GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

1155 The Mindset For Greatness.

The spies that escaped implicated the other rebels in their bid to escape pursuit. That way more than the 10,000 that infiltrated his kingdom were captured. It provided him with a lot of experimental materials. It is what they should do. After all, he saved their lives from wicked Origin gods that made them into suicide bombers.

Then again, the Origins may not be completely wicked. After all, they granted the rebels a way to resist the kingdom of life. The mark they were given wasn't useless. It hid the rebels from his sight just as it was promised to do. He couldn't see them but he could see traces of their absence.

It was like seeing the footprints of an invisible man walking on sand. He was startled when he first saw the footprints but couldn't see what created them. That's how he knew that something was up.

His entire kingdom is his domain. It is like a body of water which he can sense every inch of. But bubbles suddenly appeared in the water. He can't see what is within the bubble but he can sense its presence and determine its size.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Maybe another god would have been deceived by the marks but not him. He has the domain of order which increases his perception and control of the world. The previous Celestial Supreme was able to use the domain of order to monitor the entire plane and the main plane wasn't even his domain.

The origin god of darkness and those with related concepts are the best at hiding. Even his domain of life can only simulate their ability to evade detection by manipulating life signatures to blend in with the environment. So they thought they could pull a fast one on him and smuggle in bombs throughout his kingdom.

It is a good plan but they underestimated him. He could have disabled the bombs earlier but he decided not to startle them. If they were startled then he might not be able to lure them into painful eternal servitude.

He has already gotten what he wanted from the spies. They were suicide bombers for the Origin gods and bait for him. So he sent his servants to capture them. It is what his guardians and demorgorgs were made for. To reduce the burden on him.

While none of the spies caught his attention, he noticed Tanya. But he couldn't be bothered to move against her personally. He could have acted to make fun of her and gloat about his power but he didn't because he had better things to do.

He saw her fight with his guardian just like he sees everything in his kingdom. Her performance made him say, "She is weak, mentally and physically. She may be at an advantage but she doesn't have what is needed for greatness."

He said that because he looked down on her. Unlike Tanya who is blinded by anger, Legion tries not to let their emotions blind them from their greater aim. Tanya couldn't let her anger go. She would rather perish than let her anger go.

Legion has been angered by several people but they have never prioritized revenge over tangible benefits. Aeternus didn't rush to kill Beelta for petty revenge. Instead, he used her for an experiment. He would have done the same to her had she not tried to kill him.

Helios was raised to be possessed by Stelios but Helios didn't kill him when he had the chance. Instead, he used his father for another experiment. They could have left the god of fate alone despite using them had he not taken something they wanted.lightsnovel

Soverick didn't let anger and revenge cloud his judgment. He put them aside and negotiated for benefits from the one who schemed for his death. Legion still has plans for Salvini, the first sage, and the demon god of GREED who made Aeternus run for his life. But they won't discard everything for revenge.

If something won't make them stronger then they won't bother with it. They might be biased against Tanya considering that she is against impossible odds to acquire power. But it is true that as she is, she can never acquire greatness.

The law of order has shackled Her and there is also him blocking the path of divinity. She is weak and her story will end as one of the numerous casualties in the fight of Origin gods to claim territory in the realm of high heaven.

The fight between the tree father and the invading Origin gods is just a mild situation compared to the rush for the grab of power throughout the realm. Almost every vulnerable plane experienced war and the intensity of conflicts increased the closer the era of conquest approached.

The tree father is in a favorable situation, unlike other gods. He can defend his kingdom and his source of faith while other gods have to watch as Origin gods rampage about in the plane.

Some gods that dared to resist were wiped out along with their entire pantheon. If not for the fact that the divine plane protects the plane from external invasion, then most of the divine planes would have been destroyed and gods would be on the brink of extinction in the whole Realm.

The tree father was attacked in almost every plane his avatars are but he doesn't have those problems because he doesn't need the divine plane to survive. He is also not weak at all but he still gave up on most of his planes.

Each avatar has more than one domain and access to the pool of divine energy that he harvested from several planes. And since he is on the main plane, he can go all out in the plane. On the other hand, origin gods have to be careful in the plane for fear of destroying the law matrix of the plane and exposing it to the void.

Their manipulation of the law matrix is their strength but it is holding them back in the realm. Even so, the tree father gave up on some planes because the fight wasn't worth the expenditure in divine energy.
