GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The next thing he did was to change his location. It is a precaution. He is too close to the realm tree for comfort. So he moved deeper into the void.

Then he initiated his breakthrough by recalling the Origin essence that Legion-1 gave him when he reincarnated. That essence is deep within his Origin. That means it is close to Legion-1's inner world since Legion-1 is in possession of their Origin. The Origin essence appeared within his inner world now and began to permeate his existence.

The major goal of the Origin essence was to make him whole. It wanted to fuse every aspect of his existence so it tried to make every part of his existence become one. That includes Legion-1 and his other 8 divine abilities.

All of them fused with him without a hitch. His strength began improving with the consolidation of his existence. This is because his immortal seed of power is becoming one with him.

The next thing that the Origin essence wanted to do was make him one with Legion-7. This also occurred without any issues. His divine abilities became Legion-7's and Legion-7's soul spark also became his.

The only hitch is that the two shards of power prevented their consciousness from becoming one but that didn't stop or delay the breakthrough in any way.

Origin essence moved on to the next stage now that he has become a monolith existence. It moved next to make him become one with the law matrix of the void universe. This is where a problem that couldn't be overlooked arose.

Legion-7 was willing to fuse with him and they were Originally of one existence so they became one without issues. The void universe on the other hand rejected him outright.

This rejection could either be because he has the crown of a demon king or the godhood of a Celestial. Or it could be because Legion-7 which it hates is a part of him now.

He wasn't willing to stop the breakthrough so he pushed for fusion with the law matrix. The fusion began but there was resistance so it was slow. Heavy tribulation also descended to disrupt the process.

It was exactly as Soverick saw it. The law matrix became a wild horse they had to tame. It is worse because it is a horse with the power of lightning.

Legion-5 said with a little anxiety, "This is the Tribulation."

Legion-7 encouraged him, "We will survive this."

They spoke to each other as a large whirlpool appeared in the void. The law matrix became so agitated that void energy was whipped into a frenzy. This caused a whirlpool of charged void energy to surround them. The whirlpool then erupted with purple lightning.

The first shot of purple lightning struck them and blasted a crater on their armored body. The crater was as large as a fist. It broke through their defense immediately.

"That is surprisingly painful." Both of them said at the same time.

They did not expect the first strike to harm them so much. That blow was already devastating but many more came after. They were pushed back from the center of the whirlpool by the first lightning strike but another one struck them in the back and pushed them back to the center.

Purple lightning from their surroundings bombarded them over and over again. More and more small craters were created on their body. They increased from the size of their fist to the size of their head. It hurt their mind as well as their bodies.

This tribulation is not the normal tribulation of body, soul, and mind in that the effect of the tribulation does not occur separately one after the other. This lightning punishment is hurting all of their existence at once. It is not giving any part of their existence time to rest at all.

Legion-5 chuckled. "This is surely suffering. I don't see what else could be more painful than this."

They have experienced the separation of body and soul before and they have experienced the consumption of their soul due to Chaos energy and they have experienced the burden of a singularity of infinite possibilities so they know pain. But this tribulation has taken the cake in the most painful thing they have ever experienced.

It would be better if their soul, bodies, and minds were separated with a knife instead of being shredded little by little by lightning. This is despite the fact that they are supposed to be immune to lightning and any other type of energy attack.

To top things off, not only is their body breaking as well as their soul, but they are also experiencing hallucinations and the destruction of their memories.

Both the destruction of their memories and the hallucinations they are experiencing are not normal at all. The mind tribulation shouldn't involve the destruction of memories but the void universe is using it against them.

If not for Legion-7's already immortal psychic engram, they wouldn't be able to survive the destructive effect of the purple lightning on their memories. They would have lost their sense of self as their body was destroyed.

If it wasn't clear before, it is clear now that the void universe is biased against them. But they are strong. Their mind held on as well as their body. They were able to keep themselves whole by regenerating with their infinite supply of Origin energy. The durability of Liquid graviton armor was maintained this way so the craters couldn't destroy them.

Legion-7 wouldn't have been able to survive the lightning if he were alone and Legion-5 surely wouldn't be able to survive the destruction of his memories alone. But they are not alone. The two of them made up for their weaknesses in the physical and spiritual aspects.

However, things got worse as time passed. The purple lightning turned into violet with a tiny hint of black. Their body was finally blasted through.

A lance of this special lightning went through them like a spear. It literally perforated their existence. A gaping hole appeared in their body, soul, mind, and memories.
