Chapter 787 It Is Time For A Meeting.

A titanic octopus monstrosity entered the tear but a humanoid statue came out from the other side. The humanoid statue stepped through the tear into a new environment in the physical world. The statue has a smooth shiny surface like that of silver. It has a pair of hands and legs. It doesn't have any eyes on its head. Its mouth, nose, and ears are missing too. This is not a strange sight in this plane. There are other similar-looking creatures roaming around. Most supreme beasts look like this. 

Back To Soverick

Soverick opened his new eyes and moved his new body. He looked around himself and noticed that he is a strange unknown environment. The environment stopped being unknown a moment after. He sat up and rubbed his head a little. He feels a slight headache which is very odd in a soul body.

"It seems I was killed. This body is strange and it is not entirely comfortable." He muttered. 

Then he winced when he felt residual pain from his death. "Too bad for Soverick v1. Too bad for me."

The last thing he remembered was the information in his brand then a lot of pain and he was suddenly here. That pain is still lingering with him. It might never disappear. After all, he has been changed by that experience forever.

Legion-7 attached himself to Soverick again. It entered his consciousness and uploaded received information about the previous owner of his body. He found out about the death of his previous version through it.

"Wow." He exclaimed. "I knew that I could die and I did. But the sage and his lineage actually shafted me so badly. How did they do it?"

The information came to him as a shock. He couldn't believe that his name was besmirched and that there is actually another child of the plane. After all, he wasn't killed by someone from the Virut plane and he wasn't killed in his boosted state. So it came to him as a surprise that a child of the plane still exists when it should have ended with him.

"I guess the first sage expected and planned for my death. He even took advantage of it. Poor Soverick v1."

"Now that the mourning is over, I have work to do. It is time for Soverick v2 now." 

He is not the former Soverick and neither is he the real Soverick. The real Soverick is in a state of both being dead and alive. The real Soverick never participated in that competition. Legion knew to expect the worst so they prepared a back up so to say. So in a way, the Soverick that attended the competition was never the whole Soverick. It was a part of Soverick and Legion-7.

He stood up and left the house. He explored the city and acquired up-to-date information about the world at large before he decided to contact the sage. He wasn't hoping to gloat but he had requests that he is owed for his performance in the competition. He must collect what is due to him. So he activated the law of order of the sage by making mana waves with the same fluctuations of the supreme law.

"Reminds me of the message within the sheets of paper." He said. "How nostalgic."

The response came immediately. He felt a powerful Will try to pull his mind away.

He smirked and said, "Not this time."

Out In The Void Universe

The sage's worries turned out to be warranted as usual. He suddenly sensed a fluctuation of his law of order somewhere in the realm of high heaven. It is not from the world fragment that he gave the realm lord. It is from the Virut plane.

The sage smiled and shook his head. "Colour me surprised."

He would have been shocked were he not familiar with immortality and resurrection and with Soverick's penchant to do the unexpected. Immortality and resurrection shouldn't work with someone that is not at least an Origin god. So this should have shocked the sage but he is merely surprised.

He said to himself, "That Soverick is full of surprises."

The major reason why he isn't surprised is that the anomaly is from Soverick. Soverick has shown several times that he can make the impossible very possible. Apparently, if he can comprehend the supreme law of a world God, he can come back from the death caused by one.

So he tried to pull Soverick's consciousness into his mind space for a meeting. His smile faded away when he didn't get the response that he should get.

"Huh. What's going on?" The sage asked in confusion.

He is confused because Soverick's consciousness is not moving at all. It is as if he is pulling on a mountain and not the flimsy stone that he is familiar with and has come to expect. It has made it so that he can't force Soverick to meet with him. This shocked him more than Soverick's resurrection.

Even an origin God cannot deny him of a meeting, not unless they have a supreme law themselves. The best an origin God without a supreme law can do is maintain consciousness in the real world despite having part of their mind in the sage's mind space. So the sage is very stumped about why he can't drag Soverick's mind like he used to. 

The first sage chuckled and said, "I knew I was going to regret using my supreme law as bait but I didn't think it will come so early." 

Soverick couldn't possibly have acquired a supreme law in the short period of his death to his resurrection. The only way he could have come into contact with a supreme law is during the competition. This made the first sage believe that Soverick's understanding of his supreme law is what's making him resist the pull on his mind. The first sage is wrong and he will soon find out just how wrong he is.
