GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Legion-7 muttered, "CARNAGE is truly ungrateful. We helped it to become a world-ender without the need to expand its capacity for power and absorb the marks of sin of other demons of Carnage. It became a world ender very quickly and quite easily too but it is sending Vampires from every plane it has invaded at us."

The tree father chuckled, "I don't blame Carnage. We too would be very angry after everything that has happened."

"I don't think so. I think it is just fair for it to pay us back for the use of a world spark and the cosmic energy within it with its servitude. So what if it has to suffer a cycle of destruction for at least the next 10 Origin cycles?"

"It doesn't matter if we are at fault here. We still need to handle the threat of the Vampires since we can't hide from them."

"We'll just run away. They can't fight us if they can't catch up to us. We will get back to them when we can eliminate them in one fell swoop."

They discussed the threat of the Vampires as if tens of thousands of Primogenitors were not rushing towards them right now. They haven't become stronger after making the world engine work, they still need to use it to build the world fragment, but they are not scared of some Primogenitors. Not after they have trapped a world-ender and used it as kindling in their Kickstarter. 

They have messed with powers that are supposed to be way out of their league. As it is, there is a higher chance of CARNAGE killing them than some vampires succeeding in killing them. The Kickstarter they have created can become a terrifying bomb if it explodes. The hatred of Vampires is the least of their concern. 

So they moved on to their next plans. 

Legion-1 stated, "Let Ragnarok rest and become an Origin god as soon as possible. He and every one of you will be of better use to me as Origin gods. We will be able to complete the first phase of unification then." 

He also added to their agenda, "As for now, I can take care of the vampires myself. It will be easier if you help me to construct my second concept. I need to start working on my Supreme law but I can't do so until I have an Origin divine ability for my core."

Soverick nodded in agreement. "That sounds like a good plan. The Vampires might be stronger than usual now that their Supreme is a world-nder. Also, CARNAGE might be able to descend into one of them. We are not certain of what a World ender is capable of."

Aeternus chuckled, "I guess this is our chance to find out."

Soverick shook his head. "I'd rather not find out. At least not with personal experience. We might end in a situation worse than Ragnarok's when the demon god latched onto him."

The tree father ended the discussion. "We can only do what we can do and right now, it starts with a second concept for Legion-1."

Legion-7 said excitedly, "Let's make a concept. It is time to see what this perpetual engine is."

Soverick corrected, "You mean pseudo-perpetual engine. It is not a complete perpetual engine yet. It is just a prototype. And it is one that is rife with many faults."

The tree father rolled his eyes and said as they got to work, "Yes, we know it is just a prototype. It is not a completely independent system yet. We are using the backlash from the law matrix of the void universe initiated by tampering with the cosmic forces of time and space to grind down two immortal entities and take advantage of their immortality and energy from the void universe to produce power to kickstart our world engine. We know it is not perfect. But perpetual engine sounds better than the pseudo-perpetual engine you want to call it."

Soverick insisted. "It is far from perfect. It is climbing uphill a mountain of debt in backlash. The world engine is getting more and power but it can't do so forever. The sorry world ender and the law of order of the sage are paying the debt now but we will have to pay for it when we try to replace the Kickstarter with our own supreme law."

*Besides its fault, its foundation is based on the first sage not being suicidal. If the first sage decides to go down and take us out with it, then we might have a lot of problems on our hands."

What he said is true. The Kickstarter is working well but it won't be like so for long. The major reason why is it working in the first place is that it was able to break down the world ender and supreme law for power through their antagonistic reaction. That power was more than enough for the world engine to start and also power the Kickstarter. 

Of course, the world engine used void energy and cosmic energy from the void universe to supplement itself so it is not an independent system that doesn't need an external supply of energy and assistance. But what's worse is that they don't have control over the engine anymore. It has started and can't be stopped, not unless they want to break it. 

Each cycle of the Kickstarter produces more power than it needs to keep the world engine running. That means the extra power is used to warp space and time within the Kickstarter because they don't have any control over it anymore. 

As more and more cycles occur, more and more power is available and used to warp space and time. The deviation of space and time increases rapidly leading to more negative space and time coefficient debt. 

All of that debt will have to be paid when the Kickstarter is stopped. So when they try to replace the Kickstarter with their supreme laws in order to acquire control over it and the world engine, they will have two very mad powerful entities and a massive debt to pay back to the void universe on their hands. 

This scenario is the best-case scenario. The Kickstarter can become faulty before they are ready to replace it with a supreme law. One of the reasons it can become faulty is if the first sage decides to destroy it from within.
