The invisible flame is refining the whole plane into soldiers. So the plane is already falling apart before the dragons enter it.
This is why the Observers pleaded with the Mechanical Emperor not to destroy the plane. But it is as he said, the amount of damage the plane will take from him is dependent on how far the dragons are going to push him.
The freshly produced robots rose to the sky to join the defense of the plane. Meanwhile, the Phoenixes appeared in the main plane quickly. It was as if they had bypassed the divine plane somehow.
It didn't surprise the Mechanical Emperor that the Phoenixes passed through the divine plane without any delay or any notice from the gods.
He only gnashed his nonexistent teeth and swore, "You gods had all better be dead or I will kill you myself."
Meanwhile, the Shadow Lurker finally decided to make her move on Legion-5.
"There is someone in your base. It is an Origin god. They are approaching you quickly and I doubt they have good intentions." Legion-7 said to him.
"Is it that Origin god that has been motionless since the start of the rite of passage? I thought they were part of the Observers. Why will they want to attack me?" Legion-5 asked incredulously.
He has always been aware of the 12 Origin gods in the plane. One of them is the Mechanical Emperor. He is not hiding at all like the other 11. 10 of them move around occasionally while the last one has remained stationary at the planar portal.
This stationary one is the one that has moved and entered his base. This is after they have just been informed that the plane is under attack. He can't help but think her movements are suspicious.
There has been no conflict between the hidden Origin gods and all 11 of them are Supreme beasts who appear to be scouts so he didn't think they were of different factions. Now one of them is doing something suspicious and it affects him.
"Is she part of the Supreme Alliance or is she with the enemies that invaded?"
Legion-7 replied. "It doesn't matter where they came from. We have always suspected the Supreme Alliance of making a move on us anyway. We just have to deal with whatever comes."
Legion-5 agreed because they don't trust the Supreme Alliance. He has things that the Supreme Alliance will kill for and he has done suspicious things so it will not come to him as a surprise if the Supreme Alliance makes a move on him.
The instruction to seal himself in his base might be a scheme to limit his movements before capture. After all, he hasn't seen any signs of enemy attack. The Supreme Alliance might be lying about that. The only thing he has seen so far is the suspicious movement of an Origin god into his base.
It is unlikely that the Supreme Alliance will betray a Supreme Beast but he is not exactly a Supreme Beast so betrayal is possible. They are prepared for that eventuality so Legion-5 did what they planned to do. He asked Soverick, "What's the condition of the plane, Soverick?"
Soverick is in the realm tree right now so he was able to lock onto his plane. His eyes skimmed over the Stellaris plane from the planar portal to the void outside of it.
"Your invigilator was telling the truth. The entire plane is currently under attack. You have dragons, phoenixes from the void, and Stellos from the planar portal. There is no way to escape. You will have to fight your way through."
"If the Supreme Alliance is also your enemy then you might have to leave as soon as possible. You might have to do this considering that 10 scouts have surrounded your base and are watching it closely. It is highly likely that they are about to capture you and don't want to alarm you."
"Did you say Phoenixes?" Legion-7 asked in surprise.
He looked through Soverick's memories and he couldn't help but smile. "It seems the great mother has found me. She hasn't given up on me even after all this time."
Legion-5 snickered, "One might think she is in love with you."
Legion-7 said smugly, "What can I say? She just can't get enough of me. Her existence is meaningless without me after having a taste of me."
Legion-5 chuckled. "That's very good. We also haven't given up on her. But that's for the future. Her presence here complicates things. Is she working with the Supreme Alliance and they are pretending to fight or is she truly fighting the Supreme Alliance?"
It is truly a frightening thing to consider if the Great Mother is working with the Supreme Alliance. Each one is a dangerous enemy on their own. Together they are terrifying.
It seems far-fetched to think that the two of them are putting up a show of attacking the plane just to capture Legion-5. But Legion is not ordinary either. They have a lot of secrets and valuable artifacts so this possibility is something they have to take seriously.
Legion-7 considered it and said, "Anything is possible. But I think we should sit still and see though. If the Supreme Alliance is after us, then things will not end with your capture. They will come after the rest of us too. We have to know their stance before we move ahead."
Soverick agreed, "You should act as bait. I will see what they are up to. If it is necessary we can prepare a trap for them. If they think they can fool us then they have another thing coming for them."
They decided to let Legion-5 act as bait because they have the confidence to escape whatever the Supreme Alliance is planning. The crystal space butterfly ensures that Legion-5 can't be sealed. He can always teleport to the other clones.
They are also not afraid of his death because his current body is just a version of himself.
