GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1856: Power Always Wins.



She shrugged at his question which made him glare at her with his eyeless face.

He told her, "No, I don't want their crap. It has potential, but potential is useless to us at this point. We have already reached the limit. What we need is actual power. Not shards of it. Especially not dead shards."

"Besides, I can't harm them. You know I already made a contract with them. Unless they break the contract, my hands are tied."

She offered him a suggestion: "You could make a trade for their shard of power. Ask them for it, and if they offer you, you can use that opportunity to act on them."

He scoffed and refused to acknowledge that suggestion with a reply. He just can't be bothered to go through all of that for something that wouldn't benefit him.

The shards of power in Legion's possession are why he has bothered to pay any attention to them. There's no other interesting thing about them and he wouldn't have offered them a slot in his world even for their shard of power.

Monarch High Heaven was interested in them because of the Universal artifact that connected their minds. He got their help to create the pillars that connect the minds of origin gods to God's Domain.

Monarch High Heaven invited them to the project because he wanted to use his system to collect data about them. Especially data about Aeternus and Chaos energy.

That move paid off for the god of power since he got to collect data about Aeternus and the shards of power. Unfortunately, there was nothing much to see about their shards. He has seen it before, and they were alive when he saw it. Theirs is dead and won't be alive until they become world gods.

So unless there is a hidden benefit to gaining their shard that he doesn't know about, it would be a waste of his time to bother with it. But if there is truly a hidden benefit and it is why she is hounding him so much about their shard of power, it is the more reason why he shouldn't help her acquire it.

He said to her, "They are not completely boring, though. They are the only ones that can leave this universe, so that has to count for something. I am just more interested in their connection with who must not be named."

She felt a headache coming on. It is a phantom pain, of course, but it is real enough for her to worry.

She pleaded with him, "Please don't mess with that. Legion may be beneath its notice, but we are not. All our plans can go up in smoke if we draw its ire."

He shrugged and said innocently, "I am not doing anything dangerous. I am just watching the sequence of chaos in their existence. It is the system that is trying to decipher the true law of Chaos. You know how greedy brother is for knowledge."

She sighed in relief. "That's good. If it is WISDOM's doing, I can be rest assured."

He said with disdain, "So you think he can't do any wrong, but you don't trust me if I do the same thing."

She replied, "Yes."

He looked down at her and said, "You know, we would be stronger than him if we combined our strengths."

She shook her head. "I am not doing that."

He roared in laughter. Then he straightened himself and continued to look at the humans. He did say something about her rejection.

He said, "Everything would be so much easier if we became one."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

She nodded in agreement. "That's true. But I like things being difficult."

He nodded and suggested, "Maybe I should rile up who must not be named. That would surely make things very difficult for us. We will see if you will choose to become one with me or disappear completely."

She became afraid again. "Don't joke around with that."

He didn't back down at all as he said, "Who says I'm joking?"

She tried to be reason with him. "We could lose everything that way. No. We will surely lose everything that way. It is not even a gamble. It is a death sentence."

He agreed with her with a nod. "You are right. But I like death sentences."

She snorted and disappeared into God's Domain.

He smirked when she left. Then he returned to watching everything going on in his world.

He couldn't see her or tell what she was doing despite God's Domain being inside of himself, but he didn't worry about that because while he is unable to stop her from doing anything, she can't do anything to him either.

What he needs to worry about is when the fruit of all his current labor comes into play. He must make sure that she doesn't steal it from him.

He is not foolish. He knows that she is up to something, and he also knows that his brother is up to something. But he is confident in himself.

Many people have taken him for a fool of his life. Those people are no more now. It was not by chance. Power always wins.

The humans arrived in God's Domain in large numbers. All of them were distributed across a number of large, dilapidated cities.

The cities were a hybrid of concrete and actual jungle. Trees were growing through the buildings, and grass was all over the ground. There were birds, insects and rodents

everywhere.

The places wouldn't even look like cities if not for the rusted cars and other pieces of decayed technology scattered all over the place.

Taylor had just replied yes to the prompt when he became unconscious and appeared here. He wasn't the only one. There were thousands of people around him, all confused, bewildered, or excited.

Taylor stretched his hand and felt his face. He winked his toes and tasted the air. He combed his hand through his scalp, which made his skull tingle with pleasure just like it would in the

real world.
