GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The availability of divine life energy has led to both qualitative and quantitative increases in strength for Legion-7.

He couldn't help but sigh in appreciation, "Legion-9 is literally my saving grace. Now I have the hope of escaping this hell hole."

Helios chuckled and asked him, "I thought you said your situation wasn't so bad."

"You should mind your rebellion. You could lose your life. As for me, I won't need to evolve to become strong enough to leave at this rate."

The tree father poured cold water on his dreams, "You will have to wait longer before you get enough divine life energy to escape. I need to set up my church first. A cult is not big enough a source of faith. Until then, you have to manage the little I can spare."

Legion-7 didn't like the sound of that. He even grumbled about it. "This is all that Celestial Supreme's fault. Zernon is too controlling. He will die if he refuses to be accommodating."

Divine life energy is very important to Legion so they have to set up the Tree Father's church. They chose the Zargoth plane because Helios is there and he needs help. So Legion-1 entered the realm tree and approached the plane through the void.

He didn't enter the plane since it would draw attention from the dictator of a Celestial Supreme. He stayed outside of the plane and dropped a seed into it. The seed didn't alarm anyone. It drifted into the plane and took root silently.

Unfortunately, the days of being hidden can't last forever. If the tree father is to create a religion to receive faith, then he would eventually clash with the Celestial Supreme who likes to kill Celestials so that they wouldn't threaten his rule.

Rather than wait for that eventuality, they began to plan for his demise before anyone had any idea of a new Celestial in the plane. Helios has his part to play and so does Aeternus.

The Zargoth plane is much too important for their plans for them to let Zernon live. His death could have been avoided if he had been open to Celestials. But he isn't and Legion is not going to try to negotiate with it. They would rather get rid of him and have the whole plane to themselves.

Apart from the Zargoth plane, Legion-1 also seeded other planes. It is as they say, one shouldn't put their whole eggs in one basket. If the Zargoth plane doesn't work out then they will have other sources of divine life energy. Legion-7 especially pushed for that move. He is too desperate for divine life energy to gamble on the success of the rebellion in the Zargoth plane.

The prospect of more divine life energy uplifted Legion-7's mood. He isn't frustrated anymore and is instead looking forward to the spread of the church of life. Divine life energy has opened up the way for him to achieve salvation. Unfortunately for him, he is not the only one that feels an attraction to Legion-9.

As Legion-7 was receiving the trickle of divine life energy, his soul began to produce a special soul light. An inexplicable power spread out of him into the spiritual dimension telling every soul prowler that it encountered that they can evolve if they eat him. They began to feel the same feeling of attraction he has for Legion-9.

The entire spiritual dimension is trying to kill souls and soul prowlers. They are surrounded by the darkness of the prospect of death and the complete absence of light with no way out. They can barely see what's in front of them in this darkness. But suddenly, a light appeared in the darkness. It shown like the sun in the day.

The soul prowlers could see the light of this sun from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away in the first second. That distance was increasing rapidly every second because it was moving at the speed of light. The light of his soul was spreading to every corner of the spiritual dimension so that all could see it.

This light is the light of salvation. It is the hope of freedom. It is the light at the end of the tunnel. Every soul prowler that saw it rushed towards it. Every sleeping soul fragment that the light shined on awakened immediately. Every inhabit of the spiritual dimension converged towards the light.

What's interesting is that the star doesn't know that he is producing this light. It is just like the tree father wouldn't know that Legion-7 was attracted to him if he didn't have access to Legion-7's memories. In that way, Legion-7 didn't know that many entities were attracted to Legion-9 through him.

So Legion-7 remained oblivious to this phenomenon. And because he stopped hunting when he got access to Origin energy and moved closer to the black hole to get peace to research his techniques, he didn't realize the effect of this phenomenon.

Staying on the outskirts of the black hole meant that he would encounter soul prowlers. He grew tired of them after many years of wanton hunting. His priorities changed to soul devouring so he moved closer to the black hole to study its effects. That's what he was doing when divine life energy came and that's where he is staying now. So he didn't see that soul prowlers were converging on his position.

The soul prowlers are weaker than him so they were sucked into the black hole as soon as they tried to get to him. He noticed the increase in the frequency of soul prowlers but he thought nothing of it. He attributed the change to the increase in the gravitational pull of the black hole.

He remained oblivious to the world and focused on using divine life energy to strengthen his soul while using Origin energy to strengthen and grow the soul grafts. Everything was going well until he sensed a familiar entity. It was a pure aura with a hint of fire and the accompanying sensation of heat.
