GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1730: A Strange New World.



Legion-1 muttered, "I feel like my mind has been sealed."

His words escaped his lips, which took him aback because he had spoken with lips different from the ones he possessed in the void universe.

It is a strange situation for him. His divine sense has been muted and shackled in this world by a prison of sorts. That prison is also the vessel he controls.

The vessel makes it possible for him to see and interact with the world, but it also prevents him from being capable of breaking anything. He can't even see the law matrix anymore. His two weak eyes can only see the trees and the forest of the Northern Domain.

His true body is still in the void universe, constantly moving so that no one will be able to pin point his position, but he can feel another body in a faraway location. This body is that of an ogre. He is a 3-meter-tall tower of brute muscle covered in a tough gray skin.

He is wearing a beast skin around his loins. Apart from that, he has nothing else on. He is barefooted and empty-handed. His long red hair is braided, while his sharp, tapered ears are flinching because of the wind.

His two eyes have black scleras, with white iris forming a ring around his golden pupils. He grumbled, and it came out surprisingly clearly from his unfamiliar mouth. His mouth is really unfamiliar because it has a pair of tusks growing out from his lower jaw.

He moved around hesitantly, expecting to stumble or fall. He expected a physical body to be inhibiting and a general burden. He was right to think so.

He nearly stumbled on the first try. His movements were jerky and unnatural. It was like he was operating a machine for the first time. Fortunately, he is not ignorant of how mortal bodies work. After all, he had once been a mortal. So it didn't take long for him to adapt to his body.

What surprised him the most was that the body was also adapting to him. It was adapting to his intentions very quickly so that his movements became faster and smoother.

He thought to himself, "It seems this is not a normal body."

Legion-2 observed, "It isn't. I think it is a divine body."

Legion-3 added, "That should be so. After all, we are god seeds. We can't have mortal bodies."

"It is still cubbersome. It is like controlling a boulder with the tip of a finger. I would rather use my hands for this."

Unfortunately, he can't use his whole hand. He can't bring the full power of his mind to bear in this world at all, so all they have to work with is the tip of their fingers. The pillar had a limit to what it could allow him to do, so he could only be content with it.

All nine of them were transported close to each other, which they find a good thing. It means that they will be able to help each other in their quest to acquire the Authority of the void universe.

They examined each other and found that they looked identical. They all had red braided hair, grey skin like stone, tusked mouths, black scleral, white iris, and golden pupils. All of these are wrapped in a beastly fur coat around their groin.

They examined their surroundings next. They walked around and felt the trees in the forest. "This world seems just like the normal void universe. I am sure it has different laws and a different law matrix, but I can't tell through this body shackling me."

"It seems the realm lord has put in a lot of work for his project. At the very least, we won't be able to sabotage his project easily."

"Not that we could even if we had the opportunity. We did sign that contract."

Legion-1 snickered and said, "But he still didn't trust the contract. He had to make sure that we wouldn't be able to do anything even if we were made enough to disregard the contract."

They were discussing when something appeared in their vision.

-You Have Received An Angel.

All 9 of them received the message, so 9 balls of light burst into being in front of them.

The angels said to them, "I am your first angel, sent to guard your way. My existence is to serve you by providing information to you. You can ask me anything you want to know, and I will try my best to answer them."

The angels were little flying insects that looked like butterflies. They flew around and buzzed about around them eagerly.

Legion-9 asked it, "All 9 of you look the same. Are you the same, or is this just a visual choice?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"We are indeed one entity. We are all part of the single subsystem in charge of assisting the gods. Think of us as clones or terminals of that subsystem."

Soverick asked with suspicion, "Why do gods need you? We didn't ask for this. Can we reject you?"

The angel replied, "You are free to reject my services, but that will not stop me from existing. I have been programmed into the very world to serve as the fountain of knowledge and the light of direction for gods."

The clones accepted it with a shrug. They couldn't do anything about the angel, so they decided to make full use of it.

Legion-3 asked, "Are you here to monitor us? It is not like the realm lord needs you to know what we are up to. Tell us what exactly you can do and cannot do."

The cheerful angel replied, "You are right. I am not needed to monitor you. There is another system for that. As for me, I can't leave more than 1 meter away from you. I can't interact with the world, so I can't help you physically. I can only be seen by you and no one else. However, I am not useless."
