GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1167 Green With Jealousy.

1167 Green With Jealousy.

But death is not his greatest fear. His greatest fear is death without a purpose. Legion hates wastage. They hate making losses. To have his entire life be a waste is not something he is looking forward to.

Helios had to step in. "No one is dying okay? It is just a short experiment. It won't last more than 2 seconds. Maybe less. I just want to see how Chaos energy reacts with the law fragments of order in my body. I will be slightly injured at most. It shouldn't affect you and Legion-8 at all."

"Fine. Just get it over with." Legion-5 said.

The tree father prepared with Aeternus and Helios. Then Chaos energy went from Aeternus to Legion-1 and from Legion-1 to Helios. The rest is history.

When Legion-5 came to, a black orb was revolving around his egg. It passed through the incubator as if it were an intangible phantom. No one could see it either. Only Legion-5 could see it but he couldn't control it.

An atmosphere of dread settled within the mind link. Silence and a profound appreciation for life pervaded their consciousness. They are still reeling from the impact of what they just went through. It is unbelievable that they survived it.

Legion-5 said dryly, "It is fortunate that I don't dislike saying 'I told you so" and that I don't even have to say it for all of you to hear it."

That made them chuckle. It loosened the mood a little.

"Let's see if we are any different." Legion-1 proposed.

They immediately checked their existence to see if there was any change. There were no obvious changes. Even their stat screen didn't notice anything different about them. The first one to notice a change was Legion-7. His bond was broken and he ran away immediately.

"What a lucky bastard," Legion-5 muttered. "His useless life became meaningful just like that."

Legion-7 was still struggling to escape but he still had enough mind to retort. "I was enslaved and it wasn't because I was useless. I possessed something important that was coveted hence why I was enslaved."

"We all have what you have that was coveted. Anyone of us could have been enslaved so you're not that important."

"Who got the law of the soul?" Legion-7 asked.

Legion-5 admitted, "You did."

"Did the law of the soul save Aeternus or not?"

"It saved Aeternus."

"Did you get the law of the soul?"

Legion-5 tried to excuse himself. "I have not hatched yet. I haven't had the chance to..."

Legion-7 would have none of it. He insisted, "Did you or did you not get the law of the soul?"

The two of them argued for a while. It was short because they were interrupted. Aeternus was the next to discover a change. It was a positive change too.

The ability he was trying to create by modifying his mark of sin worked with soul force. Then Soverick was next. His eyes fused together and he gazed at the realm lord.

"I can see you." Soverick mocked.

Soverick's eyes pierced through the void between the two planes and locked onto his frail form within the egg. That only made Legion-5 more jealous. Everyone is getting something from the shards of power apart from him. Legion-6 broke from the demon god and Legion-4 is becoming a star. Then Soverick reeled in pain.

Legion-5 snickered, "Serves you right."

Soverick received a backlash. His eyes separated forcefully and he even became blind.

"It is only temporary," Soverick said with relief.

Legion-5 continued to mock him, "I hope for your sake that it is temporary. If it isn't then maybe we should get rid of you and try for another useful clone."

He is still salty about the talk of replacing him. They risked his life and now they are gaining benefits from it. But he isn't getting anything out of the danger they put him through.

Soverick suggested, "These black orbs are the distillation of infinite possibilities. They are raw power made manifest. I think we should call them the shard of power."

Legion-1 observed, "These shards of power are powerful but they are also dangerous. They are uncontrollable to random in their effects."

Aeternus spoke to Legion-5, "Maybe it is not a bad thing that you are not affected by it at all. The consequences might be too dangerous for you to bear. We might have to replace you then."

Legion-5 was not appeased. "Fuck you Aeternus. You think I can't sense the smug sense of superiority you have right now?"

"I am superior to you. I am a demon king and you are still gestating."

"I'm taking this long to gestate because I have a lot of potential. I am better than all of you."

"You can't be superior to the demon king of Chaos. All will be destroyed and damned to oblivion by my hands."

"Mighty cocky for someone that almost died as an egg. If not for Legion-7 and Soverick you wouldn't even finish gestating."

"You wouldn't be alive without Soverick either."

Soverick interrupted them. "I think we can control these shards of power. Their potential might reduce if we gain control of them but the raw power within them can be tapped."

Some were open to the plan. They said, "That sounds like a good idea."

But Legion-5 was quick to reject it. "That sounds like a bad idea. We are not messing with something that nearly killed us."

Soverick said confidently, "It won't kill us. Trust me. I am very good at building artifacts."

His confidence is based on his eyes. He has been able to see and comprehend laws easily as if he is reading them directly from the law matrix instead of trying to decipher them. His eyes have also pushed his forging skills to the apex so he has the confidence that he will be able to find out the function and purpose of the shards of power.

But Legion-5 isn't buying it. "We are not doing whatever you plan until I have hatched."
