Greed All For What Chapter 1631

[ … words ]

Legion-4 didn’t agree. He said, “It wasn’t luck. We have met you before, so we knew it was you after noticing the abnormality. What are the odds that the first world god we met will feel like the second world god? It was too much of a coincidence.”

Legion-2 added, “We might have been stupid, but even a dragon claw couldn’t fool us. My meeting with you, both mental and physical, was iconic. It left a mark that we couldn’t forget even when we were muddleheaded.”

The first sage said with pity, “That’s a shame. I tried to mask my aura, but you noticed it at the end of the day.”

He even explained himself to them, “I really tried my best. I had three options. One was to create a fake world god without any foundation. You would have been fooled since you wouldn’t recognize the aura, but you would have noticed if you took a good look at it with your eye.”

“The second option was to use the information of a new world god as the foundation for the fake world god. It would increase its authenticity, so you would be fooled. But I didn’t use that because you would have surely noticed the infiltration and addition of that kind of information into the simulation.”

Legion-1 agreed. “Yes, we would. There’s no way we wouldn’t notice the intrusion of information that large.”

The first sage clapped to applaud him, “Legion is truly impressive. Even a world god has to work so hard just to fool you. And you don’t even have a Supreme Law yet. Well, Legion-7 and Legion-9 should count as Supreme laws.”

“Your uniqueness aside, you would have noticed because the simulation is ultimately your technique, and I am just a guest. This left me with only one option, which was to use the information you already had in the simulation. So I used my information. I had no choice.”

Legion-1 sneered, “I think you underestimated us too much. It is one thing to copy information and use it for the space of the realm heart. We were almost fooled by it. But then you dared to copy information again for a world god.”

The first sage spread his hands and said in frustration, “I had no choice. It is you who think too much about everything. You know, not everything revolves around you.”

His smugness soon returned. “You were too careful. But I still fooled you. What does that say about me?”

It can’t be denied that they were fooled and had been fooled for a long time. The major reason they were fooled was because they were open to the illusion. It shouldn’t have been an illusion, but a simulation.

It was a simulation started by Soverick to predict the era of conquest by combining the information they had with their ability to see the future. So they were willing to accept what was displayed to them and didn’t notice the person who hijacked it.

Well, Soverick noticed something odd at first, but he couldn’t point it out. His cognition had been affected right from that moment. They had lost the reins of the simulation so badly that they didn’t even know that they were in a simulation anymore.

They should also have known that something was terribly wrong when Soverick tried to start the simulation again but failed. That was their best shot at escaping, but they lost it. Then they had to go along with the illusion.

At first, they didn’t notice anything wrong because most of the simulation was new information derived from the combination of their knowledge and the future. They were entrenched in the fake era of conquest too much to detach themselves from it.

But then the person who hijacked their simulation tried to fool them with old information twice in a row. Things unraveled at that point. Soverick noticed, and here they are.

The First Sage sighed and said, “Legion, Legion, Legion. What an enigmatic existence. The information that the dragon king shared about you is nowhere near what I have gained from you. You really can’t know someone until you have been in their mind and seen their thoughts.”

The person was bragging and feeling smug when the white world began to crack. It cracked to reveal a black void beyond it. Large tentacles could be seen through the cracks, occasionally hammering at the mental space and trying to break it.

They have decided that since they are no longer in control, they might as well destroy this battlefield and flip the table completely.

This decision helped Legion regain some of their confidence. They said to the first sage, “This is our loss. But it is not over for us yet.”

The first shook his head. But he agreed with them. He said, “You are right. This is far from over.”

Then his figure changed. His humanoid form gave way to reveal a large white eye. It was a large eye with gray rings within each other.

The white world that was shaking began to stabilize with the appearance of the eye. It stopped shaking, and even the cracks healed.

The first sage repeated, “This is far from over. It is not every day that I can have so much fun. Why don’t we enjoy each other’s presence for a few more minutes? You never know. We might eventually like each other.”

His voice rang throughout the white world and reinforced it.

Legion-7 couldn’t believe it, “How is this possible? This is our mind. It is our consciousness.”

The first sage snickered and said, “Do you think you are so great because you could leave my presence whenever you wanted in the past? Do you think you can push me out after letting me in? If so, then you are very wrong to think so. I let you leave every time we met. You are just an ant to me. No matter how powerful you are among ants, you are no match for a world.”
