GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

1153 The Aftermath.

They discussed as they worked. They don't need the demorgorg system but that doesn't mean they are going to let it go to waste. They can avoid a lot of deaths of giants of order if they abolish the demorgorg system completely but they are not going to do that because they want to maximize the use of the Origin Stigmata system.

Demorgorgs that can withstand demon nobles comfortably, which are the four-star demorgorgs, will have a larger capacity for power and can draw more of it from the sealed Origin gods.

A lot of demorgorgs will die for a single four-star demorgorg to be created but it is a sacrifice the giants of order have to make. If Legion can utilize precious cosmic energy to maximize the efficiency of the Origin Stigmata system then they can surely sacrifice giants of order to make sure that the cosmic energy doesn't go to waste.

The kingdom of life resumed its peaceful atmosphere with none the wiser about their brush with death. The world resumed like nothing had ever happened. All they know is that some terrifying beings appeared all of a sudden and disappeared just as they came.

No one knew that the god-king spent a massive amount of divine energy to isolate them and protect them. The tree father did it to prevent the Origin gods from escaping but they don't know that and they don't need to.

The tree father didn't correct them when they praised him for protecting them and driving away the invaders. He did do that but not because of them. No one will ever know about the truth of the fight because the participants of the fight have chosen to remain silent about it.

But some are not at peace. They saw when the Origin gods entered the kingdom. A particular giant of order even noticed one of the Origin gods and found them to be incredibly familiar. This giant of order doesn't know that the intruders are Origin gods. But she knows that they are powerful and that they are enemies of the kingdom.

"How can they just come and go like that? Something must have happened." Tanya asked herself in bewilderment.

She is certain that the entities that came are enemies because she recognized one of them as the giant of order that gave her the artifact beneath the ruins of the ancient giant cities. She was impressed by the pressure of their existence and expected a fight. It was supposed to be a fight they would win too. But she was disappointed.

The enemies of the kingdom came in large numbers but nothing can be seen of them after their entry. They are not around and it is as if they were never here.

She was frozen for a long time and she saw nothing during the period of stasis. These are all signs that the enemies had been defeated or that they had come to an agreement with the god-

king.

lightsΝοvel Tanya looked around uneasily. She doesn't know what happened either. But she felt a slight tingling on her palm where she had marked herself with the artifact. She looked at it now and her eyes widened.

"It is gone!" She exclaimed.lightsnovel

She growled, "I knew I shouldn't have believed those fools."

Her heart is filled with immense regret. She had been wary and cautious before she met her sponsors. She lost that cautiousness when the success of infiltrating the kingdom filled her with confidence.

Now she knows that if they were so strong and could take down the god-king, they shouldn't have had any need for her. They told her to infiltrate the Kingdom of Life to get supplies and more followers so that they could attack the kingdom together. It is obvious now that it was a bad decision for her to go along with their schemes.

Her sponsors have either been defeated or they have betrayed her. Either way, the mark is no longer on her palm. That means she is exposed to the god-king.

"Fuck." She cursed.

Then she began to run towards the border. She is exposed without the mark to hide her so she is trying to escape. She didn't use her full form to run despite her desperation to be away from here as soon as possible. It is faster but she will stand out.

She also didn't inform the other rebels. If they haven't noticed the disappearance of the mark by now then they should die. She is not going to do them the favor of informing them. Not when she doesn't want them to escape together with her. That kind of movement is bound to draw attention and suspicion.

She weaved through the buildings of the city she is currently in at her fastest speed until she left the city entirely. Then she chose a direction closest to the border to run towards. It is a straight line towards freedom so she will be able to make it in the shortest amount of time without using her Colossal form.

She didn't get far at all. She saw a green being looking at all from outside the city. The being is vaguely humanoid but it is made of plant parts and not flesh and blood like the giants. It is levitating in the air and watching her silently. It is as if it has been waiting for her right here.

"A guardian." She exclaimed in despair.

She had been expecting and dreading this outcome but she still felt shock and fear when it happened. There is just one guardian and she is in an open environment but she has been cornered nonetheless.

"Surrender, " The Guardian said.

It didn't speak with a mouth. Its divine sense made the words and it also expressed the confidence of the guardian.

She fell into despair immediately. If a guardian is here then it means that the god-king knows exactly where she is. It means she can not escape. The guardian is just a meter tall while she is 40 meters in her stunted form. She is much bigger than the guardian. Unfortunately, her size won't give her an advantage here.
