GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2637: Hiding From Death.

When Legion combined the memories of the underworld with the ability to appear anywhere through the Mindscape, they were able to locate the underworld, bypass its defenses, and appear directly within it.

At this time, the god of life has just begun to fight the god of death. The god of death was already at a disadvantage and was dying, so he surely couldn’t put up a fight against them.

In fact, both the god of death and the god of life didn’t know that they had appeared in the underworld. This was because the virtual body was a mental construct that couldn’t be seen with normal eyes.

The god of death had been able to see them earlier because they had chosen to be visible to the world. But now that they had come to kill him for good, there was no need to play around anymore.

The best that the god of death could tell was that someone else had appeared in the underworld. This was because the underworld was his territory, and nothing should be hidden from him in his territory. But his best wasn’t good enough to save his life.

Legion attacked the god of life and the god of death at the same time. Their priority was the god of life, though. This was to ensure that the god of life wouldn’t escape from them.

Now that they had gained the memories of the god of death, he could no longer escape from them. Since the god of life could still escape, they decided to kill her first.

The god of life is a high god and also has the help of divine beasts to help her fight. But all of them were useless against the power of the god of telepathy. After all, they are 15 times stronger than she is.

As the god of life was dying, she quickly severed the connection of her authority to her pathway. This was to ensure that no one would be able to take her place as the god of life by using a vessel or clone of the pathway of life.

After she died, she left behind a rainbow colored flame. This was the Fire of Life. It would burn anything that comes into contact with it.

With the defense of the Fire of Life and the lack of any godclad of the pathway of life to create a connection with the Fire of Life, it will be nearly impossible for anyone to steal her position as the god of the pathway of life.

But Legion wasn’t concerned about this because they had gained her memories, so they knew how to gain control of the Fire of Life. So Legion only glanced at it briefly before focusing on dealing with the god of death.

The foundation of the immortality of the god of death is his phylactery, and it is in the underworld. So, only by entering the underworld and destroying the phylactery can the god of death be killed permanently.

Legion has the opportunity to kill the god of death now, but they didn’t do this because some high gods are outside the underworld waiting for them. Instead of destroying the phylactery once and for all, what they did was to kill the god of death again and again.

If they kill the god of death and take away the authority of the pathway of death, the underworld here will collapse. This will grant the high gods outside the underworld the opportunity to interfere with their attempt to gain control of the fire of life.

They couldn’t allow anyone to interfere with the attempt to gain control of the Fire of Life because it would require their true body to take action. Since their true body will be in danger, they don’t want any disturbance or interruptions.

So they kept killing the god of death again and again in order to keep him too busy to deal with them. This way, their true body was able to descend into the underworld without any risk.

The Fire of Life can burn any person to death, but it is not actually burning their physical body. What it is burning and using as fuel is the vitality, life force, and lifespan of the target.

From the memories of the god of life, they know that the only way to gain control of the Fire of Life is through brute force, to be immune to its fire, and have an infinite lifespan. So the key to gaining control of the Fire of Life is possessing immortality.

Angels of the pathway of life have an exquisite method to gain control of the Fire of Life. But there are no angels of Life in existence, so they can’t enslave an angel of Life to help them gain control of the Fire of Life, the way they used an angel of illusion to help them gain control of the Mirror of the World.

So they can only use brute force. And as it happens, they have the means to become immune to the power of the Fire of Life and also possess an infinite lifespan.

They gained an infinite lifespan when they became rank 7 undying godclads. As for how to be immune to the fire of life, they can use the Aegis Shield divine ability or the Self Supremacy ultimate ability.

They decided to use the Self Supremacy ultimate ability because it is the superior method. Using the Aegis Shield will cause delays in the process of gaining control of the Fire of Life. Since what they don’t have right now is a lot of time, they decided to go with the superior method.

The way to gain control of the Fire of Life is to touch it and let it enter one’s existence. If they can withstand it without burning into ashes, they will be able to gain control of it.

If not, they can forget about gaining control of it. In fact, they can forget about continuing to live.
