Greed: All For What?



The Tree Father said, "If I am getting this right, the option for the fusion of laws will make the Supreme Laws enhance the individual worlds first. Then their output will be added to the power of the other worlds for another additive increase in power. After all, Legion-7 is still the Will of both worlds."

"So while the fusion of power will be additive, the fusion of laws will lead to an exponential and additive increase in power. But with the extra power comes more risk and danger."

The realm lord agreed. "Yes, it is powerful but more dangerous. Legion-7 will have to fuse with 8 world sparks in a roll. If you fail to destroy the world spark safely, you might destroy your previous progress and have to start again."

The Tree Father said, "Eight world sparks in a row? That sounds very dangerous."

The realm lord snorted again. "But the benefits are also worth it. In fact, they are more than worth it. No world god will think too much about this before making a decision."

"Unfortunately, they are not presented with the option to choose. You, on the other hand, are privileged enough to make the decision. Besides, all you will lose for trying are world sparks. Those are very easy to get compared to the other fragments."

What he said is the truth. The choice is clear. If the size of their individual worlds is 2, the power of their individual Supreme Law is 10, and Legion-7 is sacrificed as the center of their remaining 8 worlds, with the fusion of power, they will have (2 x 10) x 8. But with the fusion of laws, they will have (2x (10 x 8)) x 8.

The difference between 160 and 1280 is too much. In comparison, a normal world god will have the power of 20, while a realm lord with a powerful world that ranges from 4 to 10 and a Supreme Law with the power of 10 will have a power output between 40 and 100 at most.

If even a realm lord that has a world that is five times more powerful than a single individual world god cannot hope to match them with the power of the fusion of laws, then it is not a tough decision for them to make at all.

The Tree Father said, "Alright. We will see about giving it a shot."

"You should. If you succeed, Legion-7 might even become the white core. After all, he will have everything the Tyrants had, and he will also have a spark of consciousness."

Legion considered that conjecture but didn't dwell on it. They felt that the realm lord was making it seem a bit too easy for them. He was practically encouraging them to do it, which they find odd. But then, they are suspicious of everything, so maybe they are just being paranoid.

Instead, the Tree Father changed the subject. "Let us move on to the next item. How did you create Authority?"

Monarch High Heaven replied with a chuckle, "I did what you were trying to do, but in another way. I tried comprehending the Supreme Law of Order by comprehending all 33 laws of the void universe."

The Tree Father asked, "How did you overcome the barrier between the esoteric laws?"

Legion is aware of the total number of laws in the void universe, but comprehending them has not been easy. Those laws actually hide and resist comprehension. They forget the little they comprehend when they do much as think of something else. This has made it impossible for them to comprehend.

Monarch High Heaven smiled when he heard the question. He said, "That wasn't part of the deal. I was to tell you how I created Authority. I was not to teach you. Besides, you won't be able to use my method because it is my reward for breaking that rule that allows me to create Authority."

The Tree Father didn't complain. He asked, "So you comprehended the Supreme Law of Order and you were not overwritten?"

"No, I didn't. I tried comprehending it, but I didn't succeed. I used that method because it was easier for me. I couldn't gain access to the Supreme Law of Order or Chaos like you did, so I had to try another alternative. It failed me, but I still got something for my effort."

"I'm guessing the Supreme Law of Order is still dangerous then."

The realm lord replied, "Every Supreme Law is dangerous. That is common sense. But the Law of Order is not out to kill you. If it wanted to, it would have done so by now. Of course comprehending it will open you to danger, but it will also enlighten you if you survive the danger."

Legion remembered the first time they encountered the Law of Order. It truly didn't try to kill them. That doesn't mean it is not dangerous. It might even be more dangerous than the first sage.

So Legion was skeptical. They made the Tree Father ask, "Danger is Danger. Why would we go through with comprehending it when we know that it is dangerous?"

Monarch High Heaven encouraged them. "Don't be afraid of the danger you will encounter. It will only destroy the weak. You are by no means weak. You are strong and deserve to know a little more about the purpose of the void universe."

The Tree Father asked, "What about the Supreme Law of Chaos?"

"No, no, no. Chaos is too dangerous. It is not even malevolent. It doesn't mean you harm and it doesn't think much of you. Everything is simply the same to it, a means to propagate. I won't advise you to mess with Chaos at all."

Legion considered his words carefully. Then Tree Father said, "Alright. We are satisfied with what you have provided. Swear the oath that you haven't deceived us and give us the realm hearts so we can finish this deal."
