GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1633: Bringing The Prophecy To Pass.

The First Sage was amused. He laughed in their faces to show his amusement. The roar of his laughter caused the white space of Legion-5's mind to shake.

He continued speaking, but with an additional mocking tone. "I have seen enough of you to know what is most important to you right now. That is the era of conquest. Without it, you will lose a lot of momentum and might be stuck as origin gods for the next 1,000 origin cycles."

"You have grown really fast in a short amount of time. Even the realm lord is surprised by your growth. But if I stall you for the next origin cycle, you will become stagnant for a thousand times that time. That will open up a lot of possibilities for how to deal with you. And you know me, I love possibilities."

He laughed triumphantly and bolsteringly.

The first sage has the right to laugh, though. If they don't participate in the era of conquest, then they will not gain contribution points to acquire what they need to become world gods. As if that isn't bad enough, there's also the realm lord, who is keen on their secrets. The first sage already knows about the shard of power. If the realm lord finds out and he doesn't owe them anything when he becomes a world god, then it is likely that he will capture them for their secrets after the era of conquest. So they are screwed.

The nine clones had had enough. They all attacked the first sage. This is not the real world, so they can't use laws. But it is their mental space, so they can still use their abilities.

In fact, they should be able to do anything they want and can think of. They ought to be omnipotent gods in their minds. Unfortunately, everything they threw at the First Sage failed.

Nothing they could think of could even touch him. Everything just disappeared after coming close to the first sage. The First Sage had formed a domain within their minds. And unlike them, he had the help of a world to overpower them.

The first sage asked them, "What nonsense is this? You can't hurt me because you can't hurt yourself. Even if you can hurt yourself, I won't let you. You will do what I want, when I want it. Accept your fate!"

Their fight looks like the actions of fools. Technically, they are throwing virtual attacks at themselves. This is because the first sage is not an intruder right now. He is part of them. He is the metal hook that has lodged itself into the gills of a fish that was greedy enough to take the bait.

Legion has many faults. Being greedy is just one of them. They took that bait and used the knowledge of the first sage's supreme law to build their world fragment. However, a Supreme Law is not so easy to spit out after taking it. This is despite the fact that they learned less than 0.1% of the Supreme Law.

He advised them, "If you truly want me gone, you should use your contingency plan against me. I'm sure you have one, and I am sure that Legion-7 can use it."

They didn't reply. They just kept attacking him. Their reaction caused the first sage to laugh. He said, "Common on. Don't be shy. Show me what you got."

It sounded like a good idea, but Legion didn't take it. In fact, the idea might work to release them and injure the first sage, but they are not going to take advice from their enemy. Especially not from an enemy that is anticipating that very move.

CARNAGE is a weapon they can use against the first sage, but it is not a weapon that they can use without causing some damage to themselves. Not only will their world fragment be destroyed if they release CARNAGE, they will also die.

They can resurrect, but that world fragment is not something they can lose easily. Not after they have spent so much effort on it. Plus, CARNAGE is a one-time weapon. If they use it now, they won't be able to use it again.

It might not even work considering that the first sage is goading them to use it. So they can't go the doom day's route. But they didn't give up, though. There is more than one way to fleece an elusive cat. Actually, they have two.

First, Legion-7 tried to become intangible like he did in the Spiritual Dimension to escape from the great mother. His plan was to make the mental space intangible so that the hook of the first sage would be dislodged.

It didn't work just as he expected. It has not worked ever since he began dwelling in physical hosts. Something about physical matter and his attachment to them is dragging him down from becoming intangible. Since it didn't work, they decided to try their last method.

They can't overtune the gaming board, so they will cut off their hands so that they won't be able to play anymore. They can't pull out the hook in their minds, so they will kill themselves. If all of them die at once, then the mental space will cease to exist.

They expected it to work. After all, they had already seen it happen. It is exactly what the first sage prophecied that they would do. Which means that he will be anticipating it and prepared to resist it.

They expected it to be difficult. After all, a world god can freeze an Origin god or curse them to never die. So it should be very difficult for them to kill themselves. But they were certain it would work because they planned to detonate all their psychic engrams within Legion-7 and fracture Legion-7 himself.

Their plan ought to work since the first sage can't suppress Legion-7. The hook of the first sage is lodged deep in their consciousness, not in Legion-7's spark of consciousness. So Legion-7 can fracture his spark of consciousness and take all of them down with him.

A/N: Who would have thought it? Legion is the one that wants to bring the prophecy to pass. Is that a good idea or not? Who wants to bet with me again?
