Disciple of Immortal-Chapter 38Act 5: : Judge of Avarice

「Why would a homunculus… want to start a revolution…?」

「Why, is it? Well, I guess there’s nothing wrong with teaching you the reason.」

Said Greed as he bared his fangs.

「The reason is because I truly despise humans. Those greedy and ugly creatures truly disgust me. The more they claim they are different, the uglier they are, and their facade will be gone once everything is stripped away. That’s why I want to become the ruler of this world… and transform everything into an ultimate capitalist city like Polorock, a city driven by competition! All humans shall drown in their desire like the merchants of Polorock… fighting, hating, and trampling on each other! I shall transform this world into an ultimate hell for those detestable humans! HAHAHAHAHA!」

Those sinister remarks sent a chill down my spine.

Just what happened to him for him to hate this world so much?

「In short, you just want to make humans suffer… That’s going too far.」

「Kukuku, going too far, is it? I’m just giving them a nudge… It’s their own greed that drags them to hell, for that is the human’s mortal sin! I shall become the arbiter of greed in this world! That’s why you have to die here and become the pillar of my ambition!」

Greed leaped toward me as soon as he finished those words.

He tried to crush me with his giant arms.

I jumped to dodge his attack, running along his arms and slashing his shoulder with my sword.

「GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!」

Greed countered by swinging his giant tail toward me.

「You seem to have some skill, but a mere human like you can never hope to defeat me! I’ve undergone countless self-evolutions since I was born while hating humans like you! A lowly, weak human like you can never be—!」

I used my left arm to block Greed’s tail.

The floor cracked due to the impact when I blocked his tail blow.

「That was quite a heavy blow.」

「H-How can it be? Impossible, this can’t be! How can you receive my blow as if it’s nothing!?」

Greed swung his tail again to crush me.

It seemed I was an irregular in Greed’s plan.

It seemed he never expected that my level was higher than his.

That anxiety might be the reason why he tried to defeat me with brute force.

「Dammit… Why…!?」

Greed retracted his tail.

But I wouldn’t let him do that.

I grabbed his tail and pulled it toward me.

「AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!」

That pull was powerful enough to send Greed’s body flying toward me.

Then I slashed at him the moment he was within range of my sword.

My slash left a deep wound on his body, slamming him onto the floor, scattering a lot of black body fluid.

The floor was destroyed when I slammed Greed, sending him straight down to the first floor.

「Impossible… This shouldn’t happen! I’m created as a toy for humans… to fulfill their selfish wishes… and robbed of everything! I’ve survived this far just for this reason! Like hell I’m going to be defeated in this place!」

I leaped quickly to chase after Greed.

「Seeing that you don’t know about me… I guess you’re not one of the 《Invisible Hand of God》.」

I don’t think he had a connection with them… but…

「I won’t be defeated! I’m fighting while bearing the corpse of my brethren who were used and then discarded by you filthy humans! Defeat is not an option!」

Greed’s huge frame expanded even bigger.

Countless tentacle-like appendages sprouted from his body, each with sharp claws at their tips.

Then masks appeared one after another on his giant frame.

Greed’s form became more and more repulsive with each passing second.

「GWAHAHAHAAHAHA! UNLIKE YOU INFERIOR HUMANS! I CAN KEEP EVOLVING MY BODY AND MIND! THIS FORM SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU AT BAY! IT’S TIME FOR THE 2ND ROUND, KANATA!」

「… Forgive me, I still have to defeat you even while knowing how you feel. Nevertheless… Your existence will only harm this world.」

Greed’s body trembled nonstop upon hearing my remarks.

「You haven’t won yet… Puny humaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!」

Greed roared as he rushed toward me.

I was jumping around while parrying the incoming tentacle attacks.

I moved around the debris, kicking the walls around Greed.

Since the difference between our levels was around three thousand, there was no need to go all out.

Especially when Greed used every single one of his countless tentacles to drive me into a corner.

Once I got caught by them, I would be at his mercy.

「Hahahahaha! What happened to your previous bravado!? You’re doing nothing but dodging for a while now!」

「《Slow World》」

I pointed my sword toward the fast-approaching tentacles and deployed a giant magic circle.

Time-Space Magic, 12th Rank.

The magic circle, with a diameter of 5 meters, then turned into a transparent purplish sphere.

The tentacles’ speed visibly slowed down the moment they entered the sphere.

「Paltry tricks…!」

Another tentacle came from the opposite direction.

I leaped toward the tentacle that was slowing down due to the effect of 《Slow World》.

Since one part of his body became slower than the rest, Greed’s body must be under extreme stress right now.

I kept moving toward the tentacle whose movement was impeded yet kept creeping toward me… The focus on that part must be divided from the rest.

That created a blind spot for Greed, who was controlling countless tentacles.

I kicked the wall to jump into the air and deployed a magic circle using the tentacle as cover.

Greed reacted to me jumping above him, but it was too late.

「Overhead…!」

「《Gravibomb》!」

A black light shone over Greed’s head.

The light pulled the space around it, and then imploded from inside.

「I mustn’t get hit by this dangerous magic…!」

Greed tried to get away from that place as fast as he could.

But since even the space was imploding due to the gravity, Greed’s attempt to flee from that place had already failed.

Greed’s head was torn to shreds.

His tentacles and giant frame fell and were buried under the rubble.

Mysterious black fluid sprayed around him.

A cracked crystal… The 《Mechanical Moon》 rolled before him.

It seemed to have been torn from his body and swallowed by the implosion.

The small gears inside the 《Mechanical Moon》 that were exposed to the sunlight spun slowly and then stopped moving immediately.
