Chapter 1585: Failed Negotiations.

It is a conundrum for Legion. Chaos energy can alleviate their situation. They can use Chaos energy however they want in the Tyrant Realm, but they don't want to be bogged down with fighting there. They would rather fight here in the high heaven realm, but they can't use Chaos energy here.

Legion-5 thought to himself in consolation, "Chaos energy won't solve all our problems anyway. It might be able to strip Origin gods of their cultivation, but it can only cause pain to Supreme Origin gods. Supreme Origin gods will just resurrect and come back to fight us." Legion-1 agreed, "Besides, the source of our problem is not the Origin gods besieging us. It is the Supreme Alliance."

Legion-7 said with bitterness, "Funny enough, the dragon king probably knows our secret. After all, he was the one who leaked some of them to the dragons and the Supreme Alliance. But these people didn't go to the dragon king to ask him how we succeeded in reincarnating or how we gained the spark of power. No, they are here troubling us and being pesky nuisances."

Legion-5 had an answer for that phenomenon. He said, "The reason we are the ones being troubled is because we are weak."

One of the Supreme Origin gods who has been especially pesky resumed being a nuisance. He just resurrected and joined the mass of bodies surrounding Legion-5.

He didn't move close to Legion-5 because the closer anyone is to him, the quicker they will die. Not only is there a whirlpool dragging and killing people, he is also using portals to send deadly punches into people far away from him.

So anyone within his sight will die, but those who are close to him have priority. This would have killed the morale of enemies who are scared of death. They would try to stay as far away as possible. But these are immortals.

The Supreme Origin god joined the verbal battle going on around Legion-5. A lot of immortals were speaking to Legion-5 with their divine sense, but his divine sense stood out among them.

He said to the clone, "Give up. You can't beat all of us."

Legion-5 replied with disdain, "You must be blind. That is exactly what I am doing."

"You know what I mean. We are immortals. You can never defeat us."

"I am immortal too. You can never defeat me."

"But we can make this resistance not worth your while. Just give us what we want?"

Legion-5 snickered before replying, "And what? You will leave, and we will let bygones be bygones. You must be naive if you think that will work on me."

"You don't have any other options."

Legion-5 chuckled. "It seems to me that I do. My first option is to give up. My other option is to fight all of you, and I am doing it well. How many times have you died? How many resources do you have left for resurrection? Will you be able to continue participating in the era of conquest? What have you gained from fighting me up until now? Are you sure your time and efforts won't go in vain?"

He made sure that everyone could hear him. "This is a gamble. You have all put a lot of money into it, and you have lost your money. You are hoping that I will break and you will earn your money back. You are wrong. I won't break, and I have a good chance of achieving it. Just ask yourself this: How many times have I died? How many times have all of you died? Who is losing out here?"

"I am undefeatable, and I will never give up. It is best you know that now. Your resources spent on resurrection are long gone. It is not coming back. I am a fruit that you can only look at and not be able to pluck."

The Supreme Origin god didn't back down. He continued, "You may be right. But we know that you are saying this to discourage us. That means there's a weakness in you. We just need to find it."

"What about you? You were the one that came to ask me to surrender? Were you saying I should give up to encourage me to keep fighting? If that was your aim, then you should be glad that you have succeeded."

"That wasn't my aim. My aim was to cut short this senseless fighting. You are right that we have lost a lot, but you are wrong to say we haven't gained anything. Every moment we fight with you, we gain more information about you. We learn about your strengths, and we will soon learn about your weaknesses."

Legion-5 laughed and said, "Come at me then. A few months is far too short for you to give up. Let us give this ten thousand years. Maybe I will give up after that. Or maybe you will learn enough to subdue me. If ten thousand years doesn't work, we will try a hundred thousand years."

The Supreme Origin god didn't like the sound of that. He and everyone know that they can't keep fighting for ten thousand years. The two realms will become completely aligned very soon. At that time, all of them will have to weigh the choice of continuing the fight against trying to earn contributions for the era of conquest.

Even before they have to make that choice, the answer is clear. Most of them will prioritize the era of conquest. It is the smart choice to make, not only because it is what they came for but also because they have yet to get anything tangible out of fighting Legion.

So they have to end this fight before they have to make that choice. It is best if they can end it sooner because this fight is costing them in Origin essence. Not only do they need Origin essence to use their Supreme Law to warp the world, they also need large amounts of it to

resurrect.
