Chapter 1343 A Dangerous Hobby.


    ??It was because of the trait of preparedness that he survived the first sage''s scheme against him in the Unified Skill Index. And it is because of this preparedness that he nned for a way to divert the disaster that would have urred to them had the n failed.


    That contingency n which is the same one they have in case CARNAGE escapes is to divert most of the cmity to the first sage. So even if the n to use CARNAGE as fuel to kickstart their World Engine failed, they would have angered the first sage at most and had to limit their activities to the realm. That isn''t much of a problem for them.


    It is still a risky and dangerous n that they executed only because of their trust in Soverick. If they can''t trust themselves, who will they trust? If it were any other person who certified the n and rmended it to them, they would have run away without turning back.


    "Enjoy your rest for now Legion-7. We have a lot of work to do to put up my new and improvedw matrix." Soverick said to Legion-7 before turning his attention to analyzing CARNAGE to help Aeternus with theprehension of thew of Chaos.


    They have just finished a n that took hundreds of years of work. They are tired so they are going to rest a little. Of course, they won''t be wasting their time during this rest. They will just do less intensive and dangerous things like developing themselves before they resume building the world fragment.


    Legion-5 asked Aeternus, "What did the demon god of Wrath give you for selling the coordinates of the Lumen ne to it?"


    Aeternus replied, "He promised never to harm me until the end of the era of conquest and to protect me against GREED during the era of conquest."


    Legion-5 chuckled. "What a fortunate demon god. WRATH is lucky that he wasn''t the one that took the bait."


    AETERNUS added, "It is also good for us that WRATH didn''t fall into our trap. I will have a protector during the era of conquest against GREED. GREED won''t be able to interfere with our ns then. Better CARNAGE than WRATH."


    Legion-5 nodded in agreement. But he stillined, "Still, the price of the coordinates of a ne for protection seems to be too high. Is WRATH the greedy one all along?"


    Aeternus chuckled at that. "It might be because I antagonized the demon gods during the setup of the Abyssal Coalition."


    Legion-7 agreed. "If I were WRATH, I would be pissed at you too and ask for an exorbitant amount to protect you."


    Legion-5 snickered, "WRATH didn''t gain anything at the end of the day so his attempt to fleece us failed."


    AETERNUS also chuckled. "I am sure WRATH will be very wrathful because it missed out on a world spark. It will be doubly wrathful when it finds out that it was all a trap."


    They allughed just thinking about it. The thought that they manipted beings stronger than them and dared to trap one is truly an amusing pastime. If it weren''t so dangerous, then they would do it more often.


    WRATH didn''t find the Lumen ne by chance. Its coordinates were leaked to it. The Origin gods of the Lumen ne were bitter about the loss of their ne but they were not bitter enough to find a demon god to leak the location of their ne to a demon god. Even if they were that bitter, Aeternus had already made a deal with WRATH before they could attempt it.


    Aeternus is wealthy. He doesn''tck normal things and the WRATH can''t give him what hecks. WRATH doesn''t even have a world spark while they are willing to use a world spark as bait to trap demon gods. It is safe to say that WRATH doesn''tpare to them in wealth. If not for its power, then they wouldn''t have needed to bait it too.


    Aeternus asked for protection from WRATH. WRATH thought it was doing Aeternus a favor but it didn''t know that it too was being targeted by them. Legion prepared for a lot of alternative oues. WRATH didn''te to the Lumen ne just to make CARNAGE give up on the ne and to make CARNAGE preupied. WRATH was also an alternative target for their trap.


    If by chance, CARNAGE didn''t go after the world spark because it was suspicious, WRATH would have surely gone after it. The presence of WRATH would have surelypelled CARNAGE to also go after it. Either way, at least, one of them would have taken the bait and fallen into the trap.


    If it was WRATH that fell into the trap, then Legion would have had no need to worry because WRATH swore not to harm Aeternus no matter what Aeternus did. At the time WRATH took that Oath, it didn''t think there was anything a demon king could do to harm it. And the Oath had a deadline. So it was willing to swear the Oath for a chance to deal a massive blow to CARNAGE.


    That Oath would have led to its envement within the world of Legion-1 had it taken the bait. And he wouldn''t do anything to them even if it broke out because it would be harming Aeternus.


    Legion-5 said proudly, "We are getting closer and closer to greatness. One of us might not be able to achieve it, but together, perfection is made possible. For we are Legion."


    Aeternus and Legion-7 finished his sentence for him.


    "And Legion is seeking perfection in numbers. To acquire perfection as one."


    Some might say that they courted death with their risky n and those people would be right but those people would never be able to achieve what they achieved. It is because they have such a dangerous hobby that they can break their limits and the limits of what''s possible in the void universe.
