Chapter 1581: An Impasse.

Bits and pieces of the material world were drawn to the sphere and forced to collapse onto it. They didn't release energy after collapsing because the gravitational pull was so great, even energy couldn't escape the influence of the sphere.

Soon, light itself was pulled into the sphere, so the area around Legion-5 was plunged into darkness. Legion-5 couldn't be seen anymore. The only thing they could see was darkness and the only thing they could hear was the howling of the world as it was dragged before it was forced into silence by the black sphere.

The Origin gods watching were dismayed. Some even complained, "Not this again."

A Supreme Origin god shouted, "Quick, stop it. Overwhem it before it forms fully." They all threw different types of attacks at him, but they were frozen by the gray force that came out of the sphere of darkness around Legion-5. Everything that was frozen was then added to the sphere of darkness, which caused it to expand. As it expanded, so did the gravitational pull that it was exerting on the world.

Everything that entered the zone of darkness collapsed. Not even divine sense could return from it. It was a boundary between existence and non-existence. Beyond the boundary was a zone of no return.

This move was powerful. It needed a large amount of energy and power. It also caused a large amount of backlash. But it didn't kill even one enemy. Every Origin god avoided it. And considering that it was stationary, it didn't take them much effort to avoid being pulled into the black hole.

But as long as they avoided the black hole, they couldn't attack Legion-5. That means they have to watch him. It is a bad idea for them because the black hole is getting bigger. The longer they wait, the lesser their chances of breaking it are.

It is a good idea for Legion-5 that they wait because, apart from the initial cost of setting up the black hole, he doesn't need much to sustain it anymore. All he needs is to continue exerting his mind to keep it intact. The black hole will do the growing on its own.

These Origin gods are not foolish. They know that it is a bad idea to watch it grow. They suspected this the first time he used it, and they know now that it is certainly a bad idea.

But they also know that everyone who tries to break will die. It is another thing that they are certain about. This knowledge is the reason why they hesitate to act. Their hesitation caused a delay, which caused the strengthening of the black hole, which increased the difficulty of resolving it, which led to more hesitation. And so the cycle continues.

At the beginning, five Supreme Origin gods were needed to break the black hole. But because they hesitated again and again, the required amount quickly became 50. If five Supreme Origin gods didn't want to sacrifice themselves, it is unlikely that 50 of them would.

So Legion-5 was able to get respite from the constant attacks. However, he wasn't happy. He wouldn't even be happy if all of his enemies dropped dead right now. That's because he has used cosmic force and Helios' spark of power. It means the Supreme Alliance has already won.

Legion's ability to wield cosmic force was a secret before he was besieged. Now everyone knows, including the Supreme Alliance. So despite holding his own against a million immortals, he feels like he is losing.

But that's only the beginning of where his unhappiness lies. He has had to reveal other secrets as well. It is something he doesn't want to do but has to do because he foresaw a worse option.

It all starts with how this fight started in the first place. This fight shouldn't have happened at all, because he hid himself well. But the Supreme Alliance was not going to make things so easy for Legion.

The attempts of the Origin gods to attack Legion-8 and Helios in the Tyrant realm didn't go well at all. For one, Legion-8 was always willing to use Chaos energy in the Tyrant realm and Helios was always pouring solar mass on his enemies.

Legion-5 can't use Chaos in the high heaven realm because it would reduce his contribution points. He can't burn his enemies like Helios because he doesn't have a star to use.

As for the second reason why the Origin gods could besiege the clones in the Tyrant Realm, it had something to do with the Tyrants. The Tyrants would interfere and turn the siege into a three-way battle.

The two reasons made attacking the clones were a waste of time, so they turned their attention to the ones in the high heaven realm. Legion was determined to make this option unavailable by hiding, but that didn't go well for them.

The Supreme Alliance didn't act at the forefront, but they pulled strings in the background to make things difficult for Legion. One such thing was to track and monitor his position with the scout class and announce his position to the world.

They couldn't divine his position, but their scout class had unmatched perception, which they used to find him and the other clones. They didn't attack him, but they kept following him and updating his position in the global channel.

He couldn't hide anymore, and he couldn't run away because of the endless array of immortals that wanted to get a piece of him. It is not that he didn't try to hide. It is just that the Supreme Alliance will always find him. It was uncanny, and he is sure at this point that they have the help of a world god in finding him.

The assistance of a world god would explain a lot of things because Legion has been blindsided a lot. They can't see the activities of the Supreme Alliance, much less their past, because they have been shrouded. Meanwhile, the Supreme Alliance is gaining more and more information about them.
