Chapter 1409 Bleed Them Dry.
One set of runes is white and is etched directly onto the armor while the other set is blackish purple and floats above the scales. Their wide jaws that split their face shared an identical grin that displayed their numerous black teeth.
If there is any physical difference between them, it is that the white halo of light atop their heads is not identical. One halo has one black sphere attached to it while the other halo has two black spheres.
The other difference is within them. If one can see within them, you will notice that even though they both have inner worlds, their inner worlds are different.
One inner world is ringed with a red crown and contains nothing visible. The other inner world has a landmass in it. On that landmass is a green elf, a battle sage monkey, a multicolored spiritual entity, and an elaborate construction. Beyond these differences, the two of them might as well be the same entities. Even their soul fluctuations are identical.
The two of them moved together as one. Legion-unity disappeared completely while Legion-1 opened his mouth wide towards the lake. A formless force enveloped a large proportion of the lake.
This force locked space within it. Then the frozen space began to contract. It shrunk and flew towards Legion-1's open mouth. This is world devour in action.
Legion-1 thought to himself as he stole a large portion of the lake, "If I am going to steal then I might as well steal a lot."
He could have taken a few of the stones but he didn't. That's just inefficient and he doesn't like wastage.
He was full of excitement but someone roared in anguish. It is as if they felt pained down to the foundation of their existence. The fighting hasn't even begun but the sight of what legion-1 has done damaged someone's mind and soul.
The person cried out, "This is too much."
Someone else screamed. "You're too greedy."
Next, they surrounded the lake on all sides as they watched it disappear down the mouth of the thief. Their eyes were burning with anger but they didn't let their emotions ruin their plans.
They formed a thick barrier with the manifestation of their concepts around the lake. A single Origin god made a dome of earth around the lake that is more than a kilometer thick. Another Origin god made a wall of fire and another added a wall of ice.
By all looks, they have captured the daring world beast. They became more relaxed and full of anticipation for when they would lay their hands on the thief.
"I hate world beasts so much. They are too troublesome to kill."
"Yeah. They have ridiculously strong bodies and high resistance to concepts."
"It doesn't matter. We are 20 and it is one."
They don't want to fight. So one of them said to Legion-1, "You can't run away world beast. We have you surrounded. Just accept defeat, return what you took, and make amends."
Legion-1 could try to escape but it is highly unlikely that he would succeed. So they believed that they had the right to ask for his surrender. They expected him to argue or at most resist. They didn't expect space to suddenly fluctuate within the space-locking array.
Someone yelled at him, "Give up. It is impossible to escape."
"Don't push us or we will turn your body into a top-grade artifact."
They went on guard immediately. They were expecting some sort of attack from the world beast. But then another world beast suddenly appeared.
