GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1117 How It Went Down.

They decided not to argue with Soverick anymore. They have had this argument before they decided to go with the plan. Soverick doesn't like people doubting his creations. He takes pride in envisioning a future and bringing it to pass. Anyone that doubts him his doubting the accuracy of his eyes. 

"You're just too greedy. We are all too greedy or we wouldn't have agreed to let Ragnarok destroy a plane to anger Carnage."

"This is why we are greedy. It is to achieve greatness." Soverick thought to himself and others.

"It is good and all but we have lost a world spark," Helios said. 

The dragon clone said with sadness. "Yeah. And Ragnarok experienced his first death. Poor Ragnarok. He reminds me so much of myself."

That made them laugh. Of course, Ragnarok reminds all of them of themselves. He is them after all. He always did what they would have done. They would have chosen to lie low in the Iron Fur Pack and make it grow only to destroy it for power when they had the chance. 

They would have chosen to experience the transformation into a Vampire to acquire information about Supreme laws. They would have stubbornly refused to willingly enslave themselves to a demon god. 

The craziest moment was when Ragnarok decided to eat the heart of Carnage instead of expelling it out of his body. It was almost as if he hadn't learned his lesson from the previous times he tested fate. 

That depicted how greedy he was and what type of risk he would take for power. It is similar to how greedy they all are too. If they were not so greedy, they would have only focused on trying to save Ragnarok instead of risking him to bait a demon god. It is clear that they could have saved him if they wanted to. But they wanted to make it a certainty that CARNAGE would follow him to the ends of the realm for revenge.

Soverick said, "If he hadn't tried to figure out how vampires were created, maybe we wouldn't have this."

"Yes. We have Ragnarok to thank for that. He foolishly tried to experience the overwriting of a supreme law."contemporary romance

"Now Aeternus is running away from anything with a Supreme law."

They chuckled and chatted animatedly to the background of the world engine roaring to life again and again. The interval between its shutdown and start-up is getting shorter and shorter. 

Soon the world engine will just be humming in constant operation instead of roaring to life every couple of seconds. And it would be because Ragnarok was suicidal enough to try to experience the Vampire transformation. 

Ragnarok didn't commit suicide when his father bit him. It was that delay that put Ragnarok on the path of vampires. Legion became extremely aware of the power of a demon god and how the sin of Carnage works through that experience. Then Ragnarok went on to consume many more hearts of Carnage. 

The information he risked his life to acquire wasn't deemed important back then. Not until Soverick came up with the idea to use the demon god as a sort of reagent in a cosmic reaction needed to make the Kickstarter work. Then it was decided that they would use the demon god for their Kickstarter. And for that, they needed to bait the demon god. 

The upgraded world spark is the world spark that the first sage gave them but pumped full of cosmic energy. It was done mainly to render the world spark inert so that Legion-7 could interact with it without the threat of fusion and to render it harmless to Mother High Heaven. 

If they hadn't rendered it inert, Legion-7 would have fused with the spark and therefore become a part of the void universe. He wouldn't be able to slip the world spark into the plane when Carnage removed the barricade and Mother High Heaven wouldn't have allowed it in the realm at all. That was very important to the plan to bait CARNAGE.

The other benefit of infusing the world spark with cosmic energy is that the world-ender it created would not be too weak as a new world-ender. That is very important or it might lose out to the false order of the first sage and create too much imbalance.

Legion-1 said to Legion-7, "No one noticed when you placed the world spark in the plane. I was afraid the plan would fail there."

"Ragnarok's performance was too notch. They were all focused on him. He was going to destroy the plane after all. And the demon god of Wrath distracted the demon god of Carnage. It was a good idea to leak the coordinates of the plane to it."

It was truly a remarkable performance on Ragnarok's part. It was so good that the demon god stopped covering the entire plane so Legion-7 could invade it. Legion-7 could have saved Ragnarok then but he didn't. Instead, he planted the world spark. And Ragnarok also made sure everyone took the bait with his acting. 

"Speaking of Ragnarok, what do we do with him now?" Soverick asked. 

Legion-7 had the answer to that question. "I was able to back him up so the first step of unification is almost complete. I can create another body for him."

Soverick nodded. "That's good. We might need him to help us take care of the Vampire problems. He likes hunting Vampires. He will have a lot to do soon."

The others are aware of the problem that Soverick is referring to. The demon god of Carnage has become a world-ender. Most world-enders end the race that they created when they were demon gods. After all, they don't need their lackeys anymore. They can't grow stronger by creating a race or expanding their sins anymore. They need to consume a world or a realm heart. 

The Vampires should be useless burdens now. They should all be eliminated for siphoning power from CARNAGE and not being of any use to it. But the world-ender of Carnage didn't do so. Instead, it is broadcasting its position to every Vampire that it has created and to their Lineage. It is calling them for help and pulling them towards Legion-1. It is a call that they cannot ignore or refuse.

A/N: What did you think was the reason why Ragnarok was destroying the plane? Surely you must have suspected his motives. But I doubt there's anyone here who thought he was doing it just to anger CARNAGE.
