Greed All For What Chapter 749

749  Threads Of Spirituality.

It is a surprise that they found someone of Soverick’s caliber among their opponents. It is unexpected but it happened. It is also unexpected and furthermore, unlikely, that there is someone else that is very strong among the furries. If that were to happen and if they have focused all their top-level strength here, then they will look like fools. They will be very surprised but they will also be fools.

The speedster drew their attention to something very important, “We also have to save Vitain. He is not dead yet. It will not do for a paragon to be killed by a furry even in a game.”

“That’s true.” They all agreed.

The entire battle is being shown in two planes, not one as they thought. It’s being shown in the sky for everyone to see. Vipers are not the only species alive in their plane. Furries are there too and they are also watching the show.

The fact that they are being watched wouldn’t have mattered if they were winning easily. It would have been a good thing. It also would still be okay if they won strenuously, but it will be very bad if they lose in front of everyone. The furries will see a paragon get killed by another furry. That is a shame to their entire race. And it might also give the furries wrong ideas.

The paragon that dies and brings such disgrace to their race had better hope that they stay dead forever. The rest of them that did nothing and watched as a paragon was smashed to bits will also share in this eternal shame. So they have to rescue the speedster whom Soverick has inserted his foot into and is wearing like a shoe.

They were planning amongst themselves while Soverick was busy with something else. The lull in battle has not lasted 5 seconds despite everything they were talking about. Their minds are very fast so they have a very fast transmission of information.

The paragons planned to bring in the spell tower. She is at the center of the arena leading the Vipers into battle. She is much closer to them than the other paragons defending the flag and she is much more useful for what they need. The immortal link is weak, the defense buff needs to defend the flag while the attack buff needs to lead their army so she is the best for their situation.

It is the best option since she is the only one that managed to comprehend the laws of this world. The other paragons hadn’t cared enough to make any effort in comprehending the new laws whereas she has an advantage in comprehension, concentration, mental processing, and spiritual power. She had to stop bombarding the battle sage monkeys with spells so that she can help them but it is a worthy trade.

Soverick was not idle while they planned. Three of his eyes focused on the victim at his feet while the last one was watching the others. He bore into the body of the Viper down to its cells and past that to the energy flow of its existence. He saw the makeup of the connection within the body of the Viper.

They are like threads that fill up every part of their existence. The threads are spiritual in nature. They can’t be interacted with or severed in the physical realm but they are capable of effecting changes in the physical world. Another clone of Legion has seen something like this before. It is the clone that is the expert in soul matters.

“Legion-7 will be able to take advantage of this if he were here.” Soverick thought to himself. Then he smirked. “Of course, he is here. He just can’t show himself.”

Legion-7’s expertise with the soul will enable it to take advantage of the spiritual threads. Unfortunately, this is not a random hidden location. As far as Soverick knows, there are at least two world gods watching his every move. There could be more. So Soverick will have to focus and deal with this problem on his own.

He can’t risk Legion for anything. But that doesn’t mean he can’t acquire more information about the Paragons work. It won’t help the clone of Legion that is a paragon since his ability is different from the Vipers. But it will certainly help Legion-7 in taking better advantage of the false law of order of the serpentine world god.

The threads in the incapacitated speedster’s body are twitching threads. They have a potential difference between them that enables them to transmit energy and information nearly instantaneously.

This empowers the muscles and makes them fast. It empowers the nerves and makes them faster at sending impulses and information. It also empowers their energy delivery and utilization system. The twitching nature of the threads is what makes the speedster fast.

He diverted two of his eyes to inspect the other vipers after his inspection of the one at his feet. One of his eyes is still watching the incapacitated Viper. He is comparing the data about their connections. He found out that the behavior and structure of the threads in the different types of paragons are different.

He is content acquiring more information while they wait because it is good for him. The paragons weaken the more time passes. He can even see it happen within his vision. Some threads loosen and suddenly disappear from their bodies when one of the normal Vipers dies.

“Interesting.” He muttered to himself.

He was enjoying the sight when he noticed that one of the paragons was rushing from the battlefield toward his direction. That urged him to action.

“I guess it’s time to move.” He said with a sigh.

They all focused on him at that moment. A bad feeling rose within them. The other speedster even swallowed nervously.

“I wonder what will happen when I do this.” He said and loped off the head of the Viper at his feet.

The paragons cried out in dismay. The most vocal one was the speedster. Soverick’s act of killing the paragon is like something out of a nightmare to him.
