So weak?" He asked with disdain. "Is this the revered power of the Immortal Phoenix?"
A single touch killed the Phoenix and killed it permanently. Its flames were extinguished so it didn't resurrect. It made him disdainful of the famous immortality of the Phoenix.
Legion-7 explained, "It is the law of order that is too strong. It scattered its flames, not you."
Legion-5 chuckled. "So I am just snitching on the Phoenix to the void universe."
There is a core in his hands. It looks very similar to the godhood of gods. It even has godfire which is what the rebirth flame they wield is essentially. Legion is familiar with this kind of flame since they have something similar to it.
Within the core is a single white feather. They are familiar with this too.
The feather isn't dead yet. It could still communicate. It said to them, "Your vessel is very strong, immortal one. It should be expected but it seems we had underestimated you."
Legion-5 didn't bother to enlighten the fool. He is strong but he hasn't shown his strength yet. All he did was touch the Phoenix. It was his divine ability of order that did the rest.
A being that is weak against the will of the void universe such as Vampires and these Phoenixes are highly susceptible to the effect of order.
A single contact with the law of Order will expose them to punishment. Their existence will be unraveled and their sins will be laid bare under the judgemental gaze of the void universe.
"The Universe is truly judgemental," Legion-7 said as they sensed the gaze of the void universe.
The Will of the Void really cast its gaze over. It is not a physical gaze. It is spiritual and it is powerful. It soon turned into a vengeful gaze. The vengeful gaze is a physical one. It is a phenomenon manifested from the agitation of the law matrix.
That agitation led to the creation of massive thunderstorms in the sky. It is something that Legion-7 was on the end of for quite a while. Even now, he doesn't dare to create clones with his soul fragments for fear of the repercussions from the void universe.
He is hidden within Legion-5 but he doesn't want to test the patience of the void universe. The best he dares to do is try to create vessels for the clones of Legion. That and ensnaring gods to make them fall.
"It seems it is time to pay the piper," Legion-5 said to the soul fragment with petty glee.
The soul fragment was not distressed by the upcoming tribulation. It said confidently, "This is not over immortal one. I might die permanently but the Will of the Great Mother will be done. We know who you are and where you are now. We will keep coming. You can never outrun us. You cannot escape the might of the Phoenix race."
The display of confidence didn't rob Legion of their glee. They are happy at the misfortune of the Phoenix and can hardly wait for the tribulation to descend.
The core in their hand is on par with a Celestial godhood. It used the flames of rebirth as god fire to hide from the void universe while the spark of consciousness of the true Great Mother acted as the Authority of the Celestial Supreme. This is how the Phoenix race was created.
It is an innovative way to hide the soul fragments of the Great Mother from the void universe. But now that he has ripped away the fa?ade and made it known that this entity is not in fact a god, the void universe has become very angry to be fooled.
The retribution in the sky is not just for this phoenix. It is punishment for every phoenix with a common Origin that the void universe can sense.
Legion-5 wanted to keep the soul fragment but Legion-7 thought otherwise. "Let's leave it be. It is better that we don't risk the wrath of the void universe."
Legion-5 shrugged and said, "I am sure that I can handle it."
"But the universe can be very adamant. It might not give up until it gets every one of them and it might affect the other clones."
"That's true." He agreed.
The void universe probably knew that the Phoenix race was fake but it could only be suspicious of them. Without definite proof, it couldn't outright kill gods that were not limited to planes like normal gods.
He has given the void universe the proof it wants so they can be certain that the anger of the void universe will be swift and planes like normal gods.
He has given the void universe the proof it wants so they can unrelenting until every Phoenix with the same Origin is gone.
If he has one of the Phoenix cores with him then he too will become a target of this anger. The void universe has done something like that in the Gattling plane where it attacked everything around any of Legion-7's soul fragment clones and infected.
He released the core and freed himself from the range of influence of the tribulation.
Legion-7 also wanted to keep the core since it is the crystallization of the great mother's technique for hiding from the void universe. But despite being usually greedy to the point of being suicidal, he is not willing to cross the void universe again.
Especially not when the void universe is very angry. He has experienced how adamant the void universe can be when it is determined to wipe out a problem.
That anger bore fruit very soon. Purple lightning which is far more destructive than red ones dropped down from the sky and struck the core. The core was destroyed with a single blow. It shattered into ashes immediately.
The storm also targeted other phoenixes with the same great mother as the one he exposed earlier. So more than a third of the total amount of phoenixes were eliminated that way. It is a true death in the very sense of it. The Great Mother can't resurrect them anymore. Even world gods can't give such a death to Origin gods.
