GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1916: Permanent Partial Third Stage Of Unity.



Each clone underwent the changes that the partial third stage of unity should have caused in Legion-5. All of them began to grow physically and power-wise. They grew so heavy that the law matrix couldn't contain them anymore.

All of them gained this power, not just Legion-5. And it was permanent too. As long as their works fragment can handle their power, they can maintain the state indefinitely.

They also grew nine heads and 18 arms each. Their white bodies enlarged, and they grew 9 long necks while 9 pairs of arms grew from their sides. So they looked like a large white 9- headed hydra with a white halo on each head.

Each of the clones became like this. Only Legion-7 didn't have a body, but the other 8 all had 9 heads. Now they don't need to see through each other's eyes or access each other's memories to experience what the others are experiencing.

Each clone has eyes, heads, and arms for the other clones. But these changes weren't permanent. The extra heads and arms shrank and disappeared into their bodies. But the eyes remained.

There was only one head for each clone, but each head had nine eyes. So they looked almost the same as they were before they fused with the incomplete artifact. They just have more eyes.

These extra eyes belong to the other clones. The other clones use them to see. As for the extra arms, they can still grow back and be used in a fight. But the extra heads are not needed anymore.

That's where the changes ended. That's only because the roots of the Universal Artifact couldn't penetrate the pillars they use to connect to God's Domain.

Legion felt the changes to their bodies and the power and marveled. Legion-7 said, "The realm lord lied to us. The Universal Artifact is capable of more than he made it out to be."

Legion-1 corrected, "Technically he didn't lie. He just omitted information. But it is good that he is dead now for his sins."

Legion-2 said, "This universal artifact is truly special. Its power is dependent on who uses it. It was wasted in the Tyrants and Green Vine. It needed great beings to bring out its greatness. We are already this powerful, and we haven't even become world gods yet."

Legion-9 added, "There's also the fact that it is still incomplete. It needs a supreme law."

Legion-7 shook his head and said, "It is a good thing that it was incomplete when we found it, or we would never have been able to take it. We just have to make sure it can never be taken from us by completing it."

Legion-3 sighed in relief and said, "Everything is all good now. We don't have to fear our tenth clones chasing us. We can escape to the spiritual dimension again, or we can kill them."

Legion-8 said to all of them, "Green Vine was onto something. So was the Great Mother. Power can be found in the unification of the masses. The two of them cheated death and achieved what shouldn't be possible by amassing the power of many."

Legion-1 agreed, "This is what it means to be Legion. We are not enough to be Legion. But we won't stop here. We will turn all of reality into us until everything is a part of us."

All of them said, "We will be one, and we will be many."

They have become an amalgam just like the black ball of flesh that the Tyrants became and the entity Green Vine became. But they are special. They are not ugly like the Tyrants became, and they are more powerful than Green Vine.

Apart from the power they have, there is also the fact that each of their 8 bodies cannot die unless all of them are killed at the same time. This means each clone can resurrect instantly without the help of the void universe.

They are like Gemini twins in that none of them can die completely unless they are all killed together. This condition has been achieved before, by the first sage. The first sage managed to push them all to their deaths at the same time. But they don't think that can happen again.

Currently, if anything tries to infiltrate them, their existence will gladly welcome it and subsume it. If they fail to subsume it like in the case of a world God's Supreme Law, then they will resist it.

Either way, a fight will break out, so they cannot fall under the influence of another person unawares like what happened last time with the first sage.

There will always be a fight if someone infiltrates them, and thanks to the roots, they will always be able to defend every part of their existence, including their memories and mind, with everything they have at their disposal, including Chaos energy.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

So every infiltration will be like when Draco tried to overwrite their existence externally using his blood. Anything that tries to infiltrate them will also be externally and it will be obvious to them.

They will not go down without a fight because of it. What's more, they can confirm beyond all reasonable doubt that none of them is a traitor because all of them have become one.

It is not that none of them were traitors or impersonators before this fusion. That doesn't matter anymore because if one of them was a traitor, then all of them are traitors now.

If someone or something had infiltrated Legion before the universal artifact fused all of their existence, then they have either become that entity or that entity has become them. So there can't be traitors among them anymore.

They don't know if these new abilities are because of their possession of the Soul Sphere and Crown of Domination, or their special state of being 9 entities as one with possession of all three paths of power.

It could also be all of that. After all, the incomplete universal artifact only brings about what they are already capable of. It only magnifies it.
