Chapter 1703: It Is Not Enough.
Ghaster shook his head and said, "I might have no need to compare myself to him, but I can compare my parents to him. Mother is more than 20 Origin cycles old, but he became an Origin god in 5 Origin cycles. Then he used 3 Origin cycles to break the rule of multiple bodies. Then he used less than One Origin cycle after that to fight the strongest Origin gods."
"Compared to him, my parents are mediocre, and most of the Origin gods in our family are too. Maybe ancestor Ghastorix is stronger, but he too can't compare to him in terms of talent."
Hadrikomania agreed, "Unfortunately, you are right. But you are much younger than him. He has the advantage of time."
Ghaster didn't agree. He asked, "Why can't I compare to him? Just because he is older than me by a couple of Origin cycles? Would there be any difference even if I were older than him? I very much doubt that. At best, I would be a king of law or a titan of law in 10 Origin cycles." Hadrikomania sighed. "Talent is not everything. Luck, resources, and the power to realize one's potential are also important. The current Legion has run out of luck. He is being chased all over the void universe. He might not even matter by the end of the void universe."
Ghaster calmed down after he heard that. He still has a lot of arguments to make, but he has decided not to field them anymore.
Hadrikomania knew this, but didn't prod him. Instead, she asked, "Do you still want to return to the void universe."
"Yes, I still want to. I must fight. I thought Soverick was out of my reach before. Now I know that I was correct. He was truly out of my reach, but that hasn't changed my plan for the future. I will still fight. And I will fight to make sure that I am also there to fight for whatever it is that world gods will fight for at the end of the void universe."
Her hand grabbed his head again and ruffled it playfully. "That's the spirit. Now go and fight."
His figure faded away, and he was ejected from the world. The world became silent again, and Hadrikomania faded away. She was still in her position, but no one could see her anymore.
Another person that no one could see was standing beside her, looking at the world below. It was Ghastorix himself.
He has two arms now. They are folded across his chest while errant lightning strikes shoot out of the black metallic spikes he has for hair.
He hummed to himself and said, "I hope you are having a good time with them."
Hadrikomania answered with a sigh, "I was. But he didn't want to be caged. I had to let him
go."
Ghastorix nodded in understanding. "He has a good head on his shoulder."
That made her perk up, "Doesn't he? He reminds me so much of you."
She shrugged and said, "Unfortunately, a good head is not good enough. He is more likely to die than succeed."
That drained her enthusiasm. She said, "Maybe I shouldn't have let him go then."
"He would have sulked and made you miserable for keeping him captive. Besides, you were right. He is likely to die anyway. His decision only determines how he will die."
"Don't be so drab. Let's talk about something else."
He doesn't care about his family and descendants anyway. He only saved them for Hadrikomania. So it doesn't matter to him if they die. All that matters is that she is happy.
So he changed the subject. "I see that the world is doing well. Can you make the evolution faster?"
Hadrikomania shook her head. "Not if we want to keep all the work we have done before. We have to be patient, or we have to start all over again."
Ghastorix didn't like the word patience. That word has always been attributed to unpleasant experiences for him. But he has been hearing about it lately. First, from the keeper of secrets, and now from the Will of his realm.
He had used a life crystal instead of a world seed to create his world when he became a world god. He could have failed, but he didn't. He didn't fail, but he only managed to build a world that was weaker than the world of other world gods.
Fortunately, he found a small tree recently and looted it. He is now upgrading his world with the world seed he got from it. However, it is taking too long for his liking.
If it were up to him, the evolution would be lightning fast. But that would mean erasing all the life that Hadrikomania has managed to create.
Life is precious to a world god. Every living thing with a consciousness that dies in his world will provide him with Chaos sparks. They are the weaker but safer version of Chaos Blood or Chaos Essence.

Chaos essence are used to subvert the Order of the void universe. To a world god, they can use it for a lot of things. The most important of them are permanent creations that can exist in the void universe without being rejected or destroyed. Unfortunately, Chaos blood can only be gotten from world enders. That makes them very dangerous to acquire.
When combined with the fact that Chaos blood can also be used against world gods as it is a poison to every form of order, it becomes important to find a safer alternative. This is where living things come in.
Every living thing is an agent of Chaos. Their very existence propagates Chaos and entropy. Just breathing increases the entropy of the void universe. That's why guardians hate living things and call them vermin.
But world gods want living things because they can harvest the spark of Chaos that they represent when they die. Chaos spark is a useful resources for them.
