GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

He is inclined to believe that Legion failed because he doesn't see how they could have succeeded with the creation of a world-ender. But he knows that he is making that assumption based on ignorance and he doesn't like to be ignorant. 

"I don't like this." He said to himself. "I don't like it at all. I was happy when he took the attention of the WATCHERS away from me but this has gone too far. It is like making a bomb within myself. It can only have bad endings."

Then he asked, "Where is Ragnarok right now?" 

He can't find CARNAGE anymore but he is certain that Ragnarok has something to do with its disappearance so he wants to find Ragnarok.

The system replied. 

-HIS TRACK WAS LOST WHEN HE BROKE FREE FROM THE DEMON GOD.

"Really?" The realm lord asked. "This happened even though he had his monitoring service still attached to him."

-HIS POSITION OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT HIM APART FROM WHAT WAS IN THE MONITORING SERVICE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.

-BUT THE WILL OF THE REALM COULD KEEP TRACK OF HIM.

-SO DATA FROM THE REALM HEART WAS USED TO FILL IN THE GAPS IN THE MONITORING SYSTEM.

Apparently, Ragnarok has blocked the monitoring service of the stat system attached to him. However, he could still be tracked because he was in the realm. But, Monarch high heaven was not relieved. He became unsettled at the news that not only was Ragnarok able to detach himself from the demon god without being an origin god, he was also able to detach himself from his monitoring service. 

Even the data about his stats couldn't be acquired. His location couldn't be determined and he would have remained hidden from the realm lord if not for the fact that he was in the realm and nothing in the realm could hide from the realm lord. 

He demanded, "Show me the logs." 

He didn't bother to blame the system for not notifying him of such an important event because many such events are occurring everywhere at every point in time and he couldn't keep track of them all. Especially not when he is busy with his project. 

It is not as if he could have changed anything even if he were aware of it when it happened. He is limited by what he can do as a realm lord. So he focused on reviewing the logs to see if he could figure out the reason for Ragnarok going incognito. 

"This happened at the exact moment that Helios became a star and when Soverick gazed upon me."

"It happened quietly so I didn't pay attention to it. It was also hidden because I could still get information from him not just from the monitoring service."

"If I didn't know any better, I would say that it was planned. But I know better. Even so, this can't be simple. The clones exhibited bizarre and unexplainable displays of strength at the same point in time after breaking a law of the universe. I am smart enough to realize that this has to be all related." He muttered. 

His system is different from the Will of the realm. It doesn't have as much Authority as Mother Heaven, but it is more helpful. He can use his system to snoop and monitor Mother High Heaven so he is very surprised that Ragnarok could escape the monitoring. 

When coupled with the strange behavior of the clones of Legion which started at the same time, he is certain that something very important is going on with Legion. 

-IT IS SUSPECTED THAT HE MIGHT HAVE POWER OVER ONE OF THE COSMIC FORCES.

That made the realm lord laugh. 

"I agree that the way he destroyed the plane is suspicious. His devouring power is too powerful, but that doesn't equate to having access, much less power over any of the Cosmic forces."

-A SPIKE IN THE FLUCTUATIONS OF COSMIC FORCES WAS NOTICED WHEN HIS DEVOURING ABILITY STARTED.

-ANOTHER SPIKE IN THE FLUCTUATIONS OF COSMIC FORCES WAS NOTICED WHEN SOVERICK GAZED UPON THE TOWER OF HEAVEN.

-DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER EXPLAINATIONS FOR THESE PHENOMENONS?

He replied, "I do not know. But it doesn't matter now. He is just a small fish in the big ocean. He is remarkable. But he is small. He has the potential to become great. In the meantime, I will become a world god and I have the information I need. I will surely know what is going on then."

That's what he has been looking forward to. He wants to awaken his sleeping ENGRAM and connect to all of his previous incarnations including the very first one. The first version of himself was the strongest. He was the one who created the system. 

The consciousness of the first one is so powerful that he can't handle it right now as an Origin god. He has to become a world god with a truly remarkable world to bear the burden. 

That's why he had to become realm lord despite the shackles that come with the position. It is only by becoming a realm lord can he make the most powerful world as a world god. 

Unfortunately, he can't go and kill Legion now because of those shackles. But everything should work out when he finally becomes a world god after the end of the era of conquest. Then he will see if the sacrifices he has made were worth it. 

"It will be worth it," he said with determination. 

-YES IT WILL BE.

-THE PATH OF SUPREMACY WILL BE FOUND.

He nodded. He is sure that it will be worth it for him to suffer restrictions on his freedom such that he is not able to nab a being weaker than him and dig out all its secrets. He has to stand by and watch without being able to act. 

It is like being a shepherd for someone else's flock. He can't harm the flock in any way despite everything he is doing to cater for them. Of course, he is being paid handsomely for his work but nothing can be good enough when you can't do what you want to do anytime you want to do it.
