GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

514 Small But Mighty Demon King.

Aeternus doesn't plan to kill the Celestial supreme on this trip to the divine plane. He has more modest objectives. A lot has changed since they last met, he is here to see if the changes that Legion has undergone will affect the Celestial Supreme in any way.

He is the only one that can do it since Helios is no more in the plane and the tree father's avatar can't move. He will just collect some data on the god of fate for Legion and be on his way.

He found the Celestial Supreme sitting above the divine city. The god of fate has numerous screens opened and showing various scenes of the mortal realm. He is content with sitting and watching the events of the plane without interfering whatsoever.

The god of fate asked him without turning to look at him. "I noticed that the officers of your army are returning to the abyss. It seems your job on this plane is done. Are you here to say goodbye?"

Aeternus had ordered his army to return to the abyss. Some mid-rank demons are still entering the plane but every high-rank demon and above has returned to the abyss. Aeternus plans to finish his work here before returning to the abyss. He needs Celestial Authorities to grow stronger and the Godhood of a Celestial to form his domain. Zargoth plane can't give him any of that. So he will leave and attack other planes.

Aeternus replied curtly. "I'm not here to say goodbye."

The god of fate waved his hand. The screens and his chair disappeared. He stood in his full glory before Aeternus and was looking down on him. It didn't help that he towered over Aeternus. Aeternus's height is a problem that just keeps rearing its ugly head.

The god of fate sighed. "I suspected as much."

He squatted but he is still taller than Aeternus. Their height isn't even close.

The god of fate pointed at him. "You have changed. Did you know that?"

"I do."

"That Helios boy became a real star. I didn't see that coming. I mean, I couldn't see your future before but I could predict it by the footprints you leave behind. But now, I can see your future and it is endless. Some of what I have seen are so ridiculous and unbelievable that I thought I was going mad. Can you imagine that?"

Aeternus shook his head. "I can't imagine it."

He used his POWER OF ENVY as he spoke. He couldn't use it the last time because he was here as an avatar. His mark of sin activated but it didn't get anything from the god of fate. He tried it again and again but there seems to be nothing to copy.

He can't copy anything even now with his main body no matter how much he tried. It is like he is looking into a mirage or a mirror. There's nothing to copy but there's obviously something there. Even his shard of power is not helping.

Meanwhile, his opponent is unaware of what he is doing. The god of fate considered his answer skeptically. He asked Aeternus, "I'm sure you can't imagine what I am going through. So have you undergone any change too? Is that why you want to challenge me again?"

Aeternus shrugged. "I just want to test myself against you. I wasn't here with my body last time. You ensured that by adding that extra Authority."

He refused to speak about the change. The two of them aren't friends. To call them enemies will be an understatement. There's no need to talk about important matters between them no matter how harmless it seems. This is doubly true especially when the person you are talking to is a confirmed manipulator.

The god of fate might have been lying about a lot of things and he won't know. There's no way for him to tell if the god of fate is lying so there's no way he can trust anything that comes out of this god's mouth. Even then, he wouldn't speak about important things with the god of fate even if they were friends. So he will not give the god of fate a worthy reply.

The god of fate smiled. Then he stood up and spread his arms wide open. He said to Aeternus. "Take your best shot O small but mighty demon king."

The golden flames in Aeternus's eye sockets blazed. He became angry at the taunt. If the god of fate wants to role him up then he has succeeded. He is very riled up right now. He can change is height but he doesn't want to. His power should make people respect him not his height. As for those that call him short, then he will help them shave off some of their height so that they can be of equal height.

'I hope this does something.' he thought to himself and Legion.

He had little expectations for this encounter before he came here but now he wants to make the god of fate lose the smug smile on his face.

'I don't even want to main him. A small scar on his face will be enough for me.'

His expectations are still low. He just wants something that will make the god of fate look less charming when he smiles. A small blemish in that otherwise perfect face is enough to pacify him for being called short.

His claymore appeared in his hand. He activated the SPEAR OF ENVY and swung his claymore with vigor. A giant blade of chaos flames flew towards the god of fate. Aeternus watched with anticipation to see the result. The SPEAR OF ENVY is supposed to make his attacks capable of hitting any type of entity be it physical, spiritual, magical, or a combination of them. So he has a lot of expectations for this sin ability that almost collapsed his mark of sin to create.
