GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1427 Divide And Conquer.

?The collision created an explosion of thunder and light. The world was rocked, and mortals stumbled as they ran about to hide.

All of these appeared within the sight of the Celestial Supreme, and it pleased her. Demons can invade this plane easily since it doesn't have a divine plane, but that doesn't mean she, the Celestial Supreme, will stand and watch it happen.

The portal was bombarded by her intent, empowered by her Authority and world power. It shook and flickered. Its runes began to scatter, and the spatial tunnel it was opening began to collapse.

Destruction is easier than creation, and destruction is easiest with lightning, so it was not surprising that the portal began to collapse.

The collapse of the portal was further hastened as a terrible sound came from the other side of it.

"Rawr"

A roar of unwillingness came from the other side of the portal. It sounded as if a great entity had been harmed, but it sent chills down the spines of all those who heard it. They are not happy that they have harmed this great entity. Instead, they are filled with trepidation for making the entity angry.

This is an entity that they shouldn't have earned its attention in the first place. Now they have made it angry. Only bad things can come out of it.

"It is alright." The Celestial Supreme told herself. "It can't get in. I have stopped it."

She is afraid, but that isn't good. It is not good at all for the strongest being in the plane to be afraid. If she is afraid, then it means that they don't stand a chance against this creature.

So she tried to remove her fears by relying on the certainty that the demon behind the portal couldn't enter the plane. But she got angry that something made her feel fear. Then she turned that anger toward the betrayers.

She began yelling at them, "What were you thinking? That's a demon king. It must be a powerful demon king. What did you promise it to work for you? Are you sure it will only kill me? And how are you certain it will leave when it is done with me?"

She fired a series of questions at the seven other Celestials who have appeared in the sky. They are standing several kilometers away from each other and away from the portal, but they are all in the sky above their capital cities.

The Celestials heard her questions, but they didn't feel guilty at all that a demon was attacking their plane. They didn't feel happy either. Instead, they felt greatly bewildered.

They spoke amongst themselves and asked each other about it.

"What is she talking about?"

"Did one of you do this?"

"Who did it?"

"Stop looking at me. I didn't do it."

"It wasn't me."

They are truly innocent of the crime that she is accusing them of. But they knew she wouldn't believe them, so they didn't bother to deny it to her. Instead, they chose to capitalize on the circumstances.

One of them said in a conspiratory tone, "This is a great opportunity."

They didn't say anything else, but their tone and their behavior have said all they need to say without being explicit.

Another Celestial, the Celestial of War to be exact, asked with the same glint in his eyes, "Are you thinking what I am thinking?"

The Celestial of Knowledge responded with the same conspiratory tone. "If you're thinking that this is a great opportunity, then we are thinking the same thing."

The Celestial of War chuckled evilly. "I am thinking that it is a good idea."

The other Celestials who were confused at first, were enlightened. They all perked up and considered the proposition seriously. All of them, except one, remained confused.

"What are you talking about?" The bewildered Celestial asked.

The Celestial of Knowledge rolled his eyes and explained. "I mean that we should help the demon invade the plane."

"That's a crazy idea. If we do that, then it will look like we really betrayed the plane."

"Does it matter? She is not going to believe us anyway. It is best to make good of this situation to overthrow her."

"But that demon king seems powerful. If it can kill her, then it can kill us."

That doused the enthusiasm of the gods. Actually, it did more than that, it sobered them up. But even with the threat of death, the aura of the demon was still affecting and corrupting their thoughts. So they didn't back down.

Someone suggested a better idea. "We don't have to do anything to help the demon, but we can threaten the Celestial Supreme that we will help the demon if she doesn't swear to never steal our power."

"That's a good idea."

"Either way, we have to make a decision fast because the portal is closing quickly."

They turned their attention to the portal. It is indeed closing quickly.

"Fuck it, let's do it."

So they rushed forward to keep it open. They didn't know that they were already under the influence of the invader. The demon king hasn't entered the plane, but they have already lost. After all, they are already divided and are about to fight each other. They might just kill themselves without the demon king killing them.

The Celestial Supreme had been expecting the betrayal, so she noticed the dash of her fellow Celestials towards the portal. Her eyes widened in anger, and lightning flared out of her body.

"You dare?!"

She activated her title immediately and weakened all of them. Then she blasted them down from the sky with lightning strikes.

"Impudence,"" She roared in a crescendo higher than the previous roars.

"You dare betray me? I will kill all of you today." She shouted as she made to teach the Celestials a lesson they would never forget. At least half of them will die today, and the other half will be maimed in one way or another.
