GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

They spoke for a while about how the Supreme Alliance cares too much for their young and the consequences it would have on them. They don't think Legion-5 will be able to detach himself easily from the Supreme Alliance after everything they have done for him. But that is a problem for the future. In fact, the unwillingness of the Supreme Alliance to let Legion-5 go can be used against them.

So they returned to their present priority.

Legion-7 said to him, "Inspect the godhood quickly. Then give it to me to assimilate."

Legion-5 examined the multicolored ball in his hand as he went into the core of his base. Then he assimilated it into his body. He felt at that point that he could put it into one of his empty slots. He would become a god that way so he didn't. He let it go to the dragon heart where Legion-7 is.

Legion-7 is not to eat it but to hold on to it until they get the remaining ingredients they need for his plan.

Legion-7 confirmed his thoughts. "The plan should work. We should be able to fuse with the Authority of the Celestial Supreme."

Legion-5 was relieved. "I will get the crown of a demon king and the divine ability of the giants of order soon. We will see what will come out of it."

The plane returned to temporary peace. It was broken by the occasional death of a god. Grand gods fell randomly to the main plane. What they all have in common is that they all fell in front of Legion-5's base in the same spot.

If people thought it was by chance that the great god of fire fell and died there, they know now that that isn't the case. They know now that the Shadow of Despair may not be fighting other Supreme beasts or trying to occupy hexes in the plane, but he is busy fishing for gods in the pool that is the divine plane.

The large crater created by Devoni was deepened and widened as time passed. It was eventually named God's Swift Demise. It was named so because gods fall there never to rise again. And they also die very quickly once they drop there.

It is not their fault that they died quickly. Legion-5 is strong but even he can't kill a grand god he just met in a few seconds. Their fights should last at least a minute and probably up to 10 minutes in a one-on-one battle.

But this is not a one-on-one battle that just happens when two random people meet. He always has time to prepare for the fight. The gods don't know who will fall next or when they will fall so they can't prepare for it. He on the other hand has inside information on that particular topic.

He knows who will fall so he has time to search for their weakness before they fall. He knows when they will fall which is when he is prepared enough for them, not before.

In the case of the grand god of fire, he had been preparing the white ball of supercompressed energy long before the battle. This caused the attack to become very powerful. But it also made it heavy and slow. It could be dodged. So all he had to do was make sure that the grand god of fire couldn't move. He did that by getting close to the grand god and holding him down so that the attack could blast him head-on.

The other gods didn't fare better than the grand god of fire. They died in the background of a plane torn by war. They tried to resist him. It led to some hiccups during one of his fights.

He was fighting the great god of love who had deemed it fit to visit the God's Swift Demise. The god of love is a rare beauty of the Swift race. He has four arms with three of them being on the right side of his torso. He is so beautiful that both male and female Switches find him attractive. When combined with his ability to utilize illusions and rile up emotions of lust, he becomes practically irresistible.

This irristibility also worked on Legion-5. Of course, Legion-5 was lusting after the 100 points that he would gain from killing him. Even Legion-7 is looking forward to eating the divinity in the godhood of the great god of law. So one can say with certainty that the Shadow of Despair is attracted to the god of life.

He is also willing to do anything to gain the god of love's heart. Or what others call his godhood. Unfortunately, there are busybodies who have nothing better to do than to interfere in the love life of one consenting and one unwilling adult. They interfered in their fight.

The god of love was going to die. That much was certain very early into the fight when her illusions didn't work on Legion-5. He also had weak physical abilities so Legion-5 was able to snack him around easily. But the coalition created by the gods to interfere in his god hunting came to rescue the god of love.

The gods didn't know who would be next so they forced a joint force to rescue each other. Each member of the joint force sent their vessels over to him and used them to channel their powers into the main plane. So Legion-5 was besieged by 12 incarnations of great gods.

He laughed at them and mocked them. "You fools."

That's what they heard before they heard the sound of cannons lighting up and discharging their attacks. They thought they were ganging up on the Shadow Of Despair. They thought wrong.

Legion-7 was also chuckling as he extended his spiritual tentacles into the vessels. He used the vessels to trace back to their source and entangle the godhoods. Then he began dragging them down. He did so with glee and excitement.

A/N: And they say Legion has a cold unfeeling heart. Apparently he is also a sucker for love.
