Greed All For What Chapter 1629

[ … words ]

The Tenth clone replied, “I am the secret weapon you have prepared, silly. You had me hide so that others wouldn’t know about me.”

Legion-1 remembered it now that it had been pointed out. Memories of their actions to create a secret clone to combat the exposure of their secrets and how they had purged the memories of those actions from their minds all returned to Legion.

They were suddenly enlightened. Legion-5 said to Legion-1, “Truly good thinking on your part.”

The tenth clone also complimented him, “You always prepared for the worst. That’s why we will achieve great things.”

Every clone relaxed and also complimented Legion-1 for being smart when he created a secret clone when he created the others. But Legion-1 didn’t reply. Instead, his eyes remained narrowed in suspicion.

Maybe it was because he was in charge of their Origin, but he felt resistance towards this person. He can’t explain why, he only knows that there are two contrasting facts.

The fact is that he only created nine passages, so there can only be nine clones, not ten. So he can’t understand why there are ten clones, despite them being so familiar with the tenth clone.

So he asked them, “Did we break the limit of the void universe on Origin channels?”

The tenth clone tried to reply, but Legion-1 interrupted him. He said, “I don’t want the answer from you. I want it from them.”

The other clones didn’t understand why he was so suspicious, so they chuckled and decided to straighten him out. But then their words got stuck in their minds. It is because they don’t have a reply.

They racked their memories for when they broke the limit but couldn’t come up with anything. It was then that they began to realize something was wrong too. This suspicion made the memories of the tenth clone that they just got to disappear.

The foundation of the memory had been destroyed after being questioned, so their minds became somewhat clear again. Suddenly, the tenth clone became someone they knew to be part of them, but they had no memory of them.

Legion-7 asked slowly, “How come there’s 10 of us?”

Aeternus was shocked when he realized that this is the first time he is seeing this tenth clone. He asked, “When did we gain another clone?”

Legion-1 sighed and declared, “We have been mentally infiltrated!”

Even the 10th clone joined in raising the alarm. He shouted, “Legion has been compromised. We are doomed.”

Legion-9 pointed at Legion-10 and said, “You are the traitor.”

Legion-10 accused in return, “No, you are the traitor. I have never seen you before, too. You must be the traitor.”

All ten of them could feel that the tenth clone was telling the truth. He has truly never seen Legion-9 before, so that means Legion-9 could be a traitor.

They all subconsciously ignored the fact that the other clones had memories of Legion-9 before now. Something was blocking their cognition of that knowledge, so they began arguing and accusing each other of being traitors.

All of them were arguing except Legion-7. Legion-7 realized something as they argued. He said, “I think I know why we didn’t see the absence of the laws of Order and Chaos in the world and why we were fooled. It is because we have become stupid.”

He knows that much, but even then, he can’t tell how they became stupid and how to fix it. He knows that there is a traitor in their midst and that there shouldn’t be a tenth clone, but he can’t figure out who the traitor is.

It was Helios who came to the rescue. He decided to fight back against the hand of the world god that was coming down on them.

A lot has happened in their minds since they discovered that they might be dreaming, but the world around them is still going on. They haven’t escaped whatever situation they are in.

Helios decided to use his dragon heart to claim dominance over the world god. He declared madly, “DOMINATE: FREEZE!”

The dragon claw falling down on them froze. Not only that, but the world around them also froze. Then it began to shake. It shook so much that it fragmented.

Helios changed in that moment. He was a giant scaled humanoid being with a dragon head. In his normal form, he appeared to be a giant cyclops with one eye on his dragon head. But then his existence unraveled to become his concept. He had to do so because the world was trying to crush him for freezing it.

He unfolded into a giant eye with 14 pupils. 14 wings of various colors appeared around him. The eye grew bigger as he used his divine spark, world fragment, and every other Supreme Power at their disposal to fight back.

“DOMINATE: PUSH.”

He eventually became a star. He was radiating so much power that the world couldn’t contain him anymore. The world broke with a bang. Then it turned into a whirlpool around them.

The whirlpool was like a river of fragmented memories and information swirling around them and confusing their minds. It looked physical, but it was mental. So the whirlpool is putting pressure on their minds, and everything they have just experienced was a figment of their imagination. The world was an illusion. It was not real.

The only real thing are the 10 minds that make up Legion. They should be 9, but apparently they had gained one more somewhere along the line.

They had been compromised. That much is clear. But Legion, is not to be underestimated. They have realized the problem now, so it didn’t take long for them to fix it.

Legion-7 didn’t let Helios’ actions go to waste. He is stronger than ever before after fusing with a world fragment. Only a world god or stronger can fool him, but not for long. And certainly not when he has realized that fact.

A/N: Legion created a secret 10th clone? I really didn’t see that coming. I wish I was half as smart as them.
