GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Mother High Heaven noticed that he had changed the subject. She was not willing to let the matter of his failures go, so she said, "There's also that time you sneaked into the vault in the immortal alliance and failed to steal that artifact you boasted you could steal."

Monarch High Heaven's face twitched, but he still didn't admit that failure.

He said, "I guess we see things from different points of view. You saw my failure in stealing the artifact, but I see my success in making them lose more wealth than the cost of the artifact."

"Yes, I remember that. You killed a lot of them when you were running for your life. I guess that counts as some loss to them. But you failed to get the artifact."

Monarch High Heaven coughed, "I succeeded in something, and that's all that matters. Now, can you please let it go?"

Mother High Heaven wasn't willing to let things end there. She continued to list his failures while they watched the race war proceed.

Just like any war, this one is a bottomless pit, devouring resources. Fortunately, unlike most wars, this one didn't cost lives. Fighting between immortals doesn't cost lives. What it costs is in resources, and it costs a lot of them.

The world gods on both sides are funneling resources into the fight to support their respective races. All these resources are being wasted in this war. Mother High Heaven felt the pain of the loss literally as those resources were used in many attempts to puncture the barrier of the realm.

There is no special advantage in terms of resources on either side, but the Supreme Alliance has an advantage in the usage of resources. Their one-man army can create a large number of soldiers with the resources they have. Dragons, however, can't use resources for much because they don't need them.

Dragons are mostly self-sufficient. Each one of them is good on its own. They never needed to go to the ancient battlefield for Origin energy. They didn't need Origin weapons because they had their divine bodies. They didn't need to attend the trial of heaven or take a tribulation to become Origin gods because they could make Origin essence without being Origin gods.

At best, they use soul stones to increase their resurrection speed. So having a lot of resources means very little to them. The Supreme Alliance, on the other hand, has a myriad uses for resources ranging from golems to war fortresses to biomass for feeding their slave armies.

This puts their resources to good use. They were able to pressure the dragons with their use of resources and slowly push them back. It cost them a lot of resources to do so, but they count it as an advantage to be able to transform resources into power, not a disadvantage.

Their main force remained hidden among the large army they created with resources, so even though they were losing a lot of troops, the number of Supreme Beasts remained fairly constant. Plus, they have life essence to heal, which the dragons don't have. This made it so that lesser supreme beasts died.

These two factors made it so that, over time, the overall battle situation was in favor of the Supreme Alliance. By now, the dragons have their backs pressed against the plane they are trying to defend. Eventually, the Supreme Alliance will gain access to the dragon plane.

Legion has to make a move then to take advantage of the Chaos in the plane if the dragon clone plans to hatch. If they wait, then the Supreme Alliance might interfere with the hatching.

The hatching has to be done perfectly. Legion-6 is there to make sure that they get the timing right. So he is on the frontlines of the battlefield. The fighting raged on all around him. Thunder boomed, energy exploded, and space quaked. But he stood largely unharmed in the midst of all this destruction.

Ragnarok is in Legion-5's dragon form. But his scales are black, not blue. His horn is golden, and his eyes are bright like twin stars. He is currently fighting a powerful earth dragon. This type of dragon has the most powerful defense of all types of dragons. Their defense becomes largely unmatched when they become Origin gods. But today, the dragon has met his match.

The dragon is larger than him, but it doesn't have an advantage in strength. Legion-6 met her blow for blow. The dragon couldn't harm him at all, while he could harm the dragon. He has six arms, which he uses to great effect.

Each arm ends in a sharp blade made of his body, courtesy of Legion-5's Origin diamond physique. These blades are so sharp that he managed to chip the body of the brown earth dragon.

It is just a small chip in the defense of the dragon. But when it is coupled with his hypersonic attack speed, the poor dragon becomes whittled down rabidly.

Legion-6's six arms were a flash of movement. They couldn't be seen. Only the effect of their movement could be seen. Everything in front of him was sliced apart and destroyed. Then he moved on to the next obstacle.

He is limiting his power and hiding his full abilities so as to appear like a young Origin god. But even so, what little he is exhibiting is more than enough. He has even stood out on the battlefield because of his progress in approaching the dragon's home plane.

It can't be helped. Despite the fact that he hasn't used his own concept, which he is most powerful at, the passive defensive capabilities and physical prowess of Legion-5 and Legion-1 combined have made him the most powerful Origin god beneath the level of Supreme Origin gods. After all, he is the combination of a world beast and dragon currently.

His progress made the dragons pay extra attention to him. They flocked towards him to block his path. But the addition of the space surfing divine ability of the crystal butterfly has further made him unmatched on the battlefield.
