Chapter 1306 Desperate Enough To Be Suicidal.

However, his servitude continued despite his explosive growth due to divine life energy. He couldn't escape from his seal.

He would have managed to escape from a single great mother if he had this strength. Unfortunately, not only are there many great mothers right now, but each one is also stronger than him.

The great mothers have grown fat over the years thanks to him. So his situation didn't change until the moment Helios had the bright idea to combine the law of order, the divine energy of order, and Chaos energy within his body.

Legion-5 complained about how risky it would be but he had said, "Go for it. Or I will bring Chaos energy into the mind network myself."

He was one of the clones that was eager for it. He was already close to the point of using Chaos energy to gain his freedom. It will harm him but it will also harm the great mother. So he wasn't hoping for anything substantial from Helios' experiment. A small spillage of Chaos energy would have been enough to satisfy him. He was so desperate that his expectations were suicidal.

They went for the experiment and they almost died. The origin flame changed his soul in a way different from that of others. It became capable of transforming into a concept.

He doesn't have a body like the other clones so his soul changed then but he didn't know about this change. What he did know immediately about was the strange black orb that was revolving around him.

This black orb wasn't impeded by his surroundings. It went through the soul fragments caging him as if they weren't there. It was behaving like an intangible thing that couldn't be sensed or interacted with.

The great mother that trapped him also didn't notice it. She was still trying to beguile him into giving up. Her words rang out in the same monotonous manner. "Give up. Join us. Resistance is futile."

This has been going on for more than 40 years now. At first, she used sweet words to convince him. She stopped being delicate after a few years of her sweet words going to waste. She resorted to saying the same words monotonously over and over again.

There was no change in her routine despite the event that Legion-7 had just gone through. She didn't notice any changes in him and remained busy with what she was trying to do. She has made some progress with the new flames of rebirth so she is trying to test it.

There are numerous great mothers in an area close to the barrier of the spiritual dimension. The great mother who trapped him is here with them. They are this close to the barrier because she is trying to see if her new flames of rebirth can protect one of her clones in the world of manifestation. They remained oblivious to the ticking time bomb within one of her clones.

"What does this even do?" Legion-7 asked himself.

He tried and tried but the black orb remained unresponsive.

"If only it could free me." He thought.

It was then that the shard moved. It received his intent for freedom and acted on it. His solid form became translucent. Nothing seemed to have happened from his perspective. He just felt as if the pressure on him from his surroundings had suddenly disappeared. The soul fragments were still around him but he seemed to have become intangible. They couldn't touch him or interact with him so he moved through them.

The effect of his situation was immediate. The great mothers lost access to soul force. The great mother that used to trap him screamed in anger. It was a high-pitched squealing of the soul that caused the nether waters to vibrate.

She screamed at him, "What have you done?!"

She had felt the ceasesure of the supply of soul force from him. It had happened suddenly without any warning. What's most odd is that she can still see him and he is still within her but she can't grasp him no matter how she tries to.

Legion-7 was also shocked. It happened instantaneously so he was cut off guard even though he had been trying to achieve the same thing for 40 years. He has been trying to acquire his freedom and it has finally come to him but he doesn't even know how it happened.

He can't answer her question but that doesn't mean he would continue staying within her. He tried to leave her body and she tried to stop him. But she couldn't touch him so he escaped.

"Nooooooooooooooo!" someone screamed in pain.

It was a great mother that screamed in pain. It was because their experiment was interrupted. The sudden lack of soul force threw the new flames they were working on out of balance and created an explosion. Her scream was shrill. Most of the soul fragments in her body were destroyed in that explosion. Even her true soul was damaged by it. What's worse is that nether water was quick to take advantage of the opening to wreak havoc.

The great mothers ignored the dying clone and surrounded him. They wanted to keep him there. But apart from nether water which could still interact with him, everything else they tried didn't work. It made him realize that he hadn't become intangible, other spiritual objects just couldn't interact with him in this state.

The great mothers attacked him with everything they had. Fire of rebirth, tentacles of flames, soul parasites, and more. But none of them could get to him. He passed through them without any friction.

Legion-7 sort of escaped. They can't keep him in place or do anything to him. It is not that he has become stronger than them. They just can't do anything to him.

But the great mothers didn't let him go. They continued to chase him. He was free but he remained surrounded by the great mothers. They plan to follow him to the ends of the spiritual dimension if they have to.
