GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1724: Seeing Is Deceiving.



It was a feeling he was all too familiar with. Someone had scanned him with their soul force- empowered divine sense. It didn't make sense, so he used his divine sense to scan his

surroundings.

However, he didn't see anything out of place. There was indeed a conscious Origin god rushing towards him in the spiritual dimension, but that's normal, isn't it?

Fortunately, he wasn't the only one in charge of their mind. When he asked himself that question, he asked the other clones too. The other clones didn't think it was normal at all.

They screamed in his mind, "Run!!!"

Legion-1 took off immediately. He still isn't mentally cognizant of the strange Origin god in the spiritual dimension, but he trusts the other clones not to lead him astray.

He said to them, "This can't be right. There's nothing there."

"There's literally an Origin god chasing after you. How can you not see it?"

Soverick suggested, "Use my eyes."

So Legion-1 turned Soverick's All Seeing Eye in the direction of the Origin god. The strange mirror for an eye above his head captured the image of the Origin god. This enabled them to finally see what it looked like.

Legion-1 said, "Oh no."

Not only did the Origin god look like Legion-5, it also had something they didn't want to encounter. It had the derivative laws of the first Sage all over it.

Legion-1 crossed the barrier to the void universe immediately. This shifted his position randomly across the void universe. It ensured that he lost his pursuers.

Soverick said what they were all thinking, "This is bad. We didn't sense it in our future. We should have at least seen a darkness approaching us in the future. What is that thing?"

Legion-7 provided, "We did, you didn't see it."

He replayed the memory of the vision to them while censoring some part of it. Soverick had seen the vision, but he had ignored it just like Legion-1 did. Then Legion-7 had hijacked the memory and wiped it out of their minds, so none of them saw it.

He did so to avoid them seeing something they shouldn't see. Even now he is editing the memories of what Soverick's eyes analyzed from the entity.

What he saw in those memories helped him come to some conjectures. "It is using some sort of mental dissonance on us. I think it is a concept or the power of the spark of consciousness. We can see it and perceive it, but we are not acknowledging its presence. I think I have a lot to learn from this."

What he said made Soverick grumble, "So not only is the enemy affecting our minds, but you are too. Talk about an external and internal sabotaging combo."

Helios drew their attention to something else. He said, "Hello? It has a spark of consciousness like us. Since when did the first sage gain one?"

Aeternus grinned and said, "Everyone. I believe that this creation, whatever it is, is food. We should try to steal it or eat it."

Legion-7 was quick to shut that idea down. "No. We would be underestimating the first sage too much. Let's just avoid it."

Legion-1 sighed and said, "I'm sure you have your reasons. But I don't like this at all."

They decided to limit their encounter with this strange creature instead of pursuing it. So they returned to the spiritual dimension to continue their experiments.

Unfortunately, it found them again. They lost it, but it did again. They just couldn't escape for more than 10 years at a time.

Legion-4 complained, "How is it still finding us?"

Legion-6 joined too. "It is almost as if it has something to track us with."

"Could it be our memories? Is the first sage that powerful?"

Legion-7 warned them, "You should cease that point of inquiry or I might have to purge it from your memory."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Legion-1 asked in frustration.

"Cease trying to learn about it and limit all contact with it, and we will be fine."

It was a good idea. It kept them away from the 10th clone, but it caused them to be frustrated.

The first major issue they have with it is the fact that they have to resign themselves to be pursued. They can't attempt to learn more about the enemy so that they can deal with it better.

What's worse than the first issue is that the pursuit is interfering with their experiments. In the past, they had to start all over again because the void universe crushed them. But that usually takes time because the effects of their actions are slow to see. They won't have that time anymore if they have to be running around.

To solve the second issue, they decided to make two clones work on the experiment at the same time. When one is being chased, the other will continue to work on the experiment.

It worked for a while. It stopped working when the strange creature became two. These two were exactly alike. They were white beings with the power of Supreme Origin gods who could transform into different creatures.

Legion upped the anty and assigned three clones to working in the spiritual dimension. While two are being chased, the third would work on the experiment.

It didn't work for long. A third strange Origin god joined the chase. This made Legion's frustration peak. They wanted to kill the creatures at all costs, but they couldn't fight them at all. Common sense dictated that it was a bad idea to fight something related to the first sage and could mess with their minds. Legion-7 also insisted on avoiding it at all costs. Eventually things got so bad that they didn't have time for leisure or experiments anymore. The void universe wasn't safe because tens of thousands of world gods and billions of Origin gods were chasing them. The spiritual dimension had also become unsafe for them. All they could was run and run and run.
