GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1525 What Must Be Done.

Chapter 1525 What Must Be Done.

The realm lord nodded and said, "Ok. It will come in handy."

The first sage continued, "The second compensation is something that is especially useful against spiritual entities. I learned this from my encounter with our mutual acquittance in the Spiritual Dimension that has passed away. This object can freeze the consciousness."

The green elf cocked an eyebrow. "What use is that to me?"

The first sage was still confident. He said, "This method is so powerful that even spiritual entities that can become intangible have to be wary of it. With it, you can be confident of restricting such an entity."

The realm lord was skeptical. "Even if it is so great, I still don't have a need for it."

"You might not be able to use it personally, but you can give it to someone else who might have a need for it or who can use it for you."

The realm lord sighed. He said, "I'm guessing you won't be telling anyone about my acquisition of this item."

"Yes. It is the third item I have to exchange for your information."

The realm lord rubbed his face with his hand and said, "You know too much."

The first sage chuckled and said, "There is no use resisting. All of this is inevitable. It was ordained. It was meant to happen. It is fate."

The realm lord snickered, "Fuck fate. But we have a deal."

He knows enough about the first sage to understand what he meant by inevitable. In everything the first sage does and with everyone he interacts with, there is an ending that has been ordained. That ending is a destination for the interaction that the first sage has set. So no matter how someone resists, they will eventually reach that ending.

For example, in a gamble, that person will not only lose all of their wealth, but they will also lose something more precious than wealth. Another example is a bait for talented battle sage monkeys. No matter how scheming such a talented battle sage monkey is, they will take the bait and do what the first sage wants them to do.

He should be afraid of the first sage if he were anyone else, but he is not everyone else. He has the system. With the system, the more he knows about someone or something, the less that person or thing will be able to affect him.

So he is not afraid of making a deal with the first sage with the information he has. Just the knowledge that the first sage has it and will use it has given him an edge against the first sage.

The two of them made the exchange. The realm lord got what he wanted and left immediately. The first sage also left in a hurry. He has schemes brewing and a plot to hatch. The next step on his agenda is to build this artifact that the realm lord assured him might be able to contain a world ender.

The realm lord even assured him that the artifact had been tested with a weak version of true Chaos in the form of a claymore. The claymore worked for a while until it became too weak to handle Chaos energy. This was when the Chaos energy reached the level that could harm demon kings and Origin gods. This knowledge will help the first sage know his limits and remain safe.

The first sage observed, "This information is surprisingly accurate. I wonder how he got it."

He is impressed because true Chaos is not easy to encounter. The first option requires him to be able to enter a realm tree. That's the only way to reach the abyss. But that's impossible to do as a world god. The other option is to go to the very bottom of the void universe. But that's very dangerous and stupid. He didn't become a world god by courting death foolishly.

He wouldn't want to encounter a world ender much less true an ocean of Chaos. But he doesn't have a choice in the matter of a world ender anymore. Legion has forced his hands.

Even then, he would rather make a deal with the realm lord and expose that he knows some of his plans than to court death with true Chaos.

He thought to himself with anticipation, "It can happen at any moment now. I can't wait."

He is waiting for Legion's next move against him. In fact, he has already made the first move. He is just waiting for Legion to react and retaliate against him. But then, it would be too late for them.

-------

Legion is currently happy. So is the first and the realm lord of high heaven realm. Draco isn't happy at all. He is not the only unhappy Cosmic entity in the void universe. The Protector isn't happy either.

The protector of the Void Universe or the one world gods and Usurpers call the Overgod or greatest god of the void universe is currently similar to Draco in a lot of ways. Both of them are unhappy and are complaining about it.

Draco is blaming the Protector for setting him up, while the Protector is blaming the Watchers and Legion for letting it down.

"Those three blockheads don't do anything helpful. They just sit and cause problems for me."

"As for this Legion, they had just one job. All they had to do was be greedy. It is the one thing they are good at but they still failed at it."

It has experienced a lot of reasons to be unhappy recently. Its plan to get rid of Legion and Draco didn't work out. It should have worked if Legion had decided to preserve the dragon clone.

Seeing as the only two clones at the Supreme power level are the Tree Father and Aeternus. Those two would have been sent to assist the dragon clone if Legion truly wanted to save him instead of Ragnarok.

If they had done that, Draco would have made direct contact with Aeternus and would have had to do everything in his power to get rid of the demon clone to cut off the connection he created. That would have brought everything into the light and ruined both of them.

Unfortunately, Legion was not tempted by the fact that the dragon clone could follow in the footsteps of his ancestor to become a world god and usurper easily. Because of this, Draco didn't fail in fusing with his Cosmic source and Legion got away with the heart of the god beast.

Then something good happened soon after. Legion made the foolish mistake of allowing a giant of order to become an Origin god. They were practically asking for the void universe to gain access into their existence and overwrite them.

It is something the Overgod would have obliged them had it not been for their possession of the crown of domination. With the crown of domination, any power that they have a certain amount of control over cannot overwhelm them.

The crown of domination made it impossible for him to use the unification of Helios with the law matrix as a backdoor into their existence. He could have at least put Helios into an eternal stasis, but the Watchers took that from him.

The Protector said to himself before moving towards a particular destination, "Let me hear what they have to say for themselves."

He is certain of it and very angry about it, so the Protector decided to go and have an angry exchange with the three blockheads right now.

The protector knows that the Watchers could have rewarded Legion with the Authority of the void universe for their work in gaining control and unifying the Authority of the three paths. But they didn't do that.

It knows that the Watchers could have also given Legion the Crown of Unification instead of the Crown of Domination. The Crown of Unification would be able to fuse abilities, concepts, and Supreme Laws and make them work together.

If they had it, it would have made Helios's fusion with the heart of the god beast seemless. But it would certainly not be able to resist the encroachment of the Law of Order into Legion's existence. If anything, it would have encouraged it.

However, the Watchers didn't do any of that. They just had to ruin its good work. Now the only thing the Protector can do is watch Legion build their world fragment and grow stronger.

It won't be able to act against them until they come to the dark side. By that time, they would have surely created a lot of Chaos for it to be able to use more of its power on them. But it is not happy.

Legion-1's mere existence is infuriating. However, it won't bear its anger alone. It will visit the three blockheads and properly lay into them. Maybe this time, its words will get through their thick skulls, and they will act in the interests of the void universe.

It knows that that is unlikely. But it must try. That is what it is programmed to do.
