Chapter 1630: The Big Reveal.
?
Legion-7 caused the shards of power in the world fragment to riot. He didn''t know where they were. He only knew that they were part of his body.
The shards of power affected every clone and made different unpredictable things happen to them. These things happened to every clone, regardless of their position in time and space.
The fake world was shaken from both inside of it, due to Helios, and out of it, thanks to the shards of power. The world sought to push out Legion-7 which he gladly accepted.
But Legion-7 was connected to all of them, so he managed to pull them out of the whirlpool and awaken them. The whirlpool disappeared around them to reveal a white world.
This is their mental space. It should be where they are strongest. Unfortunately, there''s still a 10th mind here. He had followed them from wherever they were to the very sanctuary of their minds. This proved that he was truly connected to them. He wasn''t lying about that.
The good news is that they have been awakened now, so their intelligence has returned, and they are no longer fools. They knew the identity of the infiltrator without a shred of doubt.
The nine of them surrounded the 10th person. This person is the stranger in their midst. They even know the person''s identity.
They asked together as one, "How did you manage to infiltrate us?"
This person looked just like them. It looks like a white Supreme Beast. It has no facial features and can also change its physical appearance to any of the clones. But this doesn''t fool them anymore, and the person knew it.
But the person was not concerned. They had the calm and confident bearing that a victorious person should have.
The tenth clone tsked and corrected them, "Don''t act like I barged in. You invited me."
He asked them, "Why are you suppressing your thoughts? What do you have to hide from me that I haven''t seen already? I have seen all your plans for the era of conquest, your skills, and your abilities. I have also heard your thoughts. I think I know you better than yourselves."
Legion-5 replied, "We are under no obligation to entertain you."
The entity agreed with a nod. "That''s true."
"Fine. Be a bore if you want. I will make my own fun."
Legion was silent as they contemplated their plan. It is not that they are not thinking. They are, but it is through Legion-7. So in a way, it is only Legion-7 that is thinking. This entity can''t infiltrate Legion-7''s mind, so he thinks they are silent.
But that ignorance didn''t continue for much longer. The person said after looking around, "This must be the world of Legion-7''s mind. I noticed it when you shifted your thoughts. It was subtle, but I am very good at that sort of thing."
"This is something only a spiritual entity with a spark of consciousness can do. Do you know that I have met the great mother before? Great creature. She is not like you, but she has managed to achieve something great in an unforgiving situation. She deserves that praise."
"She and I worked together briefly to trap you. We wanted to bring you to the spiritual dimension with the promise of an item that can make you evolve. I''m sure you haven''t forgotten your meeting with Salvini. You should think yourself lucky that you avoided that bait."
"I was frustrated for a long time about what to do, but who would have thought that you would slip into my hands just like that? And what a bounty I have found in your existence! Two Universal artifacts and one shard of power that I have never heard about. You are truly blessed."
The entity went on and on, bragging about what he knew about them. Then he asked them, "It was the fake world god that gave my ruse away, right? Of all the things that Helios or anyone of you could have done, you chose to attack the claw of a world god and shatter the world
around you."
Their tenth clone laughed, "That''s madness if it had been the real world. What you should have done is run away. Fortunately, it wasn''t the real world. Helios was very lucky. Too lucky even."
