It is not that the Origin gods can't kill that dragon. They can surely do it but they do it with concepts which Soverick doesn't have. They use their concepts to destroy the concepts that make up their targets. But Soverick did what they can do without having concepts. If that isn't impressive enough, it gets better because they know what Soverick did but they don't know how he did it.
Even they don't know how he did it. If they knew, then they wouldn't need concepts. They had to absorb Origin essence to make them exist that way but Soverick did not and he is a king of law. Either way, he did it, and both sides are very impressed with it.
The administrators of both sides are also impressed with it.
The sage nodded, "Satisfactory performance. It was expected."
The sage is very impressed with how Soverick handled the dragon but he expected it so it did not come as a shock to him.
The same can not be said about the serpentine world god. "What do you mean it was expected?"
He had to be impressed. He had no choice in the matter. What he saw evoked that feeling in him. It is against his nature but he is impressed with Soverick. But the sage is saying it is expected. How can it be expected that a king of law knows how to descend to the law matrix and then use his entire existence to smash into the manifestation of the dragon like a hammer because he doesn't have a concept? Who does such a thing? And what's more, who could expect such a thing?
Soverick didn't just smash himself headfirst into the dragon once, he did it 128 times creating 128 faults within the dragon. It is like mudding up the genes of an organism. One wrong change here and there is not enough to kill the organism. There might be one or two odd defects but it is not enough for death. But 128 mutations are another matter.
These 128 smudges in the gene chain are not in ordinary cells either. Ordinary cells can be replaced and the organism will heal just like the dragon healed the explosion to its chest. The mutations occurred in the reproductive cells which are responsible for the genes of the next generation.
The physical dragon can be likened to the next generation while its concept in the law matrix are the genes of its reproductive cells. Its manifestation was seriously injured by the 128 faults. They created the compounding effect that we saw. They led to the dragon's existence collapsing on itself. It just couldn't exist as a dragon anymore so it broke down into its constituent matter.
A comical comparison will be the scrambling of someone's brain into soup. You take a stick and introduce it into someone's head. Then you stir it rigorously until the soft squishy tissue that makes up the brain is turned into something with the consistency of soup. It is understandable that the person with the soup brain will not be capable of initiating a single thought in their head. It is expected that such a person will die if their brain is a critical part of their existence. The dragon also collapsed because something critical to its existence has been scrambled.
As a world god, he has seen a lot of things. But he hasn't seen something like this done by a king of law at the risk of their own existence. Soverick may have killed that dragon but he didn't come out of it unscathed because his actions created an equal but opposite reaction. And yet, the first sage is saying he expected it. How does one expect something like that? He certainly didn't. If he did, he wouldn't have bothered with sabotaging the dragon at all.
The sage answered his question. "It's a secret."
That answer did not sit well with the serpentine world god. He can feel that he is unknowingly walking into a trap. Somehow, the sage had expected Soverick to trounce the obstacles he laid in the challenge and yet he allowed him to go ahead and set the challenge anyway. It is either due to blind confidence in Soverick or a trick he doesn't know about. He decided to change that. The best way to beat a schemer is to be proactive instead of reactive.
"How about you let me change the last boss back to what it was before?" He asked the sage.contemporary romance
The changes he made to the last boss used to fill him with pride and confidence that Soverick will be trapped but the way Soverick destroyed that dragon made him lose confidence in the obstacle he set. He didn't ask to improve on it because frankly, there's no way to improve that obstacle. It is rank 10 after all. That's the limit of the world fragment. He can't go beyond that.
Even if he could upgrade the final boss further, there's nothing he can do to counter that move that Soverick used. At least not within the settings of the challenge. He doesn't even know how Soverick managed to do it. He knows it has something to do with his eyes but he doesn't know how it became possible.
The serpentine world god isn't even able to wrap his head around the normal eyes of the sages much less this aberrant. So he wants to remove the changes he made. Removing the change will also invalidate the reason for the sage's permission to do it in the first place.
The sage nodded. "I see. You're having cold feet."
"I am not having cold feet. I just feel it is unfair to try and stop such a talented young man. It was shameful of me to sabotage the boy's progress. A respectable world God such as myself should be more tolerating of the future generation."
"Mixing wrongs and truths is good but you're not fooling me. I agree that it is shameful of you to sabotage the boy's progress but it isn't the reason why you want to change. You're having cold feet."
