GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

contemporary romance

Guntu caught the godhood and was already scheming about how to keep the Godhood for himself. He liked to tell stories but having a physical souvenir is always welcomed. He didn't want to give up something that the eye of sages had been activated to acquire.

Still, he decided to report the sequence of events to ancestor Ghastorix immediately. The importance of Soverick increased in his mind. Sometimes you wouldn't know what you are lacking until you see someone using it. He had just realized how much they were missing out on without the eyes of truth.

"The God King is not bad for a god. He has strengthened his connection with the divine realm so we might be troubled a lot if we storm the place. It won't be a problem to win at the end of the day, but I have a feeling that if we wait, things will shape up. We might not even need to fight much to wipe the gods out." The son of legends said as began to walk back towards headquarters.

He was thinking about the grand god he couldn't kill. When a battle sage monkey that chose the path of their innate divine ability becomes an origin god, they become capable of changing the future from the present. They do this by forcefully converging all lines of possibilities to reach the desired outcome by selecting this outcome and sacrificing the rest to achieve it.

But no matter how he looked at the future with his eyes, that grand god can't die this soon. Either he had fate on his side or another force had interfered with the possibilities. He could have chosen to pursue the grand god as he fell but he chose to go after more important objectives. He wouldn't have been able to acquire the godhead if he had prioritized the grand god instead.

There's no way a measly grand god could have escaped from him even if he had fate on his side. It's just that any attempt on the grand god's life will make him forfeit something more important.

'It is rare that I don't get what I want and more. But I'll let him go.' He made his decision, like the verdict of a judge, he decided to pardon Xanc.

But the son of legends is more than a judge. Anyone with the Sage's Eye is more than a judge. They are the witness, the jury, the judge, and the executioner altogether. They will see, they will come and they will conquer. Their eyes make it all inevitable. Running away from them is like a blind man trying to run away from a man with perfect eyesight.

A shower of stars began to rain on the main plane. A lot of Godhood fell due to the sudden death of many gods. It was a display that showed the inhabitants of the plane that their gods were powerless. It was one of his hidden agendas. The four objectives he mentioned weren't the complete number of goals he wanted to pursue. There are some hidden goals. This display for example will impact the believers and reduce their faith in the gods. Giving the Godhead to Guntu also has a hidden agenda. It is true that the act will be favorable to the race as a whole, what he didn't say is that it would also be favorable to him.

The worth of the godhead to an origin god is between one to ten origin essence beads but what he will get from it is greater than that. It is also why he is friendly to Guntu. He is usually a friendly person but his instincts warned him to not slight Guntu in any way so that the future rewards will be higher.

The knowledge that the eyes of truth acquire can be used in a myriad of ways. This knowledge is why they are called sages another word for wise men. They weave intricate plans. If you think they are only one step ahead of you, then you are wrong and you have already lost. If you think that they are at least two steps ahead of you then you are wrong. They will take advantage of your paranoia and make you second guess your decisions. If you think that they are three steps ahead of you, you will lose. Because you're right where they want you to be.

There's just no way of winning against them unless they make you think you have won. It has its limitations but overall, the power of his eyes is a good thing. He had once tried to use it against a world god and it backfired. He didn't just suffer a backlash, he paid for that lesson with his life. He is an Origin god so he just had to spend some resources and he was back on his feet. Still, it was an expensive lesson.

The gods are measly opponents when compared to the might of an entire world. Origin gods can't kill each other permanently, so it is never safe to kill an Origin god. But some loopholes have been taken advantage of to achieve a safe kill. Origin gods have researched ways to kill each other for good but the best they have achieved is preventing the Origin god from resurrecting within a time frame. It might take many cycles but a dead Origin god will resurrect. So they changed their aim towards killing an Origin god in a safe manner and developed techniques to achieve it.

Using a small amount of those techniques on gods, however, will lead to their total death. They aren't truly immortal, even Origin gods aren't fully immortal. True immortality is a realm beyond World gods.

It is what those juggernauts are aiming for. True immortality is the immunity to death, they just can't die. Origin gods can resurrect indefinitely as long as their soul matrix exists and there is energy. It is still not true immortality.

What he used on the gods is just a basic attack that targets the fate of whoever he kills. If it is on an Origin god, they will die again as soon as they resurrect at most. But then they will resurrect again. It is a technique that kills an Origin god twice in a row regardless of distance and will disrupt memory transfer to the Origin god so that his soul matrix won't be updated. In short, the Origin god won't know how he died the first time because he died again before his soul matrix updates.

When someone doesn't know how he died, you will be able to kill them again in the same way. As long as no one witnessed your process of killing the Origin god, it will remain a secret. You can preserve your trump cards that way. An Origin god must have one or two of these techniques to safeguard their secrets. Fighting someone that can resurrect is a tricky business, it is best that you don't start a fight, but if you do, you must make sure to wipe out future consequences at least or a simple fight can escalate into a cosmic war of epic proportions.

This simple technique has a rather fatal consequence on gods as long as he kills one of their avatars. As for the reason why they couldn't sense his hair? They were simply blind to it. No matter how they run, they are simply going in circles beneath the gaze of his perfect eyesight.

Back in the divine realm. A while after that fiasco with the invisible attacker.

The God King Ode was feeling jittery. Nothing was going well for him. He didn't even have peace and safety in his own house anymore.

"What is the world coming to?" He lamented.

They thought he was crazy when he first sensed the anomaly. He was fine then but he is crazy now. Even a god has his limits. And he is so close to reaching his.

How could he live comfortably knowing that there might be an attacker in the divine realm? A very strong attacker too, something strong enough to threaten his very life. He had stretched his senses ever since that incident. His mental status was fine because of the strength of his soul but his emotional status was crumbling and it was crumbling fast. It was like a house of cards with one of the foundations removed. A core tenet of his life which is safety and control within the divine plane has been destroyed.

He had to do something about the current situation. If they can't ascertain that their attacker is gone, they will always be on edge. So he consulted the only people who could help out in these dire circumstances. The Origin gods that he hired answered his call. He explained exactly what happened to the gods in hopes that they will be able to save him from his terror.
