Chapter 1462 A Wheel In A Machine.
This realm tree is the High Heaven realm. It will be the focus of its attention if only for the realm lord. It wouldn't take its eyes off of it if that high elf called high heaven hadn't become the realm lord or broken any rules. It is because the protector has a lot of be concerned about just because of his identity.
That identity has already broken a lot of rules. As if that isn't enough reasons for the protector to gnash its non-existent teeth as it monitored the high heaven realm, there is also a gestating godling in the realm.
It is something that has never happened in the void universe. Godlings are not born in realm trees. Realm trees don't have what's needed to make them. Godlings are born in the void. That's why the most notorious races created from godlings can live in the void easily more than those created in the realm trees.
This unique situation of a godling gestating in a realm tree might be the first of his kind, but it has only brought deep hatred from the protector. It has made it unhappy for many years. But it is happy now because its plan has worked. Draco had moved into action after it went to warn him.
The Protector's gaze bypassed the darkness of the dark side, the barrier of the law matrix, the protection of the realm tree by the world spark, the protection of the ancestral grounds of dragons, and fixed on the dragon egg that it loathed so much.
It said in anticipation, "Soon. Soon. Very soon."
It is quite a letdown that one of the strongest beings in the void universe, so powerful that world gods call him the Overgod, had to resort to schemes to have its way. But this is the way of the world. It may be powerful, but there are rules that bind its existence.
Those rules are impossible for it to break because they are part of its existence. It can't even break the rules by mistake. It is just like how a mortal can't dig out their brain through their nose by mistake. Hence, it had to scheme to get its way.
The rules limit its power, but it isn't bitter about it. After all, the maintenance of the rules is why it exists. The protector understood that it might be powerful, but it is just a wheel in the operation of the void universe. It is just a tool forged by the creator to accomplish the purpose of the void universe.
The protector understands this, so it isn't bitter about the handicap, even though it doesn't know what the purpose of the void universe is. This is because it doesn't need to know the purpose of the void universe to do its job. All it needs to know is that it can't attack Origin gods at all. That will be the same as the void universe attacking itself.
It knows that someone harming themselves is an action that mentally disabled entities would take, so it knows that such an action will affect the purpose of the void universe in a detrimental manner. It doesn't know the purpose of the void universe, but it is smart enough to understand that the void universe must care about Origin gods because the support of the void universe is why they are immortal.
So if it can't attack Origin gods, it surely can't go into the high heaven realm to crush that dragon egg and stop the birth of a godling. This will surely nip the propagation of Chaos in the realm, and it should be a good thing, but he can't do so.
The Protector could have waited for Legion to become a world god, but it would be too late by then. It had threatened Legion in the past, but that threat would only be dangerous to Legion if it were a weak world god. That is unlikely to be the case with a godling for a clone.
Legion's Supreme Beast clone has achieved something in that vein, so the Protector knows with certainty that Legion would be a very powerful world god. Of course, the power of a world god is nothing compared to the power of an Overgod, but the power of a world god becomes significant if the Overgod can't attack world gods wantonly.
This is the reason why world gods still exist at all in the void universe. If it had its way, then there would be no world gods. That means there would be no Usurpers who steal the power of the void universe. Unfortunately, it doesn't have its way so it can put all its confidence on eliminating Legion when they become world gods.
It can only sigh when it thinks about the Chaos perpetuating in the void universe and say, "The Creator must have a plan, and his plan is supreme."
Then it would shrug and say, "Besides, the end of the void universe will not be the end."
So the Protector remained content with watching its scheme unravel. It is shackled by rules, so it has to enjoy little victories like this.

It all started with a fight. Legion-8 watched it happen. He was forced to participate in it as if he were one of them, but he was more of a bystander.
The three of them were wrestling. They were growling at each other and pushing and pulling. They rolled around on the dirt and tried to vie for supremacy. However, supremacy was not so easy to acquire. None of them was willing to give an inch in the fight.
They were young, but they were also smart. Two of them ganged up on the third, who was the biggest. She was the biggest and the strongest. They couldn't beat her alone and couldn't risk being divided, or she would beat them separately. So they cooperated to defeat her.
Legion-8 decided to go along with the motion. He didn't have much of a choice. It is this or nothing. Besides, there's a benefit waiting for him at the end.

A/N And so it begins. We finally see Legion-8. But which one is Legion-8?
