GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 967 Executioner Gator.

"Yes. I was Executioner Gator." She replied. "I was great. The tree people were supposed to be our prey. We could kill them any time we want. But suddenly some of them began to fly. The ones that could fly were also capable of using the energy of the world beneath. They were stronger than us. But they are still weak. They didn't kill us. They just imprisoned us and left us to rot and die."

He muttered. "I see. I understand how you were defeated. You were not weaker than them. It is just that you didn't have Origin energy to use your divine ability to its full potential. Meanwhile, they somehow got access to origin energy."

"What's origin energy?" Gator asked.

"It is the energy of the world beneath. It is an energy superior to mana. It can only be gotten on the ancient battlefield."

Gator asked again. "What's the ancient battlefield?"

"That's the place that connects all the planes. You get access to it when you open the Planar portal. Origin energy is very powerful. Unfortunately for you, it is not freely available in a plane."

"What's a plane and a planar portal?"

He explained patiently, "This entire world is a plane. It is just a small part of the entire realm. There are more than 100,000 such planes in the realm."

Gator asked in confusion. "What is this realm you speak of? Is it the whole of existence?"

"No, it is not. It is just one of an infinite amount of realm trees in this universe."

"Wow," Gator muttered in awe.

The Executioner was shocked by the new knowledge. It kept quiet for a while to process the realization that this plane is not the whole of existence.

"There is so much in all of existence. I never thought so. And you said, "In this universe." Could there be more universes out there?"

"We don't know yet. But we will find out in time."

Gator asked anxiously, "Tell me about this planar portal that leads to the ancient battlefield and the wonders of the universe."

He sighed before he began to explain. "It is a gate. It is circular in shape. It needs the solidified divine sense of a transcendent to open. You Emperors and Executioners are transcendents so you should be able to open it."

Gator was surprised immediately. She said excitedly, "I know that gate. We found it a short while before the tree people became stronger. The Executioners didn't care about it. We just want to hunt and grow stronger. But the Emperors wanted to expand. They were wary of the gate because they didn't know where it led. But curiosity and their need to conquer finally overwhelmed their caution."

"I don't like where this is going." Ragnarok thought to himself.

"So an Emperor opened it. I wasn't there when it happened. But I heard a great white beast entered through the gate. It was unlike anything that had been ever seen. It was as beautiful as the best of gems. It sparkled brightly like a star. It was marvelous. It..."

She began describing just how beautiful and special it looked. That continued for a while. He did not interrupt her or attempt to bring back the attention of the Executioner lost in recollection. Every detail in her description might be useful in identifying the entity that entered the plane.

Unfortunately, he didn't get anything useful from her. contemporary romance

He thought to himself in pity, "The Sight of the weak is blind to the wonders of the world."

The world that the weak see is but a small portion of reality. The fact that the Warrogs "saw" this entity doesn't mean they "saw" the entity. And even if their eyes were somehow capable of seeing this entity in its entirety, their minds were definitely unable to comprehend what they saw. The best that Gator can provide are abstract descriptions of what her mind used to relate to the sight.

She eventually returned to the main topic. "I myself was not there that day. But I heard that the beast was very strong. Everyone there cowered before it when it appeared. They couldn't even take a look at it."

"It was that strong?" He asked.

"Yes, it was. Even the Emperor was not spared from this suppression. The only thing that the Emperor saw about the beast apart from its immense beauty is that it is white. But the beast didn't kill anyone. It just said, "This place is mine now." Then it flew away and disappeared. It was never seen after that."

"Well, this is very bad." He thought to himself after hearing what Gator said.

Gator hasn't seen much of the world so she doesn't understand what went wrong. Gator doesn't realize the link between the entity that entered the plane and the sudden strength of the wood elves. He on the other hand now knows how the tree people got access to the Origin energy that they used to suppress the paragons.

He also understands why the wood elves suddenly gained the ability to control plants. From what he saw in Gator's memories, the tree people were common plant spirits. They were weak and attached to a tree that they called home. They were also almost ethereal like elementals.

They fell apart in the jaws of the Executioners so Gator is very familiar with just how fragile their body was. But they suddenly gained flesh and became wood elves after the entity that laid claim to the plane entered the plane.

The reason why he feels that he is in trouble is because the wood elves became stronger while the Warrogs stagnated. It is obvious that this great entity chose the tree people over the Warrogs. The reason why that was done is something he is not clear about.

If it were him, he would have chosen the Warrogs. The Warrogs are clearly stronger. Whatever the reason is, it means that the wood elves have a backer. It is also a backer that is capable of improving an entire race either through personal strength or through the use of a powerful tool.
