?1171 Unnatural Weakness.

Legion-8 had ancestral trials to go through while he had nothing. If not for the mind network and the entertainment it brought, he would be tempted to break out of his egg early.

Legion-5 remained in his incubator for hundreds of years. It was almost a thousand years after his reincarnation that he finally got his freedom. He stopped growing for a while. His egg sensed that his potential had been saturated so it began to crack. He doesn't have neighbors in the womb to delay him so he hatched as soon as he was ready.

"This can't be right. I am still weak." He said to himself when he sensed the change.

He can sense that his body is still weak. It is so weak that he can't move it much less use it to break out of his egg. But his egg doesn't care. Air entered through the cracks in the shell and reacted with the contents of his egg. The content began to turn bad and toxic. If he doesn't leave his egg soon then he will be poisoned to death. The birth of this content finds its genesis in Nøv€lß¡n★

Fortunately, he is not without help. The managers of the hatchery noticed his situation and came to his rescue. They took out his egg from the incubator and cracked it open with care. Then they brought him out of the egg. His body is soft like a worm's. In fact, he looks like a white worm with a squishy head and small ropes for limbs.

The managers wiped off the liquid on his body and placed him in another incubator. Apparently, he is not done yet developing. He still has another round of development to go through before he can be considered fully gestated.

He is not the only one in this situation. All the hatchlings were placed in incubators in a sealed room that contained thousands of them. They are all white and soft like worms. It is the only side effect of using the Mother plant to reproduce instead of a natural egg.

The Mother plant prioritizes the survival of the hatchlings over their development. Development uses too much nutrients and causes too much stress on the eggs. It is much better for the eggs to develop the bare minimum to survive on their own.

"Yes. We were lucky."

That's the explanation that they can come up with for why 13 extra hatchlings were produced from Legion-5's batch. They don't know that the siphoning of Legion-5 by the mother plant helped the others greater than it should. His supply of mana from Soverick was shared with them for a short while and it increased their survivability.

The ignorance of his caretakers made them accept it was due to luck and chance.

"What about the mutant?" His father asked.

"He survived and successfully hatched. It took him 219 years more than the others but he managed to hatch. He is significantly stronger than the others in his batch."

His father asked, "Did his potential increase, or is the increase in strength due to his prolonged gestation?"

"We don't know." The Surbodinate said in reply.

His father threw aside the report and said, "You can leave."

"As you wish."

The powerful Origin god was left alone with his thoughts. He was silent for a while then he chuckled.

He thought to himself, "I don't know if I want him to survive the blood crucible or not."

He wants Legion-5's body. That can only happen if Legion-5 dies and he gets clearance to examine the corpse. But if Legion-5 dies in the blood crucible then he won't get his intact corpse. He certainly won't get the part that he needs the most for his research. On the other hand, he doesn't want Legion-5 to survive the blood crucible.
