He was truly like a butterfly on the battlefield. He couldn't be boxed in, and he couldn't be suppressed because of the dragon heart. What the dragons didn't want finally happened. He reached their home plane after three short years of fighting.
It was then that Legion-8 chose to hatch. Everyone within and outside the plane felt it as soon as he came into the world. It didn't feel like a living thing was being born. It felt like the universe was giving birth to a treasure. It felt like power was being reincarnated into a physical form.
The seemingly ordinary black egg that had been abandoned by its mother after not hatching for more than 10,000 years finally hatched. The shell cracked and broke apart. Light burst out from within as if trying to escape.
The mountain the egg was in was lit up from within. It became translucent as the light passed through it into the environment. The whole mountain became a lamp, illuminating the world.
The shells of the egg didn't fall to the ground. Instead, they fell inward into the egg. It is as if there was something within the egg pulling them.
The shell of the egg fell into the egg to reveal a small star. It is a beautiful star with many colors. Astute observation will indicate that the colors are 13 in number. There is even a white halo around the core of the star.
It is a beautiful star. But it is also a deadly star. The halo around the star is stationary, but the star itself is rotating, and its speed of rotation is increasing rapidly. It caused a formless power to spread outward from the star.
Everything that the formless power enveloped lost its color and froze. So the surroundings of the star became gray and completely still. It was as if the 3-dimensional world had become 2-dimensional. The formless power turned the world into a still and drab painting.
This infection spread rapidly into the world. It filled the sky and the ground. It caused a spherical zone of grayness and stillness to appear in the home plane of the dragons. The mountain was still a lamp, but it had become gray too.
This zone of greyness was increasing, so the dragons moved to stop it. If they didn't know about Legion-8 before, then they surely know about him now.
Thousands of dragons came to attack him. Legion-8 was expecting it. He watched the avalanche of dragon breath with disdain, without the intention to dodge or block. Instead, he was already preparing his dragon heart for an attack in retaliation.
The dragon breath moved close to him and entered the zone of grayness. The grayness infected them and made them freeze in the air. The attacks of thousands of dragons were nullified.
Then he declared, "Dominate: Push."
The world obeyed immediately. There was an explosion as an invisible force expanded outward and instantly from him. The sky and earth were flattened and pushed aside. Everything in the grayness disintegrated silently, while the dragons in the sky were smashed by the force in a large explosion.
It felt like they flew face-first into a wall. They were struck down from the sky and flung away from the star.
The cave the egg was in had been destroyed in the explosion. Even the mountain was not spared. It is completely missing. A crater has appeared where it should be. Above the air in the same location was the star still shining and still spreading the zone of grayness and stillness.
The star declared again, "Dominate: Down."
Gravity increased more than ten thousand times in a split second throughout the plane. Everything in the world was pressed to the ground. Things that were high in the sky were smashed against the ground with so much force that they either cracked or cracked the ground.
As if that wasn't enough, the star declared again, "Dominate: Pull."
This time, it was the world beyond the grayness that obeyed. The ground, trees, water, air, and even the dragons in intimate contact with the ground were all pulled towards the star.
No one could resist at all. Not after they have been thrown back and down in quick succession. They froze immediately after they entered the zone of grayness, thereby forming a large barrier around the egg. This barrier continued to thicken as the zone of grayness expanded and as more objects were pulled into it.
Legion-8 observed the barrier around him in satisfaction. He said to himself, "This is worthy of a god-beast."
The barrier is his new egg shell. He is creating a new egg since the last one wasn't good enough to finish his gestation. He is a powerful being that requires the nourishment of heaven and earth for him to be born.
This is not a phenomenon that is unique to him. Every godling or god beast born by the void universe was born this way. He has mimicked the divine ability of the dragon king, so he too must fulfill these requirements to be born. The world around him will serve as nutrition for his birth.
The dragon king and the ancestor of world beasts went through this process. It is just that they were born in the void. That's why both of their descendants find it easy to survive in the void. World beasts practically eat void energy, and dragons can refine Origin essence without being Origin gods.
He doesn't have the luxury of being born in the void, and he doesn't have the support of the void universe either. So he has to make do with what he has. But the dragons are selfish and inconsiderate. They wanted to interrupt his gestation at all costs.
The barrier he created with Cosmic force was thickening at a rate of 10 meters per second. In at most two minutes, he would have a shell that is more than a kilometer thick. They saw this happening, and they wanted to stop it, but even their dragon breath will lose its power and freeze whenever it reaches the barrier. Then their breath will also join the barrier to protect him.
