GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Then he said seriously. "Prepare yourself. We are about to meet the invigilator in charge of your rite of passage. He will be in charge of your safety for the next hundreds of years."

"The Invigilator is the only Supreme beast stationed in the plane. At least on the surface. There might be more hidden. No. There should be more hidden."

"He built this whole platform by himself using one of the great divine abilities. You might say this whole platform, the ships, all the golems, and cannons are part of his body. Can you guess which divine ability it is?"

That drew Legion-5's attention. He looked around again before he gave his reply. "It has to be the Metal Fire divine ability from the Metal race."

The information about it flashed in his mind and he couldn't help but be impressed. The Metal fire is a special fire that can convert earth into metal. It sounds simple but it is very powerful.

Tanc830,428,723C chuckled and took him to the platform. "You were a little bold with your answer. But you're right. It is the Metal Fire divine ability. The Invigilator alone can take over the whole realm and turn it into his body. So trust me when I say we are not that helpless against the realm lord."

Legion-5 asked, "Will Mother High Heaven allow that to happen?"

"No, she won't. Her existence makes it a very bad idea to try to usurp the realm lord but she is bound to be injured if we decide to go against her," Tanc830,428,723C said proudly.

Legion-5 became officially impressed. Anything that can injure the Will of the Realm is enough to impress him.

"The Metal fire is too strong."

Tanc830,428,723C agreed. "It is a very powerful divine ability that a lot of people dread. A lot of those people tried to destroy it and the race it came from but they failed. The Supreme Alliance has also perfected the method to raise and rear them. If not for the fact that it is very difficult to actually extract the metal fire from the race it belongs to without dissipating and its inability to preserve it so it has to be used fresh then the supply of it would not be limited."

Legion-5 agreed, "It is truly a pity. But that's how the world is. The truly good things are hard to come by and even harder to acquire."

Tanc830,428,723C laughed hard. "Look at you spouting words of wisdom like some aged man who has seen through the vicissitudes of life."

Legion-5 chuckled along with his Mentor. He is amused because he has truly seen through the vicissitudes of life.

The two of them dropped to the edge of the platform. Tanc830,428,723C had already introduced and identified themselves and the invigilator had confirmed it so they were not prevented from approaching the platform or attacked when they landed.

A slender golem came forward to greet them. It is largely humanoid with two arms and legs. It doesn't have a skin so the components that make it up are visible. These components are gears, blocks, levers, and screws enchanted with runes.

Tanc830,428,723C said to him, "Follow it. It will bring you to your temporary quarters. You will be called for an assembly when the others get here and the rite of passage starts officially."lightsnovel

Legion-5 nodded. "Ok."

He was handed over to the golem while Tanc830,428,723C spoke with the invigilator.

"Greetings Mechanical Emperor." He said to the open air.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm He is not speaking to anyone in particular. His divine sense covered the whole metal landmass trying to communicate with it. But that's enough for communication.

The invigilator's voice boomed in his mind. "You rascal, Volcanic Fist. What are you doing here?"

The voice of the of the mechanical emperor sounded as if it was coming from all around him which is true since everything around him is the mechanical emperor.

Tanc830,428,723C replied, "I brought over my charge, Agrivo839,371,456A for his rite of passage."

"I can see that you scoundrel. I meant what are you doing here with a charge when you don't have a Supreme law? Why are you working for the Supreme Alliance when you don't need to."

"Some of us aren't as great as you. We have to start working hard now before we get our Supreme laws so that the Supreme Alliance will help us. We don't have the grand plan to take over a realm on our own to become world gods like you. We are not so tyrannical."

The Mechanical Emperor laughed. "Don't you patronize me you mischievous rascal. What do you mean by some of us? Only people like you who can ignore the suppression of the plane without a Supreme law can come and start working for the Supreme Alliance ahead of time. Normal people aren't like you so don't try to claim the identity of one. You are another type of tyrant is what you are. No one is slamming headfirst into every obstacle and trampling it like a bull."

Tanc830,428,723C denied the allegation. "Not true. Those allegations are false. If I was tyrannical then I would have wiped out the divine plane for their insult to me."

"Who are you fooling? You didn't wipe out the divine plane only because they were left there for the young ones. Don't pretend to be generous."

Tanc830,428,723C laughed hard. "Maybe I am a little like you. But I have my mentor to blame for that."

"I sure hope your charge won't be like you. Things are already complicated as it is. I don't want a troublemaker on my hands during this rite of passage."

"You have no need to worry. Agrivo839,371,456A is smart and composed. He may be stubborn sometimes but he isn't headstrong like me so he shouldn't give you any problems."

The Mechanical Emperor didn't believe him so he said sarcastically, "I'm sure he won't give me any problems."
