GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1709: A Wrong Notion.



Most of them that were unhappy with the creation of a new world forge were jealous of the Cosmic energy in their possession. The first sage certainly is. The first sage is extra jealous now that he needs a lot of Cosmic force for his plan to become an Usurper.

Legion has been very kind enough to provide him with a very rare material, and his foresight has been enough to turn that rare material into a rare opportunity. So he has been working hard to make use of that opportunity.

He is creating an Apocalypse weapon. It would be best if a world forge helped him out with it, but it is very difficult to get them to do anything for anyone because they don't need anything from anyone.

World forges that chose to become Archons get whatever they need from the void universe, so there's very little that he can use to move them. They also don't like him because of the false notion that he cheats, so he is alone in his crafting endeavor.

Forging is not his forte. That is putting it lightly. He is very bad at forging. He has the knowledge of forging now, but he didn't add it to his Supreme Law back when he was making it. So his Supreme Law won't give him any advantage in it. But things are worse than that.

He is his Supreme Law now, and everything he does is affected by it. That means anything he tries to forge is affected by his inept Supreme Law. It makes him extra bad at forging.

This has made him fail several times at forging what he wanted. He will eventually be able to build what he wants, as every world god can build anything. But without expert knowledge of what he wants to build, it will take a lot of time and energy for him to build it.

Fortunately, Cosmic energy is an Immortal energy. It cannot be destroyed as long as it hasn't been transformed into something else. So, it survived all his failed attempts. But one thing is clear to him. It is that he will need more Cosmic energy if he is going to succeed with this forging.

He doesn't have a lot of time or energy on his hands. He needs to get one or the other for him to succeed. He can get more time by increasing the flow of time in his world, but he will need Cosmic energy for that. The alternative is to use that Cosmic energy to overcome his bad forging skills directly.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He grumbled and asked himself, "But where am I to get that much Cosmic energy?"

A world god that is good with forging will require less Cosmic energy for what he wants to create. But he is not proficient at all, so he needs at least three times what a proficient forger will need. And he needs it badly before Legion makes their move against him.

"This is why I need to acquire a Cosmic source and become an Usurper. This is why I must succeed in the fight against Legion, Ghastorix, Serpentine, and that unknown entity. But I need the apocalypse weapon for that."

He is in a true dilemma despite being a rich world god. He is very rich in every aspect apart from Cosmic energy. Cosmic energy is too precious for world gods. They need it to grow their Supreme Law, but they don't know how to produce it. The only way to get it is to steal it. That means organizing a raid on a world forge or stealing a Cosmic source.

World forges are no slouch. Rarely do they ever succeed in becoming world forges on their own, so almost everyone of them is an Archon of the void universe. That means they have the support of the void universe. So a fight with them is two against one at the very least.

Even without the assistance of the void universe, they are nearly indestructible and impossible to kill. This is why they can handle world enders, while world gods have to run away from world enders. The bestowal of the Authority of the void universe is like adding wings to tigers for them.

So raiding a world forge is a difficult and dangerous option. But it is the easiest and most available option compared to stealing Cosmic sources. At least, world forges can be found, but Cosmic sources are hidden.

Without getting in touch with a Cosmic source first, it is impossible to approach it and be destroyed by the overwhelming power that it contains. It is a fact that even if a Cosmic force is right in front of some world gods, they are more likely to die because of it than succeed in stealing it.

So a world god will need information about how to find Cosmic sources. Those are rare and probably more difficult to find. It is more likely to stumble upon a Cosmic source than to find someone who has the information about how to find one and is willing to give or even sell the information.

As if that isn't enough, they will need a powerful force to contend with the Cosmic source. An apocalypse weapon empowered by Chaos essence is the minimum to have any chance of success. If one can get an apocalypse weapon empowered with a world ender, then one's chance of success will increase to 50%.

But where will anyone find a world ender that will willingly enter an apocalypse weapon. There is none. He will have to force that world ender into the apocalypse weapon. But that will be too dangerous for him to do.

He will have to find a mythical world ender that lacks Chaos essence for a period of time. Only then will he be able to force the world ender into the apocalypse weapon and use the weapon to subdue the Cosmic source after the world ender acquires Chaos essence.

A/N: And he wonders why Archons think he is a cheater.
