GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The other god-slaying divine abilities in the reward list are not better either. So Legion-7 is the best that he can get for a single divine ability that targets gods. The Supreme Alliance needs a combination of divine abilities or different classes to target gods.

The best case he saw was the divine ability that can be used to curse gods. The divine ability can curse any being so it is not specially designed to harm gods.

The main requirement for the divine ability to be effective is to use something that belongs to the target as a channel for the curse. It just so happens that believers belong to a god and can be used to great effect to curse their god. The cursed god will weaken and be unable to create divine energy for some time.

A supreme beast once used the believers of a whole plane to curse the gods. Millions of lives were sacrificed to extinguish the godfire of the gods of the plane. Gods were dropping out from the sky like dead flies. Only Celestials survived but they were severely injured.

The cursing divine ability showed great effect in harming the gods but it had a weakness. It couldn't kill the believers at all. Someone else had to kill the believers while the divine ability used their death to curse their gods.

This information attached to the description of the divine ability made Legion-5 sigh in awe. "A single being managed to cripple the pantheon of a plane. No wonder the Supreme Alliance doesn't take the gods seriously."

"It is truly something. The class system has created weakness in the supreme beasts but they are still capable of great feats."

Legion-5 had to nod in agreement. "Their unity brings out the best in them. Our Unity will also bring out the best in Legion until perfection is acquired."

The Supreme beast that brought down a pantheon belongs to the negative buff class. She had the help of another Supreme beast who killed the inhabitants of the plane while she used their deaths to fuel her curse. Her curse made the inhabitants weaker so they could be killed easily which in turn affected their gods.

It is killing two birds with one stone. As the believers died, so did their gods. The supreme beast didn't have to kill the believers before going to the divine plane to find trouble with their gods. They got rid of the two of them at the same time.

The two Supreme beasts worked together to achieve unprecedented efficiency. It is what Legion aims to achieve. They can imagine how powerful they will become when they complete the third stage of unity.

Legion-7 brought them back from their dreams of the future. "Let's focus on what we can do for now. You are lagging behind badly. You have no army or subordinates. Others have already breached the second circle of the plane. Even the slowest are preparing to do so. We have been on standby for more than a month now."

"That's true. Did anything interesting happen in the plane while I was asleep?" he asked Legion-7.

"Your merchant came with some goods but had to return because of the lockdown of your base. Some Origin god-level Supreme beasts that appear to be scouts seem to be playing a game of hide and seek. They seem to be searching for someone in the plane. There is also the developments of the other Supreme beasts who are making progress. Alliances are pooling their funds together to raise one of their members to the Sovereign level. There's nothing much apart from that "

Legion-7's main body may be inside Legion-5 but he has his hands or tentacles in other places such as the many individuals he has possessed throughout the plane. These individuals are his eyes and ears in the plane. And if needed, they can become vessels to create different versions of the clones of Legion.

It is through those vessels that he learned a lot about the plane while Legion-5 was unconscious.

Legion-5 asked, "So there are other Origin gods apart from the Mechanical Emperor. That isn't surprising. But what are they searching for?"

"I don't know. Maybe they are training or patrolling the plane. It is their job to keep us safe after all. There's nothing odd about moving about the plane in stealth."

"I can't move yet anyway. I am not done with my assimilation."

"Then hurry up."

"I am hurrying up."

He truly is very fast. Other supreme beasts are not as fast as him and they surely can't fuse with two divine abilities at the same time. He is definitely ahead of them in terms of power so he wasn't concerned about his delay.

"There is no need to worry. At the end of the day, power is supreme."

He remained seated for two more weeks before the two divine abilities were fully assimilated. There were some abnormalities during the fusion. His body turned transparent at some point and at another point, he became a black rock.

They are minor changes that brought just a little pain to him. And they were temporary so he succeeded in the assimilation to make the crystal space butterfly and the Origin divine ability finally became his.

Legion-7 was quick to start the next step as soon as he was done. "I will start combining the crystal space butterfly with me and the dragon heart. It won't be available in the process so you can only play around with the origin diamond divine ability for now."

"Alright. You do that. I will go and test out its defense."

Legion-7 extended his tentacles to the orb containing the spatial manipulation divine ability. He used his tentacles to draw it closer to the dragon heart where he was in and began the fusion process. There were 7 slots within Legion-5 before but they are about to become 6 slots now.

This process is something that other supreme beasts will have to comprehend the laws of the divine abilities just to start. Then they need to align each divine ability based on the laws they have in common and the compatibility of their image. But Legion-7 took no heed of all of that.
