GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1012 Utter Disregard.

Chapter 1012 Utter Disregard.

He is a Warrog and also an indigene of this plane, so he felt the spiritual impact. It opened up the connection between him and Emperor Rinoz. She used the connection to speak with him directly. A ghostly apparition of a yellow fox with 9 fluffy tails and white antlers appeared before him. This apparition is bigger than him, so it is looking down on him.

"Submit." The apparition said to him.

He snorted. "I'll never submit."

"I am your Emperor and also your child of the plane. You will submit to me." She said imperiously.

"Ha," He laughed. 

He truly finds whatever this is very funny. 

"I know who and what you are and I am not impressed. I hope you didn't think that whatever you have going on would be enough for me to submit to you. You're an ant compared to a demon god. I didn't submit to a demon god, so why will I submit to you?"

Rinoz said to him as a matter of fact, "It is admirable that you resist the demon god. But you have no choice anymore. You will submit one way or the other. So submit to me. I can save you from being bonded to an abomination."

He was not convinced. "I am not as stupid as you think. I won't be trading one master for another." He replied.

She insisted. "Stop being so stubborn. You have no choice. You are weak. Accept your fate and choose a better master."

He stood up and roared at her. "I am no one's slave. I would rather die than be enslaved. I was named Ragnarok by the ancestors of my pack. I am meant to end worlds. But that wasn't enough for me. I killed those ancestors and fulfilled their prophecy. My potential will not be reduced to the level of destroying worlds and I will not fall so low as to become someone's slave. This world will end before that happens."

She fell silent. Then she left. The apparition disappeared.

Ragnarok snorted. Then he laid back on the ground. He truly feels insulted. 

"They just keep coming at me one after the other." He thought to himself. 

First, it was Emperiti and the unfair Oath. She took advantage of his compromised situation to fleece him. Then it is this young Warrog who thinks she has the right to be his master. 

It is one thing for her to think so, it is another thing to actually ask him to his face. It screams utter disregard and he won't take it. He has to suffer the recruitment of a demon god. The demon god is stronger than him and has him in a chokehold. But he won't suffer the same thing from Rinoz. 

The voice in his head spoke, "That was admirable, I must admit. I thought for sure that you would jump at any chance to rid yourself of me. But she is right about something. You have no choice and you need to stop being so stubborn. Stop being a child already and accept your situation. Nothing will change about your situation."

He ignored them both and went back to sleep. He knows what it means to be a slave. Legion-7 is a slave currently. He had to be. He was forced into it. Death couldn't even save him from that slavery. As for him, his situation is bad. He can admit to that. But he is not a slave yet. He is still a free person. And he would rather die or see this world perish with everyone present within it than become a slave to anyone.

The voice in his head urged him one last time. "She is very strong. You won't be safe in the devil's pit if she comes after you. You will need to go deep into the Underdark, but you can't because of your size. Even if you could go down, that won't stop her from chasing after you. She will still be able to get to you. Running is not the way. You need strength."

He didn't say anything. If she comes to kill him, then he will run. If he dies and he becomes a slave, then so be it. But he will not become a slave willingly. He hasn't fallen so low.

Emperor Rinoz.

"I must admit." She mused aloud, "I didn't expect that kind of resistance from him."

Fenrir snorted. "I am not surprised by his rejection. I told you that it would happen. All Executioners were once Omegas. They don't bow to authority. They won't submit to any authority no matter how strong it is."

She sighed. "I know, but I thought he would accept my help. He needs help so he should have been glad to receive mine."

"You mistook his resistance to the demon god to mean that he is willing to help the plane. Unfortunately, he doesn't hate the demon god because he doesn't want the demon god to win. He hates the demon god because the demon god wants to enslave him. It is the same thing you wanted to do to him."

"But mine is different. He will be free from the hold of the demon god and within the embrace of his race again. How is that not better than his current situation?" 

Fenrir shook his head, "He doesn't care about anything, including the fate or the comradery of his race. I was there when he ate all the past Executioners. Executioners don't care for cooperation and the bounds of society. Your so-called help is just another form of slavery to him because he would have to listen to you and do whatever you want if he is to continue living."

She looked at Fenrir. She could hear what else he didn't say about her. He didn't call her naive, but she heard it in his words and in the tone he used to say them. Fenrir thinks that she was naive to believe that an Emperor would submit.
