Chapter 1307 So Long Losers!
Despite being far larger than him, they are faster than him. A single flap of their twelve wings propeled them farther than one would expect from creatures so large. So he couldn't outrun them. Their persistence made him decide to leave the spiritual dimension.
Something about his special state is preventing him from using soul force to boost himself. That means he can't attack or defend himself in this state on top of being slow. He also isn't sure how long his special state is going to last. So he shot towards the barrier at the top of the spiritual dimension since he couldn't outrun them.
One of the great mothers cried out in dismay.
"Nooooooo!"
The others pleaded with him.
"Don't go."
"Stay with us."
"Achieve greatness with us."
They were very sincere. It was unlike the fake sweet words they said to him before. But he still didn't listen to them.
He managed to reach the barrier despite the best efforts of the great mothers. Unfortunately, the barrier stopped him from going further.
"This can touch me?" He asked in surprise. "It seems it is not purely spiritual?"
He expected to pass through the barrier the way he passed through the great mothers but he was blocked by the barrier. It reminded him of how the nether water can still interact with him. He had sensed that his existence was causing ripples in the surrounding nether water which meant he wasn't phasing through it.
He considered the situation before complaining. "This complicates things. I am free in this state but I can't use soul force. If I can't use soul force then I can't break this barrier. But if I leave my special state and use soul force, the great mothers will be able to get me before I break the barrier."
Then he asked the pertinent question, "How am I going to escape now?""
He can't use soul force in his strange state. He has tried to and it hasn't worked. If he can't use soul force then he will be trapped in the spiritual dimension. It is ironic since he is strong enough to break the barrier. But he is not strong enough to fight off the great mothers.
He began to try everything he had at his disposal. His attempt to use something other than soul force became successful right from the start. His phantom state became solid again as soon as he tried to wield Origin energy. However, his intangible form became tangible once again.
Unfortunately, he is surrounded by the great Mothers so he was nabbed as soon as he acquired a solid existence. The tentacle holding him lost him when he stopped using Origin energy. His soul had returned to its phantom state.
"I see. I can't use any form of energy in this state." Then he said with a grin. "I can work with this."
He began weaving through the great mothers. He would pass through them and then become solid as he used soul force to gain a speed boost. Next, he would turn into a phantom as soon as he was captured. Then he passed through whichever great mother captured him. He repeated this series of actions all the while moving in a straight line through the blockade.
Unlike him, the great mothers can't phase through each other so he used each other to block them. He did this to get to the edge of the encirclement. They couldn't keep him surrounded because they had to go around each other.
He activated his solid state as soon as he got to the edge of the encirclement. Then he used soul force to enhance his movement. It made him shoot away from the great mothers.
He called behind him, "So long losers. I will..."
He had to stop because they had attacked him. A red beam of fire was ejected from the eye of one of the great mothers. The attack won't kill him but it will certainly delay him if he dodges it or activates his intangible state. So he decided to block it.
He raised a reinforced barrier of soul force behind him. The attack struck the barrier and pushed him forward. Many more attacks came but they couldn't stop him from running away.
"Nooo!" The great mothers roared unwillingly behind him. "Come back. Join us. Achieve greatness with us."
He didn't return to them at all. Instead, he made a large distance between them as soon as possible. He was cackling madly during the process. Ragnarok also got his freedom in the meantime. The shard of power had also affected the others in one way or the other.
Aeternus managed to make soul force solidify. Helios is becoming a star and the tree father overcame the restriction of having more than one domain. Soverick also got an enhancement for his vision. Even the unborn dragon clone was affected.
The only clones who were not affected were Legion-1 and Legion-5 who was still in the egg.
Legion-7 decided to break the barrier after making enough distance between him and the great mothers.
"I am leaving this place now. I have had enough of this dark deathly world."
He could have decided to swagger through the spiritual dimension since nothing could threaten him anymore but he didn't. He didn't want to spend any more time than he had to in this barren world. He was so eager to leave that he used his full power to break the barrier.
The great mothers are still chasing after him but they are too far apart for them to interrupt his escape from the spiritual dimension. He has grown stronger in the hundred years of servitude so breaking the barrier was easy to do.
Legion-7 felt the change in the environment immediately.
"Ah." He sighed in relief. "This is the law matrix. How I have missed you."
He was relieved and happy to return to the familiar law matrix. However, the law matrix was not happy to see him.
