GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1635: Bait For Bait.



The world fragment was built so well that even though it didn't have a Supreme Law, it managed to survive the backlash that killed all of Legion.

However, it won't get its due peace yet because it has something belonging to the first sage within it. It is what the first sage came for after Legion went to sleep.

The large white eye, containing a single large pupil made of many rings, appeared around the floating world fragment. The first sage examined it intently, looking for a way to disassemble it and remove his world fragment.

Now that Legion is not here, no one can stop him from doing whatever he wants to do to their world fragment. He can break it or even steal it.

He chuckled and said, "They are not bad. They set a bait and trap for me before they died. But if they think this will work, then they must have underestimated me."

The eye took another look around the remnant. He can see that Legion-1 is still alive because of it. But he didn't go on to destroy the remnant.

He muttered to himself, "If they have not underestimated me, then this should be a warning to me. They have displayed their resolve to go to the extreme. If I destroy the remnant, then CARNAGE will become loose."

He snorted. "They are not bad. They are not bad, indeed. But they are a lot lacking compared to a world god. Didn't they fall into my trap at the end of the day?"

He just chuckled. Then he sank back beneath the law matrix and left.

He didn't touch the world fragment at all. Doing so will undoubtedly deal a great blow to Legion. They will lose a large part of their strength. They will lose all the time, resources, and effort they put into building it.

But in order to make them experience that loss, he will also have to start an eternal fight with a world ender. That is not something he wants to do. At least not right now. He needs Legion to release CARNAGE on their own. That way, he can have the best of both worlds.

He doesn't like Legion, but it is at times like this that he has to respect them. They know that they will be implicated if he decides to destroy their world fragment, but that didn't stop them from using it to hold his Supreme Law at gunpoint. Or, in this case, at the end of a world ender.

This is what made him chuckle. Both their determination and their ignorance of his full capabilities made them amusing to him. But even though he is confident in himself, he didn't take their bait.

He doesn't need to test their bottom line after the massive victory he just won. He has gotten a lot of information about them, and he has also become fully aware of their contingency plan against him. This has made his future plans almost foolproof.

This estimate is despite planning for failure. If Legion thinks they are the best at planning, then they haven't met him. For example, he let them kill themselves.

It is true that he couldn't have stopped them from killing themselves, but rather than make things difficult for them, he would rather use their deaths to his advantage.

His plan started way before he found out Soverick was Legion. At that point, he had gone to invite Soverick to the unified skill index. He had used his Supreme Law as bait to make Soverick participate.

Soverick had just awakened his eye's capabilities to see laws back then, so the boy was confident in himself. He only planned to use his Supreme Law to help Soverick build his concept. But as things have turned out, his Supreme Law was bait in more ways than one. Just the thought of it made the first sage laugh. "It is just a tiny hook, and they fell so far." The illusion trap and the subsequent struggle that ensued between him and them were just a small episode in the first sage's grand scheme. It is like a prediction battle between two people with ocular divine abilities. He has made the first move since the Unified Skill Index. Legion is just reacting to it now, and they died to escape from his clutches. What about his other plans for them? What will they do when those plans unfold when they are already so desperate?

The first sage sneered and said, "They have underestimated me too much. But it is not their fault. What else can they do against me? Is it their contingency plan? Don't I know it now?"

It is one thing to underestimate world gods in general, but it is a sin to underestimate him. Even world gods don't dare underestimate him.

As a world god that sees the river of fate, his eyesight go far beyond what others can imagine. Rather than wait for Legion to do things at their leisure, he will force them to do things at his own pace. Once they move at the pace he sets for them, they will never walk out of his numerous traps.

The First Sage didn't stay idle after he left. He made Legion-5's information known to all of the High Heaven realm. This was even before the Supreme Alliance could come after Legion and do such a thing.

What happened in the illusion were events that were supposed to happen in the real world based on the First Sage's prediction and knowledge of the future. So the Supreme Alliance still has a bone to pick with Legion and they have plans to act against them.

In the current timeline, the Supreme Alliance is still looking for Legion. They hadn't found Legion, so they didn't have the chance to offer any deals or threaten Legion. But all of a sudden, information about Legion flooded the virtual network. Practically everyone who saw it was surprised and curious.
