Chapter 985 True Or False, Order Or Chaos.Chapter 985 True Or False, Order Or Chaos.
"So this is a false law of a false supreme law." He said in understanding. "It must be a false law of Chaos. It certainly doesn't behave like the true law of order that Helios encountered."
His understanding of the world changed. Just as there is a true law of order and many false laws of order, which are supreme laws, there are true laws and false laws, which are derivatives of the true law of Order and the false law of order respectively. The authenticity of laws doesn't determine their strength or power. It just determines their origin.
True laws come from the void universe through the true law of order while false laws come from false laws of order. And just as there is a law of order and its false counterparts, so there is a law of chaos and its false counterparts.
Ragnarok was aware of these but he has never seen supreme laws in action apart from Helios's and Aeternus's encounters. His current situation is different from theirs because Legion didn't know that Chaos also had its false counterparts.
The sin of Carnage is a false counterpart of the law of chaos. It is a supreme law that expresses itself as the power of blood. The sin of carnage is capable of creating false laws like the law of blood but it needs the law of life to be present within the target.
It is because Carnage is the medium between life and death. It needs life to convert to death. Without life, there can be no Carnage. This is why other races apart from elves are not susceptible to the plague of Vampirism.
Ragnarok observed these changes with slight fear.
"It seems this is how every form of Supreme laws work. They are always trying to overwrite one's existence no matter if they are true or false, order or Chaos. They are incredibly dangerous."
He knows what's going on with himself. He is being transformed into a vampire. It is a glorious and beautiful thing the way the power of blood is overwriting his existence. It is also a fearful thing because he knows what happens to fledgling vampires. They don't have a Will of their own. They have to obey their superiors.
"I think I should commit suicide now when I can." He thought to himself.
He realized that a supreme law is very dangerous especially one that belongs to a demon god. The supreme law is not acting on him directly, only its derivative, the power of blood, is acting on him through Xigger. But he is not willing to stick around for things to get worse.
He thought his curiosity had been satiated but there was another change. It caused him to delay his suicide. No vampire up to date has ever had a divine ability based on devouring. The other Warrogs don't count because their's is an incomplete divine ability.
In a normal situation, those exposed to blood power through a bite will have their bodies forced to transform. They will become vampires if they are compatible with the changes. Their souls will be forced to accept the mark of Carnage and be forcefully modified by it.
But he has a devouring ability. It is also one that has successfully been modified by the power of blood and has also engorged itself to the brim with it. The laws in his concepts have been changed so his concept has changed. The next step for it is evolution.
Since he is not in control of his body and there is a lot of power being supplied to it, his divine ability decided to go through with that evolution right now. His divine ability initiated the breakthrough to transcendence without him. But transcendence needs his soul. So he was forcefully drawn back to his body.
"This is remarkable. So this can happen too?" He said in wonder.
He finally gained control of his body but he can't stop the process anymore. The breakthrough has started. He has to break through now and have his soul fuse with the power of blood. His existence will become bound to the demon god forever. It is something that he cannot allow to happen. He immediately rejected the mark of sin when it tried to attach to his soul.
"I'd rather die." He thought to himself.
He couldn't stop his body from betraying him but that is not the same with his soul. His soul is his personal domain and he has complete and total control over it. He would rather die than have his soul subjugated by the demon god so he resisted the fusion with the Mark of Carnage.
His refusal led to immediate detrimental effects. His body began to break down because of the rejection of the soul. The link between body and soul was being severed. He will die soon.
"I guess it is time." He thought to himself with a mental shrug. "I won't have to kill myself. That's good too."
Then he wondered to himself. "What will happen if I die like this? Will I turn out like Legion-7 or will I return to Legion-1?"
He became curious again. Even other clones are curious. They want to know if Legion-7's situation is unique or if it is possible for every clone. He decided to have a natural death to confirm it. He is not concerned about death if it can help Legion. After all, ignorance is bliss.
Ragnarok's previously modified body began to break down. It softened in his father's arms.
Xigger was surprised by the resistance. "Why?" He asked Ragnarok.
He can sense that Ragnarok is very compatible with the power of blood so he can't understand why there is resistance.
The voice in his head answered with unprecedented calmness, "It seems your son has a very strong will and a very powerful soul. He would rather die than become a vampire."
"Ragnarok. Accept the changes. Become a vampire and we can remain together forever." Xigger pleaded with his son.
Ragnarok struggled to say, "Fuck you."
