GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1546 The Hand Behind The Scene.
1546 The Hand Behind The Scene.
The surveillance and sensory systems of the Leviathans can't tell who or what he is. If not for the warping of space, which they are extra sensitive to, then they wouldn't even know that someone was there. It is as if there is a blind spot in their senses. If not for the fact that they are nonliving and have no consciousness or cognition, they would have instinctively ignored the perception of the warping space around them.
Unfortunately, they are cold machines, so the little discrepancies in their sensory data didn't escape their notice. Instead, the anomaly made the Leviathans prioritize eliminating him. But it is easier said than done. They can't track his movements fast enough, so their attacks are always one step behind. They made up for that with the generous use of carpet bombing. But even then, they always missed him. This caused their evaluation of his threat level to increase again. The Leviathans communicated amongst themselves, so more than one Leviathan redirected their firepower to eliminate him. This number increased from 3 to 10 very soon. That still wasn't enough, so they increased it until 20 Leviathans were focused on only him. This caused a hole to appear in their defenses because they were focusing on a single person. The attacking Origin gods used that hole to get closer to the Leviathans. "What will you do now?" Soverick thought to himself. He saw the answer to that question before it happened. It made him laugh. "How sinister. I like it." There is a hole in the defenses, and this vulnerability didn't elude the senses of the Origin gods. Not when their divine senses are large enough to cover a plane. Many Origin gods decided to take advantage of this vulnerability. They changed their direction and approached through this hole. They got a free path to the Leviathans thanks to Soverick's successful distraction. Many of the Origin gods wouldn't have tried to get closer to the Leviathans if not for the vulnerability. They were content with threatening it from a distance and making them use up their energy for attacks and defense. But a hole appeared for close combat Origin gods and those with special concepts that need contact for effectiveness to approach. They thought it was an opportunity, but it was a trap. The Leviathans suddenly switched their focus from the hidden enemy and trained their cannons on the vulnerability. These Origin gods had packed themselves in a tight space and in a straight line. They couldn't dodge. Hitting them was as easy as hitting rats in a barrel. The Leviathans just couldn't miss. That's why Soverick called the Leviathans sinister. He liked their scheme, but he wasn't going to let them have their way. The attacks came to erase the Origin gods who were like sitting ducks waiting for their deaths. But then a cloaked individual appeared in front of them. The space in front of the individual slowed down until it froze. A large black rift appeared in the frozen space in front of the attacks. Then it swallowed all the attacks. The attacks disappeared into the spatial rift. It was as if they fell off the edge of a cloak. Meanwhile, beneath the cloak of the individual that blocked the attack, every eye on his body had opened. It granted him a 360-degree vision of the past, present, and future. Then the cloaked individual disappeared again. Soverick had used two concepts for that effect. One is Legion-1's world devour, and the other is his All Seeing Eye. He can't miss anything on the battlefield. Not even when it happened in the past or has yet to occur.
His efforts directly doubled the power of the Origin gods. With the trap nullified, the Origin gods continued directly towards the Leviathans through the vulnerability. No one batted an eye at what he did. They all continued to fight in one form or another. If he had used Aeternus's Chaos energy to destroy the attacks, then the fight might have paused. But he appears to be perfectly normal and not some weird demon in control of an even weirder power, so they focused on their fight instead of him. Only the Leviathans were not at peace with the development. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do about it. All their moves could be predicted before they happened. With his actions, the attackers were slowly and surely getting closer to their goal. It is an unmistakable development. All the participants could see and tell that the progress of the fight was being directed and manipulated by a single person. After all, the senses of Origin gods cover the whole battlefield. They are also smart, so they noticed the little things that Soverick did and were able to paint a full picture of his influence through their combined effects. Some Origin gods couldn't help but feel doubts about being manipulated.
Soverick noticed the doubt and its effects. His willing fighters were starting to hold back. They don't want to be played, and he can see this because he can see that in the future, they will leave if they consider him too much of a threat. He complimented them, "That's smart. Fear the manipulator, not the attacks. Be wary of the hidden danger rather than the Leviathans. I would do that too." But then he shook his head and said, "But what do you have to fear? You're immortal, aren't you? What's the worst that can happen?" He finds it amusing that these powerful entities, which are more like non-living things, are afraid of him. But he knows that their reaction is wise and that there's nothing he can do to assuage their fears. This is a special situation where talking won't help. No one is going to believe him if he says he wasn't the one who shared the location of this child of the plane. They are already doubting if there is a child of the plane here. It doesn't help his reliability that he has hidden his identity and figure.
