Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1621: Settling Is Not An Option.
As fighting was raging in the Tyrant Realm, so was it raging in the High Heaven Realm. The only difference is that it was limited to the divine plane of the high heaven realm. Billions of Origin gods have been fighting on this poor plane for more than 100 years, so it has taken a beating.
Mother High Heaven has tried to repair it and keep it completely intact over the years, but she gave up after 70 years. She has become content with simply keeping the divine plane together so that it doesn’t fall apart. She doesn’t care if it looks shabby at all.
But shabby will be an understatement when used to describe the divine plane. Both the white ground and the black sky have cracked. There are cracks in them that lead to the void.
Mother High Heaven is preventing void energy from rushing into the realm, but she isn’t sealing the cracks anymore. This is to conserve energy, but it makes it so that one can step out of the realm through the cracks. That is, if they are not shredded by the spatial turbulence around the edges of the cracks.
Many people have died to these cracks. Maybe just as much as the number of people that died in the attacks that tore space apart and created the cracks in the first place.
Despite how bad things look and how dangerous the battlefield is, the fighting has not ended since it started. There has not been one moment of peace at all. The invaders have always been throwing themselves at the defenders, and the defenders have always tried their best to beat them back by killing them.
One can see through the scant few cracks in the ground of the divine plane to gaze upon the main plane below. That’s the best that the invaders have achieved after thousands of years of fighting. They can only see their goal from afar.
The defenders haven’t given an inch at all. They guarded the heaven’s gate tightly during the brief moments when the Tyrants managed to break the array of floating fortresses in the sky. All of the invaders attempts to gain access to the realm have been foiled.
Many people have shined like stars in this war, one of them being the clones of Legion. They have been targeted by their enemies many times because of it. It could be out of spite or with the goal of getting rid of them. Either way, none of their goals have been met.
It is not that none of the clones have not been killed. No, they have died several times because it is very difficult to preserve their lives in this kind of fighting without making themselves look like bigger targets.
Most of the times they died, they willingly sacrificed themselves to destroy the weapons and battleships of the invaders. So they have died a lot of times for contribution points. But they always return and are still fighting.
One of the clones is fighting right now. His whole body has become reinforced with liquid graviton, origin crystal, and dragon scales. His whole body is so hard and sharp that a single collision with an enemy is more than enough to kill that enemy.
This is all the power he is using. He is not using the Tree Father’s spark of power to boost their Supreme Power, but it is still rare for an enemy to be able to fight them for more than one second. So Legion was surprised to encounter their current opponent.
He isn’t using the Tree Father’s spark of power because it is busy refining the abyss of the Tyrant Realm. But this is not the only reason why he hasn’t been able to kill his enemy yet. His enemy is special.
This opponent is a ray of light. Their concept makes them the embodiment of light, so in their normal state, they are very fast and can produce attacks that can penetrate almost every type of defense.
Legion knows more than that. After all, they have been chasing this person for quite a while. This person has a weakness for almost every type of attack, except for physical attacks. They are fragile, and their form will be scattered once any type of spiritual or magical attack strikes them.
So it should have been very easy to kill them. Unfortunately, they are a Supreme Origin god whose Supreme Law can be used to overcome their weakness and acquire the strongest defense possible. With his Supreme Law, he transformed from a soft, fragile ray of light into a hard, sharp, golden spear capable of piercing anything and withstanding any damage.
If it were any other type of Supreme Origin god, using their Supreme Law to acquire the defense of the law of earth would rob them of their strength and attack power. But this Supreme Origin god, in his normal state, is fast and dangerous. They don’t need the Supreme Law to be fast and dangerous, so gaining Supreme Defense has made them faster, sharper, and more durable.
It is a case of a single Supreme Law granting its wielder nigh-supreme speed and nigh- supreme power, with Supreme Defense at the same time. It is something that Legion finds fascinating.
Legion-5 thought to himself as she chased his enemy, “While we can make any Supreme Law, it is best we make something that simultaneously enhances our natural abilities and fixes our weaknesses instead of focusing on just one.”
Soverick groaned just thinking about how difficult it is going to be to achieve something like that. But he didn’t complain, because settling for something mediocre is not an option.
It might have been an option when they didn’t know about it, but now that they do, they have to make it, and Legion-5 has to push this Supreme Origin god to the limit to see what he is truly capable of. Only when he is bored is he to kill the Supreme Origin god.
