Chapter 1403 The Darkness.
For a moment there, they lost their identity. Legion-5 for sure forgot why he was in the void and what he was doing in the middle of a lightning storm. He was confused but only for an instant. The other clones helped him with his identity and purpose. Then Legion-7 restored his fragmented consciousness.
Legion-5 jested, "I think the void universe wants to kill us."
He is joking to mask the pain. Despite reaching what he thought was the limit of pain, they still felt more pain because of the last attack.
Pain is the psychological response to damage to existence. It helps to determine a phenomenon that can threaten one's existence. That violet lightning is a threat to their existence hence the pain.
He might have joked about it but Legion is certain that the void universe wants to kill them. It has not been up to a minute but they have already been pushed to the closest point of death that they have ever reached since they reincarnated.
Not only did the lightning change color, but even the whirlpool around them also changed from black to red. The storm formed into a red cage charged with power. By the looks of things, the void universe does want to kill them.
More and more of the special violet lightning was created around them in the red whirlpool of a storm. Then they were discharged suddenly.Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)
All of the lightning managed to find their way to Legion-5's body. So his body was turned into perforated cheese very quickly.
It happened so fast. Most of their body was lost in seconds. Their arms and legs have turned to dust. Part of their head and most of their torso are gone too.
The physical injury cannot compare to the injury of the soul. Their consciousness despite having two of it was tethering on the edge of total collapse. Any more and they will die.
They activated the time reversal of the time worm's divine ability quickly. Their injuries regenerated instantly. It was as if time was being rewinded. The pain disappeared suddenly and they were whole again.
"That was close."
Their consciousness began producing a mental power capable of changing the world without the use of Origin energy. It was soul force and it is also capable of opening up a space within the law matrix where their will is supreme.
It was ironic that what the void universe feared didn't occur. Legion-7 didn't become a law eater because he couldn't eat the law fragments in the law matrix anymore.
The crown of Chaos rejected the law fragments and the divine ability of the law of order prevented him from devouring laws. So Legion-7 will need other sources of law fragments such as seeds of power. It doesn't affect him because it is already what he was doing before.
This development caused the void universe to ease off the lightning storm. They also increased in power immediately so the damage of the lightning to them reduced drastically.
Then cosmic energy entered their existence from Helios and their concept engorged freely on it. They reached the limit of the light side of the void universe immediately.
Two things happened simultaneously at that point. The void universe gave up on harassing them so the lightning tribulation stopped immediately.
The turbulent whirlpool suddenly lost its momentum and died down immediately. However, they didn't experience the sudden peace because their consciousness was somewhere else.
What they saw was darkness. It was pitch and total darkness. Their soul force couldn't extend out of their minds and they couldn't use a domain. They couldn't even move their bodies. They appeared to be trapped in their mind in this darkness.
They thought to themselves, "This must be the darkness that Soverick saw."
"At least we are not dead yet."
They looked around and saw something that made them recognize where they were immediately. There is nothing in this dark world except for 3 massive consciousnesses.
