Helios has checked the behavior of the power of order in Zernon's arm against the demon power in Beelta's body. The outcome has always been mutual destruction. A smaller amount of the arm causes a large portion of Beelta's body to explode. That's because of the difference in power. It means that they should expect catastrophic consequences when they work with the Authority of Chaos.
Legion has information about how Divine power acts with laws. Divine power usurps laws. It is especially glaring how divine power can weaken the power of order. So Helios tried to understand how divine power will react to chaos but it turned out badly. The divine power of order in Zernon's always exploded whenever it reacted with sin energy in Beelta's body.
The experiment was dangerous but it was also enlightening. Unfortunately, Helios had to cut his project short now that Zernon is dead. He doesn't have any material containing both divine power and the power of order. That what's Helios is here to supply by using Stelios as the source.
The divine life energy of the tree father always burns up whenever it comes in contact with Chaos too. It is why Aeternus cannot take advantage of it for his trial. Helios had the idea to use Aeternus's energy to interact with his divine energy and see how they will react.
So the aim of the first experiment is to see how Chaos will react with Order and divine energy. Having that information will make them much closer to analyzing Chaos Authority and figuring out what Authority is. It is the first experiment in a long line of research objectives.
"Alright. Let's make contact." Helios said after preparing the first procedure.
pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ He cut himself and let his blood flow. He used a receptacle to contain the blood. Then Aeternus made a tendril of chaos energy and dipped it into the container. The tendril sizzled on contact. The reaction turned the blood into ashes while producing smoke.
Helios said. "That's disappointing and underwhelming. I expected more."
"It is no different with how chaos energy reacts with other matter anyway," Aeternus observed.
"You think?" Helios asked him.
"It is better to test and confirm it."
They decided to test the reaction of chaos energy with other materials and they found the reaction to be similar. Chaos energy will corrode anything it comes into contact with be it organic or inorganic.
"Let's move on then," Helios said dejectedly.
He hoped that the first procedure will produce something worthwhile but the reaction of Chaos energy with his blood seems no different from its reaction with other materials. This means that they will have to finally channel Chaos energy into the mind network of Legion.
Legion has always held back on allowing Chaos energy to pass through the soul sphere. Chaos energy is rebellious and very dangerous. It might harm the soul sphere and it will definitely harm the other legions. The harm that it will bring to the other clones is absolutely certain while it is uncertain of the effects it will have on the soul sphere since it is a universal treasure. It is an endeavour with serious risks hence Legion's reluctance.
Legion wouldn't take this risk if not for the perfect control that Aeternus has recently acquired over Chaos and the opportunity to get more data. Legion can sacrifice a clone for its greater good but Chaos energy can put all of them in jeopardy. So even though Legion trusts Aeternus completely, they must plan for accidents. It will be naive to believe that nothing will go wrong.
If something can go wrong, odds are that it will go wrong so Legion has taken some precautions to mitigate the damage that Chaos energy will cause. Chaos energy will transfer from Aeternus, through his soul sphere, and to Legion-1. Legion 1 is the central station since he has the main soul sphere. Then Legion-1 will direct it to Helios.
Legion-1 is a bonafide Origin god and should be able to control and cut the connection of Chaos energy if anything goes wrong. That is the original plan and they shouldn't need more if everything goes well. If not, Aeternus can cut off the flow from his side. If that doesn't work either, then the tree father will crack Aeternus's skull open through his eye sockets.
The damage should stun Aeternus and cut off the flow at least temporarily. If that doesn't work, then the tree father will kill Aeternus and end the flow of Chaos energy for good. That will surely end the flow of Chaos energy. It is better to sacrifice one clone instead of all of them. It is a pragmatic and effective plan but Helios doesn't like it.
He is the one at the most risk in this procedure but all of Legion is at risk too. This procedure is incredibly dangerous and it could lead to either he or Aeternus dying. The rest could suffer varying levels of injury too so he isn't exactly looking forward to the situation. That's why he was hoping for something during the first procedure despite Soverick's opinion that nothing useful will come out of an external reaction. They were all hoping for something important too.
They are all not comfortable with the idea of Chaos energy rampaging through their mind network but Soverick believes that the perfect control and perfect senses of their bodies and soul will create an environment that will help them observe and acquire the best information about the interaction between Chaos energy, divine power, and order. So they will do it despite their reluctance.
"I am ready too." The tree father said.
The vine placed in front of Aeternus's face began to glow with a green light. The tree father infused it with his Authority. It will shoot forward when necessary and do what it needs to do. Aeternus won't resist either. It is for the good of Legion.
And so it began. Aeternus began transmitting Chaos energy through the soul sphere in his soul. He didn't have to do much. Chaos energy is always eager for action so he simply stopped holding it back and let it flow through his soul to the soul sphere.
