GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1053 The Hidden Danger.

He hates this plane. They call it the Lumen plane which means the plane of light. Maybe the plane was truly bright in the past but its name is ironic now. The Lumen plane is now a cold dark place filled with war and danger.

This plane was not his choice in the first place. He was unlucky to be here in contrast to how lucky Soverick is. But he has tried to make the best of what he has. He has done well for himself thanks to the assistance of Legion.

But his situation is still grim though. There is no way out for him. He remains trapped in a bottle with the demon god looking down condescendingly at him. That's why he has thrown caution to the wind and is willing to offend everyone.

Since he can't escape his fate then he will share his grim fate with everyone. Let them partake in some of his pain. He doesn't need an important reason to do so. He is willing to do it just for the fun of it. But he has good reasons. There is no path of survival for him in this plane. He can't leave the plane. In that case, he will make the plane unpalatable for everyone. Maybe then, the blockade on the plane will be lifted.

What he is about to do is certainly a crazy thing to aim for. But it also has another benefit of making the plane useless to the demon god apart from punishing everyone. This might make the demon god give up on the plane and will create an opportunity for him to survive.

The major struggle in this plane is because all three major factions are fighting each other to gain control of the plane and the life within it. If by chance, a large amount of the living things in the plane including the Vampires die, and the plane becomes uninhabitable, then they might lose interest and stop fighting.

As for his hatred towards the child of the plane, Rinoz has given him enough reasons to get rid of her if he can. Her constant irritation is annoying and he hates how she can communicate with him anytime she wants.

As if that isn't enough, she can use her combined ability from her title and connection to him as Warrog to find his location which she then exposes to those who want to harm him. That is more than enough reason to kill her.

He managed to get away the last time Rinoz brought enemies to him. He might not be so lucky the next time around. But those reasons are not needed to kill her. The power she has and represents can be stolen if he kills her. This incentive will tempt him to kill her even if she were a saint who has never offended him and has instead helped him on several occasions.

No one bothered him for the short period it took for him to reach his destination. But he had to stop along the way because something was blocking his way.

"What is this?" He asked in surprise.

There is some sort of spiritual barrier in his way. It was invisible until he actually got close to it. It reminded him of the tree father's ability to hide. The barrier is also much stronger than what a weak Celestial can make.

"This must be how they hid them from the world. It is a seal and I bet it is the fountain of life's work."

The blight should have been rampant in the plane ever since Vampires appeared in the plane. That is the natural order of things. It is always the case in other planes where Vampires reside. It is only after a struggle that the blight will be defeated.

But he hasn't seen the blight in the plane at all. Not even the slightest signs of them. He asked Emperiti about it and she said that the blight had been defeated. She lied to him. It turned out that they had sealed them away.

Even the fountain of life is probably in on it. It is the entity that is capable of hiding things from him and has hidden many things from him. If not for his third eye then he wouldn't have known about its existence. Besides, with the way the fountain of life surveys the plane, there is no way that it wouldn't be aware of this seal.

"It must have been too strong to be defeated so they sealed it away. But I have found it now."

He has some suspicion about why the fountain of life would choose to help the Vampires seal away the blight but that's a worry for the future. For now, he shrugged and broke the barrier. He is stronger than a weak Celestial so it wasn't much of an issue for him. His three beads of devouring pierced the barrier and he passed through.

"Here we go." He said in anticipation. "This is the moment of truth." contemporary romance

He can sense the ominous presence of what is ahead of him now. He couldn't sense it before because of the barrier. Now he knows that what he is doing is very dangerous because his instincts are warning him and telling him to turn back. But he didn't turn back. He chose to dig deeper.

He broke through a layer of earth into an open space. The space here is very dark. It is pitch black so he can see the numerous pairs of tiny red lights that are fixated on him. Then the sounds of feet shuffling started immediately.

All those tiny lights began to get closer to him. He is up at the top of the cavern so the entities that the eyes belong to begin to climb the walls to reach him.

He said in disdain, "So slow. This will take forever. What use will you be to me if you are this slow?"

The ghouls are too slow. They walk slower than a mortal that hasn't even started the body-forging stage.
