GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Aeternus threw the large white core shining like a star at the tree father then he went in his way. A vine snapped the core out of the air and brought it to the large tree. Then the core was absorbed by the tree father. The avatar of the tree father didn't glow after absorbing the Authority of the Celestial Supreme. It didn't glow because it didn't become the Celestial Supreme. It is just an avatar. Instead, the Authority went to the main body. The main body of the tree father is in a small world within a world beast.

THE TREE FATHER.

There is a world beast roaming the void outside of the realm tree of the high heaven realm. This world beast is as unassuming as any other world beast that one encounters in the void. It is as large as half a plane but that is normal for a world beast that is also at the origin god rank.

The inner world of this world beast is also normal. It is a landscape of base sand on a continent floating in an ocean of water. Outside the world is the raging current of energy that is contained within the origin of any being. If there is something odd, it will be the presence of two beings inside this inner world instead of one.

These two beings are working on what seems like a core of energy and matter. This core seems like an incomplete gem. It has many sides which have arcane runes on them and it has some sides which are absent and hollow. This core is not odd to have within the inner world of a world beast. It is just the core of a death star. That's normal depending on who you ask. A world beast can work on weapons of mass destruction in their past time. It is the fact that there are two beings in this inner world that is weird.

One of these beings is a young humanoid that looks like an elf. This elf is working on the core of the death star with the other being in the inner world. The elf has green skin and green eyes. Even his hair is made of leaves and flowers. There are some patches on the skin made of tree bark. The elf also has a long pointed ear.

The other being in the small world looks like a hideous black reptilian monster. It looks like a muscular and upright crocodile except that the jaws aren't drawn out and elongated. There are thick and nearly arranged blackish-purple scales on the body of this entity.

Now, two or more people can work on a death star. That isn't weird at all. But there shouldn't be two people within the inner world of a world beast. They should be ground down and converted to energy. It is common knowledge that whatever enters a world beast has difficulty keeping itself together.

So this elf has found a way to maintain the integrity of their existence and exist within this inner world. It is not feeling any pain whatsoever as the two of them are working in harmony and tandem to build what will be the core of the death star. The elf can even engage in light banter.

The green elf said to the other one. "What a way to die. Having your ugly past rear its head at you. The immunity of the god of fate is pretty good. It would have been impossible to kill him if Aeternus had not cheated."

The reptilian monster grinned and replied. "This is just the tip of the iceberg of what the shards of power can do. I am looking forward to its full glory."

The grin of this monster is not pretty. The black obsidian teeth displayed only made the blackish-purple monster seem more monstrous. There are also the six eyes with black pupils and purple sclera that gleamed dangerously. The monster looks like a beast from a nightmare.

The elf is the main body of the tree father while the monster is Legion-1. Legion-9 woke up a few years after Soverick became the child of the realm. It was almost 60 years after the reincarnation operation but it is thousands of years earlier than expected for it to wake up. The supply of infinite origin energy boosted its awakening and shortened the time needed for it to awaken. He transformed from a large tree to an elf form to move around easily.

The tree father was a weird god even before the shard of power came into play. He became a god within the small inner world, not in some plane like some other gods. It meant that he didn't get the bestowal of a divine kingdom, domain, and divine energy needed to become a Celestial. So it had to make do with the entire small world as its divine kingdom.

It got permission from Legion-1 instead of the divine plane to make this inner world his domain. Since there was no Celestial Authority here, there was no divine energy either. It had to make do with Origin essence for its transformation. Legion-1 gave him as much Origin essence as he needed to ascend.

It sounds like all bad things for a god. If not for the fact that Legion-9 used the Godhood of a Celestial then it wouldn't have been able to ascend at all. And if it didn't have an Origin soul, then the origin essence would have been a waste on it. So the situation was very bad for a god to be in but it wasn't bad for Legion-9.

The situation was unprecedented to say the least. Celestials aren't meant to use Origin essence to break through just like they aren't supposed to have an origin soul. They certainly aren't supposed to be a Life tree with the ability to transform energy either. There were a lot of weird circumstances that ended in the creation of a Celestial Hybrid. At least that's what Legion calls him Legion-9.
