GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 991 Carrot And Stick.

He is certain that time will not change his mind about servitude to the demon god of Carnage.

It was the demon god's turn to snicker. "Don't pretend to act tough. We both know that you want to live. If you didn't then you wouldn't have stood up to run away after I bestowed my blessing of Carnage upon you. If you didn't care about your life then you wouldn't have agreed with me about your safety and choose to hide now. And this happened after you displayed a willingness to die. It shows that you can change your mind in the right circumstances."

The tone of CARNAGE became harsh. It had tried to be understanding. It dangled the carrot which are the benefits of being a vampire. But now it is bringing out the stick.

"You want to live and that's fine. But we are joined together now whether you like it or not. Your body is mine till eternity. And through it, I have a hold on your soul. I can't do anything to your soul right now, but I can kill you by simply taking away my blessing. It is mine after all."

"You will die without my help. Then I can have your soul in death. It will be fragmented and you will have lost your will but it will be mine to do whatever I please. You are at my mercy. Without my permission, you will never be able to become a transcendent."

It made sure to show just how big and powerful the stick is. Death, eternal servitude as a drone, and stagnation in strength for as long as he remains stubborn while being alive.

"And even if you become a transcendent, you will have to accept the mark of Carnage and fuse with your modified body. You have no future in sight without me being in the picture. Your stubbornness is admirable but we'll see how far that takes you."

The demon god fell silent after fully displaying his stick. He has spoken about the carrot and now the stick is known. It doesn't plan to use the stick yet, but it will have to if Ragnarok remains stubborn. It understands Ragnarok to be smart so it laid down its cards so that Ragnarok can get the full picture and make the smart decision.

Ragnarok sighed. He doesn't have anything to say about what the Demon god said. He can't refute anything about it. He suspects that it is all true. He isn't certain about the repercussions of dying while in contact with a supreme law. After all, he is the first Legion to experience this. If he is certain that it won't affect Legion, then he will try his best to die.

But if it will affect Legion as CARNAGE said, then his death will be problematic for Legion. CARNAGE might be lying about its grasp on his soul. CARNAGE might be lying about a whole lot of things and his worries might be unnecessary. But he doesn't know. So he must live.

"At least now, No Legion will take the risk of coming into contact with a demon god."

He truly wants to live so that he can play his part in helping Legion achieve perfection. As a clone with that obsession, he can only take solace in the fact that his current situation is not a total waste and that he has increased Legion's knowledge of the power of supreme laws.

He would like to do more, but he is currently shackled together with the demon god. He won't be able to help Legion in his situation despite being alive. Only a miracle can save him.

He doesn't believe in miracles normally. He believes that only strength reigns supreme. But in this situation, the power of a world god is the minimum needed to save him. Legion currently doesn't have that kind of power. That doesn't mean that he will give up though. He will continue to strive for perfection. When there is a will, there could be a way. And when there is life, there is hope.

He found a cave in the mountains just as the sun was about to come up. He entered the cave and collapsed it on himself. Then he took a look at his stats.

STATUS: Scrambled Existence.

He muttered to himself, "This is not an encouraging sight. This is not encouraging at all."

His situation can be surmised as a Scrambled Existence. His body is essentially corrupted while his soul is refusing to fuse with it during the process of becoming a transcendent.

There is a lot of unknown because of his scrambled existence. The system can't work well when his soul and body are so in disassociation. Through it all, there is good and bad news.

The good news is that the limiter on his body has been removed. It is probably because of the heart of Carnage or because he is partially a transcendent. He can finally use the full power of his soul. Unfortunately, he can't use any power of his soul right now because of his scrambled existence.

Another good news is that his physical stats have all reached 1,000,000. This is also mostly due to the heart of Carnage. All the paragons that he ate wouldn't have helped him much after gaining 100,000 stat points in each of his attributes. The heart of Carnage then pushed it further. It could have been higher if his existence was not out of balance.

A/N: I hope you now know why Aeternus did not dare to risk it and decided to become a fugitive. It is as they say, "Once bitten twice shy."
