GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Legion has survived the painful separation of their body from their soul. They have survived the constant and painful corrosion of Chaos energy for 50 years. This much pain is nothing to him. It also helps to know that the clones are almost done with their preparation. All he has to do is endure until they come.

The dragon spirit shouted again, "Submit or die!"

This rang out in the bloodline space as his soul was put through a blender.

-----The Attack.

The realm lord said in excitement. "It seems it is about to start."

He knows everything that is going on in the realm. His vision is limited to physical actions and not thoughts, but it is enough for him to know when the showdown between Legion and the dragons is about to start. It is a fight he is not willing to miss. That's why he has tuned in to watch the match.

He said in anticipation, "I had to stop dedicating all of my attention to my projects, but this will be worth it."

He is sitting in his throne room on his elegant throne made of wood from the Tree of Life. His sight extended from the tower of heaven to the single most powerful plane roaming around the realm. He can see that dragons of various kinds have formed a cocoon around the plane. He can also see the main force that is about to attack them.

Mother Heaven High, on the other hand, isn't so excited for the upcoming battle. She said to him, "Now that this has come to this level, I am having reservations."

He asked her with slight mirth, "Are you worried that the dragon king will become angry?"

She replied, "Yes. I don't even want him to turn his attention toward the realm. He might interfere with the era of conquest if he becomes angry. We will definitely lose if that happens."

Monarch High Heaven chuckled evilly. "It is too late for that. He already knows."

Mother High Heaven wasn't surprised by that. She sighed and said, "It was only a matter of time for him to find out about Legion-8's plan to harm the dragon plane."

Monarch High Heaven chuckled even more. "No, no, no. I meant that he knows everything about Legion. But there is no need to worry. He has already achieved what he created the dragons for. He won't become angry at you for the destruction of the plane. You have already done your best, and you have no hand in it."

That didn't ease her worries. After all, she can recall vividly the majesty and might of the dragon king. The dragon king is not someone that one can be reasonable with. He must always get his way or destroy everything in his path.

She was young when she encountered him, but she has not encountered energy as powerful as his from any entity since then. That energy was almost as powerful as cosmic energy. It wasn't, but it was more malleable than cosmic energy.

She used that energy to create the ancestor of high elves. The abilities of the ancient high elves and the dragons are just manifestations of the power and potential that the dragon king had. That was a long time ago. She can only imagine just how powerful he has become since then. So she is rightfully afraid of him.

She said, "Still, this is dangerous. Anything could happen. Most of them are bad."

The realm lord shrugged. "Nothing can be changed. The plane will be destroyed when the dragon clone is born. He will absorb the power of the life anchor of the plane, and he will be punished for it. The outcome of this fight is set. Both the dragon plane and dragon clone will be finished by the end of all of this. That should appease the dragon king."

Mother High Heaven didn't know what to say about that statement. She doesn't know why the dragon king chose to have offspring, so she doesn't know what he has achieved through the dragons. She also doesn't know how the realm lord acquired knowledge of the dragon king's success.

There is a lot that she doesn't know about him, so she was only mildly curious about the source of his information. That curiosity only increased when she sensed the confidence he had in the fact that Legion-8 would die. Unfortunately, she can't ask him how she knows. There are secrets she keeps from him, and vice versa.

She could only maintain her silence as she paid attention to the fight that was about to begin. An army approached the dragon plane. They are flying through the void in between planes using massive ships.

These ships are warships. They are tubular but have tapered spherical ends. Each one of them is equipped with many large cannons. She can see millions of golems on each ship. These golems have the power of Origin gods each, so they are quite the threat. Then there are thousands of Supreme Beasts in each ship. This makes the upcoming fight a race war.

This is a race war unlike any other. The supreme beast race would usually use three of their members to attack and subdue an entire plane. But here they are, with thousands of ships and a total of a million Supreme Beasts.

It is obvious that they are taking this attack seriously. Mother High Heaven was not surprised by their enthusiasm for revenge. She knows how the Supreme Alliance would react to the news.

The armada of the Supreme Alliance hadn't reached their destination before they were contacted by their opponent.

A dignified voice declared directly into their minds, "Leave now."

The Supreme Beasts didn't say anything in reply. They continued their forward journey at the same speed but with a mounting thirst for blood. They are not going to leave. It is the last thing on their mind right now. This fight is a long time coming. The Supreme Alliance has been looking forward to it ever since the dragons destroyed their home plane.
