GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

1344 Gambling Addiction.

It is a dangerous hobby to manipulate entities more powerful than them but it is also rewarding. It is even more dangerous to scheme against a demon god and a world god. But they succeeded and created a Kickstarter for their world engine.

It is because it is so rewarding that their plans for Hadrick and Ghastorix are still in the works. They have tasted success and they won't stop until they achieve perfection.

Legion-5 said to them, "Speaking about perfection, I feel like my giant of order divine ability is not perfect yet. Is there anything we can do to increase it? I need it to be at its very best if it is to be the foundation of my plans."

He has already received the crown that Aeternus has prepared for him and it is very powerful. It is on the level of a concept. The divine ability of order that he got from the tree father on the other hand is on the level of a demigod. He is not sure it will be able to handle what he intends to use it for.

The Tree Father didn't even bother to talk since he knew that Legion-5 would always be greedy for more. He has done all he can do short of giving his Authority away. The divine ability has been delivered and he is not willing to do anything else.

It was Legion-7 that appeased him, "We have gotten the best that we can have. The giant of order divine ability cannot awaken further without the full law of order. I have done my best to fuse it right now. But you won't be able to get the full divine ability until the law of order is comprehended. We have to wait for Soverick to use his eyes to crack the law of order or Helios to comprehend it."

"Forget it. I will use what I have to test my hypothesis." Legion-5 said. "I can't wait for Soverick. He is too busy right now with the world-ender. Helios will also take forever."

Legion-7 agreed. "We can't wait for Soverick at all. Not only does he want to use the world-ender to help Aeternus crack the law of Chaos, but he still has the world fragment to plan for. We can always get the full law of order to unlock the law of order later."

Legion-5 agreed grudgingly. " I guess I will have to rely on the godhood and Authority of the Celestial Supreme to enhance it."

The Tree father finally spoke, "I knew you wanted something like that."

Legion-5 shrugged. "We have already invested so much. I think we should give it our best shot so that our investment won't go to waste. Come on. It is just one Authority of the Celestial Supreme. We have a lot of them."

"We have them to use to get resources to build our law matrix. You are asking for too much."

They argued for a while but Legion-7 ultimately got what he wanted. It is a he said, they have already invested a lot into his plan. It won't do for it to fail because they withheld some resources.

The Tree Father is the mind of reason advising them not to gamble too much on his plan. It is just like the normal opposing inner thoughts of others. Unfortunately, the inner voice of caution and reason usually loses out to that voice that encourages people to keep gambling.

So the Tree Father lost and Legion-5 got the Authority of the Celestial Supreme. It was sent to him through the spatial channel between clones created by Legion-7.

Legion-7 received the Authority of the Celestial Supreme in the inner world. It was heavy to move about. When he considered that he would be the one to do most of the work in Legion-5's project, he couldn't help but complain. "This has to work."

"Even if it doesn't work, it is unlikely that the Authority of the Celestial Supreme will go to waste. We have very little to worry about."

That last sentence caused Soverick's face to twitch. But he ignored Legion-5. Even if he doesn't know if Legion-5's plan will work. This is because there is no precedent for it in the past.

He is only certain that it will lead to powerful consequences because his vision of its result in the future is messy. It is as if something powerful that he can't gaze upon will interfere.

The first time he encountered such a situation was when he gazed at Mother High Heaven after defeating the Celestial Supreme Ode. So his best guess is that the Will of the void universe will be involved in Legion-5's future. After all, it still hates Legion-7 very much and Legion-7 is one of the cornerstones for this project.

This is why Legion thinks it will fail and why the Tree Father wants them to cut their losses short. However, it is because they know that what they have prepared is lacking that they want to invest more.

Aeternus spoke, "It seems I have a lot more work to do before we can get the world fragment online. I will go and attack that Gattling plane. It should give Legion more wealth and another Authority of the Celestial Supreme."

Legion-7 likes that idea very much. "You should do that. But not soon. I want to be there to smash Kilorita's face in myself. Your Chaos energy is no fun at all. It doesn't give tactile feedback of violence at all."

Aeternus agreed and returned his attention to the current plane that he is invading. Legion is very wealthy thanks to his successful invasion of many planes and Legion-1's thieving career in the immortal lands. But the cost of the world fragment has drained them and they will need more if they are to purchase a world seed.

They have so much currently that a world fragment is not enough to drain them of their wealth. But a world seed which is the most expensive of the three fragments of a world heart is a massive burden on Legion. That means the Gattling plane will be invaded to help bear that burden for them.
