GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1913: The Imposter.



One major thing that they noticed over time was that not all the strange creatures possessed a spark of consciousness at all times.

All of the strange creatures could possess the spark of consciousness, but only one at a time and only when they were about to cross the barrier between the spiritual dimension and the void universe.

So even though she could change bodies easily, they still managed to trap her. In fact, it is the body that she is inhabiting that they are wary of, not her. As for her, they don't think much of her.

She wasn't perturbed by Legion-1's belittling of her. She said confidently, "Let me introduce myself. I am your ancestor, Green Vine."

Legion-1 rolled his eyes and said, "Another fool who thinks they are someone else."

Legion-7 asked with genuine concern, "Did the first sage mess with your memory too? I didn't think that something like that was possible for a person with a spark of consciousness." He was truly concerned because if this is true, then he too might be in danger.

Green Vine replied, "I am truly the ancestor of high elves."

Legion-1 said, "Nice try, but the ancestors of high elves are dead. Even if they were alive, you won't be an ancestor of high elves because we have two, not one. At best, you will be one of the ancestors of high elves."

She nodded and said, "You're right. I am just one of the ancestors of elves."

Legion-1 exclaimed, "Oh my. I see it now. The resemblance is uncanny. How could I have been blind to such an obvious fact?"

It was clear that he was mocking her, but she didn't take it to heart. She said, "I have always admired you, Legion. I wanted to get in touch with you to help you."

Legion-7 asked, "And you decided this was the best way to do that? To work with the first sage to infiltrate our existence?"

She sighed and said, "I didn't have a choice. He captured me and forced me to help him capture you."

They didn't believe her, and they didn't care. All they care about at this point is that now that she can't help the strange creatures chase them anymore, they will be able to escape to the spiritual dimension again and resume their research.

There's also the fact that she has a spark of consciousness and is in possession of an incomplete universal artifact. All of this means that regardless of her identity and intentions, she will become fuel for the perfection that they are pursuing.

Legion-3 smiled and said to the others, "Looks like we are eating well today. A spark of consciousness, a universal artifact, and a lot of derivative laws to analyze. Is this a party or what?"

Legion-7 added, "There's also all the information we can gain from her memories. Don't forget that."

Legion-3 said, "I'm at fault. I was blinded by the mountain of food before us."

They were arguing just a while ago, but they can all agree on the matter of how much benefits they will gain from her.

There is just so much to eat that they don't know where to start from. But that's only partially true. They are indeed spoiled for choice, but they have an order in which they plan to eat all that they have captured. This order is also the safest way to have everything they can.

They plan to ground and break down everything caught within the golden pyramid. They want to do this so that the Universal Artifact, Green Vine's true body, and the core of the strange creatures become exposed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

They intend to achieve this by applying pressure in the form of cosmic force onto the contents of the golden pyramid. This pressure will be like a hammer that they will use to strike them over and over again.

This process will turn the strange creatures into nuts that they want to crack open so that they can get to the goodies within them. They are truly looking forward to getting the goodies within them.

This is not going to be easy since the strange creatures have the durability of world fragments themselves. They are going to be tough nuts to crack.

But this is not impossible for them to achieve because this is not the first time they have attempted and succeeded in cracking something with the durability of a world fragment.

They managed to crack and destroy the amalgamation of the original creators of the incomplete Universal artifact and took it for themselves. They are sure they can do it again. All they have to do is achieve their temporary third stage of unity again.

So Helios, the Tree Father, Aeternus, joined together with Legion-5. They recreated the conditions that created their spark of power. This caused their spark of power to activate completely.

They didn't lose themselves thanks to Legion-7. Then they used the power they gained to control the cosmic force within the golden pyramid to crush the strange creatures.

There was some backlash, but it wasn't something their first world fragment within Legion-1 couldn't handle. It bore the backlash for them so they could go all out. Soon the strange creatures were cracking like nuts.

All of these show that destroying these creatures was not difficult for them. It is something they could have done easily the first time they met the strange creatures, but Legion-7 didn't let them do it because of the first sage and Green Vine.

With those two still out there, their efforts would have been in vain. The first sage could make more of them no matter how much they destroy, and as long as Green Vine was there to help them cross the boundary of the spiritual dimension, the chase would continue.

So destroying the creatures back then would have been a waste of time and effort. What's worse is that Green Vine's plan to infiltrate them might have worked while they were wasting

their time.
