GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 496 The Dragons Will Not Be Happy.

The realm lord laughed harder when he heard what mother high heaven said about the dragon's having it coming to them. He knows a little about the conflict between mother high heaven and the dragons. The dragons tried to force themselves on her. They made a scheme to overthrow her will and make one of them the realm lord without her consent. That conflict nearly destroyed the plane and they did it because they were pissed off that she didn't choose one of them to be the realm lord.

He shook his head and said, "The dragons are going to be very pissed. Their pride won't let this occur without a fight. This is going to be so enjoyable to watch."

She nodded in anticipation. "Whatever limit Legion broke, it is not as simple as becoming a star. They can do a whole lot more."

First Helios became a star, Soverick's eyes suddenly became very powerful, and now their dragon clone is about to raise up a storm in the dragon's home plane. All these changes happened within moments of each other. It is either a giant coincidence or the law that Legion broke caused everything.

Mother high heaven has seen a lot to put two and two together. She is certain that it has something to do with the new law of the universe that they broke. The changes to Legion have been mostly favorable to her. She got a star out of it. But the dragons will certainly not like the changes to their home plane.

"If only they knew what is brewing in that egg then maybe this entire mishap can be avoided. It will also help that dragon egg or whatever it is now very much. I am sure the dragons will take very good care of it."

The realm lord looked at her and asked, "Are you going to tell them?"

Mother high heaven burst out laughing. She shook her head as she laughed.

"Let it burn. Let it all burn." She said manically.

"Someone is still cross about the whole will subversion ritual." The realm lord said to himself.

He didn't say it out loud or it will make mother high heaven go on a tirade about disrespect and stupid pride. He is just glad that the dragons don't know what's coming for them.

The dragons don't know yet what threat is brewing for them since the threat is still in an egg. No one will suspect an egg of becoming a threat capable of destroying an entire plane. It is a reasonable assumption that eggs are harmless but it will be too late when they realize the threat it constitutes.

This can all be avoided. One of them could tell the dragons and they will find the egg. They will be able to raise the egg very well so that it won't turn on the plane when it hatches. The plane will be spared and the dragons will have another champion on their side. But she and he won't tell them. It will make for a very interesting show so the realm lord and mother high heaven decided to sit and watch.

Besides, the dragon clone is not doing anything illegal. The current situation is a result of the dragon's ancestry and bloodline. It is just amplified a bit. It isn't reason enough for mother high heaven to interfere and she doesn't want to interfere.

"How many years will it take for something good to happen?" The realm lord asked.

"It will take at least 10,000 years at least. The egg has changed so I can't tell. It might take an Origin cycle." She answered after doing some thinking.

He said eagerly. "I can wait for an Origin cycle. It's going to be worth it."

Tales Of Subordinates.

Legion might have broken a limit of the universe but most of the world went on unawares. The universe might have been in danger but most didn't know about it. They carried on with their lives and plans. Just like the Subordinates of the house of Chaos. They were given a mission which is also a competition by the lord of the house. Nothing has changed enough to stop them from fulfilling that mission.

The house of Chaos is not normal by any standards, demons or otherwise. Families and noble houses in the demon world are not normal or at least, aren't like most families. There is no trading of fuzzy and heartwarming feelings in a noble house. If you feel your heart warming up, odds are you have been poisoned.

It is normal to have betrayal and sabotage in the demon world. Ironic enough, some noble families of other races also partake in betrayal and sabotage like the demon society but that is where the similarities end. Betrayal is not allowed in a demon noble house. It rarely happens unlike how betrayal and murder run rampant in normal noble families of other races.

While betrayal is not allowed in a demon noble family, murder is allowed as long as the head of the family allows it. That's how a normal demon noble family operates. It may be different from the concept of family for other races but it is normal for demons and sometimes, it is better than noble families of other races.

The house of Chaos is abnormal by demon standards. Everything about it is abnormal. The members of the house were not recruited normally. They were not coerced with promises of power despite the fact that most of them joined because of power. The situation they were in when they were offered power influenced their decision to join the family.

It is very hard to say no to something when you know that your refusal might cost you your life. The worst part is that they already had part of the power before joining the family and they had paid half of the price of blood already. It would have been a waste to reject the remaining power and let the lives they took be in vain.
