GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

He gave this immortal stele to the Will of the realm. The Will took it and used it to replace the world spark in the realm heart. This way, the rules on the stele have become the rules of the realm. The Will of the realm will enforce them, and in exchange, the realm will become free from the law matrix.

Hanjerlie chuckled and said to himself, "Maybe I am truly the realm lord."

He has achieved something that a realm lord would need victory in the era of conquest to achieve. He even did more than that. The liberated Altinno realm will always have his protection through the steel. He is not as strong as a world god yet, but he will soon be when he becomes a world forge. That means world gods will have to treat the Altinno realm with respect.

The Will of the realm appeared before him to show its gratitude. It was a young girl. She was bright and beautiful. She appeared in her physical form, not a metaphysical form, because she was free.

She said to him, "Thank you, Hanjerlie. You are the best child I have. I will come to visit you." He nodded and said to her, "I will be expecting you."

"Learn to have fun sometimes. Don't be so serious every time."

He chuckled. "I'll try."

Then he allowed the void universe to lead him to his new station. He fell below the law matrix and entered the dark side of the void universe. He didn't feel any pressure as he continued to fall.

He soon picked up speed, so his environment became a blur. The void universe was dragging him, so it wasn't his power that made him so fast. Thanks to his speed, it didn't take long for him to arrive at his destination.

His destination was a labyrinth. It was a series of spatial tunnels that twisted and bent and connected to strange and unseen places. Sometimes he saw different places and different worlds through them. But most of the time, he only saw a gray, twisting forest of tunnels. The Will of the void universe said to him, "This is the corridor of worlds. It connects all the worlds that are independent of the law matrix."

The message was accompanied by more information. It provided Hanjerlie with the knowledge that every world in the void universe is connected through the corridor of worlds.

The corridor of worlds is difficult to navigate since it is a labyrinth, but the worlds of world gods and every realm tree that detaches from the law matrix can be accessed through it. Only the worlds that are protected by the void universe can't be accessed through it.

These protected worlds are indeed connected to the labyrinth, but access to them is blocked by the void universe. The blockage will be lost when they detach from the void universe. The connection to the corridor of worlds, on the other hand, will remain until the worlds of world gods and the unprotected realm trees leave the void universe.

His job is to maintain the corridor of worlds, protect the core of the void universe within it, and repair the law matrix above it. The corridor would be destroyed when the universe ends, so he has to rebuild it. It is after all, the bedrock of the void universe. Then he has to maintain it during the operation of the void universe.

He saw many others doing the same thing. They were large stars of various colors. The stars are forges. Each star contains an entity working away. They were forging something or repairing something else.

Hanjerlie was in awe of what he saw. The stars could move around. They were mobile work stations for Archons. The terrifying heat and pressure within the stars are what they use to forge.

They were not like the mortal blacksmiths he knew about. No blacksmith can put their hand in the fire they use to melt the metal they work with. But these entities can withstand the same heat and pressure that their metal is melting under.

It brought to mind the immortal Steele he made casually. If he could make something like that, then he might be able to make his body that durable. Then he too will be unscathed when his whole existence bears the terrifying temperature and core pressure of 1 billion Celsius and 2.0 x10^35 PA.

"And I will become this one day?"

The Will of the void universe replied, "You will become this now."

The Will of the void universe doesn't want to waste time at all. This will be the first world forge that it will get this epoch. It didn't want anything to interfere or accept any delay, so it went ahead and turned Hanjerlie into a world forge immediately.

The process was easy for him. The void universe provided everything he needed. Soon, a new star that possessed unlimited Cosmic energy was born in the depths of the void universe.

-----Pawn.

The Will of the void universe was happy, and Hanjerlie was also happy. Some world gods were happy with the new addition of a world forge, while others were jealous. The happy ones went forward to meet the new world forge to foster good relations with him.

They might need his help to repair their worlds in the future, and they could certainly use his help to upgrade their worlds. If he were to help them, then upgrading their worlds would be easy and fast. These are all reasons why world gods want to be friendly with world forges.

The fact that world forges are the best at forging Apocalypse weapons and are the only ones apart from the realm lord that can forge the Authority of the void universe also makes it indispensable to be in their good graces. Despite all of these, some world gods were not happy with the addition of a new world forge.
