Greed All For What Chapter 1574
Whose side to take?[ … words ]
[ … words ]
Any excited demon god is an issue to be worried about. An excited GREED is certainly all the hint you need before trouble arrives. After all, being greedy rarely has a good ending.
LIES asked with suspicion, “What has got you so excited? I hope you don’t plan to eat many mortals again. We need them to reproduce to their maximum potential before we can eat them.”
GREED scoffed first before he replied. “Don’t take me for a fool. I might be a lot of things, but I am not shortsighted. Don’t try to deceive me. There’s something else you are not stating as the stakes here.”
LIES didn’t apologize. It said without remorse, “If you know it, then there’s no need for me to say it. What matters is what your decision is.”
GREED scoffed again. Of course, it didn’t expect LIES to tell it the truly important information, but for LIES to say that it doesn’t need to say something because it might already know about it is just insulting.
It is clear that LIES is trying to fool it by withholding information. If there wasn’t so much at stake right now, GREED would fight it already. It didn’t fight now, but it was already preparing for that fight.
The two demon gods are investors. They are the closest that demon can get. But even so, they are secretly sharpening their knives for when they will stab them into the other’s backs. One can only imagine how they would behave and what would be going through their minds if they were openly enemies.
GREED remained uncharacteristically content with scoffing, for now. It replied, “I have decided that we should wait and go along with the plan of the god of life.”
LIES was surprised. It expected the opposite, so it asked, “Why do you think that?”
It was surprised because that wasn’t the answer it expected from GREED. It is asking for GREED to clear its doubt, but it is not as if it is going to believe GREED anyway. There’s too much at stake here for it to blindly believe the other demon god. In fact, it is also ready to fight at any moment. If GREED’s plan is to lure it into a false sense of security, then it is a plan that will fail.
GREED explained. “You could have fooled me if I hadn’t heard about the invaders and the demon god from the other realm.”
LIES chuckled. It said, “You must have found out because that demon god is also called GREED.”
GREED sneered. “You lying shit. You thought you could hide things from me, but I heard about it very quickly. I also heard that the other GREED has gained the support of the other demon gods. That means we are already lagging behind because you tried to fool me. But no matter. I’m all caught up now. We must support the god of life.”
LIES denied it. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Why should we support this god because the other demon gods supported some strange demon god? What that GREED said might not even be true.”
GREED replied with disdain, “It is true because the invasion of the realm has started.”
LIES was shocked. It asked, “There’s actually someone mad enough to invade the Tyrant Realm?”
GREED didn’t reply. It left the scheming LIES and went to make plans to foster the creation of the church of life. As the first demon god that tried to emulate the Tyrants by creating the land of hope because it got greedy for their way of life, it can’t give up on its greed for more power and the opportunity to get that power.
There’s something that LIES didn’t tell GREED. It is the most important reason why it must help the god of life with all its might. It is a must to do this, even if it is going to backstab the god of life in the future.
This reason is that the god of life is an invader, just like the other GREED that came to the abyss. GREED knows this because gods are indeed extinct in the Tyrant Realm, and the whole realm has been forced to participate in an era of conquest as enemies with another realm. These two pieces of information explain where the god of life came from.
The Will of the Tyrant Realm didn’t inform the demons or anyone in the abyss about its unfortunate situation, but it did tell the Tyrants. The Will of the Tyrant Realm told its most powerful race about the realm war so that they could help it, while it didn’t tell the abyss or anyone in it so that news wouldn’t reach the demons and they would remain ignorant of it.
It is obvious that the Will of the realm doesn’t trust the demons of its abyss. If the demons remain ignorant, then they won’t be able to take advantage of the realm. They especially won’t be used against the Tyrants.
Unfortunately for the Will of the Tyrant realm, a demon invader somehow came to the abyss to inform the demons about the invasion and to help the Tyrant realm resist the invasion.
This news divided the abyss. Most of the demon gods didn’t believe it at first, but there are signs proving the possibility of a realm invasion.
Some demon gods decided to negotiate with the Will of the Tyrant Realm to offer their aid in exchange for benefits after they win the era of conquest. They have a good chance of succeeding in their negotiation since the realm is currently lacking in Supreme Origin gods and even in Origin gods because the realm was caught off guard by the war.
So demon gods who are worth many Supreme Origin gods will be very appreciated. Or so they thought. They are doubting themselves because the Will of the realm hasn’t responded to them at all. They can only howl at the sky aimlessly and hope that the Will of the realm can hear them.
