GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1666: Happy And Anxious.



The realm lord swore, and they made the exchange. He gave them the nine realm hearts, while they gave him the white ephemeral ball. He relaxed as soon as he received the ball. He didn't know that he had been wound up because of it.

His concern was warranted. After all, the white ball is a very important part of his next plans, and there was very little he could do if Legion had refused to make the deal with him.

It would have been a great loss to have GREED lead the Tyrants to their doom only for the final fruits of his labor to be stolen from him. Now that it has returned to its rightful place, he can relax.

Both parties were happy with the exchange. Monarch High Heaven said, "I have to go. I have work to do."

The Tree Father replied, "So do we."

He told them as he left, "No matter what happens in the future, my invitation towards my project still stands. My project will officially begin as soon as I finish becoming a world god. I would like Legion to participate in it."

Soverick didn't say anything in reply and continued to escape. This time, he was more anxious than before. After all, he has not one but nine realm hearts in his possession. In fact, they had to make sure they were not in a simulation right now. The first sage's prank on them has made them suspicious of everything.

Soverick was muttering, "I was right. There was happiness in our future, and it was linked to the black ball of flesh."

Legion-1 made a hypothesis, "I think the realm lord is a part of the darkness that I saw. He seems to be as powerful as world gods even though he is not in the realm tree. It might have something to do with the Authority of the Void Universe in his possession."

"If that is so, then we must participate in his project. As for comprehending the Supreme Law of Order, we will think about it when we can protect ourselves from the Supreme Laws of others. For now, let us make sure we are safe and that the darkness in our future won't surround us."

Legion is both happy and anxious. They are very anxious because this is a good time for someone to show up and snatch their loot from them. Someone like the first sage, for instance. So the clones were transferring the realm hearts between each other every second, and they only held two realm hearts at most at any moment.

This will ensure that even if one of them was frozen and robbed, the thief would only be able to take two realm hearts at most. They combined this with constantly moving. They didn't move about at random. They relied on Soverick's perception of the world to navigate their way.

It turns out that many world gods are searching for them. Soverick can't see them or predict their actions, but he can see the darkness that their massive presence leaves in the present and in his vision of the future. All they have to do is avoid these numerous large spots of darkness.

They are like prey in an ocean, escaping from the large predators roaming the depths of the sea. It is as the realm lord said, they might not be able to predict the actions of powerful entities, but they can surely predict their emotions and reactions to certain actions. So the clones avoided directions that would make them afraid or unhappy in the future.

They were nervous and were running around like fugitives or thieves. But their anxiety didn't stop them from picturing their bright future.

Things are not as straightforward as the calculation they made earlier about their power as world gods, but it is still promising and it is going to be impressive if they achieve it. They just have to sort out some things and iron out some kinks in their plans.

For one, Aeternus and the Tree Father don't have worlds. The Tree Father has something similar to world gods in that he will have a world forge and a divine spark when he becomes a world forge. The problem is that a world forge might not be able to fuse with a will of the realm, so Legion-7 might not be able to combine with him.

Aeternus, on the other hand, is more complicated because world enders only have energy and Supreme Laws. They surely don't work with Wills of the realm. As if that isn't enough to make things difficult for them, Aeternus doesn't have a Supreme Law yet.

The normal evolution process of demon gods won't work for him because he hasn't fused with his mark of sin yet. If they upgrade his mark of sin or demonic spark, it will make Chaos energy more stronger, but it might not help him evolve and it certainly won't help him acquire a world.

The solution they had for him would be to comprehend the law of Chaos and fuse with his demonic spark. Then he can use a world spark to evolve into a world ender. But they are not doing that anymore. Not after their recent battle with the first sage.

In fact, they have the mind not to mess with any Supreme laws anymore. At least, not until they become world gods themselves. So that leaves them without a way to make Aeternus evolve.

This would have been easier to do if they could become world gods separately. They would be able to become world gods one by one and make Legion-7 fuse with each world with ease. Unfortunately, that is not possible because, for one of them to become a world god or world forge, they will have to fuse with their Origin. The clones that are not ready at that point will be erased. That means all the clones will have to advance at the same time if they want to keep all their powers.
