GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2017 No Escape.

Chapter 2017  No Escape.

The first sage tried to use the aspect of Probability to worm his way out of it. He was looking for that slim chance of survival. But Entropy and Chaos were scrambling his perception and luck. Besides, Aeternus had the aspect of Probability too, and he was also much stronger than the first sage. The fight was so violent that the continent within the first sage's world was cracking apart despite how strong it was. The living beings in the world were dying in droves. Black chaos energy was submerging and tainting everything. It was truly an apocalypse. What's worse is that the first sage couldn't admit defeat and give up his world. He couldn't leave it because, for some reason, Legion-3 had adhered to him like a world ender. Legion-3 was gripping his Supreme law and world together. So this fight wouldn't end until one of them dies. Even if the first sage dies, as soon as he awakens somewhere else, Aeternus would be able to lock onto him and find him. Then the fight will resume. That is something even a world ender wouldn't be able to do. The first sage roared, "This can't be. I can't be defeated here."

Legion-3 snorted with displeasure and said, "Give up already. I don't need your world. Your existence is all I need. You're just wasting our time and energy. I bet that you're going to apologize for delaying me after all of this is over."

The first sage said with difficulty, "You're an abomination."

His voice was strained and slow, but his intention was clear and direct. Legion-3 sneered and said, "I am an abomination, so you stand no chance. Give up already."

The first sage roared in despair, "Never."

The pressure he was facing had increased, so it was even more difficult for him to say that. But he felt he had to refuse to give up or fail immediately. Legion-3 saw that the first sage had refused to be reasonable, so he stopped wasting his words and didn't bother to argue anymore.

He said to the first sage, "Fine. Be that way. It is just a few seconds more. I'm sure I can afford to wait that long."

At first, he was angry with the first sage for being stubborn and wasting his time. But then he chuckled when he thought about how the first sage will become a part of Legion-0 soon. He said to the first sage, "And to think this all started because you wanted to use us to win a bet with another world god. Then it escalated when we used your power without your permission to subdue a world ender. Now you will give your power willingly to Legion."

The kickstarter they built with the first sage's world fragment was used to build their first works fragment, which has turned into Legion-0 now. They have come a long way since they had to steal the first sage's power for that. Now instead of using some world fragment created by the first sage against his wish, they would be using the whole of the first sage's existence for power. He found the prospect funny, so he chuckled. But the first sage didn't find it funny. He only felt despair and agony as his existence was ripped apart and reconstructed into something else. It has been five seconds since Legion-3 stabbed him in the chest, and Legion-3 has said a lot of funny things. But he still hadn't found it within himself to be amused by the turn of events. The first sage was just too busy feeling agony and dread. The agony is understandable. It is pure, unadulterated pain. He can see why he would be feeling agony. Dread, on the other hand, is a strange feeling for him. He is feeling dread because he can't understand what is going on. A world ender should destroy his world, kill his will of the realm, and then kill him too. While his world has been destroyed, his will of the realm is still alive and has turned against him. Actually, his Will of the Realm has turned into Legion-3. Legion-3 infected it and overwrote its existence. That means he has gained control of half of the power of the first sage's world. That weakened the power of the first sage, but Legion-3 took things further by destroying his world completely. This directly crippled the first sage and made him at the mercy of Legion-3. After all, Legion-3 doesn't need his world to possess immense power. Legion-3 is plenty strong on his own. All that is left within the first sage is a sea of darkness surrounding the last vestige of the first sage's autonomy. This sea of darkness is grinding his consciousness to pieces and adding new parts to it. At first, he didn't understand what was happening to him. But after seeing the Will of his realm turn into Legion-3. He understood what was in store for him. This is why he is feeling dread and has no time for leisure or amusement. The other two world gods cracked as Legion-3 began overwriting them. He said with some anticipation, "A six-aspect Supreme law, I can't wait to add him to Legion-0."

Then he focused on the first sage and said, "Let's finish here first."

He diverted most of his power from the other two to focus on the first sage. After all, he has broken their defenses, so the difficult part of subduing them is over. He intends to finish the first sage off first before dealing with them completely. The concentration of his power created a whirlpool of utmost power, devouring and destroying everything around him. The first sage became an eye within this whirlpool of darkness. Above him stood a dark, looming giant. The giant crushed him little by little. The first sage screamed in pain, "I refuse to accept this."

The first sage resisted with all his might, but he too was eventually submerged by the darkness of the whirlpool. The white eye became black, and a soul sphere was injected into him.
