There's no use overthinking about it because overthinking about it won't do him any good. He just has to make a decision and stick with it. If he could see the future then he might be sure of his decisions and their repercussions but he can't. He can read the past, unfortunately for him, this world doesn't have a past. It was created instantaneously. It doesn't have a history for him to base his decisions on.
If someone unrelated to Legion can volunteer to help Legion and even go so far as to sacrifice her consciousness, then he can surely offer himself to die for Legion. If his decision turns out to be bad, then he will pay the price for it despite knowing how bad the price might be. It is a risk that is worth it.
The law of order that he is acquiring will help every Legion form their concepts and become titans of law. That is just the basic use of the false laws of order. They have more targeted and specific use based on race. In the case of the dragon clone, it will help him gain better control of the immense power that he has acquired. Everything he does, he does for the good of Legion.
He disregarded his safety and continued trying to gain access to the core with the remaining time left in the challenge. Unfortunately for him, he was not able to succeed by the time the challenge ended. The world spirit appeared one year after the challenge started. It appeared in the sky and clapped. The world froze and every competitor froze with it. Every competitor apart from Soverick that is.
Soverick opened all of his eyes when he sensed the freezing of the world. He looked up and saw the world spirit. The world spirit was also looking directly at him. The frown on its face transmitted enough information about its opinion of Soverick. It does not like him at all. Not one bit. It has better things it wants to do than to engage in a mental battle with Soverick for control of the core.
Soverick grinned when he saw the frown. He stood up and yawned. Then he began stretching just so that the world spirit's frown will increase. And it did. The frown deepened as if to crack its smooth flat face. Soverick has become an anomaly in the system. He is not supposed to be still aware of his surroundings and moving now. His very existence has become an eyesore to the world's spirit.
It turned away from the invader and moved on with its job. The forest was removed and the world was scrubbed clean into its base form as a white canvas. The arena became an empty and ridiculously large white room once again. The competitors were then released.
The Arena spirit spoke to them, "Congratulations to those that survived this challenge. You have earned a feat for your efforts. And thanks to the effort of the child of the plane who defeated the final boss, this arena has qualified for the second challenge. We will now proceed to join the other arenas that qualified."
The white room became larger all of a sudden and more competitors appeared in the added space. Other arena spirits appeared in the new sections too. They are addressing the new competitors just like the world spirit of Arena 28 is addressing them. From their own perspective, it is Arena 28 that was suddenly added to their Arena.
'It seems like the arenas have merged. I was right after all.' Soverick observed to himself.
He noticed the network of Arena attached to Arena spirit when he got a glimpse through the gap in the core of the Arena formed by the key released after he killed the rank 10 monster. The key ensured the qualification of Arena 28 for the 2nd challenge so it was combined with some of the other arenas that qualified. Without that key, Arena 28 will be relegated to something else.
The world spirit continued. "The next challenge is the last man standing challenge. You have proven that your skills are enough to survive out in the wild while surrounded by threats. Now, you have to prove that amongst everyone here, you will be the last to die."
"This challenge will have elements of luck and fate. It might not be fair but it is the way of the world. Nothing is fair in the real world. Still, the playing ground will be leveled by removing the power and artifact that you have gained from the survival challenge. You will have to rely on skill and luck to win this Challenge."
"On a last note. Feats are very important. If you kill someone in this Challenge, you can take half of their feats. You will need the feats for the next challenge. You will be eliminated once you are killed in this Challenge. There will be no respawn and the challenge will continue for a maximum of a week unless everyone else has been eliminated. The goal of this challenge is to stay alive to the very end because only the last person will win this challenge and gain the benefits of the entire challenge."
"I wish you all good luck."
The combined arena changed again. Buildings appeared in different sections. Forests in some and ruins in others. The competitors were randomly teleported to different locations. Soverick was teleported to a grass plain. The rules and guidelines of the challenge were transmitted to him through his brand.
His brand flashed with his updated information.
NAME: Soverick Ghastorix.
POWER: 0.
DESIGNATION: EMPEROR
SCORE: 53,327,494
RANK: 1.
FEATS: 27
He took a while to reorient himself. The teleportation didn't disorient him. He is tougher than that. It is the bombardment of information from the addition of the other arenas and their attacks that is causing his mind to swoon. The law matrix of Arena 28 fused with the law matrix of others. And just like he suspected, they tried to purge his influence from Arena 28.
