Although the Civilization Devourer exhibited many inhuman traits, Richard could perceive that beneath those traits lay a greed akin to the abyss.
The Civilization Devourer is an insatiable creature.
It was born to devour war and civilization.
Though it often showed incredible calm and restraint, it would never relinquish the smallest bit of interest when the chance for greed arose.
Just like a moment ago.
Richard's soul had already been polluted by its blasphemous whispers, and his body was being controlled by its thorns.
In such a situation, the Hammer of Creation, such a valuable item, was something it couldn't possibly let slip by.
Of course, even if it did let it go, the Hammer of Creation would strike the Civilization Devourer as per Richard's pre-established commands.
Richard knew that even if he could kill one of its three avatars.
The remaining avatars would still hold him back.
He was not a leader; he had only reached the level of a leader in defense.
