GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

A certain Origin god couldn't help but become excited when he saw that Legion-5 was about to enjoy himself instead of throwing himself into harsh training.

That Origin god thought to himself in anticipation, "Maybe I will get something from his body after all."

Many entities believe that he is not going to survive the blood crucible. They think so because the blood crucible is no joke to normal Shapiros who have been raised in peace and with the best luxury since day one.

It will come to them as a shock when they find out that they have to fight and kill each other to survive. These are hatchlings that don't know anything about fighting for survival apart from what they heard in stories. However, he is no stranger to danger. So he will just lay back and relax.

He looked around his large house and nodded appreciatively. "I could get used to this. Even Soverick didn't get one. Maybe my situation isn't so bad."

He was jealous of Soverick's weak parents before but this house has made up for any grievances he had with the Supreme Alliance. Soverick's parents might have been pushovers but even Soverick didn't get a whole house to himself.

Soverick had to manage a single room with two other troublemakers. Then Soverick had to weasel his own room from his parents. It is true that he has to fight and kill other Shapiros who are essentially his brothers and sisters, but it seems like a worthy exchange to him.

Besides, he would have found a way to kill his siblings even if there wasn't an official opportunity to do so like the blood crucible. It would have been very difficult to find and kill 254 of his siblings on his own so he felt that he should be grateful to the Supreme Alliance for making everything easy for him.

The information he just acquired has made him understand why the blood crucible is very important to the Supreme Alliance. So he is extra impressed that they bothered to pamper them during the process.

Just thinking about it made him snicker again. "They understand that the blood crucible is very dangerous and yet they tried to make the process as stress-free as much as possible. I shouldn't be surprised by it but I didn't know that the Supreme Alliance has so much money to burn."

They gave him a big house. So he has a whole house all to himself for the short period of time that he might have before he dies in the blood crucible. He can't leave his house but he doesn't have to since it has every amenities that he could ever need.

Apparently, If he is to die in the blood crucible, the Supreme Alliance wants to make sure he will enjoy his remaining time until he does. Other Shapiros might be too wound up and anxious to enjoy the amenities provided but not him.

He can see that they the Supreme Alliance has done its best for the Shapiros. They also gave him five slaves to increase his chances of survival. He got two old guys as his teachers. The two of them are free citizens of the plane. They didn't need to risk their lives to make him survive the blood crucible but they did it to get a better life for their descendants.

The magic teacher is the only young teacher he has. She is risking her life to increase her citizenship level. As for the cook and servant. They have always been slaves right from when they were born. They were raised and trained for this very purpose.

His caretaker or cook's purpose is to cook for him and see to his dietary needs. Food laden with mana is very good to have during intensive training. It will help the Shapiros grow stronger and faster. He may not need to train, but her services will not go to waste.

He thought about his servants and shook his head. "I won't get rid of them now. They serve little purpose now but it doesn't serve any purpose for him for me to get rid of them either. They might be of use to me in the future so I will let them be for now."

Ideally, he is supposed to allow them to do what they are trained to do. Unfortunately for them, he doesn't need their expertise. His history teacher is unnecessary but he is here to answer any questions he has about the supreme beast race. His martial and magic teachers who are supposed to be the most important ones are the most useless ones to him.

His situation has flipped. The truly important slaves to him are the other two. His cook and servant aren't meant to increase his chances of survival directly but their use has increased now because he only cares about the food that they will bring him.

He thought about killing the other three since they are a waste of space but he decided otherwise. He isn't going to get rid of the useless ones because their continued existence doesn't affect him negatively. Their death on the other hand might affect him negatively. It is as they say, it is better to have something and not need it than need something and not have it.

"I have the soul crystals you asked for, young master."

The historian brought the first batch of memory crystals to him as he waited for his food. They are in a rack and they contain information about various topics. He was supposed to go through them and ask his history teacher for advice or explanation. He could also be too lazy to go through them and instead rely on his history teacher to read them to him. But he is not going to do any of that.

He picked up the memory crystals one by one and went through them quickly with his divine sense. He absorbed the knowledge within them without any stress then he waved the old man away.
