GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Hadrikomanika still couldn't believe it. "When did Legion become a world god? Or is he a world ender?"

Ghastorix sighed and shook his head. "I don't know what he is or when he became it. What I do know is that this is the end."

He wanted to roar in anger. He wanted to be defiant. But he has already done that, and it failed him.

His defenses have failed. What is left is the soft and weak inner space, which can't put up any meaningful defense.

Hadrikomaniac turned to the world as she felt hostile gazes settle on her. The gazes were coming from every living being in her world. They were all looking at her with a mocking gaze.

Hadrikomaniac pleaded, "Please, Soverick. He is your ancestor. You can take his world, but please spare his life."

She is asking for that because she can tell that Ghastorix can't abandon his world and escape with his consciousness. She doesn't know how Legion is doing it or why he is doing it, but she doesn't expect it to be good for Ghastorix. So she is pleading for his life.

The creatures in the world all began to laugh when they heard her plea. They had been looking at her with gazes of mockery before, but now they were openly mocking her.

Then they said to her, "You think too lowly of me, old friend. Do I look like someone who would kill his ancestor? I am not here to kill him. I am here to liberate him"

"I am here to give him a great opportunity. This opportunity will change his life. It is a good thing for him. It is you that should be concerned for your own safety.

"Without a world, you will die. So tell your stubborn boyfriend to stop resisting. If he lets this happen peacefully, maybe you'll be able to keep your life."

She said, "I don't care about my life. Just spare him."

She knows that if a world is destroyed, the will of the realm will go with it. Even if the world god survives, he will have to acquire another will of the realm. Only then will the world god be able to utilize both the power of the world and combine it with the power of the living things inhabiting the world.

But Hadrikomaniac doesn't care about her life. She is willing to give it up so that her lover could live.

Ghastorix doesn't think her plea will work, though. It certainly wouldn't work on him as he doesn't care about familiar connections when power is at stake.

So he said to her, "He won't listen to you. Forget about that. Don't waste your strength and what little time we have left in him. Let us spend our last days in each other's embrace."

He touched her face with love and care as he said, "My beautiful short watter barrel."

She said with tears in her eyes, "Oh, you sweet talker."

The two of them hugged and cried in the arms of each other. But that had to end when her white skin and green hair turned black.

Legion-3 had finished infecting the living things. Then he used their connection to the will of the realm to take over her existence too.

Ghastorix finally roared in anger. "Let her go."

His body flashed with lightning as he roared. The lightning was gold, black, and blue. But they became blindingly white when they fused together.

He struck Legion-3 with the white lightning. But the lightning was overcome by chaos energy. It scattered and revealed Ghastorix's angry figure.

He gripped Ghastorix's neck and sneered in his face. "How touching. How pitiful. I like it."

He tossed Ghastorix aside and used his position as the Will of the realm to find the world heart. This is the core of the world that was created when Ghastorix's Supreme law fused with his anchor and became the foundation for the world.

Normally, this place is hidden. Only Ghastorix and the Will of the Realm can access it. No outsider can find it easily.

He remembered how a certain dragon had used the connection of the child of the realm together with the assistance of a world god to find the encrypted space and open it.

He also remembers that Legion had taken advantage of the dragon and that they then found out that it was all an illusion.

Now he is doing the same thing, but he doesn't have the Dragon's help. He is on his own for this, which is all he needs.

In fact, it was very easy for him to do. It is because he has the strength of the world god and the connection to the realm that he needs to find the encrypted space all by himself.

He was an outsider before, but now he has become the Will of the realm. That means he can access it too. And since he is stronger than Ghastorix, he can take it over and add it to Legion-0 by force.

While this was going on, Ghastorix was using his avatars to warn his descendants.

His avatars were in different places in the void universe. He uses them to assist his descendants or to do some things that his true body is too preoccupied to do himself.

Now that he is dying, he is using his avatars to inform his descendants so that they can escape and probably save him in the future.

He said to them, "Run and hide. I am dying. Legion has got me. I don't think I'll be able to resurrect this time around."

He spoke calmly as if the matter wasn't urgent, but they could tell the severity of the matter from the way their ancestor was calm.

They expect him to be angry in a normal situation. He raises his voice at them anytime he speaks with them. So any situation where he can't be angry or raise his voice must be very bad.
