Greed: All For What?



So even if they are willing to sacrifice all of their energy to kill Aeternus, they have a limit on their speed. He has that same speed, and for some strange, unknown reason, he never runs out of energy.

So they can't even overcome him with perseverance. They have always been the ones to run out of energy whenever they chase him. Meanwhile, he always gets stronger after each battle.

All of these have made them fail to kill him several times, but their numerous attempts have only enabled him to grow stronger. This has further increased the threshold of energy they need to sacrifice to threaten him. Not that that matters anymore.

All of their failures are why he has grown to reach a height of 10 kilometers. He is actually bigger than this. He is ten times bigger than this, to be exact. But he can shrink himself, unlike other demon gods.

Being 10 kilometers tall is the normal height of demon kings, and 100 kilometers still can't compare to the plane-wide size of most demon gods, so he is still very small compared to other demon gods, but that's only in terms of height.

The aura of corruption around him has grown larger and stronger. It makes any demon, including demon gods who look at him, feel existential dread. This innate intimidation makes up for his short height.

The aura of corruption is so thick that all anyone can see through the domain of inky blackness around him are his four bright golden eyes, his six golden horns, and the single white halo on his head.

They fear him so much that he is standing alone in the air above the first abyssal plane. No other demon god wants to be close to him. But that might not be because of fear. It could be because of the immense hatred they have for him.

Either way, Aeternus felt content. He continued to look at the black circular realm rift in the sky without a care in the world.

He feels he doesn't have anything to be afraid of in the abyss because his strength has been fully acknowledged. After all, it is the most important reason why he is not being attacked, despite the angry looks that PRIDE and LUST are giving him.

The second reason is that the era of conquest has started, and as members of the Abyssal Coalition, attacking each other is considered sabotaging the realm of high heaven. So they will be reducing their contribution if they attack him now.

This second reason is also why he is not attacking them. So not only doesn't he have anything to fear, he is hoping that someone will make a move on him and grant him the excuse he needs to eat them.

Unfortunately, it seems he is not going to get his way. PRIDE and LUST, who joined in ambushing him several times in the past, are only watching him now. Even the other demon gods who have learned that this is his main and only body and that killing him might grant them access to true Chaos aren't trying to kill him anymore.

At most, they will glance at him. What most of them are doing is focusing on the large black hole in the sky of the abyss. Just like him, they are waiting for it to open. Then they will rush into the Tyrant Realm.

The Will of the realm has told them what will happen when the two realms fuse. It is enough for them to paint a picture of what to expect. And what a terrific picture they are painting in their minds.

Demons are all for invasions on a normal day. But this time, their usual planar invasion has been elevated into a realm war. They will have a whole new realm full of new things to pillage and destroy. It is making their molten blood boil with excitement just thinking about it.

This is an excitement felt by every demon, from the weakest high-rank demon to the demon gods.

It made Aeternus think to himself as he waited, "It is a good thing that the demons of the abyss have something to look forward to in this era of conquest."

He can see the possible future, so he knows that if the demons had not formed the abyssal coalition, they would not be standing here waiting for the two realms to align. Instead, they will be planning to flood the divine plane of the High Heaven Realm and attack the Origin gods arrayed there, waiting for the realms to fuse. Or they will wait for the realms to fuse before they attack the Origin gods with the invaders.

Fortunately, due to luck or most likely due to careful planning on the part of the realm lord, most demons are part of the abyssal coalition, so they don't plan to sabotage the High Heaven Realm as a whole.

Any demon who intends to sabotage the High Heaven Realm is most definitely a loner in that aspect. The rest have been waiting patiently for months now for the two realms to align.

"What is taking so long?" WRATH asked for the 11393rd time.

ENVY said angrily, "Will you shut up?"

WRATH replied, "I will not."

ENVY pointed out, "I was not asking."

WRATH disagreed, "It sounded to me like you were. In fact, it sounded to me like you were begging me to shut up."

ENVY sneered, "Is that right? Well, it sounds to me that you are begging for a beating right

now."

WRATH chuckled, "If not for the era of conquest, I would be beating on you right now. You would wish you were batter, so that you wouldn't feel pain as I beat you."

ENVY threatened in return, "You are the lucky one. If not for the era of conquest, you would be begging me right now to stop fucking you. And trust me, I would fuck you so hard that all demons of wrath in the abyss will feel it."

WRATH countered, "Jokes on you. I'm immune to fucking."

A/N: What can I say? Demons are the kings of trash talk. You wish you were as good as them.
