Greed: All For What?



GREED actually inflated as it gathered itself for battle. Its green waters began to shimmer and glow ominously.

It was LIES's turn to laugh. It said, "Fine. Fine. I was only joking. You take 60%. I will take 40%."

GREED deflated before saying, "That was not funny at all. You were insulting me."

LIES was indeed insulting the demon god of greed, but it is never going to admit that, so it changed the subject. It asked, "When are you leaving?"

GREED scoffed before replying, "I'm leaving immediately after we are done with this meeting and the looting. I can't wait anymore. I have to earn some merit for sabotaging the realm."

LIES then asked quietly, as if afraid its words would somehow leak to the target of discussion. "What about the god? We just can't leave it be, right?"

GREED considered the question. "That stupid god? It was a waste of time to count on him. His plan to spread his religion didn't work at all."

LIES shrugged, "You can't really blame him. No one expected the demon gods of the other realm to turn the Tyrant realm upside down. He can't spread any religion when the whole realm is infected by demon gods."

GREED insisted, "I want to blame him, so I will. Look at him at peace with himself, just strolling around the abyss as if he were on vacation. He wasted my time, and I feel so bad. But he doesn't feel bad at all that he failed. At least he doesn't show it. One might wonder if I am the one who wants the religion or the god."

LIES suggested, "How about this? Let's both attack him. Whoever kills him will get him. The other will have to work to sabotage the realm."

GREED agreed, "That's a good idea. Let's go now."

So they agreed to fight the god together and get rid of it. This is not a decision that was made in the moment. Both GREED and LIES are prepared to fight the god and then fight each other.

They have made a lot of preparations to ensure their victory. So both are confident in themselves. What's even better is that the god in question came to them immediately after they were done discussing his fate.

The two demon gods thought to themselves, "It is like food falling from the heavens into my waiting mouth."

Then they grinned at each other as if sharing an inside joke. But they also secretly thought, "Then I will get rid of this fool after it has been weakened by the battle."

They may be working together, but only before they try to attack each other. Their terms of cooperation are clear, but there's no way one of them is going to give up on the god, even if they fail to kill it.

GREED greeted the guest enthusiastically and said, "Welcome, my friend."

The Tree Father said to them, "I am amazed you two could show restraint for so long. I expected that one of you would try to attack me earlier, but none of you did."

LIES felt besmirched. "What are you talking about? We would never attack a guest."

GREED joined in too. "What kind of demons do you take us for?"

They said this while moving closer to their target. Both of them had flanked the seemingly ignorant god who dared to show his appetizing body in front of demon gods.

The Tree Father said to them, "It is your good luck that you didn't attack me alone. It is also your bad luck that you waited for me to be sure that there isn't a third demon god here before we make our move."

The two demon gods didn't understand what he was saying, but they understood that something wasn't right when a certain dark being appeared beside the Tree Father.

"Is that a Supreme Tyrant?" LIES asked.

Tyrants have dark skin, hence the question. But they soon realized that this wasn't a Tyrant when they felt its aura. It was not an aura of perfection. It felt more like the aura of a demon, but much worse.

In a weird way, this dark being reminded them of the god of life, but in a dark way. They both don't have a Supreme Law. But one feels harmless while the other is making danger alarms ring within their heads.

The threat was clear to the two demon gods. They didn't waste time at all and attacked. GREED's attack was direct. It struck with a whip of green energy as it moved closer to bound the strange creature. LIES also attacked, but from a distance. It shot what appeared to be bullets of energy at Aeternus.

Aeternus could have avoided the attack. In fact, he could have attacked first. But he waited for them to attack him first. He didn't even need to speak to goad them into attacking him. His mere presence was threatening enough. So they attacked him, which changed their identity from possible allies to enemies.

A mission from Mother High Heaven appeared, instructing him to kill the two demon gods as soon as he was struck by their attacks. Aeternus smiled when he saw it. It was going to be his pleasure to complete the mission.

The two demons had been surprised when their target stood still and let them attack him. Their surprise turned to dread when their attacks sank into his existence and was devoured.

They became certain that they had never seen anything like him when Aeternus attacked. Several bolts of Chaos energy shot at them while several black giant avatars appeared around

Aeternus.

There was no Supreme Law in his attacks. Only the pure power of Chaos. The two demon gods finally realized why they felt so threatened by him. But even then, they couldn't understand what he was because demon gods created from demon kings of kings should have Supreme Laws. It should just be warped, and such demon god eaters should be mad.
