They are fake sovereigns who became sovereigns by fusing with the seed of power of dead Sovereigns. This will ensure that they are weak and cannot become Origin gods without attending the trial of heaven.
The Tower of Supremacy is full of luxury slaves like them. They serve the Supreme Beasts with all their lives including their bodies. As long as Supreme beasts can pay for them, they can even kill one and eat it.
He is certain of this rule because he confirmed it. He tried once but he decided it was too expensive to indulge in it no matter how delicious the flesh of a Sovereign is.
The Sovereign slave led him to the teleportation circle while others activated it. It is more of translocation since the space where he is in will be locked and swapped with the space at the target location.
The teleportation artifact activated and froze him including his surroundings. For a brief moment, it felt like he was in frozen tar. Then he disappeared from the headquarters as the artifact translocated him.
He should have appeared at the other end of the spatial tunnel. But something or someone stole him during the translocation. That something made him appear at a random plane in a location that just happened to be beside Soverick Ghastorix.
"That was very unpleasant." He complained as he stumbled.
He grumbled some more, "I thought I was going to die."
"I said it would work and it worked. That's all that matters." Soverick maintained. "You survived, didn't you?"
Legion-5 shook his head. "Your plan was crazy and dangerous. I am probably the only Sovereign who could have survived that without terrible injuries."
Soverick ignored his complaints. He looked up into the sky and said, "The tribulation will come. It is certain. I can see it and I can see your suffering."
Legion-5 and Legion-7 didn't like the sound of that. "But you can't see if we survive or not."
Soverick was silent for a while. Then he said, "No, I can't. It could be because it involves the Will of the void universe or because you died. Either way, all I can see is tribulation, suffering, and then darkness."
Legion-5 muttered, "Tribulation, suffering, and then darkness."
"Good luck. I am leaving. I have work to do." Soverick said.
Then he broke apart. His body would be remade in the inner world of Legion-1. The work he has to do is within Legion-1's inner world. It is quicker to have Legion-7 create a new body for him in Legion-1's inner world than to travel across space to meet Legion-1.
Legion-5 is also going to Legion-1. That is if he succeeds in becoming an Origin god. He only stopped here to deceive his trackers who will surely come to find him after he didn't appear where he should have. Legion doesn't want to lead them straight to Legion-1 so he came here first.
It took a while for Legion-5 to get himself together. The forceful interruption of his teleportation took its toil on him. It didn't help that Soverick's prophecy was not good news. It weighed heavily on his mind.
The first thing he did before flying up into the void outside the plane was to remove the mark of the Supreme Alliance on him. The Supreme Alliance can track him through the mark and he doesn't want that.
It would be nearly impossible for anyone other than an Origin god with a concept to remove the mark but he has Legion-7 who is in possession of a spark of consciousness. It was easy to discard the mark with the two of them working together to purge his existence of it.
Then he flew into the void and out of the realm tree completely. This is according to his plan to leave the realm tree and breakthrough in the void of the universe. Then he will meet up with the others if he succeeds.
He said in amusement, "Here is to hoping that I don't die during the tribulation."
Legion-7 was not so amused. "You can't joke about that. This is serious. I doubt the void universe will let me go if I fail."
Legion-5 had to agree. "I doubt that too."
His body and mind ached as he utilized his divine sense to propel himself upwards. It is the repercussion of interrupting a teleportation by teleporting to another location in the midst of the first teleportation. The experience was even worse because space had to be manipulated in two different states for him to escape the way he did.
Space is very strong. If it wasn't so strong, then reality would be fragile. It is strong so it takes a lot of energy to overcome its resistance and manipulate it. That's why teleportation is very expensive.
A single use of a teleportation device can be more expensive than the teleportation device itself.
Even an organization as wealthy as the Supreme Alliance would prefer to spend some time escorting their younglings across the ancient battlefield and pay Origin gods to keep them safe rather than activate the teleportation device many times.
However, the cost of transportation is not the only repercussion of the rigidity of space. If someone breaks a spatial tunnel created during a teleportation, withstands the backlash of such an attempt, then forcefully manipulates the shards of the broken spatial tunnel into a liquid state to teleport to an anchor that is present within another coefficient of space, then they should be ready to be taken through a blender of pain.
He was truly taken through that blender. His whole existence was pressurized and warped during the teleportation. Most Sovereigns would have been injured within an inch of their life. The fake sovereigns like the slaves at the Tower Of Supremacy would have died directly if they experienced what he did.
A dragon would have managed it with slight discomfort. He is not a dragon but a dragon is not better than him hence the slight discomfort. It was painful but at least his mind didn't break. It is only aching from the stress.
