Chapter 1190 The Rule Of Law.
Tellos considered how he would have fared had he faced his son in the blood crucible as a young Shapiro. His success in his blood crucible was largely due to luck. He had more time to train and his toughest opponents got rid of each other. But he wouldn't be so lucky if his mutant of a son had participated in the same blood crucible. He would have become one of the 254 Supreme beasts sacrificed to create a 9-slot Supreme beast.
"My point exactly. He will surely survive with his armor so you better prepare to name him and be ready to have him become part of the Supreme Alliance. You should get your eyes off of him because you can't get him."
His father sighed. "If he wins, then he will be the first supreme beast to be produced in this plane this year. So his name will be Agrivo839,371,456A."
The other origin god nodded and said, "Take your eyes off of him. Go and capture a demon or something for your research. You can't do anything against another Supreme beast. At least not until they become immortal."
"But I don't want to give up on this chance. I feel like he holds the potential for the next evolution of our race. His mutation has increased his target of evolution from the organic to the inorganic. Just imagine the application. We might not need a Supreme law to become world gods anymore. We can just become worlds on our own just as we don't need to create concepts to become Origin gods. If I crack this then I might become one of the leaders of the Supreme Alliance."
His listener ignored him and said, "If he survives, he will be the first of our litter to join the Supreme Alliance. The others in his batch haven't become mana entities yet."
Legion-5's father got the message. She is not interested in whatever potential her son has unlike him. She won't change her mind no matter how much he explains the importance of his research. He is not proud of his son and she doesn't care too.
He grumbled and said, "Just say what you came here for."
She didn't take his grumbling to heart. They don't owe each other anything. Just because they bore offspring together doesn't mean they are friends. It was a business arrangement that they were paid for.
She said what she came for. "The location for the rite of passage of the next batch has been decided. It is called the Stellaris plane. The plane isn't special in any way but the rite of passage is special. The higher-ups on the Supreme Alliance are paying some attention to it."
"Is it because of the coming era of conquest?" his father asked.
She replied, "Yes. The supreme alliance wants to empower the younger generation as soon as possible."
He snorted. "Of course, they are not going to empower us adults. We are too old to be cuddled."
She chuckled. "That's how the supreme alliance works. They take care of the younglings and then work them to the bone when they become adults. So there's no need to envy them. They will repay everything that the Supreme Alliance has invested in them and maybe more."
They became silent then. The screen continued to show more of Legion-5's fight. He turned his hand into a spiked mace that he used to bludgeon an opponent that hid within several reinforced barriers. The poor Shapiro thought that he could prevent death by focusing on making strong mana barriers. He thought wrong.
"Can he turn into air or is his transformation limited to solids?" His father asked out of the blue.
"I think I should go." She said and stood up to leave.
His father continued speaking as if he didn't hear what she said, "I think I will just work with him when he becomes an Origin god. I should prepare him well so he doesn't waste his potential though. I think I am going to ask to be his mentor."
She said before leaving, "Keep on dreaming. It is what our ancestors did to lead us to the state of supremacy. If your dream succeeds, then you deserve to become one of the leaders of the Supreme Alliance. Just don't overstep your bounds. The laws of the Supreme Alliance cannot be broken. You can't force him to do anything until he is matured or you will face the wrath of the Supreme Alliance. They are very protective of their goods."
His father muttered, "I am not stupid."
No, he is not stupid. If he were stupid then he would have done something to sabotage Legion-5 while he was still in the egg or after he hatched. He knows his boundaries and the limit of the patience of the Supreme Alliance. The Will of the Supreme Alliance is supreme. Their rules cannot be transgressed. Not even by a Supreme beast.
It is those rules that make the lives of livestock worth less than grass. It is those rules that make every Supreme beast that is not immortal be under the protection of the Supreme Alliance. Those rules were not made by weaklings. Several people have tried to go against those rules. None of them are around now to tell the tale of their attempt.
Anyone who crosses the Supreme Alliance is either cursed by a world god or captured and sealed forever. He doesn't know which one is worse. Being cursed means they will not be healthy but they will have freedom. Being sealed on the other hand means some torture and lack of freedom.
"Either way, it is a bad idea to cross the Supreme Alliance."
Legion-5's father thought of a rare case and he couldn't help but say, "Well, not everyone that went against the Supreme Alliance has been incarcerated. One person succeeded in going against the Supreme Alliance and is still free. They even managed to cross the Supreme Alliance several times."
