Greed All For What Chapter 1672

[ … words ]

The world gods were surprised again by the outburst of power. But they still didn’t give up. They resisted with all their might. It worked as the speed at which they were dragged to their doom slowed down to a crawl.

The first one was also surprised by what had happened. His move was successful, but it came with an unforeseen problem. The world gods struggled, and they actually succeeded in stopping themselves from moving towards him.

He knew what sort of existence they were through the memories of Monarch High Heaven, but he still didn’t think much of them, so he was expecting complete and total freezing of the world gods. It came to him as a shock that he could only succeed in stopping them from fleeing.

It was a rude awakening to his condition. He can’t believe he would become so weak. It was as if he were a ghost of himself. He asked incredulously, “How is this possible?”

Someone replied to his question. “It is possible because you are being greedy. You have grabbed 30 of them at once. Try grabbing them one at a time.”

It was the white lady who replied. She had appeared beside his head. Her size had increased, but she was still small compared to him. She looked like a large fly compared to his head.

Her reply shocked him again. He recognized her. “Third sister, you are here too?”

It is because he recognized her that he was shocked by her presence here. He is not supposed to recognize anyone he knows in this universe. The last he knew, he was on his own here.

“Let go of 29 of them. You are currently too weak to eat all of them at once.”

This statement was strange for him to hear. But it was the truth. Apparently, his current form is still limiting his power. It has made a significant difference to appear between 30 and 1 of these world gods to him.

“Fine.” He said that and released 28 world gods.

He was still stubborn and refused to admit he was weak, so he released 28 instead of 29. It reduced his burden to just two world gods that were still being pulled towards him. It has become possible to pull them, but he wasn’t happy about it one bit.

This weakness was grating on him. But he held on as he pulled the world gods to himself. Then he grabbed them with his physical hand. His hand plunged into their bodies and their worlds.

It was as if an explosion had gone off within them. Their world was scattered by the explosion, which caused a sudden release of energy. The released energy within them was then siphoned to feed the explosion of his existence. His already bright form became brighter still.

The two world gods turned into ashes after he was done with them. They didn’t beg or scream during the process. They have more pride than that. Besides, they are only going to go to sleep for a while. They may not even have to if they have made preparations. This death will only cost them another world.

The white lady said to him, “If you were hungry, you should have asked them for food. These world gods are very rich. They probably have enough material to build three worlds each.”

He told her, “I don’t talk with my food.”

She rolled her non-existent eyes. “It is more like you don’t use your brain.”

He refused to capitulate, saying, “Thinking is for the weak. The powerful just do, and the consequences be damned.”

“Fine. At least you sound the same. It is good that all that sleeping and the many incarnations have not messed with your memories.”

She could only give up because this is an argument that they have had ever since they were born. There have been many Chaos cycles since then. Many universes have died and been reborn, so this argument is vastly older than time. At least older than the time of the void universe.

He said with disdain, “I have only become weak, not senile. What do you mean by it being good that all that sleeping hasn’t affected my memory? How can that happen? Are you insulting me, sister?”

His single eye was staring at her with the intensity of an exploding sun. He was so irritated with the idea that she suspected that he would have lost a part of himself during his sleep.

“I wasn’t insulting you. It is just that the void universe is special and weird. Who knows how it affected you when you were asleep?”

He asked, “Did it affect you when you slept? If it didn’t affect you, how could it affect me?” She replied smugly, “I didn’t sleep at all. I have been awake ever since I arrived.”

He snorted and asked, “How long have I been asleep?”

She replied, “It has been less than one Chaos cycle.”

“That doesn’t seem like a long time at all.”

“It isn’t. But this epoch of the void universe is about to end, so I came to make sure you woke up in time.”

“Yes. The end of an epoch is always when a universe is at its weakest.”

He hummed as he looked around for more food. Unfortunately, every world god around had run away.

So he asked her a question that has been troubling him. “How did you even come here? I thought you said you weren’t interested.”

She shrugged before replying. “I had nothing to do, so I decided to come for a stroll.” He scoffed. He didn’t believe her one bit. He is certain that she is scheming something and that she is lying to him, but he wasn’t going to debate with her. He was never good with debates, and he never cared for them. That was the expertise of their brother. As for him, he will just destroy every obstacle in his way, including her scheme, with pure power. That is his expertise as the god of power.
