Chapter 1164 Salvation From The Title.
1164 Salvation From The Title.
This change didn't go unnoticed by others. The branch of the supreme mother noticed it too. It informed the person in charge of this hatchery. The branch is in one of the numerous large vats in a much larger metal structure underground. This underground structure is the size of a city. It is one of the three hatcheries in the plane where the future generation of supreme beasts are produced.
This hatchery alone has 3 origin gods protecting it while the whole plane has 10 Origin gods on standby. The supreme beast alliance will attack a plane with 3 Origin gods but they will station 10 Origin gods in the plane to protect their young.
One can imagine just how much importance they place on their young. The slightest changes to the condition of the eggs are passed across to the administrators of the hatchery immediately.
Legion-5's father was in charge of the plane, and all the hatcheries, and most importantly, this particular change happened to one of his unhatched offspring so he was informed.
"A mutation?" His father asked.
His Sovereign subordinate replied, "Yes, his divine ability is mutating but the mother plant has determined him to be dead. I think he is a chimera."
"He will not make it. Bring his corpse to me when he dies."
"I will do so Monarch Tellos."
They are not going to do anything about the information about his mutation. They would have been excited about a mutation had it occurred before the mother plant determined Legion-5 to be unviable. But now that he has been determined unviable. It means he can't survive the gestation process and will surely die under the siphoning of the mother plant.
Nothing can save him. It is already difficult to hatch without the mother plant. It becomes impossible to hatch when even the mother tree determines him to be unviable. So his father has reconciled himself with his death.
There are more than 10,000 fruits but less than 100 of them will survive. The death of one is not something to fret about even if it has a mutation. In fact, it is a good thing. His father will be able to use his corpse for research after his death.
Legion-5 wasn't assisted in any way but they began paying more attention to him so that they could take his corpse as soon as he died. He on the other remained ignorant of his situation until he started sensing that his body was dying.
"What's going on? Is my mother dying too?" He asked himself.
That's the only explanation that he can think of. He doesn't have any information about the reproduction methods of the Supreme Beast race. He can only sense that he is connected to another entity which is the situation with viviparous reproduction.
He shouldn't be connected to another entity if it is oviparous reproduction. An egg is a closed environment after all. It is this entity that he is connected to that is killing him. That's why he came to the conclusion that his mother was dying.
He complained. "What do I do now? I am not Legion-6. I am not strong enough to break out of my mother. Will I die and fail to reincarnate like Legion-7?"
He doesn't know what to do. He is still gestating so he is very weak. His undeveloped body is yet to adapt to his soul and it will take longer to finish growing because of the changes to his divine ability.
He has only spent 40 years out of the hundreds of years needed for normal supreme beasts to gestate. He can't survive outside of the womb yet like Legion-7 who was already ready to be born. At this rate, he might die like Legion-7.
His death seemed to be foregone. It is slow but he is dying slowly. The mother plant is killing him. His situation could be alleviated if they cut off the mother plant from him. He is not like the other helpless eggs. He can surely hatch on his own.
Unfortunately, he isn't growing at all. He is doing the opposite. His body is degenerating as it is being broken down. Those who should help him are instead watching him like cycling vultures waiting for him to die so that they can take advantage of him.
Things changed when Soverick became the child of the Virut plane some 14 years later. Mana rushed into his soul and into his body through the soul sphere. Helios and Ragnarok took advantage of the supply to grow stronger but no one needed the mana as much as Legion-5. It was really a life and death matter for him. His body had already become gaunt. If not for his powerful soul, his existence would have broken apart sooner.
He sighed in relief. "Soverick saved me. Unfortunately, Legion-7's situation is not so good."
His situation has changed. Death has been starved off. His body began to develop better. This change didn't go unnoticed either. His watchers were baffled by the changes.
His father went through the report about his condition over and over again. He asked incredulously, "Are you sure this is correct?"
"Definitely sir. I checked several times. These readings are accurate with a certainty of 99.9999%. He has stopped dying and is growing stronger."
The doll-like Origin god was silent for a while as he considered the situation. He couldn't figure out why a dying egg that had been labeled as unviable suddenly regained vitality.
He thought to himself, "Hmm. Maybe it has something to do with his mutation."
His mind fixated on that possibility and greed appeared within him. "I have to know if it is because of his mutation."
He made up his mind so he said to his subordinate, "Cut him off from the mother tree. It seems he is resilient. Let's help him by removing the burden of the siphoning."
The Sovereign subordinate suggested carefully, "But he could die. He is doing well now so we should probably just leave him be."
