GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



He grinned happily. "I didn't expect that I'll enjoy participating in this competition but I think I'll enjoy this."

He has been wary of this competition ever since his meeting with the first sage but he has changed his mind now. The derivatives of the law of order of the first sage present in this world fragment have improved his mood and his opinion of the competition. 

So he won't settle for survival or for chasing feats. He will do all of those and also have fun. Then he will make a request from the first sage. The golden orbs reacted to his mood and became excited. They began rotating furiously. They are trying to assimilate the momentum of this world into themselves. 

The momentum inside of them has been reset during his transmission into the world fragment. He has lost his accumulation of momentum so he has to restart them from zero power. The reset affected everyone including him. It removed any augmentation that they have done to themselves and it prevents everyone from coming into the world fragment with any artifact. The only thing that can enter this world is something that is innately part of your body and your knowledge. 

While everyone is on an even field of power due to the suppression of the world, there's actually a lot of difference in the competitors because of various divine abilities, weapon Mastery, and other skills. There is more to power than pure cultivation so the competitors will not be equal. It is that extra power that makes them above others even under this suppression that will make them shine.

He has been horribly suppressed. About 99% of his prowess has been robbed from him just so that others can have a chance of beating him. His divine sense has been crippled and his special barrier that retaliates automatically cannot be set up because of the crippling. 

It is like he has a big burden on him that he has to resist before he can do anything. The suppression is like friction. It is resisting all of his actions. He needs 99% of his power to overcome that friction just to move. The friction doesn't disappear too after he overcomes the friction so he is constantly under oppression.

He is generally not in a good condition but he still has his 9 golden pillars, his eyes, and his skills. So he can still shine. There's also his ability as the child of the plane which is sure to make him shine the brightest.

The 9 golden orbs are part of his body. They were created when he was a vitality core stage refiner. They were simply momentum gates back then but they became momentum vessels when he became a mana entity. They upgraded further when he became a transcendent by using the divine life energy of the tree father. 

He isn't sure if they would have remained if he broke through normally but it doesn't matter now. What matters is that momentum is relevant no matter the rules of the world. Momentum is a byproduct of entropy. An active world creates entropy and therefore creates momentum. If this world were static and unchangeable or if it were fake then there won't be any momentum. 

Since there is momentum, then it can be taken or manipulated. It may need some requirements for it to be used. Some will use it with their skills but he will use it with his 9 pillars of momentum. 

First, they harmonize with the world by spinning in a circle on his back. The way they are spinning is not random. They are trying to find the harmonic resonance of the momentum of the world fragment. There is a certain frequency where they become indistinguishable from the world. They then gain access to the momentum of the world since they are one with the world. Next, they gained control of the momentum. Then they began to siphon momentum from the world into him.

His suppressed body began to strengthen rapidly as momentum empowered him. It helped him to resist the suppression on him. That lets more of his existence to escape from the suppression. Nothing seemed to be different about him apart from the film of solidified momentum covering his skin like a shell. 

The momentum barrier is the basis for his automatic retaliating barrier. Any force that hits him will get a backlash of power. The limit and the capacity of his barrier are nowhere close to what he had before he was suppressed. The barrier can't retaliate but it will protect him.

To others, momentum might be a tool. But to him, it is a part of his existence. Momentum is breathed in and breathed out from him into the world in a smooth fluid flow. It is an extra limb that he controls perfectly. 

He exerted some control of the momentum in his body and broke the shackles of flight suppression over himself. He has reached the milestone of power needed to levitate in this world. His body rose from the ground and began to levitate. He received a message from his brand immediately.

eαglesnᴏνel "Ha ha ha." He laughed and said, "This is going to be fun."

The lifting of the suppression gave him a feeling of euphoria. It is like some of his burdens have been lifted. He feels like he has overcome an obstacle and can finally breathe. There is also the smug feeling of beating the world with its own power.

He used the momentum of the world to fight against its suppression. He hasn't won yet, but it is a step in the right direction. His efforts are also being rewarded with a feat. They are all good reasons to be happy.contemporary romance
