Greed All For What Chapter 833

[ … words ]

Helios knows all of these despite his position far up in the void above the realm tree. He is a star. He is young but he is very big for his age. He hasn’t been a star for more than ten thousand years but he put some older stars to shame. His growth rate hasn’t ended either. It is all because he is not a normal star. He is the super child born of the fusion of order, chaos, divine energy, and origin flames. In a way, he is a superstar.

He is also the child of the Zargoth plane so he remains connected to his plane and is aware of the things occurring within it. He can’t actually see anything going on in the plane. He uses his connection with the will of the plane to get information about the events of the plane. His information is pretty accurate because the will of the plane is very aware of almost everything going on in the plane.

The information that Helios acquired this way has helped the tree father to put down the revolutions efficiently and help Legion maintain control of the plane. But the help that he renders is more than that. His existence has benefited Legion in ways beyond their imaginations.

He became a star and got access to cosmic energy. His unique connection to the law matrix made him know that his cosmic energy comes from a pool or many pools that hold oceans’ worth of cosmic energy. He can’t tell if they are one or many because of his insignificance but he knows that the source of cosmic energy is very large.

There is a lot he doesn’t know about the source of cosmic energy but he can understand why world gods will want it for themselves. Cosmic energy is very useful for many things. He and Legion have begun to explore this usefulness. They couldn’t use Cosmic energy at first but that has changed. That’s just the start. Their ignorance about Cosmic energy will also be solved in time.

Helios gets a supply of what he considers a lot of cosmic energy as a star. It was when he traced the connection of cosmic energy back to its source that he realized he was being naive. His horizon was further broadened when he saw that his immense supply of cosmic energy is but a trickle. It was painful to realize since he had access to such a thing but they couldn’t use it.

They couldn’t use cosmic energy for much even when they got the Authority of the Celestial Supreme from the Zargoth plane. The tree father was able to strengthen the inner world so Legion-1 could eat stronger origin gods but that wasn’t taking them anywhere. That changed when a clone of Legion comprehended a law and invoked the law matrix for the bestowal of cosmic energy.

The universe sought to reward that clone for comprehending a law. So the Will of the universe invoked an intent within the law matrix to bestow this clone with cosmic energy. This intent didn’t only affect the law matrix, it also initiated a change within Helios, and his store of cosmic energy was stimulated.

Cosmic energy flowed out of him without his permission or control through the soul sphere and into every clone. It was searching for the clone that caused the invocation of the universe but it entered every clone in its attempt because they are all connected. That marked the second time that cosmic energy moved for Legion and it led to more significant changes than the increase in the strength of the inner world of a world beast.

The bestowal of cosmic energy from the universe acted normally. It found the clone that comprehended the law directly and helped him form his Authority. The supply of cosmic energy within Helios acted differently. It wasn’t under the direct control of the universe and neither was it under the control of Helios. It was within Helios and therefore connected to every one of Legion. It was stimulated by the invocation so it moved to carry out the action dictated by the Will of the universe and it did so in every clone.

That was the first time that cosmic energy flowed through the connection of the soul sphere and actually did something useful to Legion. What’s odd is that it didn’t return to Helios after it was done. It never stopped flowing out of him and into the others. The invocation kick-started it but didn’t do anything to stop the flow. A connection of cosmic energy then formed between them and it wasn’t cut off even after the universe was done with its bestowal. This is why any being, be it a world god or otherwise, will see cosmic energy in the clones and be blinded by it.

The constant connection made cosmic energy suddenly more malleable to them. Helios’s supply of cosmic energy didn’t get the instruction to be deactivated after the universe stopped its bestowal of cosmic energy. Helios’ cosmic energy was still looking for something to do and it was amicable to change. They still couldn’t control it actively so it did whatever it wanted to do.

The cosmic energy changed Legion-7 the most. It helped him to become who he is today. He went from a recently freed slave into a being that feed on laws. Legion-7’s reaction with cosmic energy shed a lot of light on how it works. Unfortunately, they don’t have what it takes to take advantage of that information.

They couldn’t do more with cosmic energy even though they understood that it needs some sort of instruction for it to be controlled. Something from the universe was capable of directing it and they lacked that thing. That would have been all there is to their use of cosmic energy until that changed too. Some world gods foolishly offered Soverick a good view of their Supreme law. That changed everything.
