GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

That explanation didn't ease Legion-7's pain though. He still grumbled, "If this was going to happen maybe I shouldn't have united with him. Maybe I should have let CARNAGE have him."

Legion-5 chuckled. He knows that Legion-7 doesn't mean what he said. If the priority was avoiding pain, then letting CARNAGE have Ragnarok would be far worse than the pain he is feeling right now. In fact, all of Legion would feel that pain, and they may never cback from it.

Ragnarok's smug laughter rang in their minds immediately. "Turns out that I beat you two cheaters to immortality. You might have beca Sovereign of law first but only those that are truly worthy get to becOrigin gods."

He was already a Sovereign when Legion-7 saved him from the clutches of CARNAGE's evil hands. He also already had an Origin essence given to him when his soul was split from Legion-1 so he had met all the requirements to becimmortal.

He went through with the breakthrough to ease the pressure on Legion-1. The Vampires have been perfected and are immortal. They also outnumber Legion-1. Legion-1 could survive this long because of his two concepts but he can't do anything else.

Legion-7 said to Legion-5, "We have to becOrigin gods as soon as possible. The independent resurrection system is useless if I don't becimmortal too."

It turns out that Legion-7 can't continue to store and control the psychic engram of the clones once they becimmortal. They may be a part of him but they also becpart of the void universe when they becOrigin gods.

The void universe is much stronger than him so it easily robbed him of his control of the immortal clones. This is the second tit has happened. It happened with Soverick when he becan Origin god to increase the power of his eyes.

It is not exactly a bad thing since the clones will still be able to resurrect thanks to the assistance of the void universe. Their resurrection will just be much slower and more resource-intensive than his.

Legion-5 replied, "I am looking forward to it too but we can't get away now. We are surrounded by Origin gods."

"I know and I don't like it."

"I don't like it either but we still have to be patient until the opportunity to escape appears."

Legion-5 knows just how hurtful losing control of Ragnarok's psychic engram to the law matrix is to Legion-7. He too felt the powerful invasion of the void universe into his inner world and how it severed parts of his existence. But there is nothing they can do about it for now.

He too has met all the requirements to becimmortal. He has fused all his divine abilities and slots into one. But a young Suprbeast like him should not becan Origin god after 10,000 years of living. He can't wait for the 5 Origin cycles that it will becacceptable for him to becimmortal so he can only plot his escape.

A box was brought to their cabin while they were plotting. The robot carrying the box was given permission to enter the room so it brought the box to them. Then it left after unlocking the box.

Legion-5 removed the bonds from the inhabitant of the box and did nothing else. So the master and slave stared at each other. They didn't say anything for a long while so the cabin was silent.

Jarkon broke the silence with a question. He asked, "What do you want from me?"

Legion-5 replied, "You will see soon."

The silence continued for a few more minutes. Jarkon received a call while they waited. It was from Salvini.

She ordered him as soon as he accepted the communication request.

"Letspeak to him. Projectto him with your mind."

He sighed but he obeyed. His divine sense formed into the phantom of a white battle sage monkey. She was a phantom but her eyes were vivid and clear. They were constantly switching colors as she stared at Legion-5.

Salvini said to him, "We meet again."

Legion-5 finally spoke. "Who are you?"

She replied confidently, "You know who I am."

He wasn't moved. Instead, his tone becstern and he threatened calmly. "Identify yourself or I will cut this communication short."

She sighed but obliged, "I am Salvini of the bloodline of the first sage of the Virut plane. I am also the current child of the Virut plane."

"I see."

"Why don't you reciprocate in kind?" She asked. "I would appreciate it if I know who I am speaking to."

"I am not sorry to disappoint you. But you will not have that honor."

She didn't get angry. She stated confidently, "I already know who you are."

"Is that so?" he asked with unconcealed boredom. "Then why did you ask?"

She didn't let that discourage her. "I know you are Legion."

"What is this Legion you speak of?" he asked with interest.

This is the first tthat he has shown interest in anything she has to say. It is obvious from his reaction that he has never heard of this "Legion" and he is intrigued by it.

He said with sincerity, "I am afraid you are mistaken young lady. I am no husk. I am me. And who is this Soverick? Should I know him or her?"

Salvini allowed herself to chuckle. "Your acting is not bad but it can't fool me. I know that I am not mistaken. I am certain of my conjecture. At first, I thought Legion was a group of like-

minded individuals. But I am sure it is a type of parasite now. You invade people and make them do your bidding. The events of the Gattling plane are proof of my conjecture."

"Such imagination in one so young. You will make a good storyteller." He said in amazement.
