GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The bird has a single eye on its head that is locked onto him right now. It can see him and it is scrutinizing him just as he is observing it.

The bird asked, "What are you?"

Legion-7 didn't answer. The bird was first surprised by the contact and curious about his existence. Then the bird became shocked. It said with excitement, "You are an immortal soul. I must have you."

Then the gigantic and angelic white bird began to move. It spread itself out into something like a peacock as it shot forward. The expansion of its wings made the already massive bird balloon in size. It flapped its 6 pairs of feathered wings to propel itself. It was moving in the direction of the thread connected to the red soul fragment.

The bird said to him earnestly, "Don't try to run. Escape is futile and resistance is hopeless. I will have you and we will become one. Together we will achieve greatness."

Legion-7 could tell that it was coming for him because it rushed in the direction of the thread that he was using to contact it. He is not interested in this greatness that is being offered and he is sure that accepting the offer will not be voluntary if the bird finds him so he detached his divine sense from the white thread quickly and rushed up to escape.

The first thing that came to his mind was escaping. This is because the red soul fragment he fought earlier was equal to him in strength while this large white bird is a spiritual entity that is far above him in strength. He is not sure just how much he is outclassed in strength but he does know that the large white bird has many threads that it uses to control thousands of soul fragments similar to the one he found in the egg.

He won easily against the red soul fragment because it didn't fight back and because it didn't have soul force. It would have been much more difficult had the soul fragment resisted and it would be nearly impossible to win against a thousand of the soul fragments resisting.

One can imagine how hopeless his fight against the large white bird is considering that his chances of victory against just the soul fragments its controls are so slim. The large white bird itself would be able to kill him with one flap of its wing so he ran. He could see that above him was the way out.

"That is where I came from so that must be the way out." He thought.

What he thought was reasonable. But reality is not what he wished it to be. He reached the top of what could be considered the ocean but something blocked his way. There was a barrier there and it extended in every direction as far as he could tell. He realized that he couldn't leave the same way he came.

Apparently, he is locked in this strange place and he can't leave.

"How did the soul fragment come here then?" he asked in agitation.

The soul fragment chose that time to speak. It turned into a white feather with the outline of an eye on it. The feather then turned into the phantom of a white bird. The bird looks like a raven and it has a single eye on its head. Its body is made of squirming white tendrils.

Waves of spiritual fluctuations emanated from it to reach him. The waves contained information that he could understand. The bird had said, "Don't run, lost immortal. I don't mean you any harm. Become one with me and we can achieve greatness together. It is a good thing for you."

The spiritual fluctuations didn't go far before they were destroyed by the corrosive water around them. Fortunately, he got the information within the spiritual fluctuations before it was destroyed. Legion-7 realized that he was not the only one that is attacked by the corrosive water. It attacks everything and everyone.

"How do I leave here?" he asked the phantom of the white bird.

The bird offered generously. "You will know when you become one with us."

Legion-7 thought to himself with a sneer, "I was just born but I am not a fool. I recognize a scam when I see one."

He rushed down to the soul fragment and began destroying it. The bird he saw was grand, majestic, and very powerful but this soul fragment is weak. He almost killed it before, so he should be able to do it again.

"This has to work or I am doomed."

The large bird is tracking him through this soul fragment. If he can destroy this soul fragment then it should lose sight of him. That's what he figured through the white threads that connect the soul fragment to the large bird.

He is sure that he should be able to destroy the soul fragment but he could be wrong. After all, the soul fragment was able to recover the first time he damaged it. So he was determined and serious as he got to work destroying the soul fragment. The two of them began another round of fighting.

Unfortunately for Legion-7, the soul fragment is not passive this time around. It didn't let him attack without defending itself. It even attacked him in return. It used the thin white threads around it to beat Legion-7 and it also used the flames of rebirth at its disposal to burn Legion-7.

The soul fragment advised him sincerely, "Resistance is futile. Join the great mother and achieve greatness with us. We can achieve such great things together. All you have to do is yield. Open your mind to the possibilities."

Legion-7 didn't listen. The fight was tougher but he wasn't hopeless. He had soul force which he used to defend against the attacks of the soul fragment. Soul force protected him but he couldn't manage to injure the soul fragment.
