GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1917  The Path Of Legion.

Regardless of why they turned out better than the original creators of the Universal artifact, their goal to achieve perfection as Legion has become more feasible thanks to their new strength. What's more is that they have seen a direction for their supreme law. It is not enough for them to be united amongst themselves. They want everything and everyone to be united with them too. They have also seen the way to use the incomplete universal artifact to its fullest potential. With the right Supreme Law, they can make it fuse other beings into them either by converting those existences into clones of Legion or by creating new clones of Legion to add to themselves. This way they can always keep growing in number until they truly become Legion. Or they can even fuse with the past and future versions of themselves in time. The last part is the one they find the most intriguing. If they can achieve it, they would gain a method to become omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent in all of time and space. Even now, their existence is trying to subsume the pillar that connects them to God's Domain in order to connect to the godly vessels and add their power to their current Unity.

They thought about forcing the pillar to let them gain access to God's Domain, but their contract nagged silently at the back of their minds. Such an act of interference would break their contract not to sabotage God's Domain, so they decided to rein in their impulse. Fortunately, they had better targets to focus their greed on. Aeternus was still within their trap. Around him lay the fragments of their tenth clone. They ignored these fragments in favor of the Authority that used to power them. They had some discussions on what to do with them, but they eventually decided to use the Crown of Domination. It is the safest means they have to steal this Authority for themselves. Aeternus selected one, which he added to the Crown of Domination. There was no change after it went into the Crown of Domination. They were too strong for it to have any effect. So they decided to subsume it. Aeternus picked another one and ate. It struggled briefly but was destroyed by Chaos energy. They didn't gain knowledge from it, but there was an incredible energy with it that increased the power of his demonic spark.

He had devoured something and had grown stronger because of it. It was not the first time such a thing had happened to them. It happens to demon gods and has happened to him before. But never has something so small and so unassuming given so much power at once.

He said to the other clones, "This is why I wanted to steal the Authority of the void universe. But you guys held me back."

Legion-1 said to him, "Look at what we had to do to steal the Authority of a world god. Imagine what could have happened had we failed. Now multiply that by a hundred."

Legion-5 helped him to paint a picture. He asked, "Do you remember that time you were messing with the fragmented body of an unconscious origin god and then you blacked out? That's the best thing that can happen to us if we mess with the void universe."

"I know you guys are right, but that's not going to stop me from blaming all of you for dragging me down. Sure, we could get in big trouble messing with the void universe. But we didn't mess with it, and I didn't get the Authority I wanted. I can only blame you guys for that, not the void universe."

He was blaming them as he devoured the Authority of the first sage. They have no control over this Authority despite it being in their possession, so they can't use it for their Crown of Domination. It meant that they didn't feel any pain or loss as Aeternus gobbled them one by one. Besides, his power was also their power.

The only thing they had to take notice of was how different this Authority increased his power compared to other things he had neatened before. This difference was clear to them even without Soverick's eyes. In the past, Aeternus had had to increase the size of his existence to increase the power of Chaos energy. This was because he was the vessel for Chaos energy.

Anything he ate increased the size of his existence. But this time, the spark of power within him increased in power directly. His existence remained the same, but the Chaos energy became stronger. It made them believe that it could increase the power of their other sparks. While Aeternus was blaming them for holding him back and while they were monitoring his existence for anything out of place because of what he was eating, Soverick was examining the Authority of the first sage that Aeternus hadn't laid his gluttonous hands on. He said after analyzing it, "So this is a lesser version of the Authority of the Void universe. It doesn't contain a Supreme Law, but it possesses every derivative law from the Supreme Law of the first sage, cosmic energy, and what appears to be an exotic form of chaos energy."

"I believe the exotic energy is related to Chaos blood. It is why it is so beneficial to Aeternus. So it might be useful to us. In fact, it might be detrimental and dangerous if this kind of energy affects anything other than his demonic spark."

Legion-9 shook his head and said, "Dangerous or not, this energy is why these tenth clones are not destroyed by the void universe even without the support of the first sage. So it must be a valuable energy."

Aeternus perked up when he heard that. He said, "You know what? Maybe I was harsh with the first sage. Maybe he is not so bad. Do you think he will give us more of this energy if we pretend to apologize to him?"
