GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

1221 Demons Are Always Trouble.

The Mechanical Emperor announced solemnly, "I swear to do my best to ensure fairness and to ensure the protection of the young Supreme beasts participating in this rite of passage. And by the order of the Supreme Alliance, I announce the start of this rite of passage. I wish you all good luck."

That announcement marked the start of the rite of passage. Some people choose to spend time looking at the map and plan where they will start out in the outer ring. After all, there is only one direction they can go in once they establish their base. So it is best to know the obstacles that they will encounter on their way to the center of the plane. They also have to look out for the opportunities that are available along their way to the center.

While spending time to plan is good, some people are not doing so. They are already rushing out to pick a spot right now. The selection for slots, just like the selection for rewards, is first come first serve.

The most important reason why anyone will want to be the first to rush out and start as soon as possible is because they want to be the one to earn the first spot and be awarded a special point for it. They will be able to use that point to buy any divine ability they want. So the earlier they start, the better.

Legion-5 is one of the people who rushed out immediately. He has already memorized the map so he doesn't need to spend time planning. He also needs to get to the planar portal as soon as possible partly for Legion-7 and partly because one of the best spots in the plane is at the planar portal.

The Sea of Despair is very close to the planar portal. It is an ancient battlefield that has been cleaned of the most precious things but there are still some good things there that will help the young Supreme beasts in the early stages of the rite of passage. Legion-5 knows that because it is part of the information that was given to them.

He rushed out of the assembly hall through the numerous doorways that led out of it. There were a lot of supreme beasts with the same idea as him. They were running in the same direction as him. They all want a piece of the planer portal. Or it might just be a coincidence that they are running in the same direction as him.

It could be a coincidence that they are going in the same direction as him. They can't be faulted for taking the closest doorway to them. After all, the shortest distance between the platform and the edge of the plane is a straight line. Either way, he overtook all of them quickly. He flashed by them and disappeared into the horizon. All they saw of him were several sonic booms that buffeted them with layers of shockwaves. He was gone immediately.

Someone exclaimed, "What a freak."

The others are not so vocal about their shock but they are all surprised that there was someone so powerful amongst them. They were surprised because they thought that they were all new transcendents with stats around 10,000 points. But it looked to them that Legion-5 had a lot more stats than them.

They were certain of that conjecture because most of them could only break the sound barrier once while he had broken it 5 times in quick succession. It means he is at least 5 times faster than them. But what's most frightening is that he had broken the sound barrier 5 times before they could break it once. That means his acceleration is also at least 5 times greater than theirs.

Then they hardened their faces and they rushed after him. He is a strong enemy so they realized that a tough fight was coming up. They can't take things leisurely at all. Their hearts and minds were gloomy. But that is not the case with the mechanical emperor.

The invigilator whistled appreciatively and exclaimed, "This Agrivo839,371,456A is a freak. He didn't eat all that food and life essence for nothing."

He has the information about all of the participants so he knows that Agrivo839,371,456A's favorite hobby is eating. He also knows exactly how much this mutant Supreme beast has eaten.

Someone said to him, "I didn't even know that it was possible for anything other than a titan of law to eat that much life essence. He didn't reach his limit with two drops. How did he keep getting stronger without a body of law?"

The other hidden entity spoke. "It is probably because of his mutation. It made him more similar to the demon ancestor than the elven ancestor."

"He just kept on devouring the life essence like candy. I pity this batch of participants. Their only chance is to become Sovereigns of law early and exchange for life essence as soon as possible."

The Mechanical Emperor agreed. "He is a demon alright. And demons are always trouble."

The three origin gods chatting are nowhere near each other but they are in the plane. Their senses are spread all over the plane so they are aware of everything going on within it and they can communicate with each other easily. They and the invigilator are the overseers of the rite of passage. Anyone who thinks only the visible invigilator is the only protection in the plane will be very wrong.

Legion-5 shot through the air like a comet. He looked behind with his divine sense and grinned when he saw that he had left everyone behind him.

He said with some excitement, "It seems no one can compete with me for first place."

Then he sighed in pity. "They are an unlucky bunch."

He is not their equal in any way be it in strength, age, or intelligence. They are unlucky to be in the same rite of passage as him. But the world isn't fair and suffering is the fate of the weak.
