GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Legion-5 flew to the hex on the right side first. He was noticed by the surveillance system as soon as he entered the hex. He wasn't hiding so the basic surveillance of the base found him pretty quickly. It also issued a warning to him.

[You are intruding on private property. Stop and state your purpose now or you will be shot down]

The warning was loud so he heard it clearly. But he didn't stop. He just grinned and activated his divine abilities. His skin morphed into dragon scales. Thick blue reptilian scales appeared all over his body including his empty face. Two blue horns grew on his head and a mighty pressure exploded out of him. The pressure forced lesser creatures to knee and bow their heads.

Then he activated the origin diamond divine ability. It converted the metallic blue scales into translucent crystalline scales. The scales are still thick. They are so thick that they make him look bigger. But now they also sparkle like precious gems.

He roared in greeting. A slit opened in his scaled face and expanded. It is a jagged hole that is clearly not good enough for a mouth. It is more of a maw and it is good enough to cause the air in front of him to vibrate and undulate at a high frequency to create a shockwave.

His roar rang throughout heaven and earth. Everyone in the plane heard it. If there was any doubt about his purpose before, that doubt has been cleared now. He is here to exercise the privilege of the strong.

Some might say he is here to rob the base. The owner of the base thought so and was aversed to it. He didn't want Legion-5 to enjoy his privilege so the base entered high alert mode immediately. Energy was diverted from other sections of the base to the defensive systems. The energy shield of the base was reinforced and its single Cannon that had been prepared for such emergencies fired at him.

Another roar answered Legion-5's roar as a large beam of white light tore through the air towards him. The world screamed shrilly because of the passage of the high-energy beam. This is the attack of the weakest canon that came with the base.

Legion-5 braced himself for impact. He couldn't dodge even if he wanted to. So he created thick translucent barriers around himself with his powerful divine sense. The air warped in front of him but that wasn't enough for him. He drew upon the power of the world around him to reinforce the translucent cocoon he had formed around himself. It led to the creation of a grey phantom shell around him.

The beam from the cannon struck him head-on and blasted him out of the sky. There was no explosion of energy. There was only a shockwave due to the rapid expansion of air as the beam passed through the air. But that doesn't mean that there was no damage.

Legion-5 was struck down from the sky and plowed deep into the ground. The beam pierced through his defense and struck him in the chest. Its power had reduced drastically but it was still stubborn.

It sought to cut him in half and destroy him completely. But the defenses of his body held on so the beam could only push him deeper into the ground. A deep gorge lined with lava appeared in the ground because of their collision.

The world returned to peaceful silence after the laser exhausted its attack. No one broke that silence. Everyone watched attentively to see if a supreme beast had fallen today. There are a lot of people watching because of the commotion. There was nothing but silence for a while. Then there was a roar of triumph from deep within the gorge.

That roar shook the depths of the gorge just as it shook the heart of the defender cowering behind the shield of the base. A figure rushed out of the gorge and shot towards the base again. But this time, there was no beam to attack. The cannon was still loading after exhausting itself.

The owner of the base shouted to Legion-5, "Please stop. You are making enemies of the Draga Alliance. My allies are rushing over as we speak."

Legion-5 didn't stop. "I don't care about your allies. Give me 10% of all your resources and a single point. Then I'll leave."

He believes that that is a good price to ask for. He is not even asking for all of their points. It is little compared to what he will get if he kills this supreme beast. He will get half of their points and all of their resources. So he is being reasonable here.

But this guy doesn't know what's good for him. He shouted indignantly. "I will not be extorted. If you want my things, then come and take them."

"I like that too. I like it very much."

That's what he planned to do in the first place so he didn't have a problem with the show of stubbornness. There was a loud crashing sound as Legion-5 slammed into the shield. He was rebuffed again. He was shot backward as if slung from a catapult. The barrier had reflected the force of his collision back to him.

He smashed into the ground some distance away and created a crater. But he rose up from the crater almost immediately as if he wasn't hurt at all. Then he shot towards the barrier again.

This time, his trip to the barrier didn't go smoothly. He was interrupted by golems sent out of the base. The golems are small and thin. They are completely black which indicates that they are the lowest level of golems that can be produced. Even so, each one of them can tussle with a titan of law if only briefly. There are 11 of them so they can probably delay him until the cannon finishes accumulating energy for another shot.
