Chapter 1090 Generous Shannon.
They began talking about the supreme laws again. Soverick let it happen because it is good for them to divert their attention momentarily. It will be detrimental to a single person trying to achieve what they aim for. Going on tangents like this will be a waste of time for a single person if the tangent doesn't benefit the main point at all.
But they are not a single person. They can afford to go on a tangent because their combined residual mental power will make up for the distraction. They are still thinking about the main issue but they are stuck on what they should do. So they are thinking of something related to the problem that might help them out.
Soverick arranged all their different thoughts in order. First is their knowledge of concepts and authority. They thought about how the two of them worked and where they got their power from.
Authority is powerful because it is based on facets of supreme laws. Seeds of power are the nascent state of supreme laws. They are concepts. Concepts and Authority are different, but what they have in common is cosmic energy. It means that technically, they can make Authority just as they can make concepts.
Soverick interjected again to add the main issue. "I had a plan for our breakthrough to titans of law. This has improved on it but we still have the issue of the world fragment to deal with. We won't still be able to create the law fragment at this rate even if we are all origin gods. Should we give up on it for now? Maybe we should revisit it when Legion-1 gains a supreme law."
He can only state the obvious anytime they have a mental argument. His position is to be neutral. The obvious here is something that they all can agree on. It is an irrefutable fact that will stabilize the mental structure and prevent it from collapsing.
The fact is that they already had a plan to become titans of law based on the legacy he acquired from Shannon. This plan was so good that it would make their chances of breakthrough almost 90%. And that is even when they try to build concepts with 6 laws.
The risk that accompanies the use of more laws increases remains constant up to 9 laws. But then it becomes nearly deadly to use more than 9 laws. It is as if there is a barrier to the creation of a concept with 10 laws.
So the virtual creation concept legacy that he got from Shannon is still not enough to fuse all of his laws. But then this happened. They made a concept with more than 10 concepts while trying to make a law matrix. All in all, their endeavor to create a world fragment has not been a total waste of their time. But they are far from achieving what they seek.
The clones became silent. They don't have a response to Soverick's question. On the one hand, they can focus on concept creation since they can achieve that easily. They will preserve a lot of energy, time, and resources that way.
On the other hand, if they can create a concept as a by-product, then the power of a world fragment can only be imagined. They just have to bear the waste of resources and effort.
"Speaking of which. Didn't you kill Shannon for her Legacy? Her death is becoming more and more useful to us."
"Yeah. We wouldn't have attempted forging a law matrix without the knowledge of the virtual creation. She has helped us a lot."
Soverick and the others chuckled at that memory. Shannon wanted to give him her legacy. He delayed until the end of the competition to meet with her. He had already been proclaimed dead by that time so he couldn't swagger into the Ghastorix family. He had to sneak in.
Fortunately, Hadrick had left the main city by then so sneaking in was very easy. He found Shannon and killed her immediately. He didn't want her to tell anyone that he was still alive so he killed her with one strike. He also wasn't interested in hearing whatever she planned to say.
Besides, the best way for him to get her legacy is to see it for himself. That needed her body to be destroyed for her dying concept to be exposed. Then he used his eyes to analyze the structure and function of her exposed concept.
He acquired that knowledge and it improved their chances of becoming titans of law. They attempted to forge a law matrix because of the knowledge of virtual creation and accidentally created a concept. This happy accident has made it possible for them to attempt the creation of a 10-law concept without the danger to themselves.
It will take a lot of tries and resources but they will be able to do it without actually putting themselves in danger. They won't have to face the repercussions of the judgment of the law matrix the way it judged the multicolored concept after it was created. The judgement will occur independent of them so they won't be consumed if they fail. nOve)lB(In
They also won't be on a time crunch when they are creating a concept like Ragnarok. Legion-7 can always pluck more law fragments of laws that they have comprehended from the law matrix while they have all the cosmic energy that they need.
The leaking of essence that occurs during the breakthrough won't affect them. So they won't be in any form of danger even if they fail to make the concept. In a way, Shannon's death is a boon to them that just keeps giving.
"Let's get back to the main issue," Soverick said to them. "All of these are good. But it won't solve the problem of the world fragment."
They began to consider the problem again. They know where everything went wrong. The world engine refused to move. It needed a supreme law to set it into motion but they don't have one. That is not a problem that can be solved easily.
