GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1217 Eat What You Kill.

The rite of passage is a program that was created by the Supreme Alliance in its earlier days. It was created to solve the problem of discontent about the distribution of resources. There was a question about how much resources should be invested in a Supreme Beast and how should that amount be determined. The rite of passage was the answer to that question."

"The fact that the rite of passage also provided the opportunity for the young to gain experience has further made the rite of passage important and indispensable to the upbringing of the younger generation. But the focus of the rite of passage still remains on resource distribution by merit."

"In the supreme race, we pride ourselves on the lack of nepotism. This is due to the presence of the Supreme Alliance. Other races have bloodlines that keep them together and they have families to take care of them. Bloodlines create blood ties and familial bonds lead to nepotism. We don't have the advantages of bloodlines but we have the Supreme Alliance. So this is not a family business. You should know by now that you eat what you kill."

That brought back some unpleasant memories. Some young supreme beasts paled at the recollection of the blood crucible. They didn't expect that experience after being pampered so much. At first, they could eat any livestock they wanted. Then they had to kill each other to live. They might have even killed their brothers and sisters. The recollection made them nervous and afraid of the rite of passage.

Legion-5 shook his head at the sight. "They have gone through quite the change in their worldview. But they are still weak-willed."

They ate what they killed in the blood crucible and they became stronger for it. Each one of them that survived has the ability to utilize 9 divine abilities. They also had a change in mentality and can kill easily but he still can't take them seriously. He is not underestimating them but he doesn't think they are his equals at all.

The Mechanical Emperor continued solemnly. "The rite of passage is an introduction to how the Supreme Alliance operates. You don't get things handed to you from here on out. If you want something from the Supreme Alliance, then you must give them something in exchange. You must prove your worth."

"You must take your rite of passage seriously because not only will it affect your power as an Origin god and how well you use your potential, but It will also affect if you will have to repay the Supreme Alliance for everything they have done for you until now. You heard me right. Everything you have enjoyed until now was recorded. You will have to repay the Supreme Alliance for the goods and services you enjoyed."

"This includes the resources you consumed before you could hatch, the amount of livestock that you killed or ate to become mana entities, and the amount of life essence that you used to become transcendents."

That information surprised all of them. Some of them began to murmur but no one heard them speak because each chair was sound isolated from the others. The only communication going on was between each of them and the invigilator. They heard what he said and he heard their exclamations.

"This is not a family business. The Supreme Alliance doesn't owe you anything. In fact, the Supreme Alliance saved you from being eaten by your parents. The Supreme Alliance has helped you to become Supreme Beasts. So act like Supreme Beasts."

"If you want something, you take it. You should not rely on the generosity of others. Remember the stories you heard after you were hatched and seek to play them out in your life. Go forth and dominate."

The Mechanical Emperor's voice was stern but then he chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry too much about repaying what you have used until now. They are just small things to an Origin god. They can be easily repaid with at most a year of work for the Supreme Alliance. Don't worry about the little amount of food you ate as hatchlings. The cost of Mana entities is nothing compared to your immortality. So relax."

But Legion-5 couldn't relax. He didn't use one or two drops of life essence like the others. He used about a thousand drops. And he is even planning to use more. Then there is the huge amount of food that he ate during the blood crucible and after it.

His appetite was so great that the amount of food he ate was more than the value of what the other Supreme beasts wasted when they killed cooks and other livestock without eating them.

"They should have mentioned this earlier. How long will I have to work to repay what I ate?" He thought to himself.

He was feeling slight regret for eating so much. It didn't help that the other clones snickered and mocked him. "Serves you right."

He was enjoying things that they had to work hard and risk their lives to get so they are happy to see that he will have to pay for them.

The Mechanical Emperor continued, "As for those who are not relaxed, you will get the opportunity to write off your debts in this competition. It is one of the rewards that you can use your points to acquire. But personally, I don't think it is worth it to waste your points on something like that."

"Now let's get back to the main event of the rite of passage. The main mission of this rite of passage is the spreading of the influence of the Supreme Alliance throughout the plane. This plane has been subjugated by the Supreme Alliance but that's only at the surface level."

"Your job is to eliminate the resistance to the control of the Supreme Alliance by entrenching the operations and ideology of the Supreme Alliance throughout the plane. You are to enlighten them about our right to rule and their destiny to serve."
