Chapter 1196 The Culture Of Thievery.
?He might not have been taught respect but he has been taught the meaning of hierarchy and that Origin gods are stronger than the Sovereigns of law who were his caretakers who forced him to participate in the blood crucible. The Caretakers were his whole world for a while so he showed respect to this being higher on the hierarchy.
The origin god replied, "You can call me Tanc830,428,723C. I am also known as Volcanic Fist but you can simply call me Mentor. Volcanic Fist is my title. I am known as Monarch Volcanic Fist apart from my identification number."
"I think I will call you, Tanc830,428,723C." He said to his mentor.
"Very well then," Tanc830,428,723C said. "Now let\'s get to business. I am sending over all of the information that we have on you and the information about the different paths of power of Supreme Beasts to you right now. It will inform you about the observations of the Supreme Alliance on you and inform you about the world at large. Take your time to digest it while I introduce you to the path that we take to acquire power."
He received a data file immediately. It was transmitted into his mind directly so he could read it while listening to his mentor.
His mentor said to him, "Supreme beasts are thieves. That\'s the foundation of our power and divine ability. It is also what we are good at. We steal what we want and kill whoever stands in our way of acquiring anything we have our eyes on."
"This has been our way of life right from the days of the ancient Shapiro. Our ability to shapeshift helps us to blend in and hide. It made us the perfect assassins and thieves. We killed and stole as we pleased. And most importantly, we got away with it."
"This continued until the era of transcendents in our home plane. On a side note, our home plane has been destroyed by the dragons so one of the major quests of the Supreme Alliance is to destroy their home plane and the dragon spirit."
That took Legion-5 by surprise. He didn\'t expect such a powerful race to have suffered such a loss. He knew that they had a lot of planes under their control so he didn\'t expect that they didn\'t have their home plane. But then he thought about it and understood that dragons are one of the very few that can make the Supreme Alliance homeless.
He said to his mentor, "I assume we have destroyed the dragon\'s home plane in return."
He knows as a fact that this is not so. The dragon home plane is still in the realm and his clone is on it. But he didn\'t ask why it hadn\'t been destroyed because a young Supreme beast shouldn\'t know that.
His mentor snorted as he replied. "It is one of the fervent wishes of Supreme Beasts to destroy the home plane of the dragons but we haven\'t been able to find it. The Supreme Alliance will reward you handsomely if you manage to find it. You will be able to build a world with the reward they will give you."
"Now, let\'s return to the main issue at hand. Where was I?"
Tanc830,428,723C looked at him intently as he asked that question so Legion-5 knew it was not rhetorical. He replied, "You were saying something something about our culture of stealing continuing until the era of conquest."
"That\'s good. It appears you were listening. I don\'t know if you read our history or not but you have to pay attention as this is important."
Legion-5 nodded so his mentor continued. "As I said our way of life didn\'t experience much change till the era of transcendents. Because we had difficulty becoming transcendents, we were the very last in our home plane to become transcendents. This led to the great boom of the second awakening of our divine ability."
"The ancient Shapiro encountered their first problem after they acquired their great boon. They awakened their divine ability a second time so they became able to not only steal people\'s identity, they became able to steal divine ability too"
"This boom came at a price. They became able to impersonate people at a deeper level since they could copy soul fluctuations and divine abilities but they couldn\'t get away with it. They became stuck and unable to progress further once they stole someone\'s divine ability."
"That problem was solved using the blood crucible and it created you. By stealing the divine ability of another Supreme beast, we unlocked more of our potential and made it so that a single divine ability couldn\'t stop us from growing."
"The ability to have more than one divine ability solved the problem of stagnation. But there was always another solution. I will mention that solution later. For now, we will focus on what can make you become an Origin god with at least 90% certainty."
Legion-5 listened raptly. He knows about the blood crucible and its purpose but he doesn\'t know about the unique method of becoming Origin gods that the Supreme Beast uses. He thought there was only one path to true immortality. So he asked, "Isn\'t the path of perfection the only way to become Origin gods? Is there a better way?"
His mentor replied. "You are right. The path of perfection is the only way to become Origin gods. But as Supreme Beasts, we do not need to go through the same methods that others use to acquire power. We are Supreme. Our existence is meant to raise livestock and then feed on them."
"We let others take the path of perfection and then we steal the fruit of their labor. The path of Supremacy is the path unique to Supreme beasts in which we take the power of others on the path of perfection for ourselves. That means you can become a Sovereign of law right now with 100% certainty if you want to and with just a little effort on your part."
