Greed: All For What?



The information that the first sage released was more accurate than the ones the Supreme Alliance released in the simulation. All of Legion's strengths and weaknesses were detailed in the release, so it was not a secret that they reincarnated into nine clones instead of eight, and they could use up to three Supreme Powers at the same time.

Information about their races, ages, looks, and planes was included. The secrets they tried to hide in the simulation but reluctantly revealed after they were forced were all revealed now, even before Legion could pretend.

Now everyone knows that they can wield cosmic force and have cosmic energy to use. They also know about their plans for the era of conquest, including Legion-8's ability to infect and corrupt the realm tree, Helios's plan to eat the sun, Legion-9's plan to steal the abyss, and Aeternus's plan to eat demon gods.

All of these, including their ability to have nine concepts, build world fragments without Supreme Laws, become world gods without Supreme Laws, and possess universal artifacts and shards of power, worked to draw more people looking for Legion.

The First Sage spread the information to Origin gods outside of the two realms. He didn't restrict himself to a single realm this time around. Even world gods were attracted.

To top it off, the First Sage provided detailed information about what Aeternus was capable of. This way, Legion's enemies will be prepared and will be able to capture the clones easier. The only thing that the first sage said that wasn't the truth was that Aeternus could control his Supreme Law. This, combined with the fact that his Supreme Law is True Chaos made world god not act against him personally. Instead, they chose to send tides of Origin gods who have the protection of the void universe to capture Legion.

It was quite a sight. A significant portion of the void universe was riled up by the information. They rushed towards the location of the realm war in a hurry. They were not coming for the realm war. Their goal is greater than that.

In the simulation, people chased after Legion mainly because of their ability to have more than one concept. But this time, they had other major reasons to fight and defeat Legion. They wanted to get the spark of power, the spark of consciousness, and maybe some Universal artifacts.

They don't know that Universal artifacts can't be stolen easily, so they came believing they could take them. Then again, they didn't know what Universal artifacts were a few moments ago. And they certainly won't believe Legion if they say that they can't give up their Universal artifacts.

Even if they were not interested in the Universal artifacts, or the ability to wield three Supreme Powers, there is the fact that the first sage said that a million Origin gods are unlikely to defeat Legion. It was a challenge that many decided to determine its veracity and try to overcome.

The information the First Sage released struck a balance between curiosity and caution. It made sure that world gods would want to get their hands on Legion, but they wouldn't try to do so themselves. They would rather do so through proxies.

The world gods were curious but far more cautious. The opposite is true for most Origin gods. Origin gods are ignorant of too much, and they trust in their immortality too much for them to be scared of Legion.

Many cautious Origin god couldn't help but get greedy at the prospect of having many concepts, Supreme laws, and many worlds as world gods. Their fearlessness makes them the best proxies to use.

Only world gods seem to realize that an entity that broke a law of the void universe twice, controls and is immune to Chaos energy, fused the three paths of perfection, divinity, and demons, and built a world fragment as Origin gods cannot be easy to deal with. But they didn't tell the Origin gods that. No, they employed them to probe and nab Legion for them. The news about Legion made the high heaven realm boil over with anticipation for the sighting of Legion. This anticipation even spread to other realms and caused many Origin gods to become interested in the realm war between the Tyrant Realm and the High Heaven Realm.

Meanwhile, the First Sage stood back and watched. He was like a predator, waiting and watching for his prey.

"Now let me see what they will do. Maybe I will see something else that they are hiding from me."

The first sage has stirred the world against Legion. He did this to push them to their limits and hinder them. He is not sure that Legion displayed everything they were capable of during the simulation.

As a smart person, he knows that it is wise to have a trump card in reserve, so he expects that Legion is keeping something in reserve. He wanted to uncover that trump card in the simulation with a world god, but Legion woke up before they were pushed to use all they had to escape from the world god.

So the first sage decided to pressure them in the real world. He knows that it is unlikely for them to die. But he doesn't mind that. He is content with the slight chance that they will use the world ender within them to threaten their enemies.

If Legion does that, then the first sage won't be the only one to be afraid of the future. He will gain a lot of comrades in arms that he can sacrifice to find a way out of his current predicament.

But ultimately, the First Sage is prepared for failure because the enemies he created were not to kill Legion. After all, that wouldn't solve his problem of his Supreme Law currently entangled with a world ender.

The only way to solve that is to have Legion willingly remove the world fragment he gave them from their Kickstarter. That is unlikely to happen. Which is why he is willing to rely more on his plans for the future.

A/N: I know a lot of you don't like the first sage. But you have to agree that he doesn't do stuff halfheartedly. He likes to go the extra mile.
