Bringing The Prophecy To Pass.

The First Sage was amused. He laughed in their faces to show his amusement. The roar of his laughter caused the white space of Legion-5's mind to shake. 

He continued speaking, but with an additional mocking tone. "I have seen enough of you to know what is most important to you right now. That is the era of conquest. Without it, you will lose a lot of momentum and might be stuck as origin gods for the next 1,000 origin cycles." 

"You have grown really fast in a short amount of time. Even the realm lord is surprised by your growth. But if I stall you for the next origin cycle, you will become stagnant for a thousand times that time. That will open up a lot of possibilities for how to deal with you. And you know me, I love possibilities."

He laughed triumphantly and bolsteringly.
