GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The three consciousness exchanged a glance. They shared information among themselves quickly and they decided to say what must be said.

"Our job is done."

"He is gone."

"You can hunt him now."

"So leave us."

"We find your presence."

"Very irritating."

The fourth consciousness sneered. "Like I like being here either. I'll leave if you let me see how he created the singularity of power."

It can do it itself but it doesn't want to start going through the logs of events of the entire void universe. It has better things to do like protecting the universe unlike the three of them whose job is to watch for potential. They are practically voyeurs.

The three of them showed it how Legion did it reluctantly. It is not against the rules to show it and they didn't want to but they want it gone soon.

"It's all your fault. You gave him the soul connector. How could you not foresee this? You could have given him the soul copier or the soul formatter. That would have been enough. I am sure he would have appreciated it better because he wanted to have infinite bodies." He started accusing them as soon as he saw the records.

"The soul copier and soul formatter are too dangerous."

"He could create a multitude of clones with it."

"We couldn't allow that."

"So we gave him something weaker."

"There is an infinite number of."

"Combinations among the races."

"Who would have thought he would combine."

"A chaos entity, a divine entity, and an entity of order?"

"The chances are too low to be considered."

"Chaos entities are rare on their own."

"Who would have thought an origin soul."

"Can withstand chaos energy?"

"Then there is the uniqueness."

"Of entities of order."

"Entities of Order can't grow."

"And are usually killed early."

"Besides."

"It is impossible to stop."

"Those that have broken."

"A law of the universe before

"From breaking another one."

"If they did it before."

"They can do it again."

"It is not our fault."

The fourth consciousness refused to accept their explanations. He yelled angrily at them, "It is so your fault. The soul copier and formatter won't allow him to share energy or power with his clones. They might even create a different Origin and turn against him. No, they would certainly have turned against them. There's no way to control so many clones on his own. That would have surely ended this problem at the root of the matter."

The soul copier is a universal treasure that will enable one to create copies of one's soul. It will print new souls with the memories and consciousness of the original. The souls can be reincarnated just like the clones of Legion did. The soul formatter on the other hand will format the soul of a living person into that of Legion.

The two universal treasures would have allowed Legion to create as many clones as he wants. He would not have been limited to just a total of 9. But the clones would also not be connected like the clones of Legion are. It is this connection of the same origin that allows the clones to share energy and thoughts. It also made it possible for Chaos energy and Origin energy to fuse. Without that connection, this entire disaster could have been averted. In fact, Legion would have been too preoccupied with the rebellion and betrayal of his clones to get into more trouble.

"If we did that."

"Then he could break."

"The limit of the universe."

"And find a way to."

"Control an uncountable."

"Amount of clones."

"The universe will be overrun."

"We would have."

"Created a disaster."

"We sought to."

"Limit the amount."

"Of clones he had."

"We deemed it."

"A better option."

The fourth consciousness did not agree. "No, he won't be able to gain control of all of them. It is impossible."

They began to argue. The fourth consciousness refused to accept their explanation. It maintained that controlling an infinite number of clones is impossible. That will need a mind as large as the universe itself.

The three consciousness don't agree with his assessment. Anything can happen just like a simple Origin god can threaten the universe. They even showed him evidence of possible combinations that can achieve it. The fourth consciousness was not convinced. But they want this to end so they gave up.

"At least,"

"Now we know for sure."

"That he cannot."

"Create more trouble."

"He cannot break."

"A greater law of the universe."

"He has acquired POWER."

"POWER is the limit."

"Of the VOID UNIVERSE."

The fourth consciousness agreed for once. He said, "That's for sure. What else is greater than POWER? You also gave him a piece of the origin flames."

The three consciousness sighed in relief that the fourth consciousness finally agreed with them.

"Don't be relaxed yet. It is not a good thing. I never said it was a good thing. We haven't seen the end of this. More trouble..." The fourth consciousness was talking when it suddenly paused.

It asked them. "Isn't one of his clones a dragon? Isn't it also an unborn dragon? Please tell me it is not a dragon still in its egg."

The three consciousness became silent but it didn't help. The fourth consciousness blew his top.

"You nincompoops. You do this every time. You give them rewards without considering the repercussions and I have to clean up your mess. It's just like that time you gave something inappropriate to the youngest vermin to become a realm lord and you were surprised that he broke another law of the universe."

He continued to rant while the three consciousness bore his criticism silently. The fourth consciousness has the right to be angry. They really dole out rewards without thinking about the consequences too much. It is in their nature just like it is in the fourth consciousness' nature to clean up that which would threaten the stability of the universe. If they were too careful then they would hamper the potential of the rule breakers and that is against their purpose.
