GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 972 Freedom For Knowledge.

The Emperor replied smugly, "It is not my fault that you chose to assume that I couldn't speak. I don't have to prove anything to you."

Then the emperor asked him, "Would it have changed anything if I could talk?"

Ragnarok didn't say anything to that. He would still have killed everyone and he still planning to eat this one too. He likes silent food but he is not one to shy away from the work needed to make his food silent.

The Emperor chuckled at his silence. "You're an Executioner. You're all the same. You're all stupid and selfish. You only care about yourself and not others. I knew right from the moment that you entered the cavern that you would take advantage of the situation. Your hunger for power makes you so predictable. Trying to convince you not to eat them would have been a waste of time and energy."

He didn't refute the Emperor. Instead, he asked with a sneer, "So why are you talking now? Why didn't you remain silent and let me eat you in peace? I am still going to eat you. So do you want to beg for your life?"

"I am not going to beg for my life. I just said that trying to will be a waste of time. I want to impart some wisdom to you before I die. You may be an Executioner but it seems you are the last paragon of the race. I shouldn't let the wisdom of our race go to waste."

Ragnarok was surprised again. He didn't expect the Emperor to try and help him. It is the last thing that he expected. That's why he became suspicious immediately.

"What do I have to give you for this so-called wisdom? Perhaps you want me to free you."

Knowledge is power and he can do with information from someone who lived in ancient times but he isn't going to allow himself to be fooled. Even if he will be fooled, he won't make it so easy.

The Emperor scoffed at him. "I want my freedom and I will appreciate it if you will free me but I know you won't do it for free. So I will offer you free information which might pique your interest. Then I will ask you to free me in exchange for hearing the remaining information."

Ragnarok couldn't help but be impressed. He chuckled and nodded appreciatively. "Logical and concise. I like you. You don't intend to beg, but you still want your freedom so you intend to offer me a deal. That's a good idea. But I must say that it will be very difficult for me to be impressed. But you can have a shot at it."

"Trust me, you will be impressed." The emperor said smugly, "I know how Executioners think so I know what might appeal to you. You Executioners should all be put down for the good of the race. But your existence is still of some use to the race. You will strengthen your Emperor with your life."

He asked the Emperor, "What do you mean by strengthen my Emperor with my life?"

"Don't you know? Emperors and Executioners are a pair. They are destined to kill and absorb each other. It is best to do so as an Alpha or Alpha of Alphas before you become an Emperor or Executioner. That will ensure you develop a lot of tails during your breakthrough."

"That's how I became the greatest Emperor. I got 8 tails by eating my Executioner when we were both at the Alpha of Alphas stage. She was very strong so her death served me well."

"Do you mean the spikes on my core? I know about that. But there is no Emperor with me. I am the only Executioner in the plane. So I have to make do with eating you guys."

His mana core is different from normal cores. It has a focal point but it has been taken over by his divine ability instead of an element of mana of his own choosing. It occurred because his divine ability resides mainly in his core. His horns, claws, and teeth are just expressions of his divine ability.

It is because of his divine ability and the law of devouring contained within it that makes his core black. It is a swirling vortex of darkness. It also has 9 spikes that protrude out of it. It is as if something wants to grow out of his core.

He knew it was important to let it grow. That's why it is very important for him to gain a lot of stats before the breakthrough. He also knows about its significance. He learned about this through the information that Gehaldirah got about the Warrogs. That information didn't contain the knowledge about the pairing of Emperors and Executioners. But it doesn't matter since there is no other Emperor in existence apart from him in the plane.

The Emperor insisted. "You're wrong about there not being an Emperor. There is always an Emperor. Emperors and Executioners come in pairs."

He shook his head. He doesn't think there is an Emperor but he doesn't intend to argue with the Emperor. It might be normal for an Emperor to be born at the exact same time that an Executioner is born and vice versa, but that is in a normal situation where the race still has its divine ability.

This is not a normal situation. The Warrogs in this plane have been stunted. Executioners and Emperors can't be born at all from the current Warrogs. He had to make his own way to become an Executioner.

From the little information he has acquired, he understands that his existence is a miracle. He believes that the dilution of his divine ability by the fragments of the law of life was not an anomaly that happened to only him and he doesn't believe that another miracle can occur to produce an Emperor. The Warrogs are just not capable of that.
