GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

His movements were quick. It happened so fast that they couldn't react or do anything to stop him. His blade cut into the neck of the Viper and it disappeared. The head of the Viper didn't come off since it was saved by the world fragment but he wasn't disappointed. He saw all the threads snap off at once. The sudden disconnection of that many threads created a type of energy that would be imperceptible in lower quantities. 

This energy existed in the brief window when the connections were disconnected. The threads are exposed to the physical world during that instant. It had escaped his notice before because it was too small to notice but now he saw it and he also knows that if he has the right tools he can snatch these threads and take them for his own.

"Very interesting." He mused out loud amidst the cry of the Vipers.

They are very unhappy about what he did. They were hoping to rescue the Viper and save him but Soverick dashed their hope. He ignored their cries of anguish and focused on the behavior of the threads. He saw them dip down into their spiritual state and then disappear. He doesn't have the tools to take the threads for himself. He is not a paragon. He doesn't have a heart that the connections can attach to. So he watched as the immortal link took the connections.

He rubbed his chin and said, "I am learning more and more today."

The spectacle of the Viper's death gave him some ideas about how to use the boost from his title as child of the plane. He found the behavior of their threads to be similar to his connections with the plane. He knows the true state of the connection with the plane but the Vipers and their connections enlightened him further. 

His connections are for whatever he wants to do with them. They are malleable, unlike the threads of the Vipers. The only one with malleable threads like his is the immortal power. The immortal power even has better control of the threads than him. The immortal powers are capable of using the threads to keep their existence anchored to the world. That's how they gain immortality. He is far below that level of control.

He cracked his neck and swung his blade twice as if testing it.

He told them, "Playtime is over."

The speedster took a step back in fear. He smirked. Then he took three steps forward and disappeared. The vipers briefly saw his body split three times into 8 figures before he disappeared. Then he appeared in their midst. Only the other speedster was able to react to his sudden appearance. I think you should take a look at

The Speedster's eyes widened when he suddenly appeared among them. It took more steps back. Soverick took one quick glance at it and ignored it. He turned to the brute on his left and his blade flashed multiple times as he struck the brute over and over again.

The speedster managed to take two steps back before the reality of its situation caught up with it. One step was okay but two steps is not. Two steps are too much for it. The second step stressed its body past what it can handle considering its new state. Two lines appeared on the face of the speedster after it took the second step. The two lines extended from its head to its torso. The Viper split into three when the two lines expanded. Then it disappeared as the arena saved it.

There is a saying that one shouldn't take two steps after being slashed with a blade two times. Actually, one shouldn't move at all if they can help it. Most people can't move after suffering such injuries but the speedster was too fast for its own good. It is so fast that it moved faster than it can feel pain and realize that it shouldn't move. Maybe it wouldn't have moved if it knew what Soverick had done to it.

Soverick ignored the speedster because it was already dead. It just didn't know it yet. He has to be the mature one if one of them is going to be foolish. He already killed the speedster with a DANCE OF THE SPECTRAL WIND before he activated WORLD BREAKER. That's two targets that he took care of before appearing in their midst. So he focused on the third target. The white brute will be the focus of his wrath.

He moved with a flicker faster than the wind itself. In fact, he can cut the wind itself with how fast his blade moved. He was fast before but employing his boost from the plane to speed himself up made him much faster. It also made him attack faster. 

His hand moved like lightning and his blade struck his opponent with the force of a hammer. Each strike between his blade and the flesh of the brute created a sound akin to thunder. An explosion of force took place as the blade made contact with flesh. Shockwaves battered everything around them.

He expected to split the brute apart into gory chunks but he was disappointed. His blade cut into the brute but it was like he was cutting into metal instead of flesh. His blows are as heavy as a hammer but the brute is as durable as a mountain. It will take a lot for a mountain to be broken. 

He managed to cut deep furrows into the brutes so that the brute became tattered but he won't be able to kill it before the other brute finally reacts and interferes. The brute's white pristine scales have been marred. Deep lines spread across its body like the valleys of mountains. But the bulk of the mountain is still standing.

He kicked the misshapen carved-up brute away from him while he turned to the brute that just realized that something is terribly wrong. The brute is a little slow but it has not been a second yet since he appeared in their midst. The black-scaled brute threw a punch which Soverick disabled by pushing his arm aside with his blade. Then he switched his boost to strength and punched the brute in the face.
