GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Soverick used his eyes to analyze a power, create a model from it, and work in tandem with his pillars of momentum to steal world power instead of just using momentum like a normal mind weapon. Then he recreated the power. Using world power is exclusively for titans of law and above but he bypassed the restriction with his eyes. It is very similar to the fifth step of weapon mastery, the world weapon. Unfortunately, he can't use that since this world has not acknowledged him yet. That is why he had to borrow from this very angry and pissed-off armored rhino.

That's the summary of how he created this Cyclops. He essentially copied the mechanism of the phantom. He tweaked it a little bit since it is only an imitation of the original. His is not as destructive but it is replenishable. The golden Cyclops he created is stable, that's why it doesn't destroy everything it comes in contact with. He can also replenish it while the armored rhino can't.

The purple phantom is defensive and attacking in nature in that it attacks anything that tries to hurt it through contact. This also means that it is unstable and unsustainable. It is constantly reducing in size to do what it does. So Soverick is trying to grind it down to get to the armored rhino within it. The phantom is also physically strong that's why their fight is like a calamity descended.

Most of the Battle sage monkeys that are aware of the fight are watching it. That is as long as they are not preoccupied with something like fighting for their lives. Most of them climbed trees to watch the fight. Even the ones that can fly kept to the tree cover because flying above the tree cover will make the horde of ravens attack them. Many have suffered for that mistake with their deaths. 

The trees that they are standing on gave them enough visibility of the two figures stampeding about like they own the place and it is also somewhat safe. The identity of the two Colossal figures can be easily guessed. There's only one person in the entire competition that can fight a monster that powerful in this stage of the challenge. It hasn't even been a day yet out of the year-long competition.

The fight itself is a display of awe. It is a statement of greatness in and of itself. Some of the challengers might never reach that level of power in the one year of the competition because of the requirement to gain that kind of strength. Killing a monster will grant you the same level of strength but killing another monster of the same strength as you is almost useless. You will have to kill thousands of the same rank to advance to another rank. 

So the best method to move swiftly through the ranks is to always fight above your level. That is common knowledge but it is not easily achievable. They will need skills outside of the power system of this world to make them powerful enough to do that but people are having difficulty flying. How are they to use the more difficult applications of momentum when they cannot harmonize with the world?

Harmonization with the world is more important than just flying. It is required for One with the World the third step of weapon mastery and it allows you to gain momentum from the world apart from the momentum of your body and your weapon. They don't even have weapons and the way to acquire weapons is also beyond them. 

So it is a testament to the talent of the Child of Plane to see him creating such chaos with wild abandon in less than 1 hour of the challenge. Most of the on-lookers have looks of awe. They might love or hate the child of the plane, but this show of strength is awesome to see. It is inspiring as well such that the blood within their bodies began to boil. 

They too want to go wild. They too want to do more than survive. They want to trample over the forest that the ravens are forcing them to keep to.

The ravens have struck fear in their hearts but no raven is disturbing Soverick now. It is proof that it can be done. All they need is strength.

Of course, there are others that are not feeling good about the sight. Some of them are frowning and some are outright downcast. It is especially noteworthy that hundreds of battle sage monkeys have formed a group and they are all frowning at the sight of the golden Cyclops carrying rocks and uprooting trees to smash the purple phantom monster. 

The knowledge that just one footstep from these two entities can crush them is not comforting at all. It certainly doesn't help since this group is formed based on the mutual aim to kill the child of the plane during this competition.

One of them asked. "What do we do now?"

That's the most important question right now. What do they do in the face of this new knowledge? They hate the Child of the plane and planned to teach him a lesson in this competition. The suppression was supposed to make them all on the same level and their advantage of numbers was supposed to give them the upper hand. 

They had dreams of paradise. They were supposed to kill the child of the plane over and over again for their pleasure in those dreams. They hoped to see him cry or plead for mercy. They wanted to trample on him and make him fail but here they are, terrified for their lives.

What are they to do? Should they go ahead to attack the child of the plane knowing that they will die or should they hide and bid their time like some cowardly warrior unworthy to bear the name of battle sage monkey? The fight is making them lean towards the decision that will preserve their lives.
