Chapter 1202 Pros And Cons Of Permanence.
"This is crazy. The two paths are contradictory. I have to either choose the path of permanence and lose further awakening of my divine ability, or choose the path of further awakening and lose permanence and therefore lose the chance of having a Supreme law."
"But I need my divine ability to awaken further if I want it to become powerful enough to shift into a world engine. But if I awaken it further and it becomes powerful enough to shift into a world engine, the shift will be temporary so I won't be able to do anything permanent with it. Either way, I can't become a world god. I need both permanence and further awakening."
A world engine is a powerful piece of machinery. It is way more powerful than an Origin weapon so It is not something that his current divine ability that can't assimilate Origin weapons safely can assimilate.
He has tried to assimilate an Origin weapon and he did succeed but it was a she guessed. The fragments of law contained with it poisoned and tried to kill him. It is easy to come to the conclusion that a world engine would not be safe for his health.
Then he got an idea, "Why am I thinking like them? I am not them. I am not a supreme beast. I am Legion."
He can become a very powerful Origin god just like world beasts and dragons if he simulates the conditions of a world within himself. But unless he has the foundation of a world spark or supreme law, a world engine, and a world seed, he will never become as powerful as a world god.
Even if he gets all of them, unless he is able to hold onto them permanently, then he will not be able to become a permanent world god. His power will be temporary and one little change might make him lose the power forever and have to start all over again. That is unless he takes a shortcut.
He began to review the information that Tanc830,428,723C sent to him. He swore not to divulge it but every Legion has access to it too. They poured over the information and brainstormed together. First, they split the two paths into pros and cons.
The path of permanence relies on the ability of Supreme Beasts to steal divine abilities and make them theirs without any repercussions. They use that to become Sovereigns easily. They are unlike titans of law that use seeds of power of dead Sovereigns but can't become Origin gods because they can't fuse completely with the seed of power.
The seed of power was created step by step by a transcendent from lord of law to creating a concept as a titan of law and gaining full control of it as a Sovereign. It contains their image, their soul imprints, and possesses their Origin as its source. The soul imprint is the major reason why others can't fuse with the seed of power of another being to become Origin gods.
Titans of law can use the seed of power but it isn't theirs. It will always reject them if they try to fuse with it. But Supreme beasts can break this resistance by changing their own existence to fit that of the seed of power.
"Supreme Beasts are the ultimate shapeshifters. Their high-elf ancestors can't do this. This is the enhancement from their demon ancestor." Legion-5 said in admiration.
"Reproduction with demons doesn't always end well. I am certain that there are other offsprings of the union of high elves and demons that did not turn out so well." Aeternus said.
Legion-1 joined in, "That is true. But they are probably all dead now."
The discussion of hybrid offsprings brought to their minds the demonic beasts that live in the abyss. They are offsprings of demons with other races. That's the reason why they can survive in the abyss considering the hatred of the abyss for other creatures.
But those demonic beasts don't have marks of sins and their potential has been stunted. Most of them stop growing after becoming low-rank demons which are the equivalent of mana entities. They are rated as food by other demons.
It is rare for anyone of them reach the high-rank. Aeternus found one such talented demonic snake that he turned into his subordinate. Xander is an outlier among demonic beasts because most of them are stunted physically, mentally, or spiritually. The handicap makes them go extinct.
Very few are like Supreme beasts who acquired favorable features from their parents. Even then, Supreme bBeastseasts had to go through a period of difficulty before they could realize their potential.
Their high mana affinity and skin changing saved them for a while but it quickly became obsolete when the era of transcendents began. If the ancient Shapiro had failed to evolve then they would have been forgotten by now or would have been raised as food by some other strong race.
Legion returned to browsing the data about the path of permanence. The path of permanence enables Supreme beasts to ascend to become Sovereigns easily and to have 9 divine abilities. This is very powerful but is not without its own cons. For one, all the divine abilities or concepts that are stolen must not conflict with each other or they will be lost when a Supreme Beast becomes an Origin god.
Each supreme beast has 9 slots thanks to the blood crucible. Supreme beasts can become a Sovereign today and proceed to breakthrough to become an Origin god immediately after. This can be done easily as long as the supreme steals just one seed of power. In exchange, they will lose their other 8 slots.
As for others that have more than one seed of power as Sovereigns of law, they must comprehend all the laws contained within the concepts and fuse them. Their law affinity might be low but the eternal life that they have as Sovereigns will give them more than enough time to comprehend the laws needed as opposed to the limited 10 Origin cycles lifespan of Lords of law.
