GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1878: Double Good Mood.

So he said to them, "The void universe is a very big place. I want to see what your world gods have that makes them so confident in threatening me."

Then he attacked. He led with a divine strike and followed with an attack with golden light.

One of the God Kings roared in anger and said, "You have gone too far this time around. We are not here to fight. We represent the will of seven world gods. To kill us is to disrespect them blatantly."

Legion-1 shook his head and said, "I don't think so. I think I have gone just far enough. If you have a problem with what I am doing, you can go and ask the world god supporting me."

He already knew that every god was here on behalf of a world god. He knew that right from his first day in the divine realm and before he began hunting the gods en masse. The fact that these world gods have just finally decided to band together and find him in the void universe won't deter him.

In fact, he is thinking of implicating the first sage by claiming that the scheming snake of a world god is the one supporting him. But that would only create more trouble than its worth. So he gave up on the idea.

Maybe other origin gods would be afraid. Actually, a sensible origin god should be afraid of a group of world gods working together to get them. But his situation is one where sensibility won't make a difference to him.

So he made another divine strike to kill the god. Actually, his job is to stall the domain gods while the other five Orc Bandits come to join him in killing them.

Killing them might only drop 50,000 divinity each, but it is still going to be worth it to kill them. 350,000 divinity is just too much for him to give up because of some world gods. He also might get lucky and they drop a domain. So no, he won't let them go.

Besides, if he lets them go now just because they threatened him, what else would he have to give up later when they threaten him? They are asking that he stop hunting them now. Will they ask for some divinity next? Or would they take a fancy to his domain?

It is a slippery slope. Once he gives an inch, they will surely ask for a mile. So it is not just that he is too greedy to give up on hunting them. It is also a smart idea not to give in to their threat.

While this was going on, Taylor was fighting the orc again. He did so again and again for hours on end. No god was watching him at this time. They were too distracted, and he was too boring. Only Legion-9 felt like watching him after a few hours.

Something good had happened that put him in a good mood, so he was willing to watch the floundering mortal stumble about like some clumsy oaf.

He shook his head and laughed at the sight. Then he thought to himself, "They move like babies."

He is comparing them to babies because of all the unnecessary movements they make when moving. This and the many errors that Taylor is displaying are something that is beaten out of kids at their respective family academies.

As for babies in high heaven born with immortal bloodlines, some of them will move better than Taylor. But the man was a mortal, and he was in a good mood, so he found a way to be entertained by the sight.

He also had to admit that the mortal was making some progress. With each fight, he managed to reduce the time it took to defeat the orc.

Taylor was in a good mood too. He also noticed the improvements in his skill in every battle. So he didn't stop fighting the Orc until he finished a match while laughing. He was so satisfied with the fight that he laughed.

He said to himself, "That is what a fight is supposed to be. It is supposed to be a dance. It is supposed to be instinctual movement where danger is escaped by a razor's edge."

The fight had beaten his awkward movements out of him. It has helped him regain his heyday, where he was carefree and smooth. He even managed to increase his mana boost to 50% and the proficiency of his skills to 70%. It is a wonderful feeling that left him wanting for more. So he took a C-rank mission.

He didn't worry himself about victory or defeat. He didn't let the knowledge that C-rank missions were the great divide between the skilled and unskilled trainees. He just went into the fight with the sole aim of getting his sword into his enemy.

The mission was to fight a knight giant. He found it in a large field waiting for him. The sun was high in the sky, beating down on them angrily.

The knight giant said to him, "Have you come to die, puny human?"

He replied calmly, with his sword held forward in his single hand, "No. I have come to bring you death."

The giant bellowed in laughter. Its large hand slapped its chest armor, which caused it to rattle.

The giant was almost three times his height. It was at least 5 meters, while he was just 1.7 meters. It was also large and heavily armored. So it stood over him like a giant metal wall that could move and swing a blade.

He wouldn't be able to climb a wall that tall if it didn't have armor or a sharp and large sword. If it were standing still, he would be helpless against it. But he is somehow supposed to kill this humanoid and armored walking wall.

He muttered under his breath, "There's nothing to it. Just put the sword in it. You can't put a sword in a wall, but you can do so for this."
