GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1661: Always With The Deals.



Legion-3 said, "Certainly not the first sage. Nothing good will come out of meeting that snake. But there are other options. Should we bring forward our plans for Ghastorix? We might be able to force him to help us."

That idea made them think for a while. They have a plan to track the ancestor of the Ghastorix family's world through Hadrikomania. They want to do that to attack his world.

It is something that is unlikely to work and full of danger, even though they heard that Ghastorix is a weak world god who didn't use a world seed to build his inner world.

"Even if we succeed in finding his world, how do we force him to help us? From what we know, Ghastorix is violent and stubborn. He might not submit even if we threaten him with the world ender."

"And we can't use the world ender because it is gone if we use it once, and we plan to use it against the first sage."

"I don't think it is a good idea to mess with a world god right now. I think it is best if we avoid them."

"But what other choice do we have?"

They were discussing their plans when they sensed something approaching Soverick very quickly. It was hurtling after them at the speed limit of the light side. They were unconcerned because they too were moving at the speed limit of the void universe. Since they are moving at the same speed, they can't be overtaken.

The entity chasing them seemed to have realized that and given up. It disappeared from their senses. So they continued moving forward, unconcerned. But then the entity reappeared closer to them.

"What is going on?"

The entity disappeared again, only to reappear closer to him. It reminded Soverick of how Legion-7 found the high heaven realm from the spiritual dimension when he first escaped from it.

Soverick saw it clearly when it happened next. The entity entered the dark side of the void universe, where they sped up. Then they came up to the light side, closer to them. They seemed to have used the brief moment in the light side to coordinate their direction before plunging back to the dark side to use their speed advantage.

Soverick's scalp tingled. It is because he understood that he would be caught if things continued like this. He can't go faster unless he enters the dark side, but he can't do that on his own. Plus, if he can't move faster than this entity in the dark side, he would be caught much quicker if he entered the dark side.

Fortunately, he is not out of things to do. He teleported to Legion-5. Then Legion-5 sank into the spiritual dimension while he continued to run at maximum speed on the light side.

This series of actions made them lose the pursuer. Soverick couldn't see them chasing anymore.

Helios said to the others, "It must be a Supreme Origin god. I doubt any Origin god, even those who have the six-law concept of space, can teleport like that or enter the dark side so easily."

Soverick confirmed it, "It was a Supreme Origin god, and it is also related to a world god. They have blocked my sight so much I can't identify them."

Legion-1 sighed and said, "Just another one of our future sources of trouble. The first sage really did us in this time around."

Soverick suddenly saw something in their future that made him say, "I think we should meet this person. It is weird, but we will be happy after meeting them."

Legion-7 said, "Now, that sounds like a bad idea."

Aeternus said, "It doesn't matter. We can defeat ten Supreme Origin gods even without using our full power. I'm sure we can take on this one."

Legion-7 insisted, "It is not the Supreme Origin god we should be worried about. It is the world god who sent them and is shielding them that we should be worried about. This could all be bait."

They were discussing what to do when the entity sent a message to him, "Stop for a minute. I just want to talk."

The entity had appeared close to Legion-9. They were so close now that Legion-9! didn't need Soverick's special eyes to identify them. He can see them with his own senses. If not for the fact that he recognized the entity, then he would self-destruct right now. Soverick, who was confident earlier about the meeting, stopped being confident after identifying the entity. He said, "Maybe I was mistaken. We should be prepared for trouble instead."

They decided to meet, but the Tree Father was already gearing up for a fight. He enhanced himself with Helios's divine spark and the world fragment while he waited.

The realm lord appeared in front of him soon enough. "Nice going there, Legion. You have ruined a lot of my plans."

Legion-9 asked, "What plans?"

"You don't know them."

"If I don't know them, then that means my offense was unintentional. That means I didn't betray the realm, and you can't do anything to me."

The realm lord sneered at him and said, "I am not here to ask you to make up for what you did. You don't have to be so on edge. I have a deal for you."

Legion-9 was not surprised. He said, "I thought as much. You only come to us when you have a deal."

The only times they have met the realm lord always involved some sort of deal or offer. So what the realm lord said didn't surprise them. Soverick was already trying to figure out what the realm lord might want this time around. This led the Tree Father to say, "Let us guess. You don't want our power because you are not lacking in it. But we have a lot of things other than our strengths that might interest you, the latest being the white ball we just acquired. You didn't approach us until we acquired it, so I'm guessing you are here for the white ball. This means it must be very valuable and important."
