One of the brutes decided to step forward to fight Soverick. It looked like the other brute except for the different color of its scales. It has thickly corded muscles that show beneath its scales and a thick muscular tail. The form of the brutes is bigger than the slender form of the speedsters. This brute believes that what it has should be able to handle Soverick. It is also very angry at Soverick's nonchalant attitude towards them.
"Don't." The red-scaled immortal power among them said and laid a hand out of the six arms it has on the chest of the brute.
That action stopped the brute from going forward. The immortal power is smaller than the brutes but it can exhibit great strength if needed. The brute frowned and was about to question ask why not but he kept quiet when the immortal power shook its head.
In any other situation, the two of them will be fighting right now. They are equals. One of them can't tell the other what to do. The immortal power doesn't have any authority over the other paragons despite possessing the original divine ability of their race.
Placing a hand on the brute's chest and stopping him from doing something is to challenge his authority as a paragon. The brute would have lashed out had he not seen the severity of the situation shown by the dread in the eyes of the immortal power.
The immortal power initiated a secret conversation between them through the immortal link.
"Something is not right. You all saw what happened. He took on two speedsters and incapacitated one. He would have gotten the other too if not for interference. We have to take this seriously and delicately." He said to them.
The brute he stopped didn't agree. "You just said he would have gotten the other one if not for interference. Clearly, he can't handle three of us. There are four of us here. That should be enough to deal with him."
The immortal power insisted, "The fact that we need four of us to take him on means that this situation is already out of control. When have we paragons needed more than one of us to face a foe? The furries left him behind to guide the flag. Either they are confident in his prowess or they have given up and decided to leave one person just for show. Clearly, it is not the second option. What we have seen indicates that it has to be the first option. So we have to be cautious."
That silenced any objections. They had to listen to him because he is right and because they respect him. If anyone can lead them it is him. It is just a shame that he doesn't have that qualification. He has their original divine ability but he was born too late.
The child of the plane for this generation has already been chosen. There will be no more child of the plane until the current generation one becomes an origin god. If the child of the plane were here then he would lead them. Unfortunately, he is a Sovereign of law and this competition is just for kings of law and below.
"What is going on?" The immortal link asked them.
The immortal link is the opposite of the immortal power. Instead of taking the connections and using them for power and immortality, the immortal link becomes a nexus that connects the entire race. It acts as a heart for the paragons and allows the sharing of power between them. The immortal link is weak itself but its presence within the competition is practically cheating since it is capable of shifting the total connections of 3 million to a single paragon when needed.I think you should take a look at
The immortal link has other powers such as creating a connection for information between the paragons. They can use the connection to talk and share memories across any distance. The immortal power used that connection to share what they saw with the rest of the paragons so that every one of them knows what they are dealing with.
"That is one nasty furry. How is it so strong?" The spell tower asked.
"He said he is the child of the plane of his plane." One of them answered.
She clarified herself. "I know that and I can see the bolt of power on it. I meant that how did a furry become powerful enough to be chosen by the will of the plane as its protector? I didn't know that furries can hold that title. Imagine that."
She laughed a little. It is honestly amusing that the will of a plane will select a furry as its protector. She can't believe it happened despite seeing the lightning bolt on Soverick. She can't believe that a plane could get that desperate.
She laughed and asked. "I mean. What kind of messed up situation will lead to a furry becoming a child of the plane? He is even pretty looking. I just want to hold him in my hands and pet his fur."
She is obviously not taking Soverick seriously. She has seen the memories of the short fight with Soverick but she still can't take him seriously. Soverick is strong. That much is undeniable. But anyone will become strong if they become the child of the plane. A rat can fly if wings are attached to it. But that doesn't make it equal to a skyrat that was born with wings. Soverick is strong but they are not the same.
A brute agreed with her. "This is a simulation after all. Anything is possible in it. But nothing is real."
"There are a lot of things we didn't know about furries until today. We have learned a lot. I think we should keep an open mind. Anything is possible here after all." The immortal link provided.
The immortal power insisted, "So let's take this seriously. Real or not, it doesn't change the fact that the gold-furred furry is a threat. Threats have to be handled seriously or we will be eliminated by the threat."
