Greed: All For What?



Legion ran and ran. They voted on what to do about the strange, identical creatures chasing them. 7 to continue running while 2 voted to do something about them, be it trapping them somewhere, creating a bomb to make them explode, devouring them, or using Chaos energy to submerge them.

While that last part appealed to them as they would be able to see how a world god would fate against Chaos energy, only Aeternus and Ragnarok were for it. The rest of the clones were not willing to risk their lives at all.

It is not even a matter of Legion-7 keeping something from them anymore. They can all see for themselves that things are very serious. It wouldn't have mattered if they had succeeded in killing the first strange being that looks like them. It wouldn't have mattered if they had somehow gotten rid of the second one either.

Everything about the whole situation is unnatural, and it is clear that they can't win. Not unless they are ready to confront the first Sage.

Getting to experiment with a world god is appealing to them, but they can't confront the first sage yet, so they ran and ran and ran.

They were not truly in any danger as long as they ran though. The strange beings had no chance of catching them. It was just the need to run and the inability to continue their experiments or do anything against the creatures that made them frustrated.

Their frustration made them decide to make Aeternus stronger. This was after careful consideration and calculations. The main aim of this endeavor is to make his Chaos energy so strong that it will corrode unconscious Origin gods in the Spiritual Dimension faster. That way they will be able to achieve some results in the little time they have before the creatures catch up to them.

The second goal is to make Chaos energy so strong that it will eliminate the strange creatures instantly. Legion-7 insisted on that particular requirement if they were to ever confront the creatures. He said they had to make sure that there was no contact between them physically or spiritually for more than a second.

The second goal cannot be met since these creatures have the power of Supreme Origin gods and the durability of world fragments. Aeternus wouldn't be able to destroy them instantly as long as he remained a demonic spark.

But that first goal is highly plausible and good enough for them. Plus, the process of achieving it is interesting and fun. Aeternus got to raid immortal continents and burned them to the ground over and over again. They were able to take out their frustrations that way. He would do this and then return to the spiritual dimension after being chased. The new chaos energy would be tried against the shattered Origin gods. When the strange creatures arrive to disrupt him, he would return to the void universe, find another immortal continent, and then burn it to the ground.

This cycle repeated itself again and again for 10 thousand years. They didn't give up running, and the strange creatures didn't give up chasing. They were able to adapt to it, so it became a way of life for them. But something changed in the void universe after 10,000 years that affected them too.

It has been quite a while since the end of the era of conquest of the high heaven realm. Many realm trees have bloomed in that period of time, but the light of the high heaven realm is no

more.

The changes to the void universe have been little, but they have been very big to Legion. The void universe is very large, so the disappearances of a realm tree or two are not significant to it. It is practically a daily occurrence in the void universe.

But to Legion, the High Heaven Realm has always been their home realm. They have lost it and therefore lost the assistance of the Will of the realm, Mother High Heaven. It means that they are on their own in their quest to become world gods.

Not only that, Legion still hasn't been able to meet up physically ever since their last meeting with Monarch High Heaven. This is more of a good thing since they have something very valuable that even world gods would try to steal from them.

It is because they don't want to be robbed. That's why they make the clones stay away from each other. There's also the matter of their strange pursuers. Those beings have become more than one hundred now. They are the bad reason why they must continue running.

Fortunately, the clones are of one mind, literally and figuratively. They are not together physically, but they are always together mentally and spiritually. So they were able to communicate and talk about what they would do about the realm lord's invitation to his project after he announced the opening of his project.

All nine of them were taking some time to talk about the invitation. It is not strange considering the importance of this matter.

As it is, many entities of various power levels and races are also talking about the project that can grant one the opportunity to get the chance to acquire the Authority of the void universe.

Legion-7 started, "It seems the realm lord still remembers his promise to us. He has invited us to the project."

Legion-3 didn't share his opinion. "It is not exactly a good thing. I'm sure he has something to gain from it."

Ragnarok provided an alternative, "It could be that he gained the support of world gods for the era of conquest and a lot of resources to win it. So this project might just be payment for the services he received."

Legion-1 asked him, "Do you really believe that?"

Ragnarok sighed and said, "No. I doubt someone who will kill Mother High Heaven immediately he became a world god would do something like hold a project that gives out Authority without having something to gain from it. But I would like for things to not be complicated for once. We already have a lot of work on our hands without the addition of some scheme."
