GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1553  Perks Of Immortality.

She said sincerely, "I truly do not have ill intentions." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Soverick snickered and said, "I wish I could believe that."

She continued, "You are not being entirely truthful either. What you have is more than one concept. Origin gods shouldn't have more than one concept, and yet you achieved it. Who is to say that I, too, can't have more than one concept? After all, if you can succeed, so can I." Soverick rejected her again, "I don't care if you can succeed. I am refusing your request." She tried another angle, "Would it change your mind if I swear not to reveal the information to anyone else and never to fight you?" "No, it wouldn't help." "Very well. I shall leave you be." She did leave him. Her avatar and true body moved away from him. He expected it since he had seen it before it happened, but he still felt surreal that it would work. He thought to himself, "Being an immortal has surely changed things. I find that I am liking it more and more." Then he resumed his journey. He didn't stop thinking about the encounter with her, though. Everything they said and did was reviewed in his mind over and over again. He kept coming to the conclusion that she had given up because he was immortal. The acquisition of immortality is more than a change in lifespan or the defiance of death. It also leads to a change in perspective. This perspective affects how conflict starts and how it ends. For example, if he could be killed permanently, she never would have taken his refusal without threatening to kill him or even going so far as to attempt it. But he can't be killed permanently, and she can't get what she wants with violence. With her concept and Supreme Law, it would be very easy for her to search the mind and memories of a living mortal or kill them to acquire their soul, which she will loot for the information she needs. But he is immortal, so his mind and soul are protected. It means any conflict she starts with him will not end with his death, and she will not get what she wants. So she gave up. He understands that the fact that she didn't fight him isn't because she didn't have bad intentions. It is just that she didn't have a choice but to give up for now. As for what she will do in the future, that is still uncertain. The source of his surprise is that this sort of restraint is new to him. Legion as a whole have not been immortal for long, and they haven't interacted with other immortals apart from stealing from them. The enemies they have had in the past, like Beelta, Helios' father, the fountain of life, and CARNAGE, have always threatened to kill them or attempted to do so. So it is a special experience to not fight with someone after refusing to give them what they want. It is an experience that the Tree Father didn't get from the Origin gods that attacked him for his secret. He said in appreciation, "We have some issues with the void universe, but immortality makes up for most of our grievances with it."

Aeternus asked, "What's not to like? Besides, if we don't like some rules, we just have to break them." That made Soverick chuckle. Possessing immortality is truly a great feeling for him. It feels great to have fewer worries in the world. Death has become a strange concept, not an immutable fact that they have to be afraid of. Life will remain peaceful for them as long as they are not sealed and as long as they don't mess with a world god. This feeling made him understand why some Origin gods, despite being weaker than the Tree Father, would look down on him and dare to attack him for what they wanted. Immortality has emboldened them.

This immortality is why Litori's ancestor gave up on forcing him. That and the fact that he has a power equivalent to a Supreme Law, so she can't force him. It is a good thing for him, but it also has its side effects. He, too, has faced some restrictions due to immortality. For one, Legion-7 can't turn Origin gods into vessels or infect their minds at all. He too can't use most of the time-related attacks he used to be able to use on transcendents and kings of law. This is because not only are Origin gods protected by their concepts, they are also protected by the law of order. So unless he can actually kill them, there is very little he can do against Origin gods. But he is not deterred. Soverick believes that they just have to find a way to break the support of the law of order. Then they might even be able to kill Origin gods permanently. That's for the future. Right now, his job is to find an attack point in the realm tree for Legion to take advantage of. Some of the other clones have gone to the Tyrant Realm through the void, but Legion wants to secure a point of access to the Tyrant Realm through the dungeons in the High Heaven Realm. So he went into the realm, inspecting every corner of it. He saw that beneath the layer of space of the realm is another layer of space. They seem close together, but they are very far apart. The two layers are moving closer together and fusing, so the distance between them will soon disappear. He observed critically, "It seems the spatial coordinates of the realm of high heaven and the tyrant realm are overlapping. It will take years, but it will happen." He is right. This overlapping in the space of two realms far away from each other is creating a battlefield between the two realms. It is a battlefield that he intends to take advantage of for Legion.
