The immortal power finally lost his shape. The speed of resurrection couldn't keep up with the effects of the damage to his existence anymore. His body folded upon itself in ways that are surely not comfortable. Even an unfeeling cardboard box should not be folded, wrinkled, creased, and compressed into a ball like that. It is simply inhumane.
He is in so much pain that he can't think straight. He is dying over and over again. He feels the pain of his death each time he dies. The only thing he is experiencing right now is that pain. If there is a fate worse than death, then this is it. But he can't end it. His immortality has become his curse.
"At least something is going well." Soverick nodded appreciatively.
The immortal power has been effectively neutralized despite the fact that he can't die. The problem is that he can't heal the damage done to him. He is not a titan of law with a body of law so he is always resurrected with the damage to his existence. His body keeps collapsing under the pressure of what Soverick did to him.
The best thing is that a Viper in the arena dies each time he dies and resurrects. It is the best of both worlds for Soverick. Now he could hold on for the Vipers to wipe themselves out trying to resurrect their fallen immortal power.
"I don't envy you anymore." He commented as he watched the collapse occur again and again.
He can't use the connections he has with the plane to be immortal since the connection is just being shared with him. He is not the heart or node of the connection. The will of the plane is and it shared its connection with Soverick. Soverick is not the host of the connection. He is a guest and guests can't use the connections to remain immortal. If he dies, he dies for good.
Meanwhile, the will of the plane will exist as long as one of its inhabitants is still alive and as long as the plane still exists. But Soverick will surely die if the plane is destroyed. The destruction of the plane will lead to the demise of the will of the plane and it will drag Soverick down with it. So he is a guest that might have to pay for the power lent to him with his life in case the host dies.
He used to envy the immortal power because of its control over its connection but what the immortal power is going through right now is not enviable at all. In fact, no one should be made to experience the collapse of their mind and consciousness over and over again. It is just cruel. It is also nice to watch.
Soverick smiled to himself. He let the sight of the carnage that he has wrought soothe him as he boosted his regeneration. His missing flesh returned swiftly with the boost to his regeneration. He knows he doesn't have a lot of time to heal and relax before he has to get back into the fight so he decided to enjoy this while he has the opportunity. It is the little pleasures that make life worth living after all.
Soverick's happiness was cut short when he noticed that more threads were being infused into the immortal power. The increase in the connection increased the Immortal power's resilience and slowed down his collapse. I think you should take a look at
Soverick turned toward the direction of the Immortal link and scowled. "Troublesome little shit. Disrupting my fun."
Each paragon has an average of 333,000 connections. The immortal link gave up all his connections to the others so they each had 375,000 threads. The death of two Paragons increased their allotted connection to 500,000 threads. That is a huge boost. But that still wasn't enough to save the immortal power.
So the Immortal link reallocated all their connections and added the bulk of it to the Immortal power. It safely removed some connections from the other paragons and grafted them temporarily to the immortal power. The Immortal power's collapse slowed down and eventually stopped when he got more than 2,000,000 threads infused into him.????????????????????????????????.????????????
"I can work with this." Soverick shrugged and accepted the situation.
He does not like the change. He finds the Immortal Link's meddling to be troublesome but he accepted the situation because it is to his advantage. Adding 2 million threads to a single paragon is to limit the rest to 1 million. The paragons have effectively been weakened just to prevent one of them from dying.
The Immortal link has removed his fun but he can still work with what he has. He will just have to turn his attention to the other paragons. They will be more fun now that they are weakened. They have no choice in the matter. He will squeeze out the fun from them.
The immortal power finally stopped dying. He is still collapsing since he can't heal what Soverick did to him but its body and form have stabilised. The rate of collapse has been reduced to a crawl. It is cause for celebrations but the immortal power has other ideas.
A cry tore out from his throat, "Ahhhhhhhhh!"
The cry spread far and wide. It was loud and it was bone-chilling. If they had blood, his cry would have cuddled it. The immortal power's deformed existence was finally straightened out. He is no longer crumped up like a piece of discarded paper but all he wants to do is cry in pain.
He appeared in his spot, whole and hearty, and he screamed in pain. He hasn't been able to scream and express the pain he felt all along through an emotional outburst so it all came out now that he has the chance. He screamed and screamed without end. He would have continued screaming for all of eternity if he was allowed to. His scream ended when Soverick put a blade through his neck.
