STATUS: Healthy

He is a fresh mana entity that's why his stats are just a little over 500 and why the mana conversion percentage of his body is very low. His divine ability makes it so that it won't take long to increase his stats to the maximum of 1000 that most mana entities reach. He also doesn't have a limit so he will reach beyond it.

"It seems Supreme beasts also have a high mana affinity. It is not like the 100% of high elves but it is still high. I don't have access to natural mana. That may be because supreme beasts don't have it or because I tampered with my divine ability and became a mutant."

One thing he noticed apart from the awakening of his divine ability is the fact that he has an unusually high mana affinity. It is higher than most of the other clones at this stage. But it is not as high as high elves.

He suspects that the law of devouring might have suppressed the potential of the law of life which caused the lack of access to natural mana in exchange for breaking his limits.

Then again, it might be because he still has Soverick's title of child of the plane and the infinite supply of energy that comes with it. He and Legion-8 are the only ones who possess this while they are still gestating. It could affect their growth process in ways they didn't know it could.

It is just like how they were unaware that Origin energy from the title and soul force could be used to change the divine ability of fetuses. So maybe the title stopped him from getting the natural mana that elves usually possess.

He shrugged at that. "I don't regret tampering with my divine ability. The limitless potential is more than enough to exchange for natural mana."

Legion-8 took the opportunity to brag again. "Your mana affinity can't compare to mine though. I have 100%. It is not even special. Every dragon has 100% mana affinity."

Legion-5 shot back. "We will see who is better between us when I am done developing my divine ability."

Dragons are not superior to Supreme Beasts. Legion-8 might be a superior dragon but Legion-5 intends to become a superior Supreme Beast to match him.

Legion-8 wasn't deterred. He took up the challenge, "We shall see."

Legion-5 made up his mind then and there to make sure to take a dragon's divine ability. But then he calmed down and checked his divine ability again. He found something wrong with it.

He told the others, "I have a problem. I might have messed up with my divine ability too much. I can devour living things to grow stronger now which I don't think other Supreme beasts have. But I can only use one divine ability. My capacity seems to be stunted."

The other Legions were surprised. But they accepted it. Soverick said, "We all knew it was possible when you were tampering with it. It is a consequence of our greed. And it isn't exactly bad. You have Ragnarok's basic ability as a backup. That will do."

The others were of the same mind. If they were on their own, then they might not have made the decision to tamper with their divine ability but they are not on their own. They can afford to take risks. Such risky attempts don't always end well. They knew it could happen so they are not surprised that it happened. They have been lucky other times too. It is about time they become unlucky.

Aeternus was the most considerate. He placated Legion-5 by saying, "Don't worry about it. We can always kill you if you turn out useless."

Legion-8 snickered though. "I have won already. You won't be able to compare to me even if you manage to get a dragon's heart. You don't even compare with Ragnarok."

Legion-5 ignored Legion-8 and the other clones. What Legion-8 said is the truth though. He only managed to copy Ragnarok's basic ability. He didn't get his potential for devouring at all. He can't project the devouring force out of his body. He doesn't even have one tail.

He also didn't get Ragnarok's ability to boost himself what death essence so he doesn't have a POWER stat. Even if he manages to get a dragon's heart, he won't compare to the current Ragnarok who is eating the hearts of Carnage to strengthen himself.

It seems devouring didn't only stunt access to natural energy, it also removed his ability to acquire many divine abilities. And all he has for it is his ability to eat and raise his stats to the limit of his soul.

He remembered what Aeternus said so he relaxed. "Death is always an option and it is a better option than being useless."

He decided to end things and give his slot to another clone if he became useless. Legion doesn't want anyone that won't add to their goal of perfection.

The main reason why he was reincarnated into a Supreme beast is for their multiple divine abilities. Legion already has Ragnarok for devouring and POWER. So if he can't achieve what he was reincarnated for then he will be killed.

"Besides, Ragnarok might not survive so I might become useful again. After all, I tampered with the law of Devour because he might die."
