Greed All For What Chapter 1641

[ … words ]

Most of the energy GREED possesses is in the high heaven realm, not the Tyrant realm. As a smart and greedy demon, it knows not to put its eggs in one basket. And as a double agent, it knows not to put most of its eggs on a sinking ship.

Most importantly, GREED had to put a clone in a location where its true boss could meet with it. So GREED was in the abyss of the high heaven realm when someone came to see it.

GREED, an ocean of sickly green energy, was roaming the depths of the abyss when this person appeared silently beside it. There was no aura from the visitor. It was almost as if they were a dead object or a hologram. But GREED saw this person and shivered.

If GREED had legs and could bow, it would. It couldn’t, so it had to make do with speaking respectfully, “Welcome, Monarch High Heaven.”

That’s the name of this person. Seeing as they are a high elf with green skin, golden eyes, and golden hair, and they dared to come to the abyss, it is highly likely that GREED is right and this is the realm lord.

Of course, it is not possible for GREED to make such a mistake as to misidentify the realm lord based on looks. If GREED had never met the realm lord before, it wouldn’t be so sure that it is the realm lord standing before it right now.

Monarch High Heaven spoke, “How have you been doing?”

GREED replied, “I have been doing well.”

“Is that so? Why don’t you tell me about it?”

And so GREED told the realm lord about its meeting with the Tyrants in the Tyrant realm and the three others in the void. GREED told him everything they talked about without sparing any details.

This is why GREED is not scared that it would be killed by the realm lord if it stayed in the high heaven realm. The realm lord is its boss, so he won’t kill it yet.

The Realm Lord chuckled when he heard the details of the second meeting. He said, “So they think they can pull one over my eyes. That’s good. They can come again, and I will get rid of them all the same.”

GREED offered, “Should I leak fake news to them about when you will be absent from the realm?”

The realm lord rejected the suggestion. “No. They are not that stupid. They are still suspecting you and will suspect any information you bring to them. It will be very difficult to fool them with information about me. How will someone like me leak my plans? Even if I do, it has to be fake. It is too far-fetched to believe that you somehow got your hands on my true plans.”

GREED didn’t give up. It said, “It may be far fetched, but they are desperate. They will grasp at any chance they can get, even if they are suspicious.”

Monarch High Heaven paused. He looked at GREED and said, “You just want to get the world spark they are offering you, right?”

GREED didn’t deny it. “I just don’t want something like that to go to waste.”

The realm lord shook his head. “It will go to waste even if you get it. I’ve already given you

one. Another world spark will not be of any use for you to become a world ender. It will truly go to waste in your hands.”

GREED still didn’t give up, “There can’t be too much of anything, right?”

Actually, there can be. Too much of anything is actually a sin. There can even be too much water or mana for beings who can’t bear it. But the realm lord wasn’t going to explain that to a demon. Demons don’t know reason. They only know one thing.

So the realm lord became cold. The world froze around them. His voice arrived echoed loud and clear in this dark, cold, silent world. “Just do what you have been paid for. Don’t mess with my plans. You have already done enough. Leave the rest to them, and forget about that divine spark. I’m sure they can figure out a way to take me out of the realm themselves.”

“As for you, you can continue with your current activities. I will call you when I need you.”

Then the realm lord disappeared. The world resumed, leaving GREED furious and uncontented.

GREED grumbled inwardly, “We will see who will have the last laugh.”

GREED is a double agent. It is pretending to be a traitor while secretly working for the realm lord. People think it refused to swear the oath of the abyssal coalition, but they don’t know that GREED was the first one to swear an oath among all the demons.

Its oath was to the realm lord. It was also to the the realm, and it is regarding its job as a double agent. The Realm Lord had approached it first with the offer, and GREED took it. After all, it got a divine spark immediately after it agreed, and it could act like a traitor and earn resources through that identity.

Not only that, it is also allowed to sabotage the High Heaven Realm. This is because its oath demands it. That way, its identity as a traitor will be believable to both sides of the realm war. So if the high heaven realm loses the era of conquest, as the only demon god working against the realm, it would surely be the one to receive the last boon of the abyss.

That kind of deal is one of a kind. GREED had to accept it. However, it also had to swear an oath of secrecy to the realm lord, amongst others. All in all, it was a great deal to make. Unfortunately, that is still not enough for GREED. GREED still wants to earn a divine spark through its identity as a traitor. This is not only because it is greedy. It is because it doesn’t trust the realm lord.
