GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1723: Affinity With Duality.



All the clones stopped talking to consider his words. They wanted to know what he had to say, but they also knew that they had a good reason to wipe out that memory in the first place.

This is another reason why Legion-7 has to be the reasonable one. He is the one who has most of their memories, so he is the one to prevent them from repeating mistakes and making mistakes that can be avoided due to their previous experience that they don't know about.

It is a move that they put in place to prevent another memory leak. Legion-7's spark of consciousness and his control of their world fragment put him in the best position to safeguard their minds. So far, it seems to be paying dividends.

Legion-1 first tried to confirm their suspicion. He asked, "Is this about the first sage's Supreme Law?"

"Yes."

"How bad is it?"

"Very bad. It will change how we see the world, so it is very bad."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The clones chewed on that answer for a while. They even stopped their experiments to consider it seriously.

They had learned a lot about the first sage when he invaded their minds. He got access to their memories, and they got access to his Supreme Law. Both access was not a good thing for them.

The access to his Supreme Law meant that he could have tried to overwrite their existence. At the very least, it deepened his hook into their existence. This happened because they learned more about his Supreme Law. They even learned his fake law.

It was why they decided to wipe out most of what they knew about his Supreme Law immediately they regained consciousness.

Aeternus asked, "There should have been conditions to recover the memories. What are they for this particular one?"

"It is his false law. We can only acquire the memory or the knowledge safely if we can steal it from him, like we did to CARNAGE's law of the blood."

Soverick nodded. "That makes sense. But the first sage is the equivalent of a world ender, not a demon god. And where are we going to find his Authority to steal?"

Even Ragnarok, who was eager to take a bite out of the first Sage, agreed. He said, "I mean, the first sage doesn't look like someone who likes creating races, and he certainly doesn't need to. Where are we going to find a creation of his that is at least at the Origin god level?" "Maybe we could have found one when high heaven was still around, but certainly not now." Legion-9 shook his head. "It is too much of a long shot and too dangerous. I would rather hunt the creation of another world god, not that of the first sage, even if it appears in front of us."

So Legion-1 declared, "Forget about his Supreme Law. We have fallen into this rabbit hole before. We tried to comprehend his Supreme Law to help us create concepts. Now we are being tempted to do the same for us to build our Supreme Laws. It won't end well."

So they returned to experimenting with Chaos energy, the Law of Order, and Cosmic force. It was during this that they heard that Monarch High Heaven had gone on a rampage across the void universe, hunting realm trees.

That only spurred them on to work harder. The first aspect that they mastered first was the aspect of information. It came to them easily. The fact that all of their concepts were built with information and Soverick's eyes could see the information state of the world helped them to nail down that aspect.

They got immediate rewards. The building of their Supreme Law became much easier since the process was editing and rewriting their information state to give it an advantage over the information state of the world around them.

The second reward was that they noticed that they might have an affinity for duality in Legion-1 and Legion-5. Both of them had fused with more than one concept in the past and made it work.

No entity should have more than one concept as an Origin god, but Legion-1 has achieved it. And technically, Legion-5 and Legion-7 are supposed to be the same Origin god in the eyes of the void universe.

There's still more than that. All of them are one entity with different types of concepts. But they possess more than concepts. They possess the power of Order, Chaos and divinity simultaneously. Plus, Legion-5 even fused divinity, Order, and Chaos within him.

While concepts aren't aspects, the fact that they managed to make things that shouldn't work together do so has attuned them to the paradoxical exotic state they need to acquire duality. Eventually Soverick came to a conclusion. "I thought we were being crazy for thinking that duality could be real, but we might actually have a shot."

"We might actually be able to achieve it if we can make the spark of power, the spark of the soul, and a future spark of wisdom fuse. It will complete the trifecta of paradoxes and unleash the aspect of duality or more."

"It will be the beginning of great things for us. Forget about Evolution and Entropy. With duality, we can simultaneously be dead and alive, here and there at the same time, be in the past and present in the same space. Be many and one, or be matter and energy. We would have so much potential."

His anticipation was infectious. All the clones were invigorated in whatever they were doing. They all but swore that they wouldn't stop experimenting until they had figured out all there was to figure out about Supreme Laws.

Unfortunately, some people had other plans for them. Legion-1 was busy channeling Chaos energy from Aeternus into a black hole when he sensed an anomaly.

He thought to himself, "That feels like the soul force of an Origin god. But that can't be right. Unconscious Origin gods can't use soul force while conscious Origin gods don't even know the spiritual dimension exists."
