Gacha Sovereign-Chapter 1178: Arguing
As soon as Leoz killed that guy, he took a deep breath and checked his condition. "That was harsh."
"Yeah." Rinrin nodded and came to him before pointing at the remaining corpse.
Leoz nodded and used his Black Lightning to destroy the body into nothingness. "Huft. How are you?"
Leoz lowered his head and looked at her stomach with a concerned expression before taking a pill from the Inventory. "Take this first."
"No, no. You're the one who needs to use it." Rinrin shook her head and rejected it since Leoz's body was covered with injuries.
Leoz didn't bother with her reply, opened her mouth, and forced her to swallow the pill. The wound on her stomach started getting snitched.
"What are you doing?" Rinrin became mad because Leoz prioritized her again.
"I don't need it," Leoz said with a serious expression before making a playful expression and sticking his tongue out. For the first time, Leoz made a joke and took out another pill that gradually healed his wounds. "I have another one."
"…" Rinrin's body shook as if she just never expected to hear a joke coming from his mouth. She even placed her hand on his forehead to check his temperature. "You're not sick? Then, maybe it's a side effect from your power? Do you need help or medication?"
"I'm not sick." Leoz clicked his tongue as his expression was distorted.
"I mean, you've never told anyone a joke."
"So, I couldn't do it? Fine."
Rinrin stuck her tongue out and hugged him like a sister, saying playfully, "Don't say that. I like to see Big Brother is opening up a bit instead of becoming your dumb self."
"Oi." Leoz sighed and asked, "How is your body condition?"
"I am fine, but due to the injury earlier and how much I've exhausted my own Energy… I don't think I can fight more than this." Rinrin shook her head. "How about you?"
Leoz admitted that his body was refusing to move. "I haven't mastered my Berserker Law yet, so I don't think I should fight more since I will just be a burden. I can only hope that Master will win against that beast."
"Indeed." Rinrin nodded. "I don't wish for it to end up the same."
As the two looked at the horizon, hoping for Alex to win, another battle took place not far from them. It was the fight between the God of Greed and the God of Strength facing the Panther.
The God of Strength looked at the Panther with a serious expression before incorporating his Law into his body, increasing his strength even further. His muscles bulged slightly as he raised both hands, ready to throw a punch.
"Unfortunately for you, we both will destroy you." The God of Strength said while looking at the humanoid panther before him.
"Huh? Are you dumb? Maybe you should use that strength of yours inside your head to make your brain bigger." The Panther snorted.
"Dude… You just got owned." The God of Greed laughed out loud. Even the God of Strength glared at the God of Greed. "Oi, we're allies only for this battle, okay? I will be crushing you after this because of your earlier statement."
"I just stated a fact." The God of Greed shrugged before a loud bang echoed.
The Panther tilted his head to the right to avoid something fast coming to him before finding something just grazed his cheek. In other words, he just barely survived that attack. When he was about to respond, a loud explosion noise resounded on the battlefield.
He turned around and widened his eyes to see a huge explosion behind him. That something seemed to hit an asteroid and did that much damage.
As he turned around again, he saw a white-colored fifty centimeters long rifle held in one hand.
Yes, the one who used the gun was none other than the God of Greed.
"Come on, Dude. Can you please die? I don't want to waste too much money even though I've prepared for it." The God of Greed shook his head in disappointment as if the Panther just screwed him over because he didn't die from the bullet earlier.
"How about you try doing it for real?" The God of Strength rolled his eyes. "Look, I don't even understand why you're so obsessed with money and how this event will give you more money. We can't bring the corpse back since the agreement is to destroy it here."
"That's why you're foolish. Just by killing this guy, I will get enough reputation to support my business, meaning more business opportunities. More businesses mean more money. More money means I can expand my business and become another potential business… Means more money. That's the cycle. Eventually, I will surpass the limit and become even wealthier than that Blackwade Clan."
"But that clan is backed by the Spirit God… Are you sure you can do it?" The God of Strength tilted his head in confusion. If the Spirit God was angry, the God of Greed simply couldn't do anything. After all, Alex managed to deflect an attack that three powerful God Kings were not able to block so easily.
And knowing that precise information made the God of Greed silent before correcting his words. "I will be the second richest person in this universe."
