GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 910 Dangerous Situation.

Chapter 910 Dangerous Situation.

He also noticed the signs of a recent battle. There are a lot of dead Warrogs around with missing body parts. There are blood pools everywhere and scattered body parts. The body parts probably belong to some of the corpses who are missing some. The wall is largely intact but it is marked with blood in several places and the ground in front of the tribe has been wrecked.

"The battle must have been very fierce." He said to his company.

"It was. The two pack leaders are very strong, that's for sure."

"It is a strength that we will never possess." The other one said in envy.

His partner agreed with him. "Yes." Then he said to Legion-6, "You might become as strong as them if you live long enough."

Legion-6 smiled and shook his head. He said modestly, "I am still young. That's a long time away."

"But you have the possibility of gaining that strength. That is what is most important." One of them said with barely concealed jealousy.

The other Beta glared at his partner who immediately shut up. Legion-6 noticed the interaction between them. He is very surprised by what happened. He doesn't know why a Beta will be jealous of him.

So he asked. "Why can't you become as powerful as the pack leader?"

They looked at him strangely. "Do you not know or are you joking with us?"

He chuckled awkwardly. "Of course, I know. I just wanted to mess with you for messing with me. Who wouldn't know such a thing?"

The Betas chuckled too. "So you are a joker."

"I am not really a joker. I just wanted to liven the depressing atmosphere."

The jealous one said with a grunt, "It is clear that you are a bad joker. Your attempt sucked. It couldn't have worked. Who doesn't know that Betas can't become mana entities? Only Alphas can become Mana entities and become pack leaders."

The other sensible Beta rushed to Salvage the situation. He feels that they shouldn't anger an Omega. So he said, "It is not as if it used to be like this. I heard from the Shaman that every Warrog could grow as strong as they wanted in the past. But that changed around here. The ones that are not paragons at all can't reach the Vitality core stage while the paragons that are Betas can't become Mana entities. It may not be like so in every pack in the world so not everyone will know about it."

The jealous Warrog scoffed but he remained silent. The explanation for how the young Omega's joke might have worked is far-fetched but he is not going to refute it because he understands the underlying motive for the explanation.

Legion-6 on the other is very surprised by the information.

"If this is true for the whole race, then they will be very weak." He thought to himself. "What could have caused it? Or are the Betas testing me right now? Are they spouting false information to test my knowledge?"

He has a lot of questions but he can't ask them. He has already messed up by revealing his ignorance. He can't allow his ignorance to be confirmed as real and not a joke. So he didn't ask any more questions about why Betas can't become mana entities. He also chuckled when he heard the explanation. He didn't refute it or agree with it.

He became alert immediately and watched their reaction. But the two Warrogs didn't seem suspicious of him. If they are suspicious, then they must be hiding it very well so Legion-6 didn't let go of his guard against them.

"If what they said is right, then Warrogs are not influential in the plane. That is bad for me. But that is in the long run. On the other hand, if what they said is wrong and they are testing me, then things are very bad for me in the short run." He thought to himself.

"I don't know which one is better." He concluded. "I don't like this. Being weak is bad."

On one side is the weakness of an entire race. If the warrogs are struggling to become mana entities while the tree people are struggling to become titans of law and beyond, the difference between the two races will be too large which will make Warrogs second-class citizens in the plane. Second-class races don't live well in a plane.

It is unlikely to be the case since Warrogs have divine abilities. Races with divine abilities are always the contenders for Overlords of the plane so the Warrog race shouldn't have fallen so low but he is hoping for it to be true at this point because he will be in immediate danger if it is not.

The three of them moved closer to the wall. It was then that he noticed an oddity about the corpses.

"What happened to the other bodies?" He asked because he noticed that the amount of dead bodies is much less than what to expect from a single park much less two who fought and damaged themselves to a large extent. There are only 23 dead bodies here after all. That is too few casualties.

One of the Betas answered. "The deceased Warriors of both packs have been taken. These ones are the relatives of the traitorous pack leader that we could find."

"Oh." He nodded and said. Then he thought to himself, "So these are my family members. They are so unlucky."

He said nothing after that and they also became silent. It made the silence bigger and more prominent. He tried not to behave skittish but he is truly on edge. He feels as if he is walking on a ledge that can crash at any moment.

He doesn't know why they became silent but he doesn't like it. He is very sure of why he became silent though. He became silent so that he can listen better. He needs to listen very well if he wants to notice an ambush and react early enough.
