<h4>Chapter 1526 Finishing Touches. </h4>


    All of the clones are in Legion-1''s inner world. Even their new clone is with them, so there are eight physical beings in the inner world. They all look alike, except Legion-3.


    They are white, featureless, and have a white crown on their heads. Legion-3 on the other hand, ispletely ck. If not for the white crown on his head that looks like a halo, his glowing golden horns, and his golden eyes, he would be indistinguishable from the darkness of the night.


    The eight of them surround thew matrix that they have spent more than 50,000 years building. It is a shimmering metaphysical structure of interwovenyers created with threads of different colors of solidified light. So it looks like a sphere created with the fusion of differentyers of ss, with each of theyers etched with different colors.


    Within the metaphysical sphere is the world engine. It is a golden band of light in the form of a sphere. Within the world engine is the Kickstarter.


    The Kickstarter can''t be seen because it is copsing and reassembling too fast. But if it were frozen, one would see two ck and white rings hooked together at the edge to form the infinity symbol. The ck and white rings contain a world-ender and a world fragment, respectively.


    Outside the multyered, multicolored metaphysical sphere are nine bands of multicolored light. These bands of light are extensions of the metaphysical sphere. They are also the cornerstones of thew matrix. It is through them that Legion will utilize the power of the world fragment.


    Thew matrix isplete, but the world fragment isn''t yet. Itcks a burden or the source of Supreme power, so it is going out of control and pressuring Legion-1''s inner world.


    It is as if they have built a spring to hold up the world, and the spring ispressed. Without the world to hold up, it is trying to release the potential energy within it by extending.


    It is like an expanding ballon. It wants to get bigger since there is nothing to hold it back. Unfortunately, Legion can''t allow that, or Legion-1''s inner world will explode.


    That''s why they are all surrounding it. They are trying to provide the necessary pressure needed to keep it from expanding further. Things would be easier if they had a Supreme Law to control the world fragment. Unfortunately, they don''t have that, so they have to find a good enough burden for the world fragment.


    All of them surround thew matrix and apply pressure to it with their minds. Their hands have formed intorge tentacles so that they can hold hands around the iplete world fragment and seal it.


    What they are doing is straining the world fragment and preventing it from expanding. However, they are losing the fight with thew matrix, as seen by the fact that they are being gradually pushed away from the metaphysical sphere. Their white tentacle hands were forced to stretch further for them to contain it.


    Legion-7 said, "This wouldn''t have happened had Soverick not made this too strong."


    He is the only one not part of the ring to contain the world fragment, but that doesn''t mean he iszying about. He is doing a lot of work from within the world fragment itself.


    He is spiritual and had a part in building thew matrix, so he can suppress it from within. However, despite how powerful his soul is, he is also failing to suppress thew matrix of the world fragment from expanding. It tells of the strength of what they have built.


    Soverick was unapologetic about it. He said, "This is good. It will be able to support the shards of power better this way. It is better if it is too strong than if it is too weak."


    The tree father urged them, "Just do it already. We can''t do this forever."


    Legion-7 assented, "I am almost done aligning with it."


    He has been saying that for a while now, but he hasn''t seeded. It should have been easy to align with thew matrix, even though there are nine cornerstones. But thew matrix is expanding, so the cornerstones are shifting too, making things difficult for Legion-7.


    Finally, he managed to seed. He said, "There. I''ve got it."


    A ghostly phantom of a multicolored tentacled spiritual entity appeared from within all of them and above the iplete world fragment. This phantom is like a projection from within all of them. But it can interact with the world despite its seemingly intangible state.


    The phantom settled into the sphere. This action caused the nine bands of light to begin rotating. Their speed was slow at first, but it increased very quickly. This caused the power of thew matrix to increase, and the subsequent pressure on the eight of them to increase exponentially.


    Soverick acted next without being told to do so. His body broke apart, which reduced the number of clones suppressing thew matrix to 7. The remaining seven had to close the circle and continue to keep the pressure on the growingw matrix. This was already difficult to do when they were 8 and before thew matrix began active operation. At this point, they are about to copse.


    It is perfectly normal that they are facing this much stress from preventing aw matrix from doing what it wants to do in its natural state. Anyw matrix that can exist must be able to push aside thew matrix of the void universe. Thisw matrix can do so, but it is stronger than a normalw matrix, so it wants to upy more space. Unfortunately, Legion-1''s inner world is too small to allow it to expand fully.


    This problem is because they can''t control thew matrix. They didn''t create it with their supremew, and they certainly can''t control its foundation, the world engine.
