?1149 Between A Rock And A Hard Place.

This strange object is not an incredibly powerful seal as they thought. It didn't stop the Origin god from killing himself so he was able to commit suicide by explosion. But not all of his existence was destroyed. That is why he exclaimed just before he died.

He noticed that his energy refused to enter his arm which was covered by the strange object. So it remained intact after his explosive death. That arm was thrown around because of the explosion.

Fiar, a god of knowledge, saw this and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh no."

Now technically, the origin god isn't dead yet. After all, his arm is still intact. He began to regenerate from that arm. An origin god can regenerate from a tiny drop of blood much less a whole arm. Unfortunately, the strange object was covering up the parts that regenerated as soon as they regenerated.It is what Fiar saw that made him realize that they might be in bigger trouble than they expected.

This realization hit Fiar hard because he saw this origin god wasn't the only one to commit suicide to avoid being sealed. A lot of them had listened to his advice. And now they are being entombed alive.

He shouted, "Beware of the strange device. It is a sealing device."

He wasn't certain of it before but now he is. Unfortunately, that hasn't helped their situation because the strange object is not behaving like a normal seal.

The tree father watched all of them struggle with slight amusement. He finds their struggle amusing because it will lead to nothing. The game is over as long as the device touches them. The only way to escape it is to cut off the part that the device has attached to and give up on that part forever.

Committing suicide is the worst idea. The device would have sealed up more parts of their body by the time they completely regenerated. Cutting off the part that is already sealed is giving up on it forever. But it is better than getting their whole existence sealed forever.

"Destroy it." They yelled at each other. "Destroy it quickly."

They couldn't remove the strange object so they began targeting themselves and each other in a bid to destroy the seals. The tree father laughed at the sight. They don't know what he knows so they look foolish to him.

Their foolishness is understandable since what they are doing is the next best thing to do. It is bound to fail because if they can't beat him, then they can't destroy the artifact. After all, it is supported by his divine power and they are not powerful enough to beat him.

The strange object was built with his Authority as a foundation and reinforced with cosmic energy. The reason why it can't be detached and why the sealed part won't detonate when is because of the divine power of order within the device.

The immortality of origin gods is based on the law matrix of the void universe and the foundation of the law of order that it stands on. The seal uses his divine energy of order to enhance their connection to order and uses cosmic energy to bind them further with the law matrix. It makes them unkillable, even by themselves, but at a price.

In fact, he is not harming them. He is doing them a favor by not letting them die. Isn't that immortality? They are the ones that want to harm themselves. He on the other hand is the righteous god that can not bear to see death.

The device will spread all over their existence in the way the law fragments spread and form a layer around giants of order. And just like the law of order in giants, it will seal them from the world. Soverick made sure of that feature when he designed the schematics.

The device is also very sturdy. It won't break easily. It will defend the captives just like the law of order defends giants of order. It is like an armor that protects them.

So while the device is not as fancy as the seal of Origin gods and doesn't use restrictions of space or time to seal captives, it does the same job as a seal. And even better is that it actually protects its prisoners from death.

He is being generous. The seal and the other functions of the device are just side effects of his generosity. Surely he can't be blamed for that?

The origin gods don't share his point of view. They think his gift is evil so they try to destroy it. Even if they could, the continuous attacks of his death stars won't let them.

They either have to focus their attention on the device or defend themselves against the onslaught of attacks. If they don't protect themselves from the death stars, they will die and regenerate only to find that they have been sealed further.

They are in a pickle. Or what some will call between a rock and a very hard place. It is not an understatement to say he has put them in a hopeless situation. But some were lucky. The lasers from the death stars cut them away from the sealing device. It made them realize how to get out of their predicament.

"Cut it off. Cut off the seal."

Word spread around quickly that the method to free themselves from the seal is to cut it off. They took that advice to gain a temporary reprieve from their situation.

It is only temporary because the only way out of this is if they manage to escape. Unfortunately, there is no way to escape. The border has been sealed so they can't go back.

They are being bombarded from the front so they can't go forward. Their bodies are then broken apart by the lasers. The only thing left is their sealed parts. So they will have to regenerate from the sealed part and be sealed further.
