GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



World gods can do so much more with cosmic energy. And only a very strong world god can have as much Cosmic energy as Legion. A strong world god in possession of a lot of cosmic energy and at least a universal artifact makes Legion an entity that she doesn't want to mess with. She will rather watch the clash between it and the first Sage. So her display of anger is just for show. She doesn't actually plan to interfere in the competition. But appearances matter. 

She hates the Sage, so she should hate Soverick. Therefore she should be angry, and her descendants will be angry with Soverick. But she won't interfere herself because she seems to fear the Sage. It is all according to what the first Sage will expect of her. She doesn't want to behave otherwise so as not to make him suspicious. It wouldn't do for the first Sage to dig too much into things and find out that Soverick is an imposter. 

She is mad and very angry outwardly. But she is snickering inwardly. She is expectant of the Chaos that will ensue. She is hoping that Soverick will deceive and cheat the first Sage. She is also snickering at the serpentine world god that the first Sage is toying with. He doesn't know the first Sage as much as she does. That's why he made the foolish decision of having a bet with the first Sage.

Foresight is great, but being the Keeper of Secrets has its own perks too. The two world gods are clashing while using the competitors for their own purposes. The Sage thinks he is so great. He is playing the serpentine world god and baiting Soverick to do his bidding. But she knows things that he doesn't know. That is a pleasure in itself. 

Back To Soverick.

'I shouldn't have been worried at all.' He thought to himself.

Honestly, he doesn't know what he was worried about before. The answer to the question of his capability in taking on everyone here is that, yes, he indeed can take on everyone here. He was afraid of being ganged on because he had never used the ability of the child of the plane before. The simple act of removing the shackles on himself is already enough to guarantee his victory. He should never have been worried at all.

He has always held back in using the call for support because he can't use it in secret. Everyone will know where he is and that he summoned their support. The ability is also not infinite. It can run out with use and will need time to refresh. The people of the plane that he gains his support from can't give it to him forever.

Then there is the fact that it becomes possible to steal his title by killing him when he is in this state. Every person born in the Virut plane is connected to him through his title. This connection becomes strongest when he is in his current state. If a person born on the Virut plane kills him when he calls for support, they can take the connection he has to the plane and to its people and graft it onto themselves.

That is how to steal his title. Very few people know this. Lady Amari is one of those people. She didn't tell people the exact truth, but it is partially true that whoever defeats him can take his title. She just never mentioned that they have to kill him in this state to achieve it.

Lady Amari is the smallest threat among those that want to kill him. He is aware of other threats. Kings of law and even sovereigns that want to kill him. The calamity of the child of the plane offended a lot of people. So there are a lot of reasons to want to kill him. 

Most of his enemies are held back by the threat of the racial council. It has been announced that anyone that tries to kill him will become the enemy of the racial council. He doesn't care too much about those threats. It is not that he doesn't consider them a threat. It is because anyone that considers the racial council a threat is not enough for him to worry about. 

He can take on a Sovereign of law and not die. Several Sovereigns will definitely be able to kill him. Not to talk about other Origin gods out there who will like to take a piece of him. It is just difficult to consider them significant when he has felt the gaze of world gods on him. World gods won't hold back because of the racial council. He expects them to make their move to kill him if they truly hate him, and he expects that the racial council won't be able to keep him safe from them. 

The gazes of world gods on him have been fleeting but numerous. Several world gods have paid attention to him ever since he became the child of the plane. He knows that one mistake is enough to end him where he is to be at their mercy. He just has to give them a chance. The first Sage was able to do so. Other world gods can too.

His death will earn his enemies the ire of the racial council, but his death, while he calls for the support of the plane, will also earn his enemies a new child of the plane. The racial council might not go to war as long as they have a child of the plane. There's no need to fight for him in particular. They certainly don't like him. He is not of the lineage of the sages, after all. 

So if his enemies want to kill him and avoid a fight with the racial council, they will want to do so when he is in this state. He decided not to encourage them to act by giving them the incentive to. But now, he can finally act and vent his frustrations.
