Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1600: Time Is Money.
Aeternus made the demon gods arrive before the Tyrants could see the image of the abyss through the barrier and prepare for it. This ensured that the Tyrants were caught off guard, and the possibility of total realm destruction became a certainty.
But Aeternus couldn’t take full credit for this achievement. He muttered inwardly as he saw the events happening in the Tyrant realm through Helios’ eyes, “I am sure this is the main reason the realm lord offered the demon gods a deal. He might have made it look like he didn’t want the demons to betray the realm, but I am willing to bet it was to achieve a swift victory in the era of conquest.”
From the investigation that the tree father had done, he knows that the Tyrant race is a powerful race. Every inhabitant of the realm is at least at the titan of law level, while the top powers are at the Origin god level. The High Heaven realm had to remove the suppression of the realm and offer many benefits to get that kind of power.
And despite all of their abilities, the realm lord’s plans ensured that they had lost before the era of conquest started. Their reinforcement of Origin gods was cut off, while the demon gods that they are weak to had already been recruited before the fight.
Unlike the demons of the Tyrant Realm, who didn’t have gods to feed on or other races to eat, the demons of the High Heaven Realm didn’t have a race that took over the realm, stopping them from growing stronger. Not only are the demons and demon gods of the High Heaven Realm far stronger, but they are also more numerous.
Demons are known for their destruction. They don’t create or protect. But the demon gods of the Tyrant Realm were so desperate that they had to rear their own livestock. The Tyrant Race had suppressed them to that extent.
Unfortunately, that is not a good thing for the realm. Having a single superior race with many strengths is not as good as having many races with fewer strengths. This is because once the single superior race falls, then the realm will follow.
Aeternus said with melancholy, “The weakness of a single race has doomed the whole realm.” “Anyway. I better get to work too. I can’t let the others have all the fun.”
He was not attacked at all when he entered the divine realm. The Supreme Tyrants were far too busy attacking the other demon gods. All he knows is that the demon gods must be doing a lot of damage. This is reflected in the number of contribution points he is getting.
Mother High Heaven is rewarding him with 20% of all the points that the demons earn because he opened the barrier for them ahead of time. It is as they say, time is money, and the High Heaven Realm is short on time to defeat the Tyrant Realm. By bringing the invasion forward, he has increased the amount of time the High Heaven Realm has to destroy the realm.
He is earning all those points without doing much himself. And the other demon gods took the lead and distracted the Supreme Tyrants for him.
It is killing two birds with one stone. That’s why he didn’t close the hole he created in the realm rift. He wants all the demons to enter and farm contribution points for him.
Unfortunately, he has to pay the price for being late to the party. The divine plane is sealed, so he can’t leave easily. There are no Tyrants for him to use to leave.
This is a price he couldn’t avoid paying even if he had been the first demon god to enter the divine realm because he hasn’t fused with his energy, so he can only infect people with his Chaos energy, not himself. He couldn’t have used the Tyrants to leave the divine plane, even if they were around anyway.
If he wants to leave the divine plane, he has to leave by himself, not through a shortcut like other demon gods. So he took to the sky and flew towards the gate of heaven.
He knows where the gate of heaven is because the Tree Father passed through it when he entered the Tyrant realm earlier. This information ensures that he doesn’t have to roam around the divine plane, wasting time.
He thought to himself on his way there, “I wonder what kind of seal it is. I hope it is very strong so I can earn a lot of contribution points.”
The Tyrant realm had been caught off guard by the era of conquest, but they still managed to react after a while. One of the things the Tyrants did was to seal the divine plane. This made it so that the invaders that had lined up outside the realm and entered it to destroy it couldn’t gain access to the main plane anymore.
Legion-8, whom everyone has taken to calling The Pathogen, saw the effect from the void. He saw that the Origin gods who entered the Tyrant realm were roaming around the void, unable to do anything. Some even had to return to the High Heaven Realm, and some fought him out of boredom.
The seal of the divine means that invasion of the Tyrant realm can only happen through the dungeons. If the Tyrants can destroy the dungeons, they will be able to prevent the invasion entirely.
It is something they can do, seeing as they have total control over every inch of the main plane. No dungeon, no matter how small, can escape their notice. So it is a good plan. That’s why he should earn a lot of contribution points for breaking the plan.
Anyone who likes destruction like him would anticipate breaking the seal just for the fun of it. But he is also getting paid for it, which makes things better. It is a wicked hobby that pays.
