Greed All For What Chapter 1663

[ … words ]

“The Tyrants still cannot escape the fate of death because of the special conditions of their fusion, but they will be able to survive long enough to produce that core when they die. Their fusion with themselves, the world, and their subsequent deaths are needed to leave behind the core ability that allows them to fuse in the first place.”

“This core of their fusion is unique to the Tyrants. It is capable of a lot of things, such as what you thought to do with it and such as creating a new paragon race or an hive mind entity or improving a paragon race.”

Legion-9 asked, “Wait a minute. Is this white ball useful to demon gods? If not, how would GREED know how to create it and tell the Supreme Tyrants to fuse?”

The realm lord asked, “What do you mean GREED told the Supreme Tyrants? Did you see this happen?”

Soverick didn’t know how to answer that question. He eventually said, “Not exactly. The first sage told us.”

The realm lord appeared surprised by the answer. He said, “Huh. The first sage? Interesting.”

He didn’t give anything more than that away, but he became more furious inwardly. He thought to himself in anger, “What is this one eyed freak planning? He is murking about in my business for something. I bet he planned for this.”

This is one of the reasons why he thinks Legion is predictable and the first sage isn’t. He knew what Legion wanted before he came here to have a deal with them. He has always known what they needed everytime they approached him to make a deal with him. This is why he always succeeds in making a deal with them.

The only time that failed was because Legion didn’t know what they needed. But this time they knew and so did he. He was certain that 9 realm hearts would be their bottom line even before the negotiation started. He was also sure that they would want a means to replace the function of the white core.

As for their last request, he wasn’t certain they would ask, but it didn’t take him by surprise either. Virtually everyone wants to know how he succeeded in making Authority so it is not a surprise that someone else who has tried and failed to make Authority is asking for it.

What they needed was glaring, which opens them up to manipulation. If he wasn’t so in a rush, he would have tried to take advantage of them. He has already wasted time searching for them in the vast, void universe, so he would like to get this over with.

The first sage, on the other hand, is always an enigma. Instead of asking for what he wants directly, he would recommend that the realm lord start outsourcing some of the preparation for his project and the era of conquest to other world gods. Then he would find a way to approach his target and have a bet with the target. That way, the target will be forced into a situation where they have to give him what he wants.

The first sage won’t ask for what he wants. He will move things around to get what he wants. Monarch High Heaven even knows that. But that doesn’t mean he can’t stop it. That is the height of unpredictability. Apparently, the first sage has done it to him recently.

Monarch High Heaven already knew that he must have something to do with the dire situation he was in, which made it easy for the first sage to extort him. Now he knows that it was not a coincidence that made Legion go straight for his main prize and create the opportunity for world gods to interfere on their way out.

Monarch High Heaven thought to himself in anger, “At least I know now that he is trying to become an usurper, and it has something to do with True Chaos. If I have the chance in the future, I should mess with him.”

He is truly incensed. He is so incensed that he is thinking of sabotaging the first sage’s plan by telling Legion his suspicion. It is clear to him now that Legion is important to the first sage’s plans. Telling them might put a cog in the first sage’s plan.

He is truly considering it since Legion is no slop. They are just easy to predict because power and every means to acquire it are what they urgently need right now. They have shown themselves more than capable of scheming when they made a show of rescuing their dragon clone. So he expects that they will become better when they acquire that power.

However he held himself back and didn’t go through with telling them. It is because Legion is his enemy too. He is already giving them the resources they need to become world gods. It will not do to give them the opportunity to acquire a Cosmic source too.

So he thought to himself, “I can only trust myself or the first one. I will sabotage the first sage myself. I was the one who was cheated, so I should be the one to steal his Cosmic source. Not that I need to anyway.”

His heart was burning with an intense flame of anger and revenge. But he didn’t show any of it. He continued amicably to Soverick, “I don’t know about the usefulness of the white core to a demon god or why GREED would tell the Supreme Tyrants to do this.”

He lied because he didn’t want to tell the truth and because he didn’t have to tell the truth. This information is not part of their deal, so he can lie about it.

Legion, on the other hand, were not fooled. Legion doesn’t know exactly what’s going on, but they don’t think that it is a coincidence that GREED convinced the Supreme Tyrants to fuse only for the Tyrants to become an incomplete Universal artifact.
