Chapter 1408 Economy Of Stealing.
Getting here is not the problem. Leaving is the problem. He is currently unnoticed. But that will change if he tries to take anything from the soul spring. While he can sneak past actual barriers without interacting with them and tripping their alarms, he can't take soul stones without interacting with the world. That means the waters of the lake will ripple.
The rippling of the lake will definitely be noticed. There are a lot of Origin gods with their divine sense and their eyes focused on the lake currently. They will know that someone has snuck in once he makes his move. VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
This won't change even if they use illusion to deceive their perception. It is because while they might succeed in hiding the fact that the lake has been touched, they won't be able to hide the fact they have used illusion.
The concept of Origin gods protects them by resisting other concepts. So they might succeed in fooling an Origin god but they won't be able to keep them ignorant of that action.
Their concept will sense the activity of another concept on them and the Origin gods will know that they have fallen into an illusion. So either way, they won't be able to avoid informing the Origin gods that they have made a move.
Legion-unity replied after thinking for a while. "The alternative is to use the advantage of stealth to attack the guards first. But that's a bad idea."
Legion-1 nodded. "We are here to steal, not to fight."
Stealth will surely give them an advantage if they decide to get rid of the guards first, but it will waste their time and make it more difficult to steal and escape with what they have stolen.
So it is better to let bygones be bygones when you catch a thief. The thieves will also pay to be pardoned. It is a lesser amount than they would need to resurrect. This way, it is a win-win for both sides.
You will earn money from thieves as long as you are strong enough to protect what is yours and thieves will be willing to take the risk to steal as a kind of investment or gamble.
This dynamic has created a new type of economy based on thievery. This is why Legion is not afraid of being caught. They will simply have to pay fines and then make the deal they came for in the first place.
Legion-1 is very strong but he still chose to sneak in. He doesn't have a supreme law yet so only those with Supreme laws can beat him.
There is none around that he knows of but he didn't attack the soul spring brazenly because he is outnumbered. After all defense on home ground is easier than attacking.
As things are, he would be uncertain of escaping stealing if he was alone. But the presence of Legion-unity has increased their chances of escaping.
The two of them regarded each other. They look like mirror images of each other. They are featureless like Supreme Beasts. They don't have eyes, nose, mouths, ears, or anything. They simply look like white crystal statues with two arms, two legs, one tail, and two blue horns.
But then they shared a grin and their features began to change. They changed but there is still very little difference between them. They look exactly alike. They are both armored in a sealed and scaled black material of Liquid graviton. Even their tails are armored.
The similarities between them are extensive. They both have four eyes with purple pupils and black sclera. They both have a crown of interlocked black horns around the two prominent and longer blue horns on their heads. They both have runes etched on their scales.
