GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The thick crystalline pillars on his back are like mountains on the back of mountain shifting tortoise except that they are more in number and vary in length. Their appearance makes it more accurate to call them lodestones rather than mountains. The 9 of them account for most of his weight. 

They were previously unseen before Ragnarok began to engorge himself on the world. But they began to glow an eerie blue glow as they stored the energy he devoured within himself. They shined brightly in contrast to the darkness around his 10 tails. 

The light he is producing does not feel one with hope as Rinoz's did. He doesn't look like the hope of the plane at all. There is a dark whirlpool around him while he is the light at the eye of the whirlpool. No one mistook him for salvation. Instead, He looks like the herald of the end of the world. 

"This is new." He thought to himself as he watched the Carnage that he wrought.

The world is screaming because of him. Even he is surprised by the power of his concept. He knew instinctively what his new tails could do after his breakthrough and evolution. After all, they are organs that he and the other clones designed themselves. 

It was just an image when he was a king of law. Now they are part of his body and part of his soul. So he knew what to expect when he activated his concept. What he didn't expect is how powerful it is. 

It is certainly more than his expectation. And it is all because of the shard of power rotating around him. He used to ignore it most times because of its uselessness. But the shard of power has become far too useful now. 

The shard has taken a liking to his concept. He can see that his tails have gripped the law matrix tightly and have pulled on it. They also wanted to puncture the world of manifestation down to the law matrix below but he stopped them. It is taking everything within him not to damage the law matrix. That will put him in a lot of trouble. 

There is a difference between destroying the material world and destroying the underlying fabric of the plane. One will be ignored by the will of the realm as long as he is an inhabit of the realm. The other will receive swift retribution from Mother High Heaven regardless of his position as an inhabitant of the plane. 

Mother high heaven will ignore him even if the plane is going to be destroyed. As long as he is not an Origin god, she will leave him to be punished by the will of the plane and the other inhabitants of the plane. 

On the other hand, destroying the underlying fabric of the plane will draw the ire of Mother High Heaven. That's why he decided not to become an Origin god. It is also why he dialed back his divine ability and decided to remain content with causing the very fabric of reality to bend to his will instead of letting the shard of power get him into trouble. 

He didn't harm the law matrix. But he made it make the world of manifestation twist and contort to his will. Even gravity itself was affected as the world was pulled into his tails. The once stable space now convulsed, forming an expanding funnel that drew everything towards his ten tails.

With an irresistible force, the surroundings were caught in the swirling tempest of this spatial tunnel. Stones once grounded firmly, were wrenched from their resting places, soaring through the air in a mesmerizing dance of chaos. 

Sand and trees were torn from the earth's embrace, uprooted, and thrust into the relentless vortex. Even the very essence of mana, that ethereal life force, found itself ensnared, succumbing to the overwhelming pull.

In an overwhelming display of might, nothing was spared from the devouring power of his tails. His tails can't be seen now. They seem blanketed by darkness. They are the source of this darkness. Everything they pulled disappeared into this darkness. Trees, majestic guardians of the land, vanished into this darkness without a trace. 

Ragnarok felt pleased with him despite the screaming and howling of the world. It might as well be music to his ears because he is happy. He is happy about the enhancement of his concept by the shard of power. It has given him something to look forward to about the creation of their world fragment. 

The shard of power hasn't helped him since he broke away from the demon god. If it has helped him since then, then he hasn't noticed. But then it came into effect once he activated the concept of The Bottomless Abyss. 

His concept is supposed to create a bottomless abyss but he is not powerful enough to create it. The shard of power is willing to give him this power. It wants to rip a hole through the plane down and down to create a true bottomless abyss. 

This is a strong proof of the power that the shards of power can grant Legion. As long as they have something on the level of a supreme law, they might be able to harness the potential of the Shards of power. 

He said to himself as he looked around, "I should enjoy this now while it lasts. I may not have the chance to anymore considering the danger of the plan."

He decided to enjoy the destruction he was causing. It is a wonderful sight too. At least he thinks so. The plane itself seemed to tremble as the very ground became a battlefield between the relentless effort of his tails of darkness and the resistance of the world of manifestation. 

But others don't think it is a wonderful sight. In the face of this epic and overwhelming display of power, the very foundation of reality trembled, leaving those who bore witness to this cataclysmic event shaking in fear. 

Even the Will of the plane and the demon god both cried out in dismay. They are dismayed for different reasons but everyone felt the end of the world coming and they felt fear.
