Chapter 1166 The Famous Experiment.
1166 The Famous Experiment.
He thought to himself, "I can strangle it so easily. It will be so easy to do. I don't even need to use force. All I need to do is inject my divine sense into his egg. It will surely destabilize the egg and lead to his death."
He is contemplating killing the egg. He truly wants to kill it to satiate his curiosity. A measly egg is a worthy price to pay for the increase in his knowledge. It will be easy to do too. Unfortunately, he can't.
He is not even allowed to scan the egg directly with his divine sense. He had to use external measurements like temperature, air intake, air outtake, etc to determine the internal conditions of the egg. His divine sense is too powerful and might affect the egg so the Supreme Alliance banned him from doing it.
He can't kill the egg unintentionally much less kill the egg intentionally because of the duty contract he signed. So he had to watch the egg thrive and thrive.
The Subordinate was also watching with intrigue.
They watched Legion-5 closely with different motives but both of them were stunned when the life signs coming from Legion-5 rose sharply until they surpassed the other eggs who have always had the support of the mother plant and were never used as nutrients to be siphoned for the others.
His father stopped watching at that point. He made that decision after roaring in frustration. As for Legion-5, his life was carefree after that near-death experience. Mana came from Soverick so he was growing stronger quickly. His divine ability mutated with the addition of fire, water, air, earth, light, and darkness.
"That makes 7 laws. It is not like Soverick's 9 law divine ability but it is still going to be very difficult to use to become a titan of law."
"I'm all for the increase in versatility for a divine ability but how does this divine ability expect me to create a concept greater than a six-law concept? If it was so easy, people would have done it and the realm lord wouldn't be so special."
He tried to keep a positive attitude due to the mutation but he couldn't help but worry about his future. Even the creation of a bloodline due to the flooding of law fragments in his body didn't ease his worry.
He doesn't think a bloodline can help him in creating a concept like it does to normal beings. After all, he can Comprehend laws faster from the law matrix than comprehending them from his bloodline. So what he sees from his bloodline is not assistance but a reminder of the difficulty that he is to overcome if he wants to awaken his divine ability further in the future.
"We'll get to it when we get there. I'll just hatch for now."
His divine ability is a problem for the future. He is just over a hundred years old and he hasn't hatched yet so he tried to stop worrying for the moment. His attempt to enjoy a carefree life came to an end when Helios wanted to perform the experiment that would bring Chaos energy into their mind network.
He warned them, "We have to be very careful about this. Legion-8 and I are still in our eggs. We are not like the rest of you. We won't be able to resist Chaos energy at all if it gets to us. We will surely die."
This Chaos energy is not the weak one that Aeternus encountered as an unborn demon. Aeternus is a demon king now with a divine level Chaos energy capable of killing Celestials and Origin gods.
Even the Claymore that he got from the realm lord can't resist Chaos energy anymore and has been destroyed. Legion-5's soul is still a weak fragment so he will surely be snuffed out if the Chaos energy gets to him.
"What are you scared of? I will be the one that will bear the brunt of the Chaos energy." Legion-1 said.
Aeternus joined in, "And I will be the one that might be killed if things go wrong."
It is true that the Chaos energy will first to Legion-1 and Aeternus will be killed by the tree father if anything goes wrong. But Legion-5 didn't back down. "You two are prepared to die, but not me. I haven't lived and I haven't done anything yet. And I believe that I have the greatest potential among all of us. Even Legion-8 doesn't have as much potential as me. He is just a dragon. His divine ability didn't get an upgrade because of origin essence so he will be an ordinary dragon with a more powerful soul."
Legion-8 refuted. "I won't be ordinary. The power of a dragon is dependent on the soul so I will be very strong as soon as I am born meanwhile you will be a weak hatchling."
Soverick joined in, "Legion-5 makes a good point. Legion-7 is enslaved and Legion-6 is shackled with a demon god. That's two out of 9 of us that aren't doing well. It will be bad if we kill Legion-5 and Legion-8 too."
Aeternus shrugged. "Legion-6 and Legion-7 have become a waste unless they die. As for Legion-5 and Legion-8, we will still be able to do something useful with the slot that will open when they die."
"That's true." Legion-1 agreed. "I can remake their soul fragments as long as I live. We will lose their divine abilities but it is a risk worth taking."
That made Legion-5 twitch. "What reliable clones I have. They are already planning for my death and replacement."
If he dies, then he will be replaced by another soul fragment. That soul fragment will have his memories and those of others but it won't be him anymore. It won't have his point of view and his divine sense. He would be gone so he doesn't want to die if he can help it.
