Greed All For What Chapter 887

[ … words ]

Aeternus decided to leave too. There’s no use staying here anymore.

“I am glad that I came.” He said to himself as he entered the purple energy sea.

This meeting was eventful and very useful. He learned a lot of things. He knows now that he has not been suspected yet of being a king of kings. The demon gods would have never allowed him to join the coalition if they suspected him. In fact, they wouldn’t let him talk at all. They would have grabbed him and inspected him down to his soul. Then they would have eaten him.

“I have also found a worthy foe. I wonder how it will feel to tear the crown of a king of kings out of their soul and absorb it?”

He also learned that he might not be the only demon king of kings. He noticed some odd demon kings who came with their main bodies and also possessed a heavy presence. It can be easily mistaken for them being very strong. But he knows better than that.

They came in their main body. So it is either that they are just strong and ignorant, or they are like him and don’t think coming in main body or avatar makes a difference in terms of safety from a demon god, or they are really like him and their main body is just an Avatar created from the crown of a dead demon king.

They are also very strong. Some of the demon kings of kings that he noticed are one of the two that have more influence than him. Odds are their strength and influence is as a result of possessing numerous crowns.

The existence of other demon kings doesn’t make him angry. In fact, he feels the opposite. He is happy that there are other demon kings. It is mostly because three of them are level 10 demon kings which is strong enough to give him a challenge. He can “challenge” these demon kings or have a “spirited session of sparing” with them since there is nothing that says members of the coalition can’t fight each other.

There’s also no reprimand in case the “challenge” goes out of hand. It is a good thing because he definitely wants the “challenge” to go out of hand. He wants to see how strong he will become by absorbing the crown of another king of kings like him. It should be better than the crown of a normal demon king.

He turned his thoughts toward other clones of Legion. It is because of something CARNAGE said.

“I do hope Legion-6 is doing well. He has a lot to contend with. The ancestor of all vampires in the realm of high heaven is after him.”

Legion-6 is a Warrog. He is on the plane that CARNAGE is trying to subjugate. Aeternus is up against GREED while Legion-6 is up against the ancestor of vampires. The powers of GREED are unknown but the prowess of the ancestor of vampires is well known. CARNAGE is a calamity to whichever plane it puts its attention on. Those planes always fall. It is just a matter of time.

Then he shook his head and said, “It won’t do me any good to worry about Legion-6. I have myself to take care of.”

He noticed several demon kings watching him as he flew down into the energy sea. They don’t look like they want to offer him wealth. They are looking at him as if he is wealth that they want to take a piece of.

His situation is not looking good. He is not a secluded figure anymore. There are a lot of eyes on him. He has gotten the attention of several demon gods and demon kings. It is not good news at all. The least of his problems is that he won’t be able to get away with the things he used to do. His every move and action will be scrutinized.

But that is the least of his problems. He has gotten most of the demon gods off of his back but he has painted a nice target on his back. There are a lot of demon kings that want to hit that target. Some of them are following him now to know where his plane is.

Some of them are doing so for personal reasons while others are doing the bidding of demon gods. Demon gods sent them to test, track, or apprehend him. The demon gods swore not to use violence against them, but that doesn’t mean they can’t act against him indirectly. They have demon kings that do their bidding which they can use against him.

All of these problems pale compared to GREED. He can take on other demon kings and he would very much like to do so. It is after all what he wants. For clueless demon kings to enter his plane only to be consumed and added to his crown. But he can’t do that now.

The existence of GREED will not let him relax. It will be okay if GREED underestimates him and sends a weak clone. It will be game over if the demon God comes with a full-powered clone. Either way, GREED will become aware that he is a king of kings once it enters his plane. So he can not risk it all.

In summary, he is not safe at all. He is screwed badly. That is why his main body is currently very busy preparing to run away and sequester himself. Aeternus is calling all of his direct subordinates right now. They are all returning to his plane. Meanwhile, this avatar is wandering around to fool the demon kings that are watching him.

He even spotted the avatar of a demon lord tracking him. A demon lord should be afraid of a demon king in a normal situation. But that fear is superseded by the fear of a demon God. His situation has gotten so bad that weak demon lords that he can flatten with a slap are sniffing around for weakness.
