Chapter 1642: Four Is The Best.



GREED just can't trust the realm lord, knowing the things it knows. First, the realm lord made a show of uniting the abyss with the realm through the abyssal coalition. It was not a mere show for others to see. It was a believable show that also had a useful purpose.

The demons of the abyss couldn't betray the realm after the oath, and they are doing well in the Tyrant Realm, helping the High Heaven realm win this era of conquest. Talk about killing two birds with one stone. But the realm lord didn't end there.

The realm lord used the demons to create a traitor that can betray the realm as a trap for his enemies to fall into. That makes the third bird killed with just one stone throw.

One might consider this scheme not to be elaborate or far-fetched. After all, the realm lord knew that he had many enemies. It is a straightforward plan to dig a pit for them to fall into by creating a double agent. But as someone deeply involved in this scheme, GREED is certain that the pit that the realm lord dug is deeper than it looks.

GREED is not sure since Monarch High Heaven didn't say so, but it believes that the real trap is if it turns into a triple agent. That is, if GREED were to somehow become the traitor it claims to be, the real trap will spring up around it and whoever it decides to work with.

It is better to have something and not need it than to need it and not have it. So GREED is not comfortable having two plausible sources of opportunity to become a world ender. It must have three for it to feel any amount of confidence.

It is best that it gets four. That way, even if the realm lord makes a move against it that can kill four birds with one stone, it will be able to preserve its life. That's why it is going to target the divine spark clone of Legion as soon as it appears and also not give up on swindling the Tyrants out of a world spark.

GREED went about doing its job, thinking its identity was secret. But there are some entities that can't be deceived so easily. One of them is the first sage, of course. The first sage already knew about the meeting with the Supreme Tyrants before it happened.

There are others watching the proceedings of the era of conquest who are not fooled either. Some of them came for the realm lord, while others came hoping to catch a glimpse of Legion.

No world god in their right mind wants to get too close to Legion. They know that they are on their own right now. If something threatens their lives, they will have to defend themselves against it without the help of the void universe, so they were cautious. But that didn't stop them from trying to capture Legion.

One of the world gods who knew about GREED's identity and Legion's location was the keeper of secrets. She will know a traitor once she sees one, and she will know where the large vessel of cosmic energy is hiding in the void universe as long as it is near her.

That large vessel of Cosmic energy shifted from being Helios to being the Tree Father. Cosmic source made them very easy to spot. It was like identifying a diamond in a pan of sand. She had been keeping track of the position of the Tree Father, so she saw it when Legion committed suicide and when the first sage found them.
