The hole that the singularity will make might seem much smaller than the one Guntu made when compared to the size of the universe but it will lead to far larger repercussions. The singularity can't destroy the void universe but it can remove everything that has to do with Helios from the universe. Removing an eternal soul from the space-time continuum will leave a black space in the fabric of the universe or what one might call a hole. This hole will exist on every level of the universe including its cosmic barrier.
A universe needs its cosmic barrier much more than a plane needs its barrier. Unknown and dangerous things that should be kept outside the universe will be able to come into the universe. There have to be reasons why they were kept out in the first place and odds are that those reasons are very good. So the consequences of their gaining entry into the universe cannot be good and that's an understatement.
That's just the least of the universe's concerns if the singularity goes off. A hole in the fabric of time and space is much more concerning. The singularity has turned from being a threat to Helios and Legion to actually threatening the entire universe. If something is not done, the consequences of its destruction to the universe will be severe.
Fortunately, the void universe did not come about by chance. Unlike some other universes, it was designed and created for a purpose and there are watchers and protectors of the void universe. The Protectors monitor it and make sure the mechanism of the universe is maintained. The Watchers are mainly concerned about fulfilling the purpose of the universe.
Like in any organization, there is a disagreement based on their aims. Watchers and protectors are also in disagreement. Protectors hate the organisms in the void universe. They believe they are the cause of instability in the universe. Watchers believe in the organisms of the void universe and their ingenuity. They are willing to help the inhabitants of the void universe because the aim of the universe is linked to them.
There are other more important reasons for their conflict but the two parties can always agree in the face of a threat to the fabric of time and space of the universe. The singularity has to be addressed before it goes out of control. But first, a pause.
The universe froze. Time came to a standstill in the void universe. All energy in the universe froze and paused its transformation from one form to another or from energy to matter. Matter ceased to change without time and all states of matter became stagnant. Space became stagnant without the flux of matter. Entropy ceased to increase.
The consciousness, processes, and mechanisms of the reactive universe ground to a halt. Only the unreactive portion of the universe and the consciousness of unreactive entities continued to work. Legion's mind was pulled into one of the unreactive spaces in the void universe.
The consciousness of all clones of Legion was pulled into a dark space. Their minds are like 8 orbs of light and 1 shiny point of light belonging to Helios, all linked together by the energy of a single Origin. Three massive consciousnesses appeared above their minds.
The pressure of the three consciousness weighed on Legion like a heavy mountain. The light of Legion's mind dimmed and waned under the pressure. Thought became too slow and heavy to move.
"So it is you."
"That explains it."
"Last time was mediocre."
"But you have turned mediocre into excellent."
"You have gone beyond expectations."
"This is a truly exemplary performance."
"It is also a very serious matter."
"It is a very dangerous matter."
"But it is undeniably exemplary."
The three gigantic consciousnesses began to talk. They took turns to talk. One spoke after the other and completed a sentence or finished it. There was no difference to tell if they were starting a sentence or ending one. Their voice flowed from one sentence to another with only the meaning behind it being undeniable.
Their mental transmissions felt like heavy blows. They spoke one after the other finishing each other's sentences so it felt like a constant hammer is smashing into their mind over and over again. Even Legion couldn't brush off the painful impact they have on it. None of them could tell who is speaking and where the voices are coming from. The transmissions simply bombarded their minds with the information.
All 8 of them remember a similar event that took place when they were born. Three consciousness talking without a definite end or beginning. Where you can't tell when one is starting and another is finishing. Helios can't think right now so he is the only one spared from the pain. He has his own brand of pain to deal with it. Having your existence compressed into a very small point cannot be a pleasant experience.
The pressure and pain rendered them powerless. They can't resist the suppression alone. But they can manage if they pull together their mental resources. It took all of their willpower to talk.
"Are you world gods?"
The three consciousness paused. Then they began laughing. Legion recognized that laughter. He wasn't angered by the reaction of the three consciousnesses to his question. He simply sighed and accepted his weakness. He can't do any other thing anyway. He has no other choice but to listen until they are done and be freed from here if they wish for it.
It took everything he had to ask that question and they dismissed his best efforts with a laugh. Their laughter might be derisive but it also answered his question. They think that the idea that they could be world gods is funny.
The three consciousness returned to being serious after their short moment of amusement.
"You have broken a tenet of the universe."
"You have tampered with the limit of power."
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ "It is dangerous."
"But rules are rules."
"Excellence deserves to be rewarded."
"You shall be rewarded."
