GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Demon gods can achieve any level of speed, regardless of the specialty of their Supreme Laws. It is just a matter of how much energy they are willing to consume.

Technically, they can all reach the speed of light, which is the limit of the light side. But acceleration is different for each Supreme Law, and most importantly, energy requirements become exponential the closer they are to the speed of light. Just a second at the speed of light will consume a large amount of energy, so demon gods rarely move that fast.

If this clone of PRIDE had been rushing over from the moment PRIDE decided to give up, that means it must have been traveling for 5 minutes. If it has been traveling at the speed of light for all 5 minutes, then it must be very desperate and very angry right now.

All of these were clear to Aeternus, but he didn't stop what he was doing. An angry person doesn't reduce his appetite. If anything, it adds a little spice to the taste.

The two golden clouds roared in anger at the same time, "You abomination. You will rue the day you decided to cross me. I will destroy every part of your existence and make you suffer."

The new golden cloud was bigger than the previous one he fought, and it was poised to smash against them, but Aeternus still didn't let up. He continued to demolish and consume PRIDE.

He wasn't negligent, though. He could escape, but that would mean giving up on the nice morsel in his hands. He was not willing to do that so he spared some of his attention and power to address PRIDE's second attempt at liberation.

He formed a large barrier of Chaos energy around him. Then he strengthened it with layers upon layers of more barriers until it formed into a black wall thicker than a kilometer.

PRIDE's second body didn't stop. It streaked across the purple-hued sky like a golden comet and smashed against the black wall. The collision created a massive explosion of light and sound that was strong enough to push Aeternus back.

The barrier cracked, but it held during the explosion. However, PRIDE wasn't done yet. The golden cloud had morphed into a thin thread before the collision. The thread penetrated the wall on contact during the explosion and was drilled into it like a screw.

The golden thread that PRIDE had become was longer than a kilometer in length, so it was able to penetrate past the thickness of the barrier. Only its head had entered the wall initially, but then it forced its body to collapse and transferred all of its energy into the head of the thread within the wall. This caused the part within the wall to expand abruptly. The wall exploded for a second time.

This explosion was closer to home than the previous one. It also happened while the first one was still going on. There was just a split second between the time they started. So two explosions occurred simultaneously on the outside and inside of the barrier. It caused the barrier to shatter.

That wasn't all. The second explosion happened too close to Aeternus, so he was finally wounded. It was practically in his face. It made him lose a layer of his face and body.

PRIDE was not done yet. It changed from the large spherical ball that it had become into a spear quickly, and then it shot itself directly at Aeternus's main body.

Aeternus couldn't scatter his body into an energy form to avoid the upcoming collision. His body is not as flexible as the other demon gods because he is not one with his energy. However, he didn't need to be flexible.

Soul fore exploded outwards from him towards PRIDE. His shard of power empowered it, and Chaos energy was infused into it. The black cloud around him turned into a giant black metallic armor in front of him.

The armor moved independently, and it struck the spear. PRIDE changed its body again into a sickle. It sliced the arm that the giant armor tried to use to smash it.

The arm was cut through easily, like a hot blade through butter. It turned into black wisps of smoke, which then returned to the armor. The stub on the arm healed as it regenerated.

The giant armor roared and grew another pair of arms that it used to wrestle with PRIDE. PRIDE too, increased the violence by a notch. It turned into a massive, golden tornado of blades. Like a spinning top, it shredded the arms and the face of the giant armor.

Meanwhile, Aeternus was able to get a moment of respite from PRIDE's onslaught of attacks. He would have been the one blended to bits if he had faced PRIDE head on. He can't deny that. Fortunately, he had the good sense to create an avatar.

The avatar is connected to him directly because it was created blended to bits if he had faced PRIDE head on. He can't deny that. Fortunately, he had the good sense to create an avatar.

from his energy, and it needs the constant support of his energy to remain in existence. That means it can go too far from him. But it solves a big problem for him. He may not be flexible, but his energy is. All he needed was a powerful force to give it form. That's where soul force comes in.

PRIDE was winning their confrontation. It was shifting his body very quickly into whatever it needed at any moment. The changes were blindingly fast. They carried so much momentum, speed, and power that there was a crack of thunder each time PRIDE changed his form.

It was like the cracking of a whip moving faster than sound. PRIDE was moving several times faster than sound. Thunder was created so fast, so many times, and so powerful that they were more of attacks themselves than the byproducts of other attacks.

The world was rocking around them trying to keep up with the changes. Anymore and PRIDE could actually break the power limit of the light side of the universe and reach the level of world gods.
