GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

He has just been used as bait and the plane is under attack but he was more concerned about his domain and its newly discovered functions.

He said, "So I can use my cosmic force within a domain."

"It is a pity that we couldn't see what you can truly do before this Origin god gave up. Should we try Legion-1's domain?"

Legion-5 shook his head inwardly. "That's too dangerous. She wasn't weak but she couldn't bear the burden of cosmic force. We will need an Origin god with a supreme law to withstand the pressure of cosmic force."

They already knew how dangerous cosmic force was before they saw it crack the existence of an Origin god. Their encounter with it when building their world fragment is why they wanted to kidnap Hadrick to use for their experiments.

Cosmic force is so dangerous that it can kill an immortal instantly. The tree father wasn't immortal so they didn't want to risk him. They resorted to letting Legion-1 bear the backlash of their experiments. Even then Legion-1 suffered greatly.

His inner world is very powerful since it belongs to a world beast. It also had been reinforced with the Authority of A Celestial Supreme and cosmic energy but the minuscule fluctuations of cosmic force from the explosion of the law matrix they made caused a lot of problems for him.

That aside, cosmic force is the binding that they used to seal the world eater in the inner world. They didn't create that cosmic force personally and can't control it. It is just a natural state of the difference between the coefficient of time and space created by the collapsing Kickstarter. Even so, it is still dangerous.

Those two Supreme beings have to bear the burden of the increasing cosmic force while enduring the reoccurring collapse. That is what is preventing them from escaping.

So they were not ignorant of the power of cosmic force before they began to wield it. Now that they have seen an Origin god crack under its influence, there is no way that they would allow Legion-1 to bear it.

"We have a world engine and a world eater in his inner world. If anything happens to Legion-1 right now then we are doomed."

Legion-7 was disappointed that they had to wait. This made him become more grateful to the Shadow Lurker for her generosity. "We have to thank her for giving us the opportunity for enlightenment. It is generosity that is high as the sky."

Legion-5 looked at the burning sky and chuckled. He changed the subject. "I think we should be able to wield cosmic force when we become Origin gods. It should be possible even if it is a little bit."

Legion-7 agreed, "We should indeed be able to handle the backlash a little bit since we will have double means of immortality. Both our Immortality and the Immortality of the void universe should provide enough foundation to test it. That is if we don't end up sealed like the Shadow Lurker by the Supreme Alliance."

"Hmmm. She might expose what we did to her."

"Our days in the Supreme Alliance are numbered. We can't continue staying amongst enemies like this."

"It is good that we are already planning to leave. Let's take something good before we leave though."

They spoke nonchalantly about the Origin god that tried to kidnap them as fire rained down from the sky all around them. They are more concerned about what she learned about them than the fact that the plane is under attack.

Unfortunately, they can't do anything about her. Not only because of the Supreme Alliance but because she is immortal. She will retain her memories as long as she doesn't die within a domain.

So they can only be content with the chance that she doesn't know that they were the ones responsible for her collapse. After all, she was frozen when he used his domain.

Besides, a young Supreme beast shouldn't have a domain in the first place so it is unlikely that he would be suspected. But that doesn't change the fact that she kidnapped them only for something bad to happen to her within her domain. The pool of suspects is not large at all.

Their attention was finally drawn away from their musing by an imminent attack. He looked towards the sky towards a phoenix swooping down at him. This phoenix managed to get past the millions of robots in the sky.

It wasn't an easy feat. It was bombarded by attacks and died several times but it reconstructed itself again and again from the ashes of its corpse to continue pushing forward. The Phoenixes used this tactic to help one of them get into the plane.

The red flaming bird cried out at them, "I have found you immortal one. You cannot hide from us. Your shell does not fool us."

It said with excitement, "Join us. Become one with us. Achieve greatness with us."

Legion-5 chuckled, "You have done well to find me. It seems you have been planning this attack for quite a while."

"Yes, we have," It admitted with glee. "You are precious to us. Now come with us to achieve greatness."

His base has been destroyed so he can't use it to defend. This phoenix is not the only one approaching him. There are two others that have managed to get through the blockade in the sky but Legion-5 didn't feel threatened.

He rose up to the sky to meet the Phoenix. Fire poured down on him like a waterfall. But he emerged unscathed from the torrent of fire. It literally washed over him like water over a rock. The only effect it had on him was a consumption of Origin energy.

The Phoenix evaded him but he managed to grab its wing with one of his outstretched hands. He tore the wing only for it to regenerate instantly.

However, it gave him the time to grab its neck with his other hand. He didn't even do anything but the Phoenix made a funny and painful sound as its flames were extinguished.
