《GREED : ALL FOR WHAT?》Chapter 22-Who is She?
Advertisement
The god was stumped, but he didn't want to admit defeat, because he had come this far and didn't want to lose his opportunity to get an origin bead, this was his 3rd attempt now. He could swallow his defeat if the fight had been full of twists and turns but it wasn't, it was a straight defeat, and he could tell she wasn't putting in much effort. He decided to quit, there was no use beating a dead horse. He was a grand god, an achievement worthy of praise, he didn't get to this position by being stupid and stubborn like the members of his race.
While the god was going through a crisis in the arena, Gehald was more interested in his opponent rather than the fight itself.
"What could she be" he muttered. He couldn't tell what race the lady belonged to, he had never seen anything like her power. He had seen a race of magic immune giants, this race unlike other types of races in High Heaven couldn't use or sense mana. A race like this should have died out early or been enslaved by more powerful races. But they survived and strived because magic seemed to lose its effect when it touches them. Their skin doesn't absorb the spell or damage from it, instead, magical attacks scatter from contact. The effect of this ability varied depending on how powerful its user was. A more powerful giant could create a domain of no magic around them which nullified magic within its range. A more powerful person like a lord of law could overcome this barrier so the race could only hole up in their plane. That was until a really intelligent giant of that race discovered the cause of their uniqueness, he rallied their race and went on to become a grand god and then he became an origin god allowing them to become a supreme race. It was only then that they finally realized that they were born with a high affinity with the law of order. Till now he still suspected that the one that changed their race was probably a mutant because he was truly intelligent while the members of that race were too stupid. He would have thought the idea absurd but ever since the success of the realm lord he was more open to it. The realm lord was and is still suspected as a mutant High Elf. Anyways, the giants of order are a truly unique race in even the void universe.

That was that but what was the lady. She wasn't returning reality to the state it was before it was tampered with by her opponent, she was annihilating the attacks, and she was using fire too. He didn't know of any flame that turns things to nothingness. She also couldn't be from that race of giant because she was already in a humanoid form, which was an elemental form, a body of law. It wasn't her true appearance.
"What could she be" he muttered again.
"Hey pal, that fight is over. Forget about it and check this one out." The voice came from his left again and it seemed to be referring to him. He cursed his bad luck, why is it that only the people from his left were talking, not the front, not the back, or his left. It was the giant first, then the one on the left of the giant. He wondered if he could shut out sounds from his booth, it should be possible because the arena was deathly silent. As he was looking around for some sort of switch the voice sounded again
"Hey Oakstein, is that you? It is you, I know you can hear me, you have that pissed look on your face"
Gehald suddenly turned in the direction of the sound, he still couldn't see through his giant neighbor so he spread his divine sense to see who it was. He had a guess but he wanted to be sure. The image of a dark-cloaked elf appeared in his mind.
"Staten "Soul dagger" Rubit" Gehald transmitted over "It is quite a surprise seeing you here"
"Me too. I sure am surprised to see you here. Why are you here, could you have been forced or did you lose your way? Nah, that's impossible. Hmm, did you lose your way? That will explain a lot. I mean I have always wondered why you don't talk much, but I always thought you were smart or something since you are an elf and all that. But this might solve that riddle, maybe you were just stupid and didn't want to talk, maybe....."

Gehald withdrew his divine sense at this point, he couldn't bear to hear this guy rant. Staten Rubit is quite a peculiar dark elf assassin. The general impression people get from assassins is that they are quiet, silent, and stealthy people, even if normal assassins are different from this it won't be by much, but dark elf assassins fit the stereotype. Staten Rubit is a very good assassin, but he is a talker. It is almost a bother to do business with him because of all his talking, but he is too good. He became a sovereign by mastering the law of darkness but he is known for his lightning-fast one-shot kill. He was expelled from his race when he was young because he was too weak. He then started stealing to make ends meet before he got into some really bad stuff. He was then sold off as a slave, he was trained during slavery to be an assassin but he was too bad at it because of all his talking so his owner sent him to the trial of heaven as a transcendent to redeem himself. He returned alive and won back his freedom before going on to become a sovereign. He is someone the Parthenon of dark elves is even scared of.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Listen to me, listen to me. Hey, you have to listen to me. If you don't listen to me don't even come back to me again. Nah, I'm just kidding" Staten droned on and on.
Gehald already found the switch to seal himself from outside influence but he hesitated to use it. He sighed and said "Fine, I'm listening. What do you want Staten?"
"Don't be like that. Trust me you'll like it"
"I doubt that."
"Listen. I'll become an origin god soon how about you follow me and some guys to the upper realm. I know you're a loner and you won't probably like to hang out with those stuck-up high elves. So what do you say? Wanna hang out with a bunch of cool guys. We'll take the upper realm by a storm. Stellae will come too, say yes, please say yes, yes, yes..." Staten continued.
Note: It should be noted that there will not be harem or romance in this book.

Non-RR tags: Overpowered Main Character - Losing power and "starting over" - Medieval world - "Adventurers" Guild Release rate: 3 chapters per week for a couple weeks (as of 02/10/2021), then 4~5 per week. Aaron hadn't had a good fight in ages. No one in the known universe could give him one, he was just too strong. So, he was going to search for it in the unknown parts of the universe. That's when a portal appeared in front of him with a message: the dimension on the other side was in danger and requested his help. However, inter-dimensional travel came with its own rules. One of them was that his overwhelming power needed to be left behind, that he must tread the path to power from the beginning all over again. Not that it would truly hinder someone like him. Excited at the prospect of having found a worthy opponent, he stepped into the portal. On the other side, he found a medieval world controlled by a mysterious system. Holographic panels appeared at a mere thought, defining each living being in numbers, determining their classes, and changing their very selves. In a world where power reigns supreme, the morale is fluid and the enemies are diverse. But they weren't prepared to deal with him. Witness Aaron's conquest of a world full of conflict, wild beasts, and magical items.
