were activated until this very moment. It is not a surprise considering that it is a world God that tampered with the process. 

The serpentine world god effectively turned him to dust and scattered him into the wind. There is no coming back from that. Soverick is well and truly dead. Only the immortality afforded by the universe to the Origin gods could have saved him because there is nothing to save as he is right now. He is not Soverick anymore by any definition.

Any method apart from the law matrix of the universe will fail to resurrect him unless that method can resist and undo the work of a supreme law. Even the soul sphere can't undo the damage to him. That's what happens when you work with world gods. It is highly likely for you to get burned. 

But Soverick knew that. He wasn't a fool. Even if he were, there are other clones to remind him of the danger of world gods. But Soverick didn't need to be reminded of the dangers of world gods. He saw the supreme laws of a world God and he knows what it can do. So he was prepared for this eventuality. It will be foolish of him not to be prepared. Soverick is a lot of things, but he isn't a fool.

Somewhere deep down in the world of concepts, Legion-7 stirred. The Titanic beast of an entity awakened from its slumber. The world around it is a miasma of colors and concepts. Reality is blurred here because this is not the world of manifestation. This is the law matrix itself. Transcendents are capable of sensing the law matrix. Sovereigns gain access to the law matrix. Origin gods become a part of the law matrix. Legion-7 dwells in the law matrix.

This titanic beast is in the shape of a jellyfish. The bulk of its body is like that of a jellyfish with black flesh. It even has thousands of thin filaments that emerge from the underside of its body. It also has the smooth muscular tentacles of an octopus. 

The head of the beast is the part that looks like a jellyfish. It is smooth and has no eyes. It is as smooth as a gem. It even has the faces and edges of a gem. This gem-like head has a large face surrounded by 8 other small faces. 

The beast began to light up as it became active. Spots of light appeared within its dark body. The main face of its head is the brightest. It is full of energy and power and it glowed with several multicolored dots of light. 

The spots of light in its body make it look like a beautiful creature. Each tiny spot of light has different colors which combine to make the beast as beautiful as a rainbow if not more beautiful. The beast has an ethereal beauty to it that can mesmerize weak minds. It is like a beautiful hybrid of jellyfish and octopus.
