Legion-7 agreed. "If Legion-1, Aeternus, and Legion-9 failed on their own, then the odds of you succeeding by combining their attempts should be high."
Aeternus was still pessimistic, "Even if works, you will only be a match for Supre Origin gods at best. You will still need a world seed to beco a world god."
Legion-7 also added, "I can help you fuse everything but even If it succeeds, what you will have is a substitute for a supre law. You will still need a world. So a world seed or world engine is still important. It will not be easy to fuse with a world seed without being an Origin god so Aeternus is sowhat right."
They went back and forth sharing and engaging in ideas on how to beco a world god without a supre law. It is sothing that has never been done before so there is no certainty that it will work. It might be a waste of ti to achieve it but Legion is looking forward to it. Even Aeternus took ti out of baiting demon kings into his abyssal plane to hash out the specifics of Legion-5's plan.
Legion-5's divine ability is a mutation of the original divine ability of Supre Beasts. The Supre beast calls their divine ability the Power Thief. It is an upgrade of their ancient days when they used to steal trinkets and identities. They are not Shapiros anymore. They steal power.
But he is not a normal Supre beast either. He can assimilate anything non-living and not just seeds of power. That's why he has taken to calling his divine ability Domination. It aims to make use of it to dominate the paths of power to lead him to greatness.
They might fail, but they are willing to try. No matter the outco, Legion-5 will still beco an extraordinary world god even if he ends up needing to upgrade his concept into a supre law. It will be a supre law like no other and might pave the way for the unity of the worlds of Legion.
Their discussion didn't stop even when they received visitors. He didn't et with the rchant group when Lafiti ca. The transcendent dropped off the resources and left. Lafiti isn't important enough for him to et and he also didn't et with the envoys and diplomats of the various empires in the plane that ca to see him.
Legion-7 said in pity, "Poor fools. They are trying to curry favor with us."
"They are too late. I have taken paynt from my brethren to stay out of the competition. I cannot go back on my word like that. I am too honorable."
The Supre Beasts were not the only ones who paid attention to the plane-wide extortion. The inhabitants of the plane also watched so they saw the power that he displayed and how he got away with extorting other Supre Beasts.
It is clear to them who the top dog of the Supre Beasts is so they all ca to appeal to him for their freedom. They want him to make them citizens. He surely has a lot of points to take that kind of action.
Unfortunately for them, he has no intention of eting with anyone including the Popes of the churches that ca to see him. Even their gods won't be able to arrange a eting with him.
It wasn't until he saw the staff of a pope that he changed his mind. His eyes lit up imdiately.
"Now that I think about it, I think it is too disrespectful if I don't show my face when I reject them. It is the least that the honorable pope of a church deserves."
Legion-7 snickered. "You are truly honorable."
It is not because of honor that he didn't et with the first batch of visitors and it certainly isn't because of respect that he is eting with this pope. Several popes have co before this one but he didn't et them. The difference this ti is that this pope has a shiny staff in her pretty hands.
So Legion-5 left the core of the base to et this pope. He didn't let her into his base though. He hasn't let anyone in apart from his soldiers. Just because she has sothing he wants doesn't an he will give her any sort of hospitality. She remained outside after being inford that he would et with her.
He didn't spend up to a minute to co out and that's only because he had to execute so security protocols to open the nurous doors that lead out. So he ca out very quickly which surprised her. He could have spent a day to see her while she remained outside waiting and she wouldn't complain. She was raised never to offend Supre Beasts and gods so she was willing to wait patiently.
She bowed slightly in greeting when she saw Legion-5 co out of the base.
"Supre one. I am Karhenki from the Church of Light and Justice. I have co on behalf of my god the Celestial of light and justice to extend an olive branch to you in hopes that…"
She was talking when she felt the world change around her. She saw the world grab her through her divine sense. She raised her staff to resist only to be found wanting. The hand ford out of world power didn't attack her. It grabbed the staff and took it from her.
Legion-5 wasn't willing to hear her speak before taking action. He didn't plan to ask for the staff either. He wanted it so he took it. Then he tuned her out and focused his attention on the staff.
This staff is the supre artifact of the church. It is the highest honor bestowed by the Celestial of Light and justice to the pope. It is an item that represents the legitimacy of the papacy. Whoever has it is the true pope. Whoever doesn't isn't. To grab it like that is utter blasphemy. But the pope didn't get angry.
