Chapter 1511 For Legion. For Perfection.
Legion-8 wasn't flustered by the sudden intrusion. He expected the dragon king or the dragon spirit to show up. This is because he has the bloodline of the dragon king at one point or the other.
For One he is still in the dragon plane so the dragon spirit can reach him. And as a being on the level of a world god or more, the dragon king's bloodline is more than enough connection to reach him. If Tssandulighafan can reach him through a mere imprint, then the entity who created the dragon race with his blood can surely do the same.
Even though he was prepared for his visit, Legion-8's heart sank when it happened. It is because his situation has become worse now that a world god has interfered.
His situation is not without hope, though. The influence of his bloodline is currently waning. His breakthrough to titan of law is causing the hold of the dragon king on him to reduce. Even if the influence is not completely eliminated because he used a copy of the dragon king's divine ability to create his concept, the hold will surely disappear when he becomes an Origin god. So he will become free from the dragon king in time.
This made him relax. He said calmly, "Thank you, ancestor."
The dragon king said, "I will get down to business. Submit or die."
Legion-8 asked, "Haven't we gone through this before?"
"That was before you knew that I was interested in you. The dragon spirit can't kill you, but I can. You should know a little about me, if you don't give me what I want, then I will smash you. I'm sure you have learned that much from stories about me. So what say you?"
Legion-8 answered without hesitation, "I choose death."
Legion-8 felt that longing within him as he rushed towards Legion-6. He has to rush towards Ragnarok because the second plan to achieve immortality has been botched. He can't become an Origin god in his current state. He can't even complete his concept.
If he is to save himself, then he must unify with Legion-7. He will have another chance to become an Origin god then. His concept will become available to Legion-unity then, and he will have fulfilled his purpose of pushing Legion towards perfection.
Maybe his death could have been avoided had he decided to unite with Legion-7 in the first place. But it is not too late. The smart thing to do now is reach Ragnarok and have him get into contact with Legion-7.
No one could approach Ragnarok as he is. He has the weakness of being slow. His concept is mostly stationary, so he is not capable of threatening Origin gods that run away from him. But any Origin god that approaches him will be devoured. Only Legion-8 could approach him.
Ragnarok is an Origin god now, so he has perfect control over his concept since he is his concept. He didn't want to harm Legion-8, so he didn't. So Legion-8 managed to get close to him. His multicolored dragon body was flaking away at every moment, but he managed to cover the distance quickly.
He had become a phantom of himself by the time he reached Ragnarok. He would die at any moment, but the two of them didn't touch each other and complete the unification.
They didn't do the smart thing. Instead, Legion-8 said his last words, "For Legion. For perfection."
Then he died. His phantom body broke apart on its own, and his existence was scattered to the wind. The only thing left behind was the concept he was building.
His dragon heart has become a seed of power now. It won't disappear, even if he dies. His shard of power and soul sphere returned to Legion-1. Legion sensed then that they could create another clone. It means Legion-8 is completely and truly dead.
Ragnarok took the multicolored dragon heart solemnly. He muttered, "For Legion. For perfection."
