GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Then again, it is not an invasion. After all, the base is part of the Mechanical Emperor's body. But the flame didn't go forward to help Legion-5. It stopped. Then it retreated back into one of the walls of the base.

The Mechanical Emperor didn't help because he didn't need to. The clump of light within Legion-5 crashed into the inner world successfully.

The Celestial of Light had said, "Success will be mine. I shall rise to..."

Then the clump of light was devoured. The Celestial didn't even know what happened. The only thing he could tell was that his divinity disappeared as soon as it entered the inner world. He didn't see what did it.

Legion-5's body stopped spinning immediately. His consciousness relaxed too and the fluctuations of divine power disappeared. A useless staff fell out of his body to the ground.

Legion-7 said, "What did I tell you? Your body is perfect for possession."

Legion-5 grinned. "It truly is."contemporary romance

"We succeeded. This means that you can assimilate the godhood of a great god without becoming a great god."

Legion-5 said to the Tree Father, "You heard that? Now make me a demigod. Make it the best demigod you can."

Legion-7 also egged the Tree Father on, "Put in the effort you would if you were going to love the demigod with all your heart."

The Tree Father couldn't delay anymore. The fact that Legion-5's body resonated perfectly with the divinity proved that his effort wouldn't go to total waste. So he said, "Fine. One top-notch demigod coming up."

Legion-5 declared, "Good. Next up is god hunting."

While Legion-5 was focused on planning to break a tenet of the universe, the plane was thrown into an uproar. He remained in his base without causing trouble. But the other Supreme Beasts who are focused on points are trying to turn the plane upside down.

They are not in the same class as him. None of them have dreams of breaking the law of the universe. They don't even know that it is possible. But that doesn't make them weak.

The Celestial of Light and Justice can testify to that while the onlookers of the plane can testify that they are not Supreme Beasts for nothing. Legion-5 is just a freak. He is an outlier. Not everyone can be like him but the rest of them are strong enough.

It took 3 Supreme Beasts to take down the plane. Now 99 Supreme Beasts are fighting a portion of the strength of the plane. They Supreme beasts are young and weak but the army is just 250 million in size. 250 million might seem large but it is not enough for all of the Supreme beasts to earn 3 points each. They can't buy a divine ability with 3 points so they all wanted to get more points out of the army.

The army of the Celestial of Light was attacked on all sides by the Supreme Beasts. His army was whittled down little by little. He tried to retaliate by using his vessels and some Sovereigns to resist but the Supreme Beasts worked together to resist their top forces.

They helped each other because they believed that it was their only chance to not only resist the Celestial but to also resist the Shadow of Despair in the future. The Celestial of Light helped all the Supreme Beasts to come together and form an alliance to resist enemies together. It is something that Legion-5 couldn't achieve.

The Shadow of Despair was too dangerous to resist so they didn't want to antagonize him. But the church of Light and Justice is not so dangerous. They can afford to band together and bully the church. Even if they were beaten back, they had a base to run to for protection.

The Celestial is not happy that he managed to achieve something that the Shadow of Despair failed to do. He tried to make the gods unite too but they refused to board what was clearly a sinking ship. So his church was beaten up and down from everywhere. He had to give up on his intentions to pressure Legion-5.

The once glorious army of justice and light retreated with their tails between their legs. 250 million soldiers were reduced to less than 100 million after weeks of fighting.

The army scattered in defeat before they reached the Shadow Of Despair's base. This happened after his divinity was devoured. So not only did the Celestial fail to possess Legion-5, but he also failed to pressure Legion-5 with his army.

Legion-5 didn't even participate in the war. Apparently, he was so powerful that he didn't have to do anything to put the Celestial of Light and Justice at a dead end.

Then the peace of the plane returned for another month. The plane was still reeling from the impact of the short war when something inconceivable happened.

In The Divine Plane.

A great god was relaxing in his divine plane when he felt a sudden spike in the amount of prayers to him.

"What is going on?" he asked in surprise.

There have been a lot of prayers recently ever since the grand war started. The prayers remained high even after the war ended. There was no more fighting but the repercussions of the fighting had begun to catch up to the people.

Food had become scarce and prices of goods and services had risen. People couldn't afford the things that they used to be able to. Many people became hungry. They needed money so they prayed to their god. It caused faith to rise in the plane.

But this spike in faith is different. The sudden spike in prayers of the faithful is strange. Something like this only happens during a plane-wide religious event or festival. Most of his believers will pray to him then. Faith will surge from their souls to him along with their expectations. But the spike of faith won't be this high because most of his believers are shallow believers.
