GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1492 Divinity.

The Tree Father said to them, "It is done. The next step is to upgrade the divine spark into a world forge."

The others looked on with calmness, but they were all excited and happy. They have taken another step towards perfection. It is something to be happy about.

Legion-unity said with anticipation, "It is time for you to join unity."

This is why he has been looking forward to the Tree Father becoming a divine spark. He wants to gain something powerful to improve himself and Legion.

The Tree Father will be the next one to join Unity after Aeternus. Aeternus granted them immunity to Chaos energy, so all of them won't be hurt by Chaos energy anymore.

They can finally allow Chaos energy to pass through the mind network. They don't do so to keep Legion-8 and Helios safe. Now the tree father can also join unity since he has gained immunity and perfect control of his godfire.

The last time he attempted it, Legion-9's godfire burned him. But now that his godfire has become Legion-9's body and he has perfect control over it, Legion-7 will be able to assimilate him without issue.

The assimilation occurred without any problems. Legion-unity gained the powers of a divine spark. This power is based on Authority, divinity, and the spark of power.

Unlike Aeternus, who didn't fuse with any domain or his Supreme Law, the Tree Father is one with his divine spark, so he has perfect control over all the abilities it has to offer.

These abilities made the clones chat in speculation.

Legion-1 said in surprise, "Who would have thought that gods could become so powerful?"

Soverick shook his head and said, "Even if we thought gods could become powerful, no one would have expected them to have the ability to edit the law matrix. It is simply unheard of."

Aeternus was in awe. "Even the ability to freely produce divinity is overpowered. Imagine the amount of demons he could feed with this."

Legion-9 shifted the topic by saying, "Stop talking about food. Let's focus more on the importance of the spark of power and its significance for our goal as world gods."

Even Ragnarok, who liked eating, had to agree with the Tree Father. "Divinity is a little too late for us now. It would have been useful if we didn't have Cosmic energy. And Legion-9 gave up most of the abilities of Authority when he refused to become an Archon. It is the spark of power that is worthy of our focus."

Aeternus disagreed, "You are all wrong. Divinity cannot be separated from the spark of power. It is a universal source of power. Those on the path of perfection, the path of divinity, and the path of sin need it. Even Legion-7 used it to create his spark of consciousness. I think there's more going on in divinity apart from its ability to serve as food."

He had a point, so he got Legion thinking about divinity. Divinity is a product of the refinement of faith. It is refined by the godfire of a god. Faith can be turned into divine energy by mixing it with mana, but it has to remain pure if it is to become divinity.

This is their fundamental understanding of faith. But the discussion of faith soon diverged into more complicated inquiries the more they thought about it.

Faith comes from believers who are living things, while godfire comes from the godhood of gods who are also living things. But why can't gods create their own faith, and why can't their believers use their own faith to empower themselves?

The answers to those questions are not clear to them. But they can make some guesses about them.

Their first guess is that the problem of gods growing stronger on their own faith might be a problem of quantity. They can't produce enough faith on their own.

But this guess was quickly refuted when Legion made the common claim that the stronger a believer is, the stronger the faith the god gets from them. So why doesn't a god create enough faith on their own even when they get stronger, and why is it that other gods can't turn each other into their believers as a source of faith? Why must gods rely on others who are not gods or demons for faith?

These questions set Legion ablaze in a flurry of mental discussion. They had conflicting opinions but eventually settled on a hypothesis that also explains why believers can't use their faith to empower themselves. This hypothesis is based on the possession of the Origin core and its usage for power.

It is said that the Origin core is a source of infinite potential for a living being. Its potential is something that Origin gods start to dig into. They then fully excavate it when they become world gods by turning their Origin into a world.

But gods don't have viable Origins. Their Origins froze when they traded it in exchange for the godfire. They then rely on those who still have their Origin to elevate them and make them stronger.

Hence, it is postulated that the possession of Origin is important in the creation of faith. If that is true, once it is frozen over, faith can't be produced anymore. Gods won't be able to produce it at all and they won't be able to use each other as believers.

If, by chance, the Origin is revitalized, then it is possible for a god to use their own faith to produce divinity. That's essentially what a divine spark makes possible when the god fire is evolved and the power of the origin is unlocked.

A divine spark is an entity that can produce divinity on its own. They don't require the belief of others for faith. They can't believe in themselves and, hence, grow stronger from it. But they substitute other forms of energy as faith to use to produce divinity.
