GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1694: A Bomb That Can't Explode.



The Will of the realm was trying to keep out the void energy, but it couldn't because there was a large hole, almost one-third of the size of the realm, on its barrier. But it couldn't close the hole because there was a black statue standing within it with his four arms folded, looking down sternly like a disappointed god.

Ghastorix stood in that hole like a god. He wasn't pushing the barrier or trying to rip it apart, but it couldn't heal anymore because it couldn't dislodge him. There was no more destruction or fireworks, but the damage had been done. Ghastorix was like a heavy rock that the realm had swallowed. That analogy made Guntu gulp.

Then he heard his ancestor's voice say, "Get in."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Guntu joined the other Origin gods that were waiting to rush into the realm. They rushed into the hole and passed by the body of their ancestor. They were like flies compared to him. They were truly tiny.

Guntu thought to himself, "I am truly weak."

He and many others think they are weak compared to a world god. They are already immortals, and yet they think they are weak. What about the mortals living their lives in the small realm that was ripped open? They were going about their day when the sky suddenly shook.

Then the earth shook too. Next, the sky came falling down as a hole appeared in it. From that hole, they saw the largest hands that they had ever seen. Most of them didn't even know that a living thing could grow to become so big. So they were very confused.

As for those who knew what could be so big, they fell down in panic or rushed to leave the realm. Unfortunately, they couldn't leave because the Will of the realm had placed the whole realm on lockdown.

If it is any consolation, that lockdown didn't last long before the barrier of the realm was ripped apart. Some lucky few were destroyed in the aftermath of that explosion. The rest followed right after, when the thousands of Origin gods began ripping out the planes one by one.

Each part of a realm is valuable. Especially the divine plane and the planes. The divine plane contains the Authority of the Celestial Supreme while each plane contains Life crystals.

The Authority of the Celestial Supreme is useful to world gods and can be used as a substitute for world engines, while the Life crystals can be used as substitutes for world seeds to become world gods. So there was no way that the Ghastorix family would let go of any part of the realm.

The only part of the realm that wasn't affected by the invasion was the abyss. The demons didn't even know what was happening to the realm until it was too late to do anything about it. Then they had to fight for the right to evolve after the abyss was destroyed.

Ghastorix watched this happen without doing anything. His job is to suppress the Will of the realm until the whole realm has been excavated. Then he would rip out the heart of the realm. He did just that and only that. He didn't interfere in the affairs of the demons.

If he were an Origin god, he might have fought the demon gods. He can still remember his fights with demon gods as an Origin god. Other Supreme Origin gods couldn't fight them one- on-one but he could, and he would win too. His Supreme Law was that powerful. Nothing could stand in his way, and he had the backing of the void universe.

But now he has grown stronger, and he is on his own. He has gained power as well as knowledge. He knows he has too much to lose if he meddles with demons now. Each demon god is just a tame and living version of the corrosion he sees down below. They might be weak, and he might love fighting, but he knows better than to enter the abyss. After all, that is the closest point to that corruption.

Origin gods might think they are weak and they would be right. But they have the support of the void universe, so they are lucky in their own way. At the very least, they can't be corrupted by Chaos.

He thought to himself with amusement, "I guess that's what gives Legion the confidence to mess with a world ender. Unfortunately, they don't need the protection of the void universe to mess with CARNAGE. That one is not a true world ender."

The keeper of secrets has informed him of Legion's supposed hold on the first sage. It always makes him chuckle when he thinks about it.

It is because Legion is apparently carrying a bomb that can't explode and is using it to threaten someone. At least that's what the keeper of secrets thinks of the whole situation.

He shook his head, "Talk about a child wielding a power they don't understand or control. It is already impressive that they haven't destroyed themselves with it. Asking more from them won't help.

He knows that Legion is impressive, but he believes that they will continue to be pawns until they become world gods. That way, they won't die when the void universe refreshes, and they will be able to tell that CARNAGE doesn't have a lick of Chaos Blood.

Any world god worth their salt will be aware of the corrosion below and know that if CARNAGE had Chaos blood, the prison they built for it wouldn't be able to hold it. After all, Chaos is capable of corroding almost everything.

He can blame their mistake on being ignorant. After all, not many know that the reason world enders are so feared is because of their possession of Chaos blood.

He also won't blame them for not knowing that CARNAGE won't become dangerous until it is released. Anyone can be ignorant. But ignorance and weakness won't excuse them from being played about by a world god who wants to become an Usurper and a group of three world gods who want to take advantage of the situation.
