GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Mihila couldn't get life essence for Kayla because it is very valuable and rare to encounter. The problem is that the supply is limited while the demand is nearly unlimited. Everyone wants life essence but they can't have it.

Even Sovereigns of law need life essence for the tribulation to become Origin gods. So how can a weak mana entity with the help of a titan of law get it? However, he can get as much as he wants as a Supreme beast. Access to Life essence is his birthright. He doesn't have to kill or pay for it. He just has to place the order and it will be brought to him.

The ease by which he could get something like that made him shake his head in wonder. "They must have life trees planted somewhere. It is the only way that they can match high elves in the amount of life essence they can provide."

This is not the first time he has gained access to as much Life essence as he wants. Gehaldirah also never lacked in life essence. He even took a bottle of Life essence away while other Sovereigns of law were looking around for a drop of it.

It was Life essence that he drank to solidify his soul when he separated it from his body. That was a very important factor in the success of his endeavor of reincarnating.

His access to a lot of life essence was because high elves had life trees all over their plane. So Supreme beasts must also have some life trees planted somewhere. The alternative is that they are stealing it from the high elves but Gehaldirah was not aware of that as a high elf and even stealing might not be enough to provide for such an abundance of Life essence.

Legion-5 doesn't need life essence to become a transcendent. He can break through on his own. Even if he can't, he has the help of the tree father. But the opportunity to get as much life essence as he wants is still very important because he can use life essence to become stronger.

He might be limited in his freedom currently but he will ensure anything as long as he is getting stronger and the goal of perfection is not infringed upon. He might not like the fact that he has to stay somewhere but he has to admit that his situation is undoubtedly better than most clones.

Helios couldn't move around however he wanted and yet he made it work. It is not as if he would move around right now even if his freedom were not limited. Legion is not a busy body and they never get distracted about their true goal. He won't move around when he has all he needs to get stronger delivered to him.

Soverick had freedom but he didn't move around the Virut plane for sightseeing. He focused on training himself and growing stronger. The four-eyed battle sage monkey freak is doing just that currently. He is the child of the plane but he is not courting death by moving around the plane. Instead, he locked himself up in his forge and focused on learning how to forge.

Even Ragnarok would have been content with staying still. All Ragnarok wanted to do was to raise a pack like a farm and harvest them occasionally to grow silently. If not for his troublesome father, he would have had his wish.

Legion-5 on the other hand doesn't need to struggle so much. He can live in luxury while growing stronger. He doesn't need to hunt for powerful creatures like Aeternus to grow stronger. His ancestors, the Supreme Alliance, have prepared everything he needs to break through and the other clones of Legion have prepared all the skills and laws that he needs after he transcends.

All he needs to do is try and fix the weaknesses of Legion. That's what he was reincarnated for. His ability to use many divine abilities is to be used to enhance the other Legions and fix any of their shortcomings.

So he ordered for Life Essence at the earliest chance he got. Then he moved around his house and did whatever he wanted until life essence was delivered to him. It came in a bottle containing 50 centiliters of life essence. That is more than 1,000 drops of life essence.

The bottle contained a white and viscous liquid that can be mistaken for milky phlegm. But unlike phlegm, this liquid is valuable. Each drop of it is enough to guarantee the success of a breakthrough to transcendence and a few drops is enough for a Sovereign to survive the tribulation to become an Origin god.

"Sovereigns literally kill themselves for this." He said in admiration, "I truly cannot complain."

He had and still has some reservations about the wealth and power of the Supreme Alliance. They are very strong and have been restricting his freedom. He is not naive enough to think that everything is alright because they are giving him nice things. He knows that nothing is truly free.

Unfortunately, he can't beat them. That is not a surprise since even the realm lord has failed to do so. Still, he is not without recourse. He is a Supreme beast so he can go along for the ride. It is as they say if you can't beat them, join them.

He is willing to join them wholeheartedly to enjoy their wealth. The alternative is to go against an entity that is capable of giving their descendants so much life essence under the nose of the realm lord. He is smart so he has decided to work with the Supreme Alliance for now.

He is not cowered or willing to bow to the supreme alliance but he won't go out of his way to antagonize them. He won't try to break their rules or escape from the plane. If there is a way for him to remain in the good graces of the supreme alliance then he will do so.
