GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Legion-7 said excitedly, "I have found it."

The soul sphere didn't escape his grasp by becoming intangible. Legion-7 was able to wrap his tentacles around Legion-5's soul sphere because he is a spiritual entity too. Then his tentacles entered the soul sphere.

"Nice," Legion-5 exclaimed.

He and all the clones felt Legion-7's invasion into their mind network. It filled them with anticipation, not fear. They haven't been able to interact with the soul sphere since they got it more than 3 Origin cycles ago. Even Legion-1 who is in the possession of their Origin couldn't do it. They have resigned themselves to its passive functions until now. So every clone is looking forward to what this will achieve.

Legion-7 said, "Don't rejoice yet. Let's see what else I can do."

His tentacles went through the soul sphere and into the main one present in Legion-1.

"It seems I was right. I can move easily between the two inner worlds. There is no resistance."

Then his entire body followed the soul channel and appeared within Legion-1's inner world. His tentacles spread from Legion-1's soul sphere to the other clones. He planted a part of his tentacle into their existence.

"I can even use the mind network to enter the other soul spheres which means I should be able to perform the first stage of unity." He said with confidence. "Who wants to go first?"

Legion-1 volunteered. "I will be one. I can resurrect if something goes wrong. The others are too important to risk or can't even be united yet."

Soverick agreed. "That's true. I will go second."

"Alright then."

Legion-1 opened himself up to Legion-7. Legion-7's tentacles drilled into his Origin soul and absorbed it. At this point, his Origin soul and Origin body haven't completed the fusion due to the need for a second concept so Legion-7 could only assimilate Legion-1's soul.

A large burble containing a black-purpish scaled and reptilian humanoid beast appeared with the jellyfish. It formed a face on the gemlike head of Legion-7.

The inner world of the world beast rubbled but didn't collapse. The presence of the tree father and reinforcement of the Authority of the Celestial Supreme held up the inner world in the absence of Legion-1's Origin soul. It provided enough time for Legion-7 to re-create Legion-1's soul.

One of Legion-7's tentacles began to expand as he siphoned divine life energy, Origin energy, and Origin essence from the tree father. This white swollen tentacle then detached and morphed into Legion-1's soul.

This world beast looks the same as the one that Legion-7 absorbed but they are not the same. The bubble with the black-

purpish scaled and reptilian humanoid beast is still present within Legion-7. This thing that looks like Legion-1 is in essence a portion of Legion-7. It is just a part of Legion-7 with the same physical and spiritual characteristics as Legion-1. It is Legion-1 v1.

"That was a success," Legion-1 said as he examined his body. "I feel just the same. It is as if I closed my eyes to sleep and woke up."

He is Legion-1 v1 because he is a tentacle of Legion-7. But he is also Legion-1 because Legion-1 is now a part of Legion-7. So Legion-7's tentacle is Legion-1's soul or to be more accurate Legion-1 v1 because there can be later versions of this tentacle if it is destroyed. This is a resurrection system independent of the void universe.

All the clones who had been holding their breath finally relaxed.

Soverick spoke first. "That's good. Save me next."

"What's the rush?" Legion-7 asked.

"I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen to me soon. I have felt the gaze of powerful entities which can only be world gods on me and something weird is going on in the plane. Someone is spreading the method to take my title from me. I noticed it when I killed a bunch of troublesome people. I am sure it is related to the sages since they are the ones most familiar with the title of the child of the plane because I don't know who else knows how to take my title from me."

Legion-7 agreed. "Better safe than sorry then."

The tree father suggested, "I think we should plan for the eventuality of losing the title. We aren't going to have it forever. We need something powerful to help us stand out from the other origin gods."

Soverick thought about it and said, "I currently don't have any ideas. The best bet is the shards of power but we can't use them without a Supreme law and a law matrix. There is no way to get a Supreme law without reaching the peak as Origin gods."

Legion-1 added his opinion. "Let's just focus on unity for now. This is just the first stage. It wasn't planned for but it turned out right. It shows that my plan for unity has a higher chance of success. If unity works, then when all of you reach the Origin stage Legion won't be normal Origin gods. We will stand out then without the shards of power."

Soverick had to agree. "If unity at the Origin level works, and I believe that it will work, then we should be able to have multiple worlds as world gods."

Helios joined in. "There's also me and Aeternus. If we master the two Supreme laws, it will grant us a lot of power."

"We are on the right path. There's no need to trouble ourselves with the unreliable shards of power."

Legion-7 assimilated the clones as they chatted. He couldn't assimilate all of them though. Aeternus is too dangerous to work with. They won't be able to insure him until they master the Supreme law of Chaos.

Helios can't be detached from the law matrix or they will lose access to cosmic energy. Ragnarok is being watched and surrounded by the demon god of Carnage. CARNAGE likes to hunt and kill spiritual entities and Legion doesn't want to risk their independent resurrection system for one clone so Ragnarok will remain on his own for now.
