Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1394: A Ruler Or An Usurper.

Others might find the phenomenon of the pressure assisting someone instead of trying to kill them strange but not this entity. This is normal to it. It is on a mission for the Void Universe so it is not strange that the Void Universe is assisting it.

It found its target after a few years of faster-than-light speed. This is because its target has hidden itself as far away as possible. But again, hiding is futile to it. It will always find its target as long as they are in the void universe.

A domineering Will smashed against the Protector from the target. The angry Protector didn’t bother to resist. It didn’t need to because the Will didn’t reach it.

The domineering Will veered off to its side. It is strange that such a powerful being would fail to hit something and worse still, fail to hit something with his Will, but it is so when any entity in the void universe tries to hit or harm the Protector.

The target spoke after he realized who it was that had found him.

“So it is you. What brings you here Overgod of rules?”

The Protector didn’t correct him about its title. He is not wrong to call it an Overgod. After all, it is truly at the top of the void universe in terms of power. It is over and above everyone.

The protector said to its target, “I have brought grave news.”

Its target still didn’t show itself but it was paying attention. It spoke from the darkness that it used to shroud itself, “Please, do tell.”

The two powerful entities began to converse in this all-encompassing and suffocating darkness. One of them is a single round object that looks like a head because of the indistinct face on it. It will have to be a very strange head because it has an irregular shape that is constantly shifting and possesses several indistinct faces on it. These features are all anyone can see of the Protector. The other entity participating in this conversation is obscured in the darkness. It is darkness different from the darkness of the void universe. The Protector can see through this darkness and can see the colossal creature hiding within it.

The Protector stated in a grave manner, “Draco. One of your descendants is about to go out of bounds.”

Draco wasn’t concerned.

“You don’t need to tell me about what they did wrong. You can remove them for their transgressions. I am done with them. They have outlived their purpose. You can do with them what you want.”

“No. This is far more than the breaking of the rules and I am not here out of respect to you. This concerns you too.”

Draco was intrigued.

“Is that so?”

“Yes, your status might be threatened.”

That made Draco laugh. He truly finds it funny that whatever his descendants are up to can threaten him.

“I am a ruler of the universe and I am about to complete my transformation to become an Apex being. How is my status threatened? And how can it be threatened by one of my crippled descendants?”

The Protector became angry immediately. It said with visible anger and disdain, “You are not a ruler. You’re an Usurper who stole what doesn’t belong to him. Just like you usurped power, someone else can usurp yours too. Is that not why you are hiding away?”

Its disdain was practically oozing at this point as it said, “Look at you skulking around and hiding like a thief. This descendants of yours has the greatest chance of getting what you hold dear above everyone else. And he can do so without finding you.”

The Protector had to do its best not to leave immediately. Just standing here disgusts it endlessly. It is in its nature to hate those that break the rules of the void universe or propagate Chaos but it can’t do anything against Draco because the ancestor of dragons has something that is protecting him.

The protector is a creature of rules so it has to abide by the rules of its existence. Sometimes it questions why the creator created the universe with the possibility of Chaos. It could clearly eliminate Draco and remove the Chaos he is propagating but it can’t do so because of the rules.

Still, it has never and can never question its identity and purpose. That’s why it will overcome its hatred and continue speaking with this dirty usurper. After all, there are some things that it can’t do because of the rules that someone like Draco can do.

Draco asked.

“What do you want of me?”

“I want you to eliminate it. I know that you will be preoccupied with your transformation so you might not notice this hidden danger. I am just here to inform you before it becomes too late. Consider it a favor so you don’t have to give me anything.”

Draco wasn’t happy because of the favor. He said without much enthusiasm, “I see.”

Consider it a favor so you don’t have to give me anything.”

Draco wasn’t happy because of the favor. He said without “I will leave now. I am very busy.” The protector said then he streaked away.

Draco was deep in thought.

“This must be very serious.”

He believes that this is very serious because anything that involves the Overgod can not be taken lightly. So he has to take this seriously. But the first thing he did was to move away from his current position.

He knows that the Overgod is unlikely to tell anyone of his position since it doesn’t like to propagate Chaos and that his position is constantly changing and cannot be easily found this far away from the Corridor of Worlds, but he still decided to move.

He can be called overly cautious but he has reasons to be cautious bordering on paranoia. He is in a critical situation where he cannot entertain any interruption.

It is as the Overgod said, he stole something from the void universe and is using it to increase his state of existence. This is a great thing but he doesn’t dare to brag about it to the world.

A/N: I used to understand the anger of the protector but he has gone too far this time around. He has become a snitch.
