Chapter 638 An Eye For An Eye.

The person finally came into a clear enough view through his use of the law matrix.

"Boring." He drawled after recognizing who his enemy is.

He took one look and continued his fruitless journey. He wasn't concerned about his enemy before but he was at least looking forward to the encounter. It would have been interesting at least. But he doubts he can get that much from who his enemy is.

His enemy is Jarkon the stupid guy that rants about justice. He has the title of Unrelenting Justice. Soverick knows how the guy was able to find him. It seems he was wrong about the arena cores setting them up to fight. Jarkon would have found him anywhere as long as they are close enough to each other. The battle sage monkeys with his bloodline can find their targets for justice as long as they have been marked.

"I am not a mad warlord or something. I kill thousands of people once. Just once and you decide to make it your life's mission to piss me off just because your brother was also killed. You can kill my brother if you want to get back at me but no. You just had to target me. What a nuisance." He complained to himself as he walked without care.

He is a very reasonable person above all else. He can admit that what he did is bad for some people. In fact, he is willing to offer up compensation for his offense by allowing Jarkon to kill Ghaster. An eye for an eye should be more than enough for Jarkon. But no, Jarkon is being completely unreasonable like some stubborn uncivilized thug.

Jarkon has a different opinion of the situation. He seethed when he finally laid his eyes on Soverick. His fury blazed hot like a furnace within him. His face became rigid with a stone-cold expression. The golden fur that forms his mane straightened and made his face and head look more threatening. His yellow eyes focused on Soverick as his target. His heart of justice cried for justice and his body acted to deliver it. 

His blood sang within him. It said, "Today, the blood of the defiler will wet the ground. He shall receive his comeuppance and justice shall be served."

Those that have the bloodline of the lion of justice are very determined battle sage monkeys. They hunt their target with a dogged determination like no other. They are more like dogs rather than lions when it comes to pursuing their target. It is not a conscious thing. It is largely due to their bloodline. Justice is blind and unyielding. And those with this bloodline have the blood of justice flowing within them.

Bloodlines affect their possessors. A transcendent has a modicum of independence from a bloodline but you are never really free until you become a titan of law. Those that have the bloodline of the lion of justice don't have that modicum of control as transcendents. Their bloodline calls to them. It sings to them and they must listen. If they don't, then it will roar to them and they will be compelled.

It is why Jarkon is after Soverick. So thousands of people died. Surely he has something better to do than to come hunting after the child of the plane. This is the child of the plane that we are talking about, not some ordinary opponent. The death of a million people by Soverick's hands won't have been enough for him to jeopardize himself. 

So his brother died. A lot of people die all the time. Nothing he can do can bring his brother back. He knows that, and yet, here he is picking a fight with the child of the plane whom he fears a lot. He could at least bid his time and make smart plans for retribution but his bloodline said no and here he is.

You have to be smart in the void universe or you will die. Picking a fight with a clearly superior opponent just for the sake of justice is stupid. Heroism is stupid. Who has enough time and effort to solve the problems of others if it doesn't benefit them in any way? Are you so free with your time that you have nothing better to do than to chase after someone that can kill you? Jarkon knows that heroism is stupid, and yet, here he is. It is because his bloodline will not let him rest until he has delivered justice. 

He is seething at the sight of Soverick because of resentment for his ancestor. And he is furious because of his lack of control. Anger and self-righteousness make his bloodline stronger. He doesn't have self-righteousness and his anger may not be directed at Soverick but it is what he has so it will have to do. He needs it to serve him well in the upcoming fight that he has no choice but to partake in. And he had better partake in it wholeheartedly or he will receive a backlash for shoddy performance.

The backlash wouldn't be the only consequence he would suffer if the fight were to take place in the real world. He will die if he fights Soverick in the real world. It is not as if his full wholehearted participation and exceptional performance in the fight will change the outcome of the battle between them but his bloodline expects the best from him so he must give his best. 

His major reliance in any battle is the empowerment of his bloodline based on the amount of evil that the target has committed. Unfortunately for him, he won't be getting it. This is a fight where he doesn't have the right of way. Again, it is not as if having the empowerment of his bloodline will change the outcome of the fight but not having it has made sure he does not have any delusions about what the outcome will be. He understands that he will lose and he will badly.
