GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



The armored rhino decided not to wait for Soverick this time. It has learned its lesson. It began running towards Soverick. The hooves of the 500-meter-tall phantom dug large groves into the ground and uprooted trees as it sped up. It could trample on trees as a 20 meters tall monster. 500 meters is just too much for the forest to bear.

The phantom lowered its head to smash Soverick. It came too close to Soverick but was stopped by a large golden skeletal arm that extended from the cocoon of world power. The arm held the phantom rhino back while Soverick tried to complete his construct. The phantom pushed the arm back and wanted to knock it aside so Soverick created skeletal legs and a spine. The spine and the skeletal legs grew out of the cocoon and attached to each other. He used the skeletal legs to brace himself while the arm pushed the phantom rhino back.

The skeletal legs and arm stalled the phantom enough for him to make more constructs. The cocoon enlarged to form a torso. The spine on its back elongated with it and became robust. Soverick created another skeletal arm attached to the spine to fight the phantom while he ascended into the skull of the giant skeleton he is making. 

He held on even as the skeletal arms of the construct were being destroyed by being in contact with the phantom. The skeleton began to fill in with flesh as soon as it became completed. The power of the world was weaved into tissues that wrapped around the bones to form muscles and ligaments. 

The phantom became frenzied because of its frustration. Soverick had been content with just holding it back but it wants to trample over him. The armored rhino within the phantom fired more purple balls to destroy the resistance it is facing. The balls hit the golden construct that is holding it back and made it stagger.

The purple balls are as deadly as ever. They tore through the golden giant easily and silently like a hot knife through butter. But the giant simply replaced the destroyed flesh from Soverick's supply of energy. It is not a fair trade since the armored rhino had to sacrifice the size of its phantom to create those purple balls.

The phantom was frustrated despite its attempts so it resorted to brute strength. It is much stronger than the golden giant so it is able to push it back. It decided to focus everything it has on it. The golden giant held the phantom down as it was pushed back. They plowed through the forest without any care. The damage they did increased once the golden giant finished its construction. Its muscles were covered with a layer of skin to reveal it to be a single-eyed giant. The Cyclops went on the attack and began wrestling with the phantom. 

The consequence of their wrestling is like a natural disaster hitting the forest. The two Colossal beings fought under the dark storm clouds. The Cyclops continued to get stronger as Soverick who is residing in its single eye continued to forcefully pull the power of the world meanwhile the phantom was getting weaker from expending the purple energy. 

The tides turned and the Cyclops became stronger than the phantom. The phantom was lifted by the Cyclops and slammed into the ground. The Cyclops got on top of the phantom and punched it while the phantom carved into its body with reckless abandon by using its spikes and claws.

Their fight did not go unnoticed. A lot more people in the arena saw and heard it from a far distance. It is after all two beings of epic proportions duking it out. They seemed to have commandeered the entire forest for their brawling. They took no heed of any other person around them. It is as if they are the only ones in the arena and that the arena belongs to them. The ground shook as they slammed into each other or hit each other. 

Some even died when Soverick threw a makeshift club aside to grab another one. He would uproot trees with the hand of the Cyclops and bash the phantom with it. The trees will suffer damage as soon as they come in contact with the purple phantom but the size of the phantom also reduces. Then he will throw the useless stub of the tree aside, killing an innocent bystander with it. They were just watching the purple phantom and the golden Cyclops fight. Then a tree fell on them and killed them.

Soverick's technique, Mind Over Power is a technique that works in tandem with his mastery of mind weapon. It is a technique aimed at copying powers and abilities by looking at them. It is like Aeternus's The Power Of Envy in that regard. Unlike Aeternus, he has to rely on himself to copy the abilities he sees since he doesn't have a mark of sin to rely on. 

And the abilities he can copy are only those he has the tools for such as his divine sense, momentum, and world power. Anything that needs specialized organs can't be copied by him. This monster is using world power to empower itself. Soverick decided to borrow its supply of world power for himself. He doesn't have a supply of his own so he decided to take advantage of a little charity. It is just for a little while. He will be done with it soon.

Mind weapon is the fourth step of weapon mastery. It is the ability to form weapons by solidifying momentum with the divine sense. These weapons are created by simulating the principles of action of real weapons. Once you know a weapon very well and are conversant with what makes it work, and how force and momentum flow through it, then you will have a mental image of it that you can bring to life with momentum.
