Greed: All For What?



LIES admitted. "You are a god, alright. But that is not exactly a good thing. Gods take the souls of believers, which means you will become our competitor."

The Tree Father didn't deny that. Demons eat both the flesh and the soul. In fact, they like the soul much better.

He said, "We can always hash out the specifics. I will help you increase the population of the inhabitants of the land of hope, and I will take a certain amount of their souls as payment for my services. We can make an oath on it, so you don't need to worry about me betraying you." "Besides, I am not interested in the land of hope. I am more interested in the Tyrant realm. We can work on spreading my religion in the realm, and I will give you a certain amount of their souls."

LIES couldn't help but be interested. It asked, "Tell me more."

The Tree Father told it his plan. LIES listened with rapt attention. It wasn't faking interest like it did earlier.

What the Tree Father planned was for him to work with the abyss the way he and Helios worked with Aeternus to subjugate the Zargoth plane. This will be on a much larger scale, but it will essentially be the same.

The demons will attack a place, and he will swoop in as the hero to save the people. He will drive away the demons and then use his prestige to spread his religion in the area.

It was a good plan. LIES liked it, especially the part where the Tree Father would use part of the souls that come to his divine kingdom after the death of his believers to pay the demons.

LIES was infatuated with what he said. "You make a good and highly feasible business proposal. It is not only lucrative, but the potential for lies is enormous. After all, your religion will be built on a foundation of lies."

The Tree Father smiled. His objective had been accomplished. He managed to sway a demon god with a few words. It was not by chance. He already expected it because his future self had also smiled in victory when it said those words.

LIES bellowed in laughter. "I like this plan very much, and I like you too. Let me meet with the council of investors and bring up the deal with them. I'm sure they will accept it."

The Tree Father agreed, "Alright. I will await your good news."

"You should. You are welcomed in the land of hope. You will be allowed some amount of freedom, even if your plan isn't accepted. But, please refrain from causing trouble in the land of hope by spreading your faith in the meantime."

The Tree Father promised, "You can rest assured that I will remain a peaceful guest."

"You may leave."

The Father Tree was allowed to leave the presence of LIES. He took one last glance at the entire land of hope before descending the mountain. His eyes roamed over it as if measuring

it.

The soil of the land of hope is black and hard. The land of hope is a large plain dotted with small mountains. The mountains have been hollowed out to create living spaces for the inhabitants of the land of hope. It made the mountains look like ant hills.

The mountains are the so-called habitat units in the land of hope. They are artificial and made of a gray material that repels sin energy, so staying within them helps the inhabitants avoid sin energy poisoning.

He thought to himself, "This will do nicely. It will look even better when I am done with it." The Tree Father already considers this place his base, even before the so-called investors have had and concluded their meeting. It is not out of blind confidence. It is a kind of confidence that can only come from the assurance of the future.

Legion didn't know much about the Tyrant Realm when they infiltrated it, apart from the information given to them by Mother High Heaven and the realm lord.

They didn't know when there would be a gap in the defenses of the divine plane, but they managed to appear at that exact moment when the seal of the gate of heaven was being upgraded.

They didn't know where the land of hope was, but the Tree Father found it on his first try. He didn't stumble upon it either. He ran straight for it as soon as he left the divine plane. It is because he knew where it would be.

It is not by chance that he decided not to use Chaos energy to kill his pursuers or kill them with any other means. He knew that would have elevated his threat level and made it unlikely that the Supreme Tyrants would give up on him.

It is more likely that the whole 100,000 Supreme Tyrants will prioritize him and storm the land of hope. That will surely be bad for his plans. But since he didn't cause much trouble for them, they were willing to let him stay in the abyss, where anything he does shouldn't affect the realm tree.

Everything that happened, from the moment he found the land of hope to the words he said to the sentries at the wall and up to his meeting with the demon god of lies, didn't happen by chance either.

He didn't act like he was completely safe amongst demons because he was ignorant of danger. He acted like that because it was the one sure way to make LIES suspicious and hesitant to

attack him.

He would have been able to handle LIES, but the fight would put his mission in jeopardy. He might be able to save the mission after the fight, but it will certainly be costly to do so. He might even fail the mission after word spreads that there's an entity that could defeat demon gods in the abyss.
