Chapter 1632: Lying In Wait.



Legion-7 was unconvinced. He said, "This doesn't make sense. This shouldn't be happening, even if you are so strong. This is our mind, so we should be in control of it. You are just a world god. How can you overcome the protection of the void universe on Origin gods?"

The first sage said with disdain, "Of course it could happen. You took on my curse of your own violition. You can't back off now that it is time to pay the price."

Legion-1 sighed and said with dread, "The curse of the Supreme Alliance is truly powerful."

They remember that curse that Soverick allowed to reach Legion-7. They had thought that the death of Salvini was the bait, but they found out that they were wrong. It was the temptation to hurt the Supreme Alliance that was the bait. It was all to allow the curse to enter their minds.

It turns out that the events of the illusion were not only to get information out of them. It was also to doom them to having a tenth clone that they couldn't get rid of. Legion felt dread just thinking about what else was in store for them, but the first Sage was full of joy.

He roared happily and declared, "Hear me, hear me. My Will is supreme, and I don't want us to part ways yet, so we will not!"

This turn of events is not as simple as the first sage made it out to be. In the past, they had been entangled in the mental space of the first sage, and Legion-7 had been able to leave whenever they wanted. So it should have been easy for them to eject the first sage out of their own mental space. Unfortunately, things are not so right now.

That deepened his hook within Legion enough to hijack their minds. Then Soverick gave him the right opportunity when he used his future divination technique just after the era of conquest started.

He was able to use their comprehension and the addition of his Supreme Law into the technique to take it over. Then he dragged them into an illusion, where he succeeded in burying the hook further into their minds so that they wouldn't be able to escape even if they discovered that they were in an illusion.

That moment when Soverick allowed the curse to reach Legion-7 was the moment they gained a tenth clone, and they didn't even know it back then. They had searched their existence thoroughly, but they didn't find anything wrong. It was because they had already fallen into the trap a long time ago.

They know now, but it is too late. The tenth clone is not some external Influence on them anymore. It is a part of their mind. It is their knowledge of the first sage turned against them. It is that hook, which is their comprehension of the Supreme Law of the Eye of the Sage, and the curse that is keeping them from breaking their mental space. Legion-7 is erasing their soul imprints that contain comprehension of the Supreme Law of the Eye of the Sage right now. That's what's causing the mental space to shake and crack.

Such an act is detrimental to them and will certainly injure them. But the first sage is resisting strongly, so the soul imprints refused to be destroyed, even though they belong to Legion, not the first sage.

Legion-9 asked, "What do you want? You can't gain anything more from us. You are not the dragon king, so you can't remove our immortality. At best, you will injure our minds, but we will heal it easily."

The first sage shrugged. "Let's just say that I like being around you, and I would like to be around you for all of eternity. If you miss the era of conquest during that period of time, then it is icing on the already delicious cake for me."

Legion was frantic in this deadlock, not the first sage. They are frantic because the first sage has truly hit a sore spot. The era of conquest is going on without them. Meanwhile, they are in the void, floating about and having a mental discussion with a snake of a world god. It is not how they want to spend their time.
