He is not a kind person normally so he is not going to hold back at all. He certainly wouldn't hold back when success in the rite of passage determines which divine abilities he can get. So he continued to accelerate towards the sea of despair.
Then he saw something that drew his attention. He saw the shadow of the platform on the ground. There are some people underneath that shadow looking up at him. Some are looking at him with hope while others are looking at him with hatred.
Some people hate him while others consider him their salvation. But all of them are under the shadow of the platform. Therefore they are all under the thumb of the Supreme Alliance.contemporary romance
"First there was the sea of despair but now there is the shadow of despair. It is subtle but it is there and it is permanent. The Supreme Alliance knows how to play with the hearts of people. No one has to say it for the inhabitants of the plane to know that the only way out is to accept the superiority of the Supreme alliance and be lucky enough to become citizens."
Then he laughed. "I like the Supreme Alliance. I like how they do things. They are so domineering. I will leech off of them until they are no longer useful to Legion."
He keeps on finding more and more reasons why the decision of Legion to reincarnate into the body of a Supreme Beast is a good idea. Legion made some mistakes like in the case of the race that Legion-7 was supposed to reincarnate into. And they also made some good decisions like in the case of Soverick. But being a Supreme beast is still the best.
The other clones don't exactly agree with him but he ignored their complaints. Aeternus called the Supreme Alliance "the vanilla version of demons" because they have a lot of similarities with demons except they pamper their young. Legion-5 didn't bother to argue with him.
He reached the starting line of the rite of passage in a few minutes of flight. It is a patch of land that has formed a ring around the plane. It is called the outer ring. His mission item rang in his mind to notify him when he reached the section.
[NOTICE: Base is ready to be activated. Choose a Location for activation. Activation will take 1 hour.]
He looked at the black cube in his hand and muttered, "This is probably part of the body of that Mechanical Emperor. He is monitoring everything closely and is always nearby. Fortunately, I have very little to hide."
He found a spot that stands just behind the sea of despair. The entire plane has been demarcated into hexes. Two bases can't occupy the same hex which means that no one will be able to set up their base here as long as he is the first to.
"This won't block everyone else but it is good enough." He said as he activated the mission item and threw it down at the center of the hex.
The cube began to transform as soon as it hit the ground. It enlarged and continued growing. The fuel for its growth is the energy within it and the objects around it. It used the energy within it to consume the objects around it, refining them and adding them to itself. Soil and rocks were consumed as the black cube grew bigger.
"The metal fire is truly wonderful. It is probably only Legion-3 and Legion-7 that can match it in its insidiousness."
Legion-7 snorted in his mind. "The metal fire works in line with the laws of the universe. It is just transforming the laws. I on the other hand devour laws. That's why the universe wanted to get rid of me. Let's not mention how corrosive Chaos energy. Compared to Chaos energy, this metal fire is cute."
That made Legion-5 chuckle. "Who can blame the universe? You are very greedy so it is better to eliminate you. I would too if I were the will of the universe."
"Just come and get me already."
"Give me one hour. I have to protect my base and scare some rascals off."
His hex isn't the only one bordering the sea of despair. The sea of despair is very large so it is bordered by three hexes. He could seal the sea of despair off if he had three mission items. It is unfortunate that he didn't have three. So he picked the hex in the middle. This will be the location of his base and his fortress where he can be safe.
Other supreme beasts arrived after ten minutes. The first one that arrived saw him and shot toward him. The two of them began to fight immediately without any talking. The fight didn't take long though. It didn't even last a second. Legion-5 grabbed his opponent's neck immediately and slammed her against the ground.
His poor opponent groaned in pain as she cratered the ground. Legion-5 stepped on her and held her down with his foot.
"Let me go weirdo." She shouted.
Lehion-5 tilted his head at her. "Offer me 10% of your future points and I will let you go."
She screamed at him in defiance, "Dream on weirdo."
He tsked in annoyance. "This is annoying."
They are still in the protection stage so he can't eliminate her. He can try but fatal attacks will be blocked. It will continue to be like that for a month. The protection is there to deter the young Supreme Beasts from going after each other so early in the rite of passage. The Supreme Alliance doesn't want to see the elimination of their investment so early. They want everyone to have a fighting chance and have time to show their capabilities.
It is a good thing for the young Supreme beasts or he would have decided to eliminate all of them right there in the assembly hall. That's why he just left everyone behind and decided to be the first to get here.
