DEVIANT-Chapter 416 - Fated Battle between Greed and Gluttony

416 Fated Battle between Greed and Gluttony

“Who do you think will win?” Alex asked with an amused look on his face causing the duo to frown.

They were defeated easily by this man and only decided to join hands with him because he was practically carrying out their master’s orders for them. With a more powerful being on their side, their chances of winning are far higher than fifty percent.

“My master of course….” Blink replied decisively which made Alex chuckle in response.

His indifferent look remained pinned on the only figure seated in the room.

“Have you considered the possibility of him losing because I have been a god longer?” Alex asked with an interested look on his face, even though he wasn’t looking at Blink.

There was a time when it was his world that was getting invaded. There was a time he was the one defending his world from invaders but now he has become something capable of invading worlds. Reaching this level is no small feat, so he expected a certain level of respect at the very least.

“No” Blink and Armanthos replied mechanically.

It was as if the response was automatic.

“Our world was once suppressed by these invaders too and the only one who actually came close to succeeding in repelling them is my master. Somehow they were able to win against him but my master has become death itself. Death can never die therefore death can never lose” Blink said with a stern look on his face.

Heh!

Alex’s smile widened. The more he heard about Damon from the mouths of the people who surrounded him, the more excited he felt when he knew the final battle will most likely be between them.

Greed can not coexist with an equal. He will keep taking until there is nothing else to take while Gluttony can never be satisfied with what it has until it has consumed it all.

If Damon kills him, he wins and gains his powers…

If he manages to consume Death, he will gain the powers of death and become the ultimate lifeform.

“After the battle in the heavens. There will be one final battle and I assure you it will be between your master and me. Only then will we get the answer to this question” Alex said with a smile causing the others to frown?

It was clear this being was not afraid of death and if there is one thing they have learned over the years it is that such confidence is built over repeated victories. This man was like this because he too has lived a vicious and violent life like their master.

“Let’s see how well he does against the blood mage. He will be the first sacrifice that will be made to the God of death in hopes of helping him regain his power” Alex said while looking at Klien’s piece on the board.

With an army of two thousand strong supernatural beasts, they should be enough to bring up Damon’s strength by something reasonable.

“The snake girl, I can’t feel her presence on the island even though I specifically asked her to stay?” Alex’s eyes widened as he realized he had forgotten something.

“Lucy has been with Klien from the very beginning, so it is only fair she dies with him. They are the oldest surviving friends of my master and must be treated with respect. While leading this army, I request you consider our past and understand the reason we make some decisions” Blink said in a venomous tone even though his words were nice.

Hearing this, Alex simply yawned and said nothing. He too had a family and has lost so many people. No one can understand these sentiments more than he does. His silence killed the tension in the air, only then could Blink and Armanthos breathe casually.

This man seated there is no man but a true Demon and the most terrifying part is that he is just one-half of the sin of Gluttony yet he already has the strength to rival Damon.

If what this man says happens and the final battle is between the sin of Gluttony and Greed, the one with the highest chance of coming out of it alive is this man.

...... Garrett Family residence, Underground cave......

Cecile descended the stone stairs of the Underground chamber while leading the way. Within his mind, Damon remained silent and watched. These people were willing to wait a while before bringing Cecile down there to determine his star ranking since they felt it was best to wait a month or two after the manifestation of his inheritance and allow it to develop fully. Yet this happened, and as their only attack option, they are forced to push their plans forward.

As soon as they reached the bottom of the stone stairs, Cecile was greeted with a strange sight. It was like a bottomless pit with countless rock pillars placed fairly apart from each other.

At the center, there were five pillars largely placed far from each other.

“There are called the five stars of the order. It is said the stars align and are attracted to special people like us. The number you are able to attract determines your star rank” Rose explained as he moved to the edge of the final step and all the pillars lit up

Instantly three pillars amongst the five at the center lit up and began moving in his direction.

“This will be a problem….” Damon instantly said with a grave look on his face as he realized what this is.

Only a fool will believe the Beyond would create such a test and not have hidden intentions.

If another being attained the five-star rating as the Beyond, do they really think she would sit idle and do nothing?

A supreme being would never like to share the spotlight with anyone. This is one thing Damon was very sure of.

If Cecile takes this test and is a bona fide five-star being, he will be the first to die.
