Chapter 1517: A New Godling. |
Even infinite cosmic energy can't save him from his existence dissipating because of the scattering of the law of order. So Legion-5 gave Helios a multicolored orb that resembles the heart of a realm.
The orb itself has many colors, but it was glowing with a bright white light that formed a halo around it. It had runes all over its surface that were being displayed onto the surroundings as holographs. Helios accepted the orb and absorbed it seemlessly.
None of the inhabitants of the planes that Helios used to serve saw this. Even if they saw it, they were unlikely to realize that the multicolored orb was the dragon heart of a god beast.
As for the few that were watching and knew what one of the clones threw to the star, even fewer knew about the changes that the star underwent because of the dragon heart.
Legion-4 is a star, but he is also a clone of Legion-8. Because of it, he doesn't need the divine ability of Supreme Beasts to take full advantage of the dragon heart. Besides, they have the same origin, so Legion-8's concept is technically his concept.
Helios received the dragon heart and almost became another copy of Legion-8. He didn't become another copy of Legion-8, though. This is because he has his own divine ability and budding concept.
Helios is a being with a divine ability that is the fusion of the law of Order, the law of fire, the law of light, and the divine energy of the Celestial of the Sun. The dragon heart couldn't replace this concept and had to fuse with it.
Although the two concepts are in no way similar, one is a dragon heart, which can empower anyone who uses it, and the other is a perfect clone of Legion-8 with the law of order. Not only can Helios replace Legion-8, the law of order can also fuse with its derivative laws as long as there is divine energy to coerce it and as long as the laws are compatible with it.
The dragon heart has many laws that are not compatible with the law of order, but the heart of a god beast is another form of the Authority of the Void Universe bestowed right from birth. Plus, there happens to be a lot of divine energy from the tree father, so the two concepts fused to become something greater.
The fragments of the law of order turned gray and were frozen. Then Helios's incomplete concept was combined with Legion-8's concept. Then the fragments were released, but it was too late to resist by then.
Helios stopped being a star immediately; he accepted the dragon heart. He became a Sovereign of law with a 14-law concept, then he became an Origin god by fusing with an Origin essence. Now he has become a godling that cannot be killed easily.
Soverick muttered as he watched, "This is odd. No one is coming to fight us."
Legion-7 asked him, "Didn't you see that this was the best time for him to make his breakthrough? Why are you surprised that you were right?"
"I thought for sure that I was missing something. After all, this is a good time for our enemies to deal us a big blow. I thought they had used their information about us to hide themselves. But no one is coming to interfere."
Legion-1 shrugged and said, "That can't be bad news."
The Tree Father agreed. "We need all the good news we can have right now."
Soverick still didn't feel at ease. He said, "But if they are not attacking us now, they might be preparing to attack us when we least expect it."
Legion-5 also felt that things had gone too smoothly for Helios. He said, "There is nothing we can do about it short of going to attack them ourselves. If they won't come to us, then we can only leave them alone."
Aeternus sighed and said, "That's a shame. I was hoping they would show up."
Soverick looked at him and said, "Maybe they are not coming because of you and what you did to an entire plane full of Origin gods."
Legion expected interference and was prepared for it. They were standing guard around Helios, watching out for enemies, but there were none. Instead, Helios broke through seamlessly and even unified with Legion-7 without issues.
It caused them to feel uneasy, especially since they knew that they were currently being watched by a powerful entity deep within the dark side of the void universe and many other entities just below the law matrix.
Being watched is an unpleasant feeling. It is worse when they know that nothing they do is secret and is being spread to everyone influential. As it is, probably every dragon and supreme beast knows that they reincarnated and that they have clones with different powers.
Legion expected a fight because this was the right opportunity to interrupt them and deal some damage to them. They have even prepared a bomb in case a world god comes. It is a bomb that they have prepared for the first sage, but they are willing to use it to make any world god that interferes with them regret it.
But it seems their enemies don't plan to be predictable. If they are not going to be predictable, then things won't be simple for them. Unfortunately, it is as Legion-5 said, if they won't come to fight them, the alternative is for Legion to go and pick a fight with them. They won't do that when they can do something better, like making themselves stronger.
It is a better alternative to try to make themselves untouchable before their enemies get around to targeting them. Helios's breakthrough into a dragon of Order is just a step in that direction. With him, they retain the ability to dominate laws and even enhance it because of the law of order.
