Someone once said, "Wisdom is the principal thing, in all your getting, get wisdom and understanding."
You can't get wisdom if you don't have understanding. And you can't get understanding if you don't have information. Soverick lacked information and he was toyed with. The serpentine world god lacked information and was toyed with. He is still being toyed with. Ghastorix became a world god. But he is still the bull-headed fighter who prefers to fight than to think.
He is still the soldier he was as a mana entity who obeyed orders until his dying breath. The fact that he has become a world god has not made him a commander or a general. It has not made him a player. He is still a pawn.
Power is important. But information, knowledge, wisdom, and cunning are more important. Those who lack them will have a weakness that will make them pawns. Without wisdom, Legion cannot be perfect. Soverick has learned that much. So he has taken it upon himself to rectify that weakness.
The solution to that weakness is to become omniscient. It might not be possible to achieve in the void universe or it might not be possible to achieve at all. But Soverick will try. His goal is to first achieve the perfect eye. Then he will see how things go from there.
THE END OF VOLUME 4.
INTERLUDE.
The era of conquest is coming. The realm lord can announce its start anytime soon. It will have severe ramifications for the realm of high heaven and everyone that wants to take part in it is already preparing. Origin gods are preparing for it and world gods are investing resources into it. A certain space dragon is preparing for it too.
A massive mountain of a beast is sleeping in the void outside of the realm of high heaven. It is the divine dragon of the world god rank. This dragon is sleeping on a bed of solidified space. The world itself is the comfortable bedding for it to sleep on. There is no other material that can withstand the weight of a creature that is tens of thousands of kilometers long. Even a plane will collapse.
Weaker creatures will use their solidified divine sense to pull on the law matrix of the world to move in this environment but space freezes and liquifies according to the whims of this beast. It doesn't pull on the world to move, it makes the world push it to move and the world listens because of the supreme law that this dragon wields.
A smaller dragon is sneaking up on the world god. It is a dragon that is just 1 kilometer across so it is a very small dragon. It has four wings on its back. Each one of them is thin and translucent. The scales of the dragon are white crystals that bend light and space to obscure the dragon. It is very difficult to sneak up on a world god but this dragon is doing it his best try.
The small crystal dragon made sure not to make any fluctuations, be it physical, spiritual, or energetic so that it won't wake up the big dragon. It had to limit its speed of approach to a crawl but it is worth it if it can catch the big dragon off guard. It crept forward slowly as it approached the big dragon. This process took years of patience and dedication.
The little dragon chuckled and thought to itself. "I've got you now old man. It's time to show you how bad it is to wake someone with a shout."
It finally got close to the head of the big dragon but it didn't get too close. It doesn't want to startle its target. Any wrong movement from the bug dragon could kill him. Just the closed eye of the big dragon is bigger than the little dragon's entire body including the length of its wings.
The little dragon raised itself up and opened its mouth to give a great shout. It was startled when the eyes of the big dragon opened suddenly. Two great red suns with blue lightning running across their surface suddenly appeared in the void. They cast their gaze on the little dragon trying to be sneaky.
The big dragon slammed the little dragon with a roar. "Rarwwww"
Space rumbled and tumbled. It was bent out of shape and warped by the roar. Then it was fractured and scattered. The little dragon was blown away and dragged into a vortex of space turbulence. A whirlpool of distorted space pulled on the little dragon. Blades of fractured space swept around it. The dangerous fractures in space can fracture the little dragon too. It had to struggle not to die. It needed its best flying skills and the manipulation of space to come out of the whirlpool alive.
The small crystal dragon slumped on top of one of the big dragon's claws after it came out of the vortex. It is obviously tired after straining itself to survive the disastrous effect of the prank of a world god. The shadow of death shrouded it for a while there.
"I got you," Tssandulighafan said while laughing.
Even his laughter is still causing the very environment to quake dangerously. The sound waves that he is making are putting too much pressure on space. Origin gods that pass through this environment will experience the equivalent of slipping on a stone and breaking their necks. The dangerous space will bend their bodies out of shape and fracture them. That is not enough to kill them but they will be very sorry that they were there to hear a world god laugh without restraint.
Dylganihl complained. "Not fair."
His father roared in laughter even more. "You thought you could sneak up on me. That is so silly. So silly."
"When did you find out?" Dylganihl asked in indignance.
Tssandulighafan answered smugly, "Right from the start."
"You cheating old man. You could have stopped me when I started. I wasted 31 years creeping up on you for nothing."
