Greed: All For What?



Chaos itself doesn't have any weaknesses because it is always changing. Its strength comes from the fact that it tries to force other systems to change too.

Those systems that go along with the forced change eventually break because the corruption of entropy increases the amount of unusable energy within a system or possessed by an entity, and it also increases the randomness in the system.

Unless a system has infinite capacity, it will eventually fall apart as entropy occupies too much of it. Even the universe will fall apart in due time as entropy increases. It will take time, but it will happen. The same thing will happen to this seal. He just needs to be patient.

The seal flickered as soon as Chaos energy touched it. All the threads defended the seal against the attack at the same time. They appeared like lines of different colors on the barrier. They were pulsating and shifting to defend the attack.

This reaction caused all of the threads to be exposed to Chaos energy at the same time. So none of them could avoid the corruption of Chaos.

The threads of Supreme Power had two choices. Either they break or get rid of the corruption somehow. They chose not to break. Instead, they transferred the corruption to the divine plane.

This is another property of the seal that makes it nearly unbreakable. The seal has the support of the whole divine plane. Any force that hits the seal will be rendered crippled after being transferred to a place as large as the divine plane. The attacks will lose their pressure and sharpness, so they won't be able to break the seal.

It is a good idea to use the whole divine plane as the foundation for the seal. It truly stomped Aeternus. His corruption was carried away from the seal and spread all over the divine plane.

So the only thing he could do was keep producing Chaos energy to create more corruption. He wasn't impatient. He continued to do so for more than 11 hours.

The demon kings had caught up to him by then. Even demon lords and their armies had shown up. They were all silent as they arranged themselves around the gate of heaven.

No one said anything. There was only silence and the silent corruption of the seal. Aeternus, in his 10-kilometer form, stood over the equally large seal patiently. The demon kings that rival him in size chose to shrink their form to a few meters in height so as not to draw his attention or ire.

Soon all the demons had to rise to the air because standing on the divine plane meant being in contact with Chaos energy. The demons that were too slow were contaminated and devoured.

Aeternus didn't let the temptation that their existence represented override his common sense. Especially since he lost some of his contribution points when those demons died.

He just snorted and continued producing Chaos energy. His dedication was rewarded after 12 hours of work. The divine plane began to shake. The white ground of the divine plane had already turned pitch black. The seal, on the other hand, was fine, so Aeternus continued his work diligently.

He said to the seal, "You refused to submit when you had a lot to lose. Now we will see how far you're willing to gamble. Will you give up when you are about to lose everything, or will you give up when you have nothing left to lose?"

The reply to his question came very soon. The shaking of the divine plane increased rapidly in a short amount of time. It was soon reaching its limits. Cracks were appearing in the black ground.

Any other demon god would have given up after using so much energy, but he didn't feel the pinch. He continued to use the seal to corrupt the whole divine plane.

Soon, an earthquake began to move through the divine plane. It caused the cracks to spread all over the blackened ground. The cracks began to deepen and widen. They went from being surface fractures to becoming gaps in the depth of the divine plane.

Things only got worse. The roar of the expansion of the cracks filled the divine plane. Even so, the seal on the gate of heaven remained intact. It was just shaking slightly. It continued to dump its woes onto the shoulders of the supportive divine plane.

It was a truly toxic relationship. The seal took full advantage of the divine plane and gave nothing back. The cracks in the divine plane expanded until one could see the main plane through them. These cracks were more than 1 kilometer deep and 10 meters wide. The demons can use it to leave the divine plane, but they didn't move an inch.

Aeternus said to them, "Go on."

It was then that they sighed in relief and roared. Then they went down into the cracks to visit destruction on the plane.

Meanwhile, Aeternus was focused on the seal. He said to it, "Until your last breath, huh? I can respect that kind of stubbornness."

The seal is truly stubborn. It refused to budge, even when it had lost its function. The 100,000 threads continued to flicker in defense, as if they could resist forever.

Aeternus also didn't give up on the opportunity to bring down the whole divine plane, so he continued to corrupt it.

The seal eventually reached its limit. It was vibrating silently but at a high frequency. The next moment, it just exploded with a flash of light. Of course, the flash was buried by the ocean of black Chaos energy, so even its final radiance went unseen.

The whole divine plane also fractured and began to fall. It was a cracked dome falling to the earth below. It looked like the sky was falling to those below.

Aeternus followed the broken fragments as they fell down the plane. He looked at the Tyrant Realm beneath him, which was also fracturing due to the effort of demons, and was full of appreciation for Mother High Heaven's nurturing plan.
