Chapter 1558: A Living Poison.



Legion used a mundane virus as the base material for the new Legion-8's body. This virus was incredibly virulent. It could kill infected victims quickly as it proliferated rapidly within them. But this prevented it from spreading itself to other hosts fast enough before its current host died.

The virus was genetically and magically engineered into a hive-like entity with a divine ability based on the law of poison. This made the virus sentient and improved its infectiousness.

Then the hive was fashioned into a single body with the help of the Tree Father and then combined spiritually with the soul fragment of an Origin god that Legion-7 had stripped from Legion-1.

The process was painful for Legion-1 because Legion-7 had to purge the soul fragment of his body and concept since he had completely become an Origin god.

If Legion-1 hadn't already fused with Legion-7 before the dragon clone, then the creation of another clone wouldn't have been possible at all since Legion-7 wouldn't have been able to intercept the free Origin channel that the dragon left with his death.

Even then, it was incredibly painful because the Supreme law of order didn't want it to happen. The law of order protects Origin gods but Legion-7 succeeded because the soul fragment is part of his body, he can engineer his soul imprints, and because Chaos energy will destroy anything it is directed to destroy.

So the process of creating the soul fragment was far more painful than the time Gehaldirah had to purge his body from his soul as a sovereign of law.

At the end of the day, he is a virus, not a poison. He is the source of sickness. The poison is just how he infects his host. The real problem begins when he starts using the energy of his host to proliferate. This leads to the rapid weakening of the host until it dies of lack of energy or the host becomes Legion-8 after being overwritten from within. Death is still the ending.

Legion-8 spread himself like an expanding blot or blemish in the world. This is his mission in the realm. It is the second point of action against the Tyrant Realm in their quest to make enough contribution in the era of conquest to gain the help of the realm lord.

Unlike the Tree Father, this is his true mission. This mission is very important if Legion wants to achieve that goal because there are a lot of special individuals participating in this era of conquest. They may keep some of their cards to their chest, but they have to play some of them to earn enough contribution points.

Legion-8's current mode of action is not unique. His divine ability is similar to the metal fire divine ability. The difference is that the metal fire is limited to the law of earth and can only act on earth in the plane.

He, on the other hand, can start spreading himself from any point in the realm. As long as there is existence, he is capable of infecting it. He can even infect the metal fire. Both the living and nonliving can't escape his infection.

He is a disease in the realm and a successful one at that, based on the fact that he received positive feedback from Mother High Heaven about his current actions through the mark she gave them.

Others would need to kill and destroy the living and nonliving things in the realm to weaken the Tyrant realm. He doesn't need to do that. That's Aeternus's and Helios' job. He is to reduce the size and power of the Tyrant realm by infecting it and converting it into himself.

A/N: Legion-8 the dragon is dead. He is gone. Legion-8 the virus is a new clone.
