GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1980  12 × 12.

As laws, they are certain that they are find and their past was wrong. They are certain of everything without a doubt. Its source is a stubborn pride that they have suddenly gained.

They have supreme confidence in themselves. They believe that everyone else is inferior and will lose to them, including their past selves. Legion-1 said, "We will overcome all of reality together."

Legion-2 agreed and said, "Then we will overcome each other until only one of us remains."

Legion-3 nodded, "Agreed. There can only be one. Everyone will either become one or only one will exist in all of reality."

They can agree on that because they are the same thing. It is like seeing a mirror of themselves. They believe they are perfect, so the other clones are perfect too.

If there had been any difference in them, they might have decided to fight each other right now. It is something highly plausible because they are equipped with the tools needed to overwrite the Supreme laws of others. The previous Legion is dead now. They are the Supreme law that the previous Legion built.

They are the sum of the memories, love, hatred, care, affection, goals, laws, energy, souls, and bodies of the previous Legion distilled to highly concentrated perfection.

Whatever the previous Legion didn't add to them is no more. Their goal is to overwrite all of reality until everything is them. That is the goal of every Supreme law, but more so for Legion.

The clones look like each other, so they won't fight immediately. If there is one thing they wish they could change now, it is that they want to control the other clones. It is something that each clone wishes to be able to do.

In the past they used to be fine with their individual identity, but now it feels wrong. It is probably because each clone has become a completely individual entity. They only share power and the same goal, nothing else.

Legion-4 said, "I guess this is what Gemini twins feel like. Different entities with connected Origin."

Legion-11 added, "But we are better than some Gemini twins. We intend to make sure everyone gets to be connected with us."

The foundation of all twelve Supreme laws are the Aspects of Will, Matter, Energy, and Consciousness. This couldn't be changed, so they only had room for eight more aspects.

They weren't content with just twelve Aspects, but they had to be. Many other world gods only have four aspects, but they have 12, three times as much. And each of the 12 aspects has 12 variations.

So even though they are limited to using a maximum of 12 aspects, they have 12 times the amount of someone who has reached the limit of what they should have. The eight aspects they decided on are Evolution, Knowledge, Entropy, Infection, Unity, Probability, Space, and Time. They are what is important in a Supreme law, as it will determine what they are capable of in the future. Evolution was picked for their goal to achieve perfection. It is an advanced form of Adaptation.

They want to constantly grow stronger. They want to be able to adapt to every situation they encounter and acquire the best means to survive. They want to be able to do this until they become the strongest or they lose all their weaknesses. To that end, they needed Information and Entropy. Information will enable them to acquire information about the target or environment they want to adapt to, and Entropy will enable them to be capable of change no matter the situation.

Entropy is perhaps their greatest achievement. It is thanks to their demon clone that they managed to acquire it.

They didn't even plan to use Entropy at first as they didn't know how to control it. But everything changed when they mastered the Aspect of Information. It was then that they realized that they already had what they needed to master Entropy. It turned out that the lord of Madness was on to something. A research field built with the Aspect of Information combined with demons could lead to the control of Entropy. When they mastered the aspect of Information and had woven it into their Supreme law, the secrets of Carnages's Supreme law and Aeternus's immunity to Chaos energy became known to them. They were able to realize that Entropy was the opposite of energy and also an information state. Energy is the capacity to do work. Someone or something might be capable of moving, but without energy, they won't be able to move.

If they get energy, they will be able to convert it to work. During that process of moving, they will gain more Entropy. Thus Entropy is used and transformed potential. It is created by change and transformation. Entropy is the reason why energy can never be converted into work or another form of energy with a 100% efficiency. Part of that energy is converted into information in the system that does the work. Others aren't immune to Entropy because they can't control their information state and because their capacity for information is limited.

Because they can't control Entropy, it becomes disorder and chaos in their system. It becomes a poison in their system that wears down the system.

If they could control Entropy, they would find out that it is just usable potential for change. Even if they could control it, their capacity for information is limited. When they reach that limit, the system will break, stop working, and fall apart. But Aeternus is different because he has infinite capacity for information.

This infinite capacity is not present all at once. It is only evident in the fact that his limit for information changes can grow. So as long as this limit grows faster than the rate at which he changes, he will remain immune to chaos and Entropy. They suspect that this infinite capacity started out with him from the moment he became a fledgling demon. He has only been increasing the rate at which his capacity increases over the years as he evolved.
