GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The spark on his hand engorged on Origin energy and it became a thread. Unlike the spark, the thread wasn't popping violently. It was vibrating and sizzling gently. The thunderclap was replaced with a high-pitched droning sound.

The thread continued to engorge on Origin energy so it split into several more blue threads. The threads split several times in a short while to create a small black orb. Then he grabbed world power with his divine sense and dragged it into the small orb.

The gentle sizzling of the lightning threads in his hands changed when world power was added to it. The threads enlarged and became violent again. They spread out of the palm of his hand like the roots of a tree in a bid to destroy the world. He had to force them back into shape in his hands.

The wild root-like form of the lightning threads returned to its previous spherical form. But they didn't do so silently or without resistance. The loudness of the incessant thunderclaps increased drastically. They were booming in the minds of all who heard them. It is as if the lightning in his hand was threatening people verbally. They aren't empty threats either. If he let it go, the lightning would explode and rupture the eardrums of everyone.

Legion-5 encouraged his creation with evil intentions. "Go on and grow. Go wild and let your violence pave the way for me."

The lightning obliged him. The ball expanded in his hand until it became bigger than him. It became so heavy that he had to hold it up with considerable effort. All the while, thunderclaps shook the heavens and the earth.

The sky changed and a storm started brewing. He is a Sovereign and he just called for the world to assist him. The world must answer. His enemies must bow before him and admit his Sovereignty.

Legion-5 began to laugh. He raised the ball of lightning up and said, "Behold my might and feel despair."

He held this expanding ball of lightning in his hand up for all to see and gazed down on his enemy with impunity. His enemy had a look of horror on his featureless face. That look of horror morphed into panic when the supreme beast felt the surroundings become charged.

Small electric sparks began jumping between everything. They started out as tiny and few blue sparks but they quickly grew in number and power. Soon they will become a lightning domain.

The supreme beast felt as if he was surrounded by enemies. His surroundings have become hostile to him. He is not being paranoid. A net of lightning is forming around Legion-5. It is not even intentional.

Legion-5 had gripped the ball and world with it in the palm of his hand. Then he spinned the two of them. The ball of lightning began to rotate. It picked up speed as it dragged more world power into itself. At this moment, the lightning ball had become the center of the world. He willed it and the world answered.

The wind howled. The sky shook as lightning thundered from above. The earth moaned and exploded as the rain of lightning fell on it. A storm appeared in the sky and blocked out the light of the sun. A shadow fell on this base and its environs. A shadow of despair appeared within the heart of the supreme beast trying to escape into the core of the base.

But he can't escape. The ball of lightning was rotating furiously and violently while shrieking painfully. It has been contained for too long. It wants to dance so Legion-5 finally let it. This ball fell like the wrath of the world on the barrier. It shot forward while twisting itself and the world around it. Then it slammed into the barrier like a screw.

Everyone looked on with trepidation in their hearts. They expected the base to be evaporated. However, the barrier changed from its omnidirectional defense mode into the unidirectional defense.

The entire barrier collapsed into a single slab of translucent hexagonal glass. All the energy and capacity of the barrier was concentrated into that single point to resist the attack so the barrier had thickened several times.

The two energy phenomena collided to create an explosion of light. The howling lightning screw expanded in the face of the opposition. It grew fiercer and became a small star of violent blue energy. The lightning attack itself didn't explode. It was the air around the site of the collision that exploded due to the discharge of energy into the surroundings.

Legion-5 couldn't believe it. The lightning star eventually reduced in size as the barrier held up. It consumed its energy so it shrunk. The shrinking continued until it ran out of energy. Then it finally collapsed in an explosion when it couldn't keep itself together anymore. The world calmed down instantly after the explosion.

Legion-5 let go of the world power so the storm died down and the clouds dispersed. The light of the sun exposed the damage that he had done for all to see. The base is still intact but its wall and a large portion of the ground close to it has been torn apart.

The base succeeded in defending the attack but it had used up all of its energy so the barrier disappeared. The bots also began to sleep. Every section of the base was not spared from this fate.

He said with a shrug, "This still counts as my victory."

The base tried its best. It performed beyond his expectations and managed to rebuff that attack. But it is defeated now. He can just walk in and take anything he wants.

He stood there in the sky marveling at his creation. Then something struck him in the air at a fast speed. It was a white beam from the defense cannon. It was loading but it ran out of energy so it decided to release what it had at the enemy to stall it until it recovered energy.
