GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

For one, they both came from the same source so there is no rejection between them. Legion-7 also doesn't have a physical body as he is a spiritual entity so there is no clash in terms of physical location. Instead, Legion-5's slot for divine ability can be used as Legion-7's body to facilitate the fusion between them.

Inside Legion-5 are 9 empty bubbles. They are the slots for his divine ability. Legion-7 entered one of them and occupied it so a round translucent being with tentacles appeared in the slot. This led to the reduction of the burden on Legion-5.

Legion-5 decided to consider his future. "My first divine ability is decided. I have to get the dragon core for the second one. Let me make preparations for the others."

He thought to himself. "Which of these three divine abilities should I choose?"

He got three seeds of power from the sea of despair. These seeds of power come from three different races so they have three different divine abilities. He has to decide on what to do with them so he examined them while fusing with Legion-7.

One of them belongs to the Stellos race which grants the ability to gain an Origin diamond body that is capable of refining itself and growing stronger by using energy from light.

The Supreme Alliance doesn't lack defensive divine abilities. In fact, the defensive ability of the Origin diamond is not the strongest divine ability that they have acquired. But the potential of the Origin divine ability is very high. It can grow stronger with Origin energy and it is very light, unlike other defensive divine abilities.

The best part of this divine ability is that the Origin diamond that the body has turned into can be shifted to create a sharp edge capable of cutting almost everything. So the divine ability is a combination of defensive and attacking capabilities.

The second seed of power is from the pitter race who have bad eyesight but can always identify dangerous things. Their eye can see through camouflaged beings by focusing on the energy contained within them.

Their vision is blurry but they are able to identify dangerous objects and people through the quantity and quality of energy they possess. They were able to avoid danger with their eyes but ordinary objects can still kill them. On the plus side, they were good at finding and identifying treasures. They were the first races to know about the reclusive Stellos who liked to sleep like harmless rocks.

The third seed of power is from the switch race who have special muscles that can store vast amounts of energy. It makes the switch race very fast and agile. Their muscles also don't tire easily giving them a lot of stamina. This ability eventually upgraded to give the switch race a larger control of world power as titans of law.

Their body became capable of storing world power just like Soverick's 9 golden orbs as titans of law so they can use world power to speed up their bodies instead of being limited to just making their attacks stronger. This divine ability ensured that they managed to survive in the plane.

Legion-7 commented. "These three divine abilities belong to the 3 of the top races on the plane. It is clear that they are very useful and can increase survivability. So what do you want to do with them?"

Legion-5 snickered, "The Supreme Alliance is so stingy and cunning. It is unfortunate that I am not so easy to fool."

The three seeds of power belong to the top five races that inhabit this plane. They were at the planar portal to defend the plane when it was invaded. Thousands of their sovereigns died there but the Supreme Alliance left just three seeds of power.

It is not a decision made entirely out of selfishness. They left only 3 to limit the amount of resources that the young one could get and to limit the amount of young Supreme beasts that would make stupid decisions.

These seeds of power are worth one point each if returned to the Supreme Alliance, but they will be worth more than that if they are to be bought from the Supreme Alliance. Each divine ability from the Supreme Alliance costs at least 10 points. So the young supreme beasts have to make the decision between returning the seeds of power or using it for themselves.

Some foolish ones won't be able to curb their greed. They will want to use it even though they don't know what the seeds of power do or what laws they contain.

Each seed of power looks different but that doesn't mean anything. The young supreme beasts won't be able to tell what divine abilities they contain or what laws they contain at a glance. But they might be pressed for power or in a hurry to gain an advantage so they try their luck and hope for the best. If they do this, then only three young Supreme beasts might waste their potential this way and not more.

Some other foolish ones will refuse to try their luck and return the seeds of power to the Supreme Alliance in exchange for points. They are too stupid to realize that there are more than two options. They can keep the seeds of power for negotiation or until they find someone to help them identify the divine ability that it possesses.

This third option is for those who can look beyond short-term gratification and can also fulfill those long-term goals. It is a test of wisdom and restraint for the young Supreme Beasts.

The Supreme Alliance is cunning in that way. Every step of the rite of passage has been tailor-made to test the wisdom of young supreme beasts or teach them life lessons needed for them to gain experience. It is just that they didn't account for someone like Legion-5. He is very familiar with laws and concepts.
