GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1560: Negotiations.



Legion-8 didn't believe it, so he asked, "Why?"

The Supreme Beast explained, "This is because the Supreme Alliance has decided not to hunt you. But they didn't forbid anyone in the Supreme Alliance not to act against you for their personal interests."

Legion-8 was still suspicious. He said, "That can't be true. This doesn't sound like the overbearing Supreme Alliance that I know."

"It is true. The Supreme Alliance is not happy with you for using them, but you didn't deceive them for nothing. Legion led us to the home plane of dragons and helped us destroy it. So in a way, it was a transaction, and you fulfilled your end of the bargain."

He asked about the reason why the Supreme Alliance was after him in the first place. "What about the dragon heart that they wanted?"

"They have decided to let that go for now because you are not easy to deal with. Even the powerful dragon king couldn't kill you. The only way to corner you currently is with the power of a world god, but the dragon heart is useless to world gods."

Legion-8 understood why Legion had been enjoying peace recently, despite the number of people that they had offended. It turned out that the Supreme Alliance was wary of the dragon king.

If the dragon king couldn't do anything to Legion, then the Supreme Alliance would be more helpless against them. And if the dragon king hasn't given up yet, then by trying to take something from Legion, the Supreme Alliance might offend the dragon king.

Of course, this would not be so if the Supreme Alliance had not decided to go after the Realm Lord and declared the mission publicly. They did, so this excuse doesn't sound believable to Legion-8.

He doesn't believe what the Supreme Beast said about the Supreme Alliance being understanding and reasonable. He would rather believe that there is just too much at stake and too little to gain for the Supreme Alliance to go all out after Legion now that they are immortal.

What he said about the dragon heart not being useful to world gods is true, though. It is just that powerful beings would rather see for themselves if it is useful or not rather than give up without putting any effort into verifying the claims.

The combination of their caution and unwillingness to give up is why the Supreme Alliance is not stopping other Supreme Beasts from making moves on Legion despite being afraid themselves. They are just testing the waters to see if they should get involved.

Legion-8 finally spoke after giving it some thought. "I understand. I do have a method to become world god without a Supreme Law. But your price for it is too little. I want more for it."

The Supreme Beast asked, "How much more?"

"Give me nine sets of realm hearts complete with world sparks."

The first Supreme Beast said, "That's too much. You're asking for the value of nine realms and the resources and time needed to subdue them."

The second one also joined in, "You are playing with us even though we approached you with sincerity."

"Don't say that. I am very sincere. 9 sets of realm hearts, and you can have it."

The Supreme Beasts communicated amongst themselves before speaking to him. "Alright. We will consider your proposal and get back to you when we decide on what to do." "We will leave now."

Legion-8 watched them leave just as they said they would. All four of them left, but he didn't relax at all. His wariness was proven to be correct when another group of Origin gods approached him.

They remained hidden far from him and didn't approach him, but he could see them, and he couldn't dismiss their presence as a coincidence because they were Supreme Beasts.

He chuckled to himself and said, "I knew this wasn't over."

It was far from over. Another group came to make two groups that are beseeching him. Then a third came, and a fourth. Their numbers increased rapidly as Legion-8 watched.

It couldn't be a coincidence that some Supreme Beasts found him, only for many Supreme Beasts to come and surround him. It is particularly odd that they are surrounding him. They didn't just appear around him. They took up positions to box him in.

Legion wasn't surprised by their presence, and they could guess what these people were planning to do to him even without Soverick's eye. It is because it is a common behavior among immortals.

Whenever immortals want to do business with anyone, they will first try to steal what they want from that person. It is a test to see if that person has enough strength to keep that valuable thing and is worthy of making demands from them.

It is true that the Supreme Alliance is wary of him and does want to make the deal for the secret from him honestly. But that doesn't mean they are not going to try and see if they can't get it out of him forcefully. It is especially important to try and steal the information, seeing as the price to pay for it legitimately is so expensive.

It is unlikely to be a spur-of-the-moment decision, either. They know what they are doing and are informed about him, seeing as they didn't attack Legion in the realm of high heaven. They know that Legion can teleport away, so they waited for him to come to the Tyrant Realm, where he is suppressed, so that he wouldn't be able to escape.

They were also cautious in that they probed Legion first to see if he had what they wanted. The first probe was the ancestor of Litori. Legion still can't figure out how she is related to the Supreme Beasts, but they are certain now that they are working together.

Legion-8 thought to himself, "Soverick was right. This sneaky battle sage monkey is truly a criminal. She is the worst kind of criminal too. She can't be killed and she can always identify

us."
