GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1915: Mixed Signals.



Eventually, he reached the universal artifact and was able to touch it.

Unlike last time they had made contact with the incomplete universal artifact, it tried to push into him as soon as he made contact with it. It was eager to fuse with him, and he didn't need to wonder why.

He muttered playfully, "She said she would resist with all her might. But she is practically latching onto me as soon as I touch her. What a tease sending me mixed signals."

He was joking about it, but it was a serious matter. It is clear that she intends to fight to the death. That's why she is showing so much enthusiasm to invade his existence.

He didn't reject this invasion. He allowed it to happen. What they expected to happen happened. Green Vine screamed out in pain soon after making contact with him.

Her cry of pain was with millions of voices. It was far louder than the cry of pain that their recent benefactors have made before giving them things.

Domain gods would feel inferior about their performance if they heard this cry. Aeternus is sure of this.

He is also sure that she is capable of so much more. So he poured as much chaos energy into the universal artifact as it could bear without breaking.

As a spiritual entity. She has one clear weakness, and that is Nether Waters. They don't have Nether Waters, but they have something much better.

As their "ancestor," it is just right that they give her the best they have. So he continued administering doses of chaos energy despite her pleas for him to stop.

Legion-7 joked, "What a humble person. She doesn't want us to use up our chaos energy on just her. She thinks we are going to run out, so she wants us to stop."

Legion-4 sighed and said, "There are not many such kind people in this world."

It is more like she was hoping that they will run out of chaos energy. Unfortunately for her, they have more than enough to spare for her. Chaos energy ripped through her consciousness despite the massive quantity and size of it.

She quickly put away any plans to invade his existence. She just couldn't be bothered to care about that when her consciousness was fracturing.

In fact, she wanted to pull the universal artifact away from him. But he held on to it tightly and refused to let go. He force-fed her chaos energy like she was an unruly baby that didn't want to eat her nutritious vegetables.

He didn't stop when she couldn't cry anymore. He continued breaking down her mind until he was sure that she wasn't pretending. Only then did he allow the universal artifact to fuse with his existence.

The Universal Artifact slowly sank into Legion-3. Then Legion-7 immediately engaged with Green Vine within it.

This was what she asked for earlier. She was right when she said they would damage the universal artifact if they planned to remove her from it by force.

They have already damaged it, but the damage they have done is currently repairable. Anymore and the universal artifact might be destroyed.

So they have to give her advice a shot if they still want to be able to use the universal artifact. However, now that they are ready to fuse with her, she isn't willing to put up a resistance.

Her performance was honestly shameful. She promised so much and delivered so little. She literally let Legion-7 steamroll her.

It was a slaughter fest. She stood no chance at all. If anything, she was dying too fast. Legion- 7 didn't like that at all.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Chaos energy and Legion-7 had formed a tag team on her. Chaos energy was already enough to destroy her; Legion-7, who had a world fragment at his beck and call, was just overkill. So she was dying faster than Legion-7 could absorb all of her memories and knowledge.

They had to make the Chaos energy fall back so that Legion-7 could ravage her completely. And ravage her he did. He was done with her in ten minutes.

They still lost a lot of memories and knowledge. But fortunately, his progress was fast enough to prevent irreparable damage to the Universe Artifact.

Legion-7 gained control of the incomplete universal artifact and sent it to the Tree Father for repairs. Meanwhile, Legion feasted on the memories of Green Vine that they had acquired. They learned about her origin. They saw how she died. They knew how she survived all alone by hanging between the barriers of both dimensions, being neither alive nor dead. They also learned about her deal with Monarch High Heaven to help him kill Mother High Heaven. They were surprised to find out that she was indeed their ancestor. But what shook them to the core was the knowledge that Monarch High Heaven was dead and that someone else had taken his place. It was something they didn't expect at all.

But they shelved that knowledge in favor of diverting divinity and cosmic force into the incomplete Universal Artifact. Then the Tree Father made it fuse with their first world fragment.

Actually, he made it fuse with Legion-1 since he was the one in charge of their Origin. This made it fuse with the world fragment since it was already part of their body.

The changes it brought to them were instant. The universe artifact spread throughout their existence like roots. These roots caused them to enter the state of partial third-stage unity.

It was the same state they had entered when they defeated the amalgam of the tyrants in the tyrant realm. But this time, Aeternus, Helios, and the Tree Father don't have to meet up and physically fuse anymore to enter that state.

What's more, the power they gained was also transferred to the other clones. It meant that all the clones could use the power of the partial third stage now. This power changed them beyond what they thought was possible.
