GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Legion hates making losses, but they hate wastage the most. They hate it so much that even if they don't need something, they have to exchange it for something useful to them. This plane has been ravaged, but that doesn't mean they will let it go.

They don't need this plane for the era of conquest since they already have one in which they have invested heavily. Besides, they finally have the power of a half-world god at their disposal, so they certainly don't need this plane.

The smart thing is to turn it into something useful for them. So Aeternus and the other clones thought about what they could do to take advantage of the Gattling plane.

The first idea that came to them was selling it. A demon god won't be interested in a plane that has been looted of all life, including the will of the plane, but they can deceive the demon god by hiding the fact that they have already attacked this plane.

They will make enemies of the demon god that falls prey to this trick, but they won't mind. They can even use that to make plans to capture the demon god. After all, it is difficult to tell which entity is their enemy, but they can be sure that the deceived demon god will try to retaliate, and they can be certain that the demon god will come to this plane. This is more than enough information for them to plan a heist.

"This could work," Legion-1 said after considering it. "We have almost all the information we need to make a trap."

Aeternus agreed, "We captured CARNAGE with less certainty, and I do need something worthwhile to eat."

All they need is for the demon god to come here. They don't have a world spark as bait, but this barren plane will do. There also won't be any risk of endangering all of Legion now that they have a demonic spark.

Soverick recommended another plan. "We could also sell it to Origin gods, who need a landing site to participate in the era of conquest. That can work because there are many Origin gods looking for a plane."

It is a good plan. Information about how the era of conquest usually progresses has spread amongst the community of the Origin gods, so it is now common knowledge that the more planes an Origin god is in control of, the higher their influence will be in the era of conquest. So the information about a plane that they can take over without any resistance is very valuable to Origin gods right now.

The Origin gods will have to create their own workforce and soldiers since this plane is lacking, but its value is still high. It won't be as high as the value of the energy that Aeternus will get from consuming a demon god, but it will be completely safe and without risk.

They began to debate which plan they should execute. The second plan is undoubtedly safe, but the first plan means they will get more energy, and power, and still get to keep the plane.

The first problem with the first plan is that they don't know if Aeternus can defeat a demon god with certainty. This is a complicated outcome that will be determined by the amount of energy a demon god is carrying. When coupled with the fact that Soverick can't predict anything about Aeternus anymore and he can't predict the actions of those with Supreme Laws, they will be walking into the trap almost blind.

The second and probably the most important reason why they shouldn't go with the first plan is that even if they win the fight, the demon god that they target won't die from losing one clone, so they might have to let go of the plane and be troubled by the angry demon god in the future.

Of course, they thought of taking the best of both plans. It would be best if they could sell the information to both a demon god and some Origin gods. They would first use the plane as bait for a demon god, then sell it to an Origin god regardless of the outcome of the trap.

Unfortunately, they can't do that. They have to swear an oath to prove the validity of the information and its secrecy. They also won't get paid until the information has been verified by the other party.

No one wants to be sold useless information. So even if the person who is selling the information is certain of its validity and secrecy, that doesn't mean that the information is valid and secret.

Something might have changed that the seller is unaware of. It is wise on the part of the buyer to verify the information before handing over the money. If the buyer comes around and sees an angry demon god in the plane, they will lose the sale.

These problems stand in the way of their greed. They have to choose one option, not both. So they chose the second plan. It is safe, and they are certain that they will get benefits from it.

Fighting a demon god can lead to unforeseen problems. They would rather sell the plane and be done with it. Then they will plan another heist for demon gods independently.

Aeternus stood guard in the plane to ensure that no one would steal their property while Legion-1 went to find buyers. He spent that time figuring out his new abilities. It is necessary since he is the first of his kind that they have ever heard of, and they are quite confident that there is no one else like him in the void universe.

He is not a demon god, so he doesn't have a supreme law and cannot create clones like other demon gods. His power comes from borrowing the power of Chaos through Chaos energy. It is borrowed power, but it is highly lethal. It is so lethal that demon gods can be consumed by it.
