GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1209 To Despair.

Tanc830,428,723C was finally satisfied with his answer. "Good. I like your use of 'might' and 'usually'. It denotes that you are not certain of your conjecture and your answer was not in blind confidence."

He said, "I will clear your doubts. This sea of bones is called a sea of despair. Take note that we call it "a" sea of despair and not "the" sea of despair. What does that tell you?"

Legion-5 replied after thinking, "It implies that there are a lot of this."

Tanc830,428,723C nodded in agreement. "Yes, there are many seas of despair. But not in this plane. There is only one in this plane. There is one in almost every single plane of the 20,000 planes that the Supreme Alliance controls in the realm. Why do you think that is the case?"

Legion-5 wanted to roll his eyes but he doesn't have eyes to roll. It has only been a decade since he was hatched but he is already tired of being treated like an ignorant child.

Still, he answered, "Because the Supreme Alliance killed a lot of people in the planes."

Tanc830,428,723C nodded and said proudly. "This conversation is the start of the rite of passage. My mentor also took me to see a sea of despair when I was about to begin my rite of passage. He said to me just as I will say to you and you will say to your junior in the future, "Do you know why it is called the sea of despair?"contemporary romance

"Before I could answer, my mentor laughed. He laughed like this." Then Tanc830,428,723C laughed.

His laughter was weird because he didn't have a mouth to laugh so he had to create a mouth on his face to laugh. This mouth was also weird because it was incomplete. It didn't have teeth or tongues. It is more of a hole in his face where air is pushed out in the form of a bellowing laugh.

Tanc830,428,723C eventually stopped laughing.

Then he said, "The answer is obvious, isn't it? It is because they despaired. We came knocking and they tried all they could to defend their plane. Men and women, billions of them came of one mind to defend against the might of the Supreme Alliance. They failed. And they despaired."

Tanc830,428,723C stopped looking at the sea of bones and turned to Legion-5. "I have it on good authority that only one Supreme beast attacked and subdued this plane. She alone brought this entire plane to its knees. She alone made billions of people despair."

"Only one?" Legion-5 asked feigning surprise and awe.

He is only half impressed because a clone of Legion has also managed to bring a plane to its knees. Ragnarok didn't manage to defeat everyone in the plane like the Supreme beast did but he succeeded in causing the destruction of the plane.

Tanc830,428,723C confirmed, "Yes, Just one Supreme Beast."

Then he raised his hands wide and side, "Behold her works and marvel at the glory of the Supreme Alliance."

"Let us go."

They continued on their way after the short pause. Tanc830,428,723C tore past the barrier of the plane and entered the void between planes. Outside the plane is a ring of metal that encapsulates the entire plane. It is an unnatural phenomenon.

The bubble that is the plane looks as if it is shackled by the ring. The bubble is smaller in the void but the ring has to be absolutely massive for it to surround the whole plane. There are also numerous floating fortresses patrolling around the plane.

Tanc830,428,723C said as they flew away, "This is the planar defense system of the Supreme Alliance. It is meant to keep our planes in our possession. Won't it be silly if we lose a plane after invading it?"

Legion-5 wasn't surprised by the sight. Soverick had seen this earlier. It is one of the reasons why they ruled out this plane as the meeting point for him and Legion-7. The plane's security is too high.

Tanc830,428,723C flashed his identity mark so that the surveillance system would let them through. They left the plane and moved quickly in the void. His mentor spoke to him on their way.

"You are a Supreme Beast. We bring despair to races. You must do well in the rite of passage so that you too can embody this Will. We are Supreme."

Legion-5 couldn't help but ask, "If we are so great, why haven't we taken over the whole plane."

Tanc830,428,723C chuckled. "It is all the realm lord's fault. He is suppressing us. What a pompous high elf. He became the realm lord because we didn't even try to take that position."

"I don't understand. What do you mean by we didn't try to take the position? If the position is so powerful why didn't we try to take it?"

He asked that question because what Tanc830,428,723C said sounded like a weak excuse from someone who failed to achieve something but doesn't want to admit inferiority. It sounds like something a prideful dragon would say.

"Let me explain it to you. The requirement to become realm lord is to become the first Origin god produced in the whole realm with a 6-law concept. We Supreme Beasts have only two paths and none of them involves learning many laws. The path of further awakening only requires a single law, the law of life. While the path of permanence disqualifies our divine ability from that position."

"The path of further awakening is already difficult and whoever attempts it is considered an outlier. And that's just the difficulty of one law. It is madness to try to acquire a 6-law concept when we are stronger than Origin gods with 6-law concepts only to fail. So we didn't try at all. We remained content with the path of permanence and missed out on the position of realm lord."

That explanation still didn't convince Legion-5. It still sounded like an excuse to him. Just more elaborate.
