GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Tanc830,428,723C left the divine plane with a swagger. He was literally in a pack of hungry and angry lions but they just watched him go. It is because while they are lions, he is a dragon.

Legion-5 said, "You must have fused with a dragon heart."

Tanc830,428,723C didn't confirm or deny it. "Why do you think so?"

"You do not have a Supreme law and yet you could match the Celestial Supreme in the divine plane. Plus you exuded psychic pressure which dragons are known for."

Tanc830,428,723C laughed. "That's a good observation. You are wrong about something though. It is not that I don't have a Supreme law. I just didn't use a supreme law."contemporary romance

Legion-5 exclaimed. "Oh. That's my mistake."

He doesn't think he made a mistake. He knows for a fact that Tanc830,428,723C doesn't have a Supreme law because he knows what to expect when someone has a Supreme law and he can sense it.

But there's no reason for him to be adamant about it seeing as he is just a child. So he admitted to his mistake. However, he asked a trick question. "If you didn't use a Supreme law, what did you use to display that kind of power in the divine plane?"

He asked because he always thought only Supreme laws, divine power, demons, and dragons could operate within the divine plane. He didn't sense Supreme laws, divine power, or demonic power from his mentor so he would like to know if the Supreme Alliance have found another source of power independent of the law matrix.

Tanc830,428,723C laughed. "You are not wrong about your conclusion. I was just teasing you."

Legion-5 clapped in excitement. "So I was right."

"Yes, you were right. I fused with a dragon's heart. It is one of the great divine abilities after all. It was the first divine ability that I fused with. Everyone that participated in my rite of passage wanted it but only a few could get it."

"I am glad that you could guess that. You also asked some intelligent and interesting questions along the way. You must have spent some time studying. That's good. It seems your chances for a decent performance in the rite of passage are not totally hopeless."

Legion-5 said with modesty, "I did study hard."

He actually did. He devoured all the knowledge that he could get his hands on. So that statement can be verified as true by his mentor.

Tanc830,428,723C said seriously, "Knowledge is good but it is not the same as wisdom. For example, what are the two types of dragon hearts that we can fuse with?"

"There are two types. The first is the pre-origin. It is good for its high compatibility with other divine abilities. The second one is the post-origin dragon heart. It is good for its power but it is highly selective and not compatible with other divine abilities."

"That is knowledge. Now this is wisdom. Which one did I fuse with?" Tanc830,428,723C.lights

Legion-5 thought to himself, "This guy is trying to trick me."

But he answered after some time to think. "You used the post-

origin dragon heart."

"Why do you think so and which alignment did I fuse with?"

"I believe you fused with the post-origin dragon heart because your attacks are very powerful. If it is post-origin, then you must have fused with the fire alignment which is the heart of a red dragon. That is why your fire attack is so strong. I bet it is why you are called Volcanic Fist."

Tanc830,428,723C chuckled. "I am an Origin god. Whatever dragon heart that I picked has obviously fused with the other divine ability so it is not clear why my divine ability makes my fire attack so powerful. You won't be able to determine why it is so strong unless you know which other divine abilities I fused with."

Legion-5 asked the most important question. "So was I right?"

Tanc830,428,723C sighed but admitted. "Yes, you were. I did fuse with the heart of a red dragon. But it was a lucky guess on your part. You had a 50% chance of getting it right. It is clear that your deduction process is not why you got it right."

Legion-5 said smugly, "But I was right."

"Forget that. It is not the point I was trying to make. I was trying to show you the difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is great but unless you are able to apply knowledge from various fields to solve tricky real-life problems, then it isn't wisdom."

"The answer you should have given me is that it is impossible to know which heart I fused with unless you know all the divine abilities that I fused with. That's wisdom not the repetition of the knowledge you have."

Legion-5 accused, "So you were trying to trick me."

"I was.". His Mentor admitted it. "Don't be surprised by it. Almost everything in the world is a trick. Nothing is as clear as black and white. Nothing is what it seems at a glance. It is something that you can only learn with experience. Experience will give you wisdom and you will be able to identify the tricks in tricky situations with wisdom. Do you understand me?"

"Yes, I understand." He said but inwardly he snickered. "You are trying to trick me but I have already tricked you."

He knew that he was being tricked and he knew the correct answer to that question. But he didn't state it. He didn't state that the information available was not enough to make a correct and informed assessment of what dragon heart he fused with. Saying it would have made him look too smart for his age.

It would surely have impressed Tanc830,428,723C but it might also make him suspicious of his "genius" charge. So Legion-5 decided to look subpar. It is all part of his plot to trick everyone into thinking he is just an above-average young Supreme beast.
