Chapter 50 - Blessing

"( I see now .... !!!! )"

"( So that's how you defeat me ..... )"

"( Those unscientific things that you do, the rulebreaking power you have ... )" Jack said as he now understands the source of Rangga's strength.

"( It's because of Magic isn't it !!!!!!!!!!!!! )" Jack says in his mind as suddenly his body emits a ravenous aura.

As Jack does that, Rangga then snaps as he immediately looks in Jack's direction after he felt Jack's menacing aura.

"( What the .... !!!!!! ??? )" Rangga said in disbelief.

"( What the hell is this menacing aura .... ?? )" He says as System suddenly pops and notifies that Jack is dangerous.

< Danger Danger Danger >

< Warning >

< " Opponent hostility increases... " >

< " Analyzing Danger ... " >

< " Analyzing ........ " >

< " Danger Threat Analyzed .... " >

< " Threat Found: ..... ">

< " ... Sin Factor Usage. " >

< " The Opponent's Sin Factor Usage Percentage suddenly Increases. ">

"( What did you say !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?? )" Rangga shouted in his mind.

Sin Factor, As we all know, before all of the candidates are teleported into the Pit, they are planted with a mark that represents their related sin. This Mark gives them a based on their implanted sins, which the Candidates can use freely to aid them in their trials.

Each of the Marks had its Blessings (based on the Sins they represent to) like the Envy sin mark is blessed with the power of "Steal", the Lust Mark is blessed with "Attraction", the Gluttony Mark Blessing is "Hunger", the Sloth Sin's Blessing is "Satisfaction", the Wrath's Blessing is "Rage", the Pride's Blessing is "Arrogance" and the Greed's Blessing is...

" Avarice ........ !!!! " Rangga says as he sees the power of the Blessing coursing through Jack's body.

As the blessing spreads through his body, many mouths suddenly showed up from his body as a part of his body turns deviantly into a Predatorious gore disgusting freak-looking monster.

As Jack growls in pain, his mind began to enter another realm as he was suddenly faced with a void place filled with mouths and teeth.

" Where am I ?? " Jack said.

" How did I even get here? has the battle finished already .. ? "

As Jack said that, suddenly a loud crack was heard and from that, a large eye appears with a big mouth also which surprised Jack.

" What the .... what are you .... ?? " Jack asks as he has never seen a thing as big as this before even when he first came to this pit.

Hearing that, the creature then answers, " My name is not really important, little Candidate ... "

" Since my so-called 'name' is so long-forgotten in the flow of time, and my very being is deforming in the time's continuance. " the being said.

" Okay .... " Jack answers as he remembered something.

"( Wait a minute is the thing's name.)"

" Wait .... giant monster or I don't know what you are .... "

" Isn't your name .... [Avarice] .... the thing that the Administrators say to be the Ancient Deviant of Greed, the Grand-Ancestor of the Slime Monster. " Jack said as he says the being's name.

" Oh, so you do know my name, good !! " Avarice said as he explains to Jack that it is very rare for the future people to know the names of some ancient beings, that's why he very surprised seeing that.

" Oh but I know, since my Administrator loves to talk about you. " Jack says as he explains that his administrator is an Apostle of Infinity related to Greed just like his Sin's Factor.

" Just what are you anyway? ... are you also related to this magic-like Pit? " Jack asked as he want to know more about this [Avarice] being.

Hearing that, [Avarice] takes his time and then explains, " Oh you can say like that!! .... since I also wanted one of my representatives to bring me the power that only the Primordial Titan, ChronoAxis can provide."

" Besides, if one of them succeed become his Candidate, I will immediately control the successor to give me the power of time itself, so I can definitely return my body to its prime age for good without any other costs. " [Avarice] said as he explains the backstory to Jack about what happened to him in the past.

" I see, so that's what happened ..... " said Jack as he analyzes the story.

" It's your cost for fighting the Diviners at that ancient war. "

" But ... what's that had to do with me? and why do I should even care for your background story? " Jack asked.

" Of course you should care !!!!! " [Avarice] said.

" Since you are the Greed's last Representative, you will be given the power of the other deceased Representative. "

" Because of that, I need to warn you, .... that when you use my blessing, you will indeed be gifted by all sorts of powers that the others gained during their time here.... "

" ....With a cost. " [Avarice] said, which Jack hears carefully since the being began to explain the cost.

" What is it? ... what cost I had to take to receive the Blessing? " Jack asks.

" Will I be dead and be eaten by you? or You would enslave forever in this realm? and etc etc etc. "

Hearing that, Avarice tells him that the cost is, " Your Life .... Your very body ... Your very soul ... "

" That will be devoured by the Blessings if you fail to maintain its aggressive desires."

" But don't worry my representative, ... I won't enslave your soul when you die because of that ... "

" After all, ... "

" Your existence will be erased due to my Blessing's 'Devour' effect. " [Avarice] said.

Jack thinks for a moment and then decided that he will take the blessings since he kinda needs the power now and assures [Avarice] that he can hold the power for good since he is strong.

" Alright then, " [Avarice] says as he gives the Blessing to Jack.

" Use it well .... "

As [Avarice] gives his blessings further, Jack began to feel more pain as he now was filled with an amount of power that he never imagined before.

" GGGRRRRAAAAHHHHH ....... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Jack said as the Blessing runs through his veins.

" GrrahhaHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA .... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

" I'll Fricking kill you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Jack said as he transform his hand into a monstrous spike tentacle whip to attack Rangga.

But, .... thankfully he missed due to Rangga fleeing away as far as he can fearing that the attack could have some side effects.

"( It's a based attack .... an attack that I rarely encounter before since many of the Candidates had a hard time to awaken the fully awaken their ... )"

"( This could be bad ... )" Rangga says as he runs away fleeing from the scene since Jack's tentacle spreads fast as it engulfed the entire room.
