GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Draco retreated as fast as possible. He created a large distance between himself and Ragnarok by destroying every link between himself and the dragons. He didn't just retract his power from their dragon heart. He also destroyed the dragon spirit, just to be sure.

The world recovered immediately. The grayness disappeared, and the world resumed its motion. The dragons and the supreme beasts didn't fight anymore, though. Instead, they all flew towards Ragnarok and surrounded him.

One of the Supreme Beasts said to him, "We know that you are not truly a Supreme Beast. You may be Agrivo839,371,456A, but you are not one of us. You are a parasite that wormed its way into our midst. However, we don't care. We also don't care that you used us against the dragons. All we care about is the heart of the godling."

"Hand over the dragon heart that you got. You can't leave here if you don't. Even if you do, we will chase you to the end of the void universe for it. It is best that you do not offend the Supreme Alliance. Instead, give us the dragon heart and become our friends. You will be rewarded handsomely as our friend."

The dragons also made their bid, "We don't care about the dragon heart. We just don't want you to give it to the Supreme Alliance, and we are also angry that you destroyed our home plane."

"The dragon heart belongs to a brethren of ours. It should be with us to do whatever we want to do with it. You can either surrender it peacefully and we will let you go, or we kill you to get and have the whole dragon race as your enemy."

Ragnarok didn't even look at them. He didn't act surprised that the Supreme Alliance already knew that he was pretending to be Agrivo839,371,456A. Legion already knew that they suspected him when he brought the information about the dragon plane to them.

After all, Agrivo839,371,456A had disappeared only to suddenly appear again with crucial information. It would be foolish of them not to suspect him at all.

Legion knew that trying to pit the two races against each other could backfire, and they were prepared for it. So even though they didn't know that the dragons had already made contact with the Supreme Alliance and explained the whole situation to them, Legion wasn't fooled when the Supreme Alliance was pretending to fight with the dragons. So it didn't come as a surprise to Ragnarok that they wanted the dragon heart of Legion-8 for themselves.

The dragon heart that Legion-8 left behind is very powerful. The dragons could use it to create a new dragon spirit or help a dragon become a godling, and the Supreme Alliance could use it to create a very powerful Supreme Beast or find a way to create more of the dragon heart.

It would be a good idea to give it to the Supreme Alliance since they will pay more for it. If they do that, Legion would get their support and a lot of wealth. The bid of the dragons, on the other hand, is not nearly appetizing.

But Legion doesn't like to share, so Ragnarok decided to offend the two races and leave with the dragon heart. This is one of the few times that they truly deserve something after working for it. They are not going to give it up because of the two races.

As if they could sense his thoughts, one of the Supreme Beasts said grimly, "You have made a mistake, Legion. You have made a terrible mistake. Not to worry, though. We will show you the error of your ways."

One of the Supreme Beasts can sense favorable and negative emotions, so they became aware immediately when Ragnarok decided to cheat them. However, they are confident that he won't be able to escape. They have a lot of information about Legion from the dragon king, so they know about the clones's ability to teleport to each other.

They have frozen space and even used an array technology with their armadas to seal the space off the plane completely. So in a way, the whole plane has become like the domain of an Origin god. Any Origin god that dies here won't be able to recover their memories. If even memories can't escape, his chances of escaping can be considered zero.

Ragnarok sensed the whole plane and realized that he couldn't perceive the world outside it. Unfortunately, this is not going to stop him.

He said to them, "You are too late."

They are truly too late. The heart had already gone to the other clones when he laid his hands on it. They can't get it, even if he is trapped here.

He said the same thing that the dragon king had said to him, "You lost the moment you came to this plane. You knew I was playing you, and yet you came. Your greed has doomed you."

They declared to him, "Give up. You can't beat us. You have unspeakable days ahead of you. By the time we are done with you, you will wish you could die."

They were sneering when they suddenly stopped. Instead, they raised their heads and used their divine sense to sense something outside the plane. The plane was already in darkness, but a kind of inky, sticky darkness began to infiltrate the plane.

This darkness was like the grayness of Legion-8 and the dragon king. It was not the absence of light. It seemed to infect everything and subjugate it. But unlike the grayness that froze everything, this inky darkness corrupted everything with disorder.

The dragons and Supreme Beasts were shocked. If the dragon king could be shocked, then they ought to be frightened out of their lives by what they sensed.

Someone asked, "What is this?"

They got a lot of information from the dragon king about Legion, but it didn't include whatever it is that is encroaching on the whole plane.
