GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

"Might I ask, what reason is that?" Legion-7 asked.

The Realm lord smiled kindly, "You are a fascinating being. I am curious about you and your recent experiences. You disappeared for a while but now you're back in the realm as a strange entity. It is very curious."

"Is that so?" Legion-7 asked carefully.

"Yes, it is so. I come bearing a deal. I want your experience of the strange place you went to and in exchange, I will make the will of the plane back off. I will also make it so that the void universe cannot punish you in the realm of high heaven. You will be able to walk around without fear of lightning punishment but you still won't be able to use the law matrix. I can't help you with that."

Legion-7 thought about it. It sounded like a good deal so he asked, "Do you just want me to tell you what I experienced?"

"No. I want more than that. I want the full memory of your experience. It is only that way that I can fulfill my curiosity completely. You can take some time to think it over."

But Legion-7 didn't deliberate for long. He replied immediately, "I am afraid that I cannot give you my full memory."

He doesn't know what is important about his experience, but if the realm lord can come to him with a deal for it, then it must be very important. The last time the realm lord did such a thing was for Chaos energy.

Legion-7 doesn't know if his experience is as valuable as the knowledge of Chaos energy. But he is not willing to give up his experience for something like a little respite from the void universe. It feels shortsighted. Besides, he has some things he would rather keep hidden from the realm lord.

"Don't be quick to reject. I can understand from your state of existence what you need to become very powerful. Divinity is all well and good but there is something better that can make you evolve endlessly. I can give it to you."

"What is it?" he asked.

"Not so fast. I won't tell you unless you agree to the deal. Just the knowledge of it is already valuable. If you have the knowledge, then you won't have to muck your way around. So what do you say?"

"I am sorry but I will have to decline."

The realm lord smiled. It was still a kind smile. He asked as he smiled, "Are you sure? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

That smile looked to be a mask to Legion-7. He wasn't fooled by it. He knows that beneath that smile is a paragon that has achieved unbelievable things and a beast that has devoured countless enemies and opposition to reach where he is today.

To offend such an entity is to place yourself as a target of their wrath. Even so, Legion-7 said with determination, "Yes, I am sure."

"Good for you." The realm lord said then he disappeared.

The world also began to move. His meeting seemed like an illusion. He thought time had stopped but it hadn't. He knows through his connection with other clones that their conversation didn't take up to a second in real word time. It is just that his perception of the world stagnated when the realm lord appeared to him.

"I guess the enmity between us and the realm lord might occur before we become world gods. This is not good news. But we are not so helpless either."

He reviewed the encounter again for anything out of place or if there was another option that he missed. But he came to the conclusion that he had to refuse the deal.

He was only suspicious of the worth of his experience before. But the way the realm lord tempted him with something he didn't know about made him give up on any thoughts of making the deal.

It felt sketchy that he wasn't allowed to know what he was going to get unless he agreed to the deal. The thing he gets might be useless or it might be very useful. The cruz of the matter is that he doesn't know and he doesn't like to make decisions in ignorance.

In the case that he gets something truly useful from the realm lord in exchange for his experience, then his experience must be worth something. It is highly likely that it is worth more than what he will be given. It is another reason why he should reject the deal.

be worth something. It is highly likely that it is worth more than what he will be given. It is another reason why he should reject His rejection of the deal might have angered the realm lord or not, but it has made Legion realize that they have something that the realm lord wants. That means, if the realm lord wasn't hindered by rules, he wouldn't have bothered to ask them for a deal since he is stronger than them.

"How ironic. We thought we were the one coming after the realm lord but it seems he would be coming after us too."

Soverick suggested. "If the realm lord is curious about the spiritual dimension, the major things he might be interested in are the nether water, the mechanism of resurrection of fallen Origin gods, the law of the soul, and other soul techniques."

They considered it and figured that it might be true. Legion-7 said, "It could also be how I was able to escape the great mother or how I was able to teleport across the vast universe using the spiritual dimension."

Legion-1 stated. "If they are valuable then we must not let them go to waste. We must make use of the information to strengthen ourselves."

Legion-7 was quick to add, "I think we can take advantage of the resurrection mechanism of the fallen Origin gods to create our own system of immortality that is independent of the void universe."

Legion-7 explained his reasoning further, "We have divine life energy. I am sure that I can do something with it and the soul techniques I have acquired to achieve something like that."
