GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1911  A Golden Pyramid.

This is something that has never happened before. In the past, the creature would only be close to their position whenever they entered or exited the Spiritual Dimension. But this time, it appeared at the exact same spot that Soverick exited the Spiritual Dimension. He attempted to lose the creature by diving back into the spiritual dimension. But the same thing happened again. The strange creature followed right after him and appeared at the same spot he entered from. The creature laughed from behind him, "There's no escaping me now. Retribution is inevitable. I am inevitable."

Soverick didn't reply. He returned to the void universe again to lose the creature. Unfortunately, it didn't work. What's worse was that there were other clones of the strange creature there waiting for Soverick.

Apparently they could share information between themselves so all of them were aware of his position. Now all of them can track him just as well as the one that marked him. Soverick tried to remain calm, but he still complained. "You didn't mention this either."

Legion-7 chuckled nervously, "Alright. Maybe things are a little bit out of hand. But just remember the plan; try your best to escape."

They didn't expect the other creatures to ambush him, but they couldn't stop the plan anymore. The creature was already trying to get close to him and work its way into his mind. It was now or never.

So Soverick ran for his dear life. He dodged everywhere trying to lose his pursuers. But they surrounded him tightly and refused to be left behind. In fact, over time, many more of the strange creatures appeared around Soverick. So they were all around Soverick when the trap was sprung. Five clones of Legion were each holding one Authority of the Void Universe. These five golden orbs are part of the same structure. This structure is supposed to be a tetrahedron.

The five golden orbs are its vertices and are bound with cosmic force to form an enclosed structure. Cosmic force was used to create the face of the tetrahedron so the structure is a tightly sealed golden pyramid. But this pyramid had been stretched far beyond what it should be. Instead of there being a distance of a hundred meters between the vertices, there is a distance of a hundred thousand kilometers. It took a lot of power to stretch it and keep the corners of the pyramid that far apart. They did it so that those who are within the pyramid won't know that they are in it because of its size. But now they are letting the corners go. So the pyramid began to shrink. The pyramid was shrinking in such a way that Soverick was at its center. This was not a coincidence. It was orchestrated, but it was not easy to pull off either. The pyramid didn't move. It had been set up while the strange creatures were chasing Soverick. Whoever the bait was had to be able to see the location of all five corners of the pyramids, calculate the center accurately, and appear within it after crossing the barrier between the void universe and the Spiritual Dimension. This requirement needed a precision unlike any other to confirm what Legion-7 wanted and for the bait to appear in the void universe in the exact coordinates at the center of the pyramid. That's why Soverick was the bait.

It didn't come as a surprise to him when the tetrahedron snapped into place and sealed him. But it certainly caught his pursuers off guard. Actually, he was supposed to escape from it. It would have been easy to do with one strange creature chasing him, but they didn't plan for almost all of them to surround and pursue him.

While he could still escape easily by teleporting to one of the other clones, he wasn't allowed to do that. He had to struggle against the collapse of space and time around him in order to escape the grip of the trap just like the other strange creatures. The cosmic force connecting the four authorities of the void universe was like an elastic material that had been stretched too far; now that it was released, it sought equilibrium and to return to its normal state. Hence the collapse of time and space. The force of the collapse was so powerful that it could kill any origin god. It was not a wonder why Soverick couldn't survive it without actively defending himself. He was crushed and killed.

As for the strange creatures, they were able to survive the collapse. They were as durable as world fragments after all. Unfortunately, they couldn't escape the collapse. After all, if Soverick couldn't escape it, they were unlikely to either. The worst part was that the force of the collapse didn't dissipate. It remained trapped along with the strange creatures within the golden pyramid.

In fact, the force had become compressed to the point that it solidified. This, combined with the power of the Cosmic force, caused everything within the pyramid to freeze. The strange creatures became ants stuck in amber. Next, Legion-4 and Legion-9 appeared beside the pyramid. They threw a golden hoop around it. This golden hoop was a world engine.

They gave this world engine some cosmic energy and made it start using their sparks of power. Then they draped the law matrix that they had prepared over the whole thing. Thus a ball made of threads of various colors appeared around the golden hoop with the golden pyramid at its center. The two clones disappeared immediately after doing this. Legion-1 came after and swallowed the contraption. Then he too disappeared into the spiritual dimension to escape.

They were so cautious and in a rush, but they didn't need to have bothered because the first sage was not interested that they had captured Green Vine. Actually, they had captured more than Green Vine. They had also captured the first sage's derivative laws that he used in creating the strange creatures.
