GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1938: The Deal.



The head of the Overgod suffered some pain, but it was not much. The most important repercussion is that it had become powerless.

All of its power had been sealed, the enhancement from the void universe removed, and its authority rescinded. But that is nothing compared to gaining its freedom.

This confirmed that the Supreme was dead. If the lord of Madness were alive, the repercussions would be far worse than this. It would be so bad that it would wish for death.

The Overgod smiled and said, "Don't disappoint me."

Then it left.

The god of soul shook her head as she watched him leave. "WISDOM is truly something. He is not even here, and he still defeated this old guy."

The god of Power snorted and said, "It was not a defeat. It was just a successful persuasion not to fight."

She shrugged. "Call it whatever you want, but I bet you wouldn't have thought of it if you were alone. Instead, you would be looking for more power so as to defeat him in a fight."

The god of power didn't refute her even though she is only partially correct. It is not true that he wouldn't have come up with the idea to try and persuade the Overgod not to fight.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He is not stupid. He surely would have thought of it. But he wouldn't think it would work. He would think it is foolishness to stake the success of his plan on the mercy of another. So he would prioritize raw strength and power, as that is the only thing he thinks is reliable.

He didn't argue with her as he had more things on his mind to consider. Now that the Overgod has been placated for the meantime, it means he has overcome one of the three major obstacles to the success of his plan. So he has to start preparing for the other two obstacles.

One of those remaining obstacles is the void universe itself. It is going to be a very difficult obstacle to overcome, if only for the fact that the void universe is in possession of the item his true body needs to get stronger.

Unlike the overgod, he won't be able to weasel his way out of this with some words at all. This is even though he is a true child of the lord of Madness.

Not only does the void universe hate the lord of Madness and will therefore hate him too, but the void universe doesn't want to die, so it will do everything it can to stop him.

Fortunately, he has some time to prepare for their encounter now that the overgod has given up on his position. But before he can confront the video universe, he has to prepare for his fight with the Archons, the Usurpers, and the other guardians of the universe, like the overgod.

The Overgod is not the only caretaker of the void universe. But it is the strongest. There are still the watchers and the scribe. Unlike the Overgod, they were actually created to fill in the position. They were not powerful entities who were abducted and forced to work for the Lord of Madness.

Those entities will try to stop him at some point or the other. It could be soon or when he attacks the void universe at its weakest. They also won't be convinced with some words not to fight him.

Not even bribery will work, as they are willing to go down with the void universe. Fortunately, they are not as strong as the overgod. They are more like stewards, not guards. He wouldn't need to convince them not to fight him so as to get rid of them.

And of course, there is the hidden obstacle that is his sister and whatever she is planning against him. He is sure that she won't stop him from reaching the inheritance of the lord of Madness. But he is sure that she will stop him from getting it. So he has to be prepared.

There are just so many things to prepare for that he couldn't be bothered to argue with her. He returned to his work silently.

The god of soul also had a lot of preparations to do. Her main preparation, which is creating an entity independent of the void universe's power yet strong enough to contend with her brother, is going well.

She hasn't come to the void universe to fail. She didn't risk coming here just to return empty- handed. If she can't have something, then no one else should be able to have it. Besides, she has nothing to fear. Nothing in the void universe can harm her.

Legion was going through the new batch of data that Monarch High Heaven had sent. They have received many such from him over the 50 years that they have been working together. They have made leaps and bounds in their research thanks to him.

They were so impressed by his wealth of knowledge that they had to agree that there was very little in the void universe he didn't know about.

This made them curious about how he learned this much knowledge. After all, it was better to learn how to fish than to rely on others for fish. If one day the person giving them fish stops being generous, they will starve.

So they wanted to know how he came about so much knowledge, and they asked him how to know. All he said was, "I got it through my universal artifact, the system."

That put an end to that path of inquiry because it was a unique method that they couldn't learn. But that didn't mean they had given up on it. They just decided to find another alternative to acquiring knowledge.

They couldn't give up on acquiring more knowledge, not after they had learned so much from Monarch High Heaven. They were thirsty for knowledge before. Now they are dying to know more.

It is a literal death, not a metaphorical death. It is the process of creating a supreme law.
