GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1433 The Form Befitting Death.

?The power he stole from the mark of sin is good enough on its own. It may have made some useless changes to him, but it has also elevated his state of existence and made him more powerful.

At the very least, he doesn't need to fear demon gods anymore. Their caustic energy and virulent supreme law are not strong enough to corrode him anymore. If Chaos Energy can't do so to him, then they surely can't.

He chuckled to himself when he completed the examination of the changes his body had gone through.

"Demon gods are going to make fun of me again."

His form has been reduced to just 10 meters tall. He has also lost all his features. He doesn't have arms or legs anymore. One might mistake him for a ghostly apparition. They would be right, because seeing him is the same as seeing death.

He is very similar to Legion-Unity in appearance in that he doesn't have any eyes, ears, or lips. The only difference between them is that he has two glowing golden bull horns on his head, and his constantly shifting energy form is black like a shadow.

The saving grace of his appearance is that he does look like a powerful demon god. Anyone can tell that he is very powerful because his mere existence is plunging his surroundings into darkness.

A sort of inky darkness is spreading outward from him. It is the shadow of his existence. He may be small, but his shadow is large enough to plunge a plane into darkness. It is a darkness that will remain for a long time, even in his absence. So no one will make fun of his height, not even demon gods.

Only the light of the white crown he has on his head and his golden horns can be seen in the darkness. The rest of his existence, on the other hand, only wants to banish light. With this sort of appearance, no demon king in their right mind will make fun of his height.

He said to himself in anticipation, "I wonder which demon god will become my new throne for disrespecting me."

He thought about it and changed his mind. "No. I think I will just eat them. A throne is too wasteful."

He nodded at that thought. "No demon god should be wasted like that."

Unlike demon kings, who would give him a single crown for a slight boost in power, demon gods are oceans' worth of energy and power. It would be a waste to use one as a throne when he can just eat them.

Eating demon gods will require strength. So the next thing he considered was how to get stronger.

"I wonder if I can become a world-ender if I fuse with Chaos energy."

His question was also directed to the other clones, so Soverick replied, "I can't help you in that aspect. I can't see anything about your existence anymore, so you are on your own."

Aeternus shrugged and said, "I think it will work."

His form is a vessel, and within it is something like the godhood of gods. It is the mark of sin. It is mostly spherical, but that's because his existence confines it. It is a ball of information and power. It is a four-dimensional object made of matter, energy, and Will. It used to contain the Will of the abyss, but not anymore. It is empty of Will now and waiting for him to substitute his Will into it.

Around the mark of sin is Chaos energy. It is gushing out of the mark without limit. His store of energy is infinite, like a Celestial, so he is storing the energy without any issue.

His form is not increasing in size despite the large amount of energy, though. He is not a demon god. He hasn't fused with the energy yet, so the amount of energy he possesses doesn't affect his size. Hence, he is wondering what will happen if he tries to fuse with it now.

Unfortunately, the affinity with True Chaos is preventing Soverick from being helpful to him. That means he can't predict what will happen and make the best decisions to maximize his chance of success.

So he decided to try breaking through now.

He said to the other clones, "It should work. And if it doesn't work, there shouldn't be any harm. At the very least, it will allow me to know just how difficult it will be."

No one made any rejections, so he decided to go through with it. He hasn't met the requirements to fuse with his mark of sin yet, so he doesn't have much hope for it to succeed. He just wants to give it a try.

Aeternus slowly made his consciousness enter the mark of sin. He found himself in the energy sea when he did.

"This is strange." He observed quietly.

All around him is a purple energy that he knows to be the energy sea of the abyss. He couldn't fathom why he was here when he was trying to fuse with his energy.

It made him ask himself a question he has always been wondering about. "Where does Chaos energy even come from?"

Chaos energy had always appeared to come from his mark of sin, but he couldn't see anything resembling Chaos energy around him. He had never heard of anyone encountering it in the abyss, either.

"If it were common, then the demon gods wouldn't have been surprised by my existence. Could it be that the mark of sin converts the normal sin energy into Chaos energy through the Supreme Law of Chaos? That would certainly explain what is going on here. But where does sin energy come from? Do I still need the Supreme Law of Chaos, or must I fuse with the whole energy sea of the abyss?"

He was contemplating his situation when he suddenly felt his mind fall. Something was pulling his consciousness deeper and deeper into the energy sea.
