GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

THE START OF VOLUME 4: SCHEMES AND PLOTS.

The Virut plane has changed drastically since the destruction of the divine plane. A new era has started. It is called the era of Origin energy. According to ancient seers, this is the last era that a plane will undergo. The era of Origin energy is similar to the era of Origin waters that occurred immediately after the creation of the plane. Origin waters brought mana to the plane just like Origin energy has come to the plane. The seers believe that either the plane becomes more than a plane or it is destroyed.

The plane doesn't look like it is heading for destruction currently. Quite the opposite, the plane is flourishing. It is growing stronger and its economy is prospering. The availability of Origin energy in the atmosphere means that normal families don't need specially built cities to have access to Origin energy. It has boosted the production of transcendents in the plane.

Origin energy in the plane also means that transcendents don't need to go to the ancient battlefield anymore to get access to laws. Some of them are even returning to the Virut plane. The plane is smaller than the ancient battlefield but it is safer too. The cutthroat competition of the ancient battlefield is absent and one doesn't need to fight for every inch of the land anymore so the plane is a better substitute.

Kings and lords of law are coming back to the Virut plane. Even those from other planes are coming to the Virut plane as an alternative to the ancient battlefield. The absence of the divine plane means anyone can bypass the planar portal and enter the plane through the void between planes.

The lack of protection from the divine plane is a serious security problem but the racial council of the plane has proven itself to be more than capable of handling the sudden rise of immigrants. The plane patrol that they set up with flying fortresses protects the plane and prevents outright destruction to the plane.

Everything has been going generally well. The people coming from other planes and the ancient battlefield also brought with them novelties be they economical or cultural and are enriching the Virut plane. The economy of the Virut plane is being enriched and it is prospering.

Demons have stopped attacking even though the plane is still open for attack. No high-rank demon in its right mind wants to attack a plane like the Virut plane. Even demon kings stay clear of it. The fact that the demons couldn't eliminate the gods but the inhabitants of the world removed their gods means that the inhabitants are more terrifying than their gods and also more terrifying than the demons.

The influx of new powerhouses has not helped their chances either. The Virut plane has become stronger with more transcendents, lords of law, and kings of law coming into the plane. Any demon high-rank demon that enters the Virut plane right now is hunted for research or sport.

The absence of demons has not made the plane peaceful though. All is not well with the Virut plane. You would expect that the availability of Origin energy will reduce the conflict for resources among its inhabitants but it has only increased it. Transcendents, lords of law, and kings of law can now fight to their hearts' content without fear of running out of Origin energy. So any little conflict can quickly escalate into a full fight. Things get worse when the conflict is not little when it first started.

The production of natural resources spurred on by Origin energy like Origin stones has provided the very eager fighters with Important reasons to fight. Origin stones are crystallized Origin energy. They contain a lot of it which can be easily accessed all at once instead of slowly siphoning it from the environment. It is a wonderful storage of Origin energy for instant replenishment of power. A sort of consumable battery for those that can use it.

Then there's the matter of concentration of Origin energy. Origin energy isn't evenly distributed throughout the plane. The source of Origin energy is the tower of trials and it spreads out from there. So the concentration is higher the closer it is to the tower. This uneven distribution has created conflict similar to the conflict of Origin waters.

Back during the era of Origin waters, mana concentration was higher the closer one is to the streams of origin waters. Battle sage monkeys vied for trees closer to origin streams. It caused conflicts that ended when the era of transcendents began. The streams of origin waters became obsolete when the planar portal was opened. So much mana flooded the plane that no one could notice any difference in concentration.

But what will render the tower of trials obsolete? It is an important question because back then, the power level during the conflict for Origin waters was the mana stage. But now, the weakest combatants are transcendents. They aren't normal transcendents either. They are transcendents loaded on steroids. They have powerful divine abilities from their bloodlines and a lot of Origin energy to use them.

The damage that mana entities can do to a plane is negligible when compared to what transcendents and lords of law can do. That damage cannot compare to what kings of law can do either. Kings of law are the ones that need Origin energy the most. They have fully mastered at least a law and they need a lot of origin energy to make the stars within their origin cores in order to become titans of law.

So kings of law are always fighting in the vicinity of the tower of trial. They fling attacks with the full power of laws at each other and at their surroundings. Each one of them can dodge attacks but the environment has no choice but to be hit over and over again. They are doing a significant amount of damage to the ecosystem of the plane with all their fighting. Something has to be done.contemporary romance
