Greed: All For What?



War leads to the creation of the dead, so the Amotekun grew stronger with each battle. Their troops were mostly weak, but they were tireless and didn't feel pain, which made them the best soldiers. The undead could also be raised again if they were not completely destroyed. This made their army larger instead of smaller.

The Shikis, on the other hand, had stronger soldiers on average since each of their hosts was a titan of law. Besides, the Shikis couldn't be killed because they were one with the land and the people. The ground and the people within it would need to be completely destroyed to kill them.

So the two races were at a stalemate. This stalemate continued until one Amotekun followed in the footsteps of their ancestor by falling in love with a Shiki and giving birth to a beautiful black-complexioned baby. The baby was plump and beautiful, like the Shikis, but black, like the Amotekun race.

That baby became the ancestor of the Tyrant Race and led to the end of the war between the Shikis and Amotekuns.

The Tyrant Race were born as physical beings like their Amotekun ancestor. But they could give up their bodies by planting themselves in the soil. This way, they could infect the ground like their Shiki parents.

They could then parasitize the ground and living things within it. If they need a body, they could convert anyone of their host into a physical body to use. So the billions of Tyrants in the divine plane currently waiting for the invaders are just their clones.

The entire realm has long been conquered by them, which has reduced the effective number of defenders of the realm. But even though there are not many enough, the weakest of them has the power of Origin gods thanks to the boost from being paragons.

They can only make one clone at a time, but just like their Shiki parents, they can't be killed until all their hosts die. So they may appear to be billions, but there are actually trillions more bodies waiting for them in the realm to use.

It is going to be difficult to kill all of them with their ability to switch hosts. Besides, they also have scores of the dead buried in their domains to protect their hosts. These dead are also at the titans of law realm.

As the perfect hybrid paragon descendants of their parents, they enslave and gain power from both the living and the dead. They also become stronger with the expansion of their domains. This made them wage a war on both of their ancestral races.

The Shikis and the Amotekuns were wiped out by the Tyrants. Not only did the war between the Shikis and Amotekuns end, but the two races went extinct.

They are not the only ones to succumb to the rapid expansion of the Tyrants. The Tyrants turned their gaze to the divine realm in hopes that they could expand their domains there and in their quest to wipe out the gods who could stop them.

Even though the Tyrants found out that they couldn't infect the divine plane or the gods, they still decided to wipe them out because divine energy was the bane of both the Amotekuns and Shikis. Divine energy could remove their parasitism from living things and the earth and also easily destroy their undead.

So the Tyrants waged war on the gods and wiped them out. Every single enemy of the Tyrant that could threaten them is gone now. All except one.

The Tyrant only faced defeat when they tried to take over the abyss. They couldn't spread their roots there. They also couldn't infect the demons. That didn't make them give up though. It was the pervasive sin energy that made their every invasion a failure. So people who didn't want to be enslaved by the Tyrants anymore could escape to the land of hope.

Still, the Tyrants didn't give. They attacked the abyss occasionally to kill demons and destroy some clones of demon gods. This is because Tyrants are fundamentally weak to demon gods, just as they are weak to divine gods. So they cannot give up on the demons.

Unfortunately, the demon's habitat was a location that granted them an advantage over Tyrants. It is why the demons have managed to survive all along.

The Tyrant Race is a very strong race. They have eternal life, so becoming kings of law is all but certain for them. Becoming titans of law and sovereigns, on the other hand, is not certain. So they need alternative sources of power, such as land.

Unfortunately, the Tyrant realm is limited in size. They have reached the limit of their race. Newborn Tyrants can't get land to set up their domains, and competition for land is serious amongst them. One can imagine just how tempting the prospect of new lands is to them. That is the prospect that this invasion has brought them.

They don't usually see eye-to-eye, but they all came out today to fight. They were even more impatient than WRATH about the delay in the fusing of the two realms. So they were very happy when they noticed that something had destroyed the barrier for early access.

WRATH didn't meet scared defenders when he came through. The Tyrants were as prepared as they could be. Unfortunately, they were not prepared for a demon god. In fact, they were not expecting any demons, much less a demon god.

A shout went up as soon as the ocean cloud of boiling red energy broke through the realm rift.

"DEMON GOD!!!!"

It was a shout of panic and fear.

WRATH shouted at them, "Don't be afriad. Be angry."

But they didn't listen. The invasive power of its voice only made them more afraid. They screamed in fear, and ran around like headless chicken. Soon the shout of fear and panic was picked up by the other Tyrants all over the divine plane.

A/N: The moral of the story is that one should kill troublesome children when they are weak. That's what I was going with this. Learn this life lesson and don't be like the Amotekun.
