GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

They thought that Reinfield City was too dangerous to covet, so they began to entertain the idea of leaving it alone and choosing another target.

Not all the clones agreed to do this, though. Their main reason for disagreeing was that they knew Reinfield very well and didn't want to go to another city and start investigating all over again.

At the very least, the clones that disagreed with this proposal wanted to see if there was anything they could do to make the uncertain situation become certain first before they gave up.

The idea they came up with was to do something that would force the appearance of the demigod if she really is in Reinfield City at this time. But they also didn't want her to appear and target them, so they didn't know how to move ahead with this plan.

While they were arguing about this, the assassin that they sent to meet Sir Kris finally met up with him. She was able to sneak into his bedroom without being caught and had a chat with him.

It turned out that Sir Kris was an easygoing person and was fun to chat with. He was injured, but he was still able to chat amicably with the assassin, so the slave of them had a fulfilling meeting with him.

The meeting was so fulfilling that Sir Kris shared some secret information about Reinfield City with them.

One of the secrets that he shared with them was that the rank 8 demigod was indeed alive and was truly in Reinfield City, but she was teetering on the edge of madness, so she rarely moved.

Apparently, the source of her problem is something that every demigod has. After they become demigods, they can project their divine form with their spiritual energy instead of liberating their bodies completely into the form of their divine beasts.

This projection of their divine form is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The biggest advantage is that demigods have a lesser risk of losing control if they project their divine forms instead of liberating.

The projection can also be used together with the divine form liberation. So it can serve as another source of power for demigods.

The first disadvantage is that the projection is weaker than their divine beast form. But the biggest disadvantage is that the divine flesh can take over the projection and try to use it to seize control of the body.

The chances of the divine flesh taking control of the projection are very low. But once it happens, the projection will begin to fight the main body for control.

The irony of this situation is that this process of fighting with the projection is a necessary step to advance to rank 9. Only after the projection has been defeated or convinced that the main body is the original source of the divine flesh will a demigod be able to become an angel.

So according to what Sir Kris said, the rank 8 demigod is currently locked deep within the city wrestling for control of her existence with the projection.

But while this looks bad, she is actually in the process of advancing to the next rank. If she wins the fight, she will become an angel. But if she loses, she will lose control and become mad.

The more Legion heard of this, the more they couldn't help but say, "The Lord of Madness surely has a thing for madness. I am willing to bet that he engineered the power system of godclads so that he can take advantage of their madness to benefit himself somehow."

They only considered the motive of the Lord of Madness for creating a power system where losing control is a risk of power for a short time. What they dwelled on is the fact that the demigod won't be able to help Reinfield City any time soon.

This information gave them the confidence to continue with their plans for Reinfield City. They began to eagerly put the steps of their plan into action.

The assassin left Sir Kris after the discussion. She left to pick up a certain high-rank divine artifact in possession of one of the noble families.

The divine artifact is the one that possesses the rank 7 Mind Domination divine ability. The person in charge of the artifact was also severely injured and couldn't keep the artifact.

Sir Kris was the one who told them about the divine artifact and its current situation. Thanks to the information that he gave them, the assassin was able to easily find and take the divine artifact.

After the slave left him, Sir Kris decided not to rest and let time heal him. He decided to go the expensive route of healing himself by using the precious water of life that was in possession of his family.

As the head of the family and the strongest one apart from the legends, no one could stop him from using the water of life. Especially since the situation in Reinfield City was so tense.

Sir Kris's reason for using the water of life to heal himself was that he wanted to make himself available to work for Reinfield City in these trying times. This reason made everyone praise Sir Kris for being loyal to the city.

He had used his property to heal himself, but he was being praised for his willingness to sacrifice for the city because Sir Kris is a well-known miser. He usually wouldn't spend money on something he didn't need to spend money on.

What everyone expected him to do was rest and slowly heal with time. Apparently, they were wrong to think that he would do that.

Apparently, Sir Kris recognized that the city was in dire need of help and that he needed to be available to help. To top things of, he decided to be available for the city in its time of need. This move earned him a lot of praise from the legends.
