GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1651  Go Big Or Go Hide.

They all turned to Soverick for his opinion. He, in turn, looked into the future and the past to determine their options. What he saw was not encouraging.

He sighed and said, "We are going to win the realm war, and it will happen very soon, so we are running out of time to contribute. I see no deaths in our future if we take things lightly, but that won't get us enough contribution points. If we go all out, I see some darkness in the fate of some clones, so there will be danger."

"But I also see a chance at a favorable future for us if we go all out. I can't tell what that future is apart from the fact that we are happy in it. The way to that future is in the Tyrant Realm."

What he saw gave them enough information to know exactly what they had to do. Legion-1 chuckled and said, "The Tyrant realm eh? There's only one thing in the Tyrant realm right now. So what we have to do is clear."

Legion-9 didn't like it, and he said as much. "If we do it, then the first sage will know everything about us."

Legion-2 offered another solution. "We could also give up on this and hide in the spiritual dimension. We could hide for however long it will take us to create our Supreme Laws. Then we can use what we have left together with CARNAGE to kill a world god or the first sage."

Legion-7 said what they were all thinking, "A world god is a tall order. We don't know if our plan will work on them. That's even if we can find one. The only world god we have a lead on is Ghastorix. If we can't find him, then we are stuck with the first sage. It goes without saying that even if the first sage doesn't know everything we are hiding, he already knows half of it, so our plan that was uncertain before will become less effective on him."

Legion-2 nodded and said, "That's why it is of little consequence if the first sage finds out about the other half. We can trade that knowledge for something good in the era of conquest to secure our future, or we can secure our future by hiding away."

Legion-1 didn't agree. He said, "Nothing is of little consequence when it involves the first sage. We must not overlook anything. Be that as it may, the choice is to either hide and fight the first sage in the future or expose our last secret to secure the future and then hide."

Aeternus said, "We don't really have a choice about it. We don't know what the first sage is capable of. We don't know what he can do to us. We can hide, but that will not help us for long. The best thing to do is to move forward, change, and grow stronger. We have to go all out."

Aeternus doesn't advise caution. It is not really his thing, so what he just said was to be expected. Even so, it resounded with all of them.

The truth of the matter is that they have been had by the first sage, and they have been had thoroughly. They don't even know how to plan for the worst anymore because they know what the first sage plans for them. So the opportunity to grow stronger, despite being risky to them, feels like the best chance to turn things around. They didn't let Aeternus's optimism blind them to the dangers they would encounter, and they didn't let Soverick's vision make them too confident. What Soverick saw about the darkness in their future is already bad. It could be worse because they don't know what that darkness will be. The darkness usually means death, but it could also mean an encounter with an entity that Soverick can't see. Those are the things they will encounter if they choose to go all out. At that point, death might not be able to save them. So they decided to plan for that, just as they decided to bring out all their might.

They decided to make sure that they could always die when they needed it, and they decided to use the very thing that they had been hiding from the first sage. It is their only chance of securing that pleasant future.

With their minds made up and their destinations set, they began moving into action.

The Tree Father became the focus of their preparation. Their plan relies heavily on him. They will be using the ability of his spark of power to manipulate power to gain an advantage in the final stretch of the era of conquest.

The abilities of the spark of power are somewhat similar to those of the crown of domination. It is why the three consciousnesses said he wouldn't need it, but they still gave it to him because of the rules. It is just like one of the abilities of Legion-7 being similar to the function of the soul sphere. This ability of the Tree Father can combine two sources of Supreme power and use them together. It is how Legion was able to gain an advantage over the millions of Origin gods that besieged them.

Other Supreme Origin gods could only use one Supreme Power. They can't combine their Supreme Law with the power of a world fragment. But Legion can. Not only that, Legion-9 can control all forms of power and make them compatible with each other for utilization. However, Legion needs more than that if they are to make a bigger impact. This is why they are going to involve Legion-5's inner world, Helios' dragon heart, and Aeternus Chaos energy. This is going to stress the Tree Father, so they are aligning the world fragment to focus on him and help him bear the stress of what is going to be their attempt at the third stage of unity.
