GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Even demon gods want the Authority of the Celestial Supreme. A demon king that absorbs it will have an upgrade of at least one whole level in their Authority. It is an instant rank up so it is more valuable to higher-level demon kings than lower-level ones.

Unfortunately, the Authority of the Celestial Supreme belongs to the Reaper. It undoubtedly belongs to him because he killed the Celestial Supreme himself. So the snake demon king can't have it.

He thought to himself, "But I can get one of the other four if I play my cards right."

Greed took root in his heart and he smiled. He flew down toward the ground of Armageddon to where the 4 Celestials died and where their godhoods are.

The demon king of wrath said to the two of them as he moved to take one of the Celestial Godhoods. "I guess the succubus queen and I will take one Celestial Godhood each. You, Reaper, can have the remaining two and the Authority of the Celestial Supreme since you're the one that killed them."

He thought to himself in pride, "Who says that demons of wrath can't scheme?" contemporary romance

The snake demon king feels proud of himself. He didn't ask for a Celestial Godhood and he did not express his interest in one. He is already moving to grab it while simultaneously pulling the succubus queen onto his side. They don't have any right to the items but there are two of them and only one of the Reaper.

If the Reaper and the slutty succubus can overrule him about how they should attack the plane then surely he and the slutty succubus can overrule the Reaper on how to share the loot. That's what the snake demon king thought. It thinks it is very slick and cunning about the whole thing. The grin on its face is both for its happiness at getting something that doesn't belong to it and its happiness at getting away with taking something that doesn't belong to it.

While it is impressive that the demon king of wrath can scheme, it is unfortunate that his scheme is shallow and that the demon king he is scheming against is very unreasonable. Aeternus attacked him immediately. He shot a black blade of energy at the snake demon. The snake demon king was startled. He expected Aeternus to reject his request and not attack outright.

He defended himself quickly so the black blade of chaos energy didn't dissect it. It was a hasty and messy defense. He managed to use his curved blade to block the attack just in time. The blade of energy scattered when it struck its curved blade. Some of it splashed onto his reinforced scales and began to corrode it.

Black spots began to spread over his body. The snake demon king hurriedly purged the corrosive energy. He is largely unscathed but the damage to his image has been done. The snake demon king glared resentfully at his assailant but he got a dismissal in return. Aeternus didn't even look at the result of the clash. The attack was casual and not meant to kill. Then he ignored the snake demon king and moved to retrieve his loot.

He said to them as he flew by, "These 5 are all mine including the loot in their divine kingdom."

He spoke with a tone of finality. It made him sound stubborn and unreasonable. The snake demon king became furious. He felt that the reaper could have said something first instead of attacking outright. There was no negotiation or diplomacy. It means the Reaper doesn't think he is worthy of those. The lack of respect is glaring and obvious.

So is it, a demon king of wrath supposed to just take the attack and do nothing? No, it will not. He will not take such treatment from another demon king. It is worse that it is a demon king on the same level as him that disrespected him so blatantly. He was about to fly off his hinges but calmed down when the succubus queen signaled for him to wait. So he exhaled slowly. Blue flames were ejected from its nostrils. They are hitter than the normal red flames that he produces.

"Calm down. Let's talk about this. Let me give it a try." She said secretly to the snake demon king.

The succubus queen didn't want to get involved even after the snake demon king roped her into his agenda. But she couldn't help but feel pain that she won't have a share of more loot. Godhoods aside, the wealth in the divine kingdoms is enormous. The Celestials have lived for a very long time and have accumulated wealth for millions of years.

Some Celestials in other planes with an average belief in Gods are wealthy enough to employ the services of Origin gods. Even Ode, the Celestial of Battle in a plane with a low amount of respect for gods could tempt 3 Origin gods to work for him despite their fear for the racial council.

This plane on the other hand has a very high respect for god with a high amount of the population believing in gods. It is not an understatement to say that an origin god could build a world and become a world god with the amount of wealth available here.

Just imagine that. The Celestials have accumulated enough wealth to build a world. That is no small thing that anyone can look over. The Authority of the Celestial Supreme is already enough to tempt demon gods. Demon gods will certainly go crazy at the amount of wealth here.

All that wealth is there for the taking now but Aeternus alone will get 80% of all of it while the two of them will share the remaining 20% amongst themselves. It makes her heart ache in longing just from thinking about it. It is one thing to not give them a piece of the godhoods but it is another thing for him to keep all that wealth to himself. She won't have it if she can help it.
