GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1523 Detective Work.

One method he tried to bypass the need for the target's permission was to offer Legion-1 a deal when he went to rescue him from the stone skin Origin gods. He didn't need Legion-1's help to build the matter to energy transmission and translocation pillars, but he still asked for it because he wanted to give Legion an opportunity to cross him.

The project he asked Legion-1 to help with was very important. If Legion-1 had tampered with it, then he would be within his rights to retaliate. If Legion had spilled his secrets to others, then he would have the right to check their secrets too. Unfortunately, Legion-1 didn't take the bait.

Then he tried again with Legion-7, but that ended in failure again. However, he still didn't give up. After all, their connection to the system still remained, and he had a sure way to bypass the restrictions after he became a world god.

That plan was his only hope of getting an inkling of what happened to Legion when they broke the law of the universe a second time. That hope is no more now that they have cut off the connection.

"The best thing I can do right now is trick them into betraying the realm, breaking their oath, or just capturing them and interrogating them."

-THE CHANCES OF THAT HAPPENING IS VERY LOW.

-LEGION HAS SHOWN THE RUDIMENTARY INTELLIGENCE NECESSARY TO KNOW NOT TO BREAK AN OATH MADE TO THE WILL OF THE REALM.

-CAPTURING THEM WON'T WORK EITHER BECAUSE YOU ARE THE REALM LORD SO YOU CAN'T CAPTURE THE ORIGIN GODS OF THE REALM INDISCRIMINATELY.

"I know that." He said with exasperation.

"Don't rehash my pain. Tell me something I don't know. Give me a solution."

-YOU ARE BEING SPIED ON BY AN ENTITY WITH A COSMIC SOURCE.

"Fuck!!! The bad news just keeps coming."

"Who is it now?"

-UNKNOWN.

He didn't expect to get an answer, as his system is not privileged enough to acquire that information, but he was still disappointed.

He muttered hopefully, "Here is to hoping that they don't interfere with my plans."

His system is not omniscient. The best it can do is make predictions with the information it has gathered. The rest of the deduction and inference making is up to him.

This is not the first time he would be spied on by someone with a Cosmic source, but the frequency of it has increased ever since Gehaldirah created clones.

There are three clones of Legion with powerful Primordials as ancestors, but he only knows of two that are on their way to becoming Usurpers. Of those two, only one of them has a clone trying to copy his original divine ability, so he was able to narrow down the identity of the peeper to Draco.

Even if he is wrong about the peeper being Draco, it has to be the ancestor of world beasts. It can't be the ancestor of Warrogs, as he doesn't have a Cosmic source, and Ragnarok wasn't trying to encroach on his connection with other Warrogs.

All of these make him certain that Draco is the one spying on him. Unfortunately, there is nothing he can do about it. If he can't contend with the void universe, then he can't contend with someone who succeeded in contending with the void universe and stole a Cosmic source.

So he did the only thing he could do. He pretended not to notice and minded his business. But then another notification rang in his mind.

-THE APPOINTMENT WITH THE FIRST SAGE IS IN THE NEXT 10 MINUTES.

He just groaned and sent out one of his clones to go and meet the first sage.

He complained to himself, "This had better be worth it."

He truly cannot afford any distractions right now. He has been extremely busy, with 100% of his capabilities employed in setting up the finishing touches to the era of conquest. He can make almost ten thousand clones, and he is already doing so just for the finishing touches.

Every clone is working nonstop while his main body is overseeing and controlling them. Letting one of them go for a few minutes is something he could afford to do at any other time, but he doesn't want to take any time off right now. Not when Legion is making progress so quickly and messing with his plans here and there.

The clone went into the void to meet the waiting white battle sage monkey.

"What's the deal?" He asked the first sage. "This must be very important, or you wouldn't come here with a true body. You have also been begging me for a meeting, so I am sure this is very important. What could make the great first sage so desperate?"

The first sage smiled and said, "How are you doing as a realm lord? I am sure it has its good parts, but I also imagine it has its bad parts. After all, you couldn't even hire someone else to do your dirty job for you. You had to watch your prey grow stronger impotently."

That comment hit his sore spot, so he frowned and urged, "What do you want? I'm a very busy man. If you just want to make fun of me, you can do that behind my back, not in my face. I am a true supporter of hypocrisy and backbiting."

With their probes over, the First Sage got down to business. He asked solemnly, "Do you have research on true Chaos? I am willing to buy it."

The realm lord's eyes narrowed dangerously. He said, "You are asking for something truly valuable. True Chaos is rare to encounter in any form that is not dangerous. I am probably one of the few in the void universe that has information about it. You better be willing to pay a high price for this or you won't get it."

The first sage scoffed, "What you have can't be that valuable if you, of all people, have it."
