GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Legion-7's refusal not only destroyed his plans to acquire information about their special reward, it also made it impossible for him to complete his deal with the great mothers.

She wanted Legion's weakness before the attack of the Phoenix race on the Stellaris plane and she was willing to pay heavily for it but he didn't have it. He couldn't even tell her if he had it. That will be breaking the rules of his position.

The best he could do was get her in contact with the first sage. The first sage told her something which made the great mother happy. She was happy enough to invest 3 great mothers in the attack on the Stellaris plane.

The first sage was also happy to acquire smuch-needed information about Legion-7 from the great mothers. Only he was not happy.

The good news is that he is not alone in that unhappiness. The invasion of the Stellaris plane by the dragons, phoenixes, and Stellos ended in failure so the great mothers becunhappy.

The great mothers also failed to ensnare Legion-7 through Salvini. She didn't actually contact Salvini to use her. She contacted the first sage who contacted Salvini. This led to Salvini offering Legion the deal about the information of a substance that can lead to his evolution.

The great mothers still haven't given up on Legion-7. She knows his identity but she also knows that she can't do anything to him as long as he remains in the protection of the SuprAlliance. But things will be different if Legion-7 leaves that protection and returns to the spiritual.

This is because Legion-7 seems to have lost his ability to becintangible. No one knows for sure but the first sage seems to be certain of it. The first sage deduced from the information that the hounds of the bloodline of justice acquired that Legion-7 can't evade attacks anymore or he wouldn't have been threatened by the lightning storm or the Celestial Supreme.

It is a long shot but it emboldened the great mother to try and nab Legion-7 in the Stellaris plane. They attacked the Stellaris plane but failed. They still didn't give up so they wanted to tempt Legion-7 with something that would make him return to the spiritual dimension.

Of course, the information about what can make Legion-7 evolve is real. The realm lord was truthful about it when he had first offered it to Legion-7. But since then, the object has found its way into the spiritual dimension where it is being guarded by the great mothers.

So Salvini wasn't lying about the information. But if Legion-7 had accepted the deal, not only would Salvini becsafe from Legion, but Legion-7 would also go to the spiritual dimension where he will find the great mothers waiting for them. If he can't becintangible anymore then he won't be able to escape from the great mothers.

All of these don't concern the realm lord much apart from the fact that the great mothers had promised that if they succeeded in nabbing Legion-7, they would reward him for linking her up with the first sage. As things are right now, it is unlikely that he will get that reward.

The great mother's reward aside, what he truly wants is the special reward that made Legion-7 becintangible in the first place. But the only inkling he has ever gotten about the special reward was the moment when Ragnarok began destroying the Lumen plane.

The system noticed a spike in Cosmic force around his tails.That was after the failure of his deal with Legion-7. It brought to light how much he missed with that deal and has firmed his intentions to acquire more information about it. Unfortunately, wishes are not horses.

He shook his head to remove the disappointment and instead thought to himself in anticipation, "It doesn't matter. I will get what I want soon. I will get everything and no one will be able to stand in my way."

The realm lord was deep in thought when Mother High Heaven spoke to him. "I am surprised that the encounter with Star Shatterer ended well. I remember her explosive temper very well so I expected a disaster."

Then she asked him, "Do you know that she was part of the forces that wiped out the ancient Suprbeasts so that their genes and ideology wouldn't contaminate the new SuprAlliance?"

He chuckled and replied. "I didn't know that but I am not surprised to hear it."

"As for the encounter, I knew what she and the SuprAlliance wanted. They wanted an advantage during the era of conquest. It is just their nature to feel superior and look for opportunities to be superior. I just gave them that opportunity so the star shatterer was appeased."

Mother High Heaven asked, "So her anger wasn't real?"

The Realm lord shook his head. "It was both real and a facade. To a world god, everything is about benefits. Her anger and threat would have been real if I had not appeased her. But it is also a facade because there was nothing for her to gain by going to war with me."

"I would be hurt and so will the realm, but it wouldn't improve the situation of the SuprAlliance. So it was more of a show. A dance of interests if you will."

Mother High Heaven spoke, "Anyways, it is a good thing that you let this end well. But I am still surprised that you let it end well after they threatened you."

She wasn't concerned about the reaction of the Star Shatterer. The realm tree of high heaven is a mid-grade world with the protection of the void universe. A world god can't do anything to her right now. Besides, they have offended a lot of world gods. What's one more?

She was more concerned about the realm lord's reaction to being hamstrung and threatened like that. The SuprAlliance was the one to offend him no matter how angry the star Shatterer looked. He is the one who should be angry for their intentions to interfere in the era of conquest.

He could have told the star Shatterer off because of that. It would definitely lead to bad consequences for the realm tree. The Star Shatterer might not be able to do anything against the realm directly but the SuprAlliance is not made solely of world gods. There are a lot of powerful Origin gods such as the one that can refine a whole plane into an army.
