GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Those are just limited uses of the Authority of the void universe. A world god will be able to do more with it. They will be able to reduce the resistance of the void universe against their Supreme Law and Will, so the amount of power they will be able to wield will be much higher.

This is mostly what Legion knows about the use of Authority, but it is more than enough for them to be concerned and invested in its acquisition. They have tried to create it on their own through their Divine Spark clone, but Legion-9 failed to create it. By their estimate, they will either need to fully comprehend the Supreme Law of Order or have Legion-9 evolve to become a world forge.

They haven't achieved either of that in the 10,000 years that they have been trying. It is not because they have been lazying around. It is because 10,000 is too short to achieve either of them and because they don't plan to comprehend the Supreme Law of Order anymore.

To become world gods, they need Supreme laws of their own. But they don't want to build simple 4-dimensional Supreme laws that other world gods use as foundations for their worlds. They want to build 7 dimensional Supreme Laws that will possess the extra aspects of Space, Time, and Information state.

Not only is their aim every difficult, they still need to do it at least six times since they plan to have multiple worlds as world gods. So 10,000 years is nowhere enough to achieve that.

They still have a long way to go before they can create Authority on their own. This makes the project of the realm lord enticing. They ultimately decided to participate in it.

It might be dangerous to participate in the project, but it doesn't change the fact that it is very valuable. Many world gods want to participate in it, but they can't. These world gods are willing to throw wealth at the realm lord for the slots, but it didn't work. So who are they to give up such a sought after opportunity?

What ultimately made them decide to participate in it is the fine print of the contract that the realm lord sent to everyone with slots to his project. He outlined his duties and promises in the contract. One of those promises is to do everything within his power to protect them and their interests. That convinced them to participate.

There are other promises and even responsibilities that every participant must be willing to bear. These responsibilities are rules that they must adhere to if they decide to participate.

One of them is that the participants must not try to sabotage the project or they will lose their privileges and benefits. It made Legion unhappy since they were going to try and sabotage it, but they ultimately brushed it aside.

Their plan to sabotage it isn't because they like vandalism. It is because they are always seeking benefits. The best way to acquire benefits is to steal them or prevent others from acquiring them. Hence their aim to sabotage the project to steal or destroy the project if it is not going their way.

So Legion decided to participate in the project. It is the common decision that everyone who received the invitation took. Even the first sage still decided to participate in the project despite knowing how dangerous the realm lord is. After all, he has schemed for too long and made powerful enemies just for the slots he acquired. He is not willing to let it go to waste just like that.

Legion began preparing for the project. It is something that they have already started right from the moment the realm lord offered the invitation to Aeternus, Legion-3, when he was struggling with Chaos energy.

They were always looking for information about the project. It was difficult then to find anything about it, but some information about the project has been released by the realm lord.

This information concerns how they will gain access to the project. It will be through a large artifact built like a pillar. It reminded them of the time the realm lord had asked for Legion- 1's help in producing the matter and energy translocation pillars.

Those pillars are going to be used now by everyone to participate in the project. They don't know what the project will entail exactly, but they are very familiar with the translocation pillar because it is based on their soul spheres. At least they can make preparations not to be attacked through it.

The pillars are being distributed at outposts in the immortal lands. Ragnarok was chosen by the others to go to one of the outposts to collect the pillars they needed.

Their worst fears didn't come to pass, though. Ragnarok went there and back safely. He also brought back the pillar with him. He sent those pillars to the other clones who were spread across the void universe.

These pillars are large blocks of metal chiseled and enchanted with runes. The runes are so many that they are practically popping out of the surface of the pillars. It is not an exaggeration.

The runes are constantly shifting as if squeezed, and some of them are slightly above the surface of the pillars. They are only attached to the pillar through strings of energy and law and not through physical contact.

Legion recognized some of the runes to be for encryption. It made Legion-2, Soverick, snicker and say, "It seems the realm lord is also worried about being trapped. I would be worried too if I am inviting millions of Origin gods into my world."

They joked about it for a while, during which they inspected the pillars to make sure that they were safe. Then they connected their minds with the pillars through their divine sense.

Their physical bodies were still in the void universe, but their minds appeared somewhere with different rules and a different law matrix. This world was small and dark. It was empty except for their wandering minds.
