Chapter 1720: Daring And Fun.
Legion-5 said, "The spiritual dimension is as drab as ever. It looks like a graveyard if the graveyard also eats people."
Legion-4 joined in, "Or if the graveyard is the entire world."
Legion-7 agreed, "That would be bad. This place is just so suffocating, listless, and boring. The whole world cannot become something like this."
Legion-5 pointed to the black hole. "The only interesting thing here ever since the great mother died are these unconscious Origin gods."
Legion-3 finally took time away from running and joined the discussion. "Do you think we can eat it."
Legion-4 replied, "I don't think so."
Aeternus insisted, "There's only one way to find out."
Legion-5 agreed, "Let me give it a shot. There's nothing to lose."
Legion-2 warned them, "That's wrong. There's nothing we are aware of that we can lose. There can be a lot we can lose by trying to kill an Origin god permanently. We can be banished from the law matrix if we do."
Aeternus asked, "What if we succeed?"
Soverick replied after thinking about it for a while, "Either we break a rule of the void universe and are rewarded for it or we are punished severely for the atrocity."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Legion-1 added, "This sounds like a gamble. I'm in."
Aeternus was also full of anticipation. He said, "All in favor?"
Soverick said in suggestion, "How about we try Chaos energy and see how it reacts to it?"
"Hmm. That could be an interesting experiment."
Aeternus called out, "All in favor?"
Eight of them voted in favor of toying with the void universe using a stick made out of chaos energy immediately after they were explicitly punished for messing with the void universe. The remaining one voted against it because he had to be the reasonable one.
With that sorted out, Aeternus immediately crossed the barrier between the void universe and the spiritual dimension. He used Soverick's eyes to spot a black hole and approached it. Then The handed over the realm fragments in his possession.
He said to the others, including Legion-5, who was watching within Legion-7, "Here goes. Wish me luck."
He went all out. He submerged the black hole in Chaos energy. Chaos energy ripped apart the horizon, and the soul fragments caught in it. Then it bashed against the shattered Origin god.
Nothing happened after that. They waited with baited breath, but nothing happened. They didn't give up, though. Aeternus continued waiting for weeks, which turned into months and then years.
He spent 12 years waiting and looking for any change. When it finally happened, all of Legion cheered.
Aeternus pointed out, "There is indeed a change."
The shattered fragments had stopped growing after their supply of soul fragments was cut off. But it had also shrunk. The difference was so small that it took them 12 years to notice it.
Legion-1 said to everyone. "This is good news and bad news. It is good news because Chaos energy can kill Origin gods permanently. At this rate, it might take an Origin cycle, but it is possible. That is good, but..."
Soverick finished for him, "It is bad news because it can also kill us if we lose control of it."
This is a fear that they haven't been able to let go ever since the first sage whooped their ass. It wasn't the first time either. The True Law of Order had left them hanging when Legion-5 and Legion-7 were trying to become Origin gods. The first sage's situation only served to drive home the lesson that the Supreme Laws of others cannot be trusted or relied upon.
