GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1390 Lies And More Lies.

The Star Shatterer is a true miracle of power. However, she is limited by the amount of cosmic energy that she possesses. Cosmic energy is needed for worlds and world gods to evolve. If she had a lot of it, then she would be a menace to the void universe itself.

It is a good thing that the void universe doesn't provide anything to world gods. But it is a bad thing for world gods.

He said to himself in amusement. "It is no wonder why world gods will choose to prey on the void universe rather than help it."

His clone dissipated into the void and his attention returned to his plans and preparations.

He complained. "I wish I had more cosmic energy."

World gods are not the only ones who have a lack of the precious energy. Cosmic energy is one of the three forms of matter-energy substrate that world gods need. It is a substance that can be transformed into force and can also be used to grow stronger by those who can control it.

He himself will need a lot of it when he becomes a world god. However, he already has a lot of needs for it currently. Unfortunately, his position as the realm lord is not helping him in that aspect.

The world spark is the source of cosmic energy for a realm tree. It supplies cosmic energy for what the realm tree needs and only what the realm tree needs. The world spark doesn't like him so it won't give him Cosmic Energy.

If the world spark was willing to give him cosmic energy then he might not be looking forward to the era of conquest so much. He doesn't care if the world spark is just doing its job, since it won't do him any harm and will only benefit him, it has become a must to remove the world spark for freedom.

It is something that he wants to do as soon as possible. Unfortunately, he doesn't have enough cosmic energy to finish his preparation for the era of conquest quickly. So he has to look for it like a normal world god.

Monarch High Heaven's gaze narrowed as he looked at the only sentient star in the realm of high heaven, probably the whole void universe. That star is also a spring of Cosmic Energy. He could have all the cosmic energy he needs if he gains access to this star.

But he looked away and grumbled, "If I were a normal world god, I wouldn't have to go too far to find Cosmic Energy."

The major cause for the delay in the era of conquest is looking for sources of Cosmic Energy like other world gods. He truly needs cosmic energy for a lot of things. However, the most important thing that he needs cosmic energy for the most is Authority.

He can't have too much Authority so the lack of cosmic energy has caused a delay in its production. This is a delay that could be solved if he had permission from Mother High Heaven to nab a certain star full of cosmic energy. But Mother High Heaven refused his request to act against Legion just as she refused his request to act against any of her children.

The usefulness of cosmic energy is why he covets Helios. It is why he approached Legion-7 to make a deal with him. He is not interested in his experience in the spiritual dimension. In fact, he knows about the great mother and other soul prowlers. Legion is not the only one to investigate the Phoenix race or know about the spark of consciousness.

All he wanted to know from Legion-7 was how he escaped from the great mother. That moment is very important because it is the same moment that Helios became a star, Ragnarok escaped from the demon god of Carnage, the dragon clone changed, and Soverick looked at him.

Legion changed at that moment. It is either that they were hiding their capabilities which they displayed at the same time or they suddenly gained some previously unknown abilities at the exact same time.

The abilities that they have all shown are different so they might be a coincidence. It could be that Legion decided at that point to stop hiding some of their capabilities. But he doesn't believe it to be a coincidence since it occurred just after they broke another rule of the universe.

point to stop hiding some of their capabilities. But he doesn't believe it to be a coincidence since it occurred just after they What's strange is that the information about the rule they broke and its effects on them doesn't show up on their stats screen at all. It is almost as if the reward for the law that they broke doesn't affect them in any way whatsoever.

So he has been after Legion ever since. Unfortunately, he can't act against them directly so he hoped to fool them into releasing a hint of their source of strangeness.

It is not the first time he is lying to get his way. Lying is second nature to him. He has done it several times to others and twice to Legion whenever he met them for deals.

The first time he met with Legion was with Aeternus. He lied then that he couldn't get their information from the system without their permission. It was to give Legion a false sense of security.

He didn't want Legion to know that the reason why he couldn't access their information was because Mother High Heaven refused to grant him access to information on Origin gods. If Legion knew that all he needs is permission from the Will of the realm, then they might become scared of him.

The second time he lied was with Legion-1. He lied back then and got his way too. The information he got out of Legion-1 helped him to build the translocation pillar that the Battle sage monkeys and Vipers used to transport the participants of the competition into world fragments a large distance away.

He has succeeded twice to great effect with Legion so he expected the third round of deals to go smoothly. However, Legion-7 didn't fall for it. The spiritual abomination refused to give him its memories.
