Chapter 1668: Another Offer.
Legion-1 said, "It looks like we couldn't avoid calamity after all."
Legion-7 groaned and complained, "This is even bigger than we expected."
The force that locked onto them did not lock onto just one clone. It found all of them, including Legion-7, who was residing in their consciousness. Even Legion-5, who is currently in the Spiritual Dimension, didn't escape their grasp.
The entity didn't attack them. In fact, they can't see it at all. But they know the entity is close to them and powerful. They waited anxiously for the entity to finally make a move. It did so in the most unexpected way. It chose to connect to their minds to communicate with them, and it sent nine messages to each of them.
They were frowning as one would when they were about to be robbed when the message finally reached them. The message created a channel of information between them and the entity that found them. This entity sent over a piece of their will to speak with them.R/ê/Ad lateSt ch/a/pters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o//m Only
The Will condensed into an apparition in the minds of the clones. This apparition was dark and ghostly. But it had tiny stars twinkling within its form and a large, shining eye on its face. The entity said, "Legion, I need your help."
They had relaxed when they recognized the entity, but then they tensed up again when they heard what she said.
They asked, "What do you need our help with, Mother High Heaven?"
Legion asked to be sure about what they just heard, "What did you say?"
She answered with slight agitation, "You heard me. Don't waste time with redundant questions."
"I am afraid we have to. How do you expect us to help you deal with Monarch High Heaven."
Mother High Heaven explained patiently, "I want you to follow the connection I am using to speak to you right now with your Spirit clone. You don't need to do much. All you need to do is stall someone else for me while I fight with the realm lord personally."
"If you do this for me, I will assist you in as many realm wars as you want. That is, if I don't succeed in eliminating him completely. But if I can subdue or capture him, you won't lose out."
Legion's whole existence tingled. It was not a tingling sensation of excitement. It was a tingling sensation of fear and danger. They felt unprecedented danger from the thought of making contact with the realm lord with their minds and overwhelming fear from thinking about fighting against him right now.
They don't even need Soverick's eyes. Their normal intuition of danger and common sense is enough for them to feel overwhelmed with fear by the idea of it that they want to create a large distance between them and anything related to it. After all, they just met the realm lord and can attest to his strength.
They are greedy, and the reward for this request is immense, but the danger is too great. They might have agreed if they didn't know he had comprehended all 33 laws of the void universe. They might have agreed if they didn't know he could produce Authority. But they know he has done all of those, including the creation of 10 billion world fragments and many more.
As if the danger of the realm lord isn't enough, the realm lord will also have a helper. They are just to stall the helper, but that hasn't made their situation less dangerous. Anyone who can help the realm lord with anything must be at the world god level.
Legion-7 said, "This is literally asking for our death."
