GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The law matrix became agitated immediately. The law fragments around him began to change into a single deadly concept as a powerful Will appeared.

A single intent was transmitted to him. "You are not welcome here."

It was as if he was surrounded by enemies more terrifying than the great mothers. He is not ignorant of the hostility he is facing. The great mother also faced it so he knows what will come next.

He didn't wait for what would happen next. He rushed to the world of manifestation immediately. Meanwhile, the law matrix increased in its agitation towards him.

Even if he didn't have the memories of the great mother, the agitation of the law matrix is more than enough to tell him just how bad his situation is. He knows this phenomenon. He has experienced something similar to it when he became a titan of law. The law matrix was agitated back then and it tested his concept. His concept would have been destroyed had it not been accepted.

He is not breaking through to become a titan now but the unmistakable agitation of the law matrix due to the will of the universe is unmistakable. And unlike the time when he was becoming a titan of law, there is no chance of success here. The verdict has already been given. He is not welcomed here so he will be destroyed.

He didn't escape in a random direction. He knows that the spiritual dimension and the world of manifestation are not synchronous. The fact that he entered the spiritual dimension from one place doesn't mean he will exit it from the same place. So he used the connection he has with other clones as a beacon to navigate the space between the two dimensions.

He moved in the direction of the other clones. Legion-7 finally appeared in the world of manifestation. He appeared in the void outside of a realm. This realm is not the High Heaven Realm. He knows this with certainty because he can feel that the clones are still far away from him and there is a faint sense of hostility from this realm toward him.

He got his bearings quickly and was able to estimate the distance between himself and the other clones.

"They are still far away. It seems I have to return to the spiritual dimension."

Soul force protected his bare soul from the corrosion of void energy. He can also move in the void but he decided not to. The distance is too far to fly there before the punishment of the void universe descends. So he returned to the spiritual dimension.

There was no one around him in the spiritual dimension. The great mothers are nowhere to be seen.

"It is either they left or I am somewhere too far from where I escaped." He observed. "There is only one way to find out."

He broke the barrier and returned to the world of manifestation again. The law matrix had not changed its mind about him in the short time he was away. Instead, it has become more agitated.

He assessed his situation again. "I am closer but they are still far away."

He repeated the process of going to the spiritual dimension and using the other clones as beacons as he moved through the law matrix. He is using the spiritual dimension to hop around the world. Others will see this and think he is teleporting. It appears he is crossing large distances every time he appears in the world of manifestation.

The process is fast but it wasn't fast enough. Legion-7 could feel the danger brewing all around him. He has to find safety as soon as possible or he will be punished by the void universe.

He escaped to the spiritual dimension when the danger reached a climax and was about to be released. He spent some time hiding there before he returned to the world of manifestation. The law matrix began brewing again as soon as it sensed him.

This situation continued for almost a year. Legion-7 spent most of the time in the spiritual dimension to avoid the punishment. The time he could spend in the world of manifestation became shorter and shorter as time passed. The will of the universe couldn't be fooled. It learned to react faster and faster to Legion-7's presence outside of the spiritual dimension.

Fortunately, he managed to reach the realm of high heaven before the punishment appeared. He appeared in a plane full of life and most importantly, absent of phoenixes or their eggs.

His happiness didn't last long because the void universe delivered its punishment then. Blue lightning appeared around him to form a storm vortex with him as the focus. Then they bombarded him over and over again.

"This is too much. I didn't die. I merely got lost when I went to the spiritual dimension. Can't you let me go?" he said as he ran about looking for shelter from the tribulation.

He has a point. He didn't die before he went to the spiritual dimension so technically, he has a right to be alive. But the void universe doesn't think so. It continued to bombard him with lightning.

At first, it wasn't painful. The lightning strikes couldn't get past his defense. They only consumed his soul force. Then the blue lightning turned into purple lightning. This lightning finally got past his soup force to harm him. It sought to erode his soul and eliminate him from the world.

As if that wasn't enough, the purple lightning turned into red lightning. One strike of it caused 10% of Legion-7 to disappear instantly. He took 2 more of the strikes before he found a host. He was shaking all over at that point.

He sighed in relief and said, "I am finally safe."

He possessed the host easily. The existence of the host formed a sort of physical barrier that separated him from the world. The intent of the void universe was appeased and the law matrix stopped being agitated.
