"That will grant him too much power, literally. It will make it very easy to create more chaos in the universe. I won't have it. I'm willing to break the rules to ensure it never happens. I will do anything to stop this madness from propagating any further."
The fourth consciousness ranted and swore that he won't allow Legion to get the Origin flame. It did not sit well with it that Legion will receive a part of the Origin flame and it is ready to throw a tantrum over it.
The three consciousness sighed as one. Then they asked him.
"What do you suggest then?"
The fourth consciousness became silent as it considered the question.
"How about the fulcrum of possibilities?"
The three consciousness sighed again. They are clearly exasperated.
"Your anger has blinded you."
"The fulcrum of possibilities will prevent him from having POWER."
"But it will not solve the problem."
"We cannot interfere in the workings of the universe."
"Those are the rules."
"He has to gain control of what he created."
"So we have to give him something to subdue the singularity of POWER."
"It is for the sake of the universe."
"The fulcrum of possibilities will only turn the outcome of destruction to creation."
"The outcome of destruction is bad."
"But the outcome of Creation can be anything."
"Anything is also bad."
"The laws of the void universe would be warped beyond compare."
"Unnatural things will be created."
"The chaos will be debilitating."
"We are doing this."
"For the sake of the universe."
The fourth consciousness became silent again. The fulcrum of possibilities is the best thing he is willing to let Legion have. It will convert the destruction of the fabric of space and time of the universe into creation. The outcome of destruction is bad. Even a tiny hole in the universe can be devastating. But the three consciousness are also right. Creation is indefinite.
The outcome of destruction is definite and certain. Anything can happen with creation. The outcome of creation is infinite. The universe will be fine with creation but the ensuing chaos knows no bounds.
The best outcome for the universe is stability. Destruction will remove from it and cause instability. Creation will add to it, warp it, or change it which will also lead to instability. So the problem has to be solved at its source by the person that created the problem.
The fourth consciousness gave another suggestion. "How about the ichor or creation? Let's give him the ichor of creation too. That should work."
"So you are willing."
"To give him two rewards."
"Instead of one."
"Is that wise?"
"He will still."
"Become too powerful."
"With the two of them."
The three of them asked him to rethink his suggestion. Yes, the ichor of creation will enable Legion to become able to wield creation after the destruction of the singularity has been subverted by the fulcrum of possibilities. That will limit the chaos that production can make since Legion will only be able to create things that are in line with the laws of the void universe. But is giving him two such powerful universal treasures better than one? What the fourth consciousness is hoping to avoid will still happen.
The fourth consciousness yelled at them, "I know it is a bad idea but you're not giving me much choice. I would rather let him have the blood of the creator and the fulcrum of possibilities rather than let him have the origin flame. I just don't want him to have the origin flame."
The singularity of power has broken the limits of the universe. It is similar to trying to put too much data in a data storage device. It is more like too much data suddenly appeared within the data storage. The data storage will crash. Or a number too large for the universe to express suddenly appeared in its programming. The universe will crash.
The problem can be averted if the singularity of power is annexed into the limits of the universe. If it is annexed, then it won't be able to hurt the universe. But that means the vermin troublemaker might also be able to take control of it. Legion is the one that created it in the first place. But it couldn't control what it created.
The fourth consciousness' dilemma is that the origin flame will be able to annex the singularity of power but Legion will also gain control of the singularity of power. He has to choose between the good of the universe and getting rid of the troublemaker.
"Think about it like this."
"The ichor of creation can and will."
"Create a lot of chaos."
"In the void universe."
"It will also."
"Grant the Authority."
"And Power of creation.
"Consider that the."
"Origin flame can also."
"Grant power but it."
"Is too much to control."
"The worst can."
"Yet be avoided."
"With the origin flame."
The fourth consciousness sighed. "Have I told you that I hate you guys?"
They answered. "Yes, 61,321,735,793,267 times now."
It snapped at them. "Fuck you."
Then It turned to Legion and said, "The Protectors are on to you. I dare you to become a world god. Then you will be close enough to our existence that we can make contact with you. Give us the chance to rip you apart."
It turned silent after saying its piece. The three consciousness resumed their judgment.
"We will continue."
"Legion is it?"
"You have the Chaos flame."
"You have the Divine flame."
"You have an Eternal soul."
"You have met all the requirements for the Origin flame."
"You shall receive the Origin flame."
"Let it be so."
Something settled onto Legion's soul and pulled their consciousness away from the world of judgment.
The fourth consciousness muttered wistfully. "I hope he doesn't survive the birth of the flame. I hope he dies to the flame. He will do the whole universe a world of good if he just dies. I know I'll be very happy if he dies."
