Not much was known about Soverick Ghastorix. He wasn't making waves in the plane. He doesn't have feats known throughout the plane. He was just a boy that got chosen to become child of the plane from among a million other youngsters. Many people don't even know about the divine dungeon where he was chosen to be the child of the plane. He was an unknown so they did some digging about him. What they found out didn't instill in them much confidence.
Soverick came from a mid-level family of the plane. He was unknown even in his family. Only the Titans of law and leaders of his family were aware of his talent. The rest of his family didn't know him, much less the people of the Virut plane. Then he became the child of the plane just 2 years into his life. He was just some unknown person before he became the child of the plane and that didn't change after he became the child of the plane.
The powerhouses of the plane know more about him. They know he has a lot of divine talents and that he is highly talented in fighting. But the common people of the plane don't know him. Soverick didn't help that situation by secluding himself and busying himself with forging.
Soverick refused to interact with people and he refused to accept challenges. A lot of people thought that his refusal was because he was scared. They thought he was trying to protect his image. It was until the Calamity of the Child of the plane that they knew not to mess with him. Now they can see that he is in fact more than they expected. The fact that the child of the plane is a sage-level battle sage monkey is like having the best of both worlds in terms of confirmation of his talents.
The fight is fun and all, but Origin gods aren't moved by it. It is the matter of the significance of his performance that impressed the Origin gods of the family. Origin gods from different endorsed families of the plane are also watching the competition together.
They are watching from a specially constructed arena for them. This arena is a viewing stadium built as a world fragment. It allows origin gods to watch anything and anyone in the competition arenas so it shows more coverage than the view of the sky in the plane.
The tussling of the golden Cyclops and the purple phantom is surely entertaining but it is the assurance that the fight signifies that the origin gods of the Virut plane care about. They need this assurance because they know more about the competition than what the populace knows. This competition is of more significance to the origin gods of the Virut plane than it is for the competitors involved in the competition.
This secret significance is why the origin gods of the Virut plane are happy at the sight of Soverick fighting a monster 2 ranks above him in strength while the origin gods from the other plane are not so happy. It proves Soverick's talent and it also means that if he defeats this monster, he will earn a weapon when no one on the side of the Virut plane and the other plane has acquired a weapon yet.
The origin gods from the two sides have an opposite reaction to Soverick's fight but the two administrators from the two sides have the same reaction.
One of the administrators spoke. "This is too early."
It is the serpentine world god with numerous arms, a single serpentine trunk that ends in a tail, and an obsidian crown on its head that spoke. He is referring to Soverick's fight.
The other administrator agreed even though they are on opposite sides. "Yes, this is early. I expected him to perform excellently but this is beyond my expectations. I guess I am growing blind with age. My sensitivity to power is becoming biased because of the things I have seen. I mean, what's the difference between a strong ant and a weak ant? It is difficult to qualify really since they are both ants. It is the dilemma of an advanced existence. It just..."
The frown of the serpentine world god didn't ease up even though his companion, the white battle sage monkey agreed with him. In fact, his frown continue to deepen as the first sage spoke. His lips curled due to annoyance and a view of his sharp tiny teeth was revealed. He had to interrupt his talkative partner lest he decides to use his teeth for violent persuasion.
"Yes, yes. But enough of that. You're just happy that he is doing well."
The first sage nodded. "I have to admit that his performance is pleasing to my eyes."
"He might be great but you only have one of him. I have 9."
The eyes of the sage shone as he replied, "We only need one."
His companion didn't agree. He scoffed. "You only need one?"
"Only one is needed. The fact that he achieved it all on his own makes him head and shoulder above yours." The first sage maintained.
"We'll see about that. As for now, we need to do something. He has moved the timeline of monster spawning forward." The serpentine world god directed the topic of their conversation back to what's really important.
There's a demarcation of monsters. Rank 1 to 3 are normal monsters with increasing levels of power. Strength, speed, defense, and attack power increase exponentially across the ranks. They are basic monsters present in the forest. Anyone can encounter any rank of these monsters regardless of strength. It all depends on luck.
From rank 4 to 6 are monsters that have a certain body part that can fatally wound combatants with one strike. These ranks of monsters were specifically designed to end a fighter and have something special be it fangs, beaks, claws, spurs, spikes, or horns that will enable them to critically injure with just one strike. The monster that Soverick is currently fighting doesn't belong to this group.
