Well today, someone has found a way around the conflict of soul stones. A lot of things have been stolen and this person known for his madness has decided to up the ante. Maybe no one will ever be able to replicate what he is going to do. At least, that's what the realm lord is thinking.
The realm lord grinned slyly as he thought to himself. "I have found a way around it. A lot of things have been stolen before but never this. This will go down in history. It will be probably impossible to replicate."
A high elf with green skin, blond hair, and golden eyes can be seen skulking around a continent in the upper realm. Actually, he is hiding pretty well. So no one can see him skulking around unless they are a world god. He is going to steal something that has never been stolen before.
He examined a large continent in the upper realm. It is a large circular landmass floating in void energy. There is a bubble around it that resists void energy and its corrosive properties. There are tall buildings on this continent. The buildings are occupied by thousands of Origin gods. This continent is not deserter in any way not that it is possible to find a deserted continent in the upper realm.
This continent is the property of a particularly powerful Origin god. This Origin god is well known. He is very rich. Most importantly, he is also a realm lord. He formed a group with his wealth and claimed the floating continent for himself. He is very territorial and has won several wars to oust him.
"It is just perfect. 5 billion square kilometers. Symmetrical and circular. It will do nicely." The high elf commented as he assessed the continent.
The Origin god that has laid claim to this continent doesn't scare the monarch of high heaven. His track record and his success in defending the continent will not protect this Origin god from the hands of the monarch of high heaven either.
The realm lord looked with satisfaction at the immortal continent. He is assessing it for its suitability in the stunt he is about to pull. Now he can go ahead after finding it to his liking. There's someone who doesn't think he should do it though.
Mother high heaven asked. "Must you pick this one? It belongs to a realm lord. There are other suitable continents."
Her shadowy figure is standing beside him. She can't be seen because she technically isn't here. She also can't interact with the world. She is like a holographic image that only he can see. In this case, she is the conscience that the monarch of high heaven doesn't have. She is the angel and the voice of rationality.
He nodded with certainty. "That's good. I know that there are other ones but I chose this one first because it belongs to a realm lord."
The monarch of high heaven doesn't need a devil or demon to whisper evil ideas to him. He is more than capable of coming up with them on his own. He didn't choose this continent because of its physical features.
Mother high heaven glared at him. "So you chose this one because of the conflict. That isn't good for the realm seeing as he is the same as you."
The realm lord scoffed. "That's an insult. We might both be realm lords but I am not the same as him. You shouldn't worry. If you're right about him being my equal then I shouldn't succeed. I will just apologize when I fail. Happy now?"
"Fine."
Things are in fact, not fine. She doesn't think an apology, no matter how heartfelt will make the Origin god forgive them for trying to steal his continent. But that's the only thing she can say. He is going to do what he wants anyway. There might be rules and laws that bind him in the realm of high heaven but he is free to do whatever he wants in the upper realm, including pissing off another realm lord.
"Some people will steal continents to avoid the conflict that will ensue but you're trying to steal a continent to create conflict." Mother high heaven grumbled.
She can't do anything but that doesn't stop her from voicing her opinions like the dutiful conscience she is. Her opinion is actually valid. It is not biased because she doesn't want the realm lord to create more enemies for the realm. It is true that those that can steal continents will do it so that they can avoid fighting over it and defending it.
The realm lord eyed her from the corner of his eyes. He also grumbled, "I am jealous of other realm lords whose realm supports them wholeheartedly and completely. I wonder how it feels."
She rolled her eyes at his antics. "I'm not supporting you because you're a nut job. One of us has to be reasonable. We are doomed if we're both crazy like you."
The realm lord boasted without shame. "It's because you're reasonable that you can't break limits. You have to be unreasonable or super-reasonable for you to be extraordinary like me. I am an unappreciated and unprecedented pacesetter."
Mother high heaven rolled her eyes again. "Just do your thing."
His behavior is understandable. Some people are extraordinary. They are better than normal or ordinary people. Some are geniuses. They are a step above extraordinary people. To become a realm lord, you have to be an epic genius and you have to be lucky. The monarch of high heaven is an extraordinary epic genius. He transcends genius of epic proportions. That is the cause of his supreme confidence.
His madness on the other hand is the source of his extraordinary epic genius. So his confidence is a result of his madness. The two go hand in hand. You can't expect the monarch of high heaven to be humble if you don't cure him of his madness.
