GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

This tribulation is not the localized storm of lightning that Legion-7 used to be afraid of. The void universe is determined this time to get rid of him at all costs. He has crossed its bottom line so he must be destroyed even if the plane must be sacrificed.

So the sky changed as a storm that covered the whole plane appeared. Then red lightning descended onto the whole plane. It attacked everything indiscriminately. The void universe aimed to destroy every single trace of him in the world.

The plane descended into chaos. The lightning strikes are aimed at the zombies and secret clones but they will attack anything and anyone close to them too. So the zombies and the soldiers of the gods died in droves.

"This is just going too far," Legion-7 complained. "You didn't even warn me or tell me to stop. You just decided to kill me immediately."

Of course, he wouldn't have listened if he had been told to stop. He would have tried again in another way or found a more secret method to steal law fragments. But that's because he has low integrity. The void universe is not him. He believes that it should have a higher integrity instead of acting like a bully.

The lightning storm targeted everything related to him in the plane. Even everywhere he had been was demolished by lightning. Inactive spores and undercover clones were destroyed by the angry lightning storm. Because others didn't know what caused the storm, they cursed the void universe for its wickedness.

They are not the only ones with this opinion. The Celestial Supreme also believes that the void universe is going too far. She knows what the cause of the lightning tribulation is and what it aims to achieve but the sacrifice is too painful for her to bear.

"Retreat." She ordered her soldiers and the gods.

They fell back to their cities. But they didn't gain peace. Legion-7 tried his best to hide from the void universe. He ditched Malekite's body and hid in animals. But that didn't fool the Will of the void universe.

Nothing he did gave him respite from the lightning tribulation. The only safe place for him is the city protected by the divine power of Celestials. The infected can't enter the city but the barrier around the city can't stop him. So the lightning storm targeted the city he hid in.

Kilorita became angry when she noticed that a city had become the focus of the tribulation. It doesn't take a genius to infer why that is so.

She roared to the heavens. "This despicable plague. I must end it today or it will be the end of the plane."

It truly feels like the end of the plane. The lightning storm is destroying everything. It is cratering the ground and setting fire to the plane. The dormant volcanos all over the plane are preparing to erupt because their top was blown open.

She knew what she must do to end this so she she flew to the city under siege of the lightning tribulation. The heavens punished her for her interference but she didn't let the lightning strikes stop her along the way.

Her determination was rewarded immediately when she got to the city. She could finally sense the root of the disease. Legion-7 avoided her city but he is still under the influence of a Celestial so therefore, he is under her influence.

She can use that to tell his general location. When combined with her connection with the will of the plane, she can narrow down his location and confirm his position. She knew immediately which body he was currently inhabiting.

"Die for me." She roared as she thrust her hand forward.

Several golden lightning spears materialized around her figure and shot toward Legion-7.

"Everyone has their day to shine. This is yours." He said as he escaped into another person.

He escaped the bombardment of lightning but his position was exposed by the void universe because of the localized lightning storm that appeared around him. So another bombardment from Kilorita came soon after.

He realized that could't evade the Celestial Supreme this way. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a choice. He has been ganged up on by the void universe and the Celestial Supreme. The addition of the Will of the Void Universe is the straw that broke his already burdened back. The best he can do is run.

The two of them began a game of cat and mouse. She chased after him with the determination to kill him here. He switched bodies with a determination not to die.

Meanwhile, he tried many ways to hide. He tried to use soul grafting instead of direct possession. He tried to possess the young and the old to see if age would affect stealth.

All of them failed to keep him hidden from the Celestial Supreme. He even tried to become intangible as he did when he escaped from the great mother in the Spiritual Dimension but it didn't work.

His host weighed him down so he has to leave his host to become tangible. But leaving his host meant exposing himself to lightning. Even after doing this, the lightning strikes could still hit him after becoming intangible.

Fortunately, he finally found a way after numerous attempts. He didn't possess any host. He didn't even touch their soul. Instead, he stayed in the soul space of the host while using illusion to hide his presence from the soul of his host. So the host is still alive and ignorant of his presence.

The ignorance of his host and the lack of interference on his part meant that the Will of the plane couldn't find him. That also meant Kilorita couldn't find him then. Only the lightning tribulation continued.

He had to sever his control over his zombies and sacrifice all the soul fragments that he had used for spores in order to appease the void universe. It wasn't until there was no more targets that the storm terrorizing the plane ended.
