Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1584: A Stalemate.
In fact, the tools are remotely controlled by those Supreme Beasts. They don’t need to brave any danger to subdue him anymore. One contact with him is all they need to capture him.
He couldn’t let that happen, so he released his nullification domain. This is the main ability he gained from fusing with the heart of a giant of order demigod. It doesn’t need cosmic energy to nullify every ability and concept that he doesn’t have.
This domain rendered every Origin god powerless. Even the ones with world fragments couldn’t resist it because the law matrix had forsaken them. There was nothing within them for their world fragments to enhance, and they were very close to him, so they became lambs to the slaughter.
He opened his mouth and roared. What came out of his mouth was a lightning flood. It poured out of his mouth and submerged everyone around him. Every Origin god died as lightning plasma burned them to ashes. Only the Supreme Origin gods were still standing.
The Supreme Law of Supreme Origin gods can create a sort of temporary law matrix around them that can take over the law matrix around them and render any attack that isn’t on par with a Supreme Law useless. It can also resist his nullification domain because their power is not reliant on the Supreme Law of Order.
So they were able to survive being this close to him. But then the force of devouring appeared. It unfolded out of him and formed into a whirlpool that submerged everyone of them.
The whirlpool wanted to tear them apart, and it was at the limit of strength, so they had to resist it with supreme defense. But that made them unable to approach Legion-5 anymore as the whirlpool was dragging them about.
They could overcome the dragging by switching to supreme strength, but they didn’t. It is a good idea because Legion-5 was waiting like a hawk, watching for prey.
They didn’t give him a chance to kill them so Legion-5 couldn’t do anything to them. That meant that they couldn’t do anything to Legion-5 either. Not with three Supreme Powers to use together.
But they didn’t give up. They didn’t give up when he used cosmic force to bully them like some world god. They are not going to give up now that he is using and maintaining three Supreme Powers to bully them again. They have to get to the bottom of his secrets.
So the fight continued for days and weeks and finally reached four months. In that time, the fight had drew the attention of more Origin gods, so the barricade has increased instead of decreasing.
The number of Origin gods surrounding the clones has become so large that the clones can’t be seen through the barricade at all. Some Origin gods just loiter about waiting for their chance to have a go at them.
They also use that time to chat amongst themselves.
“How can someone be this strong? Even the might of ten million Origin gods can’t bring them down.”
The sight is truly mind-boggling. It caused the emotion of incredulity to appear in the minds of the ones besieging Legion and the bystanders.
A Supreme Origin god said in awe, “Domains don’t work on them. Seals can’t seal them. Strength can’t subdue them. What can we do to get their secret?”
Another one provided an answer, “The tool provided by the Supreme Alliance can work on them. I have tried it. It can indeed steal someone’s power. But it can only work on those without Supreme Laws.”
The Supreme Origin became suspicious. He said, “I don’t think we can trust the Supreme Alliance. Who is to say they will give us Legion’s secrets after we capture him?”
The Supreme Origin god that answered earlier said in exasperation, “We don’t have a choice. No Supreme Law can overwhelm Legion, and they don’t even have a Supreme Law yet. Imagine that. It is just too much to give up.”
“Three Supreme Powers and no Supreme Law yet. What else will they enhance when they have a Supreme Law?”
Some immortals haven’t joined the siege at all. All they have done for the past five months is watch the fight. These bystanders have seen the clones escape from seals to each other by teleportation. Any attempt to seal the space around them and capture them has always been futile.
Then the clones will separate and continue fighting. It seems to them that there is nothing they can do against the clones, but no one is going to give up on hunting Legion.
What they have seen them display is such that no immortal in their right mind wants to pass it over. This is not a matter of strength. They may not be strong enough to subdue Legion, but until they lose more than some Origin essence and soul stones for resurrection, they are not going to give up on chasing the clones.
So they are only taking a breather. All the bystanders have an understanding not to give up. They will continue pressuring Legion until they give up the secret to their strength. They will follow him and the clones everywhere and take turns fighting them if they have to.
Legion knows about the resolution of the Origin gods to get them. But they are out of options to make the Origin gods lose more than Origin essence and soul stones.
The best they can do to achieve that is use Chaos energy to teach them a lesson, but he can’t use that kind of energy in the High Heaven Realm. It will cost Legion far more than they could gain from it.
They can also use Chaos energy in the void, but being in the void right now is a bad idea because of world gods.
Getting captured by a world god will turn this bad situation they are in into the worst possible scenario. That is a certainty and they are also certain that there are world gods in the void waiting for them. Only in the realm tree can they be safe from world gods.
