Chapter 1302 Legion-9 The Traitor.
?A small white bird entered the range of his perception. The white-feathered soul fragment said smugly to him, "We meet again, immortal one."
Legion-7 was flustered by the presence of a soul fragment of the great mother. But he wasn't scared since he could escape again. He just had to do what he did last time.
"How did you find me?" he asked as he attacked.
He swung a blade of soul force at it. This attack would cleave the soul fragment in half if it struck it. It is clear that he wasn't really interested in the answer the soul fragment would provide. He truly plans to kill it.
The soul fragment tried to run away. It said as it retreated, "I was right. You are our light of hope. You are our salvation. Join us. Become one with us and achieve greatness with us."
Legion-7 sneered, "You don't want to tell me. But that's okay. I will find out when I kill you."
Actually, he is glad that he came across a soul fragment of the great mother. He will be able to gain more information about her to prepare himself for their eventual fight.
He doesn't plan to leave the spiritual dimension forever when he becomes capable of leaving. He is still going to return to beat and consume the great mother. So even if the great mother doesn't chase after him relentlessly, he will eventually chase after her.
All the soul fragment could do was dodge his attacks. It knew it couldn't harm him so it tried to run away. Unfortunately for it, Legion-7 has developed very well in the almost 200 years since he came to the spiritual dimension. He is not the noob he was that struggled with a soul fragment.
He easily caught up to the soul fragment and slashed it in half. He made sure not to scatter the soul fragment. Instead, he kept it intact to preserve the bulk of its memories.
Then he grabbed hold of it with his divine sense to start the soul grafting immediately since the soul fragment was so weak. He made contact with the soul fragment with his divine sense.
Then he exclaimed, "Oh no."
He was able to see the thread connecting the soul fragment to the great mother when his divine sense made contact with it. What he saw shook him to the core.
The great mother, that great white angelic bird with 12 wings and one eye is right outside the range of the black hole. This soul fragment and many others around him are scouts to check for traps before she decides to make a move on him.
She saw him when he saw her. Her single eye fixed on him across the distance. He heard in his mind, "I have found you, immortal one. It seems this is not a trap. That is good. Come out to me. Become one with me. Do not struggle. Resistance is futile and greatness is good."
Legion-7 crushed the soul fragment and absorbed the memories within it directly. He is not willing to risk a soul graft since the soul fragment is connected to the great mother.
Memories flowed into his mind in a coherent manner since he didn't let nether water destroy part of it. The memories brought with them contamination and knowledge. He settled the contamination with the origin essence and then digested the memories. It was then that he found out how the great-mother found him.
"Legion-9 screwed me." He said in realization. "He is not only my saving grace. He is everyone's saving grace."
He roared mentally at Legion-9, "You traitor!!"
Legion-9 shrugged. "Don't disturb me. I have work to do."
Legion-7 lamented with a sigh. "I am so screwed."
He has gained a lot of information. He now knows how the great mother evolved her soul. He also knows how the Great Mother found him. Or in this case, how the Great Mothers found him.
It turns out that his enemies are more than one and they are all here because of the calling of evolution. He has gained a lot of information but he is not glad. He is not even glad that he now knows what is causing the attraction to Legion-9.
He knew before that any entity that encounters godhood will feel a longing for it because it promises evolution. He didn't know that this longing would be amplified several times and the distance of its influence would be expanded to near infinity in the spiritual dimension. Now he knows. But it is too late. The Great Mothers are here.
He didn't give up though. He rushed to escape in the other direction. He went around the black hole only for him to see another great white feathered bird with 12 wings and a single eye.
Spiritual fluctuations for communication were sent to him from this great mother. "You can not escape. Join with us. Become one with us to achieve greatness."
Legion-7 didn't say anything. He rushed sideways but he had to stop because there were two great mothers there blocking his way. Each one of them is as large as a plane. They truly have wings that can cover the sky.
There are millions of threads from their bodies which are connected to millions of soul fragments to form an army around them. Each of these soul fragments is a small white raven with a single eye on them.
He saw all of this and he despaired. If he had a heart, it would tighten right now.
"I can't escape. I am surrounded." He said in resignation.
Then he chuckled. "The great mothers truly mean business this time around."
Each great mother is not an entity he can fight and beat. He might survive a fight against one great mother, but he certainly can't beat it. Now there are several of them here. And they brought an army of millions of soul fragments too. One can imagine the depths of their sincerity to have him.
