Chapter 1614: A Secret.

Not even the temptation of the Tree Father could make GREED stay. It prioritized its life above its GREED immediately it saw Aeternus.

GREED had heard a lot about Aeternus, so it didn't bother to fight when it confirmed what it heard through its sight. As they say, seeing is believing. It believed that it would die, so it ran.

Aeternus ate demon gods, while the Tree Father refined abyssal planes. Unlike the high heaven realm, the abyss of the Tyrant realm has fewer abyssal planes. Even so, there were more than 666 abyssal planes, as that is the minimum for the abyss. That means it will take a long time for him to refine them.

The first abyssal plane had cost him six months of time to inspect and analyze before the refinement. At that rate, the remaining 700 of them will cost him 350 years to refine. It is a long time, but he can't complain. After all, he is growing stronger by doing it.

Even Aeternus is growing stronger with every demon he kills. Demons weaker than demon kings can't nourish him much. But each demon possesses a mark of sin. That is the same number of marks that he has.

No matter how powerful a demon is, they will have the same number of marks of sin as a fledgling. They will have just one. Within that single mark of sin is the potential to become a demon god.

By stealing their marks of sin and sacrificing them to the crown of dominion, he can strengthen his own mark of sin significantly. It is the same thing that demon gods are supposed to do when their capacity becomes large enough. They will steal every mark of sin from demons with their sin. Then they will use the potential in all of them to evolve into world enders.

He doesn't have the capacity yet, and his mark of sin doesn't have the authority to pull the other marks to himself. But he can take those marks for himself by killing their wielders. And through the crown of dominion, he can achieve what he can't do himself.

Plus, he is not constrained by the demons of a particular sin. He can sacrifice every type of demon to his mark of Chaos. This way, his mark of sin increased in power by more than a thousand times. It was even changing within him. Legion was full of expectations for what it would bring forth.

The two clones let loose in the abyss without worry that the realm lord will be angry with them. They were even getting paid for their good work.

-GREED.

This demon god of the sin of greed from the high heaven realm took one look at Aeternus and turned around immediately. It forgot that it had promised to kill Aeternus whenever it had the chance and remembered that it should be somewhere else. But would Aeternus let it go? Not easily.

Aeternus chased after it and took away half of its body before it escaped. He succeeded because he aimed for the speed of light immediately he began chasing. He didn't think about the energy costs at all.

GREED, on the other hand, didn't think he would be so determined and wasn't willing to burn so much energy because the faster it pushed itself, the more energy it would have to spend.

So GREED was moving at a faster, but albeit conservative, speed for energy efficiency. Meanwhile, Aeternus was blazing after it right from the start. By the time GREED realized what was wrong, it was too late to accelerate fast enough to escape.

Plus, the Supreme Law of GREED is not good at speed, so even though it can reach the speed of light, its acceleration is slower than that of someone like LUST and PRIDE. Aeternus caught up to it and gave it a nice beating.

GREED finally realized just how terrifying Aeternus was. It had to sacrifice half of its body to escape. It divided its body into two and ran in different directions. This weakened it, but it allowed it to escape.

Things would have gone worse had it gotten entangled with Aeternus, but it still wasn't happy. Fortunately, it knew a secret that kept it positive.

It thought to itself, "Just wait. You will regret this soon."

It decided to be patient in the meantime and schedule revenge for the future. In the meantime, it made its way to the main plane of the Tyrant Realm. It is there that it is going to play its part as a traitor in this war. It is going to meet the Tyrants and offer them council on how to defeat their enemies.

The Tyrant Realm has been thrown upside down and is being ravaged. But ironically enough, the bulk of the power of the Tyrants is still preserved.

The divine plane might be gone, the abyss might be on its way to destruction, 97% of the main plane might have fallen under the control of demon gods, and billions of tyrants have died, but the 100,000 Supreme Tyrants are still alive. Most importantly, the Tyrant realm hasn't lost yet.

These 100,000 Supreme Tyrants with Supreme Power can still turn things around if they get the right information and the right tools. They don't have those things, but a traitor will be able to give them inside information and might be able to help them acquire the right tools to strive for victory.

GREED had come up with a plan that might help the Tyrants not only stop the demon gods but also manage to push them back. The Tyrants will be able to reclaim part of their lost land, if not all. But first, it has to convince them that it is not a spy for the High Heaven Realm.

GREED was surrounded by 10 Supreme Tyrants when it got to the meeting point. It didn't appear like a meeting at all. It looked more like an ambush.
