GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

584 Interference.



Rank 4 to 6 monsters are not found in nature. They are spawned specifically for a purpose or for a certain participant. The decision of what type of monster to spawn is taken after careful consideration and analysis of the strength and weaknesses of the participant in question.

This group of monsters is meant to ensure a 50/50 chance of death. You can still be killed by them even if you're stronger than them. There's a definite chance of death when fighting them. So it is important to always be attentive around such monsters even if you are stronger than them. 

This second group of monsters is not supposed to be introduced for at least one month. Even those that were designated as KINGS right from the start in each arena only get to face rank 3 monsters at first. But Soverick increased his threat level by breaking the shackles of the world on him immediately after the challenge began by flying.

It means that he has achieved world harmonization and might be on the cusp of one with the world. The birds he faced were not supposed to try and kill him or at least not at first. They were supposed to scare him into the tree line and humble him. It wouldn't do if he flies above the forest and avoids all the obstacles within the forest. He also had to be stopped from reaching the mountain so early into the challenge. So the ravens attacked him.

The ravens were sent to oppress and subjugate him but he resisted and he resisted most imperiously. The ravens got riled up when the world spirit got carried away because Soverick began to kill them. That's when everything went to hell. Soverick was able to kill the thousands of them required to reach the 5th rank even under the suppression of the world fragment. The world spirit had no choice but to bring in the next group of monsters. They are the ones with a good chance of killing him.

The next group that starts at rank 7 are monsters that can empower themselves with the world fragment itself making them extra deadly. Their rank limits how much of the power of the world they can take. Rank 8 monsters can handle more world power and are deadlier than rank 7. These monsters are very dangerous and extremely difficult to vanquish because they need spells to combat them.

The purple phantom of the armored rhino for instance needs several hundred combatants attacking it from different directions and whittling it down using the power of spells and numbers. But spells cannot be used yet because this world is not the same as their previous worlds. They need to harmonize with the world, become one with the world, then comprehend the law of this world. That is something that will take time yet Soverick has pushed the timeline forward.

He accomplished it by stealing the world power that the monster is using with some sort of visual divine ability. So what are they going to do? Continue to introduce stronger monsters or slow down the introduction of monsters? If they slow down then he will be able to reach the top of the mountain pretty easily.

But worse than that is the fallout from the fights with stronger monsters. The fight with that armored rhino caused a lot of destruction to the world and its occupants. A lot of people died because of it and a lot of trees were demolished as collateral damage. The two administrators don't care about the trees. It is the other competitors that they are worried about. 

The introduction of stronger monsters will mean a higher fallout. Everyone is supposed to work together to fight monsters but that won't be the case if Soverick is fighting strong monsters while everyone else is weak. Everyone else will be too preoccupied with running for their lives and things will become unconducive for them. 

This fight wouldn't have caused this problem if it had occurred much later in the challenge. The competitors will be strong enough to defend themselves and maybe interfere in the fight. It is just too early right now for a rank 7 monster to be stampeding about. It is worse now that there are two of them. Soverick also counts as a rank 7 monster at this point.

The first sage replied calmly, "There's only one thing that we can do. And that's to hit him harder."

The Serpentine world god grumbled, "But that will give him the opportunity to earn more feats."

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

The Serpentine world god eyed his companion for a long time. They both sat there in silence before he finally answered. "I know you're up to something but I want you to know that his existence changes nothing. Just go ahead and hit him harder. But make some tweaks. Let the monsters be more difficult to handle."

The first sage asked. "Are you sure? You know it means that I get to interfere on your side too."

What the serpentine world God is asking for is interference. It is not fair to Soverick or the battle sage monkeys. So the first sage must also be allowed to make his own changes to the other side. This will keep things fair.

The serpentine world god nodded reluctantly. "Just do it. Nothing will come out of it anyway. I have complete faith in my side."

The first sage offered, "To prove that I have no ulterior motive, I'll let you make the changes yourself."

The serpentine world god narrowed his eyes at the sage. They have separate control over the project. The sage giving it permission to interfere on his side is a big deal. It reeks of a plot. If there was ever a special type of smell that outs a gesture as a plot, this gesture of "goodwill" reeks of that smell. It reeks so much of it.
