GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

She left him then. Her form returned to the realm. He didn't need to ask her what she meant by that reply, but he is still confused because it doesn't seem to have answered his question.

He gained the information about the competition among world gods for the end of the universe and the realm lord's plan to take part in it when Gehaldirah finished the trial of heaven and was rewarded for his success.

That information was in the library, and he thought it was open to anyone who could afford the points needed to access it. But Mother High Heaven is saying it was not so. That means he is one of the few privy to that information.

"What does she mean by it is not general information, and what does that have to do with Legion-9?" He asked himself and the other clones.

---- Soverick

While the other clones are busy preoccupying the Vampires and trying to achieve the second major agenda of Legion, Soverick is busy trying to achieve the first major agenda. This agenda has multiple aims packed into one main goal.

The main goal is for Legion to acquire enough power to rival Supreme Origin gods for the era of conquest and enough power to seal the Vampires. This can be achieved in many ways, hence why it has many aims.

They need more power even though they have Legion-7 and his spark of the soul, which is the equivalent of a Supreme Origin god, because Legion-7's existence is spiritual, as are his abilities. Manipulation of the soul is useless against Origin gods because Origin gods have immortal existence with immortal soul imprints.

Legion-7 can't even devour dead Origin gods, much less living ones, and certainly not ones with Supreme laws. This is not because Origin gods are more powerful than him. But both origin gods with and without supreme laws are very dangerous to Legion-7 because their immortality is enforced by the void universe, and Legion-7 is not strong enough to fight off the void universe.

Even world gods can't do that. They can only keep the Origin god in stasis. World enders despite how dangerous they are to world gods, also can't prevent an Origin god from resurrecting. So Legion has a clear image of how powerful the void universe is.

If they can't fight Mother High Heaven currently, then fighting the void universe is a very bad idea. They know this even without the brief brush with the Will of the Void universe that they have had recently.

It is not that Legion-7 is useless against Origin gods or for their endeavor to eliminate the Vampires once and for all. Legion-7 can surely devour Vampires. But that's a bad idea because Vampires are the vessels of the demon god of Carnage. Now that he is a world ender, no Vampire primogenitor can be devoured, lest it become a battle of existence between Legion and a very angry and special world ender.

As for his usefulness against gods, Celestials are still a problem. Celestials can be killed, but Legion-7 doesn't have any advantage over them in a fight. Legion-7 is not useless, of course. He can resist the influence of a world god as long as the world god is acting from a very far distance.

So Legion needs power, and they need it fast. In hopes of achieving it, Soverick has been tasked with fixing their problems with supreme laws. The problem with his mission is that creating a Supreme Law is very difficult.

It is very easy to build a concept, which he did for every clone. But a Supreme Law is more than difficult to build. It is also very difficult to build a law matrix and a world fragment, but they would rather do that than start working on a Supreme Law.

Building a law matrix is easier since a law matrix is a manifestation of the interaction between the derivatives of a Supreme Law. They can just build a fake law matrix that lacks the power of a Supreme Law. But they can empower it with their shards of power and turn it into a world fragment.

It is a shortcut that they can take to acquire the power they need to match Supreme Origin gods. It can work because they can use their world fragment to replace the power of a supreme law. That is, as long as the law matrix they build is able to allow them to use their shards of power for long periods of time. Hence, he is currently working on building the artifact with Legion-9 and an extension of Legion-7 through him instead of focusing all his attention on building a Supreme Law. He and Legion believe that it is a more efficient use of their time.

He estimated confidently as he worked, "We should be ready before the era of conquest."

He is in his true form right now. He is a single eye with multiple multicolored tentacles extended out of him.

These tentacles work in accurate tandem with the eye to assemble the law matrix. They are able to weave quickly because the resistance of the law fragments has been removed thanks to the cosmic force from Legion-5. All in all, they are making good time.

What they are building is a work of art. It is a phantasmic structure of energy for operation, matter for form, information or laws that dictate what forms it takes, and forces that keep the individual parts together or apart to maintain its form.

Each part is tweaked in a specific manner and works together with the others, like the gears in clockwork. But unlike clockwork, what they are building can explode in their faces.

The world fragment is a very difficult thing to describe. Several parts of it exist in different states of matter that can only be imagined by a weak mind and not understandable. If they don't know that space has layers, how will they be able to understand or envision a twist in the fabric of space?
