Chapter 1459 Food For Thought.

The demon that succeeds in killing the intruder will be rewarded by the abyss, so many demons are flying in the direction of the intruder. As demon gods, the reward is too small for them, so they didn't bother with it.

However, they had to change their minds when word reached them about the intruder. It turned out that the intruder came to the abyss to fight a demon king who invaded his plane. The intruder succeeded in killing the demon king and he even destroyed the plane of the demon king.

This act angered the demons, but they were more concerned by the Authority of the Celestial Supreme that the desceased demon king was hording in his plane. It led to a massive in fighting among the demons. Now it has also drawn WRATH's and PRIDE's attention.

The Authority of the Celestial Supreme is a good thing for demon kings and demon gods. Demon gods can use it to increase their power capacity by a large amount. They will be able to imbibe energy into the capacity and become stronger.

If their capacity increases to a certain level, they will become capable of assimilating all the marks of sin of their particular sin. So the Authority of the Celestial Supreme is incredibly tempting to demon gods.

If they are a demon god like PRIDE who just fought with an entity that stole their power capacity to become stronger, then this Authority of the Celestial Supreme is just what is needed to heal.

The three demon gods didn't say anything to each other before speeding towards the Authority of the Celestial Supreme. PRIDE is currently the strongest and the most desperate so it was willing to burn the energy needed to reach the bounty first.

LUST and WRATH could only watch him go. LUST gave up, but not WRATH. WRATH had already sent for clones when it was fighting PRIDE. Now it is redirecting them for a new purpose.

What PRIDE and WRATH didn't know was that this was all a trap, and Aeternus was waiting for his prey to enter it. He was using Legion-1's second concept to hide himself. It is an ability he has gained ever since he joined with Legion-unity.

He couldn't fuse with Legion-7 before because of Chaos energy. That changed when he became a demonic spark and gained an innate immunity to Chaos energy. By fusing with Legion-7, Legion-7 and the clones that have united with him also gained that immunity, so they didn't have to fear Chaos energy anymore. In return, Aeternus gained the abilities of the other clones.

He didn't do much to set up this trap. It was Legion-5 that did most of the work. Legion-5 came into the abyss and killed some random demon king while screaming about vengeance for destroying his plane.

Legion-5 was besieged by the demons that came to kill him, but he managed to get away. The demons were then distracted by the Authority of the Celestial Supreme in the wreckage of the plane.

All Aeternus did was hide himself while watching and waiting. His prey soon arrived. It was PRIDE. It came in a grand manner. It was a golden comet streaking through the air and shattering everything in its way.

Aeternus grinned and said, "What are the odds?"

PRIDE didn't notice him at all. Maybe if he had fused with his Supreme Law, a simple concept wouldn't be able to hide his existence. But his energy and him are different entities. If he puts away every trace of his energy, then it would be very easy to remain hidden from a demon god that passed him by in a hurry.

PRIDE's attention was focused on the Authority of the Celestial Supreme. It didn't pay attention to the demon kings, who were running for their lives. The Authority of the Celestial Supreme wasn't fake, and it was still present, so PRIDE was happy.

Unfortunately, Aeternus had no intention of giving up the Authority of the Celestial Supreme. It is not just bait. It can also make him stronger. He wanted to eat his cake and have it, so he used Legion-1's first ability. His face cracked open to reveal a large, bottomless maw. Then the world in front of him froze.

PRIDE was about to grab the loot when the world around it froze. It was also at that moment that Aeternus's presence was revealed.

It shrieked in anger, "It is you."

PRIDE and everything around it were forced to shrink and slowly move towards Aeternus's waiting maw. PRIDE was having none of it, so it roared and roused all of its power.

PRIDE enlarged and turned into a star. The frozen space around it was shattered with a bang. It became free from the ability, but the Authority of the Celestial Supreme was not so lucky.

The sight of its prize angered PRIDE, so it lunged for Aeternus. Aeternus struck back with his avatar. One golden star and one black metallic armor clashed in the abyss. No one could gain an advantage over the other.

Aeternus grinned as his eyes roamed all over PRIDE's body. "I am going to enjoy this."

PRIDE has weakened since the last time they fought. It was due to the fight with WRATH and the energy it expended in coming here. It couldn't produce enough energy to threaten Aeternus anymore.

Aeternus noticed this when PRIDE first showed up. That's why he didn't run away at the sight of the demon god that almost killed him a few hours ago. Now he has confirmed that PRIDE can't kill him. That means he is about to eat well.

PRIDE came to this conclusion too. It turned around quickly and ran. But it couldn't escape because Aeternus held on to it like white on rice.

Only in this case, Aeternus is black, while PRIDE is golden. Despite these differences, PRIDE is certainly rice. By the time Aeternus is through with it, PRIDE would have become black rice. This much Aeternus swore.
