Chapter 1207 Passive And Active Mutations.

Legion-5 was not surprised by the overprotective nature of the Supreme Alliance but he still asked his mentor with an aggrieved tone, "Why not?"

Tanc830,428,723C replied sternly, "Because it is the law and it is for your own good."

But then he soothed his tone as he continued, "In a normal situation, you won't be able to leave the plane until you become an Origin god. The Supreme Alliance doesn't take risks with their investment. But this situation is not normal so you might be exempted from the norm. You should be grateful for that."

"Alright. Thank you very much for the information."

"You are welcome. And one last thing. Don't joke around with the rite of passage. Your success and failure within it affects me." Tanc830,428,723C said before he cut off the call.

Legion-5 scratched his smooth chin as he muttered, "Interesting. So he gains something from my performance in the rite of passage. Too bad that I don't care about him."

He will do what's best for him and Legion and only that. If he cared about his mentor then he might have heeded his advice even if there was no need to rush. He doesn't have any reason to delay normally. There is nothing important for him to learn. The other clones have acquired all the knowledge he needs and he doesn't lack in life experiences.

The fact that he can get life essence also makes waiting to grow slowly by devouring Origin energy from Soverick a waste of his time. But there is a need to rush. There is a very important reason other than the acquisition of strength for him to rush the rite of passage.

He needs to meet up with Legion-7 as soon as possible because Legion-7 can't hold on for much longer. He needs Legion-7 for his plan and he needs to save the desperate clone so it is killing two birds with one stone.

Legion-5 began preparing for the rite of passage. He got an update on his plan a few hours later.

Soverick said to him, "I have inspected the Stellaris plane. It has just been invaded and conquered by the Supreme Alliance. I see resistance in the plane but that's only because the Supreme Alliance has lax control over the plane. They haven't invested much manpower into defending it. I see just one Supreme Beast in the whole plane for now. So it should be easy for Legion-7 to sneak in."

Legion-5 nodded. "That's great. We will meet up in this Stellaris plane."

Legion-7 joined in their mental conversation. "That's good. I have met a strong scheming lady that I can't defeat and the void universe is not giving up on eradicating me. I think I am just going to give up. There is just too much bullying."

The clones encouraged the weary Legion-7 but none of them pitied him. They are not even angry too much about his enemies because they know that Legion-1 deserves what he is getting. Despite how what he said about bullying, he was the aggressor.

Only the interference of the void universe can be considered bullying and deserves some pity. Even then, they can understand why the void universe would want to eradicate Legion-7.

Soverick has given them the stamp of approval on the Stellaris plane so they moved into action immediately. Legion-7 gave up resisting his enemies and decided to retreat to meet up with Legion-5 in the Stellaris plane.

If Soverick had deemed the Stellaris plane too risky a place to meet, then the plan would need to be changed. He might even need to abort his plans for the rite of passage.

Fortunately, they didn't need to abort the plan so they began to prepare for it. They have all the information they need about the plane from the Supreme Alliance and more thanks to Soverick's investigations. Everything should go well with coordination from Soverick.

A year went by then Legion-5 was picked up by his mentor. He met his mentor for the first time.

Tanc830,428,723C looks like any normal creepy Supreme Beast. He is featureless, creepy, and has a doll-like visage that makes him look like any other Supreme beast. Except he is red and not pale white like the others.

"Must be due to his mutation. It must be a very powerful mutation then." Legion-5 thought to himself.

He has gone through the information about divine abilities and their compatibilities so he knows about changes in physical appearance due to some divine abilities. These changes usually appear only when divine abilities are being used. They don't cause permanent changes to Supreme beasts.

But some powerful divine abilities still affect Supreme beasts even when they are dormant. They are so powerful that they cause the Supreme beast to change too much physically. That usually means they have some passive effect constantly affecting them.

"Are you ready to go?" Tanc830,428,723C asked him.

His mentor is blind and doesn't have any eyes but Legion-5 still felt a massive pressure on his shoulders due to his mentor's attention. His mentor's divine sense felt like a heavy cloak draped over him.

Legion-5 exclaimed inwardly, "It is unmistakable. This is dragon might. This guy must have stolen a dragon's heart."

"Yes, I am ready to go." He replied to the question.

Tanc830,428,723C nodded. Then he enveloped Legion-5 in his divine sense. He wrapped it around him like some delicate egg. Then he lifted Legion-5 gently off the ground and shot towards the edge of the plane. Tanc830,428,723C made sure to cushion his charge from the backlash of his acceleration.

Legion-5 wasn't surprised by the way he was being handled. Other races will be surprised by the care and attention that an Origin god is giving to a transcendent. They will still be surprised even if Tanc830,428,723C were his father because an immortal rarely cares about mortals like that.

But that's just one of the things that separate the Supreme Alliance from the other races. They care a lot for their young ones.

A/N: I hope by now you're getting some inkling as to why a certain multicolored tentacle monster would appear in a plane where there are a lot of Supreme beasts.
