In a way, he has the easiest job among the clones. His current action is an easy thod of mining contributions for Legion. If not for the fact that he is also acting as bait, then his job would be too easy.
His performance as bait was too good, so the prey, thinking themselves to be predators, decided to take a bite out of him. Light and darkness rippled sowhere behind him. It was a black curtain that was removed to reveal what lay beneath. What was hidden beca exposed, revealing four entities.
One of the entities could only be described as a brute. It is a giant of a being covered in spiked armor. They also have a single horn on their head.
Two other figures appeared to be non-descript. They had no face, lips, ears, or nose. They were smooth and featureless all over. When combined with their humanoid form and white complexion, their identity was exposed at a glance.
The fourth and last person is invisible. But Legion-8 could see her. She is a red-furred battle sage monkey. She is the sa red-furred battle sage monkey that Soverick spoke to earlier in the previous Virut plane. Her presence here surprised Legion a little bit, but they are nothing if not adaptable.
Legion-8 said to them, "This is quite the sight. Three Supre Beasts and one battle sage monkey. What are you doing here? I have no enmity with any one of you. We are supposed to be allies here. We co from the sa realm."
They didn't approach him rashly. They stood far away from him while communicating with him.
The female battle sage monkey said to him, "We et again."
Legion-8 asked, "Do I know you?"
She chuckled. "Yes, you do. I t with one of your clones a little while ago."
"I have no recollection of this event. You are a complete and total stranger to ." He lied.
"Don't bother to lie to us. I never forget a soul that I have t before. Besides, you have at least two consciousnesses in you right now. You are the only one that I have t who does. Not even Gemini twins do."
Legion-8 chuckled and said, "I think you've gotten the wrong person. I don't have two consciousnesses. I might have schizophrenia and multiple personalities, but I don't have two separate consciousnesses."
"You do," she insisted.
"I don't." He insisted.
"Doesn't he?" She asked one of the two Supre Beasts.
This Supre beast agreed with her. "He does have two consciousnesses, so he must be Legion, the one that cheated the Supre Alliance."
"I don't have two consciousnesses." Legion-8 continued to deny it.
He has nothing to gain by admitting it, so he will deny it. Besides, it is unlikely that sothing good will co out of telling the truth to four people who have kept themselves hidden and have been following him since they joined the line outside the realm tree.
One of the Supre Beasts said calmly, "There's no need to hide your identity. We already know who you are, and we are not here to fight. We just want to talk."
He told them dismissively, "Say whatever you want to say. It is my choice to listen or not."
"We don't care about your enmity with the Supre Alliance. What we care about is the secret of so of the uniqueness you have shown. We want to know how to beco world gods without any Supre Law."
Litori's ancestor also chid in. "And I want to know how to have more than one consciousness in a body."
Legion-8 asked, "How did you find ?"
Legion is especially interested in this fact because it has been difficult to track them ever since Aeternus joined with Legion-unity. Their soul fluctuations have been scrambled by Chaos energy, and it has made divination or scrying almost impossible. But she was able to pinpoint them with certainty and follow them.
She replied. "You are the only being I have ever t with more than one consciousness. I can't mistake that anywhere. It is my special ability. You stand out in a crowd because of it. Your state of existence is that unique."
Legion-8 asked her, "Is that so? How co you are working with the Supre Alliance? Aren't you a battle sage monkey? You should be working for the racial council."
She laughed. "I was looking for you, but then I noticed that they were also looking for you, so I proposed that we join forces."
Legion-8 didn't believe her, but he couldn't confirm the truth because sothing was blocking his vision of her past right now. It appeared to him that she was prepared for this. He is also prepared, so he doesn't feel pressured.
The Supre Beast urged him. "We won't take your secrets for nothing. We are willing to pay you well for it. You will get a world seed and a world engine from us."
Legion-8 considered the proposal. "That sounds good, but you might be wasting your ti. If I had the secret to beco a world god without a Supre Law, would I be here slumming for contributions in the era of conquest?"
"Yes, you could still be here. You can do anything you want, and that includes working for contributions when you can be a world god on your own. Besides, working for contribution doesn't an you still won't use the secret. You are just working to acquire the realm heart fragnts that you need."
Legion-8 admitted, "You make so sense."
"We don't want to play around. Swear to us that you don't have the secret we want, and we will leave imdiately. We will stop troubling you too."
He asked suspiciously, "Really? What about the Supre Alliance?"
"We are not here on behalf of the Supre Alliance. This venture is a private one, but I am sure the Supre Alliance or any Supre Beasts won't co after you after you've sworn that you don't know the thod to beco a world god without a Supre Law."