"Are you not including the Spirit God?" The God of Strength became even more confused. "I heard this rumor when we fought together, but it seemed the Spirit God used almost two trillion Spirit Crystals to create three God Kings. And I also heard Eulja only supported a third a few hundred billion. The rest came from his pocket."
"…" The God of Greed turned pale and corrected himself again. "I will become the second of the second richest person in this universe."
"It's basically the third…" The God of Strength shook his head helplessly, facepalmed. "You just didn't want to lose, ain't you?"
"…" The God of Greed didn't answer. "Whatever! I want to be rich."
"You're greedy."
"That's what my title implies…"
"No, no. You're beyond greedy."
"Well, everyone is greedy. I mean, even I am greedy for money and women."
"Hold up. It's already arrived at the lust boundary."
"Huh? You don't understand. I am greedy for praise too."
"Look. It's Pride now. Dude, you're beyond greedy."
"What do you mean? Greed is good because it can reach everyone." The God of Greed shrugged, feeling he wasn't in the wrong.
The God of Strength facepalmed as he abandoned this guy already. He was indeed greedy for all other deadly sins too.
Because of these two conversations, the Panther became irritated and sneaked behind them, appearing right behind the God of Greed while slashing him with his claws to shred him into pieces.
However, the God of Strength had sensed him and intercepted the Panther's blow with his own fist. He gripped the fist tighter to avoid him from running away while the God of Greed turned around and shot the Panther right on his head.
As one would expect from a God King, the Panther avoided it again while listening to another explosion sound behind his back.
"Come on, can you die already? Each bullet is ten million Spirit Crystals you know." The God of Greed sighed.
"You're saying that?" The God of Strength made a bewildered face.
"You two need to f*ck the shut up! This is a battle!" The Panther roared in anger and tried to punch the God of Strength in the face.
The God of Strength simply raised his other hand to stop that attack before grabbing the Panther's shoulders before lowering him down. He then raised his knee, kicking him right on the face. "You are the one who needs to shut up. We're discussing something important here. This guy's greed knows no bounds, so I need to give him a bit of a lesson."
"What did you say?" The God of Greed shot the Panther again only to find him dodging the bullet again. "You know nothing. Money can even buy lives, not just slaves. Even an illness or poison can kill you if you don't have enough money to treat it is a good doctor, let alone the best. If I have all the money this universe can offer, then I don't need to worry about it anymore. Oh, if you want, I can give you a special discount and allow you to invest your money in me. I can bring the best of it."
"Just shut up, you greedy profiter." The God of Strength shouted and chased the Panther.
"I mean, Greed is my title. Do you want me to act like a playboy or a kid to show that I'm not God of Greed?"
"Shut up! You're messing with my own form." The God of Strength snorted and sent a fist toward the Panther, completely blowing it up on the Panther because he couldn't win against the God of Greed in an argument.
The Panther became even angrier when these two didn't seem to look at him as an opponent. They just couldn't keep spouting nonsense. "This is a battlefield, not your room to argue!"
Hearing the Panther's shout and seeing a fist coming his way, the God of Strength decided to receive the punch while sending him one to test whose strength was stronger. "You goddamn right!"
Both of them managed to deliver one strike to each other. The Panther managed to dislocate the God of Strength's Jaw while the latter broke a few ribs.
The God of Greed sighed and appeared in front of them, shooting the Panther from point-blank range. "Unfortunately, I can't have you as bonus money for this battle. Goodbye, money bag."
Unlike the God of Greed's nonchalant attitude, the Panther panicked and ducked down before trying to kick the God of Strength's lower part. The latter had no other choice and let go of the Panther's hand, allowing him to create another distance to compose himself.
"What the heck? Why did you release him? I was about to change my weapon…" The God of Greed snarled, feeling unsatisfied with the God of Strength's choice. "You could receive many attacks on your body earlier… Just be a man already."
"Dude, I was going to stop being a man if that hit landed…" The God of Strength looked helpless. These two just never got along well, especially since they were neighboring God Kings.
The only reason why the two actually participated in the Alliance that the Holy God created and quitted at the same time was due to their rivalry and all arguments like this. The God of Strength wanted to justify his own Law by showing how strong he was, while the God of Greed wanted to show how cool he was and poached the people from the neighboring God King.
"I'm sick of you!"
"I'm too! Just give me your strength and money already, I won't bother you anymore!" The two continued to fight. Of course, they didn't lower their guard down this whole time like how the two could react to whatever move the Panther made earlier.
