Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1567: Magnificence Of A Realm.
Those are events for the future. In the meantime, Helios is devouring a star. To be more accurate, he is eating it. He isn’t so much using the law of devouring as forcefully taking solar mass from the star and taking it into his inner world.
The stellar mass is first swung around him in a loop that cools it down before ingesting it. Then it is passed on to Aeternus through Legion-7. So he is doing two jobs at the same time. The light he is producing is just a side effect of swimming in an ocean of plasma. It doesn’t count as a third.
It is not a pretty picture. The star is doing its work diligently. It is going around the realm while providing light and heat, like it was created to do. Helios, on the other hand, is stalking this diligent star like a thief. He is keeping a close distance from it as he steals its solar mass. He is more of a parasite or a bully than a devourer.
Some people have tried to interrupt him, but they have all been burned by the heat of the star whenever they get close to it. Helios, on the other hand, is not harmed by his proximity to the star. In fact, the star can’t harm him at all. This is because of his power over light and fire.
He is both a dragon of fire and light, and many other laws. That means he has immunity to fire and light.
And because he has the original dragon heart, he can improve this ability further with cosmic force. All it will cost him is cosmic force.
His manipulation is different from Legion-5’s in that he can use cosmic force with his words. This power is the origin of the dragon tongue and dragon magic. It is so powerful that it can contend with Supreme Origin gods. That is, as long as he has cosmic energy.
Helios is doing his work above while the Tree Father is doing his below. The Tree Father is currently rushing towards the abyss. It is where the target of his mission is, and he wishes he could get there quickly, not only because he wants to start his mission as soon as possible, but also because he is being chased.
Unfortunately, the Tyrant Realm is very large. It will take a long time for him to reach the abyss. It will only take him a maximum of an hour, but even that is too long when someone wants to kill him. It is a pity that he can’t teleport at all. So he has to cross the single largest landmass that he has ever seen.
What he saw along the way made him in awe of the realm. He said to himself, “A realm tree is very powerful. Fortunately, we have never offended Mother High Heaven, or we might not be here today to see this.”
It is difficult to truly appreciate the size of a realm when it is divided into many small, isolated spaces. It is at times like this, when they can see a sprawling landmass that extends as far as the eye can see, that one gets to appreciate the immensity of a realm tree.
By his estimate, the surface of the Tyrant realm is likely 10 x 10^18 square meters. Or 10 x 10^12 square kilometers. That’s 10,000,000,000,000 square kilometers, or 10 trillion square kilometers. It is a majestic sight to behold.
The power of a realm is something that is undisputed, but rarely is it ever displayed. Everyone agrees that the Will of the realm will beat any Origin god, even if they have a Supreme Law, if only for the fact that the Will of the realm is capable of suppressing every Origin god that enters their realm.
The suppression of Origin gods is like the suppression of a domain. One can imagine just how powerful the domain is, if it is large enough to cover the size of the realm. It is especially inspiring considering that Supreme Origin gods can’t be suppressed by domains, but they will be suppressed by a realm.
Even so, the full power of the realm has rarely been showcased. One of the good things about the era of conquest is that it has allowed the realm tree to show its full power and enlighten the ignorant masses of the likely consequences of offending the Will of a realm. It has also shown Legion how lacking they are if they are to go against a realm tree on their own.
Billions of immortals have invaded the Tyrant Realm, but it is still a long way from falling. And this is despite the fact that the Will of the Realm is currently indisposed. If the Will of the Realm was present and could wield its power, no Origin god could threaten it at all, regardless of their number.
Even now, in the absence of the Will of the realm, every Origin god is still suppressed. Currently, the clones can’t use each other as spatial beacons to teleport out or into the realm because of the lockdown of the realm.
The clones can still sense each other and can initiate the teleportation. But the difficulty of teleporting across space has increased so much that the energy requirements and the time it will take have rendered it impossible for them.
So in a way, not only is the whole realm a domain suppressing them, but it is also a seal. It is a poor seal in that the Origin gods can leave it and they can die within it. But they won’t have any memories of their actions in the Tyrant Realm if they die in it.
It is humbling to think that this is just a general realm-wide effect caused by the displeasure of the Will of the realm. If it were the targeted displeasure of the Will of the realm on them, then they wouldn’t be able to resist at all. They would be frozen like helpless prey before the might of the whole realm.
