Legion-7 agreed. "If Legion-1, Aeternus, and Legion-9 failed on their own, then the odds of you succeeding by combining their attempts should be high."
Aeternus was still pessimistic, "Even if works, you will only be a match for Supreme Origin gods at best. You will still need a world seed to become a world god."
Legion-7 also added, "I can help you fuse everything but even If it succeeds, what you will have is a substitute for a supreme law. You will still need a world. So a world seed or world engine is still important. It will not be easy to fuse with a world seed without being an Origin god so Aeternus is somewhat right."
They went back and forth sharing and engaging in ideas on how to become a world god without a supreme law. It is something that has never been done before so there is no certainty that it will work. It might be a waste of time to achieve it but Legion is looking forward to it. Even Aeternus took time out of baiting demon kings into his abyssal plane to hash out the specifics of Legion-5's plan.
Legion-5's divine ability is a mutation of the original divine ability of Supreme Beasts. The Supreme beast calls their divine ability the Power Thief. It is an upgrade of their ancient days when they used to steal trinkets and identities. They are not Shapiros anymore. They steal power.
But he is not a normal Supreme beast either. He can assimilate anything non-living and not just seeds of power. That's why he has taken to calling his divine ability Domination. It aims to make use of it to dominate the paths of power to lead him to greatness.
They might fail, but they are willing to try. No matter the outcome, Legion-5 will still become an extraordinary world god even if he ends up needing to upgrade his concept into a supreme law. It will be a supreme law like no other and might pave the way for the unity of the worlds of Legion.
Their discussion didn't stop even when they received visitors. He didn't meet with the merchant group when Lafiti came. The transcendent dropped off the resources and left. Lafiti isn't important enough for him to meet and he also didn't meet with the envoys and diplomats of the various empires in the plane that came to see him.
Legion-7 said in pity, "Poor fools. They are trying to curry favor with us."
"They are too late. I have taken payment from my brethren to stay out of the competition. I cannot go back on my word like that. I am too honorable."
The Supreme Beasts were not the only ones who paid attention to the plane-wide extortion. The inhabitants of the plane also watched so they saw the power that he displayed and how he got away with extorting other Supreme Beasts.
It is clear to them who the top dog of the Supreme Beasts is so they all came to appeal to him for their freedom. They want him to make them citizens. He surely has a lot of points to take that kind of action.
Unfortunately for them, he has no intention of meeting with anyone including the Popes of the churches that came to see him. Even their gods won't be able to arrange a meeting with him.
It wasn't until he saw the staff of a pope that he changed his mind. His eyes lit up immediately.
"Now that I think about it, I think it is too disrespectful if I don't show my face when I reject them. It is the least that the honorable pope of a church deserves."
Legion-7 snickered. "You are truly honorable."
It is not because of honor that he didn't meet with the first batch of visitors and it certainly isn't because of respect that he is meeting with this pope. Several popes have come before this one but he didn't meet them. The difference this time is that this pope has a shiny staff in her pretty hands.
So Legion-5 left the core of the base to meet this pope. He didn't let her into his base though. He hasn't let anyone in apart from his soldiers. Just because she has something he wants doesn't mean he will give her any sort of hospitality. She remained outside after being informed that he would meet with her.
He didn't spend up to a minute to come out and that's only because he had to execute some security protocols to open the numerous doors that lead out. So he came out very quickly which surprised her. He could have spent a day to see her while she remained outside waiting and she wouldn't complain. She was raised never to offend Supreme Beasts and gods so she was willing to wait patiently.
She bowed slightly in greeting when she saw Legion-5 come out of the base.
"Supreme one. I am Karhenki from the Church of Light and Justice. I have come on behalf of my god the Celestial of light and justice to extend an olive branch to you in hopes that…"
She was talking when she felt the world change around her. She saw the world grab her through her divine sense. She raised her staff to resist only to be found wanting. The hand formed out of world power didn't attack her. It grabbed the staff and took it from her.
Legion-5 wasn't willing to hear her speak before taking action. He didn't plan to ask for the staff either. He wanted it so he took it. Then he tuned her out and focused his attention on the staff.
This staff is the supreme artifact of the church. It is the highest honor bestowed by the Celestial of Light and justice to the pope. It is an item that represents the legitimacy of the papacy. Whoever has it is the true pope. Whoever doesn't isn't. To grab it like that is utter blasphemy. But the pope didn't get angry.
