GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1091 Lacking Attributes.

The world engine is not the only problematic part of their endeavor. Cosmic energy needs supreme law to control it too. If not for the activation of the cosmic energy within Helios by the void universe when Soverick comprehended a law, then it wouldn't have flowed into their mind network and strengthened them.

As it is, they still don't have a way to control cosmic energy properly.

Legion-7 was able to manipulate cosmic only after consuming a supreme law himself and by using the innate attraction between cosmic energy and law fragments to make cosmic energy do what they wanted it to do. Even so, his control of cosmic energy is far from being optimal.

The World engine on the other hand cannot be coerced. It either switches on or it doesn't. They have tried and failed to activate it. And Soverick doubts they will be able to remove its resistance to manipulation unless there is a supreme law to work with.

These are all facts that they know about. So should they quit now and try again later?

Legion-1 asked. "What are the chances that my supreme law will work for what we want?"

Soverick gave his reply after some thought. "There is a 100 percent chance that the world engine will start. But there might be other problems apart from that."

He didn't need to actually reply for his answer to be made known. Every Legion has access to information that he has access to. But that's in the past. By asking him, he has to review his memory and update his conclusion of the information he possesses which gives Legion an updated analysis from his perspective, not the previous conclusion.

The fact that they have access to his memory doesn't mean they have access to how he thinks. They especially don't have access to his eyes. That is something that is entirely unique to him.

Legion-1 said to every one of them, "I see. It seems it is certain that the world fragment is going to give us more problems than what we are facing. That needs to be factored into our decision-making."

The problem of the world engine is just the latest problem. There's no guarantee that another type of problem won't pop up later in the forging process. In fact, it is most likely that another problem will come up. They are not building an ordinary world fragment after all. They are building a substitute that will enable them to use their shards of power.

Soverick added, "It is not just about the requirement for a supreme law. We still need the shards of power to work. That needs a very strong supreme law. But more problems can crop up later."

Legion-7 buttressed his point. "The world fragment must have a strong enough law matrix that can withstand the backlash of the law of order of the universe. But that's not the only problem that might come up. The shards of power might not be compatible with the law fragment. It might refuse to work at all so all our efforts might be in vain."

Legion-6 spoke. "We shouldn't give up. We can't give up."

That made them all chuckle. Giving up is a funny notion to them. It is something that they won't do unless there is a threat to their overall goal. Currently, gaining control of the shard of power is not a threat to their goal of perfection, but it is a burden and it is slowing them down. contemporary romance

It is best that they give up. It is best that they focus on becoming world gods first. The shards of power will surely work then. But that's for a single person with limited resources both financial, mental, and physical resources to worry about. As for them, they will continue trying because they can. They can afford to fail several times.

Legion-7 continued. "What we need is a supreme law. Does it have to be ours?"

Soverick shook his head. "It doesn't need to be ours but which world god will help us? And which world god can we trust even if they offer to help? The first sage is certainly not one of them so we should forget about his law of order within his world fragment."

"Besides we can't get a world god to help us even if we are open to that option. It is something that can't be done easily even if we have the resources to buy their help."

That made the dragon clone chuckle. He said, "We certainly aren't giving up something that can draw the attention of a world god and make them help us. That is shortsighted."

"So world gods are out of the picture."

Legion-4 suggested. "How about we build our own world engine? We might be able to reduce the requirement to activate it that way."

He is a builder and very versed in the art of rune making. The others have his memories but they don't have his experience and neither did they come up with his innovations. His perspective is unique in that he believes that anything can be built with the right tools. Hence he suggested that they should circumvent the problem of the unresponsive world engine by building one.

"That sounds like a good idea. We will be able to control something we built ourselves."

The tree father disagreed. "We can surely build a world engine but it will not be as good as the one that comes from a realm tree. It will be very weak and highly inefficient. Most importantly, it won't be able to manipulate cosmic energy. We will need a supreme law for it to be able to do that."

Aeternus said, "What if we build something that looks like a world engine but its only function is to kickstart the world engine? The first sage's world fragment can come into use that way."

"But that could destroy it?" The dragon clone said.

Aeternus shrugged mentally. "If we can't use it then it should be destroyed."
