GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1296 The Whale Killer.

He saw a tyrant of a soul prowler prowling around the edge of the feeding ground like a lion walking around a sheep farm. Nothing could threaten it. It was literally swallowing soul fragments and soul prowlers whole. Unaware or aware didn't make any difference to it.

This soul prowler is almost a hundred times bigger than his current size. That means it is more than ten thousand times bigger than when he just came to the spiritual dimension.

The size didn't daunt him. He said, "This is the perfect opportunity to use the whale killer."

He produced the maximum amount of tentacles that he could manage. This is 99 which is a lot. He is a hundred times bigger so this is to be expected. Then he brought the tentacles together to form a large spear. Next, he twisted them and shot toward the whale of a soul prowler.

"What are you?" It asked.

The soul prowler sensed him when he got within a thousand meters of it. At first, it was confused by the strange energy around Legion-7 that it had never encountered. But it sensed the threat to its life so it didn't dwell for long on it.

Its shape unfurled to reveal its large tentacles. Apparently, it had wrapped its tentacles around its core. The tentacles are thin and flat. But they are wide so they look more like claymores. It slashed the tentacles at Legion-7.

Legion-7 didn't stop. He continued to speed up and accumulate momentum. He was also rotating like a drill as he shot forward. So the tip of his spinning spear clashed with the edge of a tentacle. Or so the soul prowler expected.

Legion-7 didn't hit the tentacle at all. He slipped right by it after adjusting his direction. Then he stabbed into the whale. The soul prowler used his flat tentacles as defense. It wrapped them around it so he couldn't avoid it this time.

The spinning spear met the tentacle and drilled past it into the soft flesh behind it. He was rewarded with a resounding roar of pain that he felt from within the inside of the soul prowler.

"Go on my whale. Scream for me."

He continued to drill into the soul prowler so more and more screams were delivered. The soul prowler tried to get him out but it was too clumsy. It didn't have hands or fingers. Its sharp tentacles couldn't help it in this situation.

What's worse came next. Nether water rushed into the wound right after him. It caused the soul prowler so much pain that it lost its mind. It began clawing into the wound to expel Legion-7 without regard for its safety.

It roared, "Get out you bug."

Legion-7 laughed. "I can't. I'm lost and stuck. You will have to make me."

He truly is stuck but he is not lost. He knows where exactly he is. And he could have gotten out when nether water expanded the wound he created. Instead, he drilled more into the soul prowler. So he is only partly sincere in his ineptitude.

The whale killer was a success. He can say that with the uttermost confidence after trying it several times. The move causes catastrophic damage to any soul prowler no matter their strength. He can also always count on nether water to make it worse for them.

So he is not only a bully in the spiritual dimension, but he is not even fighting fair. He is always teaming up with the nether water when fighting soul prowlers that he can't kill easily. No one could stand in his way. The one that tried and could have succeeded was pushed into the black hole and destroyed by it.

The soul prowler was too strong for Legion-7 so he handed it over to the dead Origin god to kill. As for the rest that couldn't resist him, they became Geraldirah Oakstein and joined the hive cocoon of soul fragments around him.

He became very big after years of hunting. This continued for tens of years and his food only increased. This is because the gravitational field grew stronger as time passed so it brought more soul fragments and drew more soul prowlers to the feeding ground.

Soverick was born during this period of time. He became the child of the plane and granted Origin energy to all the clones. Aeternus and Helios used Origin energy to great effect but Origin energy is mostly useless to legion-7 since he can't grow stronger with it.

The Origin energy supply didn't go to waste though. He found out that it is a boon to the grafted soul fragments. They are not like him who is a fragment of the soul of an Origin god. They can still grow stronger with Origin energy.

All of the soul fragments are at least fragments of the souls of transcendents. This is because the souls of lesser creatures will be destroyed as soon as they come to the spiritual dimension. No amount of awareness or obsession can save them.

The souls of transcendents on the other hand possess a part of their bodies which grants them a sort of physical resilience. This helps them to resist the nether water for a short period of time.

This short opportunity gives them a chance to struggle for survival. If their obsession is strong enough then they will awaken. If not then they will be doomed.

Unfortunately, there is no Origin energy in the spiritual dimension for them to recover. There isn't even mana. The world wants to kill them not help them grow. So even the ones that become aware rarely avoid a second death.

The soul sphere broke the restriction of the availability of energy in the spiritual dimension. It created a channel from the world of manifestation to the spiritual dimension through Legion-7.

It is nothing new since the great mother has something similar to it. But the supply of Origin energy finally gave Legion-7 the chance to match the great mother in quantity very quickly.
