GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1620: More Contribution.



Of course, the demon gods of the Tyrant realm were wrong about the assumption that all of them and the demon gods of the High Heaven realm should possess more energy than Aeternus. In fact, they would be wrong to think that all of the abyss of both realms combined possess more energy than him.

But what else they were wrong about was that the demon gods of the high heaven realm wouldn't have fought Aeternus even if he hadn't gained a lot of power recently. They don't want to break the pacts of the abyssal coalition now that the era of conquest has started.

They were not going to attack him, despite the fact that they hate him a lot and know one of Aeternus's weaknesses. This weakness is that he has only one body, so he will die permanently if they manage to kill him.

So they have a real chance at eliminating him for good. But they also know of many of his strengths, such as his powerful Supreme Law.

This is a Supreme Law that has no weakness. It can even break a barrier between realms. Aeternus has thoroughly shown the superiority of his supreme law over theirs.

This is a strength that becomes inviolable when combined with the growing suspicion that he has infinite energy. PRIDE claims he does, but Aeternus might not actually have infinite energy. As excuses for defeat go, it is believable, reasonable, and deadly if true.

But the demon gods of the Tyrant Realm don't know these, so they were understandably angry and unhappy. They complained and cursed their complacent counterparts for their inaction.

A demon god said with disdain, "They are full of energy and have become full of themselves. That is probably why they faltered and let a demon king of kings become a demon god. Even now, they are still too proud and think themselves undefeatable because of their recent success in devouring the Tyrant realm."

Another snorted and said, "What's so great about them? Is it not only energy? Just because they had the freedom to attack anything in their realm, they felt they could be full of themselves. We too would have been strong had we gotten the opportunity they had."

Another one complained, "Even their demon kings are ripe with energy and power. I wonder what kind of realm the high heaven realm is if it can raise demons like this. Most of it has probably been devoured by the demons. That's probably why only the demon gods came out of Amageddon to attack the divine plane."

This complaint gave one of them an idea. It said, "Why don't we attack their demon kings and the other demons of their realm? Let's use that to steal some of their energy."

This idea was too tempting for them. Soon, another one spoke in favor of it. "It will be easy too. Just because we can't attack the big fish doesn't mean we can't eat the small fish."

And so they agreed to attack the defenseless and weak demons of the high heaven realm. It is because of the energy they possess.

The demons of the high heaven realm truly have a lot of it. There are a lot more of them than those from the Tyrant Realm. Their number and size of their demon gods show how well the demon gods of the high heaven realm have done for themselves. While the demon gods will be a tough bone to crack, the invading demon kings will be supple and easy pickings.

Or so they thought. They did succeed for a while in reaping the lives of demon kings from the high heaven realm. But that decision turned out to be a bad idea because it gave the demon gods of the high heaven realm reason to kill them.

Earlier, there was no mission to kill the demon gods of the Tyrant Realm from Mother High Heaven because they didn't threaten the invasion of the realm. In fact, they were allies who helped the invaders by sabotaging their realm. It is why the demon gods of the High Heaven realm didn't attack them, even though they were stronger.

The demon gods of the high heaven realm would rather focus on something more productive, like attacking the realm, instead of creating enemies for no benefit. After all, they don't gain anything from attacking other demon gods. In fact, they lose out instead in the form of energy.

But now that the demon gods of the Tyrant Realm have turned on the invaders, they have become sources of contribution, which the demon gods of the High Heaven realm scrambled to acquire.

It is the same thing that happened with Aeternus. Except this time, Mother High Heaven is determined to wipe out the demon gods of the Tyrant realm instead of warning them off.

It wasn't a fight. The demon gods of the High Heaven realm chased their enemies all over the realm. They had almost twice the number of demon gods and more than five times the amount of energy stored in clones on their side. So it wasn't a contest at all.

The demon gods of the Tyrant Realm had nowhere to hide. They had only two choices which were to leave the realm completely or work together with the Tyrants. They certainly can't hide in the abyss because of the herald of chaos.

For the first time since the start of the era of conquest, the demon gods of the Tyrant Realm felt what it meant to be on the losing side. Some of them managed to acquire refuge with the Tyrants, while the rest were hunted down by the demon gods of the High Heaven realm and Aeternus.

Not only that, Legion began to earn contribution points for destroying the abyss now that it serves a function in eliminating the demon gods for good. This made Legion soar to the top 0.1% of every contributor to the era of conquest.
