Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1601: No Fun For The Wicked.
He found the seal quickly. It was at the center of the divine plane. It is equidistant from the realm rift, so no matter the direction he comes from, he will need to travel the same distance to reach it. But he will only find it if he moves in a straight line in its direction. Any other way, and he will go around in circles.
No one attacked him on the way, so he had to lament, “The Tyrant race is smart and powerful, but they have lost the power of diversity.”
Apart from the fact that the Tyrant realm doesn’t have different races to strengthen their defense against the demons, there are also no gods in the divine plane to fight the demon gods and keep them here. A single divine plane was able to keep CARNAGE from invading a plane in the High Heaven Realm, so the importance of gods is clear.
But the Tyrants killed all of the gods. Now Aeternus can only imagine how glorious it would have been for him to destroy the gods blocking his way. He would have grown stronger from doing so, and he would have also earned contribution points.
It is truly a loss to him because he can estimate the number of gods that a large realm like the Tyrant realm would have been able to produce. Taking the High Heaven realm as an example, even if there’s only one god per plane, there would be 100,000 gods to defend the divine plane.
One god per plane is obviously too small. If there were an average of 10 per plane, there would be 1,000,000 gods. If all those 1,000,000 gods or more were defending the divine plane, the Tyrants wouldn’t have to defend it themselves, and the best the demon gods would have succeeded in doing is gaining access to the Tyrant Realm after a thousand years of fighting. They might even manage to tempt some people in the realm into becoming their servants. But it wouldn’t have been easy for the demon gods to gain access to the Tyrant realm. Unfortunately, the Tyrants wiped out the gods, weakened the demons who could have been their allies, and then provided the perfect route for the demon gods to enter the realm. Their ability to connect to their land and draw power from it has undone them. It led to their need for conquest, and now it will lead to their demise.
The Tyrants infected everything and everyone. The demon gods infected them there by infecting everything and everyone. As for hardworking demon gods like him, he has to head to the gates of heaven and do the work that all the demon gods ought to do together. What’s worse is that he has to do it without someone jumping out to be his snack.
The seal was also undefended when he found it. All he can see around it is a white plain, and above it is the pitch-black sky.
He wasn’t surprised by the lack of defense because staying in the divine plane right now and defending it is like defending the gate of your house while your wife is being raped. It is a waste of time for them to do so. The best decision is to go and kill the rapist. Or at least try to kill the rapist.
He smiled just thinking about it. He thought to himself, “Let’s make this an orgy. After, there’s love in sharing, and the more, the merrier.”
The demon gods are violently raping the Tyrant realm right now, but he intends to make things even worse for them through the gates they left unguarded. He intends to make it a bad decision not to stop him from reaching the gate of heaven.
The demon kings of the High Heaven Realm were the first to come up through the realm rift. They came up to find emptiness. But they were able to catch a glimpse of the demon god of Chaos, so they chased after him.
This led to a throng of demons walking on the divine plane as if they were on a pilgrimage. It is strange because demons don’t go on pilgrimages. It is stranger still because even if they do go on pilgrimages, it won’t be in the divine plane. It would be somewhere they are not in danger of being attacked.
Aeternus ignored them and focused on the seal. It is a circular area of raised ground. It is also transparent, so he can see the main plane down below through it.
He said, after some observation, “This is going to be a little tricky.”
The gates of heaven are sealed by a seal jointly created by 100,000 Supreme Tyrants. In terms of quality, it is not nearly as powerful as the barrier blocking the realm rift. But in terms of quantity, it is several times more powerful than the barrier of the realm rift.
The gate of heaven is a round hole in the white ground of the divine plane. It is the only passage between the divine plane and the main realm for foreigners and invaders of the realm.
Inhabitants of the realm don’t need to take it. They can pass through the white ground of the divine plane without resistance. As for him, he must pass through the gate of heaven, so he must overcome the seal on it.
The seal itself is translucent and cloudy. Its surface is flickering with tiny white lights. These white lights are the 100,000 individual threads woven together to form the barrier.
He created a Chaos avatar to attack the barrier. The white motes of light flickered and shined brighter as the avatar smashed into the seal.
Some of the motes of light went out, but the seal didn’t break because there were still more that the attack didn’t destroy. Then the ones that went out came back on. They kept the light intensity and resistance of the seal constant despite the barrage of attacks from the Chaos avatar.
