GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1618: A Joke Or A Scheme.
Chapter 1618: A Joke Or A Scheme.
They had surrounded the demon god eater with all of them, hoping to overwhelm it or wear it down. At the end of the day, it was as if they had thrown good food at it. It had grown stronger and reduced their chances of turning the situation around to nothing.
That experience taught them why they killed every demon king of kings they found. Demon god eaters are better eliminated when they are young and weak, not when they are capable of participating in the theft of the abyss.
Fortunately, there are smart and cunning demon gods among them. They are stumped, but they still have moves to make. LIES still had a suggestion about what moves they should make.
LIES said, "We have two choices. One is to wait. We can accumulate energy silently over a long time during the era of conquest and return stronger to beat the herald of chaos, or whatever he calls himself."
"That will take a lot of time and might not work because there's nothing stopping the herald of chaos from also growing stronger in the meantime. It might also be too late by the time we are ready to save the abyss. There might be no abyss waiting for us anymore."
"The advantage of this decision is that if we succeed, then we will get to keep both the god and the opportunity of the abyss. The disadvantage is that if we lose, then we will lose everything. We will waste time and energy just to lose the abyss and the god."
"The second option is to enlist the help of the demon gods from the High Heaven Realm. I am sure none of them can resist the temptation of a god who can make us evolve. They will surely work together with us, and we might be able to defeat the herald of chaos with our combined might."
"The disadvantage of this choice is that we might lose the god to them. But we will get to keep the opportunity of the abyss for ourselves. After all, they are invaders. They can't
compete with us for it. Only one of us can earn it."
LIES asked them, "So which option do we pick?"
It could have presented this decision to them earlier, 50 years ago, when they first started throwing themselves at the herald of chaos. But it didn't because it wanted the other demon gods to suffer at the hands of Aeternus just like it did. After all, the demon gods are
competitors, not friends. They can't all become world enders even with two opportunities to do so.
The decision would have also been rejected back then because the demon gods would want to give up the god. They didn't know how fearsome the herald of chaos was, so they were still full of optimism. That optimism had been ground down by dread now, so they took this decision seriously.
The demon gods considered the decisions and agreed to get the help of the demon gods from the high heaven realm. They went together to speak with the demon gods. The one they met with first was WRATH. freewebnøvel.coɱ
WRATH asked them excitedly, "You have a god that can turn a demon god into a world ender in this realm? I have never heard of such a god. Where is it?"
LIES replied, "It is in the abyss."
WRATH was about to say, "Let us go."
But then it stopped in confusion and asked, "In the abyss? Which abyss? Yours or mine? Wait a minute. Is this god suicidal? How would it dare to enter any abyss?"
LUST replied, "We are not lying. It is truly in our abyss, and it is stealing the abyss."
WRATH said calmly, "So not only is the god in the abyss, it is also stealing abyssal planes brazenly. This is not a matter of being suicidal or stupid. This god must be very powerful to do so. Or you wouldn't have come to me at all."
WRATH isn't stupid. It is just rash. Even so, it was able to notice the peculiarities of this event. Most importantly, it knows that demons are not kind. They wouldn't have brought this information to it if they could monopolize it.

It said to them, "If all of you couldn't subdue this god and monopolize it, then that means it must be very strong. You better tell me what's really going on here. Are you planning to lure me into the abyss and then gang up on me to kill me? Is this story bait to scheme against me?"
WRATH became wary immediately. All of these smell like a scheme to target it. These demons shouldn't have a reason to target it since they should be helping it destroy the realm. But it also shouldn't be helping the high heaven realm win the war, and yet, here it is. So anything is possible nowadays.
What also fueled its caution is the fact that it has never heard of a god that can help a demon god evolve, and it has never heard of a god that can fight a demon god. But not only can this god fight a demon god, it can fight several of them and defeat them.
As if this is not laughable enough, this kind of god has never appeared in the high heaven realm, where there are a lot of gods. At the very least, it has never heard of such a god.
But they want it to believe that such a god appeared in this realm where there should be no gods. It is a joke for it to believe them. If it is a joke, then it is not laughing because it doesn't find this funny.
If this is not a hoax, then it might very well be a trap for it. It is a trap with a good bait. Unfortunately, the bait is not believable or they would have succeeded in fooling it.
