He is free but his situation is not yet done. He still has a lot to do.
He said to himself, "I still have to break through. But first, I have to take care of the heart of Carnage."
The shackles binding him to the demon god have disappeared temporarily. It is only temporary because the demon god still has an anchor within his body. He can feel the demon god trying to worm its way back into his existence. It is unfortunate for the demon god that it is not a contest of strength. The demon god remained locked out no matter how much it tried. This wouldn't be so if it were a contest of strength. He is nowhere strong enough to beat the demon god in any struggle so the demon god ought to be able to break past the cocoon that sealed him. But the rules have changed. The demon god is failing to reconnect to the heart of Carnage because Ragnarok is not the same existence anymore. No one who has been touched by the Origin flame will remain the same. He is something unknown. Even he doesn't know what he is.
"What do I do?" He asked himself and all of Legion.
This sealed cocoon is only as strong as his spiritual power. It can be broken physically or spiritually by a tangible force applied externally. That means it can't keep him safe indefinitely. Someone will come to break it soon so he doesn't have time to waste. He must decide on what to do with the heart of Carnage now that he has gained some respite from the demon god.
The demon god will regain access to him if the barrier is broken and he doesn't want that. He can choose to expel the heart of Carnage now. That will separate him from the demon god permanently. Or he can do something fueled by greed for power. It didn't take long for him to make a decision. He decided to do something fueled by his greed for power. It was not a difficult choice to make. It is not difficult for Legion at all. He said to himself, "I will just kill myself if it doesn't work out." His greed might be his undoing. But he is willing to go through with it even at the risk of death. So he pumped soul force into his divine ability within his body. The black core within his body with 9 spikes absorbed the soul force readily. It will absorb anything it comes in contact with as long as it has the power. That means it can absorb the heart of Carnage with the empowerment of soul force. The heart of Carnage was pulled into the spiked black core. It didn't resist at all because it lacked the will of the demon god. It is just a defenseless object of great power. There is no way he won't try to take a defenseless object of such power. If it causes a backlash, then he will kill himself to avoid implicating Legion. Fortunately, it didn't come to that. He grinned in excitement. "Like taking sweets from demon fledglings."
It was too easy. It certainly doesn't feel like he is stealing from a demon god. It feels like he is bullying weak demon fledglings. The heart of Carnage was absorbed immediately. He turned it into a rune of power in accordance with the path of Omegas instead of breaking it down into energy. The massive amount of blood energy within it was turned into death essence, crystalized and anchored to the core of his divine ability. A small red ring appeared around one of the 9 spikes on the core. He shook his head at the sight. "Only one? What an insatiable glutton." Then he grinned. "It is just how I like it."
He resumed his breakthrough now that he is free of the demon god and everything related to it. The cocoon around him fused with his body. His soul was pulled out and made to attach to his body. Then divine life energy poured in from the soul sphere. It filled him up as his potential increased. His breakthrough occurred without a hitch. No one disturbed him or interfered within the few minutes that it happened. His Colossal body began to shrink after he became a transcendent. He reduced in size until he became just 10 meters tall. He also morphed during the process into his humanoid form. Then the cocoon around him broke. He appeared before his waiting audience with confidence and without shame despite being naked. He sighed and said, "Ah, freedom."
His voice spread out around him in waves of pressure. It is as if there is a terrible beast within him peeking out through his voice. All those who heard it fell to the ground from the sky. They couldn't fly and they couldn't raise their heads to look at him. The pressure from his existence forced them to bow their heads. Only one person could remain standing in the cavern. But he ignored her in favor of examining his form. He doesn't have fur all over his body like Warrogs do. His skin is smooth like an elf's. It is probably due to the heart of Carnage and his previous identity as a high elf. That and his long, smooth ears are the only things he has in common with high elves. His other features are unlike those of elves. For starters, he has three eyes. Two of his eyes, which are the ones on the left and right are normal. They have pupils, iris, and scleral. The pupils are gold. The iris are red while the scleral are black. This arrangement formed a red ring around a golden spot on a background of black. The third eye in the middle of the two and on his forehead is completely red with several black concentric circles within it. There are black 9 circles on the red background without any pupils. It is as if he has 9 iris that encapsulate each other.
