GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1714: You Fool.



One thing of note is that the two armies have the same number of soldiers. This is because the twins have access to each other's memories. They can prepare for each other very well because they know what the other is planning.

They can't kill each other themselves because of their synched memories and thoughts. It is why they had to have helpers to kill the other twin. This is not a normal fight at all. The immortals are trying to kill the twins instead of each other.

It is more of a game. The twins are kings that are to be protected. They don't direct their soldiers at all so that the other twin won't know their tactics. The soldiers have to simultaneously protect their king while trying to kill the other king.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In a way, this is a fight of luck. The lucky one will have helpers that will kill the other twin first. Or in case someone chooses to interfere and kill one twin first.

Despite them knowing what each other is thinking, they don't have the same talent. Noctin is good at fighting. That is his talent. He has always been very good at utilizing his environment and weapons in fighting. He can think on his feet and improvise if need be. It comes to him naturally and instinctively.

Noctus, on the other hand, is the intelligent one. He has always been better at comprehending laws and creating concepts. But Noctin has access to his knowledge, so he has always been coasting off of Noctus.

The combination of Noctus's knowledge and Noctin's fighting instincts has made Noctin the more powerful Origin god. But things have changed now that they want to create a Supreme

Law.

Noctus, being the intelligent one, has an advantage in creating the Supreme Law. He wants to fuse their existence so that they can create a Supreme Law with at least four aspects.

If the two of them choose to work together on a single Supreme Law, their Supreme Law might even be able to maintain two states at the same time. That means they might be able to possess supreme speed and defense at once. But Noctin refused that prospect, so Noctus has to force it.

By forcing it, their Supreme Law won't be as good as maintaining two states at once, but it will still have four aspects, which is very good since most world gods only have three aspects. Noctus believes that the extra aspect of duality is worth the sacrifice of his twin, so they must fight.

Noctin has access to the Supreme Law of Noctus, but that is not a good thing. He surely can't use it because that would mean he is admitting defeat. Using it will come with repercussions that will erode his identity, so he has to kill Noctus before he can complete it.

This situation can only end in the death of one of them or part of both of them. They both can't work away unscathed from this.

Noctus was trying to appease him. He said, "Let this happen. The erosion of the Supreme Law will be painless. You won't even notice it. We will become one after it happens. We will be stronger for it."

Noctin roared in reply, "Never."

Noctus, ever the reasonable one, tried to be reasonable. "This is only wasting our time and our resources. Do the right thing. Let us become one."

Noctin disagreed. "It is good that your resources are being wasted. It will certainly delay you. That is good enough for me."

"You fool. You are being delayed too. We are both being delayed. Your stubbornness is making us weak and slow. This is leading us nowhere."

Noctin ignored reason and chose to continue the battle. This is not the first time they are having this fight, and it certainly won't be the last. They will fight until one of them dies.

The thing that Noctin hates the most about his twin is his frequent use of the word "fool". Noctus is more intelligent, and he is not humble about it at all. He doesn't shy away from pointing that out a lot.

Noctin is not stupid. He is a genius too. But his genius is in another aspect. He is not good at thinking long-term, like Noctus. Maybe that is why they are fighting instead of working together. They simply have two points of view that cannot be reconciled.

There are just some things that people are born with, that hard work doesn't overcome, and access to each other's minds cannot overcome. Sure, the two of them will become better when they become one, but Noctus prefers freedom. He wants to be free from the person that has been living in his head all of his life.

Their fight was witnessed by a certain white, invisible lady. She chuckled and thought to herself, "This reminds me of our struggle."

The fight between the twins reminds her of her own situation. The main difference is that she and her siblings are triplets. They also were not born with access to each other's minds, but they were born with powers that negate the other two.

They were originally one, but their father split them into three. If they could overcome each other and return to being one, then they would become stronger for it. But only one of them wants to fuse. The other two like their freedom too much.

Their fusion and return to one can be very easy if they are of one mind in its pursuit. It will be instantenous too. They won't need any external item or help. But they don't want to lose themselves, so they fight each other.

Unfortunately, they were born to be each other's bane, so none of them can force the fusion. At least not yet. But if one of them evolves ahead of the others and grows stronger, then that one can force the fusion. It will mean that the two others or maybe all of them will be eroded and lose their freedom.
