GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

What he has managed with the domain of spores alone has shown him the potential in domains.

For example, the source of 10 transcendents. The Malekites are connected to him so he used that connection to possess them and forced them to become transcendents. Many of them died but some succeeded. But now he doesn't need the connection anymore. Any race can be turned into his minions.

With the domain of spores, he can spread his transcendent soul fragments as spores easily. And with the domain of diseases and plagues, his spores will be able to take root in living beings instead of in the ground, unlike Malekites.

All it will cost him is divine energy to use the domains and Origin energy to create the soul fragments needed for spores.

This combination gave him an idea. "Maybe I should target gods with domains related to the soul. I will be able to learn their divine abilities and use them directly without the need for godhood."

The godhood he got from Malekite has two domains now. But they will be useless once he leaves this plane. Hence the need to learn the divine abilities. As long as they are related to the soul, he can create spiritual techniques similar to them. Which made him turn his greedy eyes toward other gods with divine abilities that have to do with souls.

"There is illusion and death. Those two will strengthen me greatly."

He is going to eat all the gods. He plans to do that but he has gained an order of priority. The gods with the domains of illusion and death are at the top of his list in his god-hunting plan.

------

While he was making further plans about which order he would eat the gods, the will of the plane finally decided that he was too much of a danger to the plane. It finally moved to rectify this invasion.

Legion-7 noticed the Will of the plane move immediately it decided to react. He saw a spiritual entity above the plane. This entity is so large that it covers the whole plane. The entity's main body is a cloud of spiritual energy. But it is connected by threads to every living being in the plane. So it looks like a fat transparent spider.

He was surprised to sense the Will of the plane. This is the first time that Legion has seen anything like it. But he is more concerned about why the Will of the plane appeared.

So he asked, "What are you doing?"

The Will didn't reply but he could guess the reason for its awakening and its motives. He didn't see the Will of the plane before so it was either sleeping or it was hiding. Now that he can see it, it could be because it has awakened or decided not to hide anymore. Either one is not good news for him.

It could be that the Will of the plane moved into action because of the mortals who suddenly lost their connection to it when he possessed them. It could also be because of the two gods that died in quick succession by his hand.

Whatever roused the will of the plane from its dormant state has to be very important. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait for long to see what the Will of the plane would do. Legion-7 saw one of the threads that links the will of the plane to the living things thicken and glow brightly. He understood what had occurred immediately.

"I see. You have made a move against me. It is a smart move too. You have selected someone to defeat me."

Then he chuckled. "You are not the great mother. I am not afraid of you."

From his experience with being children of the plane as Soverick and Helios, and the reaction of the plane in the Lumen plane, he knew that the next thing that the Will of the plane would do when it is threatened is to select a child of the plane. This person must also be someone who possesses an ability or talent that the invader is vulnerable to.

Even so, he didn't feel threatened at all. He is actually looking forward to the fight.

"I wonder how you taste. I will get to see why the demon god of Carnage wants to devour you."

He couldn't do anything to the will of the plane before. But now it has awakened and it has also selected a child of the plane. That has opened an avenue of attack for him. It has given him the opportunity to see what is so great about the Will of the plane that a demon god would want to devour them.

The thought made him chuckle because Ragnarok is currently under the shadow cast by a demon god while he is trying to do the same thing that the demon god wants to do with the plane.

But then something strange happened. The plane stopped. All of time and space in the plane froze. Or it seems to have frozen. Legion-7 sensed that it might just be allowed so much that it appeared to be frozen.

An elf appeared before him. The elf has golden hair and golden eyes. The elf also has green skin. These features brought back familiar memories to Legion-7. Most importantly, he has seen this high elf before.

"Greetings, realm lord," Legion-7 said in greeting.

The realm lord smiled. "The prodigal son has returned. Welcome back to the realm. I wouldn't have known of your arrival had you not caused so much ruckus."

"I haven't broken any rules realm lord. If I have, then I didn't know and I am willing to pay reparations for the damage that I have caused."

The High Elf shook its head and said, "You haven't broken any rules. I came here for another reason."

Legion-7 didn't relax. The fact that he has not broken any rules does not fill him with relief. The presence and attention of the realm lord cannot be taken lightly.
