Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1521: Jealousy And Hoarding.

The mark of sin can also lead to the creation of a demon god which is an equivalent of a Supreme Origin god and even create world enders which are the equivalent of world gods. When you consider that each abyss can create one even if it is destroyed, the full power of the true law of Chaos comes into view.

That’s just an estimation of the power of true Chaos. It pales in comparison to Draco’s personal experience of the power of true Chaos. Only those who have gone beneath the abyss to find the source of sin energy will experience the power of the blood of true Chaos. He has done that, so he can only calm down whenever he gets angry and jealous of the shard of power in Legion’s possession.

So all he will do is watch as Legion weaves the law matrix for their law fragment. He will remain calm, but he can’t stop being jealous though. The fact that he can’t take what they have without putting in a lot of effort and risking what he already has is making his jealousy even more intense.

The covetousness of dragons came from him. They like to hoard things, and so does he. Looking at something good and not being able to take it is like torture to him.

He complained about it endlessly with intense jealousy, “It is because you have the shard of power that you can afford to mess with true Chaos. But I don’t have the shard of power, so I can’t mess with true Chaos. That means I can’t afford to mess with you.”

He wants the shard of power so much. He would want it even if it were useless because of his hoarding addiction. He would want the shard of power just for the fact that it is something created from a powerful material that came from outside of the void universe.

He knows that the material is called the Origin Flames, but he doesn’t know what it is apart from the fact that it was used to build the void universe. That’s all the void universe knows about it, so that’s all he can know about it. Even so, he wants it badly.

He might get to know more about it if he had left the void universe. He could have left the void universe as a world god, but he didn’t because there was still a lot to be had in the void universe. A lot of world gods haven’t left for that reason either.

Plus, the world outside of the void universe is unknown, while they are behemoths in this universe. Leaving the void universe is like leaving their comfort zone for the unknown. It is a gamble that most are not willing to take.

He decided to stay in the void universe because of his cautious nature. Fortunately, his time was not a waste either since he was able to create a race and yoke their spiritual power together using the dragon spirit, and then used their combined power to wrestle and usurp the cosmic source from the void universe.

It is a worthy achievement, but the cosmic source pales in comparison to the shard of power. He doesn’t even know what the shard of power can do, but he still wants it badly.

“Maybe I should just stop looking. Gazing at something I can’t get is not good for me. It might make me do something I might regret.”

But he didn’t stop looking. The metaphysical web that Legion was weaving was becoming more and more complete as he watched. He was only distracted momentarily when the new Legion-8 was born.

He had to shake his head at that.

“This Legion is getting out of hand as I watch. No wonder the Overgod is scheming against him.”

Then he grinned in anticipation, “I am looking forward to his fight with the universe. It will be quite the show to watch.”

He was truly concerned for the void when he saw the new clone. It was created from a relatively harmless race that one would call a viral disease. They are like other viral diseases in that they parasitize other races and divide themselves for reproduction.

If there is anything unique about them, it will be their ability to evolve. It makes them capable of mutation, which gives them the necessary adaptation to infect and parasitize almost every type of race.

They have only one weakness, and that is that they are very weak. Being weak is their weakness, so they can be killed easily. They can’t infect strong creatures because they are weak, so they are considered harmless.

But Legion cultivated and bred them in the direction of creating a hive. This hive functions like a fungus. It is a plant in a way, but it needs to parasitize a tree to maintain its body, and the tree has to be strong enough to meet the energy requirement for the amalgamation that is the main body.

They can’t parasitize such a strong tree because they are weak, so the special breed that Legion created would have died out in nature. But these weaknesses are nothing to Legion who has a life tree clone. They were able to create a body for the clone to reincarnate in and gestate fully.

This body was originally prepared for Legion-7 as an alternative to possess since he didn’t have a durable body. But it became useless after Legion-5 and Legion-7 fused. Now it has been repurposed for the new clone.

Draco can already picture how terrifying their creation would be once it unifies with the Legion. It makes him concerned for the universe, but he is not going to join in the struggle because it doesn’t concern him.

He and the universe are different. He doesn’t need the void universe to survive so he can bear to watch it burn. There’s nothing the Overgod will say to him to make him join in that conflict. He will not be fooled, like last time.
