Greed All For What Chapter 1638

[ … words ]

If Legion were awake to see the progress of the era of conquest, they would be surprised to find that most of the things that happened in the simulation was real. If they had been awake, they would have been able to use the information in the simulation to their advantage.

They have the First Sage to thank for that. Of course, Soverick’s technique is extraordinary, even for Supreme Origin gods. But it still can’t compare to what a world god who specializes in fate is capable of.

The first sage tried to make the illusion as real as possible, so he used the information Soverick had and added a little information from his side to fool them. It had to be authentic, or it wouldn’t fool them. After all, they were stupid, not blind. Even stupidity couldn’t stop them from noticing a glaring vulnerability. Soverick proved this point very well.

The simulation was a true work of art. The first sage had put in a lot of effort to make it authentic. In some situations, authenticity could be maintained when the illusion involved information about weak entities. As for powerful entities, the first sage had to splice and dice in new information to derive new information.

For example, GREED’s meeting with the Supreme Tyrants. Legion had information about GREED since they had met GREED before. They also had a lot of information about other demon gods, so the illusion of GREED in the simulation was accurate.

As for his action of meeting with the Tyrants to help them, that was the first sage’s manipulation based on something he saw in the future. So the first sage had to use the information about the future to manipulate the data in the simulation without making Legion notice anything strange.

There were many such things that happened in the simulation that had nothing to do with Legion. But if Soverick had looked casually, he would have found them, and they would have been accurate enough to fool him.

It was not until Soverick looked at the events not related to the era of conquest that he noticed an anomaly. That was the limit of what the first sage could do with limited resources. But even what he managed to put together was impressive.

There are a lot of things that happened within the illusion that are relevant in the real world. So it is Legion’s good fortune to see something that they didn’t think was possible. Of course, there are other things that the first sage knows but didn’t show Legion in the simulation. One of them is going on now in the real world.

GREED had done its job well. It was so impeccable that GREED was in a good mood about it. Even if Aeternus had interfered in its mission like he did in the simulation and taken half of the clone, GREED would still be happy with the way things had turned out.

One of GREED’s clones died after the meeting with the Tyrants, so it has to send another clone for its second meeting in the void outside the high heaven realm. The people it will be meeting this time are special. But special or not, GREED is not someone who can be cheated out of its due.

The first thing that GREED asked for as soon as it arrived at the meeting location was payment.

It was a meeting with three people, and one of them spoke up, “We haven’t even received the information you have for us yet. We will pay after we are sure you don’t plan to fleece us.”

GREED said with disdain, “It seems you are not serious enough. If you were, you would know that this risk is something you have to deal with when you transact with a traitor. Give me what I asked for first, or you can forget about getting anything out of me.”

The second person spoke, “You are right. We are desperate enough. We will give you the money first. But you have to swear that the information you have is authentic and that you are not about to betray…”

GREED interjected, “Let me stop you right there. I will not swear to anything. If you don’t want what I have, just say you don’t want it. There’s no need for me to subject myself to this much scrutiny. You are the desperate ones, and you are the ones that called for me, not the other way around.”

GREED turned to leave, but it was called back.

“Wait. Let us think about it.”

Then they made a show of discussing it amongst themselves. But they didn’t discuss if they were going to pay GREED for its information without taking any oaths. Instead, they debated killing GREED after making the deal with it.

They are Tyrants with Supreme Laws. Each one of them represents thousands of beings with Supreme Laws. In fact, these are not their true bodies. This is just one of their undead hosts. It is a being that they have rewritten its whole existence into their own image. They have many such powerful puppets at their disposal. This is the kind of power that they wield alone. They may not be able to match the strange Legion they have heard about recently even with their thousands of Supreme puppets. This is because their Supreme Law can only enhance their puppets or them and can only use either Supreme Strength, Supreme Speed, or Supreme Defense. But that’s only if they fight Legion alone.

Together, Tyrants become stronger because of their ability to enhance each other and make each other’s Supreme Laws work together. So the Tyrants, as a race in the immortal lands, wield a lot of power.

Their strength is so obvious that their realm tree was named after them without being the realm lord. While it is not rare that they have been disrespected like this, they always make sure to teach the disrespectful person a lesson.

The first one asked, “How do make this demon suffer and how long do we make it suffer for disrespecting us?”
