GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 2012: Investment Venture.

Legion-0 didn’t press the matter. She had already gotten what she wanted anyway.

Instead, she suggested, "You can help me by bringing me to the world gods that you want to introduce the network artifact to and recommend me to them. With you by my side, they will be easily convinced." Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy

Before the works god could reply, she said, "Don’t worry that I will make you bear the risk. I am willing to swear the oath that everything will be fine."

The world god laughed and said, "I have many friends and enemies. I can recommend you to them."

So the two of them went to recommend the gospel of Legion to more world gods. Of course, they don’t know that what they are joining is Legion and that what they are doing is giving Legion access to their inner world.

Currently, it has been 100 years since Legion became world gods. Their power had increased rapidly as they converted many Supreme Origin gods to Legion-0.

It takes about 10 years to convert a Supreme Origin god into a world god fit for Legion-0. This time is longer for others since they need to build their worlds. But Legion-0 doesn’t need the quality of their worlds. He only needs the size of their worlds and existence.

This means that they don’t need to use the fragments of a realm heart to help the world gods build their world. Using the Authority of the Celestial Supreme and Life Crystals, which they can produce themselves, is more than enough.

With every clone working constantly and multitasking, they have managed to recruit 105 new world gods, all with four Aspects. So the total size of Legion-0 is 106 x 4, which is 424.

That makes the individual power of Legion stand at (12 Aspects x (12 Aspects x (5 World Engine + 5 World Seed + 1 Limitless)) x 424 Legion-0). It works out to 671,616.

It would have been more if their limitless attribute would increase. Unfortunately, it would take an origin cycle before they can achieve a substantial increase in size.

But this much power in a hundred years is already impressive. Together with the aspect of Unity their power becomes 96,712,704.

The best part of this power is that there is no visible end in sight. As long as they encounter Supreme Origin gods, they can continue to grow stronger.

But of course, this is not enough for them when they can achieve more. They decided not to go after world god since it would be inefficient and take too much time to find them and then force them to join Legion-0. But force is not the only way to do things.

They decided to entice world gods with power. That is what Legion-0 is doing. Currently, it is not gaining any power from the world gods. It is instead giving them power for free. But that is only for now.

The power that the world gods received is an investment on the part of Legion. When Legion needs the return on their investment, they will forcefully take over the world and use the Aspect of Infection to overwrite the Supreme laws of the world god. This will force them to join with Legion-0 completely and increase Legion’s power immediately.

This will be much easier to do than attacking them from outside. It will be just like how the first sage succeeded in infiltrating them where Draco failed.

They will have access to the world heart of the world god itself, so it will be easy to force the world god to join them then. They won’t need to break through the defense of the world gods after Legion-0 entices them with benefits to grant it access to their inner world.

Of course, the clone of Legion-0 that was used to recruit the world gods will have to die. This is because the clone had sworn that everything would be fine. Once everything goes bad, her Supreme law will scatter, and she will have to die.

This is something that Legion can’t do anything about. But Legion is willing to sacrifice one clone of Legion-0 to gain a hundred world gods or even a thousand if they delay collecting interest for a long time.

Only this single clone will die if something goes wrong. Legion-0 will be safe because he is just a universal artifact whose foundation is the Supreme law of Legion-1 and others.

None of the main twelve clones made the oath, so they will be fine too. So while they are forcefully recruiting Supreme Origin gods and the occasional world god, Legion-0 is using sweet words and false promises to recruit world gods.

Legion-0 was even being introduced to many other world gods by those that had already swallowed the poisonous pill.

Legion-0’s plan became so successful that he became popular. Many world gods heard of it and wanted to join the network artifact.

Legion found it amusing that even though world gods are much stronger than Supreme origin gods, they will end up exactly like the Supreme origin gods at the end of the day. What’s made them laugh is that the world gods are the ones offering themselves up for enslavement now.

Legion-0 mostly enjoyed success, but there were situations where some world gods refused outright or even attacked her to gain control of the network artifact. Things didn’t end well for those world gods.

Not only is Legion-0 strong on her own and can beat most world gods, but she also has a backup of twelve whales who are not picky about what they put in their mouths.

While the god of power and Legion were growing stronger, the first sage was also busy with refining the cosmic source.

It has been 400 years since he pulled off his scheme and began subduing the Cosmic Source.

Everything is going well. In fact, everything is going a little too well.

The rate at which the Cosmic source is weakening is fast. It is so fast it is bordering on too fast. It is definitely faster than his best estimates.
