GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 582 Distance Of Strength.

?

There was silence before someone with a certain amount of authority in the group finally answered. "Let's wait for the others before we make a decision."

"Yes, let's do that."

"It's a good idea."

That suggestion got a unanimous agreement. It is not because they are afraid but because they care about the others that they came to the competition with. That is both true and also false. There are many of them and they are still coming together since they were split into various arenas. So it is true that there are still others who are not around yet. But that's not the main reason why they decided to shelf their plans to kill the child of the plane for now.

The ones here in this arena are in the thousands. They communicate with each other using soul glyphs/talismans. People can communicate with it across realms. They used this line of communication to organize and regroup. There are many such groups within the competition. Apparently, a lot of people don't like the child of the plane.

This group will decide what to do when more of them arrive. In the meantime, they will not have to face the child of the plane. They will use that time to grow stronger before they clash with him. Their clash is inevitable for several reasons. There's the hatred and there's the matter of honor. It will be dishonorable to them as battle sage monkeys not to at least face Soverick when he has been suppressed to their level and when there is no need to worry about real death. 

So they are going to fight him. This fight between the Titans and the show of strength hasn't changed their minds. It is only informing them that their fight with the child of the plane will be very unpleasant. Death may not be possible in the competition, but the pain of death in the world fragment is real since you have to be near death before you can be respawned. They will still fight Soverick once they have enough numbers despite the fear of death. One way or another, they will clash with the child of the plane and teach him a lesson.

The competitors are grouped into those who are inspired by the fight and those that hate Soverick Ghastorix. Then there are the really talented ones who consider themselves to be at the top of the plane. Some of them are kings of law and others are accomplished in one way or the other. These battle sage monkeys have no love or hatred for the child of the plane. They only have the intention to compete with him. It is either due to their wish to prove themselves or to overcome him.

All of them have various feelings as they watched the fight. Some have their fighting spirit ignited while others accepted defeat. Both have to admit that the fight has shown the distance in strength between them and the child of the plane. But some seek to bridge that gap and catch up to the child of the plane while others think it is an impossible gap to bridge and that it will be wiser to focus on themselves and what they are good at instead of chasing wild fancies.

No matter what the opinions of the audience to Soverick's fight are, it is a fact that the entire arena was riled up. Even the ones that gave up on chasing after the child of the plane are more determined than ever before to create something of themselves too. It may not be up to the level of the child of the plane, but they refuse to be mediocre. Those that hate him realize their weakness and what is required of them if they hope to get revenge and the ones that admire Soverick decided to fight harder to be more like him.

Arena 28 is all pumped up and full of energy. They are not the only ones all pumped up because they are not the only ones witnessing this fight. The inhabitants of the Virut plane are all watching. They could be watching something else in the competition but they are watching that fight. What else is worth watching while the child of the plane is creating a magnificent ruckus?

The entire sky of the Virut plane has been cleared of clouds and it is used to display the fight. The entire sky was actually demarcated into sectors which provides different views of the activities within the arenas based on the level of significance but all the sectors in the sky were combined to show this fight. So anyone in the Virut plane can just look up and see Soverick pummelling the monster.

People are running around in the streets and cheering. The noise is deafening due to all the celebrations. Even those watching on their communication and entertainment device are also in the spirit of Celebration. It is a reassuring thing to see that the child of the plane is not some useless person. His performance, even under suppression, and the video of his fight with his mother have proven beyond all reasonable doubt that Soverick is a sage in the making.

The birth of a sage is always a thing of Celebration for battle sage monkeys. Sages are the cornerstones of the strength of the plane. They have the highest honor in the plane as well as the highest confidence that they will be there for the plane when the plane needs them. It has been like so for a long while in the history of battle sage monkeys. 

Sages are elected by the world gods of the racial council. The individuals must have done something important and widespread to draw the attention of world gods. Then they have to be of supreme talent before they are to be granted that title.

The title is granted with a plane wide celebration. It is an event that is known by almost everyone in the plane. Meanwhile, a child of the plane is a random person selected by the plane. It is understandable that they will have little confidence in him.
