'I must admit that I have underestimated them. None of us that break limits are ordinary. I shouldn't have underestimated them.'
He had underestimated Legion. He wasn't overly impressed with Legion when it broke the first law. The reward he got was mediocre. It wasn't powerful. As a realm lord, clones didn't matter to him. He would have been bothered if Legion could create infinite clones. A flimsy number of 8 clones didn't impress him even if they reincarnated. He has power and nothing beats power.
His disdain increased when he discovered that Legion was researching the Authority of gods. He already figured it out and broke a law of the universe for tracing Authority to its roots. Now he can create and bestow Authority on himself or whoever he wants. It is a really important thing because the scope of Authority is far larger than what Legion knows. Even world gods are interested in his ability.
He thought Legion will go on a wild goose chase for Authority and become mediocre. A limit can be broken twice but it will only be rewarded once. So if Legion manages to figure out what Authority is, he will only be able to create it and bestow himself with it. Legion will not be able to increase its power or bestow it on others because Legion will lack the reward given to the realm lord for breaking the limit first.
He expected Legion to fumble around for numerous Origin cycles before he can ever achieve success but Legion has broken another limit in less than 5 Origin cycles since it broke the last one. It is an unknown limit and it is making the realm lord feel uneasy. Something about it isn't right. He knows that there is something important going on with Legion but he just can't figure it out.
He is not uneasy because of fear nor does he consider Legion a threat. A star might be something big to an Origin god, but it is not to a world god. He is the realm lord of high heaven so he is a world god in this realm. He is feeling uneasy because he felt some unusual fluctuations in the law matrix when Helios collapsed to become a star.
His heart had raced and his intuition for danger spiked like never before but it was gone just as he felt something. He thought for sure that something bad was about to happen but it seemed like it was nothing. It is not normal behavior so he feels uneasy about it. He is not a fool that will disregard that feeling. It might not be Legion that caused him to feel the threat but he is certain that there was a threat to his life for an instant there.
He was deep in thought when he felt a gaze on himself. He followed the gaze and discovered its source. It was coming from the Virut plane. The gaze somehow broke the barrier of the plane, went through the void, broke the barrier of the ancient battlefield, entered the ancient battlefield, bypassed the passive barrier around the tower of heaven, and locked onto him in the tower of heaven.
He tsked in annoyance. "This cheeky monkey."
He cloaked himself with the power of the realm and the gaze disappeared.
"Now this is getting irritating." He grumbled to himself.
There are a lot of entities that can lock on to him and none of them are in the realm of high heaven because world gods are enormous and aren't allowed in the lower realms. So he only had to shield himself from external forces. He had never had to worry about someone spying on him within the realm until now and it is irritating, to say the least.
He wished he could squash the offender like a bug but he can't harm the children of the realm of high heaven unless they commit a crime.
'That will change soon.' He said to himself.
He has paid a lot for the privileges that he enjoys as the realm lord and he is continuing to pay more. The recent events are asking a lot out of him. He would very much like to lash out and do whatever he wants but he has to bottle up his desires and keep them down. It is very frustrating.
pαndα`noνɐ1~сoМ He was stewing silently when he noticed another problem in the realm. He can know about everything going on in the realm as the realm lord but he doesn't. Complete omniscience within the realm requires a large mental capacity that he doesn't have. He is not like the will of the realm that knows everything there is to know about everything that has ever existed in the realm. So he has filtered most of the things that reach him based on significance.
The issue that he became aware of has to be very important for him to be notified. He looked into it and began to laugh. Mother high heaven also discovered it but she wasn't laughing. She was frowning.
"This isn't good." She said.
The realm lord spoke as he laughed. "Didn't I tell you? Nothing is ever free. There is always a price to pay."
The issue is coming from the home plane of the dragons and it is also related to Legion. Helios's change threatened a plane and benefitted the entire realm but this change is only threatening a plane. She also can't interfere this time for many reasons. She can only watch.
"Still worth it. It is the dragon's problem. They had it coming anyways."
It is a worthy price to pay by her standards. So a plane might be destroyed. She will still make the exchange so that she will get a new star even if the star only gets to work for her for an Origin cycle. She has more than 100,000 planes. The loss of one for a star is worth it. It is also the loss of a plane she doesn't like. It's a win-win for her.
