GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Things might be going well in the other planes but the avatars are new celestials that just sprung up from nowhere. That is considered very odd. Everyone is guarded against the avatars in other planes and they are having a tough time blending in. The avatars had to work alone to survive and flourish but they can't match the kind of success that they had in the Zargoth plane.

Even if the tree father was accepted and worshipped openly without prejudice, there is the problem of the inability to move. It renders the tree father unable to harm the gods of the plane who are in the divine plane.

The tree father received great help in the Zargoth which is why it was able to have such success. Nothing beats the assistance of entities that will do their best to help you for a greater goal. Together, they can achieve greater things than working alone. It is the reason for the existence of Legion and it will continue to blossom as they mature.

The elf said eagerly. "The Authority of the Celestial Supreme should solve our mana problem. Soverick said it could."

The acquisition of the Authority of the Celestial Supreme means quite a lot for Legion. With it, they might be able to overcome the problem of mana production that is stopping them from gaining independent infinite energy production.

They need certain raw materials to create the type of energy that they want. Legion-1 uses void energy to produce Origin essence. His speed of producing Origin essence has experienced a drastic increase with the addition of the shard of power. Legion-1 believes he can refine 10 in one Origin cycle now instead of the previous 3.

That is a lot, but it is not nearly enough and will not be able to meet all their needs for infinite Origin energy. There is a solution to that though. Legion-1 just needs time to grow stronger. His rate of production is certain to increase in the future. The tree father can create Origin energy from the Origin essence that Legion-1 produces by diluting it with mana. The problem that they can't solve is mana production.

The inner world of Legion-1 can only produce Origin essence, not mana. They have been using Soverick's supply of mana to meet their needs but it is not a permanent solution. Soverick will surely lose the title of the child of the plane in the future. He can't remain the child of the Virut plane forever so they are trying to become independent of it before it happens. Legion wants to be able to have infinite energy on its own without external aid which means they have to find a way to make mana.

Legion-1 is less optimistic. He said as it weaved together laws into runes on the faces of the star core. "I am not so optimistic. I believe that the Authority of the Celestial Supreme might be helpful in solving the problem of mana. I don't think it will solve it. There is still a lot missing. There is a lot we don't know about mana and its creation."

They believe that the Authority of the Celestial Supreme will solve the problem of mana or at least bring them closer to solving it. Soverick was able to conduct a preliminary analysis of it when he saw the dungeon core within the divine dungeon. The Authority of the Celestial Supreme is the anchor of the divine plane. It is what makes divine power and energy exist in a plane.

It should solve their problem because divine energy is a fusion of faith and mana. That mana has to be coming from somewhere. Soverick is uncertain about what exactly the core does and how it does it. There is still a lot missing that they don't know about it. That's why they are uncertain about its usefulness to them. Legion-9 is clearly optimistic about it but Legion-1 is saying that they shouldn't get their hopes up.

The elf replied, "Either way, we'll see soon. The Authority of the Celestial Supreme is on its way."

They didn't have to wait for long. Aeternus dropped the Authority off and the avatar absorbed it. The Authority appeared within the green elf who began to glow. Legion-9 began to glow a bright green light. The glow intensified as the fusion continued. Legion-1 continued working on the star while the change went on. The glow ended after a few minutes.

Legion-1 spoke first. "You were right. There's no need to be smug about it."

He can feel mana being produced from the green elf to know that it was a success. So he conceded defeat before it is thrust upon him. He may be proud but he can be honest with himself.

The green elf smirked but remained silent. It didn't need to speak for it to make its thoughts known. So it doesn't matter if he talked or not, his smugness is obvious to every clone just like Legion-1's feigned indifference. He moved on to more important matters.

"Now we can use the cosmic energy that Helios has access to." Legion-9 said.

Legion-1 shrugged. "It will only strengthen the inner world. That won't make us stronger directly. Its effect is too low for something so powerful."

"You're always so negative." Legion-9 shook his head and said.

Legion-1 was quick to refute that claim. He said, "I am not negative. I am just being realistic. We shouldn't jump for joy yet when we don't know how to use cosmic energy. One of us has to be realistic."

Legion is right but his pessimism doesn't hurt the happiness that all of Legion is feeling right now. The tree father has changed drastically with the absorption of the Celestial Supreme Authority. He became capable of creating mana and more than that, he became capable of producing Origin essence too.

The entire inner world is his domain so the tree father has access to void energy too. So he can transform that void energy into Origin essence and mana by using the core of the divine plane and he can do it much faster than Legion-1 can.
