1273 Don't Mess With Divinity.

Information about the sequence of divine abilities that a Supreme Beast assimilated is a secret that a Supreme Beast should not release to another person easily or they will be countered and their weakness will be exploited. They should be extra careful with this information because if there is a race that is very adept at taking advantage of weaknesses, then it is the Supreme Beast race.

The invigilator decided to intervene then. The metal ground of the base morphed into a face. The face said, "I am sorry for the situation we have put you in. But this is a very serious situation that concerns the safety of the entire rite of passage. If we can't resolve it now, we may have to cancel the rite of passage and evacuate all the Supreme beasts."

Legion-5 shrugged and said, "So cancel it. Or bring an order from the Supreme Alliance for me to divulge my divine abilities under oath. I haven't broken any rules so you have no reason to make this demand of me."

The Metal face grinned and said, "You stubborn rascal. You are just like your mentor. We had to evacuate everyone after his stunt. But you are right. Unlike him, you haven't broken any rules yet."

Legion-5 was intrigued, "What stunt did my mentor perform?"

"He didn't tell you?" The metal face asked. Then it laughed. "I wouldn't tell you either if I did something so embarrassing."

"Forget about your mentor. If he didn't tell you then I won't either. Let's focus on the matter at hand."

"I still won't tell you about my divine ability."

"How about this? You can tell me about it. If I deem it satisfactory then we won't bother with it any longer. I also swear on my origin that I won't divulge the information or use it against you in any way. I swear on my Origin that I won't antagonize you in any way unless instructed to do so by the Supreme Alliance. Is that good enough?"

He has the right to question him as the invigilator. Plus he is swearing an Oath so Legion-5 shouldn't be so stubborn unless he has something to hide.

Legion-5 also noticed that all the scouts had gone. Even the weird large eye is nowhere around anymore. They also aren't spying on him so Legion-5 finally decided to relent. But that didn't mean he would spill the beans yet.

"What if you don't find it satisfactory?" He asked.

"My earlier promise still stands but I will also report it to the Supreme Alliance. I swear this on my Origin."

Legion-5 finally decided to speak. He said, "I appreciate the sincerity, sir. I will be too proud if I can't tell someone of your level after all the promises you have made. Besides, what does someone as powerful as you want with my secrets."

The metal face said playfully, "I like flattery very much but that's not what I want right now."

Legion-5 explained to him. "I got the ability to spread my body at the spiritual level when I assimilated the soul fire divine ability. My original divine ability caused it to mutate. I could shapeshift my form to a certain level before. The soul fire just expanded my limit." He replied.

He also showed some of his physical tentacles to prove his point. His arm split into ten of them. They were the same tentacles he used to bind the great god of fire before he blasted his face with super-concentrated dragon breath.

"I have always been malleable. So the soul fire made me malleable on a spiritual level."

"That's true. I have all your data and I also saw how you fought the grand god. What you have said makes sense. I guess it has never been seen before because of your mutation."

Then he said to Legion-5, "You are one talented supreme beast. A lot of people have high hopes for you. That's why we had to take your safety seriously. There are some entities that might want to harm you and we can't allow that to happen to you under our watch."

"Thank you for your protection." Legion-5 said.

"Go on kid. But pay attention to everything around you. Don't be caught off guard, alright?"

"I won't sir." He promised.

"Good. Last warning, don't make the mistake of becoming a god. That will not end well for you. I know you have been messing around with divinity. A godhood is very different from a staff with divinity. If you mess up, even I won't be able to save you."

Then the mechanical emperor left.

Legion-7 said to him, "All this fuss over you. They take care of you too much. Supreme beasts are another class of luxury and decadence."

Legion-5 agreed. "Their protection and care is somewhat excessive but being guarded against protection is necessary."

Legion-7 snickered, "It is unfortunate that they are guarding against possession and not reincarnation."

Legion-5 grinned and said, "Imagine if the Sovereigns that Legion-1 killed were Supreme beasts and not stone skins. The realm lord wouldn't be able to stop their pursuit of Legion-1 at all."

The elders of the stone skin raced chased Legion-1 for more than 50 years. Legion-1 and the Origin gods of the stone skin race fought several times. If not for the deal that Aeternus made with the realm lord, that pursuit wouldn't have ended so quickly.

They imagine that if the young ones that Legion-1 had killed were supreme beasts, it would have been more difficult for the realm lord to get them to stop.

Legion-7 couldn't help but laugh. "That would have been a sight to see. But if that were the case, then Legion-1 would have died before the realm lord interfered."

"He might even have been sealed. If there are any groups capable of sealing Origin gods, I am certain that the Supreme Alliance is one of them."

"If that happens then I doubt the Supreme Alliance would give Legion-1 up easily. The realm lord might not be able to get him back."
