Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1628: The Extra Helper.
The reason they felt a sense of strangeness and déjà vu when they entered this place was because they had actually been here before. This place felt like the space of the realm heart of the High Heaven realm that they experienced before because it was the space of the realm heart of the High Heaven realm.
They were stunned and shaken.
Legion-8 asked in disbelief, “How could this be? Did we travel back to the past?”
Legion-7 scoffed, “That is not possible. There was no era of conquest in the past. It is more likely that the dragon’s clone fight with Mother High Heaven has not ended. Maybe everything we experienced since the dragon clone made contact with her was fake.”
That explanation despite how ridiculous it sounded was the most reasonable explanation they could come up with for why the space of the realm heart of the realm of high heaven is identical to the space of the realm heart of the Tyrant realm.
Soverick said with certainty, “It is unmistakable. We are in the same space. I wasn’t sure before because I didn’t experience it personally, and the dragon clone is dead. But his memory is clear, and it is clear that the two spaces have the same spatial undulations. It is uncanny.”
Even as he said all of these, he was trying to prove himself wrong by inspecting the timeline of events for everything that has happened to them recently. The history and Causality of the past flowed rapidly across his vision.
Every Legion helped, so he was even able to see the things that didn’t happen to them or that they didn’t witness, such as GREED’s meeting with the Supreme Tyrants and the demon gods of the Tyrant realm’s meeting with the demon god of the High Heaven Realm.
Almost everything that had happened in the era of conquest, including the things they hadn’t personally witnessed, appeared in their vision. What they saw showed a seamless and natural world. But it was all wrong.
There were some unnatural events that happened in things that were not related to them or the era of conquest. For example, an animal gave birth to a mutant offspring with two heads somewhere in the High Heaven Realm, but none of the mortals batted an eye. They all treated it as if it were normal.
A town froze and didn’t move for days on end. The inhabitants of the town only moved a few seconds every few weeks. They did so as if they were stuttering. Their movements came in jerks and glitches. But no one found this odd. Not even Mother High Heaven despite this situation occuring in a large area of both realms.
There were other oddities that were treated as normal by the people around them, and all of them didn’t have any relation to Legion or the era of conquest. The mortals ran according to a program that became clear after their lives were lived over a period of thousands of years. It was as if they were puppets on a string, living preordained lives that they never veered off, not
once.
Soverick said with certainty, “The element of randomness is dead. Entropy has been constant in everything aside from us and the era of conquest. The world around us has been constant without our knowing it. Only we and anything related to the era of conquest have been alive.”
His voice became grave, and his mind threatened to collapse under the strain of it all, but he continued with his train of thought. “I don’t know what is going on, but I do know that the law of Chaos is no longer functioning in this world. That means we are no longer in the void universe.”
As people who are very conversant with the laws of Order and Chaos, they can recognize that these two are absent in the world they are seeing. It is something they should have noticed for a long time, but it slipped their attention because they were focused on something else. They had been focused on the era of conquest. It was as if their attention was narrowed down to see only the era of conquest. Meanwhile, the world around them was a dead world feeding them lies.
They couldn’t believe that they had been fooled. They began to brainstorm about the situation. All their minds clashed and warred with each other.
Legion-1 asked solemnly, “Since when did this happen? Could it truly have been since the dragon clone? Is the dragon clone even dead? Did we defeat the dragon spirit at all? Is the dragon spirit responsible for this or Draco?”
Soverick replied, “I don’t know. All I can say is that it has been going on for a while. But from the looks of things, the whole era of conquest that we experienced might be fake.”
Aeternus was speechless, “How were we so blind to it? I can still feel the Chaos within me, but there truly is no Chaos in the world now that you have pointed it out. How didn’t I see such a glaring fact?”
Soverick replied, “I’m thinking. I’m thinking.”
The tenth clone advised, “I don’t think we should think about it.”
“Why?” Soverick asked.
The tenth clone replied, “Thinking too much is a bad idea. Let’s just go with the flow.”
The clones felt that it was a good idea. Legion-2 began, “You have always been wise. You might be the smartest one among us.”
The tenth clone chuckled and said modestly, “I am only doing my part for us to achieve perfection.”
Every clone felt that what he said was reasonable. But then Legion-1 asked, “Wait, who are you again?”
He knows this person, and this person is part of their mental network, so they must be a clone of Legion.
The tenth clone confirmed it, “Stop joking now. You know me, and we are of one mind.” Legion-1 was still not convinced. He asked, “Why have I never seen you before?”
A/N: Everyone needs help sometimes. Especially Legion with their very difficult goal of perfection.
