They can't even use the imnse power they have in this strange state because they don't have a supre law. Their Will couldn't be manifested but they felt an overwhelming and powerful Will around them that could help them.
They know this with certainty due to the connection they have with this Will in their strange state. So they tried to grab onto the Will but they didn't have the necessary tools to hang on.
They said to the Will, "HELP US."
They pleaded for help but the Will of the Universe didn't help them. It could easily help them if it wanted but it did the opposite. It lashed at them and yanked them back to the world of manifestation.
All of Legion heard the intent of the Will of the void universe. It said to them, "You are not welco here."
It spoke in a language that both the normal clones and the scrambled clones could understand.
The scrambled clones said before they left, "WE DON'T NEED YOUR WELCO!!!"
They actually did. They didn't get it so they failed to ascend. The fused shards of power seperated so Legion-5 and Legion-7 separated again. The removal of their strange state also unscrambled their minds.
The two didn't feel any different. They even asked, "What happened?"
All the clones slumped wherever they were. They were both relieved and tired. The harrowing experience lasted for a total of eleven seconds. It felt like 11 years to the clones but it only felt like an instant of unconsciousness to the two of them.
The restoration of the connection of their minds allowed the two of them to experience what Legion had just gone through. Their minds cleared up imdiately. It was like cold water was poured over a hot tal. They realized that they had almost lost themselves at that point.
"That was unexpected." They both said at the sa ti. "We almost died."
Their thoughts were synched for a short ti in their strange state but so of its effects remained even after it was gone. It will disappear in ti but for a while, their train of thought will be incredibly similar.
The clones had a lot to say. "Yes, it was unexpected."
Soverick mulled over the mories of their experience. He said to them, "What is that state?"
"I don't know. It was strange. They had the power of a Celestial at so point and the power of a demon at so other point."
As an entity with the power of gods, demons, and Origin gods, they ought to be able to recognize every type of power they encounter but can't pinpoint what kind of state the two of them experienced.
"It felt like raw power. It could do anything and it was very powerful. It was almost at the level of Supre Origin gods or maybe at that level."
Legion-7 lanted, "It was that powerful? I think we missed out."
"I don't think you were lucky at all. You were going to die."
"You two couldn't control that kind of power at all. You were more likely to tear yourself apart."
"So the will of the universe did us a favor?"
"Not exactly. It is more like it felt threatened and didn't want to share its power."
"That might be true. You two were drawing upon the power of the order in that strange state."
"It was dangerous but it confirms that complete Unity is possible and very powerful." Legion-1 said.
"The fusion of the shards is also possible."
"And the necessary state needed to use utilize them at their fullest potential was also discovered."
"But do we really want to recreate the necessary state for it? The third ti might be the one that kills us."
"It is inevitable at this point. We have all the necessary parts and they will fuse when we achieve Unity."
"I think we must prepare for this outco when we build the world fragnt and when we try to beco world gods."
The brief ascension had enlightened them because they experienced a state of existence that was beyond them. They know now that power is power regardless of the forms it cos.
It was as if there was a similarity between the path of divinity, the path of perfection, and the path of demons. This similarity is the foundation of power. It was what enabled them to change between being a god and a demon. Unfortunately, they don't know what exactly that similarity is.
What they did learn is how to bring out the full potential of the shard of power. They know now that the fusion of divine energy, Chaos energy, and divinity of order is all they need to recreate that special state.
Soverick said with certainty, "This has been enlightening. I should learn to trust myself more. After all, I was right to think that the Will of the void universe would appear."
Legion-7 interrupted him, "Now don't start bragging. You thought we would fail and we didn't."
The Tree Father piled on the bla, "You also thought that they wouldn't die. But not only did the attempt almost get them killed, they almost killed us too."
Soverick maintained his sense of superiority. He said proudly, "I was still right. They didn't die and neither did we. If anything, I would say that I did more work in this than anybody else so I think that success wouldn't have happened without ."
Legion-7 ignored him and continued, "Not only didn't we fail, we even discovered that If we can recreate controllable conditions similar to the conditions that led to the creation of the shard of power then it is possible to bring out the full potential of the shards of power."
Legion-5 added in full support, "Speaking of bringing out the full potential of the shards of power. We should be able to help with that."
That drew all their attention to his inner world. Soverick fused his eyes to gaze upon. His gaze pierced through the barrier around the ancient battlefield, the barrier of the Stellaris plane, and focused on them. He found them quickly and began inspecting their inner world.
----
A/N: Soverick was right though.
