GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1169 A Lesson Learned.

?1169 A Lesson Learned.

Ragnarok has escaped from the demon god but his fate is still sealed since he can't leave the plane. So they want to have a copy of his ability. Ragnarok's death won't affect them much in that case. They already have the information they need to know about how Paragons acquire and use POWER, how supreme laws work, and how dangerous demon gods are.

Their advice is good to follow since he is not like Legion-8 who has an ancestor to emulate. In a way, Legion-8 did not randomly change his divine ability, he is just making it more similar to his ancestor's.

So he turned his attention towards Ragnarok to get more detailed information about his divine ability. It is important to do because Ragnarok had just become a transcendent. His divine ability has evolved after consuming the heart of Carnage. It is different from the one he was born with.

"Now which one should I emulate? The old Warrog Omega divine ability or the new Warrog Hybrid divine ability?"

Ragnarok had just fought some Origin gods after fighting a Vampire Primogenitor and is currently on his way to release the ghouls. He had a lot on his mind but he still gave Legion-5 some advice. "Use the old one. You will need to add at least two laws to your divine ability if you want to copy the new one. Even then it might not work because you don't have a heart of Carnage."

Legion-5 considered the advice silently before deciding to take it. It will be dangerous to work with just the law of devour. Adding the law of blood to his divine ability will increase the risk exponentially. It will increase the number of laws in his concept from 7 to 9 which is scary. Even kings of law die when they work with too many laws when they want to become titans of law.

"If I want more then I will add it when I become a titan of law. I'm only greedy, not suicidal."

The other clones didn't bother to correct him on that last part. Being greedy and suicidal are not mutually exclusive and Ragnarok has shown just how far they are willing to go for their greediness. Besides, if he wasn't suicidal, he wouldn't attempt something that can leave him crippled or worse, kill him.

Legion-5 was hopeful about his attempt but the other clones didn't think it would actually work. This is an unprecedented situation after all. Mutation in unborn offsprings is rare to begin with. No one has documented the effect of the possession of Origin essence in unborn offspring. So no one could anticipate what cosmic energy could do to a gestating entity.

What they do know is that they have not been able to move or control cosmic energy. It had always done what it wanted in the absence of a Supreme law to give it direction. So the other clones were not disappointed when Legion-5's attempt to add a law failed.

Nothing changed no matter how much he used soul force to control the law fragments of devour to try and add them to his divine ability. Cosmic energy refused to move and his divine ability refused to take the initiative to accept the new law matrix.

Legion-5 was disappointed beyond words could describe.

He barely heard the tree father's suggestion, "Why don't you try to use Origin energy to stimulate your divine ability?"

He perked up with that suggestion and tried it immediately. He drew Origin energy from Soverick through the soul sphere and into the core in his body. His divine ability accepted the Origin energy and it activated immediately.

Legion-5 roared in pain. "This hurts. It hurts so much."

"I guess it is a bad idea to try and use Origin energy before you become a transcendent."

"It is especially bad if you use it with an undeveloped body still in the egg."

"That's a lesson learned I guess."

Legion-5 roared at them, "Stop chatting about it and help me!"

His divine ability didn't accept the fragments of the law of devour because he gave it Origin energy. It instead it tried to activate but it was too weak and his body was undeveloped so it was injured instead.

His injury healed when the tree father gave him divine life energy. His pain also disappeared. He noticed that his body had become stronger but he wasn't in the mood to appreciate that development.

"I failed again."

Soverick gave him a new suggestion, "You should use Origin energy and soul force together. Use Origin energy to activate your divine ability and use soul force to force it to fuse with the law fragments."

"That could work. Soul force can control law fragments while Origin energy can activate the divine ability." The sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.nᴇt

"It will be painful but you can heal your injuries if you fail."

"What if I injure my divine ability?" He asked with slight annoyance.

He is certain that the suggestion will lead to pain and it might lead to more than that. Divine life energy can't heal his divine ability if it gets injured because his divine ability is not only flesh and blood, it contains law fragments which nothing can heal.

But Soverick brushed his concerns aside, "So what if you injure your divine ability? You are already aware and prepared for this risk. It is nothing new."

"Do it. You have already gone this far. Might as well see it to the end."

Actually, he is not enthusiastic about changing his divine ability anymore but the clones won't allow him to stop now. He must finish what he started or die trying.

"What supportive clones I have." He said with sarcasm as he tried the new suggestion.

He was gripped by pain immediately. His undeveloped body spasmed involuntarily because of the pain. But he continued to direct Origin energy into his divine ability while simultaneously controlling the law fragments of devour from the law matrix to approach his activated divine ability.
