GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The floor and the ceiling of the room lit up. The floor showed the topographical map of the whole plane while the ceiling depicted the divine kingdoms of the gods. A platform appeared at the center of the room beneath the black flame. Clouds formed in between the floor and the ceiling. Little people appeared on the ground on the map and so did the kingdoms they occupied. The assembly hall became a life-like depiction of the whole plane.

"This is the real-time representation of the plane. It is updated with real-time information from the surveillance system of the Supreme Alliance. You should take the rite of passage seriously but do not take it as a dangerous matter. This whole plane is your playground."

"The important and powerful entities in the plane including the gods of the plane have been informed of your mission. They have been promised citizenship if they participate in this rite of passage and survive. That's the only reason why this plane has not been completely purged of resistance."

"As I said earlier, your job is to spread the influence of the Supreme Alliance. That means you must make the people know where they are in the order of things. You will spread the citizenship system and the resource exploitation system. You can do this by force or through other means of coercion."

"Your activities and actions will be monitored and recorded. You will be rewarded with points when you do something commendable. I am sending a list of what the commendable goals are. If you go through them, you will notice that they are ranked. The high-ranked missions reward higher points. You need points to exchange for rewards."

A holographic panel appeared before Legion-5. It contained the list of missions. Legion-5 went through the mission list.

The lowest mission is the subjugation and reclamation missions. It is the normal mission that everyone can do. It entails defeating all the resistance forces in the plane and taking over every nation within it quickly.

The other missions are offshoots of the subjugation mission. One of them is the resource exploitation system which is the system by which the Supreme Alliance mines or harvests both animate and inanimate resources. Sustainable livestock production falls under animate resource exploitation. It is also called slavery by less civilized races.

He looked at the highest ranked missions and he couldn't help but shake his head in pity for the inhabitants of the plane.

"This really is a playground for us. No wonder Tanc830,428,723C didn't kill the Celestial Supreme for his offense. He didn't even beat the Celestial Supreme up."

Tanc830,428,723C doesn't have a Supreme law but the Celestial Supreme isn't strong either so Tanc830,428,723C could have killed him. But he didn't and the Celestial Supreme didn't attack him further after realizing who it was he attacked.

It was all because the young Supreme beasts were going to be let loose and allowed to rampage throughout the plane. Tanc830,428,723C didn't want to rob the younger generation of their prey so he let the Celestial Supreme live.

An entire plane is going to be used as a training ground for a hundred young supreme beasts. Even the gods are targets to play with. Anyone who survives gets to become a citizen of the plane and not a slave. As for those who didn't survive, they would have become foils for the young Supreme beasts to gain experience with.

The Mechanical Emperor started speaking again. "Now let's talk about your rewards. Here is a panel of your rewards."

A much longer list appeared before Legion-5. He scrolled through them for a while without reaching the end of it at a glance. Most of the rewards are divine abilities. There are other rewards like the purchase of different types of slaves and livestock from the whole realm. They can also get life essence with their points.

He found out that he could pay off his debts to the Supreme Alliance with two points. It doesn't matter how much he owes them, two points is the same amount that everyone can pay to clear their debts. This made Legion-5 relax.

"Note that the rewards are limited. They will be distributed to all of you based on the points you have and you will be served on a first-come basis."

"I advise you to arrange and order the divine abilities based on classes and then by compatibility followed by price. That will help you make the best decision on what to cash your points in for."

"I also want you to take note that while the prices are the same right now, they will change depending on the first divine ability you choose. The first divine ability you choose will determine your class. The divine abilities from other classes will be more expensive for you from then on."

"You should know about classes by now if you went through the information about divine abilities given to you by your mentors. This classification doesn't only help to divide the divine abilities according to function and usefulness, it also helps to prevent some of you from hoarding the good divine abilities from the other classes and wasting them."

Legion-5 went through the information so he was able to arrange the divine abilities into the warrior class, scout class, and so on.

"You will notice a class noted as special. That class contains divine abilities that the Supreme Alliance wants to nurture in the younger generation. Most of them are not useful for general purposes. Their usefulness is specific and can be fatal to certain races who are weak to them."

"The supreme alliance wants you to get those divine abilities so that you can help them subdue some planes or for specialized jobs that require special skills. So this class of divine abilities is the cheapest to acquire. And if you acquire them, you will surely get employed by the Supreme Alliance as soon as you become an Origin god and your debt will be forgiven immediately. You also won't have any problem with getting further resources from the Supreme Alliance."
