Greed: All For What?



Legion-1 agreed. "We should do that. At the very least, we should not let the curse go to waste. Now that the Supreme Alliance is down, they won't be able to support the Origin gods in capturing us anymore. These bands of chaotic and selfish immortals should fall apart soon."

They were a little intimidated by the series of events that just happened, but they were not so confused as to lose sight of their major objective. In the first place, trying to fight world gods as Origin gods is a losing battle.

They are not the realm lord. The best they can do currently is avoid that fight, or even the playing field if they can't avoid it. They decided to avoid the fight for now, so Legion-7 resurrected Soverick and two other clones to return to the realm of high heaven.

Things were as expected. The Supreme Alliance had become too busy to keep track of him. Something about a powerful curse trying to wipe out their entire race kept them preoccupied. As for the other Origin gods, they were also less interested in fighting him. This is because when he died, all the damage that had been done to the realm in their fight was paid for by a deduction in their contribution points.

The cost of damage was in the millions, but each Origin god did not lose more than a single point. Even so, it discouraged the Origin gods because not only have they not gained anything in the fight, they have lost energy, resources, and contributions that they haven't earned.

What sealed the deal was that the device to capture Legion stopped working. So they disbanded and moved on.

No one was in the mood to besiege them anymore. It is a good thing for them because Legion had already decided to commit a lot of destruction if they are besieged.

--AETERNUS.

He is the only one who has not been attacked or whose information is not known by everyone. It would have had a smaller impact on him had his information been known too. It is mostly because the abyss is not a welcoming place.

The Origin gods that come to hunt him will be attacked by the whole abyss. Even if the other demons don't help him, the hunt wouldn't have mattered much to him because he could kill as many as they came with Chaos energy without worrying about punishment from Mother High Heaven.

So it is their luck that they don't know about the demon clone of Legion. However, the absence of attacks on his person has been good so far. It has granted him the peace to move without disturbance.

He hasn't been able to do much, but that peace will come in handy when he needs it. Currently, he and the other demons are preparing to storm the Tyrant Realm.

The divine planes of the High Heaven Realm have fused into one large sphere surrounding the realm. The position of the abyss hasn't changed because of it. It is still below the ancient battlefield for anyone looking for it. But now the divine plane has extended all the way to the first abyssal plane after surrounding the realm. They can see the white sphere from the first abyssal plane.

The divine planes used to have an edge through which demons invaded. That edge was called Armageddon. Now that the divine planes have fused into one large sphere, their Armageddon has fused into a hole in the sphere.

This hole is above the first layer of the abyss. It is also present in the Tyrant Realm. When the two realms complete their alignment, the two holes will become one. This means anyone can access either of the two realms through them.

The hole is called a realm rift. It is the largest tunnel between the two realms, but it is currently sealed.

If the hole is opened, it will form the largest battlefield between the two realms. The tussle of dungeons will be nothing compared to the meat grinding that will ensue as trillions try to pour into each realm and are repelled at the same time.

All the demon lords and demon kings that intend to attack from the abyss have formed an army on the first abyssal plane. Even demon gods have joined them.

They are the abyssal coalition army. It contains most, if not all, of the most powerful beings in the abyss. The weakest beings here are high-rank demons.

Almost every demon god of the abyss are here. Only two demon gods are absent. One is GREED, the traitor of the realm, while the other is CARNAGE, whom no one has seen for quite a while.

The demons know why GREED is absent, and they think they know why CARNAGE is absent. WRATH claims that CARNAGE has become a world-ender and has had to leave the realm because of it. The other demon gods believe what WRATH said. Even Aeternus believes it to be true.

Aeternus is in the first abyssal plane too. He is surrounded by other demon gods, but he is not afraid. They may be afraid of him, but he is not attacking them anymore.

They are also not trying to attack him either. It is mostly not because they don't want to. It is because they can't. They are part of the abyssal coalition now, and it is the era of conquest, so they are not allowed to sabotage each other. There will be grave consequences if they do.

Besides, attacking him is unlikely to succeed. It is something that they have done several times in the past and have failed terribly each time, with grave consequences. To attack him now will only double the graveness of the consequences.

What they learned from their numerous failures is that it is impossible to threaten him unless they are willing to sacrifice a massive amount of energy at once to attack him. Even then, he can still escape from them because of the maximum speed allowed on the light side.
